The core values of the Han nation are filial piety, the extended meaning of filial piety is loyalty, loyalty and filial piety are the two major moral codes of conduct of the Han nation, inherited for thousands of years, for every Han person, filial piety has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, since the day of birth is everywhere.

The sage advocated filial piety not only purely for the sake of honoring parents, but also divided filial piety into five classes, the filial piety of the Son of Heaven, the filial piety of the princes, the filial piety of the princes, the filial piety of the scholars, and the filial piety of the common people.

"The five punishments are three thousand, and the sin is greater than unfilial piety; If you want the monarch to be supreme, those who are not saints cannot, and those who are not filial have no relatives, and this is the way of chaos." It is said that those who are unfilial are the same as those who threaten the monarch and criticize the saints, and they are the bane of chaos.

To put it simply, from a domestic servant to a master, from a military official to a superior, from a student to a gentleman, from a child to a parent, from a courtier to a monarch, in short, how can a person who is not even filial to his parents be loyal to the emperor.

Therefore, for Confucianism, the first to advocate filial piety is the top priority, serving the parents and being loyal to the monarch and patriotism is the core belief of scholars, and filial piety will also play a role in uniting people's hearts, and Chinese characters, are all important factors why the Han people can continue to this day.

Loyalty and filial piety is put forward by the sage, even the emperor must abide by it, the basic meaning of filial piety is good parents, including "life" and "death" two aspects, the so-called "death is like life, death is like life, filial piety is also!" Mencius said: "Birth and nourishment are not enough to be a big thing, but death can be a big thing." "That's why funerals and rituals are held after the death of parents and elders.

Perhaps for modern people, filial piety is a bit narrow, but filial piety to parents is always right, although a beautiful funeral is not advisable, but a simple and solemn funeral is a must, just because everyone will grow old.

Angered, Xu Hao openly executed his aunt Ma, causing an uproar in the Xiao family, but did not cause a single wave outside of Xiaojia Village.

Who happened to be at this time when the emperor was getting old, including the imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen and the civil and military officials of the imperial court, and the world's reaction to this was surprisingly consistent. Either be silent or praise loudly, because it is in line with the sacred heart of the emperor, in line with the values of the scholars, and in line with the perverted dedication of Confucianism to filial piety.

As for whether it is reasonable and legal for Xu Hao to kill the elders as a nephew, few people have pursued it, because the murderer is a nephew as a nobleman, not the biological child of the deceased, and the deceased is a widow and a vulnerable woman.

What's more, the reason why Xu Hao made a move was that Ma's was unfilial, and it is understandable that he is impulsive and hot-blooded as a man who stands up to the sky. It's too late for Shilin to sing praises for this, in short, this is the privileged class, and in the Ming Dynasty, filial piety is greater than the sky, and it is not considered to have violated the royal law, which is a major feature of the feudal dynasty.

In addition, Mrs. Xiao had a great favor in the neighborhoods during her lifetime, and countless squires and people were all indignant when they heard about this, and applauded Xu Hao's behavior, if anyone dared to embarrass Xu Hao in this, he would definitely be angry, and who would care about the death of a widow?

The world is often so ugly that it is a sin to kill someone. Killing 10,000 people is for the hero!

Xu Hao has no regrets about his actions, as early as when Ma abused Yushi, he had already made a murderous move, and at that time, the people's mentality did not dare to hurt people, let alone kill people. And in the past few years, he has completely understood that the Ming Dynasty is not a legal society, and he is one of the few people who can override secular laws. Since he has bumped into it, the new hatred and the old hatred are counted together, no matter what morality he is moral, the eldest husband often needs to be happy and revenge in the world, and there is no need to look forward and backward.

Who would dare to arrest him and ask him for his guilt? He hoped that the court would react violently. After Comrade Lao Zhu died, he wanted his concubine to be martyred, and the courtiers were ordered to commit murder is loyalty and filial piety, so he killed his unfilial aunt for his grandmother. Is it filial piety? The result was disappointing, and no one sought justice for Ma's.

That night, the body was put into a coffin and placed in the backyard, and the mother's family who heard the news didn't dare to put one, and honestly handled the funeral with the frightened Xiao Yi, and didn't even have the courage to report to the official, and afterwards it was spread throughout the capital through the mouth of the villagers.

Most of the people of the Xiao family admit in their hearts that the Ma family deserves to die, but she is a famous lady of the Xiao family, how can she be killed by a junior who says that she will be killed? Some people dare not speak out about this, no matter what, Xu Hao's shot seems too domineering, and after this incident, the relationship between Xu Hao and the Xiao family has become cold, and there is even a faint possibility of a break.

Xu Da sighed after hearing this: "It's really well-intentioned, with this grievance, Zhu Yunwen will not use the Xiao family to coerce and kill the killer in the future." ”

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang said approvingly: "Well done, such an unfilial person should be cut with a thousand knives, I still have some doubts about the aftermath that I wanted to explain to you, I am afraid that you will commit the woman's kindness again, now I can rest assured." ”

Xu Hao said: "Everything has a cause and effect, my grandmother has just died, I have a last word to take away some beloved things, not even a day has passed, my aunt dared to disobey my grandmother's last wish and roared in the mourning hall, it is a minister who thinks that her death is not a pity." ”

Zhu Yunwen looked even more haggard than the emperor, his face was pale and his eyes were blank, he had been serving the emperor and presiding over the court ceremony for several days, he was tired and half dead, thanks to his young and perennial martial arts practice, he barely survived.

This time, Zhu Yunwen admired Xu Hao very much, and said: "Filial piety is the first of all kinds, although your approach is reckless but excusable, if I were in it, I would probably be angry and order." ”

"From what happened to your grandmother, I have to arrange for the aftermath in advance, otherwise who knows what will happen?" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with emotion, "When I make a big trip, Xu Hao will be the assistant to Yunwen, and whoever dares to raise an objection at that time will kill him for me." ”

Xu Hao smiled bitterly: "How dare the minister kill the minister without a name or a point?" Bixia, you're too uplifting. ”

Zhu Yunwen said in a low tone: "I will make arrangements for this matter, you don't have to worry." ”

Xu Hao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang lifted his spirits and smiled: "Who has not died in life since ancient times? Yun Wei doesn't have to be sad, you can go and rest after working for many days, just let Xu Hao accompany me. ”

At that moment, Zhu Yunwen smiled kindly at Xu Hao, turned around and went to the Xinuan Pavilion next door, and the entire hall was empty and there was no one else.

Zhu Yuanzhang motioned for Xu Hao to step forward and said in a low voice: "Yun Wei is kind by nature and has never killed anyone, I don't worry, I will give you a holy decree now, even Yun Wei will not dare to disobey at that time, except for Yun Wei, no matter who the disobedient is, they will be executed." ”

Xu Hao said murderously: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with relief: "You have always been decisive in dealing with things, and you will definitely do what you promised, and the most important thing is to be loyal and patriotic, and you will not kill innocents indiscriminately." Knowing how to be considerate of goodness, I am very satisfied with your very good nature, do not disappoint me. ”

Xu Hao knelt down on one knee and took a piece of yellow silk with both hands, and said loudly without hesitation: "The minister swears to complete Bixia's entrustment, and will never live up to Bixia's trust, if you violate this oath, heaven and man will be angry." ”

Sitting in the carriage home, Xu Hao touched the holy decree that weighed less than half a catty and more than a thousand catties, and looked happy.

The Xiao family in Xiaojia Village, the death of the Ma family completely shocked the entire Xiao family. This let some clansmen with ulterior motives know that after the old lady, the Xiao family still does not allow anyone to bully.

There are still two beautiful widows and wives left in the Xiao family, some of whom are coveted, especially the second lady Mei, once you get your hands on it, you will get both people and money, not to mention that Mei's own charm is as beautiful as before, who is not coveted by the men of the Xiao family?

No one dared to try to get involved now, at least no one dared when Xu Hao was there, killing Ma was as easy as killing a chicken. There was nothing to do afterwards, so what if it angered him? Even the three masters of the Xu family can't do it.

Not only did no one dare to have a bad heart, but they all came to offer their hospitality, and the funeral was handled in a particularly decent manner. Several elders in the clan discussed how to distribute the family property, and Zuihou seemed to be very fair and divided into five shares, with three sons and two daughters.

Xu Hao proposed in person that his mother's share of the family property was inherited by Xiao Yushi, and several cousins had a share. Immediately win the praise of the whole village.

Aunt Xiao and the two aunts were frightened that night, and Xiao Yi, who was frightened, did not dare to settle in Xiaojia Village, so they waited for the funeral of their mother and moved to Majia Village immediately.

Shangguan's family has Xiao Rong by his side, so he chooses to live in Xiao's house. is very smart and jokes that her daughter can go to her cousin's house at any time, and she is more and more convinced that her nephew is her biggest support for the rest of her life.

Aunt Xiao got a piece of her mother's inheritance, carefully took care of it in the future and did not worry about food and clothing, she was so strong by nature, she naturally chose to move to the Xu family's house to live in a separate courtyard, and did not want to blindly be worshiped by the Xu family to give people a tongue, but she also left her daughter in the garden for Xu Hao and his wife to take care of, because living in the Xu family will cultivate a real lady.

Mei's has always been timid, and now when he sees Xu Hao, his heart is pounding, and he originally wanted to stay in the Xiao family far away from Xu Hao, but who knew that Xu Hao proposed in public that his cousin was far away, and the second aunt had no children and no daughters, so he had to move to the Xu family to live with his cousin Xiao Yushi.

Mei secretly complained in her heart, but she didn't dare to speak out against it, so she honestly packed up her things and prepared to move.

No one in the village would think that Xu Hao wanted to occupy the family property, and the womanizers thought that Xu Hao's purpose was to occupy people, and they talked about it, it was normal to use his cousin, and it would be too unreasonable to use his aunt.

On the day of the funeral, the six carriages stopped in front of the inner house, and the daughters of the Xiao family came out to greet them except for the two aunts.

Because of the rare opportunity, the nephews and outsiders of the Xiao family who gathered in the outer house scrambled to stretch their heads, all wanting to see how fragrant the two young ladies of the Xu family who had been famous for a long time were.

Sure enough, the rumors were true, and I saw Zhu Qiaoqiao, who was wearing a snow-white fox fur, a dazzling white fox hat, a white fox collar around his neck, and two white jade pieces under his armpits.

Wrapped in fur, he can't hide his slender figure, his snow-white body is particularly set against the pink face with spring, the willow leaves bend his eyebrows and a pair of phoenix eyes, and he smiles slightly.

Someone immediately said excitedly: "That is the Xu family's shrewd and capable grandmother, I didn't expect it to be such a peugeot and gentle beauty, where is the rumor-like language pungent and ruthless?" ”

Then there is a pearl head, foggy sideburns, double pupils cut water and light sweeping moth eyebrows, cherry mouth is not dotted and red, delicate and beautiful, two strands of hair on the cheeks gently blow with the wind, adding a bit of seductive style, delicate skin like snow, exquisite facial features.

Mu Ningxue is wearing a plain white light color ink bamboo long skirt today, covered with a hundred butterflies and wearing a shoulder-length gown with sapphire blue thread, covered with a pure white crane feather coat, the shoulders are like a knife to cut the waist and not a hand, the beautiful eyes are looking forward to the glory and brilliance, a smile and a smile are moving, no less than a fairy!

As a result, all the disciples were lost and depressed, but unfortunately in a blink of an eye, the two unattainable beauties were surrounded by a group of pretty girls who were like flowers and jade and went into the inner house.

The rumors immediately broke themselves, with such a fairy-like wife and many beautiful maids, does Xu Hao still need to worry about the aunt of the? Joke!

Jokes? God knows. (To be continued......)
