On the day of the hunt, Wanyan Chuo fished in troubled waters and was rewarded by the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin. Before he could be happy, the sequelae of riding a horse for a long time came. His whole body was weak and weak. The pain caused him to moan and groan all the time. He was bedridden for three days before he recovered. .

After finally being able to get out of bed, the decree from the King of the Kingdom of Jin came again. It turned out that there were too many things to worry about these few days, and Wanyan Chuo had to rest, so he was not in the mood to study at all. Originally, this was not a big deal, but it was not a big deal. Knowing who the talkative sued to the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin, the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin cherished his talent, worried that Wanyan Chuo would waste his studies, so he set a date and planned to send his master to examine him. Wan Yanchuo didn't want to be careless, and didn't care about the effect of cramming, so he took the initiative to review his homework.

At this moment, Wanyan Chuo was sitting idle in the courtyard reviewing his homework, while Wanyan Xu stood aside with great concern, pretending that he was giving Wanyan Chuo instructions on his homework, but actually monitoring Wanyan Chuo's study progress.

Recently, living in Wanyanxu's residence, Wanyan Chuo annoyed Wanyanxu very much, and the clay figurines are still bloody. Anyone who is watched 24 hours a day will not be in a good mood.

After reading a copy of "Book of Filial Piety", Wanyan Chuo felt drowsy and lacked interest. He was reclining on the chair as if he had no bones, holding the book in one hand and dozing openly with his chin in the other. Half an hour had passed. Before turning over a page of the book in his hand, Wanyan Xu was dealing with the affairs of Daxing Mansion, and when he saw this, he just smiled and didn't scold him. , the wise and mighty Governor of Daxing, and His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson are totally different!

Wan Yanxu was writing a note for the Lord of the Jin Kingdom, when he heard the visit of the Lord of the Jin Kingdom, the two brothers were startled, especially Wanyan Chuo, who got up in a hurry, and in the panic, he didn't even have time to tidy up his clothes, his hair was Messy, looks very embarrassed.

As soon as the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin saw him like this, he knew that this kid was stealing and playing tricks again. He was embarrassed to say anything about him in front of everyone, lest the child feel wronged and would not enter the palace to pay his respects for ten days and a half months. Such a thing happened, the King of Jin sent someone to invite him, but Wan Yanchuo still played petty temper and refused to come, making the King of Jin dumbfounded.

"Hulu, how is Mandu's recent homework?"

Naturally, Wanyan Xu would not dismantle Wanyan Chuo's stage. He picked up nice words, such as being smart and eager to learn, being hardworking, and working hard, all of which would almost make Wanyan Chuo a flower. I felt blushed while listening.

"Come on..." The King of the Kingdom of Jin couldn't take it anymore after hearing half of it, and said with a straight face: "I dare you two brothers to come together to deceive me. What kind of temperament are you full of? Do not you know?"

Wanyan Xu repeatedly accused him of crimes, but Wanyan Chuo's face was full of disapproval, secretly slandering, you know your feelings well, so why bother asking?Isn't it just looking for trouble!However, Wanyan Chuo only dared to say this in his heart, to contradict the present day face to face, unless he felt that he was impatient with life!

"Hulu, I know that although you are still young, it's time to learn how to handle government affairs!" The implication was that Wanyan Xu was chosen as the successor to the throne.

In fact, the entire court of the Kingdom of Jin knew that even though Wanyan Xu was the eldest grandson of the emperor, he was the most desirable successor in the hearts of the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin. He had to recuperate from illness once, and the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin had already prepared for the white-haired person to send the black-haired person to him. Now he made an exception and promoted His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson to be the Governor of Daxing, in order to better exercise His Royal Highness's ability to govern. After a hundred years of being the king of the Kingdom of Jin, if nothing else happens, His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor, will probably succeed to the throne smoothly.

"Originally, I let you serve as the Governor of Daxing Mansion, and I also wanted to experience you. It is natural to be able to make some achievements. If the errand fails, it will be fine. I didn't expect you to do the errand well. Although I have lived here for a long time In the palace, I also heard that you ruled well, and the people in Zhongdu praised you very much, it is not bad to have such a great reputation at such a young age, not bad!"

Wan Yanxu had known for a long time that the King of Jin would send his cronies to inspect his achievements, so he was not surprised at the moment.

The Lord of the Kingdom of Jin asked a few more questions about the affairs of the DPRK and China, and Wan Yanxu answered them fluently, and he was able to put forward his own unique insights, which made the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin very pleased. noon.

Wanyan Chuo acted as a human flesh background board throughout the whole process, listening to the training in a well-behaved manner.

It just so happened that at this time, Wanyan Xu talked about the typical person who wanted to praise the king of the Kingdom of Jin, and this was also a speculative move after he tried to figure out the holy will, and Wanyan Chuo sneered at it.

It turned out that there was a dutiful son in the outskirts of Zhongdu City. His family was poor, and his mother had no way to bury him after his death. In desperation, the dutiful son gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, sold his only son, and bought some money to bury his mother.

After this incident spread, filial piety became famous for a while. In the simple and simple concept of the ancients, great filial piety is loyalty. Since ancient times, seeking loyal ministers must be at the door of filial piety. The idea of ​​selling filial piety like this is very respected and appreciated .

Sure enough, the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin was very moved when he heard about it, and immediately wanted to reward the filial son vigorously, and even ordered his servants to send food and cloth to the filial son. I will say more, the key is that later on, the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin didn't know what was wrong, but he still wanted to make his filial son an official.

This is fucking embarrassing!

After hearing this, Wanyan Chuo didn't take it seriously. In fact, he was so disgusted that he almost vomited. There was a surge of anger in his heart, and he couldn't vent it out, and he couldn't swallow it, let alone how uncomfortable it was.

Nowadays, people all over the world say that this man who is unkind to his father is a filial son, but who would have imagined how that innocent child who was sold would feel at this moment?

"Mandu, what's wrong?"

Wanyan Chuo is a child after all, he can't hide the emotion on his face at all, and he doesn't bother to hide it: "If you go back to the emperor's grandfather, my grandson just thinks it's inappropriate to be an official."

"Oh? What do you think?" Although Yan Chuo is still young now, he is smart and quick-witted. Will blame his childish language.

"Dare to ask Grandpa Huang, it is true that this man is a dutiful son, but what credit does he have?" Wanyan Chuo snorted coldly, and mocked unceremoniously: "Selling a son for money can also be called credit? Grandpa, please think about it carefully. Looking at the actions of this filial son, at best he is simple, but at worst, this man lives a muddled and confused life. It can be seen that he will not be an official at all. Once the emperor made great efforts to govern, the prosperity was peaceful, and the common people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and rarely worried about their livelihood. It was not a time of famine and war, how could it be possible to suffer from livelihood, and even have no money to buy a thin coffin for the old mother? But there is something else The way out, this so-called filial son will not sell his own son! The ancient sages said that if you don’t sweep a house, how can you sweep the world? This filial son can’t even manage his own small family. people?"

When today's son governs the world with benevolence and filial piety, Wanyan Chuo's words are almost like contradicting them blatantly. Wanyan Xu was frightened when he heard it. The intention is to set up such an example of filial piety, Mandu is so relentless, if he is not careful, he will offend Tianyan, fearing that Wanyan Chuo's misfortune will come out of his mouth and annoy the emperor's grandfather, Wanyanxu hurriedly pulled Wan Yanchuo carefully winked at him, telling him to quickly apologize to the King of Jin.

Who knows, Wanyan Chuo is not afraid of the King of Jin being angry at all, he has always been favored by the King of Jin, he is young and speaks like a child, so it is expected that the King of Jin is not as knowledgeable as him.

Sure enough, the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin was only taken aback when he heard the words, but he did not finish Yan Chuo's punishment.

On the other hand, Wanyan Xu was slightly relieved to see that Grandpa Huang was not angry. Thinking of this, he lowered his head and said seriously: "Mandu, what nonsense are you talking about? The ancient sages said that there is no wrong parent in the world. Are all the books for nothing?"

Wan Yanchuo argued: "Oh, there is no such thing as a perfect parent? Who said that? There is no such sage's words in the Four Books and Five Classics. What's more, when I read the classics and history collections, I only see filial piety to parents, but I have never heard of filial piety to parents! Hulu, can you explain, what is Shun?"

Hulu kept silent, knowing that there was something in Wanyan Chuo's words, he must be setting himself a trap by asking such a question, and he is not Wanyan Chenghui, so he wouldn't fall into the trap so foolishly.

Wan Yanchuo didn't take it seriously, and asked himself and answered: "Hulu, it is obedience to obey what you say, but what if your parents are wrong? Do you still have to be obedient? Blind obedience is not filial piety. Aiding the wicked is cruel! The most holy teacher, the sage Confucius, once said, repay grievances with straightness, and repay virtue with kindness! Since the father is not kind, then don’t blame the son for being unfilial. Everything has cause and effect, and the law of heaven recurs. What’s so strange about it!”

sophistry!It's all sophistry, but there are no loopholes in these words. Wanyan Xu knew that he couldn't show the courage of his words with Wanyan Chuo, so he could only argue from another angle, saying: "Mandu, being an official is nothing more than In order to show the grace and power of the Heavenly Family, it doesn’t matter even if this person doesn’t become an official? It’s not an exaggeration to arrange a job for him with a white-collar salary as a reward, right?”

Wan Yanchuo still shook his head, and said very seriously: "Hulu, you are wrong, the title cannot be used indiscriminately! Otherwise, the hearts of the soldiers who guarded the Tuwei Kingdom on the border and fought bloody for our Dajin Kingdom may be chilled. Money for burial is already unfilial. Selling children for money is justifiable as an act of filial piety, but it is an act of unkindness after all. If such unkind and unfilial people can become officials, how do you let the people of the world think about it? Are you trying to emulate? You know, opportunism is not the way to be an official, and this bad trend must be curbed in time!"

Wanyan Xu was stunned, not knowing how to answer, Wanyan Chuo was not in a hurry, and continued: ""Lu Shi Chunqiu·Wecha Pian" recorded a short story like "Zigong Redempting People"."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the King of Jin to answer, he easily recited the full text: "The law of the Lu State is that Lu people serve as concubines to the princes, and those who can redeem them will take gold from the mansion. And let it be gold. Confucius said: "Give what is lost!A sage's actions can change customs and customs, and teaching can be applied to the people, not just for oneself.Today in the state of Lu there are few rich people and many poor people. If you take their gold, you will not be harmed. If you don’t take their gold, you will not be able to redeem people. "

Wanyan Xu was enlightened instantly.

"No wonder Mandu is always clamoring to be the generalissimo. Your temperament is quite suitable for leading troops to fight!" King Jin laughed loudly, rubbing Wanyan Chuo's little head, and said with emotion : "That's right, for those who are superior, they are most afraid of not giving favors and powers, and the rewards and punishments are not clear, Hulu, you should keep in mind."

Wanyan Xu saluted meticulously, and said: "I would like to follow the teachings of Grandpa Huang!"

"As for this filial son who has earned a lot of good reputation recently, the rewards should not be less, but the matter of being appointed as an official is all right, the title cannot be abused, let's let it go for now!"

Wan Yanchuo suddenly had an idea, and immediately asked Jin Guoguo to ask for favors: "Grandfather, can grandson ask you for favors?"

The Lord of the Kingdom of Jin was very interested. Wanyan Chuo, as the son of Prince Rong, was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He had never begged for anything from him so seriously when he grew up. As an old man who loves his grandchildren, he naturally I won't say no. "Oh? Let's hear it."

"The child that was sold by the biological father, can the grandson ask for it?" The same person who has fallen in the end of the world, there is no need to know each other when we meet again. The same experience made Wan Yanchuo empathize with him, and suddenly felt some inexplicable sympathy for that child.

"Mandu, do you want to accompany me?"

Wanyan Chuo smiled and didn't speak.

"If you want to accompany the reading, you can choose from various aristocratic families..." The King of the Kingdom of Jin said to himself for a while, seeing Wanyan Chuo's expression of lack of interest, he had to give up: "Forget it, Since you like Mandu, let's do it according to your wishes, Hulu, let you handle this matter, don't let Mandu down."

"Understood, Grandpa Huang." In fact, even if Wanyan Chuo didn't ask for this favor in front of the King of Jin, Wanyan Xu would help him realize his wish, anyway, it was just a personal matter.
