The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1999 "Twenty-Four Filial Piety"

Fang Yun didn't pay attention to the old woman's pig-killing cry, but turned to face the seven soldiers.

"Get up!" Fang Yun shouted angrily, and seven soldiers stood up in a hurry. Two soldiers staggered and almost fell, and had to be helped up by the people next to them.

Seven people's legs were numb, but their bodies were straight after standing.

"How can a man who kneels down to the Lord of Heaven and Earth as his own master, kneel down to worship a bunch of stupid men and women? Where is the dignity of our Jingguo soldiers? After returning to the army, everyone's meritorious service will be reduced to a lower level!"

"Yes!" the seven soldiers said in unison.

"I can't hear you!" Fang Yongyong shouted with a louder voice.

"Yes!" seven soldiers roared at the top of their lungs.

At this time, the old man in rich clothes woke up, sat up with difficulty, and said angrily: "Fang Yun, even if you are Xusheng, you should not commit murder on the street!"

"You are only allowed to beat the soldiers, but I am not allowed to beat you? Whose logic?" Fang Yun sneered.

"I'm fighting deserters, not soldiers!"

"I'm beating up idiots and thugs, not old people, and I'm not committing murder!" Fang Yun said.

"You...you use your power to bully others!" The old man was furious.

"What about you?" Fang Yun said nonchalantly.

"you……"

Fang Yun glanced at the old people coldly and said: "If your children and grandchildren are killed in battle, you should get everyone's sympathy, but you use the death of your relatives as a basis for whatever you want. You only see your own grief, and you wish those who were not dead would follow suit." Die! You never know that every soldier who comes back from the battlefield is burdened with the lives and kindness of his comrades. If they have the opportunity, they will not hesitate. Yu died on their behalf! The reason why they did not die was because they had a more important mission! Every soldier who returns from the battlefield can let the court know more about the details of the front line and prepare more carefully for the next battle. "

Fang Yun paused for a moment and continued to scold: "You don't care about the lives of your children and grandchildren. You only care about what you have lost. In your eyes, your dead children and grandchildren are nothing more than lost gold and silver treasures, so you don't care about what your children and grandchildren have done." , What do you want to do? You are here just to vent your anger for losing something. The reason you come here to make a fuss is just to get some benefits. As long as you have a little love for your children and grandchildren in your heart, you will not insult and beat these soldiers who fight alongside your children and grandchildren, nor will you forget how much your children and grandchildren trust them. Not to mention harming these warriors who are likely to die on the battlefield like your children and grandchildren in the near future!"

The seven soldiers still stood upright, with fourteen lines of tears sliding down their faces.

"Liu Shan has taken power, do you dare to surround Liu Mansion? The ministers are incompetent, do you dare to stain the palace with blood? You don't dare! You are a bunch of trash who bully the weak and fear the strong. You just know that your children and grandchildren's comrades will not fight back, so you will take They are venting their anger! You will think that you have made a huge sacrifice by sending your children and grandchildren to fight against the demons, but it is not! Your children and grandchildren are sacrificing, not you; then Those who still sympathize with these soldiers even though their children and grandchildren died in battle are dying, not you! You can do it, you can make trouble, you have the right to scold the court from the king to the officials a thousand times, and you can even point at my Fang Yun’s nose and scold me, this false saint. It’s useless to save the fallen soldiers, but you can’t insult these soldiers! You are experiencing sorrow, while they are experiencing the greatest terror and heaviest mission in the world!”

Not only the seven soldiers were crying, but all the nearby soldiers and generals were secretly wiping away their tears.

Fang Yun looked at those old people with a look of disgust, raised his chin high, and said coldly: "Go away, don't stop us from dying!"

After saying that, Fang Yun walked towards the spring garden, followed by seven soldiers.

Everyone looked at the backs of Fang Yun and the seven soldiers, and their eyes suddenly blurred, as if more and more people were following them, more and more, and in the blink of an eye there were millions of people.

Those people talked, sang, walked, and never looked back.

The old people sat slumped on the ground, at a loss.

"Bah!" an old man watching disdainfully spat and said as he walked, "Fang Xusheng hit you too lightly! If I were me, I would definitely beat you to the point where you have teeth all over the floor!"

"The man who was beaten by Fang Xusheng was a famous gangster in the city thirty years ago. Tsk, tsk, after so many years, he is still so useless. Fighting a small soldier is nothing. He can give Liu Shan a slap in the face!"

"Taking Fang Xu Shengqi to teach him a lesson shows how shameless they are."

"We in Jingguo are short of people like Fang Xusheng! How amazing is this old man? He is old, shameless but not old!"

"The soldiers worked their butts off on the front line, and when they came back, they were so angry. Those who knew about it thought they were just a handful of old people who were ungrateful, and those who didn't know thought that we Jingguo people were all ungrateful old beasts!"

"It's a pity for their children and grandchildren."

"It's a pity! We can't imitate them. Their children and grandchildren are still martyrs and righteous people, and it has nothing to do with them!"

"Yes! Listen to what Fang Xusheng said at the end. You know you are going to die but you still do it. This is what a hero should say!"

"I really don't look down on these people. They can just scold a few words and then beat their children. Who has no parents? Why should you beat them?"

"Let's go, let's get angry just by looking at them."

Everyone left while chatting.

After a long time, these old people who were making trouble all stood up, looked at each other, and slowly dispersed.

An old woman whispered, "I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. You even pissed off Fang Xusheng. Where will we put our old faces in the future?"

The old men disappeared in the autumn rain with dusty faces.

Fang Yun asked someone to treat the seven old soldiers, and he entered the Spring Garden. He used "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" to pass through the Moon Gate to Jiangzhou, explained some things to Yang Yuhuan, and then returned to the study to handle various official duties and pass on books. Tomorrow, he will review the Beijing army, and then go north to Ning'an to rescue Zhang Poyue.

It was August, and the next month would be the Juren exam. Every year, the academies in Xiangzhou recruited students after the Juren exam, and the academies in each state would review the required books and elective books of all academies.

Today, the state academy passed various books to Fang Yun for review.

If it was an ordinary official document, Fang Yun would just take a look and hand it over to the Governor's Office or the state government office for processing, but education is a top priority. If a country has problems with education, it will inevitably lead to major problems in all aspects of the country.

Fang Yun carefully reviewed the books submitted by various academies. When he reviewed the required "Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars", his face suddenly changed.

Most of the "Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars" promote correct filial piety and traditional virtues. For example, even though Shun became the emperor, he still respected his parents. For example, there was a man named Tan Zi, whose parents needed to drink deer milk because they were old, so he pretended to be a fawn to squeeze the milk of a doe.
