In the capital, the case of a third-rank official who was forced by his so-called parents to commit suicide by hitting a wall caused a great shock to the upper and lower ranks.

     

    For this reason, this led to a dispute in the court over whether the "law of filial piety" was reasonable!

    Some people suggested that this "law of filial piety", although it is an ancestral system passed down by the ancestors of the dynasty, the ancestors also relied on "governing the world with filial piety", the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and it has won the praise of people in the world.

    However, in the long run, this "law of filial piety" has exposed serious drawbacks, resulting in many grievances and wrongful cases. For this reason, there are countless filial sons and grandsons who have lost their lives.

    Therefore, this "law of filial piety" must be reformed!

    As for the conservative diehards, it is a serious protest against the reform of the "law of filial piety".

    They said, "Since the ancestors can rely on the 'law of filial piety' to bring about the stability of the country, then it can be the same now. Just a few examples, just give me the ancestral system!"

    In short, the mother said that the mother was right, and the father said that the public was reasonable, but the two sides could not argue.

    The emperor, sitting high on the dragon chair, looked dignified and stared sharply at their dispute.

     

    Because they all know, the emperor is angry.

    The emperor sat high, looking down at the princes, grandsons and ministers below.

    Then, the emperor seemed to ask casually, "Yuer, Yeer, Honger, what are your opinions? Should this 'law of filial piety' be changed or not?"

    The people called "Yuer", "Yeer" and "Honger" by the emperor are Prince Yuwen Yanyu, the third prince Yuwen Feiye, and the emperor's eldest grandson Yuwen Xuhong.

    As we all know, these three are the most powerful contenders for the throne.

    Prince Yan Yu is the eldest son of the current Queen Chen Wanyue.

    The third prince Yuwen Feiye is the son of the imperial concubine Zhou Wenya.

    Emperor Sun Yuwen Xuhong is the direct descendant of the former prince. If the former queen and former prince do not die of illness, then this throne should be inherited by him.

    However, things are predictable...

    Now the sage asks them such a question at the same time. Everyone knows that this is the question that the sage uses to evaluate the ability and vision of the princes and grandsons.

    For a time, the atmosphere was quiet, a little frozen, and you could hear each other's breathing.

    The eyes of the three princes and grandsons are thoughtful, serious, sharp and each with a trace of challenge.

    At this moment, Yuwen Feiye said impatiently, "Father, my son thinks it is inappropriate to change!"

    The emperor's face was expressionless, but he asked with a faint "Oh", "Why?"

    Yuwen Feiye explained, "My father and son believe that this is an ancestral system after all. The ancestors moved the world with 'filial piety' and won the world. The country's peace in the world, the prosperity of the country and the people's safety, these are the impressive achievements brought by 'filial piety'.

    On the basis of a few special examples, should the ancestral system be ignored? This is a great disrespect to the ancestors! "

     

    The emperor did not nod or deny, but just called the prince by name and said, "Yu'er, what do you think?"

    Yu Wenyanyu heard the name being called, thought for a while, and said very seriously, "My son believes that although my dynasty adheres to the ancestral system of 'governing the country with filial piety' to stabilize the people's hearts and formulate national laws Law - 'the law of filial piety', let the people of the world imitate their ancestors, respect the old and love the young, and respect their parents!

    However, any law has flaws and loopholes, and this "law of filial piety" is no exception! "

    Hearing this, everyone understands that the prince's opinion is at odds with that of the third prince, Yuwen Feiye.

     

    Yu Wenyan Yu went on to say, "This 'law of filial piety' is not bad, it is adopting, selling, abandoning, cutting off relatives and other children, and still having to honor the biological parents, which has led to some biological parents. Parents breed greed.

    Whether they are poor and whether they can afford to support these children is another matter. However, except for the birth of these children, they did not pay any effort and property. When these children grow up, no matter whether they have no wealth or not , these parents ask for it, but if they don't, they use 'unfilial piety' to force them to fulfill their maintenance obligations, which at the same time causes those children to be miserable, but they have nowhere to complain, because their so-called biological parents have the court's gift. In order to avoid death gold medal!

    This will lead to many children being forced to have no choice but to end their relationship with their parents by suicide! "

    His words came here, and immediately caused everyone to talk.

    This time, some people support the prince's remarks, and some people oppose it!

    Most of the officials who support the prince are young officials, and those who oppose it are officials who are already grandfathers.

    "So what?" The emperor asked indifferently again, "What do you think?"

    I couldn't see any of the emperor's happy or angry expressions, Yuwen Yanyu immediately became a little uneasy in his heart, the whole person was tense, he thought carefully and said,

    "Back to the father and the emperor, the sons and ministers believe that the ancestral 'filial piety', we must continue to continue 'filial piety', we still must be filial to our parents, but those who adopt, sell, abandon, break It can be said that relative children have nothing to do with their biological parents, and it seems a little reluctant that they have to fulfill their obligations as children in the future and must be filial to their parents.”

    "So, what do you mean, this law must be abolished or restructured?" The emperor continued to ask with a majestic look.

    The prince groaned in his heart, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "Back to the father and emperor, my son thinks that the 'filial piety' system needs to be changed again! "

    The emperor did not nod or shake his head, but asked Jiang Zhennan, who had been standing at the bottom without saying a word, and asked in a serious voice, "Jiang Aiqing, what do you think?"
