Kong Rong was a great Confucian in the Three Kingdoms period. When he was a child, the story of "Kong Rong let pears" is well known. However, because of his proposition that "parents have no gratitude", Cao Cao considered him unfilial and took the opportunity to kill him.
The virtues of loyalty and filial piety were admired in ancient China. Therefore, in the Han dynasty there was a system of selecting talents called the "chaju system". As long as the recommended person is particularly filial, then no matter whether he has the ability to govern the world or not, he can be recommended as "filial piety" to the court. Be an official.
Kong Rong is the twentieth grandson of Kong Shengren. At the age of thirteen, his father Kong Zhou passed away. He was overwhelmed with grief and needed human support to stand up. He was praised by the world for his filial piety.
When Kong Rong grew up, he was arrogant and determined to save the world from danger. However, because of his rough skills and lack of thought, he did not have much success in governing the country. After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he successively served as the Northern Army Zhonghou, Hubenzhong Langjun, and Beihai Xiang, then known as Kong Beihai, and later also led the Qingzhou Provincial Governor. After Cao Cao "took the emperor and commanded the princes", he was enlisted by the court to be a master craftsman, moved to Shaofu, and served as Taizhong doctor.
He is a good guest, likes to criticize current affairs, and his words are fierce. Therefore, he often angers the governor Cao Cao. He once played the court and believed that the ancient system should be followed, and no vassals should be granted within a thousand miles. Cao Cao suspected that he knew his mind, so he was even more afraid of him. However, at that time, Kong Rong was so famous that Cao Cao had no choice but to tolerate him on the surface, but secretly tried to put him to death.
Finally, after hearing that Kong Rong and others explained that "parents and children have no graciousness", Cao Cao instructed his officials to "recruit together disciples", "desire to be unruly" and "slander the court." Kong Rong was put to death on charges of "non-compliance with Chaoyi", and the three clans were condemned.
Kong Rong: When the father is to the son, what kind of relationship is there? In terms of its original intention, it is actually lust. If the son is to the mother, is it also ridiculous? For example, if you send something in a bottle, you leave it out. The meaning of the sentence
is, what kind of kindness does the father have to the child? The original intention is because of lust; the child is like sending something in a bottle to the mother, after sending it out, there is no involvement. This statement of
sounds very unfilial at first, but in fact it is not the case at all. Kong Rong put forward this argument to refute foolish filial piety, not to advocate or promote filial piety, but to provide Cao Cao with an excuse to kill him. That's it.
