The Twenty-four Filial Piety had been written in ancient times, but as the times progressed, changes would be made to the old filial piety stories.
In the Twenty-four Filial Piety from Xiang Province, there was a story. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Guo Ju. After separating from the family, he took care of his mother and she gave birth to a son. Because the elderly loved their grandchildren, they would give their grandchildren food. Guo Ju saw that his family was already poor, and if his mother gave food to his son, his mother might starve to death. Therefore, Guo Ju prepared to bury his newborn son, but when he was digging a hole, he found a pot of gold and saved his son's life.
The people of Shengyuan respected this story and believed that Guo Ju was filial.
Fang Yun frowned when he saw this.
After thinking for a long time, Fang Yun removed this story and recalled the books he had read over the years. He replaced it with a real story and a new poem.
Therefore, the new Twenty-four Filial Piety lost the story of burying a child and taking care of his mother, and had a new story.
There was nothing special about the new story. It was about a young man in Shu who found it difficult to take care of his mother and wife at the same time after getting married. Therefore, he gave most of his food to his mother and wife and starved himself. Then, he worked hard and was recognized by the owner of the workshop. He received financial aid to study and finally became a scholar, allowing his family to live a good life.
After replacing burying a child and taking care of his mother, Fang Yun thought for a while. He had to find a reason for doing this, or he would be openly making an enemy of the human race.
After thinking for a while, Fang Yun issued an order to prohibit the two provinces from promoting the so-called filial piety of burying a child and taking care of his mother in any form. He also determined that this story was against filial piety, because if Guo Ju's son really died, his mother would be sad and die prematurely. Guo Ju's actions were equivalent to asking his mother to kill his grandson. It was against human morality and could not be publicized.
After dealing with the government affairs, Fang Yun continued to study. The Marshal's Office, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rites were preparing for tomorrow's expedition. At that time, whether it was the Empress Dowager or the king, all the civil and military officials would be there to send them off.
In the early morning of August, a cool breeze blew. The morning sun was less dry and hot than in the summer and more refreshing than in the autumn.
Early in the morning, a large amount of food was transported to the spring garden and Fang Yun put into his seashell.
Fang Yun went to the east of the city first and met up with the barbarian private soldiers stationed near the capital.
Fang Yun's barbarian private army was divided into three groups. The private army in the capital was mainly made up of the old, the young, the sick, and the disabled. The private army in Ning 'an was there to intimidate the local officials. The most elite private army had followed Fang Yun for a long time. Recently, they had been in Baling City and were now heading to Ning' an.
The thousands of private soldiers in the Ten Frigid Ancient Land were mostly stationed in the outskirts of the capital. Most of them were young and old, and there were less than a thousand of them who could travel this time.
These Barbarian Race private soldiers were fully equipped, and their vital parts were all protected by extremely expensive equipment. Their spirit was far stronger than when they were in the Ten Frigid Ancient Land.
When they saw Fang Yun, all the Barbarians knelt down and kowtowed. They had personally witnessed how Fang Yun had become the Master of Ten Frigid Lands, and they were full of admiration for Fang Yun.
Fang Yun turned around and leaped onto the Dragon Horse. He squeezed the horse's belly and circled around the capital city to the northern suburbs. The barbarians either rode on their Flood Dragon Horses or ran after him.
The army of a thousand gave off the aura of an army of ten thousand. Dust flew behind them, and they looked aggressive.
When the soldiers on the city walls of the capital city saw this scene, they bowed silently.
The news of Fang Yun saving soldiers and beating up the old had already spread throughout the army, and everyone praised him.
Fang Yun led the army forward. When he was about to enter the official road in the north of the city, he saw a fleet of carriages marching in front of him.
A Flood Dragon Horse was in the middle of the fleet, and there were demon cavalry on both sides. At the same time, there was a Horse Barbarian Marquis and four Horse Barbarian Marshals guarding the carriage.
The Horse Barbarian Race had the upper body of a human, but the head and waist of a horse. They were famous for being good at running.
When the Horse Barbarian Marquis saw Fang Yun, his face was filled with anger. He shouted and shouted, "Left Prime Minister's Fleet, all unrelated people, back off!"
"How dare you!" Fang Yun shouted. An invisible force gathered, and the Qi of heaven and earth smashed towards the Horse Barbarian Marquis like a heavy hammer.
Fang Yun was already a peak Grand Scholar. Even if he directly controlled the Qi of heaven and earth, he could still severely injure the Horse Barbarian Marquis.
The humans around the Horse Barbarian Marquis were shocked. They did not expect Fang Yun to act so quickly. He was far more domineering than before.
At this time, an old voice came from the luxurious carriage.
"Fang Xusheng, why bother with a private soldier?"
An invisible force surged and dissolved the Qi of heaven and earth that was rushing towards the Horse Barbarian Marquis.
The Horse Barbarian Marquis smiled coldly and did not speak anymore.
The rest of the Demon Cavalry stopped and saluted in the direction of the Demon Cavalry.
Fang Yun slowed down and held the reins in his hand as he slowly moved forward.
The sound of the horse hooves on the ground was clear and crisp.
"It is said that there are seven ranks in front of the Prime Minister's door. This private soldier offended Xusheng, but you did not punish him. It seems like he is a second rank official. He can enter the cabinet!" Fang Yun said.
The curtain opened, revealing Mount Liu's smiling face.
"Fang Xusheng, you are wrong. Ma Hou is dedicated to protecting the Old Man. No matter who it is, he will do the same. After all, you are leading thousands of barbarians here. Even the Old Man has to be careful. " Mount Liu smiled. He was very different from the Left Prime Minister of the imperial court. He was more like an amiable old man.
"It seems that Prime Minister Liu has done too many bad things, so he has to be careful at all times." Fang Yun said.
Mount Liu smiled and said: "After all, the Old Man was attacked before. It was only because of the Sect Saint that he was able to escape. Fang Xusheng, if you don't mind, you can go with me to the military field. "
Fang Yun snorted and continued to move forward on the official road. Mount Liu's convoy also moved forward.
Back then, Fang Yun was almost killed by the Demon Emperor. Mount Liu took the opportunity to seize power. The righteous people of various countries gathered to kill Mount Liu. However, Mount Liu exposed his identity as a Dao Protector and used the Sect Saint's power to capture everyone. Fang Yun later returned and released those people.
Mount Liu leaned against the window and looked into the distance. His expression was indifferent. He said slowly: "Fang Xusheng, the barbarians are invading. Soon, Ning An, Yuyang Pass, and the capital will fall one after another. Retreating to the Yangtze River is the right way. If you insist on resisting, you will gain a good reputation. However, it will be a pity for the thousands of Jingguo soldiers. This Jingguo is on the verge of collapse. I think you should seek refuge with a better ruler and step onto the Divine Path. To you, this Jingguo is a burden. "
"That's not what Xiang Liu said in the Imperial Court," Fang Yun said.
Liu Shan smiled and said, "How can high-sounding words be compared to the words from the bottom of my heart? Fang Xusheng … "
The smile on Mount Liu's face suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a serious expression. He said: "The Path of the Sect Saint is vast and righteous. Thanks to the fall of literature, there is hope for the Quasi-saint. When the Era of Emperors begins, the human race will regain the prosperity of the Hundred Schools of Thought. The Sect Saint will be like the reincarnation of Confucius, suppressing the world and allowing the human race to regain a thousand years of peace. "
"I didn't know that Xiang Liu was so good at bragging," Fang Yun said with a smile.
Mount Liu's face darkened. He said: "Fang Xusheng, Old Man's good intentions, don't treat it as ill intent. The rest of the Saints of the human race are either old or roaming the world. Some have no interest in achievements, some only want to protect themselves, and some … are struggling at death's door! Only my teacher is determined to forge ahead and point at the Quasi-saint. He is the master of resurgence, far better than Dong Zhongshu! If you abandon the darkness and seek refuge under my teacher's name, if you want Jingguo, Jingguo will be yours. If you want Gyeongo, Gyeongo will also be yours. Soon, you will be able to inherit my teacher's mantle and sit in the Temple of All Saints. You will be revered by the people and your holy name will never fall! "
