China has always adhered to filial piety first, and filial piety, as the most important item in Chinese etiquette, occupies a pivotal position in China's thousand-year-old culture.
A man can kill and set fire to the most evil, but if he is a filial piety, it can greatly alleviate people's moral condemnation of him.
However, there was such an emperor in Chinese history, and not long after his father's death, he not only did not guard the funeral with filial piety for his father, but also spat in front of his father's grave, and immediately favored the concubine of the old emperor after succeeding to the throne.
His behavior of ten thousand years of stench made him quickly drown in the long river of history, not only squandering the country and mountains that his father guarded for him, but also achieving another ancient Ming Jun.
Strict father out of filial piety? The consequences of harsh education
Since the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the world has been in turmoil. The land of China is bounded by north and south, and the river is ruled by river. By the Time of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, political ills had seriously affected social development: corrupt officials were rampant, and the people were not happy.
After Emperor Yuwen Yong of Zhou ascended the throne, he implemented a series of reform measures: the implementation of the equalization system, the development of the prefectural military system, the rectification of the administration of officials, and the improvement of people's livelihood, so that the economy of Northern Zhou, which was still surviving, had a slight improvement.
Yuwen Yong was a good politically enlightened emperor, and he hoped to strengthen the Northern Zhou state and multiply it for generations. In addition to his efforts to govern the country, he also attached great importance to the cultivation of the crown prince.
The Yuwen clan belonged to the Xianbei clan, and the Sinicization was not serious at that time, so the Xianbei people were fierce. Yuwen Yong advocated rule by force, and he believed that filial piety was produced under the stick, so he was also very strict about the education of his son, and he beat and scolded the stick if he made the slightest mistake.
He often pointed at Yuwen Yun's nose and said, "I'm not just your son, it's not easy for you to see how difficult it is for someone else's crown prince to be an emperor!" If you don't know what mistakes you make, your status will be insecure, so you can't learn from others?
Since Yuwen Yun was made crown prince at the age of 13, his father arranged for him to study political affairs with the ministers day and night, and the daily schedule was very full, and there was almost no time to rest. Under this high-intensity learning pressure, he also suffered constant scolding and belittling from his father, and even threatened to replace him at every turn.
Although Yuwen Yun was superficially very obedient to his father, he was obedient and strict. But behind the scenes, he hated politics and coveted pleasure. Sometimes he was forced by his father to be really helpless, so he secretly ran outside the palace to drink.
When his father learned of his penchant for drinking, he ordered that no one should be allowed to send alcohol, food and liquor-related items to the Womb.
In addition, he sent someone to monitor his every move. However, Yuwen Yong's high-pressure education did not educate Yuwen Yun to become a virtuous king, on the contrary, Yuwen Yun became more and more muddy and unable to support the wall.
Restraint without self-control can turn into doubling down on indulgence
Yuwen Yun lived under his father's high-pressure education for six years, and finally his father fell ill and died on the way to the battle, and the 13-year-old Yuwen Yun ascended the throne!
Like a bird released from a cage in captivity, Yuwen Yun suddenly changed from a prisoner who could do nothing to a lord of a country, with everything in the world, and he could get whatever he wanted! This contrast made Yuwen Yun crazy.
According to the ceremonial system, he should first observe filial piety for his father and emperor for about a month before he can celebrate his enthronement ceremony.
But Yuwen Yun did something that stunned everyone all over the world: when he worshipped his father, he quietly spat in front of the grave to express his hatred for his father.
Then he went home and immediately took off his filial piety to celebrate his ascension to the throne, and then included his father's concubines, his stepmothers, into his name, which was not enough for him to start a nationwide selection of concubines. Good boy, you're on a graveyard.
The ethnic minorities during the Southern and Northern Dynasties had a more barbaric, but unwritten, custom that the father's wife and son could inherit. The elder brother's wife, the younger brother can inherit.
This custom seems very strange to the Han Chinese, but it is very common in ethnic minorities, because ethnic minorities often nomadic and migrate, and their survival is always facing unknown dangers. A woman who marries more is also for survival, and they even have the custom of robbing marriages.
But not long after his father's death, he collected all his concubines and ate and drank with great fanfare, which was simply outrageous.
What's even crazier is that he ignores the government all day long and indulges in harem beauty. He issued very strict government decrees to expropriate and plunder money, and his courtiers advised him to revise the decrees, but he did not heed the advice, and he also dissuaded his courtiers and his dissimilar courtiers to arrest and punish them at will.
Just as his father sent men to spy on him, he did the same, sending men to spy on his courtiers. The negative impact of his father's education on him is deeply engraved in his heart:
Violence, surveillance, and harsh policies were the ways his father had used to deal with him, and now he was returning them to society.
But his father wanted him to learn the diligence and self-control, but he didn't learn anything. Under the unrecognized high-pressure education, the expectations of educators will definitely be disappointed.
A child who continues to learn beyond his or her own limits, but is unable to seek the approval of the educator, is equivalent to revoking the reward mechanism and increasing the high-pressure mechanism.
The educated will not only lose motivation, but will also go in the opposite direction expected by the educated.
After his father's death, Yuwen Yun indulged himself so wildly that he drank and indulged in lust, so much so that he died violently in the harem within two years of becoming emperor. No one knows whether Yuwen Yun's death was caused by his father or whether he suffered the consequences himself.
Dynasties have fallen, the country has changed masters, and tyrants have achieved an emperor through the ages
Yuwen Yun had not had time to make a difference in his life, and he had already died in gentle township. However, when the Northern Zhou Dynasty was unlucky and the dynasties changed, his tyranny instead achieved another emperor throughout the ages, Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Jian was originally a hereditary duke of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and after his father's death he inherited the title, and Yuwen Yong was promoted during the Yuwen Dynasty, and he betrothed his daughter Xu to Yuwen Yun.
Therefore, when Yuwen Yun ascended the throne, he rewarded his father-in-law with a large number of rewards, and added officials to the knighthood, which also gave Yang Jian the opportunity to strengthen himself.
Yang Jian originally agreed with Yuwen Yong's political concept and supported Yu Wenyong, but he did not expect that his son and his son-in-law would be so faint, not only fainting, but also changing policies in a disorderly manner, and disrupting the political atmosphere that had originally improved somewhat.
Yang Jian looked at Yuwen Yun and was angry, coupled with the gradual consolidation of his own power, after Yuwen Yun's death, the new emperor ascended the throne, Yang Jian directly ordered him to give way, and commanded the army and horses to unify the north and south, and realize the complete unification of the Sui Dynasty.
After Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, he not only continued to implement Yuwen Yong's Juntian Fu Bing and other systems, but also established a three-province and six-ministerial system, lightly dispensing with thin service, and creating an environment for the unity of all nationalities. It can be said that it laid many foundations for the Tang Dynasty to open up the prosperous world, and it can also be regarded as a generation of Ming Emperors.
Unfortunately, he and Yuwen Yong made the same mistake, and the strict education led to his son's excessive indulgence. Before Yang Jian ascended the throne, he knew how to be stoic and tolerant, and Taoguang cultivated obscurity, so he exchanged yuwen Yun, the emperor, to give him the opportunity to change the dynasty.
His son Yang Guang was also very similar to him, pretending to be benevolent and benevolent for the position of crown prince, being patient and restrained, and immediately after becoming emperor, he squandered and indulged, and quickly destroyed the Sui Dynasty.
It is difficult to achieve a generation of Ming monarchs, it requires a thousand bones to dry up, to work hard, a good policy after generations of protection, in order to show a powerful role, but to destroy a dynasty is very easy, only need a self-indulgent king.
Education is a profound science, it is difficult in that you need to discipline the educated, he can learn wisdom from chaos, but at the same time you can not just discipline the other party, the real education is to make people learn to self-discipline.
