His name was Gui, and he was born Huan Gong. Zhuang Jiang thought it was his own son. The public is in the state, and the people are in the state. If you are fond of good soldiers, you are forbidden. Zhuang Jiang is very annoying. Ding Wei remonstrated, saying, "I smell my beloved son and teach him good and evil. Arrogance, extravagance, lewdness and indulgence are also self-evils. When these four men came, they spoiled Lu. Decided that the country will be established; If it is still there, it will be a curse. " It is rare for a husband to spoil without arrogance, arrogant without falling, but without regret. "Those who regret but can mourn. What's more, a husband's meanness hinders your dignity, and a young man's tomb is long, and he is far from kissing. The new is old, the small is expanded, and the righteousness is ruined. The so-called six inversions are also. Yi Jun, minister's character, father's kindness, son's filial piety, brother's love and brother's respect, this is the so-called Six Shun.

Translation of works?
Wei Zhuanggong married Zhuang Jiang, the sister of the King of Qi. Zhuang Jiang is beautiful, but she has no children. Wei ren gave her a poem called Shuo Ren. Later, Wei Zhuanggong married a Chen woman named Li Gui. Gui Li gave birth to Xiao Bo, who died early. Li Gui's sister Dai Gui gave birth to Wei Huangong, and Zhuang Jiang took Wei Huangong as his son. Childe Zhou Xu is the son of Zhuang Gong's favorite concubine. He is deeply loved by Zhuang Gong, who likes to hurt people with weapons, but Zhuang Gong does not forbid it. Zhuang Qiang hates him. Dr. Shi Jie advised Zhuang Gong, "I heard that you love children, so you should teach them the right way and don't lead them astray. Arrogance, luxury, fornication and indulgence are the roots of evil. The appearance of these four bad habits is an excessive favor and gift to him. If you want Zhou Xu to be a prince, make sure; If you can't decide, it will lead to disaster. It is rare for people to spoil but not be arrogant, to be arrogant but to restrain, to restrain without complaining, and to complain without evil. In addition, meanness hinders nobility, young people bully the old and alienate the close, new people sow discord among the old, and people with low status oppress people with high status, and promiscuity destroys manners. These are six things that deviate from the truth. The monarch acts fairly and decently, the officials obey orders, the father loves the son, the son is filial to the father, the younger brother loves the younger brother, and the younger brother respects the younger brother. These are six things that people often say. Deviating from what is reasonable and imitating what is unreasonable will soon lead to disaster. As a monarch who rules the people, he should try his best to get rid of evil, but now he is accelerating the arrival of evil. This is probably impossible? " Wei Zhuanggong wouldn't listen to advice. Ding Wei's son Shi Hou is in contact with Zhou Xu. Shi Jie is forbidden, but he can't stop it. When he became the monarch of Wei Huangong, Shijie retired.
In the spring of four years in Lu Yingong, Wei killed Wei Huangong and became king on his own.
Zhou Xu couldn't settle people's hearts and defend the country, so Shi Hou asked Ding Wei how to settle the throne. Shijie said, "If you can appear before the Emperor of Zhou, your throne will be stable." Stone; "How can I appear in front of the emperor of Zhou?" Ding Wei replied: "Now he is favored by Zhou, and his relationship with Weiguo is also very harmonious. If you go to court and ask him to intercede for Zhou, you can do it. " I went to Chensuizhou with Xu. Ding Wei sent someone to tell Chen Guo; "Weiguo is a small place. I am old and have nothing to do. Those two people who came here are the killers of our monarch. Please take the opportunity to try to deal with them. " Chen Guoren took Zhou Xu and Shi Hou to Weiguo to have them dealt with. In September this year, Guo Wei sent Right Jae Ug to Dipu to assassinate Zhou Xu. Shijie drove his coward to the front and killed Shi Hou in the state of Chen.
The gentleman said; "Ding Wei is really a giant of pure integrity. He hated Zhou Xu and killed Shi Hou. " That's probably what "putting righteousness above family ties" means! "
works appreciation
There is an old saying; "Tiger poison doesn't eat children." This means that although tigers are fierce and disabled, they still have to abide by family boundaries; Cruelty is external. As for his own flesh and blood, he treats them well and can't turn them into a meal in the belly. It's animal nature to love tigers, so there's nothing to say. For people, people should do things according to their nature, and affection is human nature. The affection between parents and children is a natural law. What kind of parents in the world don't love their own flesh and blood? If humanity also exists, the affection between parents and children should belong to humanity; If human nature is eternal, so is this kind of affection. Otherwise, it is the loss of humanity and conscience, so we should not call it "human" any more.
On the other hand, as a thoughtful and rational existence beyond animal instinct, human beings can't act entirely by nature, nature and instinct; You must obey social laws. The law of moral ethics, the law of reason. The laws of nature must obey the laws of society, morality and reason. Without this aspect, people are no different from other animals.
In this way, nature and its laws often conflict with social, moral and rational laws, and are often inevitable; What must be faced and choices must be made. The so-called "putting righteousness above family members" is the embodiment of this conflict and the result of choosing to let nature obey social, moral and rational laws.
To do this, we must have a high degree of revolutionary consciousness and revolutionary consciousness; We should have high moral cultivation and strong rational power. It is difficult for ordinary people to do it, otherwise it is not a noble virtue worthy of praise. It is difficult for most people to give up their blood relationship and get rid of the powerful ties of nature, and they are often more willing to let social, moral and rational laws yield to nature and its laws. In this way, people like Shi Jie are different, great and noble, and admirable.
However, it is one thing to put justice above family loyalty. Although it is respectable, we should also pay attention to that "righteousness". In other words, what "righteousness" represents is worth people dying for. In ancient times, I killed my father, my son killed my father, and my wife harmed my husband, which was a "big rebellion." The monarch is the son of heaven, which embodies God's will and divine will, and is the original parents of the people. How can he offend or even kill people at will? This crime is bigger than killing your own biological parents, which is really "heinous". In this case, it is natural and just to destroy one's loved ones, which can be praised.
The content of "righteousness" itself is constantly changing with the changes of times and concepts. The past was just, but today is not necessarily just. We always stand in today's position to decide the choice of "righteousness" and make choices in action.
