When winter goes and spring comes, and the spring breeze blows over Wei State again, the spring in Wei State is flourishing and beautiful.

Today is the official opening day of Weiguo University, and a large number of people gathered in the open space in front of the gate.

Weiguo University is located on the north of Weishan Mountain and the west of the county seat, overlooking Qishan Mountain to the north and Hushan Mountain to the west. There are large tracts of fertile fields nearby, and the wheat is now turning green. The green mountains and clear waters are nature's best decoration. Although it is still a period of national mourning, the mountains and rivers cannot stop us. I wish the university to be evergreen and the wheat to be full of hope.

King Wei arrived in a carriage.

Everyone looked at him. He was the king of Wei. His car was similar to the emperor's. Although during the national mourning period, the car was a little simple, and the people around him were all very plain. Everyone looked at him strangely.

The Empress Dowager has died, and her posthumous title is Daohuang, and there is no plan to change it.

King Wei did two things in Wei: first, he strictly required everyone to observe the mourning system; second, he changed the mourning system of Wei, so much so that even his own mother could not recognize him.

The core is probably convenience first. Only when the living are comfortable can you take care of the dead. If I live well, that is the greatest filial piety. If you don't want me to live well, you are unkind. At the same time, strict enforcement is required. False rules and false benevolence and righteousness that are followed in public but violated in private are worse than not existing at all!

We also cracked down severely on those who were unfilial during their lifetime and made a big fuss afterwards, and those who took advantage of the dead. We investigated quite a lot of them and even dug up some graves.

After doing something like this, everyone has to look to King Wei. What else can he do?

Some people were watching the university hall and trained a group of people to help King Wei wave the flag and shout. King Wei said that living people were more important, and they said it was right! Each of them was brilliant and it sounded like that was the case.

So, everyone knows what the University is doing. It is not just about industry, agriculture, and commerce, but also this.

There are also many civilians here, some of whom strongly support King Wei, while others strongly oppose him.

Everybody was watching, the key point was that the emperor expressed support and connivance, as if as long as the Prince of Wei did it within the scope of the Wei State, it was really his right.

A group of people dressed in mourning came to the front of King Wei's carriage and cried.

Prince Wei got off the carriage, wearing a light blue dragon robe today, which looked like distant mountains and early spring, and was very suitable for him.

He was wearing a pair of boots with dragons on them, which were extremely exquisite. It was a kind of honor to be stepped on by his feet.

A filial son was stepped on as soon as he rushed over.

People around have just confirmed the identity of this family.

This is the He family in Chang County, a famous and prominent family. When an old lady in her eighties died, they planned to hold a grand ceremony, and deliberately made a scene to oppose the King of Wei. The King of Wei made them an example, and their ancestral graves were dug up. The He family had many members, and the filial son was a Jinshi from the two imperial examinations, working as an official, and returned home to mourn. Some people went to complain, but the emperor didn't care.

Unexpectedly, the whole family came here to make trouble again. The filial son and several virtuous grandchildren probably wanted to reason with King Wei.

Several women cursed Prince Wei for being unfilial and cried to the sky.

King Wei gave the order.

The Tiger Guards drew their swords and chopped at him. Of the group of people, only one was left, who was stepped on by the King of Wei.

Many people felt pity for this family, even though ordinary people did not live as well as they did.

The He family is a prominent family with good conditions. Ordinary people live a little better but cannot compare to them.

The filial son was very principled. He pointed at King Wei and showed his determination to die rather than surrender.

There is another group of Confucian scholars supporting it!

King Wei said coldly: "Do you know? The development of history is always bloody. You cancers must be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, how many fools will be harmed! Those people are not living well, but you can win their hearts. Are you going to fight against me? You are still evil!"

The filial son was about fifty years old, dressed in mourning, and looked at King Wei with a pair of sharp eyes, completely unmoved. His pride was suddenly shattered.

King Wei stepped on him and asked, "What is your relationship with the Gu family?"

The filial son replied, "My grandmother's surname is Gu."

King Wei asked, "What is the relationship with the Liu family?"

The filial son replied: "My daughter will marry into the Liu family."

King Wei asked, "What did the Liu family promise you?"

The filial son replied: "He will take charge of the country."

Zhao Feng came over and beheaded him. He actually wanted to be the king of Wei?

Many people were frightened.

King Wei took a quick glance and saw everything clearly. His voice spread over a radius of three miles: "I will say it again, you all listen carefully. Everything I do is for the people. Some old things have long been rotten and smelly, like wounds on the body that have been festering for decades. I am not afraid of being scolded or hurt, I will cut them off one by one! I have the determination and the courage! It is useless for you to resist stubbornly!"

Some people are angry!

Some people are very supportive!

King Wei said, "You know better what kind of life the common people lived before! Some people have gotten used to it and are rotten! The term "pariah" is not appropriate for most people, but for some stupid people, calling you pariah is a compliment! You are rotten, and you can't even be used as fertilizer. You can even poison crops!"

Someone shouted: "That's stupid and bad!"

Some people were busy shouting: "Your Highness is right! Those who are not having a good life themselves want to make others have a hard time too!"

Some people were furious and yelled, "You are all beasts! You are sorry to our ancestors!"

A woman cursed: "Your ancestors just want you to live worse than dogs! Your ancestors are all stupid and evil!"

A village girl proudly shouted: "We are all noble! We can also bring honor to our family!"

Some people did not shout, but spoke in a lower voice to themselves: "Isn't it better to bring honor to the family than to have any grave? Those who are only concerned with building graves have no intention of being good people."

Someone said with an accent from another place: "King Wei is not saying he is not filial, but he is abandoning some empty things so that everyone can be truly filial."

An old lady said excitedly: "If my sons were more filial, they wouldn't have to do anything when I died, they would just bury me. If I wasn't filial when I was alive, who would they be acting for after I die? It's all for themselves."

There is a lot of controversy and people have all sorts of opinions.

When they get emotional, they often quarrel until their faces turn red.

King Wei was calm, his voice suppressing the whole audience: "If the people want to live a better life and the country of Wei wants to develop, then all things must be examined and changed if they are not good! They must be suitable for the current situation! Even if they don't exist, they must be made! Everything is created from nothing. Just like shoes, shoes worn by a one-year-old cannot be worn at the age of three! Shoes worn by a five-year-old cannot be worn at the age of ten. Those who didn't have shoes before will have them in the future! Why can't the people have them? No one's opinion counts!"

Countless people shouted: "Okay!"

King Wei added, "Like a tree, it will grow! The common people are like a tree, growing into a towering tree with luxuriant branches and leaves! Full of vitality, growing into a forest, sheltering us! Those who are stubborn and unreasonable, change yourself! If you don't change, I will help you! Even if it is a piece of stone, I will make it beautiful!"

Countless people cheered: "Good!"
