Reason:
For the sake of inner self-security and conforming to public opinion, he had to kill his son to set the record straight and show righteousness.
Revelation:
For the benefit of the country and the people, even at the expense of their own families. Parents spoil their children, from breaking up families to causing national unrest. Educating children is like touching the dragon and saying that Queen Zhao said that parents' beloved son has far-reaching influence!
Far-reaching is to guide him to the right path, not to spoil him too much, leading him to be extravagant and indulgent, but to educate him to do something reasonable, such as the monarch acting properly, the courtiers obeying orders, parents loving their children, children filial to their parents, brothers loving their younger brothers, and younger brothers loving their older brothers.
Shi Jie's righteousness and injustice;
Wei Zhuanggong loves me, love my dog, because he loves Zhou Xu's mother, so he indulges his youngest son, Zhou Xu, which makes Zhou Xu develop a headstrong character, do whatever he wants, don't respect his elders and have no fear in his heart. Finally, after his father died, he killed his generous and weak brother Wei Huangong and usurped the throne. This is the result of Wei Zhuanggong conniving at Zhou Xu.
The Historical Background and Political Motivation of "Deserve the Righteousness of Family";
Background of the times:
Chiyou in Zhou Xu occurred in 7 19 BC, which is 5 1 year after Zhou Pingwang's death. The demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty lasted only half a century.
At this time, it was under the banner of the Zhou royal family that the inheritance of hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period began. Qi Huangong, who later became the master, will be born soon.
It can be said that this is an era of bad rituals and bad music, and the situation of regicide usurping the throne among countries is becoming more and more serious. Before Qi Huangong's rule, the governors of the Central Plains were in a period of very chaotic struggle for a long time.
Political motivation of valuing righteousness over profit;
Because killing is not the wish of ministers such as Ding Wei, but also the wish of the whole interest group such as Zhou royal family. Therefore, experienced Shi Jie knows what he should do. If Shi Jie doesn't want Wei and Zhou royal families to have bad blood with Chen, he will be suspected by the alliance. Killing Zhou Xu's diehard supporter Shi Hou is the best choice.
Because it was killed by the Zhou royal family through the state of Chen, if it was not killed, then as a supporter, it would leave unstable factors for the country. Once Ding Wei is dead, there is a certain chance to fall to Zheng and destroy the overall situation of the anti-Zheng alliance. In fact, whether this possibility is great or not, as long as it exists, it is a big problem.
