Whether in ancient times or in modern society, ethics and morality are a kind of norm that restricts people's behavior. Everyone in society has both self-requirements and is governed and constrained by the politics, laws, and ethics of society, and everyone needs to have moral self-conscious norms.
Especially in the feudal society of ancient China, ethical guidelines were always the norms that everyone had to abide by. At that time, in order to maintain the hierarchical system of society and its privileges, the ruling class, with the help of various rituals, further strengthened the regulating function of morality in society, even to a strict extent. However, the ruling class or those with power are free to set moral standards and even trample on social morality. Therefore, among the ruling class, there is often a phenomenon of violating human morality.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, the development of feudal etiquette entered a period of prosperity, and the Gangchang famous religion represented by the "Three Programs and Five Constants" was formed. However, at that time, the backwardness and decay of the ruling class and the disregard for ethics and morality were also common. There was once a rebel general during the Southern Song Dynasty who coveted the beauty of his own daughter and forcibly adopted her as his concubine, and even in order to escape people's criticism, he even forced his wife to admit that her daughter was not his own. Such an act can be said to be the indignation of people and gods, and it has been scolded by everyone, so who is he?
This person was the Southern Song Dynasty rebel general, Kong Yanzhou. In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were serious contradictions within the ruling class and government institutions were corrupt. At the same time, there are golden countries looking at the outside world, internal and external troubles, and the people are miserable. Under such a chaotic social background, Kong Yanzhou embarked on a crooked road.
At that time, Kong Yanzhou was a well-known local scoundrel, often doing some bad things that bullied men and women and bullied the weak. Kong Yanzhou, who had no royal law, even regarded human life as grass and killed innocent people at will. In this way, Kong Yanzhou began to become a thief. In the first year of Jing Kang, wars broke out frequently, peasant uprisings in various places continued, and bandits and thieves also took advantage of the chaos to maim the people.
To this end, the Northern Song court dispatched a large number of troops to suppress it. It was also during this period that Kong Yanzhou was recruited by the Song army and became a member of the Song army. Kong Yanzhou, who was born as a thief, did not have any ability, and was recruited by the Song Army, just to save his life, so he was not reused.
Due to the frequent occurrence of wars, Kong Yanzhou also had the opportunity to lead his army to fight foreign enemies. However, as a military general in the army, Kong Yanzhou did not think about how to repel foreign enemies, recover lost land, and make meritorious achievements, but only cared about his own interests. In Kong Yanzhou's eyes, the feelings of family and country are worthless in the face of personal social status and living conditions.
Therefore, it is always his men who charge on the battlefield with the heart of the country's survival of the heroic warriors, and he is responsible for the achievements. In this way, Kong Yanzhou went from a military attaché to the jurisdiction of the terracotta army of the Jingdong-Donglu Road. During his tenure, Kong Yanzhou also took advantage of his position many times to seek private interests for himself. And this so-called terracotta army, in the face of foreign enemies, does not have any ability to command operations.
Later, the Jin army hit Shandong, and Kong Yanzhou saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly fled with his army, without any resistance at all. But for the unarmed people, Kong Yanzhou was not soft. In the process of fleeing south, Kong Yanzhou led his subordinates to rob the people of their belongings everywhere, forcibly occupy women, and do no evil.
When the Southern Song Dynasty faced a crisis in which the Jin army fell, Kong Yanzhou, as a Song general, chose to defect and surrender to the Jin State, becoming a general of the Jin State. But even after becoming a general of the Jin Army, Kong Yanzhou could not change his nature. Because of his fighting with the Jin Army, Kong Yanzhou can also be regarded as a meritorious achievement, so his position is getting higher and higher.
After gradually taking power, Kong Yanzhou became even more unscrupulous. As long as it is within his sphere of influence, it is oppressed by him. At the same time, the lustful Kong Yanzhou went around abusing women to satisfy his lustful desires. What is even more heinous is that he does not even spare his own daughter and wants to take her as a concubine.
For such a request, Kong Yanzhou's wife was of course strongly opposed, but this did not stop Kong Yanzhou's animal desire. As a general, Kong Yanzhou still cared about his reputation, so he came up with a "perfect" way to get his wife to admit that his daughter was not born to the two. His wife naturally disagreed, so Kong Yanzhou cruelly sent his wife to the military camp and let her suffer humiliation. In the end, the wife was humiliated and forced to admit that the daughter was not her own.
Kong Yanzhou, who had fulfilled his wish, was very happy and married his daughter. However, his beastly behavior of covering his ears and stealing bells was naturally reviled by the world. But fortunately, the evil man has a bad retribution, kong Yanzhou was killed by the drunken Yan Liang in the process of drinking with Yan Liang. But it is worth mentioning that Guan Yanliang is also an absurd and lustful, cruel and arrogant monarch.
