章 841: Before the Reform

In the capital, the case of a third-rank official being forced by his parents to commit suicide by hitting his head against the wall had shaken the entire court.

This was already the second instance. For such a high-ranking official of the Imperial court, he had been forced into a corner by "filial piety."

As a result, the Imperial court had a dispute over whether the "law of filial piety" was reasonable or not!

Some people suggested that although this "law of filial piety" was a system passed down by the ancestors of this dynasty, they relied on this law to allow the people to live in peace.

However, in the long run, this "law of filial piety" exposed its serious drawbacks, causing many grievances and misjudgments. For this, countless filial sons and grandsons had paid with their lives.

Therefore, this "law of filial piety" must be changed!

As for those who were conservative and stubborn, they were seriously protesting the change.
