Gou in Daming, I was overheard by Zhu Yuanzhang

"Mother, me, what should we do?"

Zhu Yunqi felt that this was an excellent opportunity!

"My son, don't worry. Someone will take care of it. Just wait."

Mrs. Lu is still walking the needle: "If the statue of the master is destroyed, there will be an uproar!"

"When you go to court tomorrow, you must protect your third brother, but you must also put righteousness first, just like you did last time."

"And, the more you defend, the more angry the civil servants may be!"

"Remember, your role in the court is to guide and guide the emotions of the civil servants."

Zhu Yunwen took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

Tomorrow, we must make the best use of the situation and fully mobilize the emotions of the civil servants.

Last time, when the civil servants made such a big noise, His Majesty only conferred Zhu Yunxi to Jiayuguan.

For this reason, I also lost a capable man-Kang Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was demoted to a commoner.

Now, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has just arrived in place. This person belongs to the middle school, and his attitude is ambiguous.

At that time, the reason why everyone impeached Zhu Yunxi was: blindly advocating the supremacy of technology and shaking the foundation of the country.

But to His Majesty, what Zhu Yunxi did was not serious.

Therefore, a massive impeachment ended without a problem and had no major impact on Zhu Yunxi.

But this time, Zhu Yunxi destroyed the statue of the master, which is a serious crime!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunqi couldn't sit still, the days passed too slowly.

The incense burner in the room is curling up, and the burning is much slower than usual.

"My son, have you finished copying the "Da Gao" today?"

"Mother, I'm done copying."

Lu said: "Then copy it again."

……

Fengtian Temple.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang entered the hall, he felt that the ministers seemed to be very excited.

Could it be the result of Sansun's mortar shooting yesterday?
Tie Xuan was on duty in the cabinet today, and first announced the handling plan for several matters.

No one objected, and they all said that they should be implemented separately.

For a while, there was no sound in the hall.

A moment of embarrassment.

The civil servants looked at each other, and finally one stood up: "Your Majesty, minister, I have something to announce."

The one who spoke was Wang Qingxuan, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites.

"If you have something to do, just play it."

Wang Qingxuan suddenly said loudly: "Today, I want to seek justice for the scholars of the world, and justice for the people of the world."

There was silence again in the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Don't make those detours, just say whoever did what!"

"Chen, impeach King Wu today!"

Another impeachment!

Another impeachment of King Wu!

It's endless, right? ?
"Why did you impeach King Wu? What did he do to you?" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was a little displeased.

"Your Majesty, King Wu must be severely punished for insulting sages and Confucianism." Wang Qingxuan said.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little angry when he heard this: "Did you keep impeaching King Wu because he was not around? Didn't you make enough trouble last time?"

Wang Qingxuan was not afraid, he took a step forward and said: "Even if the King of Wu is here, so are the humble ministers. What Wu Zi has done, people and gods are all angry!"

Zhu Yuanzhang jumped up at the table: "Wang Qingxuan, if you fart, let it go, don't you feel bad if you hold it back a little bit?"

Wang Qingxuan said: "King Wu, you destroyed the statue of Master!"

Destroyed the statue of the master?

As soon as this remark came out, the civil servants exploded.

The generals also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Isn't Zhu Yunxi too courageous?

Even dare to destroy the statue of the master?

Every scholar in the world will go to the Confucius Temple to worship.

Not to mention scholars, others, farmers, businessmen and soldiers, whoever saw the portrait of the master are respectful.

Dare to destroy the statue of the master?

Only Yuan people can do it!

After the Yuan people destroyed the Song Dynasty, they brutally suppressed the Han people in a short period of time, destroyed many Confucian temples, and smashed many statues of Confucius.

But later, in order to achieve long-term rule over the Han people, Han Chen had to be reused.

As a result, some Confucian temples were restored to give preferential treatment to the descendants of Confucius.

Kong Kejian, known as "Yan Shenggong", was also named Guozijian Jijiu in the Yuan Dynasty.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't catch a cold with Confucius.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang talked about Confucius' "Analects" with Liu Bowen, the founding hero. Liu Bowen had his own unique views on Confucius.

Liu Bowen believes that Confucius never seriously served as an official in his life, and his "The Analects of Confucius" is just a record of sitting and discussing with his disciples.

Liu Bowen was very skeptical. If Zhao Pu of the Song Dynasty really used half of "The Analects of Confucius" to conquer the world and half of "The Analects of Confucius" to rule the world, wouldn't it mean that everyone can win the world if they memorize "The Analects of Confucius"?It can be seen that Zhao Pu did not tell the truth.

Liu Bowen's words hit Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "That's right, we tried to find the way to govern the country in "The Analects of Confucius", but we couldn't find it."

"Yanshenggong" is the hereditary title of the descendants of Confucius' direct line, and it is given by all dynasties.

Because after the Han Dynasty "only respected Confucianism", the Confucius family received special preferential treatment in all dynasties. As a result, the Yanshenggong Mansion in Qufu, Shandong Province, has become a saint's house that "lived with the country" and "aged in the same sky". "The first family in the world".

And the person named "Yan Shenggong" by the imperial court will become the suzerain of the whole Kong family, and enjoy the scenery and glory. Even the emperor will give him great respect on the surface.

However, this routine was broken in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Not long after Zhu Yuanzhang took the throne, he forced Kong Kejian, the "Yansheng Gong" who was ill, to come to Yingtian to have an audience.

Kong Kejian rushed to Nanjing day and night, and Zhu Yuanzhang met him in Jinshen Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked him how old he was, and Kong Kejian said he was 53 years old.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Qing is still young and has a sick baby. I don't bother you to be an official now, but the descendants of the sages must learn from it. Your son is gentle and kind. It is suitable for him to study morality and practice, so that he can serve as my bosom."

On the same day, I will give Kong Kejian a house, a horse, and twenty stones of rice.

The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang said to his courtiers: "The descendants of the first sages should be gifted with courtesy, and they should be raised with salary instead of doing nothing."

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang never granted any official position to Kong Kejian.

Two years later, that is, in the spring of the third year of Hongwu, Kong Kejian returned home again, but died of illness on the way.

In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly issued an imperial edict that shocked the world. The edict said: "Confucian Temple Spring and Autumn Releases and Memorials will only be held in Qufu, and the world does not need to worship."

Zhu Yuanzhang actually stopped the world from offering sacrifices to Confucius, which made all the scholars feel like a bolt from the blue at that time.

Although this was the imperial decree of the emperor, many ministers disagreed.

Qian Tang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, said in "Fu Que Shang Shu": "Confucius has taught forever, and the world respects his teachings. Therefore, the world can worship Confucius, and the ritual of repaying the original cannot be abolished."

Xu Cheng, the servant, also said: "In ancient and modern ceremonies, Dusheji, the Three Emperors and Confucius were worshiped together. The people of the world cannot live without the Sheji, the Three Emperors, and they cannot stand without the way of Confucius. Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu, and Duke Zhou are all sages, but they developed the principles of the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Principles and recorded them in the scriptures. , the world worships it, not its people, its teachings, and its way. Today, people all over the world read his books, be taught by him, and practice his way, but not worship him. This is not to maintain people's hearts and help the world Teach too."

Zhu Yuanzhang refused to accept what Qian Tang and Xu Cheng said, and he still insisted on going his own way.

In the 11th year of Hongwu, the Jinshen Hall where Zhu Yuanzhang often stayed was struck by lightning.

The civil officials made a big fuss about it, because the day when the lightning struck the Jinshen Hall was the day when the Confucian Temple released the memorial ceremony.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the practice of prohibiting the worship of Confucius was contradictory to what he often said, "ruling the world is based on benevolence and righteousness", so he withdrew his order.

This time, it was a symbolic victory of civil officials and scholars against the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been brooding about this matter.

Who knew that now, Wang Qingxuan actually brought up Confucius again.

The third grandson actually destroyed the portrait of the master!

The third grandson is really our dear third grandson, good third grandson, and understands us!
