Great Tang Southern Emperor

Compared to the Yan family, Li Shimin was obviously more annoyed by the Kong family. During the early court today, the Kong family didn't give him any face. Li Shimin had no choice but to act like a hooligan, and almost exploded at that time.

Chapter 707 Traitor Family (1)

Chapter 70 Traitor Family (1)

To say why Li Shimin hates the Kong family so much... In fact, it is not too accurate to say that. To be precise, except for a very few emperors who admired Confucianism very much, almost no ruler in history would have a good impression of the Kong family. It's just that this kind of disgust has to be suppressed in my heart because of the name of Confucius, the most holy teacher, and Confucianism's dominance of the world. It's a typical smile on the surface, but my heart is full of criticism.

The reason is very simple, because no matter who it is, they will not like a family of grasshoppers.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there has never been a dynasty in China that lasted more than 300 years (the Han Dynasty was only more than 400 years combined for the Han Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was the same, the Tang Dynasty was 289 years, and the Qing Dynasty was established after Nurhachi was established in 1616. From the rise to the end of 1911, it was only 295 years, if only counting the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, it was only 276 years).

The supreme throne of the emperor has completely lost its dignity. It has been sat on by the buttocks of different families for thousands of years-of course, it is not that simple to change the buttocks every time. Grabbing the world is not about treating guests to dinner, nor is it buying and selling things. It's a life-and-death war, where people will die, the loser will be thrown into the [-]th hell, and the winner will get the world to sit on the throne-this is the so-called "emperor takes turns, come to my house this year", although the monkey is a little confused, but There is still some truth to what he said.

Since it is a war, it is natural that people will die. In such wars of changing the throne, many families are annihilated or declined, and there are very few rich and powerful families who have been passed down for thousands of years.

But there is a family that sits firmly next to the throne in this bloody storm. No matter who becomes the emperor, the benefits of this family are indispensable. The Han people rule the world, the Jin people rule the world, and the Mongols rule the world. They all need this family to appease the scholars and surpass the emperors. The center of this family is in Qufu, Shandong.

Needless to say, this is naturally the most noble surname in China: Kong surname; the most noble mansion in China: Kongfu.

The founder of this noble surname and noble mansion is Mr. Kong Qiu, and later generations gave him an honorary title, known as Confucius.

It is said that Mr. Kong Qiu was a teacher with high aspirations and low fate in the Spring and Autumn Period.Fortunately, Mr. Kong has three specialties. One is that he can fool, speak well, and can turn the dead into living. With this method, he has recruited many students. Naturally, Shuxiu and bacon are indispensable; Huiji, who is good at turning other people's theories into his own, is much better than the editors of various "Dictionaries" today; the third is black-hearted. If you can't get rid of you, then you will be eliminated physically, so that person named Shaozhengmao has blood mold.

After some people (students) have guns (rights), the mountain will naturally stand up, and the name of the mountain is "Ru".

At that time, the countries in the Spring and Autumn Period fought in a melee, and there are many mountains in the world today. In addition to Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Law, Ming, Bing, Yin and Yang, Zongheng, Zha, Nong, etc., everyone is on an equal footing. I have you in me, the fight is very lively.The person sitting on the emperor's throne is also the expert who came to this mountain for advice today, and the famous person who will try that cottage tomorrow is also very lively.

Gradually, those kings found that the best thing to use is actually Confucianism. With Confucianism, the monarch and his ministers, foolish people and humble subjects, the throne will not fall.So from the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, respecting Confucianism became the only choice for the emperors, and the Confucian village also took advantage of the momentum to flatten other hills, and by the way, put all the valuable things in other hills into their own bowls, and used imperial power It is strictly forbidden to erect new hilltops, and then the era of Confucianism has come.

This Confucianism has flourished, and as the descendants of the first generation of Zhaizhu, the Confucian family has naturally developed accordingly. The center and symbol of the Confucian family—the Confucian family in Qufu is even more remarkable. Give me a three-pointer?

The old Liu family, the Sima family, the old Yang family, and the old Li family did not lack rewards, especially when the old Zhao family was sitting on the throne in the Song Dynasty, they flattered the Kong family and not only made the grandson of Mr. Kong Qiu the Duke of Yan , and also undertook all the construction costs of the magnificent building - Qufu Confucian Mansion, which truly established the Confucian Mansion's status as the number one noble mansion in the world.

Ordinarily, this Confucian family belongs to the orthodox sect of China, and the Confucian stronghold is also the top of China’s hills. Mr. Kong Qiu himself once talked about the “distinction between Hua and Yi”. Are you committed to Huaxia?

No!The descendants of the Confucian Mansion are indeed internationalist fighters. They have taken the overall situation into account many times and cooperated with the barbarians who invaded the Central Plains. They have made outstanding contributions to the great integration of the nation and the unification of China.

Although the old Zhao family was devoted to the Confucian family, the Confucian family did not want to be hanged on a tree. After Zhao Song was beaten to the south by the Wanyan family, the Confucian family immediately sent Kong Duancao to attack Dajin. In the center of the table, the conferred title of Duke Yan——although Jin Yi's milk has a smell, it's still a mother!In this troubled world, it would be nice to have some milk to eat, so why are you so poor?Haven't you seen that others can't even afford grass roots?

"Respectful in residence, respectful in deacons, and loyal to others. Even if you live in barbarians, you must not abandon it." The ancestors of the Kong family said these words to others, and it was the Kong family's turn to say: "I am different, there is nothing to do." There is nothing wrong with it." In fact, it is: whoever gives the bone is the master, regardless of whether he is a human or an animal, as long as he has milk, he is the mother.

Decades later, the Meng Yi rises up and destroys the Jin Yi. Under the leadership of Yan Shenggong Kong Yuanyong, the Confucian government judges the situation and falls to Kublai Khan in awe-inspiring manner. He led his people to join the Yuan army to wipe out the "rebels" of the Han people, and "unfortunately" died in the army.

After Kong Yuanyong's death, Kong Yuancuo's family took the opportunity to seize power, and the Kong family started a competition for the title of Yan Shenggong, which lasted for several generations. The main discussion was about the color of the hat.In the end, Emperor Renzong of the Tartar Yuan judged Kong Yuancuo's lineage as Zhengzu, and Kong Yuanyong's lineage was completely defeated.Woah!Poor Kong Yuanyong shed the last drop of blood for Kublai Khan's great cause of unification, but his descendants were squeezed out and suppressed, the sky has no eyes!

In order to please Kublai Khan, the Confucian government also sent great scholars such as Zhang Dehui and Yuan Haowen to meet Kublai Khan and kneel down to ask him to be the "Great Master of Confucianism".The majestic Huaxia Sage” actually invited a chieftain whose hands were stained with the blood of tens of millions of Han people to be the grand master. It can be said that the Confucian Mansion has truly achieved the highest state of repaying hatred with virtue, admiration and admiration.

Although he didn't know a few Chinese characters, Kublai Khan happily accepted their request and became the "Great Master of Confucianism".In a good mood, Kublai Khan exempted the Confucian government and the Confucian households from military gifts, and a group of Confucian scholars celebrated and cheered - "A gentleman seeks the way but not food" is perfectly reflected here.

In fact, the Confucian mansion usually has six chariots of wealth in the village, and the vast number of hardworking people donate land and daughters, serve as slaves and servants, and change their surname to Kong in order to gain the holy grace of Yan Shenggong.This exempting Confucian mansion military gift is just icing on the cake. Of course, money does not bite one's hand, not to mention this is a gift from a great Confucian master!

Chapter 708 Traitor Family (2)

Chapter 71 Traitor Family (2)

After the Mongols and the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, who came from a grassroots background, led his troops to drive away the Mongols, and my Ming Dynasty won the world.So the Confucian family turned back again (how many times? Countless), although Zhu Yuanzhang despised the character of the Confucian family, he also knew that the Confucian family had a great superiority over the rule of the Wei family, so he continued to designate the Confucian family as Yan Shenggong ——It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang really hates the Kong family, otherwise he would not even give them a title change, and still use the title from the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, but the Kong family obviously didn't care about it. Anyway, the title of Duke Xiansheng was conferred by our Song emperor, and Jin Yuan was just plagiarizing it.

As far as the most up-to-date quality among the Confucian Yanshenggong is concerned, there is nothing more than Kong Yinzhi, the Confucian Yanshenggong in the late Ming Dynasty. The Zhu family treated him really well. Received the title of Duke Yan, and successively added the crown prince Tai Bao and the crown prince Tai Tuo. It can be said that the king's favor is as deep as the sea. It stands to reason that the court gave you such treatment, although the Kong family would not be as heavy as a minister, or bravely stepped forward and died in battle. On the battlefield, but at least you have to show your attitude on the stand, right?

However, as soon as Li Zicheng entered Shandong and was still far away from Qufu, the Confucian government issued Zhu Shi, asking people to enshrine the dragon throne of Emperor Yongchang of Dashun Kingdom, presenting horses and silver, and kneeling to accept the seal.

Who would have thought that the change of master was too hasty this time, after only a few days as a courtier under the Dashun Dynasty, the Dashun Army was beaten away, the Dashun Dynasty was gone, and the master of the world was suddenly replaced by me Qing.

However, this is obviously not a problem for our three-surnamed Yansheng Kong Yinzhi, because his ancestors have rich experience in changing lords, the three surnames immediately turned their backs on the Dashun Dynasty, and submitted the "First Advancement Form" to me in the Qing Dynasty. The Qing court proclaimed the minister and praised the Shunzhi emperor who was bought there-on the first day of September in the first year of Shunzhi.Fuyi first enjoys the luck of Thailand, and all nations look forward to the governance of the reformation.Lead the soil back to the city, and celebrate it all over the world.Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor, inheriting the sky and imperial power, and suing the people with virtue.Xieruitu was the first to appear, and the six universes wore the gods together; in response to the world's fame, he was born, and the emperor of the eight wilds and salty songs.Mountains and rivers meet with the sun and the moon; Guozuo shares eternity with the universe.Confucianism is erected in the halls of the ministers and others, and the gaps in the chapters are minimal. They have inherited the great kindness of the generations, and now they are celebrating the prosperity of the new dynasty.Looking up to the admiration of the sages, one tends to stumble and fear the future; to look up to the emperor and the hero, the admiration is deep.Vow to wish the jade quality to prosper, to win the hearts of the heavens; to consolidate the whole Ou, to celebrate the elders of the country.The ministers and others paid their respects to the Bianwuping camp.I would like to make progress on the table to hear.

Look at it, look at it, the taste of flattery is too strong here, what's the matter?Looking forward to the sage's admiration, tending to stagger and fearing the future', this is almost equivalent to calling the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty.

Then, in response to the hair-shaving order issued by the Qing government, Gong Yinzhi of the three surnames held a grand hair-shaving ceremony, "respectfully set up an incense table and read the holy edict" to order the tribe to shave their heads.And at the time when the Confucian Mansion proposed the law, the Qing army was slaughtering countless people who resisted shaving their hair and changing clothes in Jiading, Jiangyin and other places (Jiading Three Tus).

Later, in order to avoid the taboo of Emperor Yinzhen of the Qing Dynasty, Kong Yinzhi, the third surname, simply changed his name to Kong Yanzhi, which once again showed his loyalty to the Qing court. Sangui and his ilk should also give their thumbs up!

The Confucian family is so knowledgeable, the Qing court naturally cannot do without rewards, and the Confucian family is even more powerful-as the ancestors said, "A scholar sees danger and is fatal, and he sees righteousness." This is used to educate the people, not the Confucian family to rule the world guidelines.

However, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. The situation in this world is too unpredictable. The world of Qing Dynasty was sitting well, and suddenly it became the Republic of China. Yuan Shikai became the family and claimed to want a republic, but this is still The Confucian government couldn't be bothered, and sent two "persuasion calls" in succession to persuade Yuan Shikai to "advance to the throne as soon as possible to comfort the popularity of the people".Although Yuan Shikai was "very comforted" when he saw the telegram, he had no choice but to face the hurdle of life and death.

Later, when General Zhang Xun entered Beijing and restored the Qing Dynasty, he changed the "Six Years of the Republic of China" to "Nine Years of Xuantong". The whole world celebrates", "Congratulations and great joy".

However, compared with his ancestors, Kong Lingyi seems to have a bit of integrity when it comes to integrity—in 1919, Kong Lingyi "entered Tianyan" and enjoyed the treatment of riding a horse in the Forbidden City. He still presented a "memorial" and called himself a "weichen". In 1923, Kong Decheng was also sent to "kowtow to God" to Puyi with "15 years of Xuantong".

But in 1928, when Chiang Kai-shek went on a "pilgrimage" to Qufu, the Confucian government immediately began to turn around and waited on him attentively. It was decided to change the title of "Yansheng Gong" to "the official who enshrines the most holy teacher of Dacheng".

In 1935, Kong Decheng went to Nanjing to take the oath of office in person. Not to mention the priest, he also said that Chiang Kai-shek's "New Life Movement" was "a good plan to save China and revitalize the nation."

It is worth noting that in the same year that Kong De went to Nanjing to be sworn in as a priest, the Confucian government also sent Kong Zhaorun to the East to preside over various activities such as building a Confucian temple, holding Confucianism conferences, and offering sacrifices to Confucius.

In 1937, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out and Shandong fell, Mr. Kong Decheng immediately wrote a poem saying "Jiangchuan, Zhusi and Siyuan flow together, but how are people from the same state?" doctrine concept.Afterwards, Kong Lingyu sent a congratulatory telegram to Wang Jingwei to "greetingly meet" the "third anniversary of the return of the capital" by Wang's puppet regime. In his speech, he called for the "rejuvenation of the cultures of all parties" to assist the Wang puppet regime in "completing the Holy War in Greater East Asia".

To say that the only time the Confucian family did not fall during the regime change was in 1949. Millions of fertile land and 300 acres of mansion courtyards said no to it. Arrived in Taiwan.

Of course, some people say that it’s not that they don’t want it, but that they can’t even want it, and they might end up like Liu Wencai—but one thing is for sure, the Kong family will never “die for the country” like Chen Bulei, that is Because he has that worthless so-called belief, and with this belief the Confucian family has been honored for thousands of years.

However, after arriving in Taiwan, the descendants of the Confucian family seemed to be uncomfortable with the Western-style teaching: in 1965, Kong Weiyi, the eldest son of Kong De, failed the university entrance examination!Chiang Kai-shek took a look, is this all right? !Immediately, he was instructed to enter the university without examination. However, after Kong Weiyi entered the Chinese Department of Taiwan Chengchi University, he seemed to be still adapting to the new learning. He studied at Chengchi University for six years before graduating.

A year later, Kong Weining, the second son of Kong Decheng, failed the ranking again, and Chiang Kai-shek once again swiped his pen and recommended him to National Taiwan University.Perhaps because of the lessons learned that Nai's brother was not suitable for new studies, Kong Weining chose the Department of Archeology and Anthropology.

On October 2008, 10, Kong Decheng was sent to Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital for emergency treatment due to pneumonia complicated with sepsis and decreased cardiopulmonary function.However, the hypoxia in the brain was severe, and it was delayed until 20:10 am on October 28. He died of heart and lung failure at the age of 10.

Of course, the above is purely the author's own complaints. To be honest, it is a bit too much to say that the Kong family is a traitor family, but this family is really powerful. No matter how much suffering the nation suffers, no man stands up to resist. Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty. From the end of Ming Dynasty to the beginning of Qing Dynasty, it can be said that there were many ugliness in the middle, which did not conform to Confucius' thinking. This caused many people to have opinions on the Confucius family, and later generations even called it a dog. There are many rabbits and dogs, and they are always scholars. This statement is confirmed on the door of the Kong family, but there is no problem at all.

Confucius’s thoughts are not wrong, and his original intention is not a problem. The problem is that the misinterpretation and interpretation of later generations led to all this. Since the birth of Confucianism for so many years, countless schools have been born. Each faction has its own point of view, and it is even possible that the views of the two factions are completely contradictory.

For example, Mencius's theory of human nature is good and Xunzi's theory of willfulness is evil. Good and evil are opposed to each other, but both sides have their own reasons, but no one can say who they are, and the final result is that the two sides turn against each other. I.

After thousands of years of interpretation, the current Confucian thought is no longer the original thought of Confucius, let alone the original intention of Confucius. It can only be said that in order to cater to the thoughts of the rulers, the original subtle words and righteousness have long been altered beyond recognition by the latecomers.

But in any case, the actions of the Confucian family are indeed disgusting. Li Shimin, who is familiar with the deeds of the Confucian family in the past dynasties, would not like the Kong family even more. If it weren’t for Kong Yingda’s integrity, the Confucian family would indeed be beneficial to the stability of the Tang Dynasty. , Li Shimin will bird them?

Moreover, after thousands of years of development, the current Qufu has been run by the Kong family. Although Qufu is nominally the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it has been controlled by the Kong family for a long time, and even the appointment of the county magistrate. It is the Kong family who has the final say, the imperial court has no prestige at all, even if it is not much worse than the seven clans and five surnames.

"I'm so mad." Li Shimin is very angry and depressed now. The Kong family's status is too special. If they insist on opposing, Li Shimin really can't find a solution for a while.

"Your Majesty, according to this concubine, this matter will still fall into the hands of the Yan family." Understanding Li Shimin's depression, Concubine Yan reminded her gently as if she had thought of something.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up: "Huh? How do you say that?"
