Daming: Teach the prince about dragon slaying skills at the beginning

From then on, it became an ordinary family no different from other aristocratic families, and no one would look up to their Kong family again.

It can be said that after Yan Changqing's three consecutive operations, it is not an exaggeration to say that the graves of the Kong family were dug and the corpses were exposed in the wilderness.

That's why Kong Xixue, who finally heard Yan Changqing's words, was so angry that he vomited blood and passed out.

After hearing Yan Changqing's suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang, Song Lian and other civil servants, as well as the Confucian students, literati and scholars present, were all lost in thought.

Yan Changqing was not in a hurry, so he stood quietly on the high platform, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's decision.

However, he believed in this set of plans, and finally got Zhu Yuanzhang's consent.

Because of this set of plans, it should be possible to put Confucius above the rest of the philosophers after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Even the altar that was faintly above the imperial power of the emperor was pulled down, and the status of Confucius was reduced to the level of being on par with other schools of thought! ! !

If the status of Confucius is lowered, the power and status of the emperor will naturally be further improved.

Similarly, the potential threat of Confucianism's "Subduing the Dragon" is naturally reduced accordingly.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang would basically agree to his plan.

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, but even Song Lian and other civil servants, as well as Confucian scholars, literati and scholars all over the world would agree.

Because although he completely knocked the Kong family out of the dust, it was driven into a place where it would never be restored.

But he also gave a chance for other Confucian scholars and scholars in the world to become the orthodox inheritor of Confucius's thought!

That is Confucius! ! !

In the past, the name Yanshenggong has always been the unique title of the Confucius family, and the Kong family has always relied on this title as a powerful proof of the identity of the orthodox successor of Confucius.

Other Confucian students, literati and scholars could not get their hands on the title of Yan Shenggong and the identity of the orthodox inheritor of Confucius.

But it's different now, Yan Shenggong was abolished, and Kong Sigong was established.

Then in the future, whoever gets the honorary title of Kong Sigong will be the orthodox inheritor of Confucius, and he can call himself the family of Kong Sheng in a grand manner! ! !

This is a real opportunity to expand one's lintel and add to one's family heritage! ! !

Faced with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and temptation, basically no civil servant, or any Confucian student, literati and scholar, could refuse it.

......

Chapter 2 Seventy: Use "The Analects of Confucius" to kill the sage, and use the country to punish Kong's crime! 【Please subscribe, please order】

In fact, if possible, Yan Changqing did not want to give the suggestion of setting up Kong Sigong.

But if another Kong Sigong is not established, even if the Confucian family who is a leader of the Confucian literary world is eliminated now, new Confucian literary leaders such as the Meng family, the Yan family, and the Zeng family will be born in the future.

At that time, Confucianism will still continue to expand and expand under the leadership of the new family of Confucian literary leaders, and continue to seek more benefits and power.

Instead of letting them elect a new family of Confucian literary leaders, it is better to arrange for them a new, default Rulin~literary leader now.

Kong Sigong, who is recognized by the imperial court, is a model of morality in the world, and is the orthodox inheritor of Confucianism, is equivalent to the new Confucian-literary leader.

But every time there are five Confucians in the selection, when the ideas and opinions of the five Confucians conflict, who should the Confucian scholars and literati all over the world listen to? ! !

Even if the five Confucians could reach an agreement, what about five years from now? ! !

Kongsigong is selected every five years, and there are five Kongsigongs at a time, which is equivalent to one Kongsigong a year.

If these Dukes of Confucius all live to be a hundred years old, then there may be nearly a hundred Dukes of Confucius coexisting at the time when there are the most in the world.

So many Kong Sigongs, when it comes to their own interests and the interests of their respective families, can they really continue to agree with each other and advance together for the collective interests of Confucianism? ! !

Similarly, after dozens or hundreds of years, there will be dozens or hundreds of "Confucian orthodox inheritor" families in the world.

At that time, not to mention that everyone is the descendant of the orthodox inheritor of Confucius, but at least the descendant of the orthodox inheritor of Confucius is almost rotten.

When the descendants of Kong Sheng's orthodox inheritors are almost equivalent to bad streets, then the identity of the descendants of Kong Sheng's orthodox inheritors will naturally become worthless.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Yan Changqing's mouth.

Although he gave Confucian students and scholars all over the world a sweet bait visible to the naked eye.

But in this sweet bait, there is hidden poison enough to make it difficult to unify the world's scholars and literary circles, and make the family of the orthodox inheritors of Confucius no longer as noble as it is today, and completely fall into the mortal world!

But even if it was poison, all the civil servants, Confucian scholars, scholars and scholars present would not be able to resist swallowing it.

Because this poison is too sweet!

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Song Lian below and asked:

"What does Mr. Jing Lian think of the proposal of setting up Kong Sigong separately?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang only asked civil and military officials what he thought of the second of the three suggestions Yan Changqing just said.

Because the first suggestion and the third suggestion, regardless of whether the civil and military officials agree or not, he will definitely adopt it, so it doesn't matter whether he asks or not.

Song Lian, who had already finished thinking about it, heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question and said respectfully:

"This proposal is conducive to advocating the common people all over the world. Everyone should practice Confucianism's gentleness, respectfulness, thrift, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, loyalty, filial piety, honesty, shame and courage. It is an act of morality to teach the world, so I have no objection to this proposal."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then looked at the civil and military officials and asked:

"Do you have any other ideas about this discussion?"

All the civil and military officials, nobles and marquises below all bowed their hands in salute and replied respectfully:

"All the ministers agree with this proposal, and they have no opinion!"

This sentence was spoken by the civil servants from the truth, after all, this proposal is obviously beneficial to them.

Maybe they will also have the opportunity to win the title of Kong Sigong, the model of morality in the world, and the orthodox inheritor of Confucius' thought.

Such a good thing, they have no reason to disagree.

Of course, in addition to this, they have a little opinion on the precondition of "regardless of whether they have an official position, whether they have a title, whether they can read or write, and regardless of their occupation or occupation".

Because if there is no "higher" prerequisite, then their competitive pressure will be too great.

It is equivalent to competing with 6000 million people all over the world for the five Kong Sigong places that are held every five years.

For their own sake, they naturally hope to raise the prerequisites for the election a little higher.

But these are small things, and you can slowly plan to increase the default prerequisite requirements for competition in the future.

Right now, it is rare that Zhu Yuanzhang has the idea of ​​agreeing to this proposal. Of course, he should hurry up and finalize it before talking about it.

As for the honorable generals, they also had big ideas. After all, abolishing Yan Shenggong and re-establishing Kong Sigong, in their opinion, there is basically no loss for the civil servants.

They even hope that after Yan Shenggong is abolished, Confucius will no longer be established.

But military commander Xungui is not a fool, they can naturally see that Zhu Yuanzhang is only asking for their opinions symbolically, and he doesn't really want them to express different opinions, so they all agreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes finally fell on the Confucian students, literati and scholars, and more than [-] people in Yingtianfu in all directions outside the high platform. He said gently and intimately:

"Do you all agree with the proposals Mr. Yan said just now?!"

Responding to Zhu Yuanzhang was the unanimous answer of more than [-] Yingtianfu people and a group of Confucian students, literati and scholars who shook the sky:

"agree!"

"Long live Your Majesty!!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live!!"

There were cheers and approval, which lasted for a long time like continuous waves.

After all, a group of Confucian students, literati and scholars, and more than one hundred thousand people in Yingtian Mansion are not fools.

The original title of Duke Yansheng was only inherited by the Kong family, and outsiders like them had no chance.

Although it is still very difficult for them to obtain one of the titles of Duke Kong Si, no matter how difficult it is, there is a slight chance after all.

And for them, having this slight chance is enough to satisfy them.

Looking at the scene where more than ten thousand people in Yingtianfu shouted long live, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help showing a look of satisfaction on his face, and said happily:

"Then these few things will be settled like this. Later, we will set up the specific rules and regulations, and then make a decree and announce it to the world!"

Following Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the three suggestions Yan Changqing just said were completely confirmed.

Kong Kebiao on the high platform opposite Zhu Yuanzhang trembled all over, pointed at Yan Changqing with trembling fingers, looked at Yan Changqing with resentment and viciousness in his eyes, and uttered a sentence with difficulty:

"You are so cruel!"

Yan Changqing shook his head and said calmly:

"How can your Kong family treat the people of Qufu so cruelly? You haven't paid back the blood debt owed to the people of Qufu by your Kong family!!!"

Yan Changqing turned to look at a group of Confucian scholars, literati and scholars in all directions, as well as more than a hundred thousand people of Yingtian Mansion, and said loudly:

"The so-called gentleman's luster, beheaded for five lifetimes!"

"Even if it is His Majesty's Son of Heaven, according to the "Daming Royal Clan System", if the royal clan does not make great contributions to the court, even the royal clan's children will become ordinary people after five generations."

"Even if this is the case for the Son of Heaven's Ze, how can the Saint's Ze be surpassed?!"

"Even if there are many legacy of Confucius, the 55 generations of Zepi have been exhausted!!!"

"Even though Confucius' legacy is still unfinished, the children of the Confucius family violated the laws of the country and owed countless blood debts to thousands of people in Qufu, so they should be executed!!!"

Having said that, Yan Changqing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a solemn expression, bowed his hands and said in a salute:

"No matter how great the swamp of saints is, it is no bigger than the laws and regulations of the state, and it cannot cover up the blood and tears of the people of Qufu under the swamp of saints!!!"

"Your Majesty, please use "The Analects" to kill the unfaithful, unfilial, and unrighteous Kong family saints in Qufu, Shandong Province!!!"

"Using the laws of the country to criminalize the children of the Kong family who oppressed the people in the Yurou Township!!!"

"Return justice to the people of Qufu, and justice to all people in the world!!!"

After Yan Changqing's words fell, the more than [-] people of Yingtian Mansion all around opened their mouths to agree:

"Your Majesty, please cut off the saint's swamp!!!"

"Convict the children of the Kong family!!!"

"Return justice to the people of Qufu!!!"

......

The voices of more than [-] people in Yingtian Mansion were surging like a tide, and lasted for a long time.

Seeing the public opinion of more than ten thousand people in Yingtianfu, Zhu Yuanzhang also looked solemn and majestic, his eyes fell on Mao Xiang, and he said awe-inspiringly:

"Take "The Analects of Confucius" and the sword!!"

In just a few moments, Mao Xiang hastily fetched a brand new "The Analects of Confucius" and a three-foot long sword, and handed them to Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully.

...... ......

Zhu Yuanzhang wrapped the long sword with "The Analects of Confucius", and his eyes fell on Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao, who were waking up at this moment, and he slashed down on them, and said coldly at the same time:

"In the name of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I will kill the sage of the Confucius family in Qufu, Shandong, and abolish the name of Kong Jiayan as the holy man!!!"

"In the Ming Dynasty, there will be no extra preferential treatment for the children of the Kong family!!!"

"Kong's children are not allowed to claim to be descendants of Kong Sheng's blood!!!"

"Order Jin King Zhu Yan to bring "The Analects of Confucius" together with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the three judicial departments to go to Qufu, Shandong Province to thoroughly investigate the Kong family, so that no one can be missed!"

"All the children of the Confucian family who violate the law and commit crimes will be dealt with strictly and severely according to the law!"

"Other Kong's children who have not violated the law or committed any crimes will be dismissed from all over the country, and they will be ordinary people who are loyal, filial and righteous!"

......

On the high platform, Kong Xixue, who had just woken up, spewed out a big mouthful of blood again when he saw this scene, and fell straight back, but he lost his breath.

Kong Kebiao felt even more dizzy, and lay down directly on Kong Xixue's corpse, his eyes lost focus and his expression was dull.

The ten disciples of the Kong family who were tied to the high platform collapsed and struggled crazily.

Seeing this scene, the dozens of Qufu commoners and sufferers finally couldn't bear it anymore, and all of them burst into tears.

From generation to generation, from generation to generation.

No matter how many dynasties have changed in the past, for the people in Qufu, the sky above their heads has never changed.

For thousands of years, the Kong family has always been like a cloud that hangs over the hearts of the people of Qufu, keeping them from seeing the sun.
