Shandong Qufu, located in the southwest of Shandong Province, east of Surabaya, west of Yanzhou, south of Zoucheng, north of Mount Tai, ancient Lu national capital, Confucius's hometown.

On the banks of the Surabaya River, I saw that the mess was all the Dashun army going south, all of them had uneven equipment and horse harness, some pushed the baggage, some carried grain and grass, and some pushed artillery, the flags were chaotic, the battalion was not clear, and there were local accents of scolding and scolding everywhere, and even the flags of the Chinese army were carried across the river horizontally.

It was not until after crossing Surabaya that the Dashun army re-erected the flag of the Chinese army, which converged into a mighty southward trend.

Liu Fangliang's division of the left battalion and Yuan Zongdi's division of the right battalion of the Dashun army, with a total of 60,000 horse infantry, marched 1,100 miles on the 15th to reach Shandong to defend the mountains first, with an average of 75 miles per day.

On the twentieth day of the first month, Li Zicheng led an army of 400,000 to Qufu, Shandong, where he met Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi.

Knowing that the 100,000 Ming army was also rushing towards Qufu, Li Zicheng was uneasy, and he said to Song Xiance beside him: "Military advisor, I always feel bad in my heart, or you should make a hexagram first......

Song Xiance said with a strong face: "Your Majesty, the minister has already calculated before, it is very auspicious, if it is frequently calculated, it will not work." ”

Li Zicheng's face was still uneasy, and the feeling of turning evil into good fortune for many years told him that the prospects for this expedition were not very good.

Seeing this, Song Xiance cheered him up and said: "Our army is large, the number is four or five times that of it, and there are also guns, why is Your Majesty worried?" ”

Li Zicheng thinks about it, he has too much heart, if the Dashun army fights hard, and it can't defeat the 100,000 Tianwu Army (including the Longwu Army and the Shenwu Army), then what else will defend the world?

The front army rode over and said, "Your Majesty, twenty miles ahead is the Confucian Mansion of the Holy Duke of Yan, please ask for instructions, do you want to stay there?" ”

Li Zicheng looked at Song Xiance and asked puzzledly, "What is Yan Shenggong?" ”

Song Xiance was speechless for a moment, and explained: "Your Majesty, Yan Shenggong is not a thing, it is the hereditary title of the eldest descendant of Confucius, which is equivalent to Guogong, the Song, Jin, Yuan, and Ming dynasties have canonized Yan Shenggong, and our Dashun also wants to canonize the Confucian family, so as to calm the hearts of scholars in the world." ”

Li Zicheng's face showed a different color, and said: "The Jin and Yuan periods were also canonized? The Kong family was also sealed? ”

Song Xiance nodded and said, "It's sealed." ”

Song Xiance is coarse and proficient in writing and ink, proficient in Qimen Dunjia, and is not even a showman, so he naturally has no feeling for the shameful behavior of Confucius's descendants.

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "It seems that these scholars are sometimes more shameless than us rough people, so let's stop in the Yansheng Mansion and let Lao Tzu also see the character of the readers." ”

......

Qufuyan Shenggong Confucian Mansion.

Confucius Mansion was built in the Ming Dynasty Hongwu 10 years, Hongzhi 16 years rebuilt, nine into the courtyard, three road layout, covers an area of 240 acres, a total of hall, hall, building, room 463 rooms.

In front of the ancestral hall of Confucius, Kong Yinzhi, the sage of Yan, wore a green cloth and white shirt and personally wiped a wood carving hollow gold dragon pattern immortal card (a tablet for the living, feeling its kindness, praying for its longevity), this immortal card is impressively written with the words "Emperor Yongchang of Dashun".

Kong Yinzhi took care of it carefully, and wiped it brightly, lest this immortal card be contaminated with a little dust.

After working for a long time, he personally invited out the entry table he had already written, carefully placed it in front of Li Zicheng's immortal card, and made another big salute.

After rehearsing a few times, Kong Yinzhi felt very satisfied, so he asked the housekeeper beside him: "Has Emperor Dashun come to our Qufu?" ”

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Master, the Dashun army has already crossed Surabaya, and it should be about to enter the city." ”

Kong Yinzhi slapped the butler in the face, and said angrily: "Dog Cai, why didn't you say it earlier?" almost made my Kong family commit the crime of disrespecting His Majesty the Emperor Dashun, so quickly gather the clansmen to meet him outside the city! ”

The convening order was issued, and all the people in the Confucian Mansion moved and gathered in the front hall.

Kong Yinzhi came with his hand, and Yan Shenggong was an official rank of the Ming Dynasty and the head of the civil ministers, but at this time he was not wearing an official uniform.

He saw that his eldest son Kong Xingxie was wearing a bullfighting suit, and he was furious at the moment: "Rebel, we are going to meet Emperor Dashun, why are you wearing a bullfighting suit given by the Ming court?" Do you want to hurt my Kong family? Hurry up and take it off and burn it! ”

Kong Xingxie said tentatively: "Father, the world has not yet been decided, in case Dashun is defeated......

Kong Yinzhi snorted coldly and said: "You don't have to think about it, Emperor Yongchang raised millions of troops to the south, and he has already arrived in Qufu, Emperor Tianwu divided his troops into several roads, not to mention how many people he brought, what about them?" For thousands of years, my Confucian family has always adhered to the principle of worshipping whoever is strong! ”

Seeing that Kong Xingxie still didn't understand there, Kong Yinzhi shouted: "Don't go and change your clothes quickly, everyone is not allowed to wear Ming official uniforms, we want Emperor Dashun to see the sincerity of my Kong family!" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the Kong family hurriedly changed their clothes again.

At this time, the Confucian family hurriedly came to report: "The Dashun army has arrived at the receiving pavilion, and Emperor Yongchang's Luan has come!" ”

Kong Yinzhi immediately panicked and shouted: "Quick! Quickly get the statement I wrote! ”

......

At the north gate of Qufu, the city gate is wide open, and the surrounding area is already surrounded by the banner of the Shun army.

Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi hurriedly ran with the Confucian family, he knelt in front of Li Zicheng's car with a puff, and shouted: "Kong Yinzhi, the sixty-fourth grandson of Confucius, knock on Emperor Yongchang of Dashun, may Emperor Yongchang shine with heaven and earth, sun and moon!" ”

Li Zicheng looked at him with interest on his horse, and asked for a long time: "You are Yan Shenggong?" ”

Kong Yinzhi was ecstatic in his heart, it turned out that Emperor Dashun actually knew about himself? He kowtowed again and said, "The minister is the contemporary Yan Shenggong. ”

Li Zicheng raised his horsewhip and said: "You are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, why do you kneel to me, the Emperor of Dashun?" ”

Kong Yinzhi was shocked, knelt and moved a few steps forward, kept kowtowing, and cried: "The minister has already set his heart on Dashun, and he is looking forward to the arrival of the Dashun army day and night!" The former Ming Chongzhen faint monarch is immoral and incompetent, and the current Tianwu tyrant is even more brutal, regarding the gentry as grass mustard, killing at every turn, after I am a saint, I should be the first of all Confucianism, and return to the king of Dashun! ”

As he spoke, Kong Yinzhi raised his hands and presented the table respectfully.

Song Xiance looked at him with contempt, and some civil officials of the six governments were even more disdainful in their eyes, whether it was the Jin State or Meng Yuan going south, the Kong family was the first to surrender to the foreign race, and became a fifteenth generation of ministers, which was despised by the world.

Li Zicheng pinched the text and glanced at it casually, a little unable to understand these words, so he threw them aside, nodded and said, "The writing is good, get up and lead the way." ”

Kong Yinzhi was like being amnestied, and kowtowed a few more times, so he got up with peace of mind and led the way in person.

The Dashun army marched into Qufu, and Kong Yinzhi took Li Zicheng to the Yansheng Mansion with a smile all the way.

The main body of the Confucian Mansion is in the middle road, the front is the official office, and there are three halls and six halls according to the six departments, divided into the main hall, the second hall and the third hall, which is the place where the Yansheng Gong handles official business, and the six halls are the places where the affairs of the Confucian Mansion are managed.

The back is the inner house and the back garden, is the place where Yan Shenggong and his dependents are active, the front and back floors of the inner house are the houses of the lord, wife, young master and young lady of the house, at this time because of the arrival of the Emperor Dashun basically moved away, leaving only a few beautiful Miss Kong, hoping to have an unexpected encounter with the Yongchang Emperor.

The rockery, fish pond, flower dock, bamboo forest and various flower bonsai in the Confucian Mansion are all available, looking at Li Zicheng and amazed, praised: "Your house is well built." ”

Kong Yinzhi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's visit to the Confucian Mansion is an honor for my Kong family!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded, came to the ancestral hall of Confucius, and "unexpectedly" saw his immortal card.

He pointed to the immortal card and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Kong Yinzhi immediately said righteously: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the old man is a descendant of a saint, so he naturally has to lead the world to do this loyal thing!" ”

Li Zicheng, who was slapping this sycophant, was very comfortable, and he smiled: "The Kong family is loyal, and I will canonize Kong today..... What's your name Kong? ”

"Chan Kong Yinzhi!"

"Oh, Kong Yinzhi, today I canonized Kong Yinzhi as the Holy Father of the Great Shun Dynasty, hereditary replacement!"

Kong Yinzhi was excited in his heart, and tears of emotion fell, and he fell to the ground and said, "Thank you to my lord Longen!" ”

When visiting the backyard of the Confucian Mansion, Kong Yinzhi vigorously talked about how cruel Emperor Tianwu was, and how much he longed for the Great Shun King to relieve the people from hanging upside down.

In the end, he gave Li Zicheng a deep salute and said with a bloody expression: "I implore Your Majesty to go south and save my Jiangnan father and elder from fire and water!" ”

Li Zicheng helped Kong Yinzhi up, and said continuously: "Hurry up, please get up!" ”

Next, there is a beautiful picture of a gentleman and a wise minister.
