Chapter 235: The Emperor of Flowing Water, the Family of Iron

Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Shandong is the Yuan army and the Red Turban Army repeatedly fought for the important place of soldiers, and when Zhu Laosi rose up to fight for the hardship, Shandong suffered another military disaster, and the most direct consequence of the continuous war was that there were ten rooms and nine emptiness, and there were no people for thousands of miles.

"Ask me where my ancestors came from, the big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi. What is the name of the ancestral hometown, the old eagle's nest under the big locust tree. ”

This folk song, which Shandong people are very familiar with, comes from this.

Because from Zhu Chongba to Zhu Laosi, he has been sparing no effort to immigrate from Shanxi to Shandong.

However, there is a problem with this.

While the most casualties in the war were often the common people, the wealthy and powerful gentry were rarely affected, and even took the opportunity to expand their family business.

The easiest way to play is to bet on both ends.

For example, Dugu Xin married his three daughters to the following three people: Emperor Yu Wenyu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Yu, Duke of Tang (Li Yuan's father), and Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian.

Going closer, there is also a famous music, "Song Family Dynasty", also known as "The Three Sisters of the Song Family".

This kind of play, those families in the Central Plains have always played extremely slippery, such as the Zhuge clan who was born in Langya, Shandong, Zhuge Liang is loyal to Liu Bei, but his brother Zhuge Jin is an important minister of Eastern Wu, and an official is a general.

As for the family that Yang Shaofeng plans to get rid of with the hands of the rebels, it is even more of the best among the best, the best of the best.

is the so-called emperor of flowing water, the family of iron, before the emperor of Zetian attacked the family, the Central Plains Dynasty was almost in the hands of the family group, no matter how the situation changes, the family is still a family, and even the emperor is not in his eyes.

For example, the legendary five surnames and seven wangs have always looked down on His Majesty Li Er, who was born in Longyou, and His Majesty Li Er, who killed his brother and killed his brother and was happy, still had no way to take the five surnames and seven wangs.

For example, Xue Yuanchao, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty who was born in the "four surnames of Guanzhong", still can't marry a woman with five surnames, so that Xue Yuanchao sighed: "Those who regret it in this life failed to marry a woman with five surnames!" ”

In order to reduce the influence of the family, Li Er's son Li Xiaojiu also strongly prohibited the marriage of five surnames and ten families, including the five surnames and Qiwang.

However, there is no use for birds, the five surnames and seven wangs committed crimes against the wind, and they still intermarried with each other, so they didn't take Li Er seriously, let alone Li Xiaojiu.

It is precisely because these families are so fucked up that the four generations of emperors Yang Er, Li Er, Li Xiaojiu, and Wu Meiniang spared no effort to suppress the family.

However, the fucking thing is that even after the three generations of ruthless people such as Yang Er, Li Er, and especially Wu Meiniang, they spared no effort to suppress it, even if the Li family had been sitting in the country for more than 200 years, Tang Wenzong proposed to Zheng Qin and wanted Zheng Qin's granddaughter to marry the crown prince, but Zheng Qin still refused.

The family is the family, and you will not be able to look down on you because your family is the emperor, Zhao Da became the emperor before it was basically solved, because the family died almost during the period from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The war of the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty is beyond the historical world understood by the family, although there is Cao Cao's poem in the poem "white bones are exposed in the wild, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles", but after all, it is a catastrophe for the common people, and there are also "righteous people in the Kanto, raising troops to fight for the murderers", the family of the Kanto region is still raising troops to fight for the murderers, and has not been destroyed by a wide range of bodies. But in the late Tang Dynasty, there is a poem by Wei Zhuang as evidence, "Tianjie stepped on the bones of the princess".

As Tan Kai said, the essence of the Huangchao Rebellion was fundamentally different from the Anshi Rebellion before the Tang Dynasty in that even if it was vulgar and unliterate like An Lushan, he was looking forward to relying on the family and the existing bureaucracy he was familiar with to establish a feasible rule as soon as possible; Huang Chao and his successors launched a large-scale organized killing of the bureaucracy.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhen once killed Pei Shu and more than 30 ministers from the scholar clan in Baimayi, and threw the corpses into the Yellow River.

In the past, most of the wars were concentrated in the north, and the clans could at least cross to the south and recuperate in the south. The war at the end of the Tang Dynasty affected all the large population centers in the empire, and there were few places that could be used as safe havens in the late Tang Dynasty.

However, whether it is the five surnames and seven hopes, or the four surnames in Guanzhong, they are still not worthy of the title of a real thousand-year-old family.

The real millennium family, in Shandong, in Yanzhou, in Qufu.

In the first year of the Western Han Dynasty, in this era when the aristocracy was basically cool, the gate valve was emerging, and the family had not yet appeared, Emperor Ping named the descendants of Confucius as a prince in order to publicize etiquette. In the following thousand years, the title was changed repeatedly, and it has been followed until the second year of Song Renzong's reign and the second year of the Emperor's reign.

After the change of Jingkang, the forty-eighth generation of Yan Shenggong Kong Duanyou in the name of the edict "worship the Holy Son of Heaven" with the Song Gaozong's partial army crossed the Yangtze River and moved south, Jin Bing entered the Central Plains and established a puppet Qi regime, Liu Yu in the second year of Fuchang to seal Kong Duanyou's brother Kong Duancao's son Kong Yu as the Yan Shenggong, presiding over the sacrifice of Confucius Lin Temple in Qufu.

In this way, although Confucius's descendant, Kong Duanyou, went south with the statue of the ancestor and the wife of the official, the incense to worship the ancestors was still lingering in Qufu at four o'clock.

Later, the puppet Qi regime collapsed, and Jin Xizong still sealed Kong Ji as the Holy Duke of Yan in the second year of Tianjun, so far, Kong's Northern Sect was officially formed.

Later, Kong Yuancuo, the holy prince of Northern Zongyan, moved to Bianzhou with the Jin regime, and Qufu was presided over by his brother Kong Yuanyong.

In the first year of Baoqing, the Song soldiers recovered Shandong and took Kong Yuanyong as the holy prince. In the second year of Baoqing, Kong Zhiquan, the son of Kong Yuanyong, was renamed Yan Shenggong, and after Meng Yuan occupied Qufu, he also recognized the identity of Yan Shenggong Kong Zhiquan.

In this way, during the same period, the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin and Yuan courts each had a situation in which the Yan Shenggong was formed.

After Meng Yuan destroyed the Jin State, the Confucian government judged the situation, and under the leadership of Kong Yuanyong, the holy prince of Yan, the righteousness fell to Kublai Khan.

After Kong Yuanyong's death, Kong Yuancuo's line seized the opportunity to seize power, and the Confucian family fought for the title of Yan Shenggong, which lasted for several generations, until Yuanrenzong judged Kong Yuancuo's line to be a positive trace, and Kong Yuancuo's line was completely defeated.

In the spring and summer of the second year of Yuan Xianzong, the Confucian government also sent the great Confucian Zhang Dehui and Yuan Haowen to meet Kublai Khan, who asked what the situation in the world was and promised the life and death of the direct Catholic, and knelt down to ask Kublai Khan to be the "great master of Confucianism".

After all, it was sent by Yan Shenggong to "represent" Confucianism in the world, so although Kublai Khan was surprised, he still accepted the title of "Great Master of Confucianism" very happily.

Yuan Haowen took the opportunity to propose that he hoped that the "great masters of Confucianism" could think more about the Confucian students in the world, improve the lowly status of the Confucian scholars, and exempt the Confucian households from military endowments. This proposal was also agreed to by Kublai Khan.

After Kublai Khan accepted the title of "Great Master of Confucianism", the descendants of Confucius rushed to the table to celebrate, saying that this is "the return of the essence of glory", "the name and the reality are worthy of the name", "the saint is open-faced", and "my emperor is sage".

As for the miserable situation of ordinary Han people? As long as you cover your eyes and don't see it, it doesn't exist, and there must be some bandits with ulterior motives who are smearing my Great Yuan Shengtianzi!

In short, they are blind, deaf and deaf, and pretend to be deaf and dumb, without half a sentence above the table and not a word of protest, just be their "Yan Shenggong".

After the Jiashen national disaster, the little emperor of the Qing Dynasty held an enthronement ceremony in Beijing under the protection of his "imperial uncle regent" Xiaoye Badger, and was canonized by the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen as a descendant of Confucius for more than ten years---- the sixty-fifth generation of Confucius's grandson Kong Yinzhi immediately wrote to the Shunzhi Emperor the next day to claim the title of minister, and by the way on the "First Entry Table" and "Shangsha Draft".

Of course, Kublai Khan is regarded as the great master of Confucianism, and it is not unacceptable to kneel at the feet of Jiannu and shout Dad, which is trivial.

However, this is not the end, because the mites are cool, and the Japanese slaves of Dongying stand up.

In 1937, before the Japanese invaded Beiping, Confucius's 77th grandson, Kong Decheng, suddenly became a poet, advocating that China and Japan "have the same language and the same species".

On February 8, 1938, when the Japanese had been waging a nationwide war of aggression against China for more than half a year, in Qufu, a occupied area occupied by Japan, Kong Lingyu, the acting "enshrined officer" of the Confucian Mansion, invited the "Wing Commander", "Captain", "Adjutant" and other leaders of the Japanese Wing stationed in Jining to the Confucian Mansion to eat and drink, chat, and take a group photo with a smile and happiness.

Based on others, there are countless such things as "Kong Lingyi initiated the establishment of a shrine for Zhang Xun", "Kong Lingyi supported the restoration of the Qing Dynasty", "Kong Lingyi persuaded Yuan Shikai to ascend to the pole and restore the constitution as soon as possible", "Kong Lingyi supported Yuan Shikai as emperor", "Confucius Acting Enshrined Official sent a telegram congratulating Wang Jingwei on the third anniversary of the establishment of the government", "In 1923, Kong Decheng still used the name of Xuantong to play the reward of thanking the Qing Dynasty for the abolition of the emperor".

If it weren't for President Jiang in 1938 who ordered someone to get this Yan Sheng Gong to his side, it is estimated that the Yan Sheng Gong Mansion would have sent a telegram to welcome the Japanese army to China to prosper together, and by the way, he would have accepted the canonization of the Japanese State licking the yellow!

It is more realistic to expect them to have a little conscience, to be kind to the tenants, to think about the people, than to expect the sun to come out of the west.

……

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Laosi spoke: "You have thought about it, once you move that family, the rotten Confucians in the world will swarm, even if I can protect you on the bright side, but behind the scenes, I don't know how many people hate you and don't die." ”

Yang Shaofeng spread his hands indifferently and said: "From the end of the Song Dynasty when the three Yan Shenggong of the family to the title of 'Confucian Great Master' was given to Kublai Khan during the Mengyuan Dynasty, and then to the case of Kong Fanzheng taking official food two years ago, Sun Er has long been unhappy with them.

Sun Er has always felt that Sage Kong is Sage Confucius, and Sage Yan is Sage Yan, how fucked up this scholar is, it can be seen from Yuan Haowen and the like, no matter how good his grandfather is to them, they will only pick up the bowl to eat, put down the chopsticks and scold the mother.

Rather than doing this, it is better to use the hands of the rebels to directly remove this thousand-year-old tumor, and let Confucianism return to the road of Confucianism. ”
