Chapter 266: The Kong Family

The pit was dug very deep, but it was a little short, and the young man dragged the corpse into the pit with great effort, but had to put the corpse's knees up, "Mother has wronged you!" Then he pushed the earth into the pit with his hands.

Madu asked, "Why don't you cry twice!" ”

The young man looked up and smiled, "Our whole family was buried by me one by one!" He poked his finger into his heart, "It doesn't hurt here, I can't cry." ”

He suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly took out two shiny apples from the crotch of his pants, put them next to the corpse, and continued to bury them. Madu was stunned, almost thinking that inside his crotch was the magic pocket of the robot cat. Apples are a rarity in this winter, and I don't know where he got them.

"Let's go!" Madu waved his whip and gently tapped it on the horse's buttocks.

Qi Xiang said with a smile: "I think the kid is good, Uncle Guo can accept him as a righteous son." ”

"Yoshiko? Forget it. "Ma Du can not have this habit," he said outside, and he should keep a low profile outside, and just call him a lord. ”

Lao Liu said: "Don't you wait for him?" ”

"If he wants to come, he will naturally chase after him, let's go to the city to rest!" As soon as Madu clamped the horse's belly, the horse began to run in small steps.

The first thing that comes to mind about Qufu is Confucius, which is his hometown. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed Confucianism from a hundred schools, Taishi Gong made a slight mention when he wrote a book, and Confucius's status flew up like a rocket.

The so-called predecessors planted trees and later generations enjoyed the shade, since Liu Bang gave the Kong family a knighthood, no matter how the world changes, the Kong family has always had a title inheritance. When he arrived in the Song Dynasty, he became "Yan Shenggong", which sounds very bullish, but he is just an eight-rank petty official.

With the changes of the times, this title has gradually risen, from the three products of the Yuan Dynasty to the first product of the Ming Dynasty, and even the Qing Dynasty can even ride horses in the palace and walk on the royal road, although there is not much real power, but it is extremely honorable.

If you have the heart, it is not difficult to find that their status has increased with the continuous concentration of imperial power. In the Song Dynasty, the Son of Heaven and the scholars ruled the world together, so their title was not very high.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan needed the recognition of the Han people, and he was suddenly promoted to the third grade. In the Ming Dynasty, when he encountered Zhu Yuanzhang, a beast of power, he simply rose to the first grade. Not to mention the Qing Dynasty, not only ethnic minorities but also the era of the peak of imperial power, the Kong family had the opportunity to gallop in the palace.

Although there are not a few outstanding figures in history, the Confucian family can continue this honor for two thousand years, in addition to having a good ancestor, they still have a big trick, that is, the way is a sentence, the emperor is the best! Emperor Max!

No matter who is the emperor and who is in power, they have to flatter, Meng Yuan, Manchu Qing, Yuan Shikai, and even ...... Hehe, don't say anything about continuing the Confucian heritage, Confucianism has long been deep-rooted, Confucianism is all over the world, where to use them, in the final analysis, it is just for wealth and glory.

There is no lack of respect for the Master of All Saints, Ma Du, and a lack of good impression of his descendants, but he will not kill everyone with a stick, there are always people in the thousand-year-old family who know the national righteousness, and of course there are few descendants who have to be Xiao. After all, "there are people everywhere who are dogs", this is what their own people say.

For example, Kong Duanyou, the forty-eighth grandson of Confucius, who attacked the Holy Prince, once carried the statue of Confucius on his back and crossed the river with him when the Jin soldiers went south, and settled in Quzhou, becoming the ancestor of the Southern Sect of Kong.

As for the branch that stayed in Qufu, it didn't praise Kublai Khan's stinky feet for the title of Yan Shenggong at the beginning. Even the male lords of Kublai Khan's generation were shocked by their temperament, and finally only said: "You must wait for all to return, you must study hard, and if you are talented, I can become an official." Kublai Khan found someone from Nanzong again, and Kong Zhu of Nanzong took the initiative to give up the title of Yan Shenggong, and Kublai Khan praised: "After the true saint!" ”

The truth and falsehood in the world are the most difficult to distinguish, Lao Zhu is blind, he has occupied Quzhou for many years and does not go to find the descendants of the Kong family, and as soon as Xu Da occupies Qufu, he will ask the contemporary Yan Shenggong Kong Kejian to go to Yingtian. Not for anything else, just to let them praise their stinky feet at the ceremony.

Lao Kong obviously forgot the hardships of his ancestors kneeling and licking Kublai Khan, pretending to be sick and not going, and let his son Kong Xi learn. Lao Zhu is naturally reluctant to talk about pomp and circumstance, so he simply doesn't want it.

Lao Zhu was very angry, although he didn't speak, the people below could understand that someone would come to the house to collect taxes after the autumn grain was harvested this year. Just kidding, the Kong family has never handed over this thing.

Of course Kong Kejian knows what's going on, he does have some physical problems, but it would be a lie to say that he can't go to Yingtian, and it won't be too hard to go straight to Yingtian from Qufu along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

Thinking about the ancestors, for the title of Yan Shenggong, he also died on the journey with the Mengyuan army, and it is nothing to go to Yingtian. Qufu had also received the news of Lao Zhu Dengji, and he pondered that when the ice melted in spring, he would go south along the canal to meet Lao Zhu in the Yingtian Dynasty.

At the moment, he can't be idle, he also opened a porridge shop at the city gate, and let his son personally preside over it, one is to relieve the displaced people, and the other is to reward the Ming army who come and go, and there are many Ming troops who have come and gone recently. Of course, the second purpose is the most important, this is to show his attitude to Ying Tian's Lao Zhu, and accumulate some reputation by the way.

It was noon outside the Qufu Gate, and there were many homeless people outside the city gate, almost as many as three or four thousand. One by one, they held broken bowls and lined up to receive porridge.

As soon as he heard that it was the old Kong family who was giving porridge, Ma Du immediately went up, but when he saw the thin soup that was so clear that he could shine a human figure, the bad feeling in his heart immediately returned.

Kong Xixue saw a group of cavalry coming from the south on horseback, and there was a murderous aura between the majestic gallops, although he didn't know the soldiers, he could also see that this was a rare elite.

A young man who had just reached the weak crown dismounted, and saw that he was handsome, with a long figure, wearing a set of delicate armor, covered with a fur coat, holding a leather whip in his hand, and walking with his legs skimming, looking so arrogant that he looked like a complete gentleman.

However, there are so many elite escorts, and they are definitely not small people, and they can't be neglected, but my father ordered them. He stepped forward and arched his hand, "I have seen the military master in Kongxi, the Lower Confucian Mansion." ”

"Oh? Which Confucian Mansion? ”

Kong Xixue's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and when he arrived in Qufu, he actually asked which Confucian Mansion it was, not two fools, that is, he deliberately came to find the ballast, and said unhappily: "Of course, it is the descendant of the Most Holy Ancestor Dacheng and the Most Holy Wenxuan King Confucius, the mansion of the Holy Duke of Yan!" ”

Ma Du frowned, sneered, and asked Qi Xiang beside him, "Have I ever been crowned by Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

The Kong family doesn't give Lao Zhu face, as Lao Zhu's loyal lackey, Qi Xiang naturally doesn't like the old Kong family, "I haven't heard the emperor say it, I heard that Mengyuan Tartar has been sealed!" ”

(After yesterday's chapter was released, everyone left a lot of messages when they saw the word Qufu, but it was deleted before it was an hour, so the author temporarily changed the plot, and he didn't dare to write too intensely, for fear of being blocked, please understand)
