Chapter 407: Yan Shenggong

PS: Please support my new book.

When everything was ready, Zhang Jin and Jiang Sigen once again embarked on an expedition to Dongshan Continent, this time counting the army and the people who were going to migrate to Dongshan Continent, the number of the entire fleet exceeded 10,000 people, which was almost comparable to the scale of the Three Treasure Eunuchs going to the West; Chen Jialuo had high hopes for this trip, and personally sent the civil and military officials to the dock.

"Sister Luo, don't worry, Brother Ten is not what he was back then, and he will definitely be able to handle this matter properly and come back safely!" , Chen Jialuo saw that no one was paying attention, and grabbed Luo Bing's jade hand again, while thinking about what excuse he could find to be alone with her.

"Well, the tenth brother is a lot more sensible than before when he comes back this time!" , Luo Bing faintly felt that over the years, except for the dustless road chief, the other masters have undergone earth-shaking changes, even the Chang family Shuangxia has been stuck in the academy and military camp all day after coming back this time, and the words of their brothers when they met last time were impressive.

Hey, how old is the second brother! But now that he is staying in the Chinese Guoshu Association, he can be regarded as having enough addiction to martial arts, and it is not a bad thing to live like this! When Luo Bing's thoughts drifted back, he found that Chen Jialuo's hands were irregular again, and he couldn't help blushing, and whispered, "Your Majesty, the minister has a confidential and important matter to report!" ”

Oh? Chen Jialuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately made a serious expression, "When I go back, find a confidential place and report to me alone!" After going back, I didn't mention it.

"Your Majesty, Shandong has encountered some trouble in land acquisition." , Sending Zhang Jin and the others away, Chen Jialuo has only lived a relaxed life for a few days, and another problem has come to the door, Lu Feiqing sent a document and said.

"Oh? What's the trouble? Which big family is unwilling to hand over the land? The trouble encountered in land acquisition is nothing more than what kinds. Chen Jialuo guessed without looking at the documents.

"This time it's the Yansheng Prince's house!" Although Lu Feiqing is a disciple of Taoism, he is also a literati, and he has no respect for the Confucian family, "The Yansheng family has been valued by the imperial court for generations, and almost half of the land in Jining Mansion belongs to their family!" In addition, if the scholars are looking at the Kong family today. The future of Confucianism can be judged from how we treat the Confucian family in China, so this matter cannot be unscrupulous! ”

"Oh? What did the Kong family say? Chen Jialuo asked, since the defeat of Shandong, this generation of Yan Shenggong has not fled with Qianlong, but he has not come to Nanjing to meet him, I don't know what their plans are.

"Your Majesty, Kong Zhaohuan, the Holy Father of Yan in this generation, originally wanted to enter Beijing to meet His Majesty, but he was blocked by his clansmen." Lu Feiqing talked about the reason, it turned out that the Kong family saw the reputation of the two ancestors on the traitor monument, and was worried that Chen Jialuo would deal with their family, so they shrank their heads and pretended to be an ostrich, but they were reluctant to pretend to be an ostrich, and they were exposed to Chen Jialuo again.

"Since that's the case, then his Yan Shenggong doesn't have to do it!" , Chen Jialuo snorted coldly. "Anyway, the title of the Holy Duke of Yan should have belonged to the descendants of the Sage of Confucius, but now the descendants of Confucius are in the south!"

Song Jingkang two years. Jin soldiers destroyed the Song Dynasty. King Kang Zhao crossed to the south and changed his name to Jianyan. In the second year (1128 AD), Kong Duanyou, the forty-eighth generation of Yan Shenggong in Yangzhou, went to participate in the ceremony. Kong Duanyou and some Confucian descendants accompanied the southern crossing, carrying the Zigong hand copy of Confucius and the wife of the official, as a holy relic. Later, he was dedicated to building a family temple in Quzhou, Zhejiang, and did not return to Qufu. The hereditary title of the descendants, who was named the Holy Duke of Yan by the Southern Song Dynasty, was the Southern Sect. The Northern Sect has Kong Duanyou's nephew Kong Fan as the Holy Duke of Yan, and the Northern Sect is inferior to the Southern Sect in terms of birth and legitimacy of the feudal regime. But on the contrary, it was the Northern Sect that occupied the title of Yan Sheng Gong for a long time.

The Southern Sect is not only more tenable than the Northern Sect in terms of national righteousness. Moreover, there are children like Kong Chuanliu who have joined Chen Jialuo's command, no matter what aspect Chen Jialuo looks at, he admires Nanzong more, "Lu Lao sit down for a while, I will invite Minister Kong over, and we will discuss it." ”

After a while, Kong Chuanliu came to the hall, Lu Feiqing told the matter again, and Chen Jialuo asked directly, "I plan to return the title of Yan Sheng Gong to your Nanzong, do you think you are interested in inheriting this title?" ”

To say that Nanzong has an orthodox bloodline, but it is declining day by day, and these people have no resentment in their hearts, it is false, but how to say such a big thing must be discussed with the clansmen, Kong Chuanliu asked, "Your Majesty, can the ministers who inherit this title still be able to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" ”

"If you inherit this title, I'm afraid you will have to put your work on promoting Confucianism!" Of course, what Chen Jialuo wants to promote is Confucianism adapted by Wu Sihua.

"If that's the case, the minister would rather stay in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" , Yan Shenggong is just a fictitious title, how can the foreign minister have an important position in today's government structure, Kong Chuanliu quickly made a choice, "Besides, the minister is not the eldest son, even if he inherits the title, he still has to be a brother!" ”

"Well, in that case, you can go back and discuss with your clansmen!" , Chen Jialuo nodded slightly, "I remember that there are many people in your clan who teach in universities, but there are people who have studied Mr. Wu's doctrine deeply?" ”

"Yes, several clan brothers in the clan admire Mr. Wu's knowledge very much!" , Kong Chuanliu has already understood that Chen Jialuo is setting conditions for the heir, and he must have considerable research on Wu Sihua's doctrine in order to inherit this title.

Kong Chuanliu immediately went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask for leave after coming out of the palace, and then quickly returned to the base camp of the Southern Sect of the Confucian Clan in Quzhou, the news he brought back immediately made the entire Southern Sect overjoyed, since Kong Duanyou went south, it has been more than 600 years, I didn't expect that today they have the opportunity to regain the title. And inherited the title, of course, the Confucian Temple in Qufu has to be managed by them, and the ancestral tablet of the Southern Sect of the Confucian Clan can finally return to the ancestral temple for hundreds of years, which is a more exciting thing than the raid on the lord.

After some discussion, Kong Chuanjin, the head of the Southern Sect of this generation, became the best candidate to attack the lord, he is not only the most descendant of the Southern Sect today, but also has a considerable study of Wu Sihua's Neo-Confucianism, which just meets Chen Jialuo's requirements.

After he arrived in Nanjing, Chen Jialuo held a grand ceremony to count the loyal deeds of the Southern Sect of the Kong Clan, which was in stark contrast to the two names of the Northern Sect on the tablet. Then he issued an order to deprive Beizong of the inheritance of the Yansheng Gong, gave the title to Kong Chuanjin, and sent troops to escort the new Yansheng Gong to the north to receive the Confucian Temple.

The Confucian family did not dare to fight in the face of Kublai Khan and Dolgon, and of course did not dare to anger Chen Jialuo, after several small conspiracies were ruthlessly discovered, Beizong reluctantly accepted this reality, handed over most of the land, and returned the Confucian Temple to Nanzong.

After Nanzong took over the Confucian Temple, he quickly opened the spread of Neo-Confucianism, causing turmoil in the intellectual world. (To be continued......)
