The great tomorrow is tall, with a beard, and is very majestic. Dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, wearing a crown of black yarn wings, a good horse with a red horse on his crotch, followed by a team of knights wearing big red flying fish suits, and carrying a spear in his hand, the tip of the spear was sharpened, and the cold air seeped in under the sun. The knights were followed by countless infantrymen, all in gray Western-style military uniforms, carrying foreign guns and bayonets, which were also cold and cold. These infantry lined up in six columns, and the line stretched to the horizon, as if there was no end.

Kong Xiantang hurriedly bowed to his knees, and the Quzhou gentry and the children of the Southern Sect of the Kong clan behind him also knelt on the ground together.

"Ministers and other ministers welcome the holy drive of the great emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live......"

Kong Xiantang, the head of the Confucian sect in the south of the Yangtze River and the 71st descendant of the holy master Kong Zhongni, led the Quzhou regiment to open the door to surrender as soon as the Ming army invaded Quzhou, and took refuge in the side of the Ming Dynasty.

"Kong Xiantang, raise your head."

This is the golden mouth of the great tomorrow, Kong Xiantang did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly looked up at Zhu Jishi who was sitting on an Arab horse, and Zhu Jishi was also watching the 71st grandson of Confucius.

Kong Xiantang is very young, his face is white and beardless, he is dressed as a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be seen through the Confucian scarf on his head that he has no braids, and his hair has been shaved.

"Kong Xiantang, I heard that you have not yet taken the position of Doctor of the Five Classics of the Manchu Han Forestry Academy?"

"Weichen's Kong Nanzong knows the difference between Huayi, since Song Jianyan will go to the south, give the family in Qu, after the death of the Song Dynasty, the ancestors of the ministers ploughed in the township, not the king of barbarians. Until Emperor Taizu restored the Han family. Although the minister is not talented. But I also know that Huayi is different. Jianyi was rebellious, but he was actually a puppet emperor who stole the country. When the minister heard that His Majesty came from the sea, he would restore the Ming Dynasty, chase away the Hulu, and carry out the great cause of Hongwu. Therefore, he is unwilling to be a minister and a minister, and he is devoted to studying and waiting for His Majesty. ”

"Okay, good, Kong Southern Sect, true saint queen!" Zhu Jishi listened to Kong Xiantang's words. Praise repeatedly.

I don't want to say how about this Kong Xiantang's knowledge, but the ass is still very positive, and I know who is the Chinese Zhengshuo!

However, the children of the Southern Sect of the Kong Clan, who knelt behind Kong Xiantang, blushed for Kong Xiantang in their hearts, and this nonsense was too beautiful. He, Kong Xiantang, thought about the position of the doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, but he had been thinking about it for eight years. If it weren't for the fact that Kong Fanhao, the Yansheng Gong of the Northern Sect of the Kong Clan, looked down on a group of poor relatives of the Southern Sect, he deliberately made things difficult for Kong Xiantang, and deliberately delayed the inheritance of the Confucian family in Quzhou to inherit the hereditary position of the Doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy. Kong Xiantang has long been a doctor of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Jishi suddenly said to the left and right: "Come on, lead a horse to Kong Xiantang, and the lonely king will enter the city with Confucius." ”

……

"Your Majesty, don't you want to seal Kong Xiantang as the Holy Duke of Yan?"

"It's not a question of who Yan Shenggong should give to, the problem is that Kong Fanhao is still stepping on two boats......"

On the shaded path in the back garden of the Quzhou Mansion. Zhu Jishi was walking with his hands behind his back, followed by the military advisor Luo Zenan. The topic of discussion between the two was the Southern Sect of the Kong Clan. After Zhu Jishi personally led his troops to capture Jinhua and Liu Jiong's Fourth Army, he took a division of Jinyi Guards to Quzhou, where he came to worship the Confucian Nanzong Temple.

Although Confucianism has been criticized and criticized in later generations, since Zhu Jishi has worn Yue, he can naturally only follow the customs of the countryside and bow his head slightly to the powerful Confucian power of this era. The matter of destroying Confucianism...... It is not that we cannot do it, but we must have a powerful ideological weapon that can unite people's minds and confront Confucianism.

Because Confucianism already has a great religious component in this era, religious belief is extremely stubborn. It is not so easy to defeat it with reason and science, and all the scientists Zhu Jishi knew in Europe believed in Christianity and God. And Zhu Jishi is a science man, with limited political, ideological, and religious skills, and he can't invent a religion that can confront Confucianism. As for the ideas and doctrines that are said to be universal truths in later generations. Zhu Datianzi is now going to be the emperor, and engaging in Marxism-Leninism must be digging his own grave, and the National Socialism ...... Although it was highly respected, it was not taught in the political ideology of Chinese schools in later generations, and Zhu Jishi only heard of its name, but did not know its meaning, so naturally he could not use it to defeat Confucianism. The rest that can be used to defeat Confucianism are probably Christianity and Green Religion, the former Hong Xiuquan is already playing, and the latter Zhu Jishi really doesn't agree.

Since there is nothing that can be replaced, let's find a way to use and transform it. As for the method of transforming Confucianism, Zhu Jishi knows the Tao. Because he had studied Christianity in Europe, the same Bible, and many denominations, each with different doctrines. In other words, the same scripture has different meanings when recited by different foreign monks. Therefore, in order to reform religion, it is necessary to have the right to interpret the "scriptures". The same principle applies to Confucianism in China, and there must be an authoritative body to explain the teachings of Confucius and various sages such as Mencius, Zengzi, Zhuzi, and so on. Moreover, this authoritative institution must be personally controlled by Zhu Jishi, and the descendants of Confucius are one of the natural administrators of this authoritative institution.

Therefore, the key to the question of who is orthodox in the two sects of the Confucian clan in the north and south is who is more knowledgeable about current affairs and more obedient.

Of course, it is not appropriate to put the matter of reforming Confucianism on the table now, so Zhu Jishi only mentioned the problem of Kong Fanhao's buttocks, the Yansheng Gong of the Northern Sect of the Kong Clan.

Zhu Jishi said: "I understand Kong Fanhao's thoughts, one foot on two boats, one daughter and two husbands. Anyway, he is a descendant of Confucius, and no one can touch him! ”

Zhu Jishi's words were straightforward, Luo Zenan also heard a little anger, Kong Fanhao and Zeng Guofan's reply letter had been sent to Zhu Jishi's army a few days ago, although the words were polite, and the back road was also left, but he just didn't want to raise Shandong to return to Ming. Especially Kong Fanhao, he didn't even send a proton, isn't this fearless?

Luo Zenan nodded and said: "I have to beat Kong Fanhao, to let him know that he is not a descendant of the Kong family, Kong Xiantang of the Southern Sect is a descendant, and his seniority is higher than him." ”

"That's what it means!" Zhu Jishi nodded heavily, "But Yan Shenggong...... can't give Kong Xiantang, you can seal a consecrated monarch to him. In addition, a Hongru Academy was established, and the world's great Confucians were selected to be placed in the middle, and Hongru was named a bachelor, specializing in revising and interpreting the Four Books and Five Classics, so that Kong Xiantang could also be a Confucian scholar. ”

The title of Fengxijun was given by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to Kong Teng, the ninth grandson of Confucius, and it was the first title obtained by the descendants of Confucius. Zhu Jishi has now given this title to Kong Xiantang, and he faintly has the intention of recognizing the Southern Sect of the Kong family as his descendant.

As soon as he returned to the study after walking, before he had time to deal with the official documents, Zuo Zongtang rushed to Quzhou.

"Zuo Xiang, Lin Muweng is really going to go north to King Qin?" After listening to Zuo Zongtang's report, Zhu Jishi was naturally overjoyed.

"It's not wrong, Your Majesty, Lin Muweng has personally promised to go north, and Pan Zhi Lao also means this." Zuo Zongtang clapped his hands and said: "They have everything in their lives, so they should ask for a posthumous name...... It is impossible for Qin Daoguang to be the king, but he can make a name for himself as a loyal minister. And sell us again, and the descendants of the two Lin Pan families can also maintain their glory for a long time, killing two birds with one stone. By the way, Pan Shien's grandson Pan Zuyin has already come down to Quzhou, this child is very smart, and his subordinates suggested that the king accept him as a disciple and pass on the knowledge of Taixi. ”

"Pan Zuyin? Well, you can accept this disciple. Zhu Jishi nodded, of course he didn't have the time to teach in person, just in the name of a teacher and student, he was sent to Jishi Academy to study.

"Li Wen'an, Li Hongzhang and his son, as well as half of the Huai army under their command, will also be under our banner. Li Hongzhang resigned from the prince and was willing to enter the court as an official. ”

Li Hongzhang is a talent. Zhu Jishi nodded: "Then make their father and son a county duke, let Li Hongzhang be the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Li Wenan will temporarily serve as the governor of Anhui, and their Huaiyong will be absorbed by the Ming army, and the officers and soldiers will be retained as much as possible." ”

"Limmuon's son-in-law and two sons are also prepared to stay in the south, and we will have to treat them all kindly, your king. His Majesty suggested that Lin Muweng's two sons should be treated as a duke and a marquis, and Shen Baozhen should be given a squire...... He is a Jinshi of Daoguang for 27 years, and he is in the same department as Li Hongzhang. ”

"That's nature." Zhu Jishi Dalu said with a smile: "Being able to take Jiangnan, Lin Muweng and Pan Zhi have made great contributions, and they can't treat their families badly no matter what." By the way, Pan Zengshou also gave him a Hongru scholar, and then gave him a Hou. ”

Zuo Zongtang then said: "Your Majesty, Lin Muweng also asked you to meet in Shanghai. ”

"Alliance? Well, the Lone King is trying to meet the world-famous Lin Muweng! (To be continued......)
