After Liu He heard this, his face was stunned, and he almost laughed out loud - not a happy laugh, but a self-deprecating laugh, he laughed at his stupidity and carelessness.

I actually forgot about these difficult people.

After going around such a big circle, he finally returned to the Confucian Mansion in Qufu.

Since Liu He wants to snatch the right to interpret the Confucian scriptures, he can't get around Kong.

"Wang Fu, you might as well say these three words at the beginning, so I don't have to remember so many names, it's just empty joy." Liu He shook his head harshly and said.

"The old man is old, he just wants to teach more things to His Majesty, and His Majesty will forgive his sins." Wang Shi said indifferently.

"Then let Lao Wang Fu explain and tell me what the situation of the Kong family is today." Liu He said helplessly.

This time, Wang Shi didn't hold it up, but simply said the names of the two people neatly.

After hearing this, Liu He only felt a headache, these two people surnamed Kong are more difficult to deal with than the other.

Before coming to Dahan, Liu He knew that the Kong family had a transcendent status in Dahan.

In other words, it was from the beginning of the Han Dynasty that the Confucian family revered one day after another, and this reverence lasted for two thousand years.

In the past, when Taishi Gong wrote the "Historical Records", the biographies of the characters were divided into three types: the Benji, the family, and the biography.

This chronicle records the affairs of the emperor, the affairs of the princes, and the affairs of the famous ministers and celebrities.

In terms of secular identity, Confucius was only the chief secretary of the Lu State, and he was still only a minister.

However, Taishi Gong believes that "Confucius cloth clothes, passed down for more than ten generations, scholars Zongzhi", so the Kong family is more prominent than ordinary princes.

Therefore, in the "Historical Records", there is "The Family of Confucius", not "The Biography of Confucius".

In the next 2,000 years, the families of the princes and emperors had ups and downs, but only the Confucian family continued for more than 2,000 years, which once again proved the insight of Taishi Gong.

Of course, the Confucian family is not only because of their high learning, but also because some of the descendants of the surname Kong are too good at seeing the wind and making the rudder, and they are too good at writing tables.

However, this is all a later story, in today's Han Dynasty, the Confucian family has not yet had such unscrupulous descendants.

At this time, the Confucian family had not yet reached its peak in status, but its influence on scripture and Confucianism was at its strongest.

After all, it is not far from the time of Confucius, and because of its special status, Confucius has a natural advantage in interpreting the scriptures.

Moreover, unlike the later generations of the Confucian family, the current Confucian family has produced a lot of great Confucians with real talent and real learning in the matter of reading the scriptures.

And the two people mentioned by Wang Shi are the two biggest ones in the Great Confucianism - Kong Anguo and Kong Ba!

Kong Anguo is the tenth grandson of Confucius, and Kong Ba is the twelfth grandson of Confucius, but the relationship between the two is not that of grandchildren, but of uncle and nephew.

Kong Ba's grandfather, Kong Wu, is Kong Anguo's elder brother.

This year, Kong Anguo is in his eighties, and Kong Ba is only fifty-five - it is the prime of life.

In the original timeline, it was Emperor Xiaoxuan who gave Kong Jiafeng the Marquis of Guannei - Bao Chengjun.

The first Bao Chengjun was Kong Ba, and at that time, Kong Anguo was already ancient.

But at the end of last year, Liu He directly made the Kong family a liehou-Baocheng Hou, because Kong Anguo was still there, and the first Baocheng Marquis fell to Kong Anguo.

Liu He remembers very clearly, in the original historical timeline, Kong Anguo should have died last year, right?!

"Wang Fu, how old is this Baocheng Marquis this year?" Liu He asked with a hint of luck.

"After all, I'm eighty-two or thirteen years old this year." Wang Shi pinched his fingers and counted.

In the matter of interpreting the Confucian scriptures, living long is the greatest capital - if the peers die, the younger generations dare not offend, and the status will be transcendent.

Just like many contradictory Confucians in later generations, the deceased danced on the mourning hall of the deceased, and the deceased was helpless.

"Bao Chenghou is so old, will he already be ......" Liu He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Could it be that he is already dead?" ”

Wang Shi frowned, he saw the expectation on the face of the Son of Heaven, and mistakenly thought that the latter was cursing Kong Anguo Zao, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The Son of Heaven asked, maybe Meng Lang was a little more vicious.

"Although Bao Chenghou is already in his old age, his health has not been good, and he has not left Qufu for a long time, but Weichen has not received the funeral." Wang Shi replied.

Even if you don't talk about Kong Anguo's status in the Confucian forest, he is already the Marquis of Baocheng by the Son of Heaven at this time, and if he does, he will immediately go to the court.

"Wang Fu, is it possible that the Marquis of Cheng has already died, but the road is far away, and the news of the funeral has not yet come?" Liu He asked expectantly.

"Your Majesty! Cursing people to die violently is not like Renjun! "The unbearable king spoke to the Son of Heaven.

Liu He also realized that his face was a little hateful, and hurriedly coughed twice, restoring the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

"I'm just worried about the body of Bao Chenghou, the old man and the old man." Liu He found a reason and prevaricated with half-truths.

"That's the old minister's vain holy will, Your Majesty don't worry, the old man just received a letter from Kong Ba not long ago...... The body of Bao Chenghou is also mentioned. ”

"After the first emperor's trip last year, Bao Chenghou did fall ill, and he was once critically ill, and the porridge water was difficult to get down, and he was already in danger."

"I didn't expect that after drinking the tea for a few days, it turned out to be better, and the letter said that the Hou Cheng would be able to go to the ground before the year."

"Your Majesty, you came up with this method of drinking tea, and it can be regarded as saving the life of Hou Chenghou." After Wang Shi finished speaking, he took another sip of tea and kept smashing his mouth.

Liu He couldn't say the bitterness in his heart, in order to let the people accept the habit of drinking tea, he sent Yu Wuwu everywhere to spread the saying that "tea can cure all diseases".

Unexpectedly, the Kong family also believed it, and they also hit Kong Anguo, a damned person, back to life and became Liu He's biggest opponent.

Liu He simply lifted a stone and hit his own feet, shattering his teeth and swallowing blood.

But this is also an unavoidable problem, at this time, Liu He, as the Son of Heaven, will affect the general trend of the world.

The course of many things has changed, the fate of many people has changed, and many social conditions have changed.

This means that the situation that Liu He will face will become more and more complicated, and his control of the general trend of the world will become weaker and weaker.

"Wang Fu, in this way, this Marquis of Baocheng will also come to Chang'an?" Liu He asked a little lowly.

"I don't think so, after all, I have just recovered from a serious illness, and I am already in my old age, so I shouldn't move without permission." Wang Shi gave his own judgment.

Hearing this, Liu He's mind calmed down a little.

It's really that Kong Anguo's reputation and talent are too high, at least three or four stories high.

Among the descendants of Confucius, the most talented are Kong Anguo of the Han Dynasty and Kong Yingda of the Tang Dynasty.

Others can only become great Confucians, and Kong Anguo is worthy of the title of a giant Confucian.

As long as this Kong Anguo does not show up in Chang'an City, the pressure on Liu He is much less.

"Wang Fu, tell me again, why is the status of the Marquis of Baocheng so respected." Liu He asked again.

"Bao Chenghou is proficient in various scriptures, and at the age of sixteen, he taught Fu Sheng "Shangshu", and later followed Shen Gong to learn "Lu Shi".

Wang Shi's first sentence made the back of Liu He's head hurt even more, and the brain melon seeds seemed to be about to crack, and they exploded in pain.

Kong Anguo's two teachers alone are legends - not only are they highly educated, but they are also of higher seniority.

Fu Sheng and Shen Gong were both from the Warring States period, and they began to learn Confucianism before Qin unified the Six Kingdoms.

After the Great Qin unified the world, Confucianism was banned, and they dispersed separately - Fu Sheng even served as the first emperor's doctor.

There was the Qin generation, the Confucian classics did not appear, and Confucianism was almost cut off.

During the time of Emperor Xiaowen, Fu Sheng recited the "Book of Shang", and the world had to view the "Book of Shang"; Shen Gong interprets "Lu Poems", and there can be "Lu Poems" in the world.

Without the two of them, I am afraid that there would be no "Shangshu" and "Lu Shi" in the world.

Kong Anguo was able to learn scriptures with the two of them, which shows how high the seniority is.

Chao Cuo, who was also a disciple of Fusheng, was fifty years older than Kong Anguo - that was a figure in the period of Emperor Xiaojing.

If you insist on being a teacher, Kong Anguo is one generation higher than Dong Zhongshu and four generations older than the Son of Heaven.

"It's an old monster." Of course, Liu He only dared to scold in his heart at this sentence.

"In this way, among the scholars, Kong Anguo has a higher rank and status than Xiahou Sheng." Liu He asked.

"Exactly, not only that, Kong Anguo is also editing the ancient scriptures, and I heard that he has achieved a lot." Wang Shi said.

The so-called ancient scriptures are Confucian scriptures written in the six languages and hidden among the people to avoid the Qin fire.

Today's Wenjing is a Confucian scripture passed down by word of mouth by the Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty and written in a popular font.

The two are different in content, but they can reflect each other.

Kong Anguo wanted to revise the ancient scriptures, almost single-handedly re-creating a school of scriptures.

Although this ancient scripture will not be valued until the Later Han Dynasty, it is enough to see the unfathomable depth of Kong Anguo's scholarly attainments.

Fortunately, this old guy is seriously ill and can't come to Chang'an, otherwise a few more Liu He will not be opponents.

"What about Kong Ba?" Liu He asked.

"His father Kong Wu served as a general when Emperor Xiaowen was a general, although he studied under Xiahou Sheng, but since he was a child, he has been familiar with the scriptures, and he should not listen to Xiahou Sheng's dissuasion."

Although Kong Ba's reputation is not as loud as Kong Anguo, in the original timeline, Emperor Xuan of Han once asked him to be prime minister, but he refused to resign.

can be selected as prime minister by Emperor Xiaoxuan, and his academic attainments will not be low.

"Wang Fu, from this point of view, in this debate, Kong Ba is the person who carries the flag of Confucianism." Liu He frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty Shengming, Kong Ba is now fifty-five, he is in the prime of life, he has the most exquisite attainments, and he is a strong enemy of His Majesty." Wang Shi nodded and replied.

Liu He was silent, and after discussing with Wang Shi, many things were about to come out.

Those great Confucians who would appear in the Shiqu Pavilion finally revealed their true faces. (End of chapter)
