There is something unusual in Qufu County today. At noon, a large number of begging refugees suddenly appeared in the city. Shandong Province was the first to bear the brunt of the drought locust plague. Although they were lucky enough to escape the scourge of the war, there were many people who were homeless and had no food to eat. They were busy farming and free. It was very common to go into the city to beg and hang around in front of the houses of wealthy people (this was also the case in the 1970s and 1980s).
But today there are a lot more of them, there are hundreds of them in groups.
It would be fine if they were just begging honestly, but after entering the city, these people went straight to the gate of Duke Yansheng's Mansion on the east side of the Confucius Temple and shouted for food.
Normally, there would be beggars in front of Yan Shenggong's house, and the house would also give out some steamed buns, leftovers, rice, etc., but I had never seen so many people come together to beg forcibly, and the leader was a Taoist priest with an immortal style.
What was even more amazing was that before the people from the Confucius Mansion came out to calm things down, a great monk who came from nowhere couldn't stand it anymore and angrily scolded the Taoist and others for this disrespectful behavior. How can they act wild in front of the saint's door?
However, the Taoist's discourtesy was still behind him. He pointed at the gate of Confucius' Mansion and yelled: "As a saint, you should have mercy on the common people. However, he did not care about the life and death of the people in the year of disaster. It is in vain to be called a saint."
The Kong Mansion is a famous family in the local area, as high as the sky, and the people naturally believe that it is sacred and cannot be desecrated. But today, I suddenly heard someone yelling so loudly. In addition to being surprised, I also had a sense of watching the excitement. To put it simply, hatred The psychology of wealth has existed since ancient times!
"Saints are given by the imperial court. This has been the case for thousands of years. You crazy Taoist doesn't hesitate to speak..." the monk angrily reprimanded, which angered the Taoist even more: "I dare to ask what this so-called saint has done for thousands of years. Sacrament? Damn, I’m just a slave who surrenders to whomever he wants, a slave of the world cultivator... A slave to the seventy-sixth dynasty and a minister to the second dynasty of the twenty-seventh dynasty. Can he be called a saint? It’s nothing more than a servant. They are just a family of mascots used by successive dynasties to rule and fool the common people..."
Naturally, Li Muchian learned this from Chang Yu.
So the monk fell silent, the voices of the refugees and beggars became louder, and the onlookers began to whisper. The Confucius family that they had always respected unexpectedly... Although Master Kong was a true saint, his descendants... this damn thing, isn't it? A capricious traitor? And ethics and integrity?
Is this guy still worthy of respecting the world and being respected by all people? Are you worthy enough to educate all peoples in benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, trust, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and brotherhood?
This was Yan Shenggong before the Qing Dynasty. During the period of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, more disgusting things happened. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he wrote in the "First Advancement Biaowen": It is the first time to enjoy good fortune, and all countries admire the rule of the Reform. The principle is upright and the benevolence of Jiuzhong Honggengshi is great. He led his country back to the city, and everyone celebrated. Honor your Majesty the Emperor, inherit the heavens and protect the heavens, and use virtue to appease the people. He was the first to appear in association with Rui Tu, and the six universes shared the divine monarch; he became famous in the world and became the Holy Emperor of Xiange. The mountains and rivers shine with the sun and the moon; the country and the sky share eternity. The ministers and other scholars have established scholars in the palace, and the seals are slightly broken. In the past, they inherited the special kindness of the past generations, and today they celebrate the prosperity of the new dynasty. Looking at the admiration of the sacred learning, one is staggering and fearful; looking up at the greatness of the emperor, one feels deep admiration. May the quality of jade be prosperous and keep in mind the sincerity of heaven's heart; the whole world be consolidated to celebrate the spiritual growth of the country. The ministers and others are not allowed to pay homage to Bian Wuping Camp. I sincerely wish you to learn more
The content is extremely flattering and shameless.
"Shang Shao Zuo Manuscript": The memorial is to drink and worship the holy edict, and to comply with the shaving matters: On the 12th of the leap month of June this year, the Shandong Fu case was transferred to the minister, and the minister immediately gathered the family members and chose the 26th day. An incense table was set up and the edict was read out. Together with Kong Yinchun, the Shizhi magistrate of Qufu County, Kong Yinyu, Yan Shaoxu, Zeng Wenda, and Zhong Zibi, hereditary Five Classics doctors of the Hanlin Academy, Wang Shilu, professor of the Fourth Family Studies, Kong Wenran, academic record, Kong Xingrong, academic record of Nishan Academy, and Zhusi Academy scholar He recorded Kong Shangcheng, and supervised the subordinate officials such as Gou Tianshen, Chen Yongan, the music director, Gui Cunzheng, the bookkeeper, Tian Shiwang, the editor, Chen Yiyuan, Zhang Yingdeng, the accompanying officer Yang Yuanzhao, the temple householder Chen Sanyou, and the tenant Yang Yuanxiang, etc. In obedience to the holy edict, everyone shaved their heads. In addition to repeatedly moving the text to Shandong and pressing it, the rationale is combined with the instrument, and Fu Wei shines brightly. I was extremely frightened and trembled when I came to the memorial, so I wrote this memorial to hear about it.
The ugly posture of kneeling and licking is vividly displayed on the page.
As for the ugliness during the Anti-Japanese War, it is too numerous to describe, and it is shameless and extreme. Interested readers can check it out online.
Look, this is Duke Yansheng, who was honored by all the imperial courts. In the Ming Dynasty, the respect for Confucius and Confucianism reached an unprecedented height, and the status of the Confucius family was also unprecedented. The head of the family, Kong Yinzhi, was named the prince and Taifu, with an official rank of up to the first rank, more than six tribes. Shangshu, ranked first among the civil servants in the court.
What can be exchanged for?
Throughout the ages, the lineage of Yan Shenggong has been supreme, but who would have thought that today there would be a group of people leading more than a hundred refugees to block the door and curse, and... the curse was actually so reasonable, even the great monk who originally scolded him. They were all speechless and even began to echo what the Taoist said.
The onlookers began to whisper and became noisy, and even started to argue with the servants of the Confucius family. What was even more amazing was that a nun suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The three of them sang in harmony and the noise became louder and louder, causing the people to get more and more excited. More and more people came, and the door of Confucius Mansion was crowded.
This matter soon reached the ears of the contemporary Yanshenggong Kong Yinzhi, who ordered the servants to bow first and then fight. They invited the three monks, nuns, and Taoists to the house. If they did not comply, they would be driven away.
As expected, the three people refused, so the servant was about to drive them away, but suddenly a cloud of white mist rose up. When the smoke dissipated, the three people had disappeared. Yes, they disappeared in broad daylight in full view of everyone.
Wow, the gods have appeared, and the Kong Mansion has offended the gods...
Yes, yes, even gods can’t stand what the Confucius did...
Yes, let this bastard saint open a granary to stock up on food...
The refugees and the common people unknowingly stood on the same front, and soon the entire Qufu County was in a state of excitement. Almost all the streets and alleys were talking about what the monk and nun said, which was to arrange the various evils of the Confucius family, such as domestic slaves and lackeys. Virtue is not worthy of its place. You are seeking fame and reputation, but you are shameless...
The Kong family never expected that something like this would happen today. Faced with the angry outcry among the refugees, they had no choice but to promise alms while quickly asking for help from the county magistrate.
In fact, the refugees blocking the door to ask for food and causing trouble is nothing. At present, the negative public opinion against the Kong family is intensifying. This is the biggest headache for Yan Shenggong's house.
Who is so shameless that he suddenly lifted the fig leaf that had been covering the Confucius Mansion for more than 800 years? How will the Confucius Mansion be seen in the future?
While the Kong family was busy dealing with the situation, in the woods a few miles north of the city, Chang Yu was sleeping in a dark place, unaware that rumors were flying all over Qufu City at this time.
In the afternoon, Chang Yu woke up from the heat. He looked around and saw that most of the guards were getting up, either leaning on tree trunks to enjoy the cool, or in a daze. The scorching sun was above their heads, and all the vegetation was withering.
Kuang Ren came over with a water bag: "Mr. Factory, Taoist priest Fang and the others came back just now. They saw you sleeping soundly and couldn't disturb you. They left a message and then left."
"Oh, what words did you leave?" Chang Yu took the water bag and took a sip.
"Taoist leader Fang said that since he had done it, he should go ahead and make it bigger. He would go to the surrounding areas to build momentum. He would first light up the fire in the 23 counties in the four prefectures of Yanzhou Prefecture. He also suggested that the factory official send people to the capital and Nanzhili to build momentum so that It’s easy to get away afterwards.” Kuang Ren said quickly.
Chang Yu pondered, he understood what Li Muxian meant, first let the Confucius Mansion's backyard catch fire, and then he took advantage of the fire. Under the pressure of public opinion, the Confucius Mansion would definitely choose to be nice to it. Even if he wanted to retaliate afterwards, the public opinion of the whole country had already changed. , there may even be a Ming Dynasty version of the hole-removing movement. The Kong family has no time to take care of itself, and can only suffer a loss.
"What's going on in Qufu City right now?" Chang Yu asked again.
"Ji Zhi did not enter the city, but I heard from a Taoist priest that it has achieved results. The city was very lively. When they left the city, hundreds of people were making trouble in front of the Confucius Mansion. There were even more people watching the commotion... and they added fuel and jealousy to the story, saying it was magical. Even the gods can’t bear to look down on the fame and reputation the Kong family has had over the years..."
Good guy, to do this kind of thing these days, it is really best to be a monk or nun, otherwise all the rebels will just pretend to be religious and make trouble.
Now Chang Yu is even more worried that Li Muxian and the other two people have not created enough momentum, and accidentally ignited a spark and caused a riot, because the people at this time were too poor and miserable, and they were holding their breath in their hearts. As long as there is someone who takes the lead Yes, if there is an opportunity, they will rise up.
This is not an exaggeration at all. Think about the time when I first met Li Muxian, who was bewitching refugees in Zhending Mansion. In just a few days, he gathered tens of thousands of people, and was even used as gunmen by officers and soldiers to besiege Zhending Mansion.
People are so hungry and anxious that they dare not do anything.
"The heat is not enough right now, let's go to other big households to catch the autumn breeze first." Chang Yu smiled slightly and asked Kuang Ren to send orders to his men to prepare to break camp. He also called in a few personal guards to warn them, and asked them to contact the nearest Jin Yiwei to immediately go south and north to carry out their tasks. .
Dongchang and Jinyiwei are both intelligence agencies, and they are better at manipulating public opinion. Chang Yu believes that within five days, the remarks against the Kong family in the two capitals and several provinces will soon hit the headlines and hit the hot searches.
