"Long live Lord, there is absolutely no such thing! Kong Lin has never been robbed... I have never heard of that Yelv Zhu who served as Faqiudalu Huachi. This Yelv Zhu was a famous Confucian in the Yuan Dynasty How could Yelu Chucai's son, who has always been a virtuous man, dig someone's grave? There must be some misunderstanding in this, right?"
Of course Kong Yinzhi could not admit that his ancestral tomb caused the Mongols to defeat him... Moreover, what treasures could there be in Kong Lin? Confucius was not very rich when he died. Even if there were a few things buried with him, they would not be able to get into the eyes of Kublai Khan and Yelu Chucai. Do they have to risk the disapproval of the world and go all the way to Qufu to dig the saint's tomb?
"Kong Maojia, how long are you, Beizong, going to keep this secret!" Kong Zhenyuan, Grand Master Kong who was following Zhu Youjian, spoke angrily when he heard Kong Yinzhi denying that his ancestral grave had been dug.
He has been studying on Qionghua Island for so many years, and he can 100% confirm that the "Posthumous Works of Confucius" is true!
It is impossible to forge the Tao in "The Legacy of Confucius"... It is no exaggeration to say that there are more Tao in this "The Legacy of Confucius" than in the Four Books and Five Classics combined. !
If "The Posthumous Works of Confucius" is forged, then the person who forged this book must be more knowledgeable than Confucius and can definitely be Confucius' teacher!
And such a person cannot exist, so "Confucius' Legacy" is true!
Since the "Posthumous Chapters of Confucius" is true, then it must be true that Zhu Youjian obtained the "Posthumous Chapters of Confucius" from Mongolia - otherwise, where could Zhu Youjian obtain the "Posthumous Chapters of Confucius" from? Secrets in the palace? Impossible, Kong Zhenyuan and Grand Master Kong have already checked. And where can the secrets in the palace come from? Didn’t you get it from Meng Yuan?
As for learning from a teacher? It's impossible, Kong Zhenyuan is Zhu Youjian's teacher, and he is also the chief lecturer.
Private donation of books? Never heard of it either! If this really happened, how could Kong Zhenyuan not know about it? This is the birth of the great road! That is to say, those Mongolians who don't take Confucianism seriously at all will throw "Confucius' Legacy" aside. If the Ming Dynasty succeeded, why not let Korea, Annan, and Japan know about it?
After Kong Zhenyuan used the "deductive method" learned from "The Legacy of Confucius" to deductively reason, there is only one truth!
That is, "The Posthumous Chapters of Confucius" was obtained by Zhu Youjian from the court of Hutu Dun Khan - Hutu Dun Khan's wives and eldest sisters all belonged to Zhu Youjian, and of course the secret collection of books and files also belonged to Zhu Youjian. Among them are the "Posthumous Chapters of Confucius".
So how did "Confucius' Legacy" fall into the hands of the Mongols? That was what Faqiu Daru Hua Chi Yelu Chucai dug up. This also makes sense, because Kublai Khan really has a dark history of fighting against others. His people toppled all the imperial tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty, and even dug out the skull of Lizong of the Song Dynasty and used it as a magical weapon!
He is such a loser!
He could let people defeat the Emperor of Song Dynasty, why couldn't he defeat Kong Lin? He doesn't let anyone fight against him, so where did he get the "Posthumous Chapters of Confucius"?
It is said that Kublai Khan did not know Chinese characters. Even if he did, he probably could not understand "The Posthumous Chapters of Confucius", so he did not know when he got the treasure, so he collected it as an antique and passed it down from generation to generation...until he passed away. Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, who was destined to live up to his destiny, obtained the "Posthumous Chapters of Confucius" in Guiyi City, and this first Confucian classic was able to see the light of day again!
After some deductive reasoning, Master Kong, the "famous detective", has discovered the truth!
There is only one truth, that is, Kublai Khan sent people to defeat the Holy Master, and the Beizong people concealed this matter in order to protect the excuse of "protecting the forest."
If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about Kublai Khan's rebellion, could Beizong still attack Yan Shengdong's title? Why? Just because they will surrender?
And the disciples of Nanzong suffered so much, wasn't it because they lost their direct lineage status and the title of Yan Shenggong?
The more Kong Zhenyuan thought about it, the angrier he became. He raised his hand and pointed at Kong Yinzhi, "I have already verified that "Confucius' Legacy" is true! Because the teachings conveyed in "Confucius' Legacy" are vast and profound. Oh, the great road! The truth of this posthumous chapter is far better than the Four Books and Five Classics. It is actually the first classic of Confucianism. It is definitely the posthumous chapter of the sages who realized the Tao...
The fact that Yelvzhu was granted the title of Qiudalu Huachi and that he presented the "Posthumous Chapters of Confucius" to Kublai Khan is also well-documented! Although Yelu Zhu had read several books by sages, he had absolutely no virtue. But Meng Yuan's lackey Ying Quan who tortured the children of the Han family, what couldn't he do for his master Kublai Khan?
Your Beizong did not protect the tomb of the sage, and also deceived the world for more than three hundred years... How can you have the dignity to seize the position of the head of the Kong family? "
"Master Kong, you can't talk nonsense!" Kong Yinzhi was also anxious, "You can't talk nonsense about ancestral tombs and avenues because of the fight between our northern and southern sects!"
He didn't know anything about Yelu Zhu's excavation of Confucius, and he had never heard of "Confucius' Legacy"... Of course, what he didn't know didn't mean it didn't happen.
If what Kong Zhenyuan said is true, then the ancestors must have kept it under wraps!
Otherwise, the position of Duke Yansheng would have to be replaced during the Hongwu period...Oh, it wouldn't be until the Hongwu period, the Mongols would have to kill people and silence them during the Yuan Dynasty!
"Long live my lord," Kong Yinzhi plopped down and knelt down in front of Zhu Youjian, "What Master Kong said is completely baseless... Kong Lin is there well and has never been stolen or dug up. ah!"
Zhu Youjian sneered: "Isn't Konglin just a forest? After Yelvzhu asked people to dig it out, couldn't they just plant some more trees? This happened hundreds of years ago, who can see that?"
"Long live my Lord..." Kong Yinzhi was really anxious and almost burst into tears. "I have never been poached! I dare to guarantee it with my life!"
Zhu Youjian smiled and nodded: "Mr. Yansheng, I don't want your life...but I can still give you a chance to prove that Mr. Kong is lying!"
Chance? what chance? Kong Yinzhi looked at Zhu Youjian blankly.
Zhu Youjian said: "I did get the "Posthumous Chapters of Confucius" from the Khan's court... Yelvzhu's records of the excavation of the Confucius Forest were also obtained from the Khan's court.
But I am not sure whether the Mongolian records are true or false. I feel that the key to distinguishing authenticity is the authenticity of "The Legacy of Confucius". If the "Posthumous Chapters of Confucius" is true, then the Mongolians cannot be false in saying that it came from Confucius.
Kong Yinzhi, do you think this is true? "
I think you, Long Live Master, are trying to trick me! Kong Yinzhi has guessed the truth that belongs to him!
"Long live my lord...how to distinguish the authenticity of "The Posthumous Chapters of Confucius"?" Kong Yinzhi said, "We cannot rely on Grand Master Kong's one-sided words."
Zhu Youjian said: "Of course I will not just listen to Mr. Confucius's words... I will call all the famous scholars in the world to gather in Yanzhou to distinguish whether the Tao mentioned in "Confucius' Legacy" is true or false?
Letters can be forged, but there is no way to forge the Dao... If most of the Tao preached in "The Legacy of Confucius" are recognized by famous scholars in the world as the true Tao, then "The Legacy of Confucius" is true!
If the Tao in "Confucius' Legacy" is false, then "Confucius' Legacy" is false! Mr. Yan Shenggong, do you think this method of identification is feasible? "
"Yes, it can be done!" Kong Yinzhi gritted his teeth and had no choice but to agree with Zhu Youjian's words.
Although he knew the truth, Kong Yinzhi still held on to the slightest illusion.
Because it is impossible for Zhu Youjian and Kong Zhenyuan, a pair of foolish and treacherous ministers, to come up with any Dao classics comparable to the Four Books and Five Classics... How many Dao classics are there in the Four Books and Five Classics? The "Posthumous Chapters of Confucius" is not to be said to be fake. Even if it is true, there will not be much truth.
However, Kong Yinzhi was still worried about the integrity of the famous Confucian scholars in the world, so he added another sentence: "Long live my Lord, I also hope that "Confucius' Posthumous Works" can be published all over the world... so that scholars all over the world can read it. Look, is the Tao above true or false?”
"Okay!" Zhu Youjian nodded solemnly, "According to your words, while Confucius was discussing Taoism, "Confucius' Posthumous Works" will be published all over the world!"
