“Some people think that I opened the Royal Academy and recruited officials from it for the sake of nepotism. This is a frame-up and a deliberate attempt to slander my reputation.
I have carefully reflected on the current imperial examination system. People who passed the imperial examination are indeed talented, and there are many who wrote poems. But is this necessary for governing a place?
No - no need.
Some officials in charge of agriculture are well-read in classics, but very few of them have ever worked in the fields themselves.
Some of those who directed the battle even boasted to the sky, only to be completely defeated.
Some officials from the Ministry of Industry don't know how to do anything, and they only know how to flatter and dominate.
Moreover, the benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust taught by Confucianism have all become their tools to deceive the emperor and bully the people. Such officials are a disaster for the people and the court. The court does not need them, and neither do the people. First update@
I have divided the Royal Academy into multiple departments according to the types required by officials. Teach them basic skills, things they need to do as officials, and what to do when they encounter certain situations. "Zhu Youjian said that although the establishment of the Royal Academy did mean to suppress the Confucian family, Zhu Youjian was not a fool, and the impact on the Confucian family was still clear.
In recent years, the Confucius family has been suppressed openly and covertly, and in the name of Confucius, some people of the Confucius family who violated laws and disciplines have been severely punished. However, Napo's evidence is conclusive. In the minds of those scholars, Zhu Youjian is nothing to trouble.
Some officials even publicly supported the Kong family.
In addition, these local powerful people despised the so-called public opinion on the street, and the Kong family also got involved.
With all this, Zhu Youjian was already dissatisfied with the Kong family.
Since the other party is seeking death, Zhu Youjian will not coddle him.
All officials were appointed by people from the Royal Academy, not only to cultivate suitable talents, but also to cut off the foundation of the Kong family who were in the court.
If it weren't for the lack of time now, Zhu Youjian would directly abolish Kong Jiayan Shenggong.
I don't really like Zhu Youjian of the Kong family. After all, the Kong family is basically a capitulation faction.
The title of "Yanshenggong" began in the Song Dynasty of China in the 11th century AD, and was abolished by the government of the Republic of China in 1935. The Kong family of Qufu has inherited the title of "Yanshenggong" for a total of 880 years.
In the second year of Zhihe in the Song Dynasty (1055), Wu Ze, the ancestor of Dr. Taichang, wrote to Emperor Renzong: "According to previous history, those who succeeded Confucius were called Baocheng, Baozun, Zongsheng in the Han and Wei dynasties, and Fengsheng in the Jin and Song Dynasties. In the later Wei Dynasty, it was called Chongsheng, in the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was called Gongsheng, in the Later Zhou Dynasty and Sui Dynasty, it was granted the title of Zou State, and in the early Tang Dynasty, it was called Praise of Saints. In the middle of Kaiyuan Dynasty, Confucius was posthumously named King Wenxuan and later Duke Wenxuan. The posthumous title of ancestor is not allowed. And add descendants. "The meaning is: During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Confucius was given the posthumous title of "King Wenxuan", and the descendants of Confucius were given the title of "King Wenxuan". It is not allowed to add the posthumous title of his ancestor Confucius to the descendants of Confucius. It should be corrected . ("History of Song Dynasty: Book of Etiquette·Bin Li 4")
Song Renzong adopted this suggestion and "then issued an edict to Si Ding to enshrine the title of the Holy Duke and make it hereditary." The edict said: "After Confucius, he was praised by titles of nobility, which continued from generation to generation, but his origin was far away. Since Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, he was granted the title of Duke. In order to praise the emperor, he was enshrined in his honor. When Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, he was granted the title of Marquis of Baocheng, and he was posthumously named Confucius as Duke Xuanni of Baocheng. Baocheng, his country; Xuanni, his posthumous title; Duke, his title. .Although later generations have changed it differently, their meaning has not been lost.
In the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty (713-741), Confucius was posthumously named Wenxuan and given the title of king, and his heir Baoshenghou was named Wenxuan Gong. The descendants of the Confucius family went to the country to take the posthumous title, and the loss of etiquette began from this time. I reviewed the pre-examination training and gathered extensive opinions from the public, all of which concluded that it is appropriate to uphold the old traditions of the Han Dynasty and revolutionize the mistakes of the Tang Dynasty. I remember that the late emperor advocated Confucianism and visited the temple in person, so I gave him the title of Supreme Saint, in order to show his utmost respect. I am here to compile and follow my ancestors' will, respect Confucianism and Taoism, and dare not miss the mark. However, it is not important to give the title of heir to his descendants! It is better to change it to Kong Zongyuan, the forty-sixth generation grandson of King Wenxuan of the Supreme Saint, as Yanshenggong. "
In the 11th century AD, Emperor Song Renzong of China's Song Dynasty was given the title of "Yanshenggong". Although his official rank was not high, his cultural content was very rich. Compared with previous titles such as "Bon Cheng", "Bang Zun", "Zong Sheng", "Feng Sheng", "Chong Sheng", "Gong Sheng" and "Bang Sheng" etc. The highest realm.
After the title "Yanshenggong" came out, the Jurchens and Mongols rushed to steal it to win people's hearts. In the 12th century AD, the Song, Jin and Yuan regimes each had "Yanshenggong", one in Quzhou, one in Kaifeng and one in Qufu. In the third year of Song Chongning (1104), the imperial edict was issued. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

It was announced that Lang Kong Duanyou would be granted the title of Feng Shenggong (renamed Yanshenggong during the Daguan period (1107-1110)) as Tongzhilang and Zhimi Pavilion, and he was still allowed to be promoted to Guan to show his respect for the award. In the second year of Shaoxing (1132), Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, the forty-ninth generation grandson Kong Jie attacked and granted the title of Shenggong. Afterwards, Yijie, Yiwenyuan, Yiwanchun, and Yizhu, until the end of the Song Dynasty, all took over the title of chief worshiper. After the Yuan Dynasty unified China in the 13th century, the Mongolian rulers tried to bribe Kong Zhu, the sage of Song Yan, but Kong Zhu used Confucian wisdom to escape. At the beginning of the 14th century, Emperor Renzong of the Yuan Dynasty restored the title of Duke Yansheng to the direct eldest grandson of the Kong family in Qufu, confirming that "those who should be granted the title as direct successors are thinking about it". ("History of the Yuan Dynasty·Kong Sihui") Both the Ming and Qing dynasties continued to use this title.
Also after Kong Duanyou, due to the disputes in the Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties, the descendants of Confucius were canonized into the Southern Sect and the Northern Sect. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Jurchen tribe went south, and Zhao Gou crossed the river and established the Southern Song Dynasty regime in Lin'an. Kong Duanyou moved south with Emperor Gaozong in the second year of Jianyan (1128 AD) and settled in Quzhou (today's Quzhou, Zhejiang Province). He became the Nanzong. Later, those who were granted the title of Duke Yan by the Southern Sect included Kong Jie, Kong Tie, Kong Wenyuan, Kong Wanchun, Kong Zhu and others.
After the Song Dynasty moved south, Liu Yu established the puppet Qi regime. In the third year of Fuchang (AD 1132), Kong Fan, the son of Kong Duancao, the younger brother of Kong Duanyou, was granted the title of Duke Yansheng, and he presided over the sacrifices at the Confucius Temple in Qufu. After the puppet Qi regime was overthrown, Jin Xizong succeeded Kong Fan as the Duke of Yansheng in the third year of Tianjuan (1140 AD). Later, Kong Zheng, Kong Li, Kong Yuancuo and others attacked and granted the title of Duke Yansheng, who was the Northern Sect. .
Later, as the Mongols raised their troops and moved southward, Kong Yuancuo moved to Bianjing with the Jin regime. His brother Kong Yuanyong presided over the worship services at Qufu Confucius Temple. The Mongols occupied Qufu and successively named Kong Yuanyong and Kong Zhiquan as their father and son. In this way, the three dynasties of Song, Jin and Yuan came together, each with a Duke Yan. In the fifth year of Emperor Taizong of the Yuan Dynasty (1233 AD), the Mongolian cavalry captured the capital of Jin and Bian. The Jin Dynasty granted Yanshenggong Kong Yuancuo the title of Yanshenggong. Kong Yuancuo was still granted the title of Yanshenggong by the Yuan regime, but Kong Yuancuo was granted the title of Qufu instead. make. Beizong Kong Yuancuo had no children, so he was succeeded by Kong Zhen, the grandson of his younger brother Kong Yuanzui. In the first year of Xianzong of Yuan Dynasty (AD 1251), Kong Zhen attacked and granted the title of Duke Yan. Later, Kong Zhi, the son of Kong Zhiquan, the Holy Duke of Qufu who had been entrusted by the Yuan Dynasty, led the Kong clan to write to the emperor, saying that Kong Zhen did not perform ancestral sacrifices and was not a descendant of the Kong family, but was the son of Kong Yuanqi, Kong Zhigu. He was born in a side room, and his biological mother had already remarried to the Li family of Xukou. Kong Zhen once took the surname of Li, so he could not be a member of the Kong family. In the second year of Xianzong (AD 1252), the emperor issued an edict to remove Kong Zhenyan from the title of Holy Duke. Thereafter, no new Duke Yan was appointed for quite some time. In 1279 AD, after the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, Kongzhu, the 52nd grandson of Yanshenggong, returned to the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty was unified. Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, visited the eldest son of the descendant of Confucius in the 19th year of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1282). He once called Kong Zhu to the capital. Kong Zhu gave way to the eldest son of Qufu. Kublai Khan greatly appreciated Kong Zhu and said "She is the empress of a true saint." So he ordered Kong Zhu to serve as the Imperial Academy's sacrificial minister, chief executive, and to promote school affairs in eastern Zhejiang. He was given the title of protector of the Linmiao Seal and was exempted from the title of Yanshenggong. .
At this time, both Yanshenggong of the Southern and Northern Sects were dismissed. More than ten years later, in the first year of Yuanzhen (AD 1295) of Yuanchengzong, Kong Zhiquan, the eldest son of Kong Zhiquan, served as a priest for more than 30 years and was granted the title of Duke Yansheng by imperial edict. . This ended the coexistence of the two sects for more than a hundred years. In the second year of Yanyou (AD 1315) of Emperor Renzong of the Yuan Dynasty, the Kong family wrote to the emperor again, saying that Kong Zhi's son Kong Sicheng was a common branch. Emperor Renzong sent minister Yuan Mingshan to investigate and personally checked the Kong family genealogy and determined that the eldest son's successor should be Kong Sihui. Kong Sihui and Kong Sicheng are both the seventh-generation grandsons of Kong Ruoyu, the third son of Kong Zongyuan, the 45th generation. Kong Sihui is the eldest grandson of Kong Yuanxiao, the eldest son of Kong Fu, the 49th generation grandson. Kong Sicheng is the eldest grandson of Kong Yuanyong, the second son of Kong Fu. Therefore, Yuan Renzong In the third year of Yanyou (AD 1316), Kong Sicheng was deposed and Kong Sihui was granted the title of Duke Yan. He was awarded the rank of Zhongyi Dafu and was promoted to the fourth rank. From then on, the position of Duke Yansheng continued in this lineage.
In the first year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1644 AD), the Qing Shizu recognized all the privileges enjoyed by Yanshenggong in the Ming Dynasty. Kong Yanzhi, the sixty-fourth generation Yanshenggong, still served as Yanshenggong and the crown prince and tutor. @essence\/书馆*First update~~When he met with Emperor Yanshenggong, he was still listed above the cabinet ministers.
The close relationship between Yan Shenggong and the imperial court reached its peak in the Qianlong period. Emperor Qianlong visited Qufu many times and awarded the emperor with plaques such as "Join the Heaven and Earth", "At the moment of neutrality", "Become a long-lasting", and rebuild the Lingxing Gate. , change wood into stone. There are many speculations about the close relationship between Emperor Qianlong and the Confucius family, including Yu, the first-class wife of Kong Xianpei, the 71st generation of Yanshenggong, who has no descendants. She has a close relationship with Emperor Qianlong. It is widely rumored in the Confucius family that Yu is the daughter of Emperor Qianlong. According to research, she was the adopted daughter of Emperor Qianlong (the daughter of official Yu Minzhong). . (This chapter is not finished yet!)

Later, during the Daoguang period, the Mu'entang, a special temple for worshiping the Yu family, was built on Kongfu East Road. After Yu Minzhong was dismissed from office, many of his descendants also lived in Confucius' mansion.
If the Kong family didn't surrender to the foreign race, that would be fine. But historically, the Kong family was too clever and became expensive too quickly. It makes me shudder to think about whether this family is called Yanshenggong or the pillar of hundreds of officials. . @精品\/书馆*First update~~
