"You people want to confuse public opinion and deceive me. I won't argue with you this time, but I will never be lenient to the supporters behind you.
I hereby declare that Kong Yanzhi, the Duke of Yansheng, was immoral, which led to countless disciples of the Confucius family becoming morally corrupt and ignoring laws and disciplines. Kongsheng worshiped me and warned the Confucius family, but the Confucius family still does not repent. _o_m Kong Yanzhi is now dismissed from the post of Duke Yansheng. From now on, there will be no Duke Yansheng in the Kong family.
From now on, children of the Confucius family are not allowed to be officials!
Kong Yanzhi was punished for his immorality and was punished by facing the wall at home for three years.
He also ordered the Kong family to confiscate all their illegal gains over the years. "
Zhu Youjian ordered.
The Kong family still had a great influence on the Ming Dynasty. In the hearts of many scholars, the Kong family's status was especially above that of the emperor himself.
If the Confucius were self-disciplined, then that would be enough.
But the Kong family Yanran became a local disaster.
He oppressed the people, raped women, occupied people's fields, and did countless evil things.
Zhu Youjian cleaned up some garbage from the Kong family before, but the Kong family did not teach them a lesson. Since they did not teach them a lesson, Zhu Youjian naturally had no need to pay attention to them.
Regarding the Kong family, Zhu Youjian would naturally not be so simple. Today, newspapers all over the Ming Dynasty publish a brief history of the Kong family and some cases uncovered by the scum of the Kong family.
A large number of scholars may not believe it, but Zhu Youjian can be sure that most people will have a trace of contempt for the Confucius family.
With this foundation, coupled with the powerful Jinyi Guards and Secret Guards, those scholars cannot make much trouble even if they are dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, you are a foolish king. How do you treat the Kong family like this? How will the scholars in the world think of you!"
An old man knelt down and shouted bitterly.
A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year Confucius family. Although the Kong family did not come forward this time, the Kong family secretly participated in everything.
After all, in the entire Ming Dynasty, only the Kong family was qualified to connect them. Otherwise, given the Han people's infighting character, Zhu Youjian would probably have been buried by the time the boss was chosen.
The old man cried, not because he was really worried about the Kong family, but because he was worried about themselves. After all, the emperor didn't even give face to the Kong family, so how could the emperor give face to other aristocratic families?
"The Confucius family has abandoned the teachings of Confucius, so what's wrong with me cleaning up the family for Confucius?
Kong Sheng was truly benevolent and devoted his life to serving the people, but what about the Kong family? Benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, how many more are there?
When aliens invaded, they fell to their knees faster than anyone else.
In the second year of Zhihe of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty granted the Kong family the title of Duke Yanshenggong. It was good enough for them, but what was the result?
Later, the Song, Jin, and Yuan regimes each had "Yanshenggong", one in Quzhou, one in Kaifeng, and one in Qufu.
After the Song Dynasty moved south, Liu Yu established the puppet Qi regime. In the third year of Fuchang, Kong Fan, the son of Kong Duancao, the younger brother of Kong Duanyou, was made the Duke of Yansheng, and presided over the worship services at the Confucius Temple in Qufu. After the puppet Qi regime was overthrown, Jin Xizong succeeded Kong Fan as Duke Yansheng in the third year of Tianjuan (the third year of Tianjuan).
, the Mongolians raised their troops and went south, Kong Yuancuo moved to Bianjing with the Jin regime, and 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.
Where is the integrity of such a weakling? How much trouble did they bring to Kong Sheng's face, and how much humiliation did they bring to Kong Sheng?
I agree that you respect Confucius as your teacher, but I don’t agree with giving these weaklings and morally disgraceful treatment to Confucius, and neither does Confucius. "
"Confucius was so virtuous, but within a few hundred years the integrity of the Confucius family was completely gone, and now there is not even a tenth of it that is noble in morality. They read this every day; The Analects of Confucius talks about benevolence, justice and morality, and secretly oppresses the people and robs the people. Female. They seized farmland and tarnished the reputation of Kong Sheng everywhere. Why, because of their noble status, each of them dared to take office, even if the evidence of guilt was conclusive. The officials who judged the other side still protected the other side on the grounds that the other soldier was a descendant of Kong Sheng and could not commit a crime.
If the Kongsheng family is like this, you should understand why I am so cruel to the officials.
In my opinion, most crimes are caused by the fact that the cost of crime is too low, so low that those people don't care at all, or they are powerful enough to trample on the law.
All the officials and I talk about benevolence and righteousness, but to these beasts, who talks about benevolence and righteousness to the people who are oppressed by them?
Be benevolent and righteous to corrupt officials. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
557 Removing Yan Shenggong
, when the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, and only ten of the people are slaughtered, who will talk about benevolence and righteousness to these people? "
"There are laws to follow, laws must be followed, violations must be investigated, and law enforcement must be strict! Only then can courtesy be spread throughout the world, instead of being difficult to practice.
"
"Today's newspaper published a brief history of the Kong family and some of the crimes committed by the Kong family. After you read it, think about it in another person's shoes. If the victim were you, how would you feel when faced with such a situation?
Confucius once said, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you."
Only by thinking more, thinking more about others, and the people who are being oppressed by you can you avoid many problems, instead of just saying it with your mouth and doing all kinds of evil things behind your back for your own benefit. "
"It's over, the Ming Dynasty is about to change." The onlookers shouted.
"I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. The violent Qin Dynasty who pursued the rule of law in history perished in two generations!"
"Fart, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not fall. In the past, when we were doing business, in addition to paying taxes, we also had to be harassed by local gangsters. Sometimes, some officials and second-generation officials would not only eat food, but also take it away. Quite a few things.
If we were dissatisfied, they would slap our booth but no one would take care of it. But have you ever seen ruffians looking for trouble?
Have you ever seen second-generation officials and officials eating and drinking for free? "A hawker said.
"That's right, why are we still waiting for those local gangsters to come and cause trouble? Not only can we have a few days of rest, but we can also get three times the income."
Zhu Youjian's reforms benefited these well-to-do people. They were not heartless guys who studied, so they naturally cared about Zhu Youjian's excellence.
As for Yan Shenggong, who is that? What's that?
"When the Ming Dynasty was founded, the tax revenue did not exceed 50 million taels of silver. The Ming Dynasty had been benevolent and righteous to all its officials for hundreds of years. By the time I came to the throne, the tax revenue did not exceed 5 million taels of silver. Not only that, there are countless tax arrears in various places in the south of the Yangtze River.
During this period, the population of the Ming Dynasty increased at least five times, tax revenue was indeed less than one-tenth of its original value, and the tax pressure on ordinary people increased several times.
Under the strength of the troops guarding the border, the firecrackers made by the government were not meant to kill the enemy, but to kill one's own people.
I have been kind and righteous to you during this period. This is how you repay Ming Dynasty. If this continues, how can Ming Dynasty not be done with it? . "Zhu Youjian said...
