"General Zuo, this is a rebellious move. Please act impartially and uphold the laws and regulations."
Duke Yan was expelled, and Lu Xiangsheng couldn't sit still.
He found Zuo Mengeng, hoping that someone could seek justice.
"Why is this a perverse move? This is obviously a spontaneous choice made by the people. They have realized the importance of resisting oppression, and they long for a better life. Who dares to go against the will of the people?"
Lu Xiangsheng was furious and emphasized: "Is that the descendant of Duke Sheng, the descendant of Confucius?"
Zuo Mengeng pointed to the vast Qufu County and the misty and prosperous smoke.
"Aren't these people descendants of Confucius?"
Lu Xiangsheng was at a loss for words. He found that he could not beat Zuo Mengeng once.
He didn't know that this situation only happened because he was a good official and a good person.
He at least still has the most basic morality in his heart, and he also understands the importance of people's hearts.
Zuo Menggeng spoke righteously.
"Even these descendants of Confucius do not support the so-called Xinyan Holy Duke. What does it mean? It means that this is chaos and unpopular. This is a perverse move, and it is also one of the causes of the chaos in today's world. "
He carried a gun and a stick, and used this incident to attack the court.
Lu Xiangsheng tried his best to mediate and threatened: "General Zuo, isn't he afraid that the world will criticize him?"
"Why can't I see that the people of the world will criticize each other with words and writings? Or the people of the world as Mr. Lu calls them are the decadent old feudal literati like you? The real people of the world have long been completely disappointed with this dynasty. They are resisting and expressing themselves The sound. And if you wait, you can only linger, and sooner or later you will be wiped out."
Zuo Mengeng, who has seen the ups and downs of later generations, doesn't know how far he can go compared to Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't defeat him at all, so he had to ask: "How does General Zuo plan to deal with the matter of Yan Shenggong?"
Zuo Mengeng is not satisfied.
"This is caused by the chaos of the imperial court, and it should naturally be handled by the imperial court. What happens to this place depends entirely on the wishes of the local Kong clan."
The carefully selected representatives of the Kong family came and presented the results Zuo Mengeng wanted.
"Commander, we, the ancestors of the Confucius family, pioneered civilization and proclaimed their merits to all generations. They are admired by the world and must not be ignored. The common people and others kindly request the commander-in-chief to erect a monument for my ancestors to be passed down to all generations. It is also for my descendants of the Confucius family to pay their respects and pay homage. worship."
Kong Shi and this original tenant rose quickly and were already quite prestigious among the remaining Kong clan members.
He stood up and conveyed what everyone wanted.
Yanshenggong's mansion is gone, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, when Duke Yan Sheng's Mansion was there, everyone didn't get any benefits, but instead were exploited.
It's not like now, when everyone is assigned a house or land, and good days are just around the corner.
But Qufu cannot live without the glory of the most holy teacher.
This is the aura of the Kong family and their capital that makes them proud in the world.
In the past, only Yanshenggong and his family were the ones who bathed in the kindness of the most holy teacher. Now, all the tribesmen hope to receive this favor.
The best way is to build a new Confucius Temple.
A Confucius temple where all members of the Kong clan can enter to worship.
"you……"
Lu Xiangsheng was allowed to attend the discussion. Seeing the thoughts of the Kong clan, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Zuo Mengeng didn't agree with this idea either.
"Is the Holy Master only your ancestor? He is also the teacher of all generations and the totem of China. The matter of paying homage to the Holy Master is not a matter for your family, but for the whole world."
This is what sets the tone.
The door adjustment is very good and absolutely ZZZQ.
No one who listened could find anything wrong.
Everyone applauded and waited for the follow-up.
Liu Zongzhou was responsible for this follow-up.
"I have made an agreement with the Administrative Committee to allocate one million taels of silver to completely rebuild the Confucius Temple and build a museum of the Most Holy Master. This museum can not only be used by the Confucius family to worship their ancestors, but also scholars from all over the world can enter and admire their ancestors. Master's style. If this is accomplished, the virtues of our ancestors will be passed down through the ages and will be immortal!"
Generous.
Absolutely generous.
Although it cannot be compared with the more than six million taels of silver used by Tianqi to rebuild the three main halls, spending so much money to rebuild the Confucius Temple is definitely an unprecedented feat.
Moreover, Liu Zongzhou's proposal raised this matter to a higher level.
In the past, when talking about the sage teachers, the first thing many people thought of was the Kong family.
The Kong family has also become the spokesperson of Confucius in reality.
This understanding is also an important reason why the Confucius family has the right to speak.
Therefore, as long as the rulers of the past dynasties win over the Kong family, it is equivalent to gaining the allegiance of the entire Shilin family.
Now Liu Zongzhou distinguishes between Confucius and the Kong family.
Confucius is Confucius, the sage teacher who founded Confucianism and opened up a culture for all generations.
As for the Kong family...
Yes or no.
It does not affect the respect and recognition of Confucius.
To put it bluntly, it is still the theory Zuo Mengeng mentioned before.
Since Confucius has become a god, he cannot be in the human world.
After eliminating the Kong family, the spokesperson of Confucius, we have great freedom in how to interpret Confucius's teachings.
Various measures taken by Shandong...
Distributing benefits to the collateral clan members of the Kong clan, establishing a Confucius museum, remodeling the Confucius temple, etc., may appear to be honoring Confucius, but in fact they are enshrining Confucius on a altar and keeping him away from the human world.
So from now on, when we try to explain Confucianism, there will be no obstruction or questioning from the Confucius who stand on the side of the old feudal forces.
The New Confucianism explained in Shandong will be able to gain greater recognition and speak for its own interests.
As for Yan Shenggong, who was newly canonized by the imperial court...
This is something that the Kong clan doesn’t recognize. What does it have to do with Shandong?
Shandong did not prevent him from taking office.
Using insidious and destructive methods one by one, Zuo Menggeng, Liu Zongzhou and others began to attack Confucianism to expand their own ideological voice.
In the future, when I debate with the feudal defenders, I will no longer have so many constraints.
Lu Xiangsheng didn't notice at all that the eyes of Liu Zongzhou, Jiang Cai, Jiang Gai and others were full of blazing flames.
It is a raging fire that burns away all old things.
In order to achieve this goal, although the cost of one million taels is high, everyone unanimously believes that this price is worth it.
The administrative committee acted quickly and determined the foot of Hujia Mountain as the site for the Confucius Museum.
Together with Nishan Holy Land, Confucius Cave, Confucius Temple, etc., a museum covering a very large area has been built.
By then, a fifty-meter-tall steel-coated statue of Confucius will be located in the square.
Although it cannot be compared with the one in later generations, it is definitely shocking enough at this time.
As for the Confucius Mansion in Qufu City...
Huang Zongyan directly ordered the entire building to be demolished on the grounds that it was severely damaged and there was no one to inherit it.
Except for the classics and cultural relics preserved by Kong that could be found, all other traces had been completely removed.
The houses that were promised to be built for the surviving members of the Kong clan were chosen to be located on this piece of land.
The people of the Kong clan who are still alive don't know what all this means. It's too late to be happy when they see their vast house.
