"Your Majesty, there are three main doubts. The first is that when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, the forty-seventh generation Yan Shenggong took the inherited treasures of the Confucius family and went south.
When the Jin soldiers went south, in order to show that they were orthodox, they supported a Duke Yansheng. This Duke Yansheng was Kong Fan, the nephew of the 47th generation Duke Yan who stayed in Konglin.
Since then, Yanshenggong of Nanbei and Nanbei appeared. It is not sure whether Kong Fan here is real. "
"The second stage was when the three dynasties of Yanshenggong were established side by side. When the Mongols went south, they found that Yanshenggong was missing, so they simply established another Yanshenggong.
Kong Duanyou was appointed by the Southern Song Dynasty, Kong Yuancuo was established by the Jin Dynasty, and Kong Yuanyong was established by the Mongols. The identities of the latter two are still suspicious. "
“In the fifth year of Emperor Taizong of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols captured Bianliang and captured Kong Yuancuo alive... But Kong Zhen had a problem with his background because his mother remarried...
Emperor Yuan was also annoyed. In a rage, Forty-three did not confer the title of Duke Yan.
Forty-three years later, after another series of complicated operations, Kong Sihui, the eldest grandson of Kong Yuanxiao, was canonized as Duke Yansheng.
The problem arises here. His father’s name was Kong Huan, but there is no record of this person in either Song or Yuan history.
The thousand-year inheritance and hereditary inheritance of the Confucius family has never been interrupted. Why is there no record of Kong Huan?
There is only one guess, that is, Kong Sihui is not a member of the Kong family, but the Yuan Dynasty replaced Kong Sihui with a Mongolian child for the sake of the Kong family's luck. "
"Your Majesty, ancient books say that Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty asked Kong Zhu, the sixth generation of the Southern Sect, Duke Yansheng, to come to the capital and be canonized as Duke Yansheng, but Kong Zhu refused. In order to fool the world, the Yuan Dynasty appointed a Mongolian as Yanshenggong. male."
"Your Majesty, the above are some speculations recorded in several ancient books. I don't know whether they are true or not. The Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy can testify. Please give your Majesty the verdict!"
Chongzhen nodded and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the dragon chair. As a descendant, he had seen some gossip news about the bloodline of the Confucius family.
It is said that through genetic testing, it was discovered that the Kong family has Mongolian genes.
But this does not mean that the Confucius family is Mongolian. After the Xiongnu moved south, the Five Hus devastated China, etc., and the Yuan Dynasty married the children of the clan to the Confucius family to win over the Confucius family, Mongolian genes will also be integrated into it.
But if you go by what Li Ruolian said, then the Kong family really has a problem.
But it doesn't matter whether it's true or false. What's important is that he is very annoyed by the Confucian family, which has become a stumbling block for his cultural reform and so on. He must get rid of it.
"My dear friends, this matter is of great importance, please tell me!"
Tell me?
Everyone secretly complained, can this be said casually?
But don’t talk about it, it seems that I am sorry for Kong Sheng.
Everyone turned their attention to Liu Zongzhou, the Minister of Rites. The Ministry of Rites was in charge of the ritual system of the Five Rites and the method of tribute in schools. It reached the world, guided the people with praise, and spread religion. He was the most qualified among the officials to speak at this moment. of.
Liu Zongzhou seemed to sense the gazes of the ministers behind him, secretly complained a few times, and then left work.
"Your Majesty, I believe that although these ancient books are authentic, the accuracy and authenticity of their contents need to be verified. Should I look for strong evidence before making a decision?"
Look, what is the art of speaking?
What is tact? Official official?
Liu Zongzhou's words fully explained that he recognized the authenticity of ancient books and took care of the emperor's face, but he remained doubtful about the authenticity of the content. He also cited several ancient examples and agreed to continue thorough investigation.
It's almost impossible for both parties to offend.
"What about the others? Do you have anything to say?"
"Your Majesty, I think there is a problem with this book itself. It is not a problem of authenticity, but a problem of confidentiality.
Since it was a plan of the Yuan Dynasty envoy to hide the truth, the fewer people who know about it, the better. Why should it be recorded in ancient books? Is not this contradictory? "
"Your Majesty, I think Master Huang's words are reasonable, but this is really contrary to common sense!"
"Your Majesty, the Confucius family is the holy place for scholars all over the world. It is after Confucius. There is no complete evidence. This will arouse the anger of scholars all over the world."
"Your Majesty, the law has always emphasized the presumption of innocence and the presumption of innocence. It requires a complete chain of evidence, including oral confessions, documentary evidence, physical evidence, witness testimony, inspection conclusions, inspection records, etc. If there is less than one, the case cannot be closed.
Now it’s just an ancient book, I’m afraid it’s hard to convince the world! "
…
With Liu Zongzhou taking the lead, other ministers expressed their opinions one after another. Most of them were officials from the Ministry of Rites, Hanlin Academy, Imperial College, and Supervisory Yuan.
They all hold opposing views, and the reason is that there is no definite evidence.
Chongzhen looked expressionless and said calmly: "Where are the other beloved ministers? Do they all agree to continue the thorough investigation?"
"Your Majesty, I agree with Liu Shangshu's words, but I also want to refute Master Qian's words!"
Yuan Keli stood up, and then looked at Qiao Yunsheng, the Minister of Punishment: "Sir Qiao, just now Mr. Qian said that there is no doubt of the guilt and the presumption of innocence. Do you agree with this?"
"Yes, and also wrong!"
Qiao Yunsheng nodded first, and then shook his head: "Generally, most of the lighter cases are innocent, but major and special cases are subject to an inquisitorial system, and there is a presumption of guilt!"
"In other words, for major cases, the suspect has to prove his innocence. If he cannot prove it, is he guilty?"
"You can say that! Although there are unjust cases, no fish will slip through the net. What I want to emphasize are major cases and special cases, such as rebellion, treason, collaboration with the enemy, etc."
"Your Majesty, I have finished speaking!"
After listening to Qiao Yunsheng's explanation, Yuan Keli saluted Chongzhen and then returned to the class.
The ministers were all stunned, looking at Yuan Keli and Qiao Yunsheng with strange expressions.
The two of them sang and harmonized and got the Kong family into trouble. The major case was the presumption of guilt. So, does the fact that the Kong family has impure blood be considered a major case?
It must be calculated. This matter is much bigger than conspiracy, collaboration with the enemy, etc.
To put it mildly, this is enemy infiltration.
On a larger scale, this is related to the inheritance of Chinese culture for thousands of years.
But can the Kong family prove themselves? how to prove?
If it cannot be proven, then the bloodline is impure, and what is recorded in the ancient books is true.
This is yellow mud falling into the crotch, which is either feces or feces.
"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion!"
Li Ruolian left work: "This matter concerns the scholars of the world. I think it is better to be in vain than to indulge in it, so I will first revoke the title of Yanshenggong and send everyone from the Confucius family to the imperial prison and torture them severely..."
"Commander Li, you have gone too far. All dynasties have consecrated the Confucius family as Yanshenggong, and you ask His Majesty to abolish it. Isn't this making His Majesty bear the infamy of the world's scholars? What are you worried about?"
"Commander Li, you Jinyi Guards are always rough in handling cases, but when it comes to the Kong Mansion, you should be cautious!"
…
"My lords, please don't object in a hurry. This commander will ask your lords a few questions. After you answer them, we will make a decision before it is too late!"
