Xu Youzhen arrived in Caoxian County.
Of course, at this time, Caoxian had not yet met that Fengxiao, nor had it developed into the center of the universe.
In Xu Youzhen's view at this time, it was just an ordinary small county town.
And Xu Youzhen did not stop advancing in Caoxian and continued to rush to Qufu.
Hundreds of royal guards escorted Xu Youzhen's carriage through Caoxian County.
The prefect's Yamen in Qufu had already been notified.
The censor of Xudu is coming, so preparations have been made in advance.
The road from Kaifeng to Qufu was very smooth, but Xu Youzhen's heart was full of ups and downs.
Along the way, he kept thinking about how he could do it smoothly.
His Majesty the Emperor wants Yansheng Gong to give up the fertile land that does not belong to him.
It can be hard.
That's the Confucian Temple, that's Yan Shenggong.
If you don't perform well on your own, it's not as simple as writing pornographic jokes to disgust yourself in Shilin.
They will blame themselves.
In fact, to be honest, Xu Youzhen had nothing to say about the Kong family, and he looked down upon the Kong family.
The ugliness of the northern and southern sects, and their subservience to foreigners, were Xu Youzhen's first impression of Duke Yan's Mansion.
The ugliness of the two sects in the north and south is that after the Jingkang Revolution in the Song Dynasty and the move to the 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, the Yanshenggong of the Song Dynasty, was granted the title of Yanshenggong. , presided over the worship services at the Confucius Temple in Qufu. After the puppet Qi regime was overthrown, Jin Xizong succeeded Kong Fan as Yanshenggong in the third year of Tianjuan. Later, Kong Zheng, Kong Li, Kong Yuancuo, etc. attacked Yanshenggong. For Beizong.
Zhao Gou crossed the river and established the Southern Song Dynasty regime in Lin'an. The main leader, Yanshenggong Kong Duanyou, moved south with Gaozong in the second year of Jianyan and settled in Quzhou, which was called Nanzong.
The Northern and Southern Sects have been separated for more than a hundred years, each presiding over their own sacrifices...
After the Mongolian army went south, the Jin Kingdom was defeated, and Beizong Yanshenggong followed the Jin regime to Kaifeng.
And the Mongols named another Yanshenggong. In the context of the northern and southern sects, three Yanshenggong briefly appeared, and they were all descendants of Confucius. This is a shame that is difficult to wash away.
I am not speaking for saints, I am speaking for people in power. Even if you are a foreigner, as long as you are good to me, I will be your mascot.
This is the ugliness of the northern and southern sects.
And groveling before foreigners meant that there were three Yanshenggong who served the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty...
For Xu Youzhen, when the Mongols captured the Emperor and marched to Beijing, a villain like him would have thought of moving the capital to Nanjing to avoid being exposed for the time being, but he had never thought of surrendering.
Good guy, the saint will surrender faster than a villain like me...
Of course Xu Youzhen also knew that Confucius was a saint and a moral model, but his descendants were not. They all lived for glory and wealth without suffering.
Looking at it from another perspective, they make money on their knees. As long as they don’t feel embarrassed, the only ones who will be embarrassed are the scholars in the world.
A few days ago, when the matter in Prince Zhou's Mansion was almost over, Zhu Jianshen wrote a secret letter to Xu Youzhen.
The letter said: After the incident in Kaifeng and Xi'an, I will go to Shandong quickly. I heard that the Confucius Mansion is in Qufu and there is a lot of land in Songzhou. The direct bloodline of the saint should not compete with the people for profit, nor should it be concealed. In order to retaliate, I would like to go and check it out, so that Duke Yan Shenggong can clear away the unworthy descendants who have tarnished the name of the saint.
Linzhou was the city of Nanjing in the Southern Song Dynasty and Guide Prefecture in the Yuan Dynasty. It was Linzhou from Hongwu to Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. After Jiajing, it was renamed Guide Prefecture, now Shangqiu.
Because there is the Confucius Return Home Temple, it is said that the ancestral grave of Confucius is here. He once returned to pay homage, and part of the sacrifice was also involved here. Yanshenggong also had a home in Linzhou City, and he would return home every few years to imitate his ancestors. As time went by, Confucius The government has also accumulated a lot of wealth here. Of course, no one knows about this. What was originally an imitation of the ancestors turned into a disguised search for land. The pilgrimage turned into a journey to make money. Doesn't this make Sage Kong look ugly?
And Menda investigated these things clearly.
After reading His Majesty the Emperor's letter, Xu Youzhen felt uneasy, but she also knew that someone had to do this.
At this time in the Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian resigned and returned to his hometown. Li Xian's passive skill of self-preservation reached the Dzogchen realm. Others were more or less not qualified, and the emperor could not come forward to do such a thing. Otherwise, if the control was not good, it would become Scholars are the public enemy of Qingliu. Of course, this statement is a bit exaggerated, but overall, it is still a threat.
In this case, only Xu Youzhen can do it.
He must have noble moral character and status, he must be noble and noble, he must be cunning and cunning, and he must be cunning and cunning...
The perfect choice.
When he comes to fight Confucius Mansion, it is most suitable for him to fight the Holy Duke Yan, because he has already become a public enemy of officials, gentry and scholars. There are too many lice on his body, are he afraid of getting more?
These are Xu Youzhen's self-comforts.
Of course, Zhu Jianshen did not want to uproot Yan Shenggong. Scholars, it is allowed to have a thought in their hearts.
But they enjoy the glory and have to abide by the rules when they have no worries about food and clothing.
We can't hold Daming's bowl and smash Daming's pot at this stage.
Princes, sects and vassals all still have to do it.
Give me what you have taken and spit it out for me. My king's law is the king's law in Ming Dynasty. Although the sage Confucius is admirable, his descendants have not experienced the sufferings of Confucius, but they have enjoyed the enjoyment of Confucius. He has never enjoyed the glory and status, and his virtue is not worthy of his place. A family with a history of thousands of years seems to be deeply rooted, but to those in power, he is not worth three camps...
If you don't let the people bid farewell to the old year with the sound of firecrackers and sacrifice three animals to their ancestors, there may be big troubles. But you can replace it with one or two people who pay homage to the Confucius Temple and change the rules. Even if the scholars are dissatisfied, there won't be much trouble.
At most, it's just a protest or a letter. How can we expect a bunch of helpless people to fight with wooden sticks?
Zhu Jianshen saw this very clearly...
When Xu Youzhen passed through Linzhou, he stopped and stayed for two days. He also made a special trip to Yan Shenggong's house outside. It was beautifully built...
Qufu.
The hometown of the saint.
Mencius said: A gentleman's glory will decline in three generations, and will be destroyed in five generations.
Commonly known as: You can't be rich for three generations, and you can't be poor for five generations.
But whether it is Mencius or the common saying of the ancestors, this familiar saying of wisdom is somewhat wrong for Yanshenggong Mansion.
The third and fifth lives are all just a little bit of trouble. People want to rely on Saint Kong to become a prosperous family for hundreds of generations.
For them, who has the surname Zhao, who has the surname Liu, who has the surname Cao, who has the surname Li, who has the surname Zhao, and who has the surname Zhu. Although they have all dominated this country and had supreme power, in the end it is you. After Fang finished singing, I took the stage and could not be the protagonist forever.
Confucius's descendants have some words to express about the great changes in the land of China.
Everyone has moments of glory, don’t take a moment as eternity, tall buildings rise from the ground, glory can only depend on your own ancestors...
As long as we give in and surrender quickly, dynasty changes and social unrest have nothing to do with our family.
If I change my boss, I will still be a senior executive...
You can only get three hundred years at most, I start with one thousand years, there is no limit to the limit...
Confucius taught the world that he worked all the way from Shandong to Henan. Of course he did not go alone. If he were alone, he would probably be robbed if he could not leave Shandong.
He traveled around the world for fourteen years, bringing with him more than 3,000 disciples of his own, including seventy-two great sages, commonly known as the Seventy-two Vajras. There are those who accompany you to argue and talk, and those who accompany you to practice boxing...
This force was also very famous in the Ming Dynasty at this time...
Of course, the contribution of Saint Kong is also obvious to all.
In his later years, he revised the Six Classics "Poetry", "Book", "Ritual", "Music", "Book of Changes" and "Spring and Autumn".
After his death, his disciples and subsequent disciples recorded the words, deeds, quotes and thoughts of Confucius and his disciples, compiled them into The Analects of Confucius, and became the Confucian doctrine.
Half of the Analects governs the world, and one part of the Analects understands people's hearts. This is not just a matter of words. In this era, many people believe it.
For Confucius, he has influenced China for more than two thousand years. He has many adjectives that ordinary people cannot bear.
"The Holy One"
"Heaven's Wood Duo",
"The Holy Father of Literature"
"Sage Kong"
"Holy"
"The Most Holy Teacher"
"Teacher of all ages"
"King of Wenxuan"
"King Xuansheng Wenxuan"
"The Most Holy King Wenxuan"
These are all pronouns exclusive to Confucius, and they are also terms that no one can bear.
It can be said that when every dynasty is established, the first thing the Ministry of Rites does is to give Confucius a title.
Zhu Xi wrote in his treatise: "If heaven does not give birth to Zhongni, eternity will be like a long night" to express his worship of Confucius. Of course, it is also a pure self-worship. The implication is that if there is no saint, it will be like a long night. Without the sun, all people will live in darkness.
The latest Confucius Mansion was built in the 10th year of Hongwu with imperial court funds. Its specifications were only slightly worse than those of the two imperial palaces in the Ming Dynasty.
Duke Yansheng benefited from the glory of his ancestor Confucius and became a special duke in Chinese history who has been prosperous and prosperous for generations. He and the imperial court depended on each other, so he endured for a long time.
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang was a grassroots emperor and didn't believe in this, in order to calm the world's scholars, he still gave Yan Shenggong many privileges. When summoning the emperor in the palace, he could be in front of many civil and military officials.
In the Song Dynasty, Yanshenggong was an official of the eighth rank. In the Yuan Dynasty, he became the third rank. In the Ming Dynasty, he was mentioned to the first rank by Zhu Yuanzhang.
In 195 BC, which was the twelfth year of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, he decreed that Kong Teng, the 8th grandson of Confucius, be granted the title of Sacrifice King. During the period of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, he was also granted the title of Baocheng Hou. From then on, the eldest grandson of Confucius had a hereditary title. The title has changed many times in the following thousand years.
When Yanshenggong first started, it was in the second year of Zhihe in the Song Dynasty.
Renzong of the Song Dynasty issued an edict: "After Confucius Sheng, he was honored with titles and honors from generation to generation. He came from a long time ago. From Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, he was granted the title of Baochengjun to worship him. By the time of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, he was granted the title of Marquis of Baocheng, and he began to pursue posthumous titles. Confucius commended him to the Duke of Xuanni. Praise to the emperor is his country; Xuanni is his posthumous title; Duke and Marquis is his title. Although subsequent generations have changed it differently, the meaning has not been lost."
The title was changed to Yan Sheng Gong, and briefly to Feng Sheng Gong, and then back to Yan Sheng Gong. The title has been followed by later generations.
He only exists because he wants to worship the Confucius Temple, which is also the family temple of the Confucius family.
This was the case in Liu Bang's time, but he did not have a title, but only had his legitimate son as the enshrined king, who performed sacrifices on behalf of the court.
During the reign of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, natural disasters occurred frequently within the country, social unrest occurred, and the people were in dire straits. Confucian scholar Mei Fu believed that this was because God was angry because he failed to properly arrange the sacrifices to Confucius.
The imperial court accepted Mei Fu's proposal and named Confucius a descendant of Shang Tang to continue the sacrifices of the previous king.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, the son of the plane, officially regarded Confucius as the national god. His status was the same as that of the Sheji God and he enjoyed sacrifices.
From this time on, the Kong family began to become a great noble, and Confucius also became a god...
Of course, when anything develops to its peak, it will fall into dust...
In the end, Saint Kong changed from a god to Kong Laoer......
And Xu Youzhen spent six days in a state of self-encouragement and self-paralysis to reach Qufu, a place full of innate energy and Hongmeng celestial beings...
Shi Biao also spent these six days rushing from Henan to Guangxi.
Less than a hundred miles away from Zhennan Pass...M.biQuge.biZ
