People’s hearts!

It is very important for a dynasty, but not important. Nowadays, the Qin Empire has implemented land reform and embraced the hearts of the common people in the world, with a rainbow of momentum.

Whether it is Confucianism or genius, what they need to rely on is the common people in the world. Only by relying on the power of the common people in the world can they compete with the court.

For example, today's common people's hearts belong to the Qin court, which made them like castles in the air without a foundation. Now, they have no foundation to compete with the court.

Qufu.

Under the huge statue of Confucius, all the members of the Kong family were there. The head of the Kong family in this life was Kong Yu, but before Kong Yu went to the Qin Dynasty, he handed over the position of the head of the family to his younger brother.

Kong Teng!

At this moment, Kong Teng was extremely confused. He knew that his elder brother Kong Feng was in Xianyang and had already lost his power.

At this moment, Kong Teng was extremely confused and he didn't know what to do. This matter was of great importance. If he was not careful, the entire Kong family would suffer crazy revenge.

Nowadays, the Qin Empire is full of momentum and has no sign of destruction. It is precisely because of this that Kong Teng is so entangled.

"Prepare, I will enter Xianyang!"

"The head of the family..."

Kong Teng glanced at the young and middle-aged clan and shook his head: "I am for the Kong family. Facing the Qin Empire, we have no choice but to bow our heads."

"The head of the family, we bow our heads, but the Confucian scholars may not bow their heads. At that time, the Confucian scholars will inevitably be disconnected from us. Please think twice!"

Kong Yiji had a deep look, and he knew in his heart that the head of the Kong family was not Confucius, and the choice between the two must be different.

Kong Teng is the head of the Kong family, but not a Confucian giant, so he is responsible for the inheritance of the Kong family.

"I have already thought about it. The Confucian attitude and the attitude of Confucian scholars should not be the responsibility of me. The Confucian giants will make their own decisions!"

Kong Teng looked at Kong Yiji deeply, and said word by word, "I only need to pass on the Kong family for generations, that's all."

"promise."

Although Kong Yiji was a Confucian scholar, he was also a member of the Kong family, so he could naturally understand Kong Teng's decision. Now the Qin Empire is too strong and has no choice but to bow his head.

...

Watching Kong Yiji leave, Kong Teng's eyes flashed for a moment. He knew in his heart that Qufu was the land of the Great Qin Empire, and it was the Great Qin Empire, not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The Kong family has no ability or qualifications to fight against a unified dynasty.

For the survival of the Kong family, he had to bow his head. What is pride? Under the sword of the Qin Ruis, everything is empty.

The reason they resisted before was because there were too many anti-Qin forces on the Central Plains, the remnants of the six countries were also ambitious, and there was also instability within the Qin Empire.

That's why they danced so happily, but now, the anti-Qin forces have been almost completely defeated, and the surviving tribes of the six countries have been eliminated in one battle. With the progress of land reform, although the internal conflicts between the Great Qin Empire have not disappeared, they are at least not serious.

At this moment, I still want to fight against the Qin Empire, just being stubborn and not afraid of death.

Kong Teng is a cautious person. He knew in his heart that as long as he followed the Qin Empire, even if he entered Qin this time, there would be no problem.

Therefore, he was willing to take some risks without any danger and personally enter the Qin Dynasty to meet the First Emperor. This trip not only saved the Kong family, but also enhanced the Kong family's initiative in Confucianism.

Kong Teng is naturally not an easy person to be the head of the Kong family, and he has long been aware of these power and plots.

He knew in his heart that this trip to Xianyang would definitely be the best choice for the Kong family. After all, the contradiction between the Qin Empire and the Confucianism was already very deep.

Although they are not enemies of each other, there are many contradictions, and there is a tendency for one side to try to exterminate the other side.

Kong Teng knew better than anyone else that the reason why the Kong family had a high status and that Kong Feng was named Wen Tongjun by the Qin Empire was because of the Confucian scholars.

Part of this trip to Xianyang was to resolve the death situation between Confucianism and the Qin court.

...

Xianyang Palace.

Suddenly, he walked into the study, bowed solemnly to Ying Zheng, and said, "Your Majesty, news comes from the Black Ice Platform, Qin Mo, Chu Mo, Zongheng's family, and Qufu Kong family have already set off!"

"However, the other great Confucian scholars and Confucian masters in various places did not express their opinions."

"Your Majesty, can't this descendant of Confucius represent Confucianism?"

Ying Zheng was not surprised by this matter. He knew in his heart that the Confucian giant and the Kong family were two different people. Although the Kong family had a high status, it was just a high status and had a great influence.

But what is said in Confucianism is not Kong Teng or Kong Feng, but Confucian giants.

At least before the Han Dynasty, the Kong family had little influence on Confucianism, only Qufu.

...

Ying Zheng knew in his heart that in the 5,000-year history of China, many prominent families have emerged, including the Huangdi family, the Tianshi family, and the Kong family. Each of them can be at least 500 years old, which is longer than the lifespan of a dynasty.

Among them, the Kong family is a great family, but also a small family. The reason is very simple: whoever comes to this family will surrender.

In the chaotic times of the end of the Qin Dynasty, as Wen Tongjun of the Great Qin Empire, Kong Yu immediately surrendered to Chen Sheng and became the tutor among the rebels. Later, Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty and surrendered to Liu Bang.

In Ying Zheng's opinion, this is nothing. However, Confucius, who emphasized the "distinguish between China and the barbarians", when his descendants faced the "barbarians", "submitted whoever came."

It's so chaotic.

First, when the Jin army went south, Yansheng Gong Kong Duanyou went south and became Yansheng Gong of the Southern Sect of the Kong clan. However, Kong Duanyou's half-brother Kong Duancao voluntarily surrendered to the Jin army, becoming the beginning of the Northern Sect.

Second, when the Mongolian, Jin and Southern Song Dynasty were established, three Yansheng Gongs appeared in the world. Kong Zhiquan, who surrendered to Mongolia, also fought with the Southern Song Dynasty with the Mongolian army and died in battle for the Mongols.

Third, in 1644, when Shunzhi ascended the throne in Beijing, Kong Yinzhi, who was enthroned by Chongzhen, sent a "First Promotion Commentary" praising Shunzhi's "respect for heaven and ruling the people with virtue", "six heavens share the gods", "eight deserts sing the holy emperor", etc.

...

Because he understood who the Kong family was the strongest to rely on, Ying Zheng had no good feelings for Confucianism and Kong family. At this moment, he was naturally not surprised when he heard the sudden weak words.

Now the Qin Empire is full of momentum, and it is strange that the Kong family in Qufu does not bow their heads.
