Although the old Zhao family felt deeply for the Confucius family, the Confucius family did not want to hang themselves from a tree.

After Zhao Song was beaten to the south by the Wanyan family, the Confucius Mansion immediately sent Kong Duancao to the Dajinbiao Center to be conferred the title of Holy Duke.

Even though Jin Yi’s milk smells bad, she’s still a mother!

"Be respectful where you live, be respectful when serving, and be loyal to others. Even if you live in barbarians, you can't give up."

The ancestor of the Kong family said this to others, but it was different when it was the Kong family's turn. It was called:

"I am different from this, I can do anything."

In fact, it means that whoever gives the bones is the owner, regardless of whether he is a human or an animal.

Decades later, the Mongolian barbarians rose up and destroyed the Jin barbarians. Under the leadership of Yanshenggong Kong Yuanyong, the Confucius government assessed the situation and fell in favor of Kublai Khan with great righteousness.

In order to show his sincerity and innocence, Kong Yuanyong personally led his tribe to join the Yuan army to suppress the Han "rebels" and "unfortunately" died in the army.

After Kong Yuanyong's death, Kong Yuancuo's family took the opportunity to seize power, and the Kong family fought for the title of Holy Duke, which lasted for several generations.

In the end, Renzong of the Tartar Yuan Dynasty judged Kong Yuancuo's line as Zhengsu, and Kong Yuanyong's line was completely defeated. What a shame!

Poor Kong Yuanyong, who almost shed his last drop of blood for Kublai Khan's great cause of unification, but his descendants were brutally excluded and suppressed, God!

In order to please Kublai Khan, the Confucian government also sent the great Confucians Zhang Dehui and Yuan Haowen to meet Kublai Khan and kneel down to ask him to be the "Grand Master of Confucianism".

The dignified Chinese "sacred science" actually invited a chieftain whose hands were stained with the blood of tens of millions of Han people to be its grand master. The Confucian government truly realized the highest state of "repaying evil with kindness".

Although he did not know a few Chinese characters, Kublai Khan happily accepted their request and became the "Grand Master of Confucianism".

In a good mood, Kublai Khan exempted the Confucian government and Confucian households from military duties, and all the Confucian scholars cheered and celebrated. A gentleman pursues the path rather than seeking food, which is perfectly reflected here.

In fact, the Confucius mansion usually boasted six cars of wealth and was awe-inspiring in the countryside. The working people all sacrificed their land and daughters, became slaves and servants, and changed their surname to Confucius in order to benefit from the holy grace of Duke Yan.

This Confucian military gift is just the icing on the cake. Of course, money is too much, not to mention that this is a gift from the "Grand Master of Confucianism"!

The rise of Zhu Ming in China drove away the Mongols, and the Confucius government turned against them again. How many times? Countless.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang despised the character of the Confucian family, he also knew the usefulness of Confucianism in maintaining the Zhu family's court, so he renewed the title of Duke Yansheng.

Among the Yanshenggong of Confucius, the one who has the most ability to keep pace with the times and adapt to the general trend is none other than Kong Yinzhi, Yanshenggong of Confucius in the late Ming Dynasty.

The Zhu family treated him badly. He was not a direct descendant, but not only was he granted the title of Holy Duke, but he was also promoted to the title of Prince Taibao and Prince Taifu successively. It can be said that he is as kind as a mountain.

But as soon as Li Zicheng entered Shandong, when he was still far away from Qufu, the Confucius Mansion issued a Zhushi, ordering people to enshrine the dragon throne of Yongchang Emperor of Dashun Kingdom, offer horses and silver, and kneel to accept the seal.

Unexpectedly, this time the change of ownership was a bit urgent. Within a few days, the Dashun army ran away and the slave-building army came. The third surname Yan Shenggong knew his mistake and corrected it.

That is, he wrote the "Chu Jin Biao Wen" to express his loyalty to the Qing court and praised the Qing emperor as "the mountains and rivers shine together with the sun and the moon, and the country and Zuo are the same as the heaven and earth and they last forever."

It means that "I and others have built up scholars in the palace, but their academic achievements are weak. In the past, they inherited the special kindness of successive generations. Today, they are celebrating the prosperity of the new dynasty. They see the prosperity of learning and are staggering in fear of others."

Then, in response to the order of shaving hair issued by the Qing government, Kong Yinzhi, the third surnamed Gong, held a grand shaving ceremony, "respectfully setting up an incense table, reading out the holy edict", and ordering the tribesmen to shave their heads.

At the same time, the slave-building army was in Jiading, Jiangyin and other places, killing countless people who resisted shaving their hair and changing clothes.

Later, in order to avoid the taboo of Emperor Yinmo of the Qing Dynasty, the third surnamed Kong Yinzhi changed his name to Kong Yanzhi, once again showing his loyalty to the Qing court.

Kong Yan (Yin), the father-in-law of the third surname, had this kind of understanding, took the overall situation into consideration and followed the trend of history. I am afraid that even Wang Jingwei, Wu Sangui and his like would give a thumbs up!

The Confucian family knew this, so the Qing court naturally awarded them awards, and the Confucian family became even more powerful. As for what our ancestors said, "A scholar will die when he sees danger, and he will think of his righteousness when he sees it." This is a way to educate all people, and it is not the Confucian family's rule of governance.

Throughout the history of the Confucian government, the more foreign barbarians, Rongdi and Di, the more generous the rewards. After Yuan Chengzong came to power, Mr. Confucius was named the "Dacheng Most Holy King Wenxuan".

When Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty first came to power, he even named Confucius the "Forefather of the Great Saint Wenxuan King". This gradual adulation finally reached its peak, and the Confucius family also benefited from it.

In fact, the Confucian government sometimes repaid its kindness. For example, nearly a hundred years after the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, the Confucian government still remembered the kindness of the Qing Dynasty.

They wore cheongsams and mandarin jackets to put pig heads on their ancestors. It is said that even now, the characters used by the Kong family to rank seniority were given by Qianlong!

When the Japanese invaded in later generations, what role did the Confucius family of Shandong play?

The Confucius family has served the ruling class in all dynasties and has been granted various titles. It has always been the backbone of the feudal class in history, no matter who came from the Tatars, Yuan and Qing Dynasties.

As a feudal empire, the Japanese country was certainly not stupid. It did not make any big moves when it came to Confucius. Until Western science entered China, the main opposition force came from the Confucian corrupt Confucianism.

In 1937, before the Japanese invaded China, Kong Decheng, the Duke of Yansheng, published a poem, advocating that chemistry and the Japanese "same culture and species". The poem said: "The rivers, rivers, rivers, pearls and rivers flow together, how can it be that they are from the same state and are different people".

The day before the fall of Qufu, Kong Decheng was "escorted" by KMT out of the city to Wuhan, and immediately issued an anti-Japanese declaration. It was surprising how quickly his attitude changed.

The agent of the Kong family who stayed in Qufu actually lived up to the title of traitor, but Wang Puppet Jianquan praised him and drank and chatted with the Japanese officers stationed in Lu all day long.

In 1938, Qufu fell, and Kong Lingyu immediately hosted a banquet for the leaders of the Japanese invasion, Tian Kuo, Kubo Tim, Okita, Ayukawa, Chigu, Nara and others, in order to strengthen the "China-Japanese friendship."

Therefore, in the world anti-fascist war, Confucianism, represented by the descendants of Confucius, not only played the role of deputy assistant in the Japanese invasion of China.

He also played important roles in Japan's military invasion of China and as a cultural policy adviser for political confusion.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is widely preached that China should follow the "king, king, minister, father, son, son" and "three cardinal principles and five constant principles" when facing the Japanese country. Respecting and worshiping Confucius has also become a must for the Japanese invasion.

important means.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Confucius. The main reason is that his descendants have completely changed their character. Every time the dynasty changes, they will be the first to declare their vassal status. The favor shown to them by the previous royal family has been completely thrown away by them.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to completely revive, such people must not only not be used, but also must be eliminated. Otherwise, if there is a slight disturbance, they will immediately start to take advantage of both sides...

Zhu Cixiang first read a few superstitious letters sent by Shandong Jinyiwei, and then picked up a few superstitious letters found in the Jiannu Palace. These superstitious letters were letters between Kong Yinzhi, the contemporary Yanshenggong, and Huang Taiji.

Before Huang Taiji established the Qing Dynasty, the two sides began to secretly flirt with each other. When Huang Taiji ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the name Qing Dynasty still had a certain relationship with the Kong family.

On April 11, the tenth year of Tiancong, Huang Taiji held an extremely grand enthronement ceremony.

He officially issued an edict to abolish the country's title of "Later Jin" and change the country's name to "Qing".

Why is the regime established by Huang Taiji called "Qing"?

"Jin" is the country established by the Jurchens in history. Nurhaci used "Jin" as his country name, which not only inherited the cause of the Jin country, but also reunited the Jurchen tribes.

However, as Huang Taiji came to power and his territory expanded, the era name "Jin" severely restricted Huang Taiji's development.

If Huang Taiji wants to do something big, he must use the Han people. He is very aware of the hatred and taboo of the Han people in the Central Plains towards the "Jin Kingdom".

After all, for a Han Chinese in the Central Plains, as soon as he sees this "Jin Kingdom", he will think of the two Song Dynasties that fought against it, and then think of that unforgettable period.

It is the "Shame of Jingkang" that led to the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the famous poem "The River is Red: The Crown is Angry" that will forever be recorded in history, popular and well-known to everyone.

I am so angry that I stand by my side, and the mist of rain has stopped. I look up, look up to the sky and roar, my heart is full of passion. Thirty years of fame and fame, dust and dirt, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon. Don't wait for it, the young man's head will turn white, and he will feel empty and sad.

The shame of Jingkang has not yet snowed; the hatred of the ministers, when will it be extinguished? Driving a long chariot, trampling through the gap in the Helan Mountains. The ambition is to eat Hulu meat when hungry, and laugh and drink the blood of Xiongnu when thirsty. Let's start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky.

The last signature was four characters - Give me back my country!

It can be seen that upon hearing this poem, the hatred of the Han people in the Central Plains towards Hou Jin can be imagined. Under such circumstances, how could Huang Taiji make the Han people surrender?

Therefore, under this background, Huang Taiji had to change the name of the country. He believed that changing the name of the country "Jin" was the general trend and must be changed.

At this time, Duke Yan began to play a role. According to the "Five Virtues Ending and Beginning Theory" written by Zou Yan of Qi State, the country was divided into five dynasties, namely, the Mude Dynasty, the Huode Dynasty, the Tude Dynasty, and the Jinde Dynasty.

, Shuide Dynasty.

These five dynasties are just like the five elements, they can inherit and replace each other.

In this way of thinking, they believed that the Yuan Dynasty was a "Jinde Dynasty".

Because this was a dynasty that conquered the world on horseback. The people of the Yuan Dynasty knew nothing except fighting and abusing violence. Therefore, the dynasty they established was the "Jinde Dynasty".

Since the Yuan Dynasty was a "Jin De Dynasty", according to the mutual restraint of the five elements, "Fire" restrained "Metal", so the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang was a "Fire De Dynasty".

Then, in order to restrain Zhu Ming's "Fire Virtue Dynasty", Duke Yansheng suggested that Huang Taiji change Jin to Qing and establish a "Shui De Dynasty".

Of course, with Huang Taiji's level, he would not have thought of these profound things. When he saw Yan Shenggong's suggestion, he was immediately overjoyed.

Therefore, he took the word "Qing" and established a "Shui De Dynasty", using the method of "water to overcome fire" to restrain the Ming Dynasty.

This is the origin of the word "Qing", and Yan Shenggong of the Ming Dynasty played an extremely key role.

In order to survive, they were afraid of death, afraid of losing their glory, wealth and status of the Kong family. After all, the boss this time was the barbarian Rongdi from their ancestors who couldn't understand the king's words. Who knows if these barbarians want a brand?

Our ancestors said something about Dayi, but after thousands of years, the only thing that has been passed down is this word Kong.

The Kong family is used to seeing their country subjugated and their species wiped out. They always behave well. Those emperors turned around when they conquered the world and still obediently asked me to be Duke Yansheng.

But the reason why barbarians are barbarians is, what about Yan Shenggong? What about Wanshi Shibiao? With a fast horse and a scimitar, if you say you will kill, you will kill him.

I heard that they believe in shamans more...

It's still a bit painful to read. Those rotten Confucians usually talk about their hearts and minds, but they still know how to repay the king with death. You, the Confucian family, have always been the authentic Confucians.

Your family hangs a teacher of all ages and writes such a thing. Not everyone has integrity, but everyone has face.

Rather than saying that "Chu Jin Biao Wen" is Kong Yanzhi's response to express his gratitude to Emperor Shunzhi for granting him the imperial edict, it is better to say that it is his eagerness to flatter after surviving a disaster.

Sometimes I imagine that in the mezzanine of a certain wall of the Confucius Temple, there is a secret note left by a certain generation of the Confucian family, Yan Shenggong, to future generations. It contains three words: Live on.

In fact, the true authentic Kong family did not exist after Yashan. The later Beikong was not the real authentic Kong family at all, so some people say that there was no Kong family after Yashan.

In the second year of Jingkang of the Song Dynasty, the Jin army destroyed the Song Dynasty. King Kang Zhaogou crossed to the south and established the Southern Song Dynasty regime, which was renamed Jianyan. In the second year of the Song Dynasty, he ordered the 48th generation of Yanshenggong Kong Duanyou in Yangzhou to attend the ceremony.

Kong Duanyou and some of the Confucian descendants accompanied him across the south, carrying Zigong's hand-painted regular wooden statues of Confucius and Qiguan's wife on their backs, treating them as sacred objects.

Later, he was ordered to build a family temple in Quzhou, Zhejiang, and never returned to Qufu. His descendants inherited the title hereditary, and was named Yanshenggong by the Southern Song Dynasty, which was the Nanzong. It was passed down from the sixth generation to the 53rd generation, and was inherited by Kong Zhu.

The Jin soldiers entered the Central Plains and established the Liu Yu regime of the puppet Qi Dynasty. Kong Fan, the nephew of Kong Duanyou, was made the Duke of Yansheng. When Liu Yu was defeated, Jin Xizong still made Kong Fan the Duke of Yansheng, which was the Northern Sect.

It was passed down to Kong Yuancuo three times, and then the current political power was moved to Bianjing. Kong Yuan, the elder brother of the clan, used his power to attack Duke Sheng and left him in Qufu to take charge of the worship service.
