In the first year of Baoqing, Emperor Lizong of the Southern Sect regained Shandong, and in the following year, Kong Zhiquan, the son of Kong Yuanyong, was granted the title of Duke of Yansheng. Even when the Mongolian soldiers captured Qufu, Kong Zhiquan was still the Duke of Yansheng.

At this time, Mongolia, Jin, and Song each had a Duke Yan.

The Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty and unified China. In the first year of Xianzong's reign, Kong Zhen, the 52nd generation grandson of Beizong, was granted the title of Duke Yansheng.

Because Kong Zhen was the grandson of Kong Yuancuo, but he remarried with his mother and had a surname of Li. Kong Yuancuo took back and raised him. He was exposed in a letter by the Kong family and was dismissed the following year. Xinyan Shenggong was not appointed again and he was given the title.

Hanging.

In the 19th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, visited the Kong people and planned to establish Yanshenggong. He ordered Kong Zhu, who was the sixth generation of Yanshenggong of Nanzong at that time, to go to Beijing to negotiate for the title.

Kong Zhu said that because the tombs of his ancestors had been in Qufu for five generations, it was difficult to abandon them, and the descendants of Qufu had done great service in guarding the tombs, so he was willing to give up his title to Beizong.

Kublai Khan was filled with admiration and said:

"It is better to violate honor than to violate family ties. This is the true queen of a saint."

Kong Zhu was granted the title of Imperial Imperial College Sacrifice Wine and Undersecretary, and was exempted from the title of Yanshenggong, but was not granted the title of Beizong.

It was not until the first year of Chengzongzhen in the Yuan Dynasty that Kong Zhi, the son of Kong Zhiquan, was granted the title of Yanshenggong, so that the Yanshenggong of Beizong was interrupted for 43 years.

In terms of nature, Kong Zhu did not abdicate the throne at that time, but actually resigned from the title. Because he knew that he was granted the title of the Southern Song Dynasty, he took the step of "attacking the title of Duke Yan" to avoid right and wrong.

In order to truly revive the Ming Dynasty, to reform teaching, and to prevent scholars from ruining the country with empty talk, Zhu Cixiang knew that the Confucius family must be destroyed.

Hong Chengchou was asked to go to Shandong for land reform just to see how he treated the Confucius family. As a result, for more than a year, he was led by the Shandong officials and gentry.

In the early years of Hongwu, Shandong administered six prefectures: Jinan, Qingzhou, Dongchang, Jining, Dengzhou and Laizhou.

In the 18th year of Hongwu, Jining was demoted to a state and Yanzhou was promoted to a prefecture. It still governed six prefectures, namely Jinan, Yanzhou, Dongchang, Qingzhou, Laizhou and Dengzhou Prefecture; there were 15 prefectures under the jurisdiction of the prefecture.

It has been more than a year since Hong Chengchou completed the land reform in only two prefectures, Dengzhou and Laizhou. The other prefectures have basically remained untouched. The two prefectures of Denglai were mainly under the influence of Emperor Shenwu and had a large number of troops stationed there.
