Which family is the most prominent in China? Yuanyuan is the most famous. To a certain extent, it is not the royal family, but the Confucius family in Qufu. Thanks to the glory of their ancestor Confucius, it has become an enduring and prosperous family in Chinese history.

, a family with a prominent position. From the Han and Wei dynasties, when they were called Baocheng, Baozun, and Zongsheng, to the Song Dynasty, when Yanshenggong was entrusted and passed down to this day, after several dynasties and generations, the Confucius family has been prosperous for generations, which can be said to be the best of any family.

Incomparable.

"In the old days, when kings gave birth to swallows in front of the hall, they flew into the homes of ordinary people." Dynasties would change and families would decline. However, the Confucius family could rely on each other and the imperial court and endure for a long time. It was definitely an anomaly in Chinese history.

Not only that, but since the Mongol Dynasty, the county magistrate of Qufu has been held by the Kong family for generations. Qufu County has actually become the fiefdom of Duke Yansheng!

A family can be passed down for thousands of years, and there is also a county that is equivalent to a fiefdom. This kind of family is definitely unique in China. In the Ming Dynasty, compared to the vassal princes who could not even leave the royal palace in the Ming Dynasty, Qufu's Duke Yansheng was more like

A vassal king not only has a high status that cannot be offended, but also controls a county and hundreds of thousands of people in the county. In addition to having an unattainable status, Yan Shenggong's wealth is not inferior to that of any vassal king. Just the Confucius Temple

The sacrificial fields awarded by the Bian dynasties amounted to hundreds of thousands of acres!

In the past thousand years, relying on the rewards from past dynasties, the Yanshenggong family also used their own privileges to annex and protect millions of acres of land through embezzlement and donation. The Confucius family farms spread all over Shandong

.If we are talking about big landowners, the Kong family will definitely be number one in the Ming Dynasty!

The Confucius family in Qufu, which already has land, people, cities, farmland and a high status. In the past more than a thousand years, even in one troubled period after another, the reason why it has remained standing is in vain. It is said that it is just a straw.

Being aware of current affairs can be said to be the basic rule for the survival of the Confucius family. Although the Confucius family has received countless benefits from successive dynasties, they have never thought of being loyal to that court. The Confucius family has survived for thousands of years, not only by relying on

Confucius's trademark, their ability to understand current affairs, is unique in the world.

They surrendered to Jin and surrendered to Mongolia. When Zhu Hongwu's troops came to Shandong, they naturally accepted the Ming Dynasty.

Basically, it’s one lower and one accurate!

According to history, when Li Zicheng came to Beijing, Kong Yinzhi, the Duke of Yansheng, immediately sent a congratulatory message, which was far more prompt than anyone else. Later, when he learned that Dashun was defeated and the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he immediately wrote a "Central Congratulations".

"Jin Biao Wen" was sent to Dorgon in Beijing. Even before the Qing troops came, he took the initiative to raise the "Qing" flag. In terms of current affairs, the Kong family was ranked first in the world.

However, let’s not say that every one of the Kong family in the past generations has been a talented person who knows the current affairs. Oh, I’m afraid they just don’t know the current affairs occasionally. No one in the world is willing to be the enemy of the Kong family in Qufu.

Although the Manchus invaded Shandong many times, they never invaded Qufu. Li Zicheng was also unwilling to make enemies of the Kong family in Qufu. When he went to Taiqian officials in Shandong, he still told them not to disturb the Kong family. As for the local converts in Shandong

, but once besieged Qufu City. But they did not dare to fight at all. When Yanshenggong Kong Yinzhi himself came to the city, the besieged rebels kowtowed to him one after another, and then left the siege!

This shows that the prestige of the Qufu Kong family in Shandong is very high.

To put it bluntly, if you don’t want to be his enemy, it’s all for political purposes - this guy knows the current affairs! Once he expresses his submission, the new dynasty will make an issue of it - you see, even Yan Shenggong has submitted.

Well, why don’t you scholars surrender?

The reputation of the Kong family is indeed transcendent, so transcendent that... Zhu Guoqiang is a little jealous, so jealous that he has to take advantage of it.

There is no way, reputation is just for use!

I can even use the Feng Shui and reputation of my ancestor, Emperor Gao, let alone you, an outsider?

However, the reputation of the Kong family is indeed very high. This is because Zu Kefa and his group of more than a thousand "Qing cavalry" have just appeared on the border of Qufu. As soon as they started setting fires here, there were righteous people there who hurried to Qufu to report.

I heard that the "Donglu Iron Cavalry" was coming to kill, and "Yanshenggong" Kong Yinzhi could sleep peacefully there. While ordering the city gate to be closed, summoning the young men to defend the city, he hurriedly sent people to prepare gifts and name cards.

Qinghe, please ask Governor Hong to send troops to rescue Qufu.

This is no joke!

The Donglu Tatars kill without blinking an eye.

When Kong Yinzhi was behind the high wall of Qufu, waiting anxiously for the Donglu to attack the city, he never thought that someone would suddenly report that the sacred forest was on fire.

"What sacred forest is on fire!"

In an instant, Kong Yinzhi was dumbfounded. No matter how scared he was, he hurriedly ran to the top of the city. The original Qufu City was not strong enough and was attacked by an uprising in the sixth year of Zhengde. So Wu Zong issued an edict to

In the southwest corner of the old city of Lu, a Qufu city was rebuilt with the Confucius Temple as the center.

It took ten years to rebuild the city of Qufu. It can be said that the city has high walls and solid walls. The city is about ten miles in circumference, more than two feet and three feet high, and more than one foot and one foot thick. The city has five gates, each with an urn. Outside the city there is

The moat is more than ten feet wide and deep. Therefore, hiding in Qufu City is generally absolutely safe.

But... Qufu City only protects the Confucius Temple, but the Holy Forest is outside the city - the Holy Forest, which is the family cemetery of the Confucius family, and the grave of the most holy teacher is also there!

Although there is a wall in Konglin, it is just an ordinary thin wall. Now there is a fire there, the grave of the ancestor!

Staring at the sacred forest with billowing smoke, Kong Yinzhi couldn't help but knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Unfilial descendants cannot keep the Shouling Mausoleum of their ancestors safe, and let the Donglu disturb the Shouling Mausoleum. It is really a crime worthy of death, a crime worthy of death!"

For a time, the city was filled with cries. People with and without the surname Kong all knelt down in one piece. Just as the cries were loud in the city, a group of Donglu cavalry was seen over there.

Rushing to the city gate,

Although the admiring people cried loudly and wanted to treat each other with their own bodies, when they saw Donglu, none of them dared to shoot an arrow. It seemed that their filial piety was just crying.

I'm disturbed... Then cry more.

But Donglu at the bottom of the city shouted loudly to the people on the city.

"People in the city, listen, I, the Qing Dynasty, have come to the Central Plains not only to kill all the Han people, but also to destroy all the so-called holy places of famous religions. Today I will destroy Confucius Forest, and when I enter the country again tomorrow, I will destroy the Confucius Temple...

"

When the man finished speaking, the surrounding Qing troops all shouted loudly.

"Zhe Confucius Temple, Zhe Confucius Temple..."

For a moment, the shouts were loud and everyone on the city was dumbfounded - Zhe Confucius Temple! No, the temple is not in the city? No, it is the most disturbing thing, so I have to cry!

"Old ancestors, unfilial descendants deserve death..."

There was another burst of crying, echoing on the city wall like a thunderous sound. However, there was only crying, but no bullets or arrows were seen. It seemed that crying could make the Tatars outside the city cry away!

No, in fact, the Kong family has never cried when they walked past the Tatars, they were clearly welcoming them!

Kong Yinzhi feels miserable now!

He hates it!

I hate the Qing Dynasty for not giving him a chance. No, you are taking over your world. If you have the ability to conquer the capital, our Kong family will be the first to submit a letter of submission and call on the scholars in the world to be loyal to the new dynasty. But we, the Kong family, have recruited you.

How dare you come here and dig up the graves of your ancestors!

Really, what a bunch of barbarians!

Just when Kong Yinzhi was scolding the barbarian Tatars in his heart, he heard a sentence coming from the Tatar language of the Tatar soldiers under the city.

"Please tell Governor Hong that since we have burned Konglin, the so-called Ming Dynasty is nothing more than this, so I won't bother him and send him away, and I also ask all officials not to send him away..."

What!

Suddenly, an angry shout came from Kong Yinzhi's throat.

"Hong Chengchou, your incompetent supervisor actually let the Tatars burn the sacred grove and dig the sacred graves. If I don't kill you, how can I quell the anger of the people in the world!"

He didn't dare to scold the Tatars, but he still dared to scold Hong Chengchou!

Not only did he want to scold him, but he also wanted to write a memorial to impeach Hong Chengchou.

Yes, he must be impeached!

It was Hong Chengchou who stood still there and allowed the typists to pass by the tombs of their ancestors, causing everyone to be frightened and apologize to their ancestors here.

He, Hong Chengchou, deserves to be a scholar. As a governor, he cannot serve the country and kill the Eastern captives. He cannot appease the people and take back the captive people.

Thinking of this, Kong Yinzhi only had hostility towards Hong Chengchou in his heart. With the hatred of country and family added together, how could he be angry?

However, even though he was angry inside, he still did not forget to warn the people on the wall.

"Don't shoot arrows, don't anger the Donglu, the Tatars are violent, it's better to be careful..."
