Chapter 447: Two Yan Sheng Gong

The rituals and music of the year returned to Donglu, and the emperor was worshipped by Su Wang forever. Since he respected Confucianism alone, the writers were almost all disciples of the Confucius family. The reputation of Confucius even surpassed that of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. Therefore, the so-called Yansheng means "Dayan Shensheng". It is precisely because of Confucius and Confucius' "Dayan" "Dayan" "The Great Way, Sacred, True One, and Traditional", that the existence of Confucius is enough to make the entire Chinese king dim and eclipse in front of him.

Therefore, the descendants of the Kong family have received favorable admiration from the kings of all dynasties for generations. Often during the warlord separatist period, the Kong family even represented the role of the lost jade seal. Once they stood on one side, no matter how unbearable the warlord was, they were all covered with the halo of sacred and kingly ways.

Yan Shenggong, the only imperial title in the world, was divided into the Southern and Northern Clans. In the year of Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, was forced to move south due to the Jin army's invasion. At this time, Kong Duanyou, the 48th generation grandson of Confucius, who had been granted the title of "Yan Shenggong", and some of the Kong clans, also brought the pair of "Treasures of the Confucius Family" - the wooden statues and portraits of Confucius and his wife, and then moved south to Quzhou, Zhejiang to settle down. The following year, Emperor Gaozong also built the Confucius Temple in Quzhou and others to live here. However, those who had not moved south were still in Qufu, Shandong. At this point, the descendants of the Kong clan formed the two sects of the north and south.

In the second year of Shaoxing, Kong Xi was granted the title of Yansheng Gong. The Confucius family who temporarily stayed in the prefecture decided to settle in Quzhou. They repeatedly requested to establish a ancestral temple in the prefecture. In the sixth year of Shaoxing, Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty Zhao Gou "issued to rule on the Quzhou Prefecture as a ancestral temple." From then on, the lineage of the Confucius clan had lived in the prefecture. At first, the ancestral temple was "fashioned and created, that is, to serve as a ancestral temple, and to offer gifts to the land, but there was no fixed number."

In that year, Emperor Gaozong of Song gave him bronze seals and gave him five hectares of land to sacrifice to the tribes. The Kong clan moved south gradually settled down. From Emperor Gaozong of Song to the four emperors later, they all followed the order of Emperor Gaozong of Song. It was not until the first year of Emperor Lizong of Song that the governor of the state was granted the request of the state governor of the state, and the fund was allocated 360,000 yuan to build the first Kong Quzhou clan, and the situation of replacing the Kong clan, Quzhou clan, with the academic power of the state, ended. The state official Sun Zixiu was also promoted to Taichang Cheng because of the construction of the Kong clan, and the capital was not yet fully equipped.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the situation changed fundamentally. In the first year of Duanping of Emperor Lizong of Song Dynasty, Mongolia destroyed the Jin Dynasty. According to the agreement concluded between Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty, after the Jin Dynasty was destroyed, the Southern Song Dynasty could recover lost territory and return to Bianjing. However, Mongolia violated the agreement. The Southern Song Dynasty not only did not recover the Central Plains, but also lost more territory. The Confucius family who settled in the state could never return to Shandong. In the first year of Bao, Song Lizong, with a realistic attitude, asked Sun Zixiu, the governor of Zhunzhou, to build a family temple for the Confucius family in Quzhou.

After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, when the 53rd generation of the Kong clan, the Yuan Shizu wanted to unify the two Confucius clans and let the Southern Clan return to Shandong. However, the 53th generation of the Southern Clan reported to the court, meaning that there were already five ancestors in Qu, and they could not bear it. They were willing to give the title of "Yansheng Gong" to the Confucius clan of the Northern Clan. Since then, the Southern Clan lost its title and its social status declined, and later became a commoner. It was not until the 59th generation of the grandson that he was enthroned as the title of "Doctor of the Five Classics" by the court, and his descendants were hereditary. However, because of its decline for several dynasties, Quzhou was located in southern Zhejiang, and military strategists have fought for key places in the past dynasties. The Confucius Temple in the Southern Clan suffered repeated catastrophes, which is far less well preserved than the Confucius Temple in the Qufu, Shandong, North Clan. Therefore, people only regard the Confucius family in the Northern Clan Qufu as the authentic.

Therefore, there were two Yansheng publics who were traveling south at this time, one was Kong Xing of the Northern Sect, and the other was Kong Xing of the Southern Sect. After the Qing army entered the pass, the head of the Southern Sect also moved the head of the Nanzong land to Qufu. These two brothers originally taught their children at home, enjoying honor and not caring about foreign affairs. However, after the plague in Shandong, the governor Yang Wending obeyed Kangxi's orders and ordered the expulsion of the epidemic. Qufu County was also in Shandong, and the epidemic was very serious. As descendants of the Kong family, the two brothers had strict tuition since childhood. What they had to do was to safeguard the reputation of their ancestors. Therefore, they set up a porridge shed and sneaked out of the Confucius family to fight for the epidemic. In this generation, scholars more or less understood some medical principles, so they saved many people. However, at this time, Yang Wending came.

No matter how brave Yang Wending was, he did not dare to be arrogant when he was in the Qufu Kong family, but the task assigned by the superiors could not be completed, so he obediently put down the post and added a student Yang Wending to the end. However, when the Kong family waited, the Kong family ignored him. Yang Wending calmly took a few breaths and presented a famous post. This time he added a little respect, but the Kong family was determined to eat the weight, but still did not respond at all. There was no way, Yang Wending could only go uninvited. As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by someone. The person who stopped him was Kong Xing, the Yansheng Gong of Nanzong. Kong Xing pointed at Yang Wending and cursed, and even threatened that Yang Wending was not a child of Confucianism and wanted to revive his fame.

Although the Kong family had the right to open up fame and fame, for a magistrate like Yang Wending, the most unbearable thing for a territorial official like Yang Wending was Kong Xing's insult. If this matter was spread, would Yang Wending be embarrassed to come out to meet people? At that time, Yang Wending did not happen, but just said goodbye. After returning to Jinan, he immediately issued a sign and forced him to enter Qufu to drive people. Anyway, this was the emperor's will, and he was not afraid of trouble. A few days later, the soldiers and green camp soldiers rushed into Qufu, and began to set fire to one village after another to expel the epidemic.

And the Kong family two

They were shocked by such atrocities. They had been tutoring hard since childhood. They learned the things they learned (the sage, the saints, and never saw such things. The two of them were discouraged and could only sit at home and listen to crying outside the high walls.

A few months later, a Ming army led by Liu Guoxuan suddenly broke into Haifeng County, Shandong Province. Yang Wending naturally forgot this matter. He made a profit and received a reward from the emperor. Therefore, he assisted the capital in the Manchu Central Army camp to organize the suppression of the Ming army in Haifeng. Who knew that Yang Wending's relative Fubiao camp suddenly rebelled. Not only did he let the Ming army go away, but he also suddenly returned to Jinan. For a time, Jinan City was killed by Fubiao camp in a strict prevention and control situation. Yang Wending fled. After receiving his family, the Fubiao camp knew that there were enemies around him. He did not dare to stay in Jinan for a long time. He immediately returned to Haifeng to meet with the Ming army there and fled to Jiangnan by sea.

The fall of Jinan City, Yang Wending fled, causing chaos in Shandong. The Yuyuan Army was not a vegetarian land. It immediately took advantage of the situation and captured prefectures and counties. It gradually began to meet with the Ming army along the coastal areas. The Manchus quickly sent the Eight Banners from the capital to fight. For a moment, the situation became a mess. Taking advantage of this skill, a large number of people in Shandong began to flee. Using the Ming army to pick up warships from the land to Jiangnan. Kong Xing and Kong Xing also began to discuss. Kong Xing insisted on moving south. Kong Xing hoped to maintain the status quo. After all, Qufu was the foundation of the children of the Confucius family. No matter what, they could never go to the ground.

After a failed argument, Kong Xing decided to do his own thing and announced that all the Confucius Sect in the Southern Sect moved south. After all, there were many family businesses in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, they immediately received the consent of each property in the family. The children of the Northern Sect also started to wander. After all, everyone was surnamed Kong Di. To put it bluntly, if the Manchus knew that the people of the Southern Sect had fled, there would be no difference between the Northern Sect. I was afraid that the people of the Confucius Mansion would defect. Maybe the children of the Northern Sect would suffer. This is the legendary land that affected the fish pond. The Kong family had seen the land. They believed that they came out in anger and were angry. In desperation, the children of the Northern Sect also persuaded their parents Kong Xing. Kong Xing sighed a few times. He could only let someone clean up the guys and bring the statues of Confucius and his wife to move south together.

They followed the refugees to board the warship. At first, they did not dare to indicate their identity. They arrived in Jiangnan and arrived in Nanjing. They revealed their identity to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. The officials of the Ministry of Rites were stunned at first, and then rushed up one after another. They quickly confirmed their identity. Without saying a word, they prepared a sedan chair to take the two heads of the family to meet. The news spread along the way. As long as the officials of each government office and department were taken out of the open space, they came over. The students of the academy also heard the news. It was noisy.

When they arrived outside Xuanwu Gate, more and more people began to report to the "Great Han General" guarding the gate. Then, they sighed and heard two people greeted each other and began to tell the scenes of fleeing south along the way. Although there was no danger, they passed by thousands of miles away, and the readers gathered outside Xuanwu Gate kept wiping their blurred eyes.

At this moment, a roar came from the entrance of Xuanwu Gate: "The Emperor is here."

Everyone was in a dangerous suit and stopped sighing. When Zhu Jun, wearing a crown suit, appeared at the entrance of the door, for a moment, the people on the three layers outside and three layers bowed down together. Long live the sounds came one after another, and endlessly.

"Who is Mr. Kong?" Zhu Jun had to look like he was thirsty and walked out of the door, with a tremendous and trembling look under his feet.

When the two cousins ​​heard the emperor's call, they immediately stepped out and saluted Zhu Jun again.

Zhu Jun did not expect that Yan Shenggong was divided into the Southern and Northern Sects, and two were released at one time. When he saw two people coming out, he felt secretly depressed. He originally planned to raise a Bodhisattva to offer it, but unexpectedly, two came at one time, and the funds were equivalent to doubled.

Although he thought so in his heart, Zhu Jun would never show it. In the past few years, the hypocritical smile on his face became more and more touching. Before the two of them could bow deeply, they quickly raised their hands and said, "You two gentlemen don't have to bow, get up quickly."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Let them stay only bad things but no good. There is also a short-term generation of emperors who support them to show respect for Confucius. So that these descendants of Confucius bully men and do all the bad things, no one dares to say a word.
