Chapter 379 Seventy-two generations of family slaves, twenty-five court two ministers.
Perhaps Confucius was unintentional at that time, but he underestimated his own influence. As a Confucian saint, his every move would influence the scholars in the world.
Although he disliked the poverty and danger of Qin, his words made the scholars in the world unwilling to enter Qin, and thus the princes in the world were inferior to Qin.
Confucius also has certain responsibilities for the reason why the Qin Dynasty is so miserable.
As a person from the Ying family, he naturally had no good feelings for Confucianism and Qufu, so he let Mencius and others enter Northern Liang but did not want the Kong clan.
Anyone born as a human being holds a grudge.
Ying Jichang knew clearly how difficult the Qin State was. With his protection and Shang Yang's reforms over the years, Qin State was just on the right track.
What's more, the Kong family in history was lifted up by the Chinese people, but it was a mess.
Ying Jichang knew in his heart that no family could last forever in Chinese history. Even the Li family, which built the prosperous Tang Dynasty, had only been glorious for more than 300 years.
However, in the history of China, there was a family that had been prosperous for more than two thousand years, and it was extremely prosperous until later generations. In the history of China, the status of any family cannot be compared with that of this family.
This is Confucius' family.
Since Emperor Wu of Han abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, Confucianism became the orthodox idea of the feudal dynasty. Since Confucianism is respected, we must treat Confucius' descendants well.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty awarded him, and the descendants of the Confucius family were in charge of national rituals and sacrifices to worship the king. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, the descendants of Confucius were Yanshenggong, which led to the imitation of Yanshenggong in all subsequent feudal dynasties following Yanshenggong and thus passed on for several generations.
Although Confucius was the most sage and wise man and made indelible contributions to the development of China's ideas, his descendants were all traitors and traitors.
Someone once gave this group of Yan Shenggong a new name to the 72 generations of domestic slaves and 25 dynasties.
In the vast history, whenever the dynasty changes, the first one to surrender to the new regime is often the Yansheng Gong.
Even surrendered to the alien race.
During the Song and Jin dynasties, the Jin Kingdom invaded Song dynasty in a massive attack. Confucius' forty-eight generations descendants Kong Duanyou, but in the name of Emperor Gaozong of Song, fled to the south with the wooden statue of Confucius on his back and ignored it.
Kong Yuancuo, the grandson of the same Kong Duanyou, immediately flattered Kublai Khan when the Yuan Dynasty army invaded, and used his identity and prestige of Yansheng Gong to win over Kublai Khan's literati in the Jin Dynasty, and acted like a servile and humble kneeling.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Kong Kejian became a double-faced person to preserve the Confucius Mansion's status in troubled times.
At the end of the Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Kong family once again surrendered to his new master. Kong Yin submitted a letter to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he said that the Kong family was willing to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty.
In order to show the sincerity of the Kong family, Kong Yinzhi even led Confucius' descendants to shave their hair and change their clothes to express their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.
The most tragic thing is that during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Germany forcibly occupied Jiaozhou Bay, and the Confucius Mansion in Shandong actually invited the portrait of German Emperor William II to the Confucius Mansion and worshipped with Confucius.
During the period when Britain occupied Weihaiwei, another portrait of Edward III was added to the ancestral hall of the Confucius Mansion.
In addition, an invitation issued in 1938 was retained in the Confucius Mansion archives. In this invitation, the people invited were leaders of the Japanese invaders in Shandong and many great traitors.
Ying Jichang felt a little respect for Confucius. After all, Confucius was also a person who was proud of China. However, when he thought of what his descendants had done with the Kong family, Ying Jichang was reluctant to destroy the Kong family.
Ying Jichang glanced at Confucius, then chuckled and said, "Master, I don't know where the classics are. After I finish reading them, I will leave on my own."
Confucius knew in his heart that it was not a short time to get closer to Ying Jichang. As soon as he thought of this, he said to the old man at the door: "Take King Beiliang to the library!"
"promise."
After saying that, he chuckled at Ying Jichang and said, "I have read the classics in the library for a long time, so I will not accompany the king to come here."
"good."
Regarding Confucius' unwilling to go, Ying Jichang naturally enjoyed seeing his success. After all, with Confucius here, he would be uncomfortable.
The library is large, about the size of a basketball court. Although it is a wooden building, it has three floors.
There are patterns everywhere in the formation, and Haoran’s righteousness is hidden. It is obvious that this is the important place of the Kong family, and the door is strictly guarded.
But Ying Jichang also knew in his heart that this was just the external heritage of the Kong family, and the real heritage was that Confucius could not take him there.
This is the bottom line!
Ying Jichang knew this well and understood it. In this era, a volume of practice can change a person's destiny.
A volume of martial arts is also where a sect and a country settles.
There is a Tao, and the Tao cannot be passed on lightly, that's it.
Under the gaze of the Kong family guards, Ying Jichang walked into the library. He did not go to understand, but found the core of Confucian classics to remember.
Three days are too short, even if Ying Jichang is talented, he cannot understand anything. He can only record the classics, compare them with the classics in his memory, and then walk out a new path.
After all, Ying Jichang has exchanged Confucian classics in the system, but there are many missing.
When he came to the library, Ying Jichang had only one idea in his mind, which was to fill in some of the missing Confucian classics.
...
"Ancestor, are you just letting the King of Northern Liang enter the library like this?" Confucius bowed to Confucius, his eyes a little resentful.
In his opinion, although the King of Northern Liang is very famous, now that their Kong family does not need to be afraid of the Prince of Northern Liang at all.
Kong's library is full of secrets, how can an outsider enter?
Hearing this, Confucius glanced at Confucius and said in a deep voice: "This is my promise to the King of Northern Liang. I will enter the library for three days."
"What's more, the library is not the core..."
Confucius knew in his heart that the King of Northern Liang was too strong, and he alone was not enough to suppress it. In such a situation, he could only fulfill his promise.
Moreover, if they want to do something on the Central Plains, they must reconcile with the King of Northern Liang and hold 300,000 Northern Liang troops, which is a force that is enough to change the situation in the Central Plains.
The most important thing is that Confucius believed more or less about the incident of the massacre in Ying Jichang's words. He knew in his heart that if it was true, he had to cooperate with the King of Northern Liang.
Even if the King of Northern Liang understood it, it would be just an increase in Confucian power, which was also a good thing for him.
As soon as he thought of this, Confucius turned to Confucius and said, "Give me instructions to recruit students in Jixia Academy and Qufu Academy."
