First Prince of Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 67 Greeting the Holy Duke

  The next morning Zhu Biao dealt with the military affairs with Chang Yuchun, Quanxu and others, and arranged for Quanxu to be responsible for the military discipline of the army outside the city.

  After sending them away, Zhu Biao had just rested for a while, when he received an order saying that Zhu Biao should go to the city gate to meet Yan Shenggong.

  As a descendant of him, naturally he would not respect the so-called descendants of saints, and he also knew the rumors of the lineage of Yan Shenggong.

  The ugly point is that they have done nothing good except to discredit Confucius. It has been a habit to evade taxes and exploit the people throughout the ages, and they are experts in surrendering when the weather changes.

  Relying on the status of Confucianism, this huge family drank blood on the bodies of successive dynasties. They are already too decadent, and they have no concept of a nation.

  As long as the interests of the Confucian government can be guaranteed, he doesn't mind endorsing anyone. Anyway, whoever becomes the emperor must maintain the status of Confucius as the most holy teacher.

  Yanshenggong of all ages told us with practical actions that a person's nobility does not lie in his blood, but in his morality; a person's morality does not lie in his knowledge, but in his behavior.

  Zhu Biao sighed, and got up to greet him. To be honest, this is Zhu Yuanzhang's righteousness of the country, and he doesn't need the support of the Confucian government to show his orthodoxy.

   Otherwise, there is no reason for Yan Shenggong to come to see him. It would be good if Zhu Biao didn't go to the Confucian mansion to worship Confucius in person.

  The status of the Confucian family in China is so special that even Zhu Biao thinks that they have become like European popes. The rulers of all dynasties need to be crowned by the pope to be justified.

Zhu Biao walked and thought all the way, the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to destroy this family. This family is not familiar with it. No matter how much glory and honor you give him, they think it should be "you respect the most Shouldn’t the descendants of the sage ancestors be the right ones!”

Historically, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the contemporary Yan Shenggong wanted to curry favor with both sides. He wanted to curry favor with both Bei Yuan and Zhu Yuanzhang. He was reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang and resolutely abandoned Yuan Court. Year.

  During the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the "Yan Shenggong" was enshrined by the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and once again demonstrated the family's ability. Before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Confucian family flattered Li Zicheng.

   But Li Zicheng's potential to conquer the world still seemed not enough, so he was decisively abandoned.

  Before everyone realized that the Qing Dynasty was going to seize the world, they defected to Shunzhi.

   I have to admire the resilience of the Kong family members. When Yuan Shikai was restored, the Kong family seemed to see an opportunity and expressed their loyalty to Yuan Shikai...

Zhu Biao walked out of the palace all the way, with a gentle and warm smile on his face, but his eyes were as cold as ice. The time has not yet come, the country has just established, and the imperial examination has not yet started. At this time, the Kong family can’t be moved, and he even wants to add grace !

  Politics is like this, you can't be willful, you must make the right choice at the right time!

  As soon as he left the palace, a group of high-spirited ministers were waiting for Zhu Biao. When they saw him, they all hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I will see you."

  Zhu Biao asked with a smile: "Why are you waiting for me here?"

   Immediately, someone returned impatiently: "Yan Shenggong has arrived, and I will wait for the Confucian disciples to greet him personally, please Your Highness lead the ministers to greet him.

  Zhu Biao responded cheerfully, and looked deeply at the excited officials. Here are Yushi Zhongcheng Zhangyi, Zhongqin Bo Wang Guangyang, Hanlin Bachelor Chengzhi Song Lian, and even Dongou King Tang He and Changsha King Li Shanchang!

  Zhu Biao actually knew in his heart that Confucian children are so talented, and these people know what they are doing better than anyone else. If they all sincerely respect Confucius, then Zhu Biao would feel sick.

   It is understandable to say that Song Lian, a famous Confucian scholar, respects Confucius. Like Tang He, you have not even passed the examination of a scholar, so you have the nerve to kowtow to Confucius and insist that you are a Confucianist?

   I just want to rub off the legacy of Confucius and gain some fame for myself.

  Zhu Biao doesn’t actually hate Confucius, he himself has read sage books for ten years, what he hates is just the stinky Confucius Mansion.

Walking all the way to the gate of the city, the frame of the Confucian Mansion had already arrived, and Zhu Biao could smell the incense from a long distance away. When Zhu Biao led the people to walk over, it was almost five meters before someone helped Yansheng Gong Conne got out of the carriage.

  Just as Zhu Biao was about to speak, he heard someone behind him impatiently wanting to talk to Yan Shenggong first.

Zhu Biao turned his head slowly, with a dignified smile still on his face, but he could obviously feel that the corners of his raised mouth were slowly calming down, and the cold light in his eyes seemed to pierce into the bottom of others' hearts. The extreme contrast frightened everyone behind him. people.

   Li Shanchang and the others immediately quieted down, their faces that were originally flushed from excitement turned pale in an instant, and the noisy voices between heaven and earth disappeared in an instant.

Only then did Zhu Biao turn his head back to face the sun shining brightly, straightened his sleeves respectfully and said: "Yan Shenggong has worked hard all the way, the Holy One specially sent me to welcome him, and in the evening the Holy Majesty will clean up the dust for Yan Shenggong. "

  Yan Sheng Gong Kong Kejian took a deep look at the noble young man in front of him, and replied: "This old man pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. How can He De bother His Highness to welcome him personally? This is unreasonable. Your Highness, please accept this old man's respect!"

  Zhu Biao hurriedly supported him with his own hands, and spoke softly and politely, but cursed secretly in his heart.

   Seeing that it was almost time, Zhu Biao glanced back, and the ministers immediately reacted, booing around Yan Shenggong to ask for his warmth.

  Zhu Biao backed out a little silently, and half of the ministers stayed where they were, and did not step forward.

   It took about an hour like this before entering the city. Zhu Biao personally sent the people from the Confucian Mansion into the former Wu Wang Mansion, and Zhu Biao returned to the palace.

  He went directly to the Imperial Study Room all the way, but learned that the Holy One was in the Imperial Garden, so Zhu Biao had no choice but to go to the Imperial Garden.

  Just after entering the imperial garden, I saw Zhu Yuanzhang staring at an old tree. Zhu Biao approached and said, "Return to father, my son has already settled down the people of the Confucian mansion."

  Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then raised his hand and waved, and the people waiting on the side immediately retreated in a regular manner.

  Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and hooked his son's shoulders and asked, "What do you think of the Confucian mansion!"

  Zhu Biao looked at the bearded chin in front of his eyes and said: "My ministers want to destroy the Confucian government. They are too big, and every move can affect the political situation."

  Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction and said, "I can't say this again in the future!"

  Zhu Yuanzhang took his son and walked up, and said again: "The Confucian mansion is still useful now, and even if it is to be destroyed, there is no rush. We must first lower the status of Confucius, attack Confucianism, and then cultivate another saint with shortcomings...

  Zhu Biao nodded straight after hearing this, but he thought in his heart that no wonder Zhu Yuanzhang would support Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism in history, and asked people all over the world to stop offering sacrifices to Confucius.

   According to the plan, the Confucian mansion should be destroyed, and then Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism should be destroyed. It's a pity that after Zhu Di usurped the throne, the people's hearts were unstable, so he didn't continue to implement the plan, and even added grace to the Confucian government in order to strengthen his own legitimacy.
