First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 67

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

After they were sent away, Zhu Biao had just rested for a while, when he received an order that Zhu Biao should go to the gate of the city to meet Duke Yan Sheng.

Naturally, a descendant of him would not have much respect for the so-called descendants of saints, and he also knew the rumors about the lineage of Duke Yan.

The ugly point is that they have done nothing good except to smear Confucius. It has been a habit for tax evasion and exploitation of the common people since the past dynasties.

Relying on the status of Confucianism, this huge family drank blood on the bodies of previous dynasties. They were already too decadent, and they had no concept of a country or nation.

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

The actual actions of Yanshenggong in the past dynasties tell us 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, but got up to greet him. To be honest, this was Zhu Yuanzhang's right to the country, and he didn't need the support of the Confucius House to show his orthodoxy.

Otherwise, there is no reason why Duke Yansheng came to pay his respects. It would be good for him Zhu Biao not to go to the Confucius Mansion to worship Confucius in person.

The status of the Confucius family in China is so special that even Zhu Biao thinks that they have become like the popes of Europe, and the rulers of the past dynasties need to be crowned by the pope to be justifiable.

Zhu Biao thought about it all the way. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to destroy this family. This family is unfamiliar. No matter how much honor you gave him, they all felt that it was due. Isn't it right for the descendants of the Holy Master!"

Historically, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the contemporary Yan Shenggong was in favor of both parties. He wanted to curry favor with both Bei Yuan and Zhu Yuanzhang. He was reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang and resolutely abandoned Yuan Court. They made the right bet, and the Confucian family prospered for more than 200 years.

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, "Yansheng Gong" was raised by the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and once again showed the family's ability. Before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Confucius family courted Li Zicheng.

However, Li Zicheng's potential to conquer the world seemed to be insufficient, and 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 adaptability of the Kong family. When Yuan Shikai was restored, the Kong family seemed to see the opportunity and showed their loyalty to Yuan Shikai...

Zhu Biao left the palace all the way, with a modest and warm smile on his face, but his eyes were as cold as frost. !

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

As soon as they left the palace, a group of high-spirited ministers were waiting for Zhu Biao. When they saw him, they hurriedly saluted and said, "My ministers see your Highness."

Zhu Biao asked with a smile, "Why are the Qing families waiting for this palace here?"

Immediately, someone returned impatiently and said: "Yansheng Gong is here, I and other Confucian disciples will welcome it in person, please lead your servants to greet him.

Zhu Biao responded cheerfully and looked at the excited officials with deep eyes. There are Censor Zhongcheng Zhang Yi, Zhongqin Bo Wang Guangyang, Hanlin Bachelor Chengzhi Song Lian, even Dongou King Tang He, Changsha King Li Shanchang!

Zhu Biao actually knew in his heart that the Confucian disciples were many talented people, and these people knew what they were doing better than anyone else.

It is understandable to say that Song Lian, a Confucian scholar, respects Confucius. Like Tang He, you haven't even passed the exam as a scholar, and you are too embarrassed to kowtow to Confucius, insisting that you are a Confucian disciple?

He just wanted to rub off on Confucius' legacy and give himself some fame.

In fact, Zhu Biao didn't hate Confucius, he himself had read the book of sages and sages for ten years, and what he hated was only the smelly Confucius mansion.

All the way to the gate of the city, the frame of Confucius Mansion had already arrived, and Zhu Biao could smell the incense when he was far away. When Zhu Biao led the people to walk over, he was almost five meters before someone helped Yan Sheng. Gong Conne got out of the carriage.

Just as Zhu Biao was about to speak, he heard someone behind him eagerly trying to speak to Duke Yan Sheng first.

Zhu Biao slowly turned his head, still wearing a noble smile on his face, but he could clearly feel that the corners of his raised mouth slowly calmed down, the cold light in his eyes seemed to penetrate the hearts of others, and the extreme contrast scared everyone behind him. people.

Li Shanchang and the others immediately quieted down, the face that was flushed with excitement instantly turned white, and the noisy voice between heaven and earth disappeared.

Only then did Zhu Biao turn around and the sun was shining brightly, and he tidied up his sleeves respectfully and said: "Yan Sheng Gong has worked hard all the way, the Holy Master specially sent this palace to greet him, and the Holy Master will take care of Yan Sheng Gong in the evening. "

Kong Kejian, Duke Yansheng, took a deep look at the distinguished young man in front of him, and replied, "How can He De, when the old man pays respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, bothers His Highness to greet him in person.

Zhu Biao hurriedly supported him with his own hands and spoke softly and politely, but he cursed inwardly.

It was almost time to see, Zhu Biao glanced back, and those ministers reacted immediately, and surrounded Duke Yan Sheng to greet him.

Zhu Biao quietly withdrew a little, and half of those ministers stayed where they were, and did not step forward.

It took about an hour for me to enter the city.Zhu Biao personally sent the people from the Confucius Mansion into the former Wu Wang Mansion, and Zhu Biao returned to the palace.

All the way to the imperial study room, only to learn that the saint is in the imperial garden, so Zhu Biao had to go to the imperial garden.

As soon as he entered the imperial garden, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang staring at an old tree. Zhu Biao approached and said, "Go back to the emperor, my son has already settled the people in the Confucius residence."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then raised his hand and waved.

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

Zhu Biao looked at the bearded chin in front of him and said, "Erchen wants to destroy the Confucius Mansion. They are too big, and their every move can affect the political situation."

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

Zhu Yuanzhang took his son and walked away, and said again: "The Confucius Mansion is still useful now, and even if it wants to destroy it, there is no rush. First, we must lower the status of Confucius, attack Confucianism, and then cultivate another sage who is lacking... …

Zhu Biao nodded straight after hearing this, but thought in his heart that it is no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang would support Cheng Zhu Li in history, telling the world to stop offering sacrifices to Confucius, and at the same time withdraw the tablet of Mencius from the Confucian Temple.

Originally, according to the plan, after the Confucius Mansion was destroyed, Cheng Zhuli was destroyed.It is a pity that after Zhu Di usurped the throne, the people's hearts were unstable, so he did not continue to implement the plan, and even in order to strengthen his own legitimacy, he had to add Enkong Mansion.
