Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 499 Abolishing Shenggong, As Expected

After Ma Shiying finished speaking, the rest of the cabinet ministers also waited for Aimee Zhu to speak, and wanted to see whether Aimee Zhu was satisfied with punishing the Kong family in this way.

After all, in their view, this is already a severe punishment.

Aimee Zhu's face was still as cold as frost and snow.

She patted the dragon chair and said: "The crimes of the Confucian family in Qufu don't stop there? As far as I know, the Confucian family in Qufu was not authentic.

During the Jingkang disaster in the Northern Song Dynasty, Kong Duanyou, the contemporary Yansheng Gong, was called to the south to rebuild the Confucian family temple in Quzhou.

The Kingdom of Jin reappointed Kong Duancao, the younger brother of Kong Duanyou, as Yanshenggong in Shandong. Later, when the Mongols went south, they reappointed Kong Yuanyong, another Yanshenggong.

Later, when Kublai Khan ruled the world, he wanted to call Kong Zhu, the then Duke Yansheng of Quzhou, to the north to listen to the seal, but Kong Zhu refused on the grounds that he wanted to guard the ancestral grave.

Afterwards, the Beikong conferred by Meng Yuan was severely infighting, so that the lineage was adjusted to zero. In the Yanyou period of Meng Yuan, a Mongol was conferred as Yan Shenggong of Beikong, and it was passed down. "

Having said that, Aimee Zhu stopped.

Because the cabinet ministers were dumbfounded.

Later generations, Yan Shenggong was suspended more than [-] years after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and was replaced by the sacrificial officer of Dacheng's most holy teacher.Later, by studying the documents left by the Confucian family, people learned the inside story that Beikong was replaced by Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty, and finally it was confirmed that Beikong possessed Mongolian DNA.

Therefore, it was the first time that Yuan Jixian and other cabinet ministers learned about this matter.

When everyone came back to their senses, Huang Daozhou was the first to ask: "Is what His Majesty said true?"

Generally speaking, courtiers should not question the emperor.

But Zhu Yu saw that Huang Daozhou and others were still a little distracted at this time, and did not care about it, and replied: "You know that I can communicate with later generations, and this matter has been verified by later generations. If we can synthesize the internal documents of the Confucian family in the north and south, we should be able to Find out.

In addition, it is proved by scientific means, but with my Ming Dynasty's current technological level, it is still very difficult to do it.

However, not to mention that Beikong is of Mongolian blood, even if it is a Han, can it be accepted that it successively surrendered to the Jin, Yuan, Qing and other foreign courts?cannot! "

Aunt Zhu expressed her attitude and gave the cabinet ministers some time to react.

Seeing that no one raised any objections, and even subconsciously nodded in agreement, she continued: "Therefore, I have decided to abolish the title of Beikongyan Shenggong, and as Cifu said before, strictly investigate all kinds of criminal evidence in Beikong and impose severe punishment.

In addition, the Beikong sacrifice land was cut down, the private land of his direct line was confiscated, and the source of private land of his offspring was strictly investigated. All illegal income or tax evasion would be confiscated!
The clansmen within the fifth line of the lineage, regardless of whether they violated the law or not, all migrated to the rest of the northern provinces!

The rest of the Kong clan in Qufu, if there is anything illegal during this strict investigation, will also be forcibly relocated to other provinces in the north!

Kong Yinzhi's family was severely punished for their crimes. Even if they were not guilty, they were sentenced to exile on Dongfan Island (Taiwan).As for Kong Yinzhi, he was escorted to Nanjing, where he was chosen to announce his crime in public and be hanged! "

Aimee Zhu's words are equivalent to convicting the Confucian family in Qufu.

But none of the cabinet ministers raised any objections.

For one thing, they knew that since Auntie Zhu said that, it meant that she had made a decision with the holy will.

Second, they also hate the Kong family in Qufu now—the Kong family in Qufu successively voted for the three foreign courts of Jin, Yuan, and Qing. Not to mention, they are still of Mongol blood in this dynasty. Doesn’t this mean that they have deceived Ming scholars for more than 200 years? ?
Is it tolerable or unbearable? !

The cabinet ministers had nothing to say, but Zhu Wei continued: "I will send Jinyiwei Nanzhen Fusi to participate in this matter, and try to find out the documentary evidence that Beikong is the blood of the Mongols. At that time, the "Daming Daily" should be announced to the world, so that the world Scholars know the true face of the Kong family in Qufu!"

The ministers came to their senses at this moment.

Ma Shiying was the first to cup his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise, this Beikong has deceived me and scholars of Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, so he should be severely punished like this."

Zhang Youyu, He Yingrui and others also seconded the proposal one after another.

Huang Daozhou then asked: "Your Majesty, since the title of Shenggong Bei Kongyan is abolished, can you give it to Nan Kong?"

"What contribution does Southern Confucianism have in our dynasty?" Zhu Wei asked back.

Zodiac Monday is silent.

In the final analysis, the Southern Confucius and the Northern Confucius are just two families descended from the descendants of Confucius.Although Nan Kong is a true descendant of Confucius, he also showed a certain amount of national integrity in the change of dynasty, but he really did not contribute much to the Ming Dynasty.

Probably because he could not accept the absence of Yan Shenggong, after more than ten seconds, Huang Daozhou persuaded: "Your Majesty, after all, Nan Kong is a descendant of the sage, teacher and descendant, and he is quite upright, so he can set an example for the scholars in the world.

Respecting Confucius and Confucianism can not only stabilize the hearts of scholars in the world, but also benefit the long-term stability of our Ming Dynasty. "

This time it was Aimee Zhu's turn to be silent.

Because Hao Guangming was talking on the other side.

"Confucianism is indeed an important core of our Shenzhou inheritance, and it has become inseparable from our national culture.

In addition, Confucianism is not all bad, there are many merits, but it has gradually become crooked since the Song Dynasty.

Another point is that if you want to expand abroad in the future, you can transform Confucianism and make it serve the expansion of Ming culture.

Therefore, you might as well learn from the later generations, and give Nankong a sacred official as an enshrined official, which can also stabilize the mentality of your Confucian scholars and prevent them from becoming chaotic all of a sudden. "

Auntie Zhu felt that what Hao Guangming said made sense.

Seeing that Huang Daozhou was still watching eagerly, she said: "Yan Shenggong voted for aliens three times, his reputation is already rotten, and the imperial court canonize Nan Kong again, and it will not be able to encourage scholars.

In this way, the Confucius family in Quzhou was granted the honorary officer of the most holy teacher, the same grade as the Tong Guozijian sacrifice wine, and was responsible for offering sacrifices to Confucius for the imperial court and scholars all over the world.Let this matter be handled by the Ministry of Rites. "

Huang Daozhou knew that Auntie Zhu didn't value Confucianism at all, and it was a compromise to be able to do this.

If he persuaded Zhu Yuxi again, maybe it would be counterproductive, so he replied: "The minister leads the order."

···
After the cabinet meeting, Aunt Zhu recruited Li Zhenwu and asked Jin Yiwei South Town Fusi to participate in the investigation of the Confucius family in Qufu.

"Be sure to try to obtain the Qufu Confucius family tree and related documents, and find out the evidence that his ancestors are Mongolians, understand?"

'It seems that His Majesty is going to completely destroy Beikong. '

Thinking this way in his heart, a strange look flashed in Li Zhenwu's eyes, and he clasped his fists in response, "I understand."

Li Zhenwu did not leave afterwards, but talked about another matter.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Nanzhen Fusi has found out some problems with Commissioner Qingzhang. It is suspected that there are nobles and big landlords behind the scenes."

With that said, Li Zhenwu presented a memorial.

Forsythia passed it on, and Auntie Zhu opened it and read it quickly, and frowned.

Because she was worried that there would be problems with the Qingzhang team, which would ruin the major event of the land tax reform, Zhu Wei asked Li Zhenwu to assign people to secretly monitor the Qingzhang teams in the counties of Yingtianfu.

Unexpectedly, in less than ten days, more than a dozen Qingzhang commissioners had problems.

Or they can't stand the temptation to be corrupt, or they are caught in a trap when handling affairs and do wrong things, and they are found to be connected to persuade them to become Xungui, landlords and traitors...
Fortunately, Auntie Zhu was mentally prepared for such things to happen, otherwise she would be furious when she saw this memorial.

Hao Guangming said long ago that the commissioners of the Qingzhang are all human beings, and there are more than 1000 of them. The land tax reform has given them considerable rights, and the court also requires that the land tax reform be promoted efficiently.So, there are bound to be some people who go wrong.

It's just that Auntie Zhu didn't expect the problem to arise so quickly.

When she came back to her senses, she said, "Continue to monitor these people and collect their criminal evidence. In addition, secretly find out who is behind the scenes."

When Li Zhenwu heard this, he understood that Aunt Zhu was going to use these troubled Qingzhang commissioners as bait to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and even catch them all at once.

For Nanzhen Fusi general, this is undoubtedly an opportunity to make great contributions.

Without hesitation, he clasped his fists and said, "I take orders!"

　First more.
