Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 40 Qufu Confucianism
Kong Yan Shenggong Mansion.

Gong Yinzhi of Yansheng stood in front of his ancestral hall in a blue cloth and white shirt.

And enshrined in the center of his Confucian ancestral hall is the Dragon Throne of Emperor Dashun Yongchang.

That is Li Zicheng's memorial tablet during his lifetime.

Kong Yinzhi went up to wipe it himself, not daring to stain the tablet with any dust.

At the same time, Kong Yinzhi asked again: "Have you brought the "First Entry Form" that Sun Zhixie and Mr. Sun helped write?" "

"Master, I have already brought it, and put it behind the memorial tablet."

The steward of the Confucian Mansion rushed to Kong Yinzhi and personally presented the "First Entry Form" behind the tablet to Kong Yinzhi.

But Kong Yinzhi slapped the butler's outstretched hand: "You lowly servant, you don't know the rules. You can touch this kind of letter dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor Dashun. Master, I will do it myself. You commit the crime yourself." For the crime of disrespect to His Majesty Emperor Dashun, I will go and get thirty sticks later!"

The Confucian housekeeper couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, and agreed.

Kong Yinzhi personally invited out the form, rubbed and wiped, wiped and wiped, and read the content carefully, but couldn't help frowning and said: "The writing is not sincere enough, order someone to correct it immediately, and make a new copy. Dashun Emperor Yongchang and the heaven, earth, sun and moon shine together!"

The steward of the Confucian mansion hurriedly wrapped his lowly hands in his sleeves, held up the form with his brocade sleeves, and asked the Qing guest in the mansion to revise it.

Here, Kong Yinzhi called his nephew Kong Xingda, who came to be in charge, and ordered: "Hide the spiritual throne of the former emperor of the Qing Dynasty first, and hide the inscription praising the regent of Jiannu first, but don't burn it. The world is still alive." I don’t know who is in charge, and it will be of great use in the future.”

As he said that, Kong Yinzhi saw that his nephew Kong Xingda was still wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't help shouting: "Hurry up and take it off! Burn my python and bullfighting suits and ordinary clothes from the Chongzhen Dynasty in the mansion. "

"Uncle, maybe this is not good. After all, Chongzhen is not dead yet. Didn't you just say that who is in charge of this world has not yet been decided?"

Kong Xingda asked a little puzzled.

Kong Yinzhi snorted: "The intruders have all hit Shandong. Is there any hope for him in Chongzhen? The world is either Li Zicheng's, or the Eight Banners outside the Guan, or Wu Sangui's, it can't be Chongzhen's, hurry up Burn it, let the Dashun army see the sincerity of our Confucian family."

Kong Xingda had no choice but to follow Kong Yinzhi's words.

At this time, Kong Yinzhi saw Kong Zhenyu, the county magistrate of Qufu, rushing over eagerly: "General Dashuntian has arrived at the official reception pavilion in Qufu County. Where is my Lord Yan Sheng, hurry up and kneel down to greet him!"

Kong Yinzhi hurriedly panicked: "Hurry up, hurry up, have you changed the form, and submit it quickly!"

……

Zhu Youjian appeared outside Qufu City with all the civil and military officials.

However, at this time, the gates of Qufu City were closed.

Although Li Mingrui, governor of Huaiyang, has determined that he will follow His Majesty Zhu Youjian unswervingly.

But as a Confucian student who has read Confucian books for decades, Li Mingrui is also sure that it is impossible for Confucianism to betray the master and the emperor.

Seeing that the city gate of Qufu was closed, Li Mingrui spoke first: "Your Majesty, it seems that the magistrate of Qufu is different from Zou Yingyong, the magistrate of Yanzhou. Well, Kong Zhenyu, the county magistrate of Qufu, obviously surrendered at the sight of the enemy."

"That's right, Kong Zhenyu, the magistrate of Qufu County, is worthy of being a descendant of a sage, and she still has good conduct. Your Majesty, I am not offending you. From my point of view, Duke Yansheng is probably commendable for his loyalty."

Because of the Confucian matter, Zhu Youjian sentenced Shi Kefa to the palace, so the officials did not dare to speak freely. Now that Kong Zhenyu, the county magistrate of Qufu, has closed the gate of Qufu City, Chen Chunde, the left deputy capital, has some confidence. Li Mingrui had already opened his mouth, and he followed suit.

Shi Kefa has changed from the supplementary uniform of the second-rank civil servant to the flying fish uniform, wearing a three-mountain official hat.

Although he had been recuperating for more than ten days and his physical pain has subsided a lot, the pain in his heart has not been reduced by half.

But now it is seen that Kong Zhenyu, the magistrate of Qufu County, did not follow the example of Zou Yingyong, the magistrate of Yanzhou, and surrendered directly.

Shi Kefa finally had some psychological comfort.

The post of county magistrate in Qufu has always been hereditary to the Confucian family, so this Kong Zhenyu can represent a certain political trend of the Confucian family.

Now that Kong Zhenyu did not open the city and surrender, Shi Kefa believed that his views and even the views of the officials were correct.

The Kong family did not embarrass Confucian scholars!
"From my point of view, I'm afraid that Duke Yan Sheng has already hanged himself in front of the statue of the most holy teacher. Your Majesty, you pretended to be a thief and attacked. I don't know how many people from the Confucian sect died because of the thieves trapped in Qufu."

Shi Kefa couldn't help but said, the tone of his voice still did not diminish his complaints about the Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian didn't care about Shi Kefa at this time, he just smiled slightly.

The group of civil servants in front of them believe in Confucian ethics, and even have deep obsessions, so deep that they can give their lives. Therefore, they naively think that the Confucian family, as the representative of Confucianism, should be the same as their ideal state of being loyal to the country. is.

But Zhu Youjian didn't know how this group of civil servants would react when they saw the monument of ideals they had always believed in collapsed.

really.

As soon as Shi Kefa's words fell.

The officials all said that Kong Zhenyu, the magistrate of Qufu County, was worthy of being a descendant of Confucianism, at least not when Kaesong surrendered.

The city gate of Qufu County suddenly opened wide!

Although Kong Zhenyu, the county magistrate of Qufu, was wearing the magistrate's gown, he didn't wear black gauze on his head. Instead, he bound his hands and brought a group of county officials and squires to Zhu Youjian's side.

Plop.

Kong Zhenyu of Qufu knelt in front of Zhu Youjian: "Kong Zhenyu, the county magistrate of Qufu in the former Ming Dynasty, and the 62nd generation grandson of Confucianism, kowtowed to the general of Dashun Youying Zhitian. Designed to kill him, now I offer his head!"

Kong Zhenyu lifted up the box containing the head of the county magistrate Zhang Zhangxiang.

But Kong Zhenyu found that he had been lifting for a long time but no one answered.

Zhu Youjian didn't respond. He rode on the horse and looked around to see the reactions of these officials.

Li Mingrui, governor of Huaiyang, stood there dumbly, his expression already stiff.

Chen Chunde, the censor of the left deputy capital, widened his eyes even more, as if he didn't believe what happened in front of him.

Dali Temple Minister Jin Xuan couldn't help but hugged his head and began to roar in pain.

Shi Kefa squeezed out an expression uglier than crying, and looked around for a thicker tree so that he could directly hit himself to death.

"Wait, maybe it's just Kong Zhenyu who was unfaithful alone, maybe Yan Shenggong won't be like this."

Shen Jiayun, the prime minister of Taipusi, said something at this time, which made the ministers nod as if they had received amnesty.

Governor of Huaiyang, Li Mingrui, and others were even more relieved, and they all thought that this was indeed the case. Although Kong Zhenyu was a descendant of Kong Shengren, she was not Yan Shenggong himself. The Kong family is so big, it is normal for one or two scum to come out.

Zhu Youjian sneered, his group of officials really believed in the Kong family, even surpassed himself as the king.
