Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 973 Changes in Ming Dynasty

The national sentiment and patriotic enthusiasm of the people of Ming Dynasty all over the country were aroused. The students of Daming who go to free schools all over the country took to the streets to parade in an orderly way, shouting "Wan Sheng, Ming Dynasty!"
Although many of them are primary school students, their age is not young. There are many people who are fifteen or sixteen years old, and many children are from poor families who could not afford to go to school.

Most of the parents' understanding of the Ming Dynasty's policies and news events were passed on from their mouths to their parents' ears, and some people learned about it from reading newspapers.

Now every street in the city has a newspaper reading point, and there are special people who read the newspaper. Their task is to read the content of the Daming Daily at a fixed time every day, regardless of whether anyone is listening or not.

This is also a way for Ming Dynasty to publicize policies and promote patriotic education. Today is not the era when one only reads the books of sages and does not listen to things outside the window.

In the heart of the Ming emperor, those who only read sage books are nerds. How can they govern the country well?

In normal times, no matter what is right or wrong, you will spray, even the emperor will not let it go, and you will still spray when you seize the opportunity. Generals will desperately kill the enemy to defend the country. No matter how good you are.

In a few years, the children educated by Daming's new education will be the real pillars of the country, and they will also bear the future of Daming and our China, and Yan Shenggong will completely withdraw from the stage of history.

Because Yan Shenggong can only train second ministers, at least most of them are second ministers.

Confucius, who has had a great impact on people's thinking for a long time, is honored by people in various forms.

The eldest son of Confucius still had the hereditary title of "Yan Sheng Gong" in the feudal society.But with such an honorable title, with the exposure of various documents, it became a second official.

"The Confucian thought of the unification of the Spring and Autumn period was adapted to the situation and tasks faced by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"In the early Han Dynasty, the struggle between Confucianism and Taoism was very fierce. In order to gain the support of the ruler, help the spread of ideas, and enhance the glory of the family, Confucianism was further transformed into an ideological system that catered more to the ruler.

The fierce struggle of various theories is also reflected in the court.Prime Minister Wei Wan once said that the remarks of "Han Fei, Su Qin, Zhang Yi" and others will cause disasters to the state affairs, and request that they all be dismissed.

This suggestion was agreed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.The power struggle between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Empress Dowager Dou helped the rise of Confucianism to a certain extent.

Empress Dowager Dou is partial to Taoism. If she respects Confucianism, she can attack Empress Dowager Dou's faction to a certain extent.

During the consideration process of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has also been changing and developing.In 134 BC, Dong Zhongshu proposed the new Confucianism that had been changed and contained the idea of ​​a clear unity.

Because it caters too much to the rulers, some feudal dross has been added to the new Confucianism.This changed new Confucianism won the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which made Confucianism the winner in the later struggle, and became the only party respected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty after he deposed all schools of thought.

Confucianism developed rapidly after the praise of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Han Dynasty. After becoming more and more aware of the importance of the support of the ruler for the development of ideology and academics, the descendants of Confucianism will have a certain amount of time at every critical moment when the ruler may change. action.

However, this action was not for defending the country, nor for the common people, but for the rise and fall of his own family, and for the inheritance and development of Confucianism.

"Yan Shenggong is the hereditary title of the eldest son of Confucius." It can go through various dynasties, and can maintain a very important position in each dynasty.

Even when the dynasties changed many times, the status of Yan Shenggong rose instead of falling.It is not only because of the dominance of Confucianism in thought that this can be accomplished.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket." Confucianism, which most admires the so-called monarch and ministers, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, does not behave like its ideas in practice.

In history, the descendants of Confucianism who are responsible for promoting Confucianism, when faced with national turmoil, immediately used precise investment ideas to reduce investment risks by putting eggs in each basket.

During the Song Dynasty, the title of "Yanshenggong" began to appear, which from a certain perspective marked the rise of Confucianism to a new level.

However, when the rulers highly respected Confucianism and helped the spread of Confucianism, "Yan Shenggong" was watching the situation nervously.At that time, foreign enemies were stalking, and if the Song Dynasty was defeated, Confucianism would probably lose the support of the ruler.

Considering this aspect, the Kong family split urgently.Different branches of the Kong family entered different camps.Relying on their eloquent tongue and the important position that Confucianism occupies among the people after a long period of development, these people have successfully gained a firm foothold in the major camps.

At that time, there was even a miraculous situation that "Song, Jin, and Yuan each had a "Yan Shenggong"".With the change and development of the situation, Yuan won the victory and became the new ruler.

Relying on the previous method of risk sharing, "Yan Shenggong" in the Yuan Dynasty, the official rank did not fall but rose, from the initial rank 8 to rank 3 all the way.

After the situation was turbulent again later, Yuan was replaced by Ming.After undergoing the change of rulers, "Yan Shenggong" was promoted again, and his status was even listed as "the head of civil officials.

"Constantly rising power and status made Kong more and more aware of the importance of standing in line and of keeping up with the ruler.

"Grass on the wall, falling on both sides, falling wherever the wind blows.

After the establishment of the Republic of China, Kong immediately began to curry favor with the Beiyang government.

"Even when the situation of the struggle was not yet clear, Kong was already making multiple preparations. This kind of speculation even appeared when the Chinese nation was deeply suffering from war and aggression.

At that time, in the face of the Japanese army's dehumanizing behavior, Kong's thinking was not to protect the people's heroic resistance, but to quickly contact and make friends with the Japanese side.

In 1938, after Qufu, Shandong Province was captured by the Japanese army, Kong Lingyu, the Kong family, immediately "feasted the leaders of the Japanese invasion of China Tian Xie, Kubo Tim, Okita, Ayukawa, Urushitani, Nara and others",
Said to strengthen the friendly relations between China and Japan.After that, Kong Lingyu not only fought fiercely with the Wang Jingwei puppet government, but also openly stood for the Wang puppet government.

However, with the establishment of New China, people's minds gradually opened up, and people have a new understanding of the old ideas of the past.Gradually, trade-offs can be made from old ideas.

A dialectical look at the old ideas of the past through the historical materials left behind.In the process of rational research, the deified status of Confucianism has gradually declined.

After the defeat of the Ming Dynasty and the entry of the Qing Dynasty, Kong immediately knelt down to welcome the Qing Dynasty.When the imperial court announced that it was necessary to shave their hair in accordance with the custom of the Manchus, Kong, who disregarded public opinion, immediately took the lead in shaving his hair to show his loyalty to the Qing court.
