Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 459 How about my Kong Family going out with the Qing Dynasty?
Qufu, Confucian Ancestral Hall.

Kong Yuqi, Confucius No.60, the seventh generation Yansheng Gong, is sitting in the nave, holding a letter in his hand.

Looking at the glaring four big characters of "Shixiu surrender table" on this letter paper, I feel my head buzzing.

This is nothing else but Zhu Kezang's response to his Confucian family.

Almost outright shame!

As if to say, the loyalty of the Kong family is not rare in Ming Dynasty!
Kong Yuqi sat down on the ground and murmured: "It's over, it's over!"

The expression on his face was full of confusion and pain.

Kong Yuqi was born in 1657 and was only 30 years old. Apart from his ancestral skills, he also knew how to read some books. He never encountered such a situation.

As the war situation in the north gradually became clear, Ming took control of Zhili, and the Qing emperor "Kangxi" announced his abdication. Now, the restoration of Ming has become a recognized fact in the world.

With the rich experience of the Confucian family in repairing the list, it is natural to be aware of this.

Now that they are aware of this, the Kong family will definitely take corresponding actions in order to preserve their prosperity and wealth.

For example, taking the initiative to hand over the list to Zhu Kezang was the solution that the Kong family came up with after deliberation.

It's just a pity that Zhu Kezang didn't buy it when faced with the Kong family's overtures.

Da Tianzi also sent the four characters of Shixiu Jiangbiao to the Kong family as a humiliation.

If this is Europa Universalis, the relationship will be reduced by 60 points.

The humiliation is fine, the key is whether to accept the allegiance of the Kong family or not!

You say humiliate, but accept the allegiance of the Kong family, then everything is easy to say!
Those descendants of the Confucian family can add a money rattail to Confucius, what's the point of stepping on your new Ming Dynasty?
As the saying goes, if you have a thick skin and eat enough, you can't eat it standing up, but at worst, eat it on your knees.

"How dare that Zhu Kezang, how dare he!"

"My Confucian family is a descendant of a sage and is an orthodox Confucianist. Isn't he afraid of cutting himself off from the world if he does this?"

"Also, if my Confucian family doesn't recognize his true Confucianism, he still has to come and beg us!"

The clan elders of the Kong family kept raising doubts, their voices were all stern.

However, the faint uneasiness and fear hidden behind their stern voices and expressions cannot be faked.

Kong Yuqi's complexion was frighteningly dark when he heard the noise in the lobby.

Someone saw Kong Yuqi's dark complexion, and gradually fell silent.

The lobby gradually became quiet, and no one made a sound.

Seeing this scene, Kong Yuqi jumped off the ground, stood up and shouted angrily: "Arguing, keep arguing!"

"Why are you not noisy?"

"Why do you quarrel here? Can the quarrel change Daming's attitude towards my Kong family? Can it kill Daming?"

"..."

When everyone heard the words, they all fell silent in an instant.

Kong Yuqi looked around with sharp eyes, and then spoke.

"The most important thing for my Qufu Confucian family now is how to resolve this catastrophe!"

"If not, no matter how tough we are here, no matter how much we slander Daming, will it be of any use?"

Kong Yuqi inherited the title of Lord Yansheng from 1667, that is, when he was ten years old, and he was somewhat majestic.

As soon as his words fell, everyone really started to think of a way.

An elder of the Confucian family stood up and said, "How about my Confucian family leaving customs with the Qing Dynasty?"

Good guy, now the old man of the Kong family is thinking that good horses don't eat grass, he has done too much before, and now he is loyal to Daming, how ugly!

During the Chongzhen Dynasty, Daming had the utmost love for the Confucius family. He named Kong Yanzhi, the No.60 fifth-generation grandson of Confucius, as the prince's Taibao and Prince's Taifu, and became the prince's teacher. The family of Confucius also truly felt the mighty grace of the emperor.

Chongzhen treats them so favorably, even if they don't fight the Qing Dynasty to the death, at least they can still have some integrity.

As a result, after the Qing army entered the customs in 1644, Emperor Shunzhi ascended the throne in Shuntian. On the second day of Shunzhi's accession to the throne, Kong Yanzhi, the Duke of Yansheng who was conferred by the Chongzhen Emperor, sent a congratulatory message-"First Entry Form".

In the table, Kong Yanzhi flattered the monarchs of the Qing Dynasty for "inheriting the sky and governing the sky, and suspending the people with virtue", "the six universes wear the gods together", "the holy emperor of the eight wastelands and salty songs", "the mountains and rivers are in harmony with the sun and the moon", "Guo Zuo The same person Han Bingyong", also claimed with sincerity and fear: ministers and others are steadfast in Confucianism, Zhang Jian is at the end of his life, he has inherited the great kindness of generations, and now he is celebrating the prosperity of the new dynasty.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty had just entered the Central Plains, and urgently needed to make a gesture to show their obedience to the destiny, so Kong Yanzhi was immediately established as a model, and the Qing government still issued an imperial edict to seal Kong Yanzhi as Yan Shenggong, and let his whole family be promoted. Lord.

How much I licked Taqing back then, and how uncomfortable it is now.

So instead of recognizing the new father, it is better to follow Da Qing all the way to the dark!
As a result, as soon as the clan elder's words came out, Dang even received countless objections.

"No!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"The descendants of the Kong family, how can we appoint the mausoleum and go to the wasteland outside the pass? Don't we abandon our ancestors?"

Everyone in the Confucian family bit their words one after another and sternly opposed it.

What this official means is that the tomb of the ancestors is in Qufu, how can we abandon it?
However, the most real reason is not because Confucius' tomb is in Qufu, but because the properties of the Confucius family are all in Qufu.

Once the Kong family leaves Qufu, their property will shrink, or even more.

Even if the Kong family can take all the money, can they still move all the houses?

In addition, the reason why the Confucian family can stand for thousands of years.

In addition to the impact of the identity of the descendants of Confucius on the world, the more important reason is that the Confucius family has been rooted in Shandong for thousands of years and has long been deeply rooted.

At least, the gentry and even local officials in the state capital near Qufu followed the lead of the Confucian family.

This kind of Kong family is powerful and famous. As long as they kneel down in time, generally speaking, the ruler will not touch them.

But by the same token, once the Kong family left Qufu and Shandong, they would be nothing.

As long as they leave Shandong, the only thing left for the Kong family is fame!

But how much is fame worth?

When the scene fell into silence, an elder of the Confucian family stood up: "The Confucian family is descended from saints and has a great influence on Shilin. The Kong family said to intercede!"

"My Kong family will make some more appropriate statements, donate a sum of money to the court, and then let Yu Qi think about his mistakes, and ask the court to replace him with a new Duke Yansheng!"

"Perhaps this matter should also pass!"

"Da Mingzi is young and energetic, and young people are soft but not hard. If the Kong family wants to achieve their goals, they must not be hard!"

The people in the lobby agreed one after another, looking at Kong Yuqi one by one, as if expecting his statement.

When Kong Yuqi heard this, the expression on his face kept changing.

Let him go to self-imprisonment, but also cut off his title, how can he look good?

However, after thinking for a while, he found that what the clan elder said might be the only choice for the Kong family.

Kong Yuqi nodded and said, "Let's do it this way!"
