If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 197 The Kong Family Rebellion
"Inappropriate! The Kong family are all descendants of saints, the family of Kong saints! Such a trap, if the news leaks out, will be criticized by the world, and even make our Ming Dynasty unstable!" Zhu Gaochi did not pay attention to Zhu Zhankun's words He was talking about assassinating the prince, but he was more concerned about the political significance of the matter itself.

The royal family wants to deal with the Kong family. If this news spreads, it will indeed shake the Ming Dynasty. It will even make people think that the emperor is not in the right position, or is not a wise king.

This is not an unfounded worry of Zhu Gaochi, but a fact that makes people laugh.

The Confucian school does have such an exaggerated influence, or in other words, Confucianism itself has such an astonishing influence.

After all, the influence of Confucianism has been deeply ingrained in Chinese civilization since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism and deposed hundreds of schools of thought. Confucian disciples were needed in all dynasties to govern the world, and Confucian thought was needed to educate the people.

If Confucianism and imperial power were at odds with morality, it would indeed destabilize the country and even affect the emperor's legitimacy.

For Zhu Di, the emperor who was unable to succeed to the throne, this legitimacy was what he cared about most, so he naturally paid special attention to it.

So after Zhu Gaochi said this, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhankun and smiled at him: "Boy, did you hear that? The Kong family is related to the safety of the country and the stability of the Ming Dynasty. As a grandfather, do you really not want to touch them? No!"

"It is precisely because the Confucius family is related to the safety of the country and the authentic world culture that the Beizong must be eradicated." However, Zhu Zhanjuan did not give up his idea because of the attitudes of Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi. Instead, he spoke righteously to the two of them. Said.

When Zhu Zhanyu said this, Zhu Di did not express his opinion, but his eyes showed agreement.

But Zhu Gaochi didn't understand, or he didn't turn around, and still asked Zhu Zhanyu: "Why? The Confucian family has been inherited for thousands of years, and it is the spirit of the world's scholars. You also said that they are the world's cultural heritage. Zhengzong, if you touch the Confucius family, you will touch the world's context, and the country and the country will inevitably be shaken, why don't you kid listen?"

"Dad, not to mention that the Northern Sect of the Kong family was usurped by the Mongols as early as the Yuan Dynasty by pretending to be direct lineage. Just one Kong family represents the world's context. To disturb them is to shake the world. Any emperor We should all destroy them." Faced with his fat father's sincere words, Zhu Zhanquan directly gave a very heavy answer: "How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed? The Kong family has the influence to shake the world. If they are obedient, they can naturally place clay sculptures of Bodhisattvas as offerings.

But what if the Kong family disobeys?What if they jump out and say that the former Yuan Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the world, and the Ming Dynasty is just a traitor who plots to usurp the throne and rebel? "

Zhu Zhanju's words were not framed against the Confucian family out of thin air. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to attack Qufu, and when he invited the Confucian family to come to Nanjing, the Confucian Yan Shenggong did not give him anything. Zhu Mianzi asked his son to come because he was ill.

In the eyes of the Kong family, Zhu Yuanzhang was not orthodox. Orthodox could only be Meng Yuan who had added a lot of favors to them.

That is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed awesome, and his successor Zhu Di is no less impressive. Two generations of emperors from the Zhu family destroyed the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties. The Kong family has become a little more honest in recent years.

However, the good times did not last long. With the defeat of the Baozong, the Kong family became dishonest again. In the Ming Dynasty, the Kong family did not even use the title given by the Ming Dynasty.

Just ask, I can't look down on the nouveau riche of the Zhu family.However, when the Qing Dynasty came, the Kong family was impatient and gave Dorgon a surrender order. Just like when he was loyal to the Mongolian Yuan, he shaved his hair and changed clothes, and grew a money rat tail.

Even when the Japanese invaders invaded China in later generations, the Confucius family directly surrendered to the Japanese pirates. They also stood up and said that "monarchs, ministers, father and son" gave platform to the Japanese pirates and the puppet Manchukuo, highlighting a model of surrender for generations and promoting the Holy Duke from generation to generation.

Having said all this, Zhu Zhanjuan seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he added: "Taking a step back, what if the Kong family is not satisfied with being a family of saints and wants to sit on the dragon's throne?"

"Heart-destroying words! Heart-deathing words!" Zhu Gaochi immediately shouted loudly, and quickly turned around to look at the emperor, wanting to explain to the Kong family, but Zhu Di's raised hand made all his words They were all gagged.

At this time, the smile on the emperor's face had disappeared, and there was murderous intent in his eyes. He asked Zhu Zhanquan seriously: "The Kong family was usurped by the Mongols. Is there any evidence for this?"

"During the Yanyou period of the BC Yuan Dynasty, the second generation of Kong Zhi died of illness, and his son Kong Sicheng inherited the Duke of Yansheng. However, he was opposed by his tribe because he was not a legitimate descendant. Therefore, Emperor Renzong of the Yuan Dynasty established Kong Sihui, the grandson of the fourth generation of Kongsheng, as the third generation of Duke Yansheng.

According to research, this son is the son of Kong Huan, the grandson of Kong Zhihou, the great-grandson of Kong Yuanxiao, and the great-great-grandson of Kong Fu. However, Kong Yuanxiao is the brother of Kong Yuanyong, the Duke of Dai Yan. There is no historical record or evidence for this lineage. You can check, I have ordered people to investigate this matter, and the result is..." Zhu Zhanyu stopped here, seeming to be selling off, but the other three people in this fashionable study room all knew what he didn't say. What means.

Zhu Di's nose flapped constantly and his chest rose and fell. He was obviously extremely angry, but he still restrained his anger and said to Zhu Zhanchen: "What is it? Keep talking."

"The result is that Kong Sihui was a Mongolian who changed his name, but his ancestry is still Mongolian." What Zhu Zhanquan said is not nonsense, but later generations sequenced the genes of the Kong family, and Beikong found that half of them were Mongolians. From this, we can derive the fact that Kong Sihui changed his surname by the Mongols: "And after he inherited the title of Duke Yansheng, he made extensive revisions to the Kong family genealogy, and even made up the story of 'Confucius was in chaos at the end of his life, and his foreign surname was usurped'" The story of "Zhuzong" is to divert attention and correct the legitimacy of his successor Yan Shenggong.

However, the story about the late Confucius and Confucius was completely fabricated by Kong Sihui, and from his generation onwards, the Confucius family was highly used by the Yuan Dynasty. The reasons are thought-provoking. "

After Zhu Zhanjun finished speaking, Zhu Di's face was gloomy and showed no emotion or anger, while Zhu Gaochi's face was pale and looked in disbelief.

On the contrary, Zhu Gaosui lowered his head and showed no expression, but he couldn't hide the gloating look in his eyes.

After a long silence, Zhu Di finally said: "What I said today must not be leaked. If anyone tells it, I will kill his head."

"According to the order!" The three people hurriedly bowed their heads and obeyed the order. This matter cannot be said out loud, and the three of them all know the importance of it.

However, just when Zhu Gaochi thought that was the end of today's matter, Zhu Di added something that made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave: "Prince, go back and be prepared to inspect Shandong."
