The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 462: Changing Dynasties and the Unchanging Duke of Yansheng

The period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty
Liu Qi snorted.

"He is naive, and he still wants to fight for the throne."

"He's smart, but he still came up with such a stupid idea."

"Brother's successor is the younger brother...so stupid!"

Do you think you are the State of Song?
The tradition of the Song State where the younger brother succeeds the elder brother can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty.

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
"Brothers are not as close as fathers and sons, but elder brothers are not as respected as fathers, so it is inevitable that brothers will often fight for the throne."

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin, who would be his future father and filial son, and said with mixed feelings:
"The younger brother cannot resist the desire for power, private ownership and monopoly."

"Only by limiting the succession to the throne to one person to the greatest extent possible based on the conditions of heir and eldest son, which are either given by birth or determined by heaven, can we establish a relatively clear and operational standard."

"Only in this way can we prevent the other princes from having unreasonable wishes and better avoid the situation where the princes fight for the throne and kill each other."

"This is my idea."

Li Shimin understood this, and he did the same thing later.

Li Jiancheng looked at the sky, motionless.

……

Song
An uncontrollable evil fire rose again in Zhao Kuangyin's heart!

"Brotherhood is the same as brotherhood!"

"In the end, he ended up with no descendants!"

"It's better to kill them all to prevent future troubles!"

Zhao Kuangyi, who was in tatters, suddenly turned purple.

……

On the canopy.

A Mongolian child with his hair tied in loops on both sides of his ears is sitting upright at the table.

In front of him, a Confucian scholar in a wide robe and a crown was holding the "Analects of Confucius" and explaining the meaning of the classics.

As the scholar continued his explanation, a look of admiration gradually emerged on the child's face.

……

[When Emperor Renzong of Yuan was young, his mother hired the famous scholar Li Meng as a tutor]

[He discussed the successes and failures of ancient emperors, the relationship between ruler and subject, father and son, and the principles of governing the world.]

[Under this influence, Emperor Renzong of Yuan loved literature and admired Confucianism]

【After ascending the throne, he appointed Li Meng as the Minister of State Affairs and vigorously rectified the bad policies of the Wuzong Dynasty. 】

[On the third day after Wuzong's death, Yuan Renzong, who was then the crown prince, ordered the execution of the officials of the Secretariat for the crime of "changing the old rules and harming the people"]

[He also summoned the Han Chinese ministers who were well-versed in government affairs and had a good reputation during the reign of Kublai Khan to discuss general affairs.]

[And several measures have been taken successively]

[Stop the construction of Zhongdu during the reign of Emperor Wuzong, return the land occupied by Zhongdu to the people, abolish the Wutai Construction Department, and stop the construction of Buddhist temples in Wutai Mountain]

【According to Li Meng's request, "all construction and repairs will be stopped"】

……

Daqin
Ying Zheng looked at the sky with a sour face.

You don’t have to think too much, you can guess who they are using as an example!

There is no good thing in the Qin Dynasty, but bad things are sure to happen!

"It is the Spring and Autumn Annals that know me and judge me."

Now the Spring and Autumn Period is before us.

……

big man
Liu Bang twirled his beard and sighed.

"Luckily, we have Heng'er and Xun'er."

"Otherwise, this big man Naigong will fall into the hands of that brat Liu Che!"

"Fighting is fine, but having your head pushed by a pig? What the hell are you asking for?"

……

Han Dynasty Lingdi Period
Liu Hong thought about it.

It is not my turn to be an example when it comes to large-scale construction projects.

In front was the First Emperor, and behind was Emperor Yang of Sui.

I am nothing.

……

Sui Dynasty
Yang Jian's face darkened again.

“What a shame!”

"I should kill him!"

Dugu Jialuo was holding young Shimin, and her eyes darkened when she heard this.

What if someone brings up old matters and stirs up trouble after Shimin ascends the throne?
She looked at the sleeping baby.

To be branded as a brother-killer again?

Let the world be criticized again?
She glanced at Yang Jian who was cursing.

Tightened his arms.

And the Li family...

It's all trouble! It needs to be cleared!
……

[Faced with the precarious financial situation, Emperor Renzong of Yuan Dynasty reduced the redundant departments of the Secretariat and laid off a large number of redundant staff who were eating idle meals.]

[Abolish the various monks who had become powerful during the reign of Emperor Wuzong and withdraw a large amount of fertile land]

【The banknotes and large copper coins issued during the reign of Emperor Wuzong will be sealed and stored on a certain date. People who use them can go to the bank to exchange them. The Zhongtong banknotes issued during the reign of Kublai Khan will continue to be used.】

【At the same time, he promoted people based on their talents, no longer like Wuzong who only hired Mongols and Cumans, but was eclectic and valued talented people regardless of their ethnic origin or religious beliefs.】

[Because of his admiration for Emperor Taizong of Tang, he ordered people to translate "Zhenguan Zhengyao" into Mongolian, and also ordered people to translate "Zizhi Tongjian" and other works, and distributed them to kings, nobles, and ministers for study]

[In 1314 AD, upon the proposal of the Secretariat, Emperor Renzong of Yuan Dynasty conferred the hereditary title of Duke Yansheng on Confucius' rd-generation grandson.]

【It was also stipulated that Zhou Dunyi, the two Cheng brothers, Zhang Zai, Shao Yong, Sima Guang, Zhu Xi, Zhang Zai, Lu Zuqian and Xu Heng should be worshipped in the Confucius Temple.】

【Later, Mencius' descendants were granted the title of Duke of Zhu.】

……

{Here it comes, dynasties come and go, but the Duke of Yansheng remains forever.}
{As long as the dynasty still needs Confucian scholars to serve as officials, the Confucius family will receive courtesy from the emperor of the dynasty, so it doesn't matter to the Confucius family who is the emperor. Therefore, the "loyalty" advocated by Confucius was never taken seriously by the Confucius family.}
{The position of Yanshenggong only appeared in the Song Dynasty, which is so many years away from the Spring and Autumn Period of Confucius. Who knows whether this Yanshenggong is the real descendant of Confucius?}
{Didn't Confucius' descendants end with Kong Rong's generation? Or did I remember it wrongly? I really don't know much about it. Is there anyone who knows about it who can explain it to me?}

{Seventy-five generations of domestic slaves, twenty-five generations of traitors}

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Wei Zifu was stunned.

This curse is so dirty!

Liu Che didn't care.

I have never heard that Kong Bo Yu's learning can surpass Zi Gong's.

Confucian inheritance does not emphasize "eldest son"

but……

Liu Che still shook his sleeves in disgust.

It seems that we need to find a reason to separate Confucianism and Confucianism.

Otherwise, the consequence would be that the emperors of the Song Dynasty would blame Song Taizu.

Dragged into the quagmire for nothing.

……

Cao Wei (Wei unified timeline)
Cao Cao stroked his beard without changing his expression.

I've already killed him, what else can I do?
However, compared with the Kong family, Kong Rong did live up to the name of the Kong family.

Argue with reason and don't fear life or death.

As for the Kong family...

Cao Cao had some guesses.

There is an operation called side-branching.

According to historical records, after the Three Kingdoms period, the Five Barbarians invaded China, and there was plenty of time for manipulation during this period.

It is not difficult to have a side branch to use the tiger's skin as a banner.

Moreover, Tianmu also said that the title of Yanshenggong only appeared in the Song Dynasty.

Before that, the Kong family was just an aristocratic family.

It is possible that it changed again during the Five Dynasties period.

"In the name of a saint, you do shameful things!"

"Disgraceful to politeness!"

Liu Bei couldn't tolerate Cao Cao's logic!
"A bunch of people who insult their ancestors!"

……

Song Dynasty: Zhezong Period
Sima Guang, who was busy dealing with Zhao Ji's lineage, felt like the sky was falling!

"me……"

For Confucian scholars, being worshipped in the Confucius Temple is a great honor, even higher than being enshrined in the Taimiao.

But he definitely didn't want to get in this way!

"puff!"

In shame, anger and excitement, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He fell over his desk and fainted.

……

[In November 1313, Emperor Renzong of Yuan issued an edict to the whole country to conduct imperial examinations]

【The examination is held every three years and is divided into three parts: the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination, and the palace examination.】

[In December 1314, Li Meng was appointed as the Minister of State Affairs and was responsible for the reopening of the imperial examinations.]

[In February 1315 AD, the first imperial examination since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty finally began]

【The imperial examination system, which had been discussed and approved many times since the Yuan Dynasty, was officially implemented.】

[However, it is worth noting that Jinshi were divided into left and right lists, with Mongolians and Semites on the right list and Han Chinese and southerners on the left list.]

[The subjects of the exam and the treatment based on one’s background also vary in difficulty.]

【For example, the Mongolian and Semu peoples each had two examinations, and only tested the classics and policy questions.】

【Han people and southerners were tested in three sections. In addition to the classics and policy papers, they were also tested on ancient fu, imperial edicts, imperial decrees, chapters, memorials, etc.】

[Moreover, all Mongolians who passed the imperial examination were granted the sixth rank, while the Semites and Han people were given a lower rank.]
