Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 107 The Virtue of the Confucian Family

"The emperor... this...""

You have to think about it, this is equivalent to getting through a hornet's nest, the humble official is worried..."

Zhu Youjian would never doubt the loyalty of Qinglong and Chao Huachun summoned by the system, he knew that these two were for his consideration.

Everyone knows that "loyalty" and "filial piety" are the core of ancient Confucianism, and they have also been the ruling core of all dynasties since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty exclusively respected Confucianism.

Every emperor wants to shape himself into an image of "filial piety", and every courtier also wants to shape himself into an image of "loyalty".

Therefore, loyalty and filial piety are the most important criteria and values ​​generally recognized by the world to measure a person in ancient times.

But in 1644, Chuang Wang Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide, and then the Qing army entered the pass.

The influence of the Ming Dynasty in the south also established the Nanming Dynasty in Nanjing. However, as a descendant of Confucius, Kong Yanzhi, the Duke of Yansheng in the Ming Dynasty, seems to have forgotten the word "loyalty and filial piety".

The Qing army had just entered the customs and had not yet arrived in Beijing, and had already received Kong Yanzhi's letter of surrender.

Kong Yanzhi is the 64th grandson of Confucius, and Emperor Chongzhen treated him with great favor. During festivals, Chongzhen, who was originally extremely diligent and thrifty, would also send him rewards.

Moreover, in the third year of Chongzhen, he was also named Prince Taifu, which was the first time in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, as soon as the Qing army entered the customs, Kong Yanzhi showed a flattering attitude in the form, saying that he strongly supported Emperor Shunzhi.

And I hope that Confucian scholars all over the world will serve the Qing Dynasty. The original text of this statement is now preserved in the archives of the Confucian Mansion in Shandong.

You must know that such an act is a naked act of treason. You must know that although the Qing army had already entered the customs at that time, it even occupied Beijing later.

But Nanming had already been established in Nanjing at that time, and even Shandong at that time was still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

And he, Kong Yanzhi, was still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, so he was in such a hurry to greet his new master?

If you want to say that he is thinking about the safety of his family, it seems that he is not, because he has enough time to prepare his family to go south.

Compared with the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Confucius family had a precedent.

But Kong Yanzhi did not do this, but stayed as a slave, which seriously violated the word "loyalty" advocated in Confucianism!

What about "filial piety"?

Since Kong Yanzhi can't even achieve "loyalty", how can he achieve "filial piety"?

In the Confucian classic "The Book of Filial Piety", it is written that the body, hair and skin are received by parents, and dare not destroy them. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the so-called "hair shaving order" began to be implemented.

And this policy aroused the resentment of countless people, which is how Jiangyin City came about on the 81st.

However, Kong Yanzhi, who is a Confucian Yan Shenggong, has no shame in writing a "Sign Up on Shaved Head".

Expressed his support for the Qing government's hair-shaving order, and said that he had thoroughly implemented it. Such a performance is really impressive.

The so-called brilliance of a gentleman, beheaded for five generations, may not only refer to a family's yin and wealth, but also include a family's bonus points and conduct.

As for Confucius' family, over the past two thousand years, the family has long been decayed.

If Confucius advocated the theory of Hua and Yi, would Confucius see this "Shangshatou Manuscript", would he raise his sword and drop it?

I think it will, but now some people are calling for the restoration of the "Yan Shenggong" system, thinking that this can better inherit and carry forward traditional culture.

As far as things like Kong Yanzhi are concerned, it is really unnecessary.

If Confucius himself saw such descendants, I am afraid he himself would not be willing.

The Confucius we respect is not the Confucius family!
There is no chance for these things to happen at present, Qinglong and Cao Zhengchun certainly don't know what's going on.

So Zhu Youjian was not angry, he smiled slightly and said:

"I know you are loyal, but I have already thought about it, they have never done anything good for hundreds of years.

It's completely a soft bone, Qinglong, you can do it, Daming is still my world now, and no one can chat. "

"Humble Job Obedience"

"Wait, before you go to Shandong, send more than half of the Jinyiwei to me, and the [-] or so vassal kings will be closely monitored. If they dare to take the lead in making trouble, report it to me immediately."

"Honestly obey orders."

Qinglong led Li to open the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Cao Zhengchun looked at Zhu Youjian expectantly, and he also hoped that the emperor would give him an important job to do.

Don't look at this guy who is as obedient as a rabbit in front of Zhu Youjian, he is currently the number one expert in the Daming Palace, and even the commander of Jinyiwei, Qinglong, is not as good as him.

In the eyes of outsiders, Cao Zhengchun's name can stop babies from crying at night, absolutely kill people without blinking an eye, and is extremely vicious.

"Cao Zhengchun"

"Humble position"

Hearing the emperor call him, Cao Zhengchun immediately stood up straight, just like a good boy.

"All the Dongchang fans are sent to the south of the Yangtze River by me. I don't need to teach you how to do the following things."

Cao Zhengchun hurriedly nodded and bowed:

"Humble duty and obedience will never disappoint the emperor's expectations."

Zhu Youjian still knew Cao Zhengchun very well, so he nodded in satisfaction:
"Go, act immediately, call the white tiger Xuanwu after you go out."

"Humble Job Obedience"

In order to show his obedience to the emperor, Cao Zhengchun bowed his head and walked out of the hall before standing up straight.

Xuanwu Baihu was on duty outside the hall, and upon receiving Cao Zhengchun's notice, he quickly entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"White Tiger Xuanwu sees the emperor."

"Excuse me, Baihu leads you to lead the Jinyi Guards to patrol the capital, pay attention to see if there is anyone who is against the palace, the cabinet and the household department.

If something is wrong, the Fa will be rectified on the spot, and the safety of the palace and important officials in the court will be entrusted to you, and you must not be careless. "

"Follow your orders!"

After Baihu took the order and left, he said to Xuanwu most regretfully:

"Xuanwu"

"Humble position"

"Send your Jin Yiwei out to monitor the northern gentry officials, and the implementation of land reform and business tax increase. Do you know how to do it?"

Xuanwu hastily bowed and saluted:

"The humble official knows, and will never disappoint the emperor's expectations."

"Well, go ahead, if you don't have enough manpower, you can mobilize the local army, and Shang Fang's sword will be given to you."

Zhu Youjian said, and handed the Shangfang sword hanging beside him to Xuanwu.

Xuanwu hastily knelt down to receive the sword:
"Humble post thank you Lord Long En"

Jiangnan Wuchang
Yuhuatian led five hundred Xichang guards to escort Yue Fei, and he had already arrived in Wuchang, where Zuo Liangyu was stationed. At this time, Huang Degong was already the deputy commander here.

Under the leadership of Huang Degongli, when he first arrived in Wuchang, Zuo Liangyu was very upset, but because he didn't lead the army to serve the king with a guilty conscience, he didn't realize it too much.

Besides, Zhu Youjian, the emperor of Chongzhen, can be said to be at the height of his power, and the capital has defeated hundreds of thousands of bandits.

Li Yan led the army to sweep the northern rogues all the way again. It turned out that most of the territory occupied by Li Zicheng had been recovered, and the rogues fled in anticipation.

Even the news of the annihilation of Wu Sangui and Duoduo reached Wuchang at this time, and Zuo Liangyu was even more afraid to move against Huang Degong. After all, he came with the emperor's imperial edict.
