Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 545 Shixiu surrenders to the outside world. Your Kong family is Shixiu to surrender to the outside world.
"Yes." Zhu Su remained calm and calm, as if he had a plan in mind. "My Ming Dynasty established the descendant of the Confucius family as Yan Shenggong. I originally wanted to show the world that my Ming Dynasty respected Confucianism, to express Confucius' contribution to opening up the avenue of Confucianism, and to wish my Ming Dynasty prosperity for generations to come."

"In other words, the establishment of Yanshenggong was not because of the academic achievements of Yanshenggong's house, but to show that the Ming Dynasty respected Confucianism and set a benchmark for the world's scholars."

"That's right." Lao Zhu nodded, there was nothing wrong with his words, and all the officials quietly waited for Zhu Su's next words.

"In this case, Yan Shenggong, in the name of being a descendant of Confucius, intends to interfere in the affairs of the Ming Dynasty and condemn the knowledge taught by the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty..." Zhu Su laughed.

"I dare to ask Yan Shenggong: You have no reputation as a scholar, and you have no actual position in the court. The Ming Dynasty awarded you the title of Kong family because my father cared about your ancestors' contribution to China. What virtues do you have? Yes, so that you can have such confidence to use this title to act recklessly and criticize dissenters on my father's Longevity Festival?"

These words were basically a slap in the face for Kong Xixue's mediocrity, lack of knowledge and skills. Kong Xixue's old face turned red and he argued: "Your Highness, what you said is wrong. Confucianism is my family's school of Confucianism, and I am a disciple of Confucius." , naturally everyone is familiar with Confucianism. Besides, Confucius is the ancestor of my Confucius family. I, Kong Xixue, uphold the true meaning of our ancestors and refute the new and pseudo-study. How can we criticize dissidents?"

After Zhu Su heard this, he laughed, as if he had heard a big joke. "Of course all of you Confucian disciples are proficient in Confucianism? Do you, the Confucian family, know what Confucianism is? According to this, Kublai Khan, a Mongolian who couldn't speak Chinese, was really a great Confucian master who was proficient in Confucianism. ?”

Kong Xixue was stunned by these words and looked ugly.

In the 12th year of Chunyou in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty was destroyed by Mongolia. In order to show its loyalty and surrender to the new master, the Confucius Mansion of Yan Shenggong knelt down and asked Kublai Khan, who was the Mongolian King of Monan at the time, to be the "Grand Master of Confucianism".What is ridiculous is that historical materials also record the situation when Kublai Khan met with the Confucian scholar Xu Heng, "Whenever the gentleman has a correct report, he will choose a good translator and then meet him."

You can't even speak Chinese well, and you have to rely on translators to write correctly. Why do you, Yan Shenggong Mansion, keep asking people to be the "great master of Confucianism"?
From this point of view, the so-called "everyone knows Confucianism" claimed by Yan Shenggong is really as vast as the river and the sea.

This is truly a heart-breaking statement, and Kong Xixue cannot defend it at all.Could it be that in front of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, the biggest rival of the Yuan Dynasty, he praised Kublai Khan, the founding emperor of the former Yuan Dynasty, for his profound Confucianism and unparalleled literary and martial arts?

If you dare to say that, the Kong family may not be the only one who will be undermined.

"After all, my Kong family is a descendant of Confucius, and our family has a long history..." Kong Xixue did not dare to mention the great master of Confucianism, but wanted to save it based on his identity as a descendant of Confucius.

"Do descendants of the Master have to be knowledgeable?" Zhu Su immediately refuted it. "Zhao She was such a hero in Zhao State, but his son Zhao Kuo was just talking about war on paper; the first emperor of Qin State swept across Liuhe, but his son Hu Hai was debauched and immoral... There are many cases like this in ancient history. The tiger father still has a dog son, Do you, the descendants of Confucius, really inherit the Master’s true meaning?”

"It's a shame that you dare to sacrifice to the Master, and you dare to spread the name of the Master's descendants. If I were Confucius, I would have crawled out of the Confucius Forest and strangled you unscrupulous descendants one by one with my own hands! "

"You!" Kong Xixue trembled all over.

"Father!" Zhu Su said directly to Old Zhu without giving him a chance to argue: "This is exactly the reason why the child insisted on reducing the title of Shenggong!"

"Since Renzong of the Song Dynasty conferred the title of Duke Yan, Duke Yan's family has always forgotten their ancestors and showed no shame."

"What did Confucius practice throughout his life? Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith! And how could Yan Shenggong's family ever take Confucius's teachings into heart? He had no integrity in his life."

"The Master's lifelong ambition was to restore the Zhou rites and revive China. But what about these descendants of Confucius? When gold comes, it brings gold, and when yuan comes, it brings down yuan. Even the barbarians can bend their knees and do it, and they have repeatedly betrayed Master's original intention!"

"To practice surrendering to Miao in the world is to be unkind; to practice to surrender to Miao in the world is to be unrighteous; to practice to surrender to Miao in the world is to be rude; to cultivate to surrender to Miao in the world is to be unwise; to practice to surrender to Miao in the world is to be unfaithful !”

"If you ask them how to cultivate surrender forms, Yanshenggongfu must be the first-class professional in the world. But when it comes to Confucianism, do people who are without benevolence, no justice, no reason, no wisdom and no faith deserve to be called Confucianists!"

"I, the Ming Dynasty, established the Holy Duke Yan to guide the scholars and set a benchmark for students all over the world." "But what kind of benchmark is this? Oh, the world cultivator surrendered to me... Do you want all the students of the Ming Dynasty to imitate me? , is proficient in repairing surrender tables and worshiping the bandits, are you a capricious person?"

"Does he deserve to use his status as a descendant of the Master to criticize the new learning? Bah!"

"Pfft!" Zhu Su surrendered one generation at a time. Kong Xixue wanted to interrupt several times, but he didn't know what to say. As he listened, his face turned purple. In the end, he spurted out a blood arrow and fell to the ground. on the ground.

"Oh, the old thief who surrendered to the world is not dead yet... It's a pity, otherwise I would be comparable to Zhuge Wuhou today." Zhu Su felt quite regretful when he saw that Kong Xixue's chest was still heaving.

Another "worldly cultivator surrendering to the outside world" made Kong Xixue's heart tremble.I originally wanted to close my eyes and pretend to be dead, but I was afraid that I would actually faint after hearing this, which made the Kong family become a second minister like Wang Lang in the storyteller's mouth.

Seeing that the emperor still did not move, Kong Xixue suddenly realized that from the beginning, the emperor had not cared about his identity as a "descendant of Confucius".The emperor was more than careless.Perhaps, he had already prepared to deal with the Kong family.

It's ridiculous. I thought that as a representative of Shilin, I might be able to influence the will of the founding emperor...

If the founding emperor wanted to deal with the Kong family, the life and death of the Kong family would be at stake...

No one dared to help him, so Kong Xixue had no choice but to stand up tremblingly and in embarrassment, and bowed pitifully to Lao Zhu: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive the sins of our ancestors."

"I am willing to redeem myself..."

"Don't worry, listen again. Lao Wu, you continue." Lao Zhu was unmoved.How could he not see that Kong Xixue no longer expected to overthrow Xinxue.

This is to use his own life to win the sympathy of the scholars, and at the same time, in exchange for the Kong family to still retain the title of Yan Shenggong.

How can it be so cheap.

"Yes." Zhu Su said.He looked at Kong Xixue. The old man looked downcast, and it was obvious that he could no longer compete with him.Oh, a family that has cultivated and surrendered for generations dares to gain power in the court.However, the Kong family is powerful and needs to be stepped on to completely eliminate it. At the same time, it must also eliminate future troubles for its own students.Moreover, there is another point in Kong Xixue’s criticism of Xinxue just now.

Zhu Su calmed down and said to Old Zhu: "Father, I still want to report to my father."

"Father, please... change the imperial examination and no longer stick to Confucian rules!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace began to whisper again: This Fifth Highness is really resolute.Not only do we want to overthrow the Confucian family, but we also want to uproot the very foundation on which the Confucian sect relies?
Is it really necessary to revive Baijia?I'm afraid I've gone too far.Many civil servants are ready to stand out. Once Zhu Su makes this far-reaching suggestion, they will resolutely deny it.
