Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji said viciously: "Today, as long as my grandson Wuji is here, no matter whether it is you, Yu Shinan, or these three thousand students from the poor family, no one can enter the Zhuque Gate to meet the emperor. Hmph , if you are still stubborn, and still linger here and refuse to disperse, don’t blame me for being cruel and bloody to suppress you barefoot scholars.”

After saying that, Changsun Wuji ignored the anger and condemnation of the students around him, and shouted towards the tower of Suzaku Gate:

"The guards of the Suzaku Gate listened to the order. If there were any students who dared to stay behind the gate and block the gates and passages, I would shoot them all with arrows, so as to warn others. All these consequences, the Holy One will blame them and the world will be infamy. My eldest grandson Wuji is responsible for it alone!"

"you dare!"

"I see who dares to shoot an arrow?"

Two screams suddenly sounded, one came from Yu Shinan who was in front of Changsun Wuji, and the other came from the square formation of three thousand students.

The voice in the phalanx did not come from Chen Kang, and the voice was a little old, but it was more upright and majestic.

After the sound fell, the students in the phalanx suddenly rushed out of a passage.

I saw an old man wearing a crimson scarlet robe coming from the passage, about the same age as Yu Shinan, and behind him were four young men wearing Confucian robes, who should also be scholars.

And the second resistance just now came from this old man.

The four Confucian scholars behind the old man were carrying a clay sculpture, and they followed the old man in the crimson purple robe to the eldest grandson Wuji.

This clay sculpture is as tall as a person, and it is the statue of Kong Shengren, the ancestor of Confucianism.

Seeing the clay sculpture of Confucius, the three thousand students fell to their knees and knelt down.

After kneeling down, all of them looked solemn, and respectfully shouted to Master Kong Sheng

"Changsun Wuji, how dare you risk the world's disgrace and shoot and kill the disciples of saints? Well, what a grandson Wuji, who is the head of the court and the head of the civil servants in the world! Today, the old man brought four disciples, and returned There are statues of ancestors sitting here, just shoot arrows, the disciples of saints are all over the world, let me see how long you will slaughter them?"

After the old man in crimson purple and scarlet robe shouted loudly, he had already approached Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji took a closer look at the person and saw his appearance clearly. It was him?

For a moment, his whole face relaxed, and he was crying in his heart, oh my god, why did he get involved?

Chapter 685 Nobody can mess with Kong Yingda

Kong Yingda, Minister of the Ministry of Officials!

This No. 30 second-generation grandson of the sage Kong, a descendant of the sage who is really rooted and young, also rushed out to join in the fun. No wonder the eldest grandson Wuji secretly had a headache and complained in his heart.

What's more, Kong Yingda actually took four of his disciples to carry the clay sculpture of the ancestor Kong Shengren to the town here, which was unexpected by Changsun Wuji.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji felt more and more that whether it was the gathering of three thousand students from poor families to sit quietly in Zhuquemen School, the sudden appearance of Yu Shinan, or even the grand appearance of Kong Yingda, these should all be a plan, a conspiracy , a long-planned conspiracy against himself and even the entire Guanlong family.

In addition, the [-] merchants in the East Market and the West Market closed their doors together for no reason, which is more like an organized and premeditated action.

correct! !

Changsun Wuji gave a sudden shock. Yes, there were also three newspapers in Changlefang in the morning, which for no reason advocated the supremacy of imperial power and the power of the king, and aimed at himself and the Guanlong family openly and secretly.

Is it...

The more Changsun Wuji thought about it, the more frightened he felt. Could this be a series of conspiracy?

Guo Ye?

These two words suddenly appeared in his mind, and he almost shouted Guo Ye's name out loud.Could it be that the instigator was the little thief Guo Ye?To get revenge on him for treating him as an abandoned son?

Fang Xuanling had reminded him before in the eldest grandson's mansion, but he laughed it off and didn't take it seriously.

But at this time, he couldn't help but not believe it. All of this should be written by the little thief Guo Ye.

At such a young age, and with a rotten family background, how can Ruosi be so powerful?

terrible……

It's so terrifying that it's almost a monster!

At this moment, Changsun Wuji's thoughts suddenly became clear, and all the incomprehensions and doubts were opened like a floodgate.

It turned out that all of this was caused by the little thief Guo Ye.

Amazing, to be able to encourage three thousand poor students in Chang'an to make trouble in Jinghua, to be able to encourage Yu Shinan, an old fox, to stand up for him.

As for Kong Yingda, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he must have been lobbied by Yu Shinan, coupled with the reason of fighting for the interests of scholars all over the world, so he got involved in this matter, right?

Awesome, Guo Ye!

Changsun Wuji secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that I, Changsun Wuji, underestimated you.

but--

Changsun Wuji swears viciously again, since you, Guo Ye, are determined to make trouble with my Changsun Wuji, hum, the more powerful you are, the more I can't let you have a bright future, otherwise, who will be able to check and balance you in the future?

Immediately, he cupped his hands at Kong Yingda in a friendly manner, and said, "Old Master Kong, why did you even startle? And he even brought out the clay sculpture of the sage Kong, isn't this a big deal? I can handle the matter here. Hehe, Old Shangshu Kong should go back to his residence and rest. Don’t worry, I was just intimidating these students just now, how could I really order to shoot them with arrows?”

In terms of his status in the court, Changsun Wuji, the Shangshu Zuo Pushe, did not have to speak to Kong Yingda so humbly and politely.

However, Kong Yingda still has another identity, that is, the 32nd generation grandson of Kong Shengren, the true direct descendant.

This is also one of the reasons why he is most jealous of Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda's status is very important, and he cannot tolerate the negligence of Changsun Wuji, the chief assistant of the dynasty.

Because since Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, named Kong Teng, the ninth grandson of Confucius, as the enshrined emperor in order to publicize the ethics, the descendants of Confucius' direct descendants began the hereditary honor of being named.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dismissed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, Confucianism skyrocketed and became the state religion of the Han Dynasty.Since then, the status of Confucius and the status of Confucius' descendants have risen even higher.After Han Yuandi succeeded to the throne, he named Kong Ba, the thirteenth grandson of Confucius, the sage king.After that, every time a new emperor came to the throne in the Han Dynasty, the titles of Confucius' descendants would be continuously sealed to show his favor to Confucianism, Confucius and their descendants.

Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty named Kong Fu, the grandson of the fourteenth generation of Confucius, the Marquis of Yin Shaojia.

Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty conferred the title of Marquis of Baoting on Kongshang, the eighteenth generation grandson.

Emperor Han'an named Kong Yao, the nineteenth grandson, the Marquis of Fengshengting.

Later, the Eastern Han Dynasty ended and entered the situation where the three kingdoms stood up and the heroes competed for the deer. Until Cao Wei established the world, the status of Confucianism and Confucius was reaffirmed, and the descendants of Confucius were named Zongshenghou.

Cao Wei was replaced by the Sima clan of the Western Jin Dynasty. The emperors of the Western Jin, Eastern Jin, and Southern Dynasties all issued imperial edicts to confer the title of Holy Tinghou on the descendants of Confucius.

In the Northern Wei Dynasty, he was called Chongshenghou, and in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he was named Gongshenghou.In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he should be named Zou Guogong again.

Yang Jian, Emperor Gaozu of the Sui Dynasty, unified the Central Plains and continued to confer the title of Duke Zou on the descendants of Confucius.

After the Li family destroyed the Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Dynasty, the royal title of the descendants of Confucius was changed back to the original Baosheng Hou in the Han Dynasty, but the title of title was raised to the title of duke.

Therefore, in addition to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Kong Yingda also holds the title of Baosheng Hou. Like Changsun Wuji, Qin Shubao and others, they all enjoy the title of Duke of the country.

In this way, the descendants of Confucius held the title of Baoshenghou until the Song Dynasty, and was re-nominated as "Yansheng Gong" by Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.
