Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Kong Yinzhi was accompanied by three elders - Kong Wenshi, Kong Wenxi, and Kong Wenli.

After all, if it were his grandparents.

However, Kong Yinzhi inherited the position of Duke Yansheng, and he was the king of the Kong family in the Confucian family, which had strict family education.

Although these three people have high seniority, they still have to be inferior to Kong Yinzhi.

The rules of the Kong family are very strict.

It can even be described as dark.

In the Confucian family, the eldest son (that is, Duke Yansheng) is heaven.

What he said was the rule, and no one could disobey it!

……

Since Qin unified the six kingdoms, China has not had a 400-year-old dynasty.

The political power has gone through many ups and downs, but there are only two and a half aristocratic families in this world.

This half is the royal family.

Dynasties have changed countless times, and even if the royal family is wealthy, they are still just working people.

Therefore, they can only be counted as half.

Those two who have both beards and tails——

One of them is the Zhang family of the Heavenly Master.

The character of the Zhang family goes without saying. Whenever the country is destroyed, many members of the Zhang family die for the country.

They deserve the title of Heavenly Master.

Although……

When the new dynasty is established, the Zhang family will also accept the canonization of the new dynasty.

However, the desire to serve the country is there.

For example, this time in the late Ming Dynasty, three thousand Taoist masters in Fuqiu Mountain fought against the Qing Dynasty with swords and bravely charged into the enemy formation. There were many children of the Zhang family among them.

Of course, the fundamental reason why the Zhang family can survive forever is that the Zhang family only influences the emperor and does not interfere in politics.

The weakness in officialdom is Zhang's long-lasting magic weapon.

After all, Taoist culture is deeply rooted in the hearts of every Chinese people.

Once the new dynasty wipes out the Heavenly Master Zhang family, it will be resented by all the people in the world.

Since not many people from the Zhang family join officialdom.

There is no need to hold on to the new dynasty, right...

The Taoist principle of "doing nothing is doing something" is truly understood by the Zhang family.

The second is the Yansheng Confucius family.

Is this the Kong family...

Very good at laying eggs.

To say that during the Northern Song Dynasty, there were people from the Kong family who followed them south, I can give them a thumbs up.

Even if they make a three-way bet.

That's more or less an attitude, isn't it?

And this late Ming Dynasty...

The Kong family is really stretched!

This time, the Qing army had just entered the pass, and there were still rebellions everywhere around the capital.

The Kong family took the lead in setting an example - I voted first, you can vote or not as you wish...

Even, he didn’t even do any face-saving work - arranging people to go to the south!

Only by being the first to kowtow can one ensure the longevity of the Kong family...

Of course, the Kong family is also afraid of missing something.

So what if the Ming Dynasty in the south comes back again?

Therefore, the Kong family made two arrangements.

This time, Kong Yinzhi came to the capital, first of all to apologize to Dorgon.

So that Dad Qing would not blame himself for not wanting to shave his head last year.

The second one was Kong Wenshi and Kong Wenjing who were following behind him!

Yes, these two people have their own tasks...

Kong Wenli, on the other hand, is used to mix mud.

The Kong family has existed for more than two thousand years, so they really don’t have any clever tricks!

As for politics, I have already become proficient in it!

In fact, Emperor Zhu really had nothing to say to Kong.

Not only did he build a huge palace for the Kong family, but he also handed over the appointment of the magistrate of Qufu County to the Kong family.

The Kong family was even allowed to participate in the imperial examination and serve as officials in the imperial court.

(The Kong family controlled Qufu County magistrate for a total of 890 years.)

For example, two brothers, Kong Wenshi and Kong Wenxi, were both Jinshi in the same subject.

These two brothers were both high officials in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Kong Wenzheng successively served as the head of the Pedestrians Department of the Ministry of Rites, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, and the deputy envoy of Hexi Road.

This last position is an important one for one province and for presiding over military and political affairs of several governments.

And Kong Wenshi is even more incredible!

He successively served as the secretary of the Zhongshu Department of Zhongshu Ke, Shizhong of the Li Keke, Shizhong of the Li Keke, deputy envoy of Jingxing Bingbei, deputy envoy of Jinglong Bingbei, and counselor of the grain road governor in Daliang, Henan...

Kong Wenshi's brother Kong Wenli was just a little bit worse, he was only a doctor of the Five Classics.

Doctor of the Five Classics of Hanlin Academy, a noble position.

Never mind that the official is not big.

……

How many members of the Kong family served as officials in the court?

That's an astronomical figure!

I can only use one word to describe it - so many special codes!

How many?

As for the two brothers Kong Wenshi and Kong Wenli, there were actually two pairs in the officialdom after Hongzhi!

That's right, they have the same name and they are all brothers - there are two pairs of four people!

Another pair of Kong Wenshi and Kong Wenli were officials during the Hongzhi and Zhengde years.

They are blood brothers, have the same name, and are of the same generation. There are actually two pairs of officials!

Just from this point of view, we know how many descendants of the Kong family were in the official circles of the Ming Dynasty!

As expected of the Kong family.

In order to take care of his poor family, the emperor of the Zhu family specially issued an order to allow the children of the Zhu family to participate in the imperial examination.

Who knew that the children of the Zhu family would be able to leave their names in history in all walks of life...

It stands to reason - you are not stupid!

Look, there are those who play music, those who build pianos, those who write scripts, those who practice medicine, those who paint, those who write novels, those who write, those who practice Buddhism, those who play guqin...

You can stand at the top of the entire history!

You have to know that among the "Top Ten Cultural and Art Celebrities in China" announced by the United Nations, Zhu Da from the old Zhu family is among them.

And, a constellation was named after him!

Bada Shanren?

There should be no one who doesn’t know him, right?

The one who rolled his eyes at Huahua...

Well, this is the upper-class Zhu family, so it doesn’t count.

As for the people who have settled down, they can also play gongs and drums, and go around to attend funerals for others...

Are there any industries in which the descendants of the Zhu family are not good at playing?

If you look at it this way...

The emperor and his boss have allowed the Zhu family to participate in the imperial examination. This special officialdom...

It hasn’t been taken over by the Zhu family yet!

We won’t tell anyone, we’ll just explain the end.

That Lu Niang, the one who plays the guqin...

Even if he doesn't get the top prize, it's not that difficult to get someone with the same background as the Jinshi, right?

This guy's literary talent is not low!

We won’t use Bada Shanren to bully them.

Zhu Da is now in his prime!

If this person comes on the stage and draws with one hand and answers with the other, he can beat them.

but……

sorry……

No one from the Zhu family is an official!

Isn’t that strange?

After all, there are so many officials in the Kong family - how many of them can leave a mark in history?

Ok……

If kowtow counts, he is indeed very famous!

The Zhu family has left so many people who have left their names in history, so there should be no shortage of officials, right?

Since they can play to the top, they shouldn't fail the exam!

But, it's so strange.

The children of the Zhu family... just can't pass the exam!

Even if they can leave their names in history in all walks of life and stand at the top of the entire history...

Even the United Nations recognizes their talents...

Or he just couldn't pass the imperial examination.

In a hundred years, there were only two talented people!

And the Kong family is worthy of being a saint, and their literary talent is so outstanding!

There are so many officials who are of the same generation, and they are all two brothers. How can there be two pairs...
