"Although dear brother, you are the reincarnation of an immortal and should belong to Taoism, not Confucianism, but after all, you still have to respect Confucius, and please keep your word!" It took Zhang Tianhong a long time to say this sentence, and he spoke

At that time, he was a little lacking in confidence. He was also a down-to-earth person. When he was reminded by Liu Baiyu, after thinking about it carefully, he found that although what Liu Baiyu said was novel, it was also reasonable and well-founded. It was not the nonsense of someone who was crazy about gaining a position.

"I'm putting it lightly. Saint Kong is not a simple man. Don't look at him talking about Zhou Rites. In fact, he is a master who destroys Zhou Rites. Just that sentence of "education without distinction" has completely destroyed the foundation of Zhou aristocrats.

They are all hollowed out..." Liu Baiyu said smoothly.

Zhang Tianhong was shocked at first, thinking that Liu Baiyu was just talking about weird things, but he also read history books, and he was not a stubborn old master. Thinking about it carefully, everything Liu Baiyu said was true, but no one had understood it from this perspective before.

That’s all.

"I would say that the purpose of Kong Shengren is to further strengthen the class of "scholars", fundamentally shake the aristocratic rule of Zhou Dynasty, and ultimately completely transform the social structure of Zhou aristocratic society to complete his political ideal..."

"As for Zhou Li, it's just to satisfy his publicity needs..."

"My dear brother, is it true that Confucius promoted the Zhou rites in order to destroy the Zhou rites from within?"

"When scholars talk about retro, many of them do it for their own new things. They just come and make tiger skins. This has been basically the case for thousands of years. Brother, you are a person who has read history books, don't you know this earlier?"

"This...but how can a saint be the same as an ordinary person?"

"It's different. Sage Confucius had a lot of problems in his background, and he had a big heart. I also admire his superb methods. "Historical Records of the Confucius Family" records that Confucius's ancestors were descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty,

King Zhou Cheng granted him the title of brother-in-law of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. He was a loyal and famous official of the Shang Dynasty. He was born in the Song Dynasty. Strictly speaking, he was not even a Zhou person. Otherwise, he would not have said: Yu Yu Hu Wen Zai I followed the Zhou Dynasty. This is such an obvious choice.

If you just stand aside..."

After the royal family of the previous dynasty, they were dissatisfied with the system of the new dynasty, and under the banner of supporting the system of the new dynasty, they hollowed out the foundation of the new dynasty! Zhang Tianhong was reminded by Liu Baiyu, and after combining the life experience, background, words and deeds of Shengren Kong, he suddenly got an order

His horrifying conclusion, but he still told the results of his years of education:

"But my second brother, Confucius is a descendant of Wei Ziqi, a famous minister of the Shang Dynasty. Wei Ziqi supported the Zhou Dynasty."

"The problem is, I'm afraid Sage Kong won't respect this so-called ancestor very much, right? Don't forget the origin of Sage Kong's name, Qiu!"

Confucius' biological father Kong He (also known as Shu Liang He, Gong Shu He) was a high official in Lu and once served as the prime minister of Zou. According to the facts learned by Sima Qian after visiting Confucius' hometown, Confucius was his father Shu Liang He.

On Qiu She Day, he had a wild affair with a commoner girl Yan (named Zheng Zai) in a cave in Nishan Hill and conceived an illegitimate child. However, after this wild union, Shu Lianghe seemed to have never had any more sex with her.

The Yan family met each other. "He and the Yan family's daughter married and gave birth to Confucius. He prayed to Niqiu and got Confucius." ("Historical Records? Zhengyi") Therefore, when Confucius was young, he only knew his mother but not his father. He did not know who his father was until his mother died.

.

Of course, there are countless Confucian believers who have come out to explain, saying that Confucius’ parents were married, but according to the customs at that time, they were still in the trial marriage stage [In fact, ancient times were more open than now, but modern people don’t know it], that’s all, and it’s still

It is well-founded that Confucius's father, Uncle Liang He, first married Shi's wife and gave birth to 9 daughters, but had no children. Then he married a concubine and gave birth to a son, named Bernie, also known as Meng Pi. Meng Pi had a foot problem, and Uncle Liang He was very unhappy.

Satisfied, he married Yan Zheng again. When Confucius was three years old, his uncle Lianghe died, and the Confucius family became the world of the Shi family. The Shi family had evil intentions. Meng Pi's biological mother had been abused and died by the Shi family one year before the death of his uncle Lianghe.

, Confucius, mother and son were not tolerated by the Shi family, and Confucius' mother Yan Zhengzai had no choice but to move to Qufu with Confucius and Meng Pi.

It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong between these two statements. The key point is that Confucius’ family did not recognize Confucius’ aristocratic status at first. Confucius’ father only gave Confucius a stepping stone to the upper class. Even this upper class

The value of social stepping stones is also quite doubtful.

As an orphan and abandoned son, he actually never had any relationship with this family when he was a boy. Confucius was an orphan and a concubine. Not only could he not inherit his father's aristocratic status, but he also had a very early age.

So he went out to work and had various despicable jobs (such as being a child musician who played pipes and instruments at funerals).

Confucius was an ambitious man. "I am determined to learn when I am ten years old." Confucius has been eager to learn and seek knowledge since his youth. Through hard self-study and humility in asking for advice, he miraculously grew into the most knowledgeable person in the world, thus showing his great ability.

He was so famous in the world that he had to be recognized by the proud nobles as a noble.

All in all, Kong Shengren's experience is similar to that of current YY novels, except that he followed the route of reading instead of the fantasy route of crushing the vacuum with force. And he is much stronger than the protagonist of ordinary YY novels. He did not obtain aristocratic status and was revived.

He was complacent about his family business, but he went around giving lectures, teaching everyone without distinction, trying to shake up the system of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

In fact, Kong Sage relied on his ancestors' little reputational virtues as spiritual support, and pretended to know how to abide by the national system better than the rulers with vested interests. He intended to adopt a peaceful evolution method and control the country's voice to change the country.

System, this is considered the most thorough method. From the perspective of historical results, the entire history of China can also be seen as a history of the privileges of the nobles being gradually eroded by scholars. But conversely, it is also the most time-consuming method.

As a result, views on Confucius have always been polarized. Those who love him regard him as an enlightenment teacher for the common people; those who hate him regard him as an accomplice of the ruling class and a leader who brainwashes the common people.

"Sage Kong is a very cunning person. You must not take his words literally. After reading the allusion of Zigong's redemption, you realize that in essence, Sage Kong is afraid that he is much more knowledgeable than you and me...compared to

After all, Meng Ke is an honest man who is stupid because of his reading."

"Then, dear brother, what do you mean by this? You are a man of foresight and every move has deep meaning. Could it be that you want to..." Zhang Tianhong seemed to have thought of something, but he felt that what he was thinking was too bizarre and he did not dare to say it!

"That's right, I want to be a great Confucian like Confucius and revive pre-Qin Confucianism. After all, in this era of imperial examinations, it is too troublesome to take the imperial examination route. It is easier to gain fame and achieve great things by becoming a great Confucian!" Liu Baiyu said loudly!

Zhang Tianhong nodded. He automatically thought that Liu Baiyu would gain fame and achieve great things, so he took a shortcut to become the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, but he never thought about the rebels.

In Zhang Tianhong's view, if the reincarnated immortal's sworn brother wants to become a rebel, it is the easiest way to just pretend to be a ghost. Now there are refugees everywhere. As long as there is food, it is not difficult to gather hundreds of thousands of people. But the second brother is honest

He is seeking property and clearly shows that he is a good citizen and naturally does not intend to rebel.

But how does Zhang Tianhong know? It’s not that Liu Baiyu has never thought about this route, but the religious route is extremely problematic. Without his own team, his strength will expand too quickly and he will be easily ignored. Even if he succeeds, the conflict between religion and Confucianism will

It’s also extremely confusing, and the most important thing is that an important principle in modern society is the separation of church and state. Isn’t it nonsense for a time traveler who wants to develop a country to do this?

Besides, at this time, the Ming Dynasty had not yet had the Qing Dynasty enter the customs several times, and Li Zicheng was still working as his civil servant. The people of the Ming Dynasty were still there, and the best choice was to strengthen their strength and cultivate their health. Liu Baiyu still understood this
