Chapter 405 All scholars can be Duke Yansheng
Lu Si himself resisted the unscientific existence of Yan Shenggong.
Confucius made important contributions to Chinese civilization, and Confucianism also occupies an important position in Chinese civilization. This is an undeniable historical fact.
But whether to respect Confucius should be regarded as a sect for the so-called sages and children of sages, and a place for scholars all over the world to worship. Lu Si was extremely doubtful.
Because in fact, this Yansheng Gong, who was the so-called descendants of Confucius, played an extremely bad role in Chinese culture. He reduced the Jin, Yuan, and Qing dynasties directly led to Confucianism becoming a flag-shaking and shouting person who lived in China by foreign races and an accomplice of the stolen legal robbery.
To put it bluntly, one Yan Sheng Gong can defeat millions of puppet troops.
Yan Shenggong was even more disaster for the people of Qufu. The descendants of the saint became the culprit of the people of his hometown, and regarded the elders of his hometown as private slaves of the Kong family. This is probably not the original intention of the saint.
According to Lu Si's idea, in order to avoid the Yanshenggong's revision of the world, he interrupted the backbone of Chinese scholars again and again, and bullied the people with the privileges given by the state. From now on, the best thing is that there is no saint in the world.
In other words, respecting Confucius can continue, but Confucius' unvirtuous descendants must not be allowed to become representatives of the legal system of national civilization.
The so-called names and instruments cannot be granted to private individuals.
The worship of Confucius is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites of the State, and it does not require the descendants of the Confucius family to be organized.
It is possible to act like this.
The problem is that Lu Si doesn't want Yan Shenggong, others will.
At present, Nandu has not had enough time to care about Yan Shenggong. When they know that Kong Yinzhi is dead, they will definitely choose Yan Shenggong again. The Qing court may also show off the sign of Yan Shenggong to attract Chinese scholars.
Due to the thousand-year inertia, scholars, as the children of sages, also recognize the sign of Yan Shenggong. If your Huai Army does not recognize Yan Shenggong, it will push all scholars to the opposite side.
Just like the early practice of the Heavenly King Lu Si's previous life, the great smashing of the Confucius Temple caused scholars to continue to work for the Qing court. In the end, the Han people's struggle against foreign power was destroyed by Han people's scholars.
The ignorant people in Lu called the Four Heavenly Kings of Lu, which does not mean that he is the Heavenly King.
So, Lu Si has to find someone who understands it.
Wen Yanjie, who has been the leader of Qufu and is also a descendant of Wen Tianxiang, is undoubtedly a sensible person.
Daming Lake, which is formed by springs, is not alarmed, and a group of workers are building the "Shuangzhong Temple".
The "Shuangzhong Temple" was proposed by Chen Buping, Shandong Tonghui, to commemorate the Shandong Governor Song Xuezhu and the Licheng Governor Han Chengxuan who died in Jinan a few years ago.
While building a temple, the workers dug a spring from the ground.
The spring water is clear, clear, sweet and beautiful, and it keeps flowing. When Lu Si heard about it, he named the temple "Shuangzhongquan". He also wrote the name of the spring and the temple name himself, which is also the only calligraphy treasure left by Lu Si so far.
"Although Kong Yinzhi was evil, Yan Shenggong had to be rejected. If Yan Shenggong was abolished, scholars in the world would regard the governor as the enemy of Confucianism."
Wen Yanjie believed that the hereditary of Yansheng Gong should not be abolished because of Kong Yinzhi's surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
"In the past, the Confucian scholar Hu Anguo of the Song Dynasty wrote "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Period" about respecting the king and expelling the barbarians. Zhu Zi wrote several memorials to advocate expelling the barbarians and revenge. Fang Xiaoru wrote "The Later Orthodox Orthodox" about China and the barbarians, and rejecting the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. Wang Zhu's "Shizhi of the Song Dynasty", Qiu Rui's "The Principle of the World History", and Ke Weiqi's "New Edition of the Song History" are all historical books that distinguish between Yan Huayi and the Yi, and denying the Yuan Dynasty."
Wen Yanjie may have thought that the governor of the Huaiyang peasant family in front of him was also disgusted with Confucianism because of Kong Yinzhi's surrender to the Qing Dynasty. He believed that most scholars were corrupt and hurriedly emphasized that Confucian sages from all generations were all respected by the king and expelled the barbarians and constrained the Chinese and barbarians.
"I don't have any opinions on Confucianism,"
Lu Si raised his hand to interrupt Wen Yanjie, pondered for a moment, and said, "What I mean is whether to respect Confucianism must respect Confucius?"
The status of Confucianism in Chinese culture is crucial, and Lu Si is well aware of this. Without Confucianism, China would likely become a Buddha country, just like Thailand in his previous life.
The "Three Martials Destroy Buddha" in Chinese history can prove how serious the invasion of Buddhism on Chinese culture is.
Therefore, Confucianism and Taoism have made great contributions to maintaining the subjectivity of Chinese culture.
A country must never be without faith.
Confucianism is the belief in China, at least in the past, now, and for a long time in the future.
"If you respect Confucianism and Confucius, you must respect Confucius! What the governor is just afraid that this Yan Shenggong will become a traitor, then"
Wen Yanjie proposed to choose the outstanding ones from the children of the Kong family who were unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and Lu Si personally evaluated them and established them as the new generation of Yansheng Gong. He also sent someone to rebuild the Confucius Mansion to show the Huai Army's importance to Confucianism.
Lu Si disagreed. Zhu Yuanzhang also chose the new Yansheng Gong back then, but Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that the Yansheng Gong Association would be shameless and surrender before the Tartars came.
Which one can ensure the affairs of future generations?
Since the matter fell into Lu Si's hands, he wanted to solve it at once and not leave hidden dangers for future generations.
Wen Yanjie also realized Lu Si's concerns, but how could he dare to make sure that the descendants of Xinyan Shenggong selected were not corrupted?
After thinking about it carefully, he said that he could be used as a method of inheriting the magistrate of Qufu to become a vocational position. He also changed the Yanshenggong to a vocational position. The descendants of the Kong family took a test for many years, so that Yanshenggong would not be inherited by the bloodline of Kong.
This is also a good idea.
As long as the Yansheng Gong’s surname is Kong and the Kong family is competed to serve, it may also be able to revitalize the vitality of the descendants of Confucius.
But Lu Si obviously had another idea. He looked at Daming Lake with his hands behind his back and said, "Since this Yan Sheng Gong is used to worship Confucius, then the descendants of Confucius can be worship officials. Why can't the descendants of Confucius' sages be worship officials? Why can't the descendants of Confucius' sages be worship officials during the ages not worshipping Confucius?"
"What does the governor mean?"
Wen Yanjie's words to Lu Si were secretly surprised.
"I think, this Yanshenggong doesn't have to be chosen by the Confucius family alone. Any Chinese Confucian ancestors can be the sacrificial officials, and even scholars can be the sacrificial officials!"
Lu Sida raised his hand, turned around and raised his hand and pointed at Wen Yanjie, "You are a descendant of Wen Tianxiang and a child of a sage. I would rather die than follow Kong Yinzhi to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. I think you will be the first to be the Yansheng Gong and then choose it five years later."
"ah?"
Wen Yanjie's bold idea of calling Lu Si was shocked. He came back to his senses for a long time, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm afraid that people in the world will not recognize him."
"People in the world?"
Lu Si laughed, "Where did Yan Shenggong come before this first Yan Shenggong? Who in the world knows Yan Shenggong? It was just an imperial edict!"
"this"
Wen Yanjie's words are stagnant.
"If I were Emperor Tang and Song Zu, I would issue an edict to the world, Lao Wen, do you think the people in the world recognize you, Yan Sheng Gong?"
Lu Si smiled "haha" and said, "You old man said, "Do you dare to be it? If you dare to be it, my surname is Lu, I will fight for the emperor."
