Liu Bu felt that this matter was a big deal. Unless he used violent means, or used conspiracy or scheming, he would never think of a suitable solution. However, when he heard his father's tone, he had a way to solve this matter peacefully, which surprised him very much.

Liu Bu said, "I want to ask my father, what tricks can I turn the disadvantages around?"

Liu Yuanqiao said: "There is an old saying that if one is not a clan, his heart will be different. These Chinese officials in the court have always been taboo to our Liu family. This is because our Liu family is a businessman. Even as a father, he is also a prisoner of the Imperial College. If he is an authentic Jinshi, our Liu family has such a great power, they will not be suspicious."

Liu Bu said, "This is something that can't be done. This is the origin of our Liu family. No one can change it. The child should make a point. Are there any kings, princes, generals and ministers? Even the most noble royal family today, were they not beggars or monks more than 200 years ago?"

Although Liu Bu said this, he understood that in today's world, the views on birth, family, and bloodline are still very important. Especially in the officialdom, everything is concerned with seniority and origin. Why are they unanimously rejected by civil servants? Because their family is not a civil servant, they are considered to be an alien. People like them are naturally excluded and suppressed by the entire civil servant group. This is called being non-my race, and their hearts must be different.

Of course, even if they were civil servants, they would eventually fall into party struggles, and the struggles among ministers to fight for power and profit are common.

This is also an unsolvable question for the Liu family. He doesn't know what to do, so he can't get the Jinshi exam again, right? Even if he can pass the exam, it's too late, right?

Liu Yuanqiao said, "For my father, I have come up with a good idea, that is, marrying the Confucius Mansion can solve this problem."

Marriage!

Liu Bu felt a little strange when he heard this. What kind of marriage method? Liu Bu was a little unresponsive enough. After realizing it, he thought about it for a while and remembered the reason. Now, his father seemed to be the only one in the entire family who matched the marriage, which shocked him so much that his mouth was so big.

Unexpectedly, the Eight-faced Buddha Liu Yuanqiao, for the sake of his family's fame and wealth, actually ended up in person and threw himself out.

Liu Bu said in surprise: "Marriage! Father! You."

Judging from the current situation of the Liu family, the person who implemented the marriage policy must be his father, because his father is nominally single. Although he has a concubine of three villains, his wife is waiting for him in a vacant position, while Liu Bu has a wife. Not to mention that he was married by a mediator, the Zheng family's strong strength does not allow him to have any ideas. Moreover, Liu Bu has such a wife and a virtuous supporter, and he is very satisfied with his own thoughts and has no other ideas. Therefore, it seems that his father is the only one who can implement the marriage policy in this way.

Liu Yuanqiao's face remained unchanged and said without any shyness: "It is for my father, and for my father, I have decided to marry Miss Kong's Holy Lord on the 15th of this month."

So that's it. Liu Bu was wondering why his father summoned him back. It was a bit strange, but no one said that, he dared not say these people. Could he say this to him? Congratulations on having an extra mother?

Liu Bu was a little surprised and said, "Father, which daughter will you marry?"

Liu Yuanqiao said: "A father has reached an agreement with Yan Shenggong, that is, he will marry the eldest daughter of the Kong family with the courtesy of a wife."

It turned out that it was a marriage with the Kong family. In the past, there were four major families in Shandong, namely Confucius, Mencius, Yan and Zeng. At present, the most popular ones are the De Palace, the Lu Palace, the Confucius Palace and the Liu family.

In fact, the two royal palaces are at the forefront because they are among the royal family and have respected status as vassal kings. However, in terms of their status in history, no one can compare to the Kong family. They are truly a thousand-year-old family and an unparalleled clan. Such families are very rare even in the world. Liu Yuanqiao wants to marry someone, except for the royal family, this is the best choice.

This is a hereditary aristocrat who transcends the change of dynasties and the changes of the country.

As early as after the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, when Emperor Shin-Emperor visited the counties and counties in the east, he specially named Confucius' ninth generation grandson Kong Feng as the Wentongjun of Lu. Wentongjun was just a reputation title, not a special title for worshipping Confucius. However, Emperor Shin-Emperor set a precedent for commending Confucius' descendants.

During the reign of Emperor Yuan of Han, Emperor Yuan of Han also appointed Confucius' thirteenth generation grandson Kong Ba as the Grand Tutor, and was awarded the title of Guannei Marquis, with a fief of 800 households and a title of Baochengjun. He was worshipped by Confucius for his fief, which was also the beginning of the hereditary title of Confucius descendants.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the tradition of soldiers separating and chaotic politics since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty court began to vigorously promote the policy of respecting culture and suppressing military affairs. Against this background, Song Renzong officially conferred Confucius' forty-sixth generation grandson Kongzong willing to be Yanshenggong. Since then, Yanshenggong's hereditary title and title have been held for the Northern Song Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, Southern Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty, and has been passed down for more than 400 years.

During the Song Dynasty, Yanshenggong was equivalent to the eighth-rank official and promoted to the third-rank official in the Yuan Dynasty. He was a first-rank civil servant in the early Ming Dynasty, and later he was the first civil servant. The Yanshenggong Mansion, where Yanshenggong lived in all dynasties, was the largest mansion in the country after the Ming and Qing palaces. As a noble family that was awarded the title in the world, the distinction and respect of Confucius' direct family has never been different since ancient times.

The Kong family's status is unparalleled in Shandong. It can be said that in Qufu, Shandong, many people say this: Every hole is a village, every hole is a seat, the power of the Kong family has penetrated into all aspects and extends to the entire Shandong. Although the four major families in Shandong are not as good as those of him, compared with him, because the wealth of a thousand years is not comparable to your short-term glory, and the heritage of a thousand years of large family is not comparable to that of you.

The so-called four masters are actually a bit boasting. Generally speaking, the four masters in Shandong are generally two royal families, followed by the Kong family and the Meng family. However, the Liu family has developed extremely fast recently, and has penetrated very quickly in both economic and military aspects. In addition, Liu Yuanqiao was consciously promoting, so he squeezed into the four masters.

Now, after Liu Yuanqiao lived alone for more than ten years, he finally chose to marry Miss Kong. In the eyes of many people, this is a strong alliance, which is reasonable, because the Liu family is rich now, and noble is also expensive, but compared with the heritage of these old families, it is a few streets away. It can only be regarded as a nouveau riche, lacking the nobleness and heritage from the heart.

But Liu Bu was a little surprised when they chose to marry the Kong family. You should know that his father was born in the 15th year of Wanli in the year of Dinghai and is now almost fifty years old.

The 65th generation of the sage Yan Gong Kong Yinzhi was born in the Gengchen year of the 18th year of Wanli. His name was Tonghuan and his nickname was Maojia. He inherited the title of Yan Shenggong in the first year of Tianqi in Emperor Xizong. He was appointed as the prince Taibao in the seventh year of Tianqi. He was the prince Taifu in the third year of Chongzhen. It seemed that his father was three years older than this Yan Shenggong. The eldest daughter of Yan Shenggong, Miss Kong, was born in the forty-sixth year of Wanli. Now he is only in his early 20s. He is a few years younger than himself. His father actually married him as his wife and became his stepmother. Liu Bu felt embarrassed to death.

But here he had to admire his father's cultivation. He took the initiative to say such a thing, but he looked calm and without any uneasiness or changes, just like saying something that had nothing to do with him.

For the Kong family, people nowadays have spiritual beliefs, and their status is not under the royal family. Even if it is the spiritual totem of the whole nation, as the saying goes, the Saint Kong will not be born, and the night will last forever, but Liu Bu’s impression of him is not good. This is due to the suppression and negative evaluation of the Kong family that has been in later generations. What are the 25 dynasties and 75 generations of slaves? However, the Kong family in this era is a top wealthy giant, and it is not comparable to the rising star of the Liu family. Liu Bu is curious why the Kong family would marry his eldest lady to an old man who was older than his father?

Liu Yuanqiao is almost 50 years old. He is already an old man of this era. Although he is strong and looks like he is about thirty or forty years, he is already an old man.

Regarding this young lady of the Kong family, he is considered a person in Shandong, why do you say that? This is because the Kong family has rarely interacted with officials. Their young lady also married a poetic family in Texas shortly after her birth. The two big families have been married for generations, and they are also Vast-honored relatives.

But the young lady was a little unlucky, so she made a marriage contract and a marriage date. When she was about to marry, the groom died of an acute illness, and she became a vague person.

Although they have never been married and become a family, they can remarry and marry each other, with the reputation and noble status of the Kong family, if they remarry, it will affect the reputation of the Kong family. You must know that they are the benchmarks of morality in the world. The authenticity of people's beliefs cannot do anything that violates contemporary ethical standards.

So forced to make a choice, this young lady of the Kong family, who was born with a golden key in her arms, became the eldest daughter who was waiting to be married. If she was not surprised, she should have been so lonely for life, because the status and ethics of the Kong family did not allow her to remarry. If she remarries, the face of the Kong family would not look good, and she became a victim.

Liu Bu was wondering why his father could marry this eldest lady from the Kong family? How did he convince the Kong family of Sheng Yangong so that Sheng Yangong would not be afraid of accusations and ridicule from all over the world, so he married his daughter to him, and to Liu Yuanqiao, who was three years older than Sheng Yangong?
