Chapter 254: Spokesperson Of Confucian Collective Will, Duke Yan Sheng Went To Beijing To Crack Down
In addition to the first three things, the court also announced a fourth thing.
That is the contemporary Saint Shennong, who questions the Confucian "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" and wants to debate the authenticity of the "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" in public with all the Confucians in the world on Hongwu Street in Yingtian Mansion!!!
If the first three things announced are all related to the people of the world, then the fourth thing announced later, although it is also announced to the world, for the time being, the people of the world will just hear it on the spot and forget it.
But this incident is an unprecedented earthquake for Confucian students and literary students all over the world!!!
The Confucian "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" has been practiced for more than a thousand years!
But now a contemporary Saint Shennong appeared out of nowhere and suddenly expressed doubts that "The Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" is false [Rebirth is not under. Ten Confucian sects debated the authenticity in public.
Immediately, whether it was the contemporary head of the Confucian family who had received the edict from Zhu Yuanzhang, or other Confucian scholars who were famous all over the world, they all came to Yingtian Mansion one after another.
Inside the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy's Dr. Kong Kebiao, the contemporary Yanshenggong Kong Xixue, Liu Sanwu, Zhu Shan, Su Boheng, the Imperial Academy Doctor Gui Yanliang, and the Imperial Academy Doctor Wu Chen all gathered together.
Among them, such as the Imperial Academy's Jiujiu Confucius and the contemporary Yanshenggong Kong Xixue, needless to say, they are all descendants of Confucius in the past.
Liu Sanwu's father, Ping Ye, was a Hanlin scholar in the Yuan Dynasty. After the Ming army conquered Guangxi, he retired to his hometown and devoted himself to writing and lecturing.
It has a great reputation among hundreds of thousands to nearly one million Confucian students and scholars. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Mt. Tai Beidou of Confucianism.
Zhu Shan, in the early years of Hongwu's reign, served as a professor in Nanchang. In the eighth year of Hongwu's reign, he became the number one scholar in the imperial court and was awarded the title of editor of the Hanlin Academy. A year later, he was dismissed from his post and returned to his hometown due to the failure of Qin Dynasty's order.
Although he was dismissed and returned to his hometown, his reputation has reached a higher level. He also has great influence among hundreds of thousands or nearly one million Confucian students and scholars. He can be called the mainstay of Confucianism. It’s not an exaggeration!!!
Su Boheng, the ninth grandson of Su Che and the third son of Su Youlong, also had a good reputation in terms of background.
When Song Lian became an official two years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang asked who could replace him. Song Lian recommended Su Boheng, saying that his "literary style is powerful and methodical, and it is almost not empty beauty."
It also has great appeal and influence among folk Confucian students and literary students!!!
Gui Yanliang, a doctor of Guozijian, was a provincial scholar in the late Yuan Dynasty. He once served as a professor of road studies in Pingjiang. He could not do anything about the world, so he returned eastward, indulged in the mountains and rivers, and wrote poems and ancient prose.
Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen competed to hire him, but both failed.
In the sixth year of Hongwu's reign, he was called to Beijing, taught the crown prince his official character, and gave lectures to many young officials below the crown prince at the Wenhua Hall. Based on the sacred learning of Confucius and Mencius, he gathered the essence of political governance in the past dynasties, combined it with the actual national conditions of the dynasty, and solved the urgent tasks.
Two years later, seventy-eight of the students were promoted to participate in provincial affairs, eight were promoted to be inspectors, nineteen were appointed prefects, and the rest were appointed censors!
When it comes to the ability to teach students to become talents, it is simply top-notch!!!
This is one of the reasons why he became a doctor of the Imperial College.
Whether among the hundreds of thousands or nearly one million Confucian students, literary students, or among civil servants and officials, Gui Yanliang also has extremely high appeal and influence.
Dr. Wu Chen of the Imperial College, the son of Dr. Shidao of the Imperial College of the Yuan Dynasty, was famous for his knowledge and conduct.
Later generations changed the name of Confucius to "the most holy teacher", which actually started from Wu Chen!
He once compiled various theories into a book according to three categories: respect for heaven, loyalty to the emperor, and filial piety. After the book was completed, it was even named "Jingcheng Lu" by Zhu Yuanzhang!!
It also has great appeal and influence among Confucian officials and hundreds of thousands to nearly one million Confucian students!!!
And now that all of them (bhdj) have gathered together, it is not an exaggeration to say that they represent the overall will of hundreds of thousands or nearly one million Confucian students and literary students!!!
At this moment, Kong Xixue, who is the contemporary Confucian Yanshenggong, is sitting in the first place in the middle, Kong Kebiao, the imperial wine minister, is sitting in the first place on the left hand below Kong Xixue, and Liu Sanwu is sitting in the first place on the right hand.
Zhu Shan and Su Boheng are sitting in the second place on the left and right, while Gui Yanliang and Wu Chen, doctors of the Imperial Academy, are sitting in the third place on the left and right.
After they sat down tacitly according to their respective status and influence, Kong Xixue, who was sitting at the top, cast his eyes on his brother Kong Kebiao. Kutou frowned slightly and said:
"Mr. Jing Lian, don't you want to come?!!"
In order to deal with the new contemporary Saint Shennong's doubts about the "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man", they had previously specially invited Song Lian, who was regarded as the leader of today's civil servants by School Disciple.
However, Song Lian was not seen present at this moment.
"Mr. Jing Hui replied to the young man that he was old and exhausted, so he would not come to participate in this matter. We can make decisions on our own as soon as the matter is dealt with.
Kong Kebiao raised his hand, bowed slightly and replied.
"That's all, if you don't have it, then you won't have it. It's enough for me to wait for you!!!"
Although Kong Xixue felt a little pity that Song Lian, the current leader of civil servants, did not come to participate, but with people like them, there is really no shortage of someone like Song Lian.
After shaking his head slightly, Kong Xixue looked at Kong Ke again and said:
"I am not in the temple, and I don't know much about the affairs of the court today."
"So, please tell me, brother, what is going on with the so-called contemporary Saint Shennong clan?!!"
"How come a contemporary Saint Shennong suddenly appears out of nowhere?!!"
“Can anyone be a Saint?!!”
When he said the last sentence, Kong Xixue's voice unconsciously rose by two points and became a little angry.
Kong Kebiao underneath could also understand Kong Xixue's anger.
After all, the glory of Saint has been the exclusive and unparalleled treatment enjoyed by the Kong family for thousands of years!!!
As a result, it suddenly appeared that a bastard who didn’t know where he came from was named the contemporary Saint Shennong!!!
Where does this put the dignity of descendants of Saint?!!
In the future, if they, the descendants of Saint Confucius, meet the so-called contemporary Saint Shennong, won’t they have to bow to him?!
If the Saint Shennong family continues to leave descendants, wouldn't there be another family of Saint descendants in the future?!!
In this way, part of the future honor of their Kong Sheng family will inevitably be shared!!!
How can they endure this!!!
Descendants of Saint, the Kong family is enough!
It is enough for the Kong family to enjoy the glory of Saint!!
As long as someone dares to shake the status of their descendants of the Confucian Saint and the unique and lofty status of their Confucian Saint.
Even if there is only the slightest sign, then no matter who it is, they will be bombarded by them like a storm until they are completely destroyed!!!
Like this time, when Kong Xixue was ordered to go to Beijing, he actually wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to expose the fake tricks of the so-called contemporary Saint Shennong and knock him down from his position as Saint!
"I don't know much about the Shennong family."
"He never revealed his name, but called himself Anonymous. Later, he was credited with discovering and planting the country's auspicious potatoes with a yield of thirty-six stones per hour.'
"Therefore, His Majesty allowed him to inherit the name of Shennong and be named the contemporary Saint."
Kong Kebiao told all the pitiful news he knew.
As soon as Kong Kebiao said these words, people such as Kong Xixue, Liu Sanwu, Zhu Shan, and Su Boheng, who were not in the temple now, were immediately stunned.
Liu Sanwu couldn't help but ask:
"Thirty-six stones per mu?!!"
“Isn’t the yield per mu twenty dan?!!”
"Also, is this true?!!"
They had also read Zhu Yuanzhang's previous announcement about making the world clear, but they all regarded it as nonsense that Zhu Yuanzhang had used to fool the people of the world.
Twenty stones per mu?!!
Haha, this is simply treating people like fools!!!
If it is said that the yield per mu is three or five stones, then they will still believe it, but if the yield per mu is twenty stones, if this is true, they can hit the wall head-on!!!
Like this time, they took the initiative to go to Beijing, in addition to responding to the so-called contemporary Saint Shennong citizen's doubts about the "Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man".
At the same time, he also had the idea of telling the court to expose this lie that deceived the people of the world.
Of course, it is just a matter of "incidental" to add some foundation and luster to one's reputation.
Kong Kebiao nodded with a heavy face and affirmed:
"it is true!!!"
"It is true that the yield of thirty-six stones per mu was mined by myself, Dechen, Junzhong, and other civil and military officials at that time.
"The reason why the notice stated that the yield per mu is twenty dan is probably because we are worried that the yield of thirty-six dan per mu will not be achieved during private cultivation."
"After all, the potatoes grown in the Agricultural College are carefully taken care of, so they only have thirty-six stones. Folks may not be able to be so meticulous.
After Kong Kebiao finished speaking, Gui Yanliang and Wu Chen, doctors of the Imperial College, also nodded, indicating that what Kong Kebiao said was true.
Kong Kebiao was a minister of the Imperial College, and his official position was the fourth rank, while their doctor from the Imperial College was also an official of the fifth rank.
Therefore, they were previously qualified to follow Zhu Yuanzhang to the Agricultural College to worship the Shennong family and dig out Wang Yuan with their own hands.
After listening to what Kong Kebiao said, Kong Xixue, Liu Sanwu, Zhu Shan, and Su Boheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The auspicious potatoes with a yield of twenty shi per mu, no, the auspicious potatoes with a yield of 36 shi per mu, are actually real!!!
If the auspicious potato yielding thirty-six stones per acre is true, then the identity of the other party, the contemporary Saint Shennong, may really be secure.
At least unless they can prove that the auspicious potatoes that yield thirty-six shi per acre are fake, let alone them. Even Zhu Yuanzhang can't do anything to them!!!
As for the auspicious potatoes that yielded thirty-six shi per acre, they basically gave up hope.
After all, although they pride themselves on being extremely intelligent, they are not so arrogant as to think that all civil and military officials in the dynasty are fools.
So far, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have not questioned the auspicious potatoes with a yield of 36 shi per mu, which proves that at least all the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty are sure that the auspicious potatoes with a yield of 36 shi per mu are genuine.
Kong Xixue, who originally planned to go to Beijing to crack down on counterfeiting, felt inexplicably at this moment that he might have been wrong.
