Short video: Shocking the world

【“In the second year, he wrote a neat and clear article “A memorial to the emperor on shaving one’s head”, which highly praised the correctness of shaving one’s head and changing clothes.”】

【“Afterwards, the Kong family happily welcomed the elegant policies of the new dynasty, following the ancient teachings of Confucius that one’s hair and body are inherited from one’s parents, and the struggle of the people in the south of the Yangtze River against shaving their heads.”】

“You bastard!”

Seeing the braids appearing on the sky, Confucius was furious, thinking that his descendants had made great contributions.

The emperors and people of all dynasties have once again refreshed their understanding of the Kong family.

“Is this how the descendants of saints behave?”

“Didn’t Confucius say that one’s hair and body are inherited from one’s parents? The descendants of saints don’t listen to their ancestors, so why should we?”

【“But the funniest thing is that after Shandong became a German colony in the late Qing Dynasty, the 75th generation of Yansheng Gong Kong Lingyi beat gongs and drums to welcome the portrait of German Emperor Wilhelm II to the Kong Mansion for worship.”】

Dorgon: I didn’t expect that the Yansheng Duke would be so unscrupulous! We Manchus are called barbarians, so isn't this golden-haired man a barbarian of barbarians? The Kong family is really not picky when it comes to choosing a master!

Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han were also enlightened.

[“Zhang Taiyan was so angry that he issued a document calling on Shandong citizens to join the Boxers and not to be Duke Yansheng.”]

[“During the Anti-Japanese War, President Jiang, who knew the nature of Duke Yansheng very well, immediately rescued Duke Yansheng, who was about to fall in Shandong, to Wuhan. After all, if the Kong family moved the emperor's photo into the Kong Mansion, things would be unclear.”]

Those scholars who wanted to say something good about Duke Yansheng, a descendant of Confucius, were completely speechless.

Not to mention what Duke Yansheng did in the Ming Dynasty, he shaved his head and changed his clothes in the Qing Dynasty and served the Manchus; in the late Qing Dynasty, he moved the portrait of the foreign emperor into the Kong Mansion and worshipped it; all these things, even the water of the Huai River could not wash away!

The people of all dynasties were not polite and criticized the Duke of Yansheng.

"His descendants did not learn the benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness advocated by Confucius and Confucianism! They just know that they are descendants of saints."

"No wonder there are more and more people who betray their masters for glory. I think it is the example set by the Kong family!"

[Shixiu surrendered to the Duke of Yansheng. ]

[The iron-willed man taught people to be loyal, Shixiu surrendered to the Duke of Yansheng! ]

[Shixiu surrendered to the Duke of Yansheng, a traitor for all eternity, Confucius of Qufu! ]

[Seventy-two generations of family slaves, twenty-five dynasties of traitors. ]

Looking at the "Shixiu surrendered to the Duke of Yansheng" written one by one, some emperors couldn't help laughing.

After a long silence, Confucius sighed deeply, with mixed feelings in his heart. It was hard to expect that his descendants would do such a thing that was "despised by thousands of people".

The iron-willed man taught people to be loyal, Confucius of Qufu!

How ironic!

The phrase "seventy-two generations of family slaves, twenty-five dynasties of traitors" made many people who defected from the old dynasty to the new dynasty stand up straight.

Although they were traitors, they were not twenty-five dynasties of traitors.

…

Emperor Wu of Han's plane.

Since the abolition of all schools of thought and the promotion of Confucianism, the status of Confucianism has been rising. Even if this Confucianism is just a new Confucianism with the cloak of Confucianism, it accommodates the thoughts of Legalism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, etc. But the decline of the hundred schools of thought is a foregone conclusion.

"As the descendants of Confucius, the Kong family should uphold the teachings of Confucius and pass on the way of loyalty and forgiveness. But I never thought that this so-called Yanshenggong, who has the blood of Confucius, is a guy who pursues fame and fortune and has no backbone. Such behavior is simply a tarnishing of Confucius' reputation! Such disloyal and unrighteous people will never be allowed to appear in my court!"

Emperor Wu of Han took the opportunity to crack down on the civil and military officials, asking them not to learn from the Kong family.

…

[The Kong family is not just what is said in the video. In the first year of Baoqing of Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty, Qufu was captured by the Mongolian army. The following year, Yanshenggong Kong Yuanyong followed the Mongolian army to the west to eliminate the Han people and died in the army.

When Li Zicheng of the Ming Dynasty rebelled, he was still far away from Qufu. Yanshenggong Kong Yanzhi had people worship the dragon throne of Emperor Yongchang of the Dashun Kingdom and kneel down to pay tribute.

Who would have thought that Li Zicheng would run away in a few days, and the Manchus came. Kong Yanzhi immediately submitted the "First Commitment" to the Qing court.

Before serving the Qing court, Kong Yanzhi also knelt down to pay tribute to Li Zicheng.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Britain forcibly leased Weihaiwei, Shandong, and was eyeing Shandong. Yanshenggong Kong Lingyi immediately welcomed the portrait of King Edward VII of England into the Kong Mansion with red and colorful decorations and gongs and drums.

Later, Germany forcibly leased Qingdao, Shandong, and Yanshenggong Kong Lingyi welcomed the portrait of German Emperor Wilhelm II into the Kong Mansion.

Before this, the Kong family also served the King of England.

It is said that when Zhang Xun restored the throne, the Kong family was preparing to submit a petition for the throne, but before it was submitted, Zhang Xun was driven away. ]

[What other "surprises" does the Kong family have that we don't know about? ]

Ancient people: Isn't this ironic? There is only surprise, no joy!

[Too cool, with such a family-inherited skill, no wonder the Kong family can stand for a thousand years! ]

[Down with Confucius! ]

Ancients: Who is Confucius?

[Confucius's ideas are good, but later generations gradually changed his ideas! ]

[To put it bluntly, Confucianism is a means for the imperial power to control the world. ]

[Yes, Confucianism will become what the imperial power needs, and the Kong family is a mascot. The Kong family in the Ming Dynasty really thinks of themselves as a big shot! ]

[Maybe it's because the Ming Dynasty was controlled by literati! Selling face to the Kong family is equivalent to giving face to the literati. ]

[Huang Chao: Noble bloodline, right? It seems that I haven't killed enough! ]

Huang Chao: I didn't want to kill the descendants of Confucius!

Holy Light Descends [The Kong family is indeed a mascot. The Kong family before the Song Dynasty was relatively low-key. First, there was no hereditary status of Yanshenggong, and second, because those aristocratic families were still there, they couldn't jump up. For the aristocratic families, Confucianism can help the emperor control the world and help them seek benefits, so on the surface they are polite to the Kong family. The Kong family at that time knew it in their hearts. ]

The familiar nicknames and avatars appear again.

"It's the descendants of Gao Huan again!"

"The descendants of Gao are right!"

[The Kong family is still powerful now, and they hold sacrifices with great fanfare, for fear that others don't know that they are the descendants of Confucius. ]

[Are the descendants of Confucius so great? Now if a brick is thrown down, it will hit either the descendants of the emperor or the descendants of the aristocratic families. Who doesn't have a few prominent figures in their ancestors? ]

[They claim to have stood for two thousand years, so they are naturally proud! ]

The Holy Light Descends [The emperor is called the Holy Lord. The Holy Lord means above the saints. Isn't he more powerful than Confucius? The emperor can confer the title of a saint on Confucius, but Confucius cannot confer the title of an emperor. ]

"Your Majesty, above the saint? I like this title very much!"

"Gao Huan's descendants understand the imperial power!"

Holy Light Descends [Confucius has descendants, and the emperor and those aristocratic families also have descendants. It's just that the number of descendants varies, and their descendants have served as officials in every dynasty. Power is the foundation, and whoever holds power is powerful! ]
