Qufu is now called Xianyuan County, and the county magistrate has always been concurrently held by Duke Yansheng. After the Lu State was destroyed by the Chu State, the Chu State established Lu County. In the Western Han Dynasty, this was the fiefdom of the clan king Lu, also known as the Lu State. During the Han Dynasty, Lu
In order to build Lingguang Hall, Prince Gong Liu Yu demolished the old residence of Confucius and unearthed a large number of Spring and Autumn documents that had been lost at that time from the walls.
Liu Yu built a new city wall along the north and east walls of the Lu Palace. The area of the city was reduced, with two gates on each side: the Ji Gate and Yu Gate of the Zhou Dynasty were retained in the south; the Li Gate was retained in the west, and the Mai Gate was opened in the south.
; The north wall is Longmen and Guimen; the east wall is Qimen and Zhangmen.
Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty successively granted Liu Xing and the deposed prince Liu Qiang the title of King of Lu, and the city of Lu in the Western Han Dynasty was used. During the Three Kingdoms and the Western Jin Dynasty, Lu County was reestablished as Lu County, and the city walls were reduced again. In the Sui Dynasty, the name was changed to Qufu County, with "east of the city"
It was named after Youfu, which is seven or eight miles long, and belongs to Yanzhou. It was renamed Xianyuan County during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty.
The mansion where the eldest son of Confucius lived for generations was called Yanshenggong Mansion. After the death of Confucius and before the Song Dynasty, the eldest son and eldest grandson lived in Queli's former residence in the temple, taking care of Confucius' relics and worshiping Confucius.
While Confucius promoted Confucian culture, he also granted his descendants additional titles and titles, and granted land to build mansions. During the Baoyuan period, Kong Zongyuan, the 46th generation grandson of Confucius, was named "Yanshenggong", and he also served as the magistrate of Qufu County, and built a new mansion.
, was renamed Yan Sheng Gong Mansion.
The purpose of Yunzheng's trip was naturally to express the wishes of the Holy Duke Kong Zong.
Confucius, Yan Hui, Zuo Qiuming, and Lu Ban were all born in Qufu. Except for Confucius' family, the other three families have disappeared in the long river of history. Only the Confucius family started from Kong Zhongni until the Song Dynasty.
In the first year of Zhihe, it is still prosperous. In fact, Yun Zheng also knows something that people in the Song Dynasty don't know, that is, the Kong family is still "the first family in China" a thousand years later!
China has always been a society that respects the elderly. Except for women, most things become more valuable as they get older. How can the Kong family be an exception? A family has lasted for thousands of years. If it didn't have any uniqueness, it would have been submerged by the torrent of history.
.
The biggest reason why the emperor gave the Confucian family a title was because he took a fancy to the Confucian family's huge influence in Shandong. This influence not only spread within the Song Dynasty, but was also effective in the sixteen states of Yanyun occupied by the Liao Kingdom.
Since Shi Jingtang, the only person recognized by the people of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun and the Song Dynasty is Confucius. This is something Yunzheng discovered keenly through the intelligence collected from the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun during this period. However,
The emperor seemed to have discovered this. When the titles were conferred in the spring this year, the first title to be conferred was Duke Yansheng. During the Tianbao period, the title was only Duke Wenxuan. With just one holy word, the Kong family was elevated to the top.
to the altar.
However, the purpose of Yunzheng and the emperor were different. The emperor wanted to win over the hearts of the scholars in the world, but Yunzheng's purpose was to win over the hearts of the people in the sixteen states of Yanyun through the Confucius family.
For a long time, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty believed that the people of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun were eager for the arrival of the king just like the wheat seedlings are eager for the spring rain. In fact, this was not the case. The rule implemented by the Liao people in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was more difficult than other places.
It is much gentler, because the people here are responsible for 70% of the grain output of the Liao Kingdom, and it is the most important place of wealth and granary of the Liao Kingdom.
The life of the people in the Sixteen States of Yanyun is generally better than that of Hebei in the Song Dynasty. The people are like this. As long as they live a stable life and have something to eat, they don't care who is their emperor. If they care about who is the emperor, it is better to consider who the emperor is.
He is the village chief of his own family.
When Yun Zheng and Pang Ji talked about this matter, Pang Ji actually said that Yun Zheng was unkind and unjust, and that he should not think about the suffering people living under the iron heel of the Liao people like this. He also said with great interest that once Master Wang arrived, Yan
The people of Yunliu Prefecture will definitely rise up one after another to echo Master Wang. He does not think that a mere favor from the Liao people can win over the hearts and minds of the people there.
God knows where he got all this confidence. You must know that before the Song Dynasty was founded, the Liao Kingdom was already established. You, Ji, Ying, Mo, Zhuo, Tan, Shun, Xin, Gui, Ru, Wu, Wei,
The Han people in the sixteen states of Yun, Ying, Huan, and Shuo have been under the rule of the Liao Kingdom for hundreds of years. Even if they still feel grateful that they are Han people, they have been fighting against the Song Dynasty for many years, and I am afraid they no longer have much sense of belonging.
.
Yun Zheng knew better than most people in the Song Dynasty what was going on with the people. This can be seen from the fact how difficult it was for Hong Kong and Macau to return to China in later generations.
There is no big difference between the Song Dynasty and the dynasties in Chinese history. The most powerful one is the founding monarch. If the founding monarch did not complete things, if they are left to future generations, there is basically not much possibility of success. Of course, Tang Taizong Li Shimin
, and Tang Gaozu Li Zhi, these two extremely powerful emperors, are not in this sequence.
The offensive tactics implemented at the founding of the Song Dynasty were also problematic. The unified strategy of the Song Dynasty was to go from south to north, first easy and then difficult. The problem in the north was finally abandoned halfway. The "Chanyuan Alliance" put the Central Plains in a long-term passive situation.
The Song Dynasty has no kindness to the people of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, so why does it want people to rise up and welcome you?
Yun Zheng and Di Qing have discussed these issues countless times. Don't be afraid of war. Once the time comes, it shouldn't be too difficult to conquer the strong cities in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. However, if the people there don't agree with you, once the army falls into the enemy's territory,
There is great trouble in the vast sea of people. The most important part of Yunzheng's army is the supply line. He knows very well that although his army is brave, the huge logistic support is also the most important part. Once a war starts, the cost of his army will be
It must be very terrifying. If the supply line cannot be guaranteed, this battle will be almost impossible to fight. The land under the jurisdiction of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures is about 1,200 miles from east to west and 400 miles from north to south. The total area is almost 120,000
square kilometers. If there are enemies everywhere in such a vast land, the consequences will be disastrous.
The people there did not recognize the Zhao Dynasty, and the only thing Yunzheng could show was their recognition of culture. This was also the only mistake made by the Liao State. Khitan script failed to prevail in this generation, and the Khitan nobles also used it gracefully.
They are proud of the writing of the Song Dynasty, and language and writing are the biggest factors that distinguish a group of people.
Based on this, Yun Zheng must have a long talk with Yanshenggong Kong Zongyuan, and will show him his and Di Qing's argumentative manuscripts. This is something Di Qing strongly supports. Yun Zheng said that these things should not be shown to outsiders, but Di Qing
He insisted that outsiders definitely did not include Kong Zongyuan! This was the power of Confucius. The old man had used his character and morality to guarantee his descendants fifteen hundred years ago.
Ma Da and Zhang Qing, these two people and the hundreds of thieves he led were not taken seriously by Yun Zheng at all. He did not hate these two guys at all, and was even sincerely grateful that they did not appear.
Where did I get the excuse to go to the gate of Confucius Mansion?
The trouble now is to drive these guys out of Zoucheng, preferably to Xianyuan County. The magistrate of Xianyuan County is Kong Zongyuan. Of course a great Confucian is invincible in knowledge, but if he is to fight with weapons,
It would be too difficult for thieves to do their best. Xianyuan County has fifty arrests, one hundred infantry archers, and some regiment training in the countryside. Yun Zheng does not think that the old man can lead these people to defeat the thieves who are said to be thieves.
Ma Da, Zhang Qing, he is now very worried that these thugs are not fierce enough to achieve their purpose of intimidating the Kong family.
In order to make the bandits more fierce, Yun Zheng started to lead his generals to suppress the bandits as soon as he left Kaifeng Mansion. So the heroes of Shandong began to run wildly, and if they ran a little slower, they would be nailed to death by crossbow arrows.
On the tree trunk.
Starting from Xingren Prefecture, the Yun family's generals formed a team of twenty and continuously searched the plain like a net. He did not miss any place in Dingtao, Jiyin, and Juye Jizhou, until those who occupied
The ruthless bandits who were kings of the mountains fled into Liangshanbo,
Liangshan Po was created only when the Yellow River flooded in the seventh year of Qingli. Now the Yellow River has returned to its old course, so now Liang Shan Po is just a huge swamp. If it wants to become an 800-mile water pond in Liangshan, the Yellow River will need to flood two or three more times. Only when it reaches Da Da
It was only during the reign of the Frog Emperor of the Song Dynasty that the 800-mile water park was enough for the heroes of the Water Margin to gallop.
In Yuncheng, Shandong Province, Yun Zheng settled here, eating plump Yellow River carp. Across the water and the motor, Zhang Qing confronted Zhang Qing. However, his name had already spread in this land, and Yun Zheng did not believe it.
Those fierce bandits did not join Ma Da and Zhang Qing, who had already captured Zoucheng. It was the most normal thing for the bandits to join forces.
Yun Zheng believed that as long as one of Ma Da or Zhang Qingzhong was killed in Zoucheng, the remaining bandits would flee in a hurry. Under the encirclement and suppression of surrounding prefectures and counties, the only direction they could go was to Xianyuan County.
After passing through the prosperous Xianyuan County, they had the capital to escape to the Culai Mountain behind Xianyuan County. If those guys couldn't help them accomplish their goals, Yun Zheng wouldn't mind hanging them all in Xianyuan County!
Yun Zheng didn't find Ximen Qing wearing flowers on his head in Yuncheng. He was lying on the fence of the restaurant drinking wine and didn't see a three-inch girl selling sesame cakes on a load. However, he did see a few women like Pan Jinlian who were much younger.
Yun Zheng was dressed in gold, shaking his fan and looking dashing, ogling Yun Zheng constantly, or standing on his pavilion, probably putting up the window to dress up. Some of the bolder ones even brought their own vegetables and greeted Yun Zheng sweetly.
Go over and have a taste.
It seems that we have all wronged Ximen Qing. In this kind of environment, a good person will become Ximen Qing. Although Yunzheng's two wives are pregnant, he has no intention of leaving a romantic affair here. Don't let him become a good person.
After Yunmen Qing, he killed several poor Wu Da, Liu Da, etc. The force around him was too strong. Even if Wu Erlang wanted to take revenge, he would probably follow his brother and die in the sea. That would only be cheap.
This is not what Yunda wants to see. (To be continued)
