Chapter 2628 What is the name of becoming famous?(2/2)
After entering Fang Street, you can see it at a glance without any special guidance.
Xi Lu looked at the tall Kong family lintel in the distance and suddenly couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth. He didn't know why he laughed like this, probably because of jealousy or a little ridiculous?
When the Kong family member in the Lifang had just rushed back to the mansion, Xi Lu and his soldiers rushed to the front door.
Cao Xun took the lead and rushed straight through the door lintel.
There was a servant standing in front of the Confucius Mansion holding a wooden guard before the main gate, his hands and feet were trembling, but he still shouted: "This is the descendants of the saints and the place where the Wenhua inherits! You and other soldiers are not allowed to be arrogant..."
『Hmph…』 Cao Xun waved his hand, 『Remember! Kong's noble slave, holding a stick, resisted arrest! Kill!』
A soldier immediately shot the bow and shot the somewhat loyal servant in front of the steps with one arrow.
The other soldiers either followed Cao Xun to rush into the Kong Mansion directly, or ran around the corridor of the courtyard gate with swords and guns, driving all the Kong family servants and others to the yard to kneel down!
The originally gorgeous and beautiful house quickly became a mess.
All kinds of crying sounds are endless.
In the Kong family's house, people have been in panic recently. The head of the family Kong Rong was in the forefront. Although he tried hard to comfort him, it was still unconclusive. At the same time, another Kong family's son, Kong Qian, was also imprisoned in Xu County. Most of the Kong family's sons are good-for-eating children, and they faced a difficult situation. Basically, I looked at you and me, then sighed and paused, and finally drank together. They drank together, and they forgot everything.
The Kong family had never thought that one day would come to their heads.
Because they are "descendants of saints", "literary conscience", "representatives of China", "civilization symbols", they are born superior, and they do not have to worry about food and drink when they land...
But they didn't know at all that even Confucius himself was unwilling to wear the most glamorous title of "descendants of saints".
Confucius knew in his heart how many benefits there would be after becoming a "saint", but he denied that he was a "saint".
Confucius was always humble, rigorous in his studies, and was relatively clear-headed, so he always lowered his attitude and spoke cautiously when talking about himself. He believed that people had four categories: "being born to know", "learning to know", "learning to learn" and "being unable to learn", and only those who "being born to know" can be considered as saints, and Confucius himself belonged to "being learned" at most.
Confucius said: "I am not born to know it, but I like ancient and quick-witted to seek it."
As for the person who wanted Confucius to become a "sage", it was not Confucius himself, but related stakeholders, such as Zigong. Zigong was the initiator and promoter of the earliest "sage creation movement".
It cannot be denied that Zigong is indeed a talented and loyal person, and he also has a strong sense of belonging to Confucius.
When Confucius passed away, because he was not by his side at that time, after the three years of his disciples' houses to mourn, he stayed alone to continue mourning for three years, which shows that his feelings for Confucius were extraordinary.
Respecting Confucius as a saint is carried out in this process.
Mencius recorded the situation at that time. Zigong, Zaiwo, Youruo and others jointly planned and launched a sage creation movement. Part of the purpose was to respect Confucius, but the larger part was because after Confucius' death, Confucius' thoughts and articles were slandered and eliminated, and the entire faction was about to collapse. Therefore, in order to preserve Confucius' thoughts and maintain the status of the Confucian faction, they took out a banner of "sages" before Confucius' tombstone.
The three of them joined forces to create momentum, comparing Confucius to Yao and Shun, the king of a hundred generations, as well as Qilin, Phoenix, Mount Tai, Rivers and Seas, etc., exaggerating Confucius' ideological realm and historical achievements to an unparalleled level...
Anyway, I am shameless, so I won’t feel embarrassed if I have anything to do.
Even so, Confucius did not ascend to the throne of saints in the Warring States Period, but was gradually granted the title of saints in later generations.
Now, when this sacred descendant of the saint was trampled under his feet, he suddenly realized that the so-called saint name and descendant of the Kong family were actually not as strong as Kong Rong and others imagined...
"Those who resist arrest and arrest will be killed!"
