The Chinese nation has created a splendid culture with thousands of years of historical civilization, and the cultural foundation of modern China and even East Asia is Confucian culture, and Confucius, as the founder of Confucian culture, is revered as a saint. Respected and sacrificed by successive dynasties, and its descendants have enjoyed glory and wealth for thousands of years, and have been offered as saints. So the question is, if the descendants of Kong Shengren have committed a crime, what will the government do with it?
Many people have said, what kind of realm is the Sage of Kong, and how can his descendants possibly sin? In fact, no matter how the descendants of that cattle man are educated, no matter how educated, how they are educated, and how they have traditions, there will be a few scum and. Just like the dynasty, Han Gaozu, Tang Taizong, Qin Shi Huang, etc. are so cattle, and their descendants are not a bunch of scum.
Moreover, it is also common for Confucius's descendants to commit crimes, and one is recorded in the historical records of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Confucius's descendant Kong Hongxu was named Yanshenggong. Here I want to explain ah, the ancient dynasties and dynasties to the Kong family are like gods, will be knighted, enjoy extremely high treatment, basically can be said that the ancient thousands of years is the flowing water of the dynasty, the iron of the Kong family. No matter who won the world, the Kong family was the first to be pulled out and respected, and no one dared to do anything to the Kong family.
And this Yansheng Gong Kong Hongxu was a loser, a scum of the Kong family. Why? He committed a major crime, and it was almost worse than a pig and a dog, because he raped more than 40 women in Qufu, and also killed 4 people with his own hands, and in March 1466, he was stolen and captured by the local government on the spot.
But this problem is very big, this is a descendant of Confucius, the officials at that time were all reading the books of Kong Shengren to become officials, and the Ming Dynasty greatly respected the way of Confucius and Mencius. Therefore, the government did not dare to deal with it, and could only eat and drink well, and then report it to Emperor Mingxianzong. Ming Xianzong had read the file, and he was almost angry to death, this Kong Hongxu was simply not a human being, if this was an ordinary person, at least it was Ling Chi, the crime of exterminating the clan.
However, this is a descendant of Confucius, if you kill it, wouldn't you deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors? Therefore, Emperor Mingxianzong had no choice but to kill him, so he had to depose Kong Hongxu and replace Kong Hongxu's younger brother Kong Hongtai with the title of Duke of Yansheng. That was it, and it was ordered not to be discussed again. That is to say, more than 40 people were raped and 4 people were killed, that is, they deserved it, and in order to maintain the image of Confucius, they could not be spoken out.
Kong Hongxu was acquitted and went home to live comfortably. Moreover, after Kong Hongtai's death, Emperor Mingxianzong gave the title of Duke of Yansheng to Kong Hongxu's son Kong Wenshao, and in this circle, it can be said that Kong Hongxu was not disposed of at all, which shows the strong position of Confucius's descendants in the feudal era.
