On the tenth day of October in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the new calendar was finally completed under the leadership of Xu Guangqi and with the help of missionaries.
Zhu Youxiao issued an imperial edict on this day to implement the new calendar throughout the country.
It is stipulated that the sixth year of Tianqi is 2177 AD, which is the 2177th year of the birth of Confucius, which is also 1626 AD.
The time unit of the week was promoted nationwide, and the sixth day of the first lunar month in the sixth year of the Apocalypse was stipulated as Monday.
There are seven days in a week, and a week can also be called a week.
Teachers' Day is designated on October 21st and September 28th in the Western calendar every year to commemorate the birth of Confucius.
On this day, all schools will organize teachers and students to worship Confucius' spiritual statue and reflect on whether they are serious about teaching and educating people or studying seriously.
The weekly newspaper specially published a special issue on this day, telling the life story of Confucius in detail and highly praising Confucius' glorious achievements in educating the world.
We call on people across the country to remember Confucius’ great achievements.
It is education that has freed China from barbarism and enabled Chinese culture to spread faster and better to the land of China, and will soon spread to the world.
In the first year of Hongwu, he was granted the title of Xuansheng King Wenxuan, and in the eighth year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, he was granted the title of Supreme Master.
Zhu Youxiao issued an edict: "It is said that those who were born before Confucius are not Confucius and cannot be understood.
Those who are born after Confucius are not Confucius and cannot be understood.
The so-called ancestors described Yao and Shun, chartered literature and martial arts, and followed the example of hundreds of kings.
He is a teacher for all generations.
I compile and inherit Pi Xu and admire him.
Mu Feng.
According to the good rules of governance, a grand ceremony was held to confer the title of the most holy master.
He was sent to the palace to worship the father and son.
It’s so big, the sun and the moon are so bright, and Xi Qing’s famous sayings are so wonderful.”
October 21, the fifth year of Tianqi's reign, is the first Teacher's Day.
This day is a festival for all Confucian disciples and a festival for people across the country.
The emperor announced that all schools would be rewarded with a new almanac, each teacher in public schools would be rewarded with ten yuan, and each student would be rewarded with dimes equivalent to fifty pennies.
Corresponding to this excitement, the emperor did not give any reward to Yan Shenggong's Mansion.
Moreover, the emperor only paid homage to Confucius's spiritual throne at the Confucian Temple on this day, and did not send anyone to pay homage to Confucius' Mansion.
While Confucius was named the Most Holy Master of Dacheng, Yan Shengggong was not named at all.
In fact, Fang Congzhe and Ye Xianggao had proposed it before, but Zhu Youxiao set the tone with one sentence: "We respect Confucius because we respect his spirit.
What does it have to do with Yan Shenggong's family?"
What’s even more interesting is that after this special issue, there was news in the next weekly newspaper that during the Land to the Tillers movement in Shandong, someone was blocking the imperial court’s millennium plan, and one family owned tens of thousands of hectares.
Unwilling to cooperate with the court's actions, he was greedy and viciously attacked Yang Lian, the new Minister of Agriculture.
In Shandong, the only one who occupies tens of thousands of hectares is the current Yanshenggong and the 65th generation grandson of Confucius, Kong Yinzhi.
When the report came out this week, the whole country was shocked.
It was not that the Confucius family had too much land, but that the emperor was so rude to Confucius' descendants just after he designated Confucius's birthday as the first year of AD.
Now the ministers could not sit still, and all the cabinet ministers came to the emperor together, trying to dispel the emperor's idea of taking action against the Kong family.
Ye Xianggao said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not a good time to punish the Kong family at this time."
Fang Congzhe also said: "The new era law has just been promulgated, which has pushed the master's status to an unprecedented height.
At this time, it is detrimental to the master's descendants.
I think it is inappropriate."
In fact, Zhu Youxiao had always been opposed to the title Yan Shenggong.
Yanshenggong was granted the title since the Song Dynasty.
In history, the Yuan Dynasty attacked him and kissed the Mongols.
In the Ming Dynasty, he appeared hugging Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh.
After the Manchus entered the customs, he immediately turned to the Jurchens and took the initiative to shave his hair and change clothes. , and even petitioned for the implementation of the hair shaving order.
Especially during the Anti-Japanese War, Yan Shenggong stood up for the Wang Puppet Government and advocated Sino-Japanese friendship.
This kind of Yan Shenggong really disgraced Confucius.

He smiled and said: "Master's bloodline should indeed be taken care of, but I feel that since our ancestors are like this, it is outrageous for the descendants to be unworthy.
The Kong family now owns more than 20,000 hectares of land, and all of Qufu has become the private property of the Kong family, and Yang Lian asked them to sell part of their land Kong Yinzhi ignored the idea of giving it to the court or landless peasants.
He even said that the land of his ancestors should be sold lightly.
Is this the property that Confucius bought?
I don't understand the current affairs and bring shame to the master.
The people of Qufu will not agree to punish him.”
Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, if he doesn't sell his ancestral property, we can't actually punish him because there is no such article in the Ming Dynasty law.
The most we can do is condemn him and despise him."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "That's natural.
I said everything must be done in accordance with the law.
He has not broken the law, so of course I can't punish him.
But I can remove his title, and there is no legal provision for Yan Shenggong It must be continued from generation to generation.”
Ye Xianggao said: "Will this hinder the image of the master?"
Sun Chuanting said: "The descendants who are virtuous and foolish have nothing to do with me."
Ye Xianggao thought about it, it was indeed like this, it was more than sixty generations ago.
As long as the image of the master was intact, he didn't care whether Kong Yinzhi died.
So he said: "Your Majesty has the final say."
Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "First get some of the land in his hands, and then formulate a law to deal with this matter.
Master Ye will be responsible for drafting this law, and Yan Shenggong will be changed to Dacheng Shengxian.
This official position is hereditary.
After every Dacheng sage has passed away, the court should choose a successor based on the principle of establishing a successor first, followed by the direct descendants."
Ye Xianggao said: "Your Majesty, the inheritance of Yanshenggong has always been the eldest son and grandson.
If there is such a change, I am afraid there will be criticism."
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "What criticism can there be?
Since he is the sacrificial officer of the most holy master of Dacheng, of course he must have requirements for his own talents and virtues.
As for whether he is the direct eldest son or not, that actually doesn't matter.
Because they Being able to become the official of the Supreme Saint of Dacheng depends on blood.
There is no difference in blood between a direct descendant and a concubine. " Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe exchanged glances, and Fang Congzhe shook his head.
He looked at Xu Guangqi Bi Ziyan Sun Chuanting again, and saw that the three of them all shook their heads.
He was determined and said: "Your Majesty, this eldest son inheritance system has lasted for thousands of years in China, and this dynasty has established legal regulations.
If the inheritance method of the Confucius family is changed this time, I am afraid it will make everyone uneasy. " Zhu Youxiao said curiously: "What makes you feel uneasy?
I'm just a priest of Dacheng's most holy master."
All the ministers bowed their heads and said nothing.
Zhu Youxiao looked at it and said suddenly: "I understand, you are worried about the imperial line
