Because of Kong Ne's words, the courtyard of the main hall of the Kong Mansion suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Not only the people on Wei Wu's side were stunned, but even the people from the Kong family were all staring at the head of the family, Kong Ne, in a daze.

Indeed, none of the people present knew what the Mongolian words Kong Ne shouted meant.

But it is still obvious that it is Mongolian, after all, the Yuan Dynasty Mongolian rule was not long ago.

So the question is, Kong Ne, as a descendant of a saint and the head of the Kong family, actually spoke in Mongolian.

This matter can be said to be as weird as it can be.

You must know that Confucianism and Taoism are prevalent in China today, and foreigners have always been objects of contempt and scorn.

Even learning useful knowledge from foreign countries would be resisted by Confucianism and even be condemned by the public.

As the head of the Confucius family, which is the head of Confucianism, actually spoke in a foreign language. It is no exaggeration to say that it is an insult to society.

This kind of thing is hard to accept, not to mention the scholars in the world, even the people in the Confucius Mansion find it difficult to accept. Once it is spread out, it will be criticized by people all over the world.

But Kong Ne just spoke it so fluently, and his accent sounded particularly authentic, which was very problematic.

Just when everyone was shocked, Wei Wu suddenly remembered something.

He once saw a post online saying that the Kong family had split into North Kong and South Kong during the Yuan Dynasty.

During the Song-Jin War, Kong Duanyou was unwilling to surrender to the Yuan Mongolian court.

He left his homeland with his fellow tribesmen who shared the same ideals, followed Emperor Gaozong of Song and crossed the river to the south to settle in Quzhou.

The branch that stayed in Qufu defected to the Jin Dynasty. In order to win over the Han people, Jin Xizong named Bei Kong the Duke of Yansheng.

Since then, the Confucius Mansion was divided into two branches, the Southern and Northern branches, but in fact the Southern Confucius was the true direct descendant of Confucius.

After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, Bei Kong surrendered to Mongolia again, but Kublai Khan, the leader of the Yuan Dynasty, looked down upon Bei Kong's despicable behavior.

The original intention was to let Nan Kong inherit the title of Duke Yansheng, but Nan Kong refused the Yuan Dynasty's enthronement and gave the title to Bei Kong.

But the title was given to the legitimate heir rather than the legitimate one, so they were not the Yansheng Dukes, but they were indeed the legitimate and orthodox ones.

It’s a pity that compared with the side branch Bei Kong who exploited the people, the life of the direct branch Nan Kong can only be described as miserable.

Then the real key question comes. According to the content of the post, Beikong was actually replaced by the Yuan Mongols.

Kublai Khan looked down upon Bei Kong, the spineless man who wrote a letter of surrender, but Nan Kong refused to surrender to the Yuan Mongol court.

However, Confucius had such a great influence in the world that they found a Mongolian and asked him to change his surname to Kong and become the Duke of Yansheng.

Then they fabricated the story of Kong Mo and Kong Chaos to cover up the truth, so as to avoid exposing the fact that they had come to power illegitimately and had impure bloodline.

This is also the reason why Northern Kong surrendered and submitted petitions during the Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic periods.

Because they have not inherited Confucius' spirit and character at all.

To be honest, whether it is Southern Confucius or Northern Confucius, it is actually the same to Wei Wu.

There must be a reason why later generations commented that he was a family slave for 72 generations, a traitor for 25 dynasties, and had been writing letters of surrender and submitting memorials for generations.

His attitude is to respect Confucius but not his disciples. Confucius is Confucius, and his descendants are his descendants. The two cannot be confused.

As for whether Bei Kong has Yuan Meng blood, Wei Wu doesn't know whether this is true or not.

But he did hear about something later.

Later generations conducted DNA analysis on a man surnamed Kong in Qufu, Shandong, and discovered something astonishing.

The DNA sequences of a considerable number of Kong families are similar to those of the descendants of Wang Han Kerey, a nobleman of the Mongolian Plateau, and Dayan Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

In other words, there is indeed Mongolian blood gene in Beikong.

Originally, Wei Wu was not very sure about this matter, but now the facts are before him.
