I want to be a grandson

Chapter 355 The Black Material of Duke Yansheng
"If someone dares to cover each other and kill the people who complained, no matter who they are, they will be punished as conspiracy! You are allowed to shoot and kill! No need to ask for life!"

Xu Huizu took it over solemnly, and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, my subordinates will definitely not disappoint Your Highness!"

Xu Huizu left, and was ordered to lead his troops to leave for Shandong.

But everyone in the lobby has not recovered from their astonishment.

You must know that what His Highness bestowed was King Wu Sword!

It was Zhu Yuanzhang's sword when he became the king of Wu in order to calm the world. This sword is of great significance!

Even the matching sword that Zhu Yuanzhang is using now can't be compared at all!

This is like the Chixiao sword used by Han Gaozu Liu Bang when he cut the White Snake Uprising, it is a symbol of imperial power!
With this sword, even if Xu Huizu killed all the officials in Shandong, the soldiers under him would follow orders!

As long as Xu Huizu and others arrive, the Kong family will have no chance of overturning the case!Your Highness, this is not a chance for the Kong family!

This shows how much His Highness hates the Kong family in his heart!

Zhu Yunxi, who sat back on the chair again, still had a very heavy expression on his face.

The Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Metropolitan Procuratorate went to investigate the case, and Xu Huizu led troops to control Shandong's military, government, and judiciary.
Even if the object of investigation is the Kong family, they can only watch helplessly!

"Everyone, it is said that after the Confucius family is a sage, it has been descended from generation to generation, what is the saying?!"

Qi Tai replied: "Your Highness, after the court canonized a saint, he was called Yan Sheng Gong. But it was not called Yan Sheng Gong at the beginning. In the 12th year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Kong Teng, the eighth grandson of Confucius, was enshrined Jun."

"Since then, the eldest grandson of Confucius has had hereditary titles. In the following thousand years, the titles have changed many times, and the titles are not the same."

"According to historical records, the descendants of Confucius are the eldest sons of the Confucian family. Saints were called Baocheng, Baozun, and Zongsheng in the Han and Wei Dynasties, worshiped in the Jin and Song Dynasties, and worshiped in the Later Wei."

"Northern Qi was honored as Gongsheng, and later Zhou and Sui conferred the title of Zou Guo. At the beginning of Tang Dynasty, it was called Baosheng. In the middle of Kaiyuan, Confucius was posthumously named King Wenxuan, and later as Duke Wenxuan."

After a pause, he said: "At that time, the descendants of Confucius were also divided into Wen Xuangong. In the second year of Zhihe in the Northern Song Dynasty, Dr. Zu Wuxuan wrote a letter, saying that it was inappropriate to add the posthumous title of his ancestor Confucius to his descendants. , should be corrected.”

"Song Renzong adopted this suggestion, and then ordered Yousi to confirm that the descendants of Confucius can be conferred as Yan Shenggong, so that it can be hereditary."

""Yan" means the continuous development of the holy descendants and the endless reproduction from generation to generation, which represents the highest state of the emperor's respect for Confucius and saints."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and asked again: "I heard people say that the Confucius family has something like "three princes coexist, and two sects coexist". What's going on?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. As a well-educated person, it is not too difficult to answer this question.

But no one understands what His Highness's intention is by asking this question!

Your Highness is really curious to know?
Still don't have a plan?
Because it involves the scandal of the Kong family!

Tie Xuan took the initiative to salute and said: "Your Highness, the so-called "Three Dukes Coexist, Two Schools Stand Together" means that after the title of "Yan Sheng Gong" came out, the Jurchens and Mongols competed to steal it in order to win people's hearts."

"So that the Song Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, and Yuan Dynasty all embraced "Yansheng Gong", one in Quzhou, one in Kaifeng, and one in Qufu..."

"During the Song Huizong period, Kong Duanyou, the No.40 seventh-generation eldest grandson of Confucius, succeeded him as Duke Yansheng. Unfortunately, shortly after his succession, troubled times appeared. At that time, Jin soldiers went south in large numbers.
In order to preserve the treasures inherited from the Confucius family, Duke Yansheng Kong Duanyou took him with him to the south and went to Song Gaozong Zhao Gou who established the Southern Song Dynasty in Lin'an. "

"The Jin people occupied the north, and in order to win the hearts of the scholars, they also want to support a Yan Shenggong to prove that they are the orthodox dynasty.

"So the Jin people made Kong Duanyou's younger brother, Kong Duancao's son, Kong Fan, as Yan Shenggong. Because when Kong Ruiyou went south, his younger brother stayed behind at the Confucius Forest and the Confucius Temple.

He didn't follow him south, so he became a bargaining chip used by the Jinren to support another Yan Shenggong! "

"So at this time, there are two schools in the north and the south. In the south is Kong Ruiyou. They are the serious descendants of Confucius."

"In the north is the line of Kong Duancao, because they occupy the Confucian forest and the Confucius Temple, and they have also gained some hearts, and they are fighting against Yan Shenggong in the south."

Zhu Yunxi suddenly asked: "That is to say, the Confucian family in Qufu is the successor of Yan Shenggong established by the Jin people?"

Tie Xuan nodded and said: "Your Highness is right, they are indeed canonized by Jinren."

"Oh I got it……"

Zhu Yunxi winked at Tie Xuan and then at Qin Kui.

Tie Xuan immediately understood what he meant, and said to Qin Kui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, "Qin Shangshu, I don't know what I understand next, how about please tell me?"

The reason why Zhu Yunxi asked Qin Kui to complain was because the Ministry of Industry was under his own management, but Qin Kui was after all a minister promoted and appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and his relationship with him was not close.

Coupled with the great influence of the Confucian family among scholars, if Zhu Yunxi wants to deal with the Confucian family, he must get the support of more courtiers!
Only by letting Qin Kui participate in it will he become his accomplice. At that time, not only will he not object, but he will also be able to help!
This is exactly the reason why people have to pull others into the water when they are doing things!
Qin Kui said modestly: "Your Majesty Tie, you are welcome. This kind of thing is not too difficult. Why should you be modest?"

Tie Xuan quickly shook his head and said, "I'm still a student in front of you, so I ask you to give me your advice, sir."

Qin Kui glanced at Zhu Yunxi with his eyes, knowing that it was the emperor's grandson, so he no longer evaded it.

He opened his mouth and said: "The Jin people went south, causing Yan Shenggong to be divided into two branches, the north and the south. Later, when the Mongols went south, the situation of Yan Shenggong changed again."

"At that time, Kong Yuancuo was the head of Yansheng Gong who lived in the Confucian Temple in Qufu. He was supported by the Jin people, but when the Mongols went south to attack the Jin Dynasty, he was afraid of being implicated, so he had to go south to seek refuge.

He followed the Jin Dynasty from Qufu to Bianliang, and the Confucian Temple in Qufu was taken care of by his brother Kong Yuan. "

"It is recorded in "Golden History": "Shusuo Hanlin scholar Zhao Bingwen, Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yuancuo and other 27 families, as well as the family members of the returnees, Pu'a's wife, embroidered women, bow craftsmen, and Yingren and dozens of people. "

"The Mongols came to Qufu and found that Yan Shenggong had gone to Bianliang and could not be used by them, so they set up a local one in Qufu. They made Kong Yuanyong and Kong Zhiquan father and son as Yan Shenggong."

"At this time, the situation of Yan Shenggong became more complicated. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was Yan Shenggong from the lineage of Kong Duanyou, and in the Jin Dynasty, there was Yansheng Gong from the lineage of Kong Yuancuo.
Later, Mongolia occupied Qufu, and there was Yan Shenggong of Kong Yuanyong's lineage. This is also what people often say that the three princes coexist. "

"The Mongols captured Bianjing City, and Kong Yuancuo, the Duke of Yansheng in the Jin Dynasty, was captured alive by the Mongols. After that, Kong Yuancuo was established as Duke Yansheng by the Mongols.

Kong Zhiquan, the Duke of Yansheng they established before, was abolished and served as Qufu Order.In this way, the situation of the two sects of Yan Shenggong in the north and the south reappeared. "

Qin Kui paused and looked at Zhu Yunxi again.

I saw him with a smile on his face, staring at Qin Kui with a secret face, as if he was giving encouragement, don't seem to have other plans...

Seeing his eyes, Qin Kui suddenly felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but move his body. His Highness just stared at him like this, and he couldn't stop.
He could only clear his throat, and continued: "After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Chengzong once again established Kong Zhiquan's eldest son, Kong Zhi, as Duke Yansheng. At this time, there is only one Duke Yansheng in the world.

"After Kong Zhi's death, his son Kong Sicheng inherited Duke Yan, but members of the Kong family disagreed with this. They wrote a letter stating that Kong Zhi's son, Kong Sicheng, was a concubine and should not inherit Duke Yan."

"Yuan Renzong sent people to investigate, and finally established Kong Sihui as the eldest son of Confucius."

"This Kong Sihui is the 49th generation grandson of Confucius, the eldest son of Kong Yuanxiao, the eldest son of Kong Fu, and the eldest grandson of Kong Yuanyong, the second son of Kong Fu, Kong Sicheng."

"Therefore, Kong Sihui is the eldest son, so he was named Yan Shenggong by Yuan Renzong."

Having said this, Qin Kui stopped, picked up the teacup and drank it slowly, as if he was not going to say any more.

Zhu Yun didn't force it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin must be dry after talking for so long, Tie Xuan, why don't you add a cup of tea to Mr. Qin."

"Oh, look at my memory, His Highness is thoughtful! Mr. Qin, please!"

As Tie Xuan spoke, he picked up the teapot and poured tea for Qin Kui.

"Thank you Your Highness, Mr. Tie is very polite..."

The clothes are easy to wear, but the acting is difficult!
This cup of tea is not so easy to drink!

Qin Kui knew that after drinking this cup of tea, he would be on the side of His Highness the Emperor Taisun in dealing with the matter of the Kong family!
There are many things that don’t need to be stated at all, as long as a small action is enough!

This is the art of speaking pursued by later generations, and in the hands of these top literati in ancient times, it is even more proficient in playing!
Qin Kui didn't know how the emperor's grandson would deal with the Kong family. Although the Kong family did many evil things, they were after all saints.

If it's too much, what should I do?

Is it to dissuade or speak out in support?

It's really embarrassing!
But His Highness gave him tea, but he couldn't do it if he didn't drink it!

I could only sigh secretly in my heart, handed over the teacup with both hands, and accepted His Highness's kindness...

Being a courtier is also very helpless...

Zhu Yunxie said meaningfully: "I heard from you just now that the Confucian family in Qufu has been treated with courtesy by the court since the Han Dynasty. No family in the world is as honorable and prominent as them!"

"What the lonely king doesn't understand is that since the Kong family is a saint, they should know etiquette and shame! Know loyalty, filial piety and righteousness! Whenever there is a change of dynasty, you can see a group of benevolent people who can die generously to repay the emperor's favor!"

"After the fall of a dynasty, those loyal ministers and righteous men will never serve the new dynasty. They will follow the dynasty and die in martyrdom!"

Zhu Yunxi said angrily: "However, in the past 600 years, there has never been anyone in the Kong family, but no one has ever been willing to sacrifice their lives and go to the national calamity together! This is really puzzling!"
