I want to be a grandson

Chapter 359 Nailed to the Pillar of Shame!

Tie Xuan also said: "Yes, Your Highness, although the name Yan Shenggong has no real power, it is the focus of scholars all over the world. If it can be preserved, it will also help His Highness win the hearts of the people!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "I will refer to what you said..."

The two finally took a breath, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

If an obedient person is replaced by Yan Shenggong, and he is set up as a puppet,

Apart from all the privileges of the Kong family, Nayan Shenggong is nothing more than a mascot!

In this way, not only civil and military officials will not obstruct, but the impact will not be so bad!
After all, in this day and age, even though one feels contemptuous and unwilling to admit it, one has to say it.

Scholars are also part of the foundation of the world, and a large part of it!
This is exactly the reason why the emperor wants to win over scholars!
It would be extremely unwise for the emperor to oppose the scholars all over the world!

Even if Zhu Yunxi has the ideas of future generations and understands the advanced social system, if he wants to change, it is impossible to achieve it in one step!

The stride is too big, it is easy to hurt the hip bone...

Zhu Yunxi asked them to get up, then looked at the two and asked: "So, in your opinion, how should we deal with the Kong family?"

I listened to your suggestions, but now is the time for you to work hard!
The two of them knew that they couldn't escape at all, and as His Highness' confidants, it was their duty to make suggestions.

Qi Tai thought for a while, saluted and said: "His Royal Highness, if you want to deal with the Kong family, the first thing to do is to implement all the crimes against the Kong family!"

"The charges brought against the Kong family by the common people should be true, and His Highness also sent the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to Shandong, so they should be able to find out the crimes committed by the Kong family! So there is no need to say more about this."

Zhu Yunxi showed a smile on his face, and said: "Since you said that, there must be other plans, so don't hide it, talk about it."

"My subordinates dare not..."

There was also a hint of ferocity on Qi Tai's face, and he said: "The Kong family has committed so many crimes, if they are allowed to escape the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they will really be ashamed of the common people!
However, the civil and military officials and the people of the world must be made to hate the Kong family's crimes!Because just based on the crime alone, it is inevitable that some people will feel that they can be merciful outside the law and can override the laws of Ming Dynasty, and they will feel sympathy for the Kong family! "

"So we must let others understand that it is not for other reasons to deal with the Kong family, but because they deserve it!"

Tie Xuan took it over, and said fiercely in his eyes: "Qi Tai's intention is to find ways to destroy the image of the Kong family in people's minds!
To make everyone in the world think that the Kong family is a hideout, the most evil, cruel and heartless..."

"The reputation of the Kong family is rotten and rotten in the eyes of the world. Others will only hate them, and no one will speak for them."

"At that time, His Highness will be wise and powerful in dealing with the Kong family, and it will be to eradicate traitors for the country!"

Qi Tai looked at Tie Xuan, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably...

Is this what I mean?

Is there any meaning in my words?

This is too cruel!
It's like nailing the Kong family to a pillar of shame!
"Okay! What you two said is really good words!"

Zhu Yunxie said with satisfaction: "That's right, if crimes are used alone, those who enjoy privileges will not agree with them, after all, they are the same as the Kong family!
But if the reputation of the Kong family is rotten, let's see who dares to defend the Kong family! "

It has to be said that literati are more ruthless than martial arts!

If you follow the routine of generals, at most you will convict them, and then send troops to arrest them all and put them in prison. Those who deserve to be killed will be exiled!
Look at the result of doing this is not good!

Some people even think that this is a frame-up by the court!It is intentional to suppress the Kong family!
Maybe decades later, they will "petition" for the Kong family, and the Kong family can rise again!

Because in this era, as long as there is a reputation, many aristocratic families will help them, and there is hope for their rise!
But if his reputation is so bad that everyone avoids him, even scolds and hates him, then he has no hope of making a comeback!

Zhu Yunxie said to Tie Xuan: "Since this is the case, how to spread the scandal of the Kong family to the world, this important task is entrusted to you, don't disappoint the king's will!"

Tie Hyun's face suddenly became very exciting!
With a bitter face, he said: "Your Highness, you can't, my subordinates have been taught the way of saints since elementary school, and they pay attention to being aboveboard. This, this..."

Zhu Yunxi said with a straight face: "You mean this is a conspiracy!"

"Don't dare, I don't dare, my subordinates don't mean that, please forgive me, Your Highness!..."

Zhu Yunxie glared at him, and said angrily: "You can't hold back your mouth! If this matter is done well, you can be promoted to a higher level. If you can't do it well..."

Tie Xuan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this subordinate will definitely do a good job! Never let Your Highness down!"

Zhu Yunxi said to Wang Zhong again: "If you cooperate with Tie Xuan, you must achieve perfection!"

"Yes, the servant obeys!"

Tie Xuan was taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, can the internal officials help you with this matter?"

When Wang Zhong heard this, he was immediately unhappy.

However, due to his status as a eunuch, he really has no status, so he just rolled his eyes at Tie Xuan.

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile on his face: "Wang Zhong, people doubt you, what do you say?"

Hearing that His Highness supported him, Wang Zhong was not polite, he glanced at his Tie Xuan and said, "Master Tie, who do you look down on? Can't compare to you..."

Tie Xuan was extremely embarrassed. What he said just now was dealing with the Kong family, and he said that the sage taught him, which is obviously to hate himself.

The key is that I can't refute it!
Wang Zhong continued: "But when it comes to this matter, you really don't necessarily have the skills of our family!"

Tie Xuan was afraid of what he would say, so he said quickly: "Then rely on the prince..."

"It's almost..."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Okay, let's work together..."

"Yes, your subordinates obey!"

At the beginning, Zhu Yunxi sent Wang Zhong to spread the news in the capital, and only then did Zhan Hui, the official minister, be overthrown.

Zhu Yunxi entrusted him with many "skills" at that time, and Wang Zhong learned them very quickly.
And he has done an excellent job and has potential in this area...

Uh, why does it feel like Dongchang?

Zhu Yunxie ordered again: "Li Fu, pass on an order to let people from the Southern Sect of the Confucius family copy a portrait of a saint and send it to the capital!"

"In addition, the Confucius family in Quzhou is the descendant of the sage Confucius after all, and the blood of the sage is also the blood of the sage. The court should also appease him... Well, let them nominate one to be a doctor of the Five Classics of the Imperial Academy."

"Yes, the servant obeys!" Li Fu replied.

When Kong Ruiyou left Qufu, Shandong and went south, he carried the regular wood statues of Confucius and his wife on his back.

This is also the "sacred object" of the Confucian family, and it is the reliance of the Nanzong to wrestle with the Beizong!

They moved south to Quzhou, which is today's Quzhou City, where they set up their ancestral temple, known as the Southern Sect of Kong.

However, it was the Northern Sect in Qufu that had been recognized by the imperial court, so the Southern Sect seemed to be in decline.

It was not until the middle of the Ming Dynasty that many officials spoke for the Southern Sect of the Kong family.

With the return of Nanzong's sacrificial fields and the exemption of hard labor, it was put on the agenda to entrust the Concubine Nanzong's heir to an official position.

However, because of Beizong Yanshenggong, he was afraid that the imperial court would make the person of Nanzong Yanshenggong, which would make him lose his status.

Just obstructing the imperial court's preferential treatment of Nanzong, and suppressing it in many ways, it has not been realized for a long time.

Until the 18th year of Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youtang's Hongzhi reign in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Jie, the prefect of Quzhou, said, "The holy temple in Quzhou, since Kong Zhu's resignation, has been dressed in the same manner as a gangster. Now I am visiting the sixth grandson Yansheng of Zhu, please give me an official, to serve the Lord's sacrifice"

"His ancestors sacrificed to the fields. At the beginning of Hongwu, he started a civil service if it was light, and later changed to a heavy tax. Please change it to a light one for the sacrifice fee" was recognized by Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty.

In the first year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, granted Kong Yansheng the title of doctor of the Five Classics of the Imperial Academy, which was hereditary to his descendants, and the tax for sacrificing land was reduced.

It's a pity that for some unknown reason, the government of the Ming Dynasty actually helped the Nanzong establish a clan motto.

In the first year of Zhengde, after the Confucian Nanzong was restored to the title, in order to further standardize the management of the Confucian Nanzong family, Shen Jie, the prefect of Quzhou, formulated the "Imperial Kong Family Regulations", which was approved and published by the imperial court.

In the first article of the family regulations, the descendants of the southern sect of the Kong family are required to "always abide by the code and abide by the ancestral tradition", and must not spy on the felony of the north, and never use it.

If there is any violation of this article, it will be punished as disloyalty and disfilial piety.
To put it simply, the descendants of Jiang Nanzong will never be able to compete for the position of Duke Yansheng!

And it is determined as a system!
It is also stipulated that the descendants of the southern sect of the Kong family will go to Queli once every ten years, that is, to Qufu to worship the holy ancestor's family temple and sweep the mountains and forests. The purpose is to strengthen the connection between the northern and southern sects.

Although this was the result of a compromise after Nanzong was suppressed.

But why is your government joining in the fun here!
As a wise emperor, I wish they would fight!

The harder you fight, the better!

Moreover, it is also stipulated that if any descendants dare not abide by the family rules, the doctor can educate them according to the family rules, or send them to the government for questioning and remove their family names!
They are not allowed to enjoy the many favors of the imperial court, such as exemption from business trips, entering temples for sacrifices, etc., and they are not allowed to be buried in the family cemetery where the saints of the past dynasties are located after death.

This time, the chance of Nanzong people to compete for Yan Shenggong was completely cut off!

A small doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy bought them off!

It is estimated that Yan Shenggong was secretly having fun at that time!

Qi Tai hurriedly said: "Your Highness, didn't you say that you want to keep the name of Lord Yansheng? Why..."

But Zhu Yunxi said: "All the scholars in the world want is a Yan Shenggong, and they didn't say who they must be. Besides, it is also a kindness from the court to show kindness to the Kong family in Quzhou."

"Furthermore, can the honorary title of Lord Yan Sheng only be given to the Northern Sect, who has both ends of the mouse's head and has no integrity?!"

When Qi Tai heard the words, he didn't say anything more.

His Highness is right, the name of Duke Yan Sheng that scholars all over the world care about is not him!
It's the same for whoever becomes Duke Yan Sheng!
Your Highness, I definitely want to change to someone who is obedient!
