After all, allegiance to a letter is worthless, and it can be used with a different name!

But this doesn't prevent Zhu Hongyu from being happy, does it?
Opening a letter of allegiance casually, flipping through it casually, Zhu Hongyu casually asked Wang Ruxian beside him.

"How? Have you counted how many letters of loyalty there are here?"

Wang Ruxian bowed slightly, just said with a smile.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are a total of 53 letters of allegiance here, and the gentry in many places are expressing their allegiance to me, Daming, with a very sincere attitude."

After saying this, Wang Ruxian's tone paused, as if he remembered something, he spoke.

"Among these letters of allegiance, the most important one comes from Qufu, Shandong."

When Zhu Hongyu heard this, the smile on his face disappeared in just an instant.

All that's left is barely veiled disgust!
With a sneer, Zhu Hongyu spoke.

"Ha ha!"

"Worthy of being the Kong family who surrendered the list of Shixiu, he really has rich experience, and his movements are really fast!"

The irony and disgust in Zhu Hongyu's words can be heard by almost anyone.

Naturally, Wang Ruxian is also the same, he opened his mouth to answer the question.

"Your Majesty, how do we deal with these letters of loyalty? Do I, Ming, want to respond?"

What Wang Ruxian wanted to ask the most was Zhu Hongyu's attitude towards the letter of loyalty sent by the Kong family.

Although he is also full of disdain and contempt for the Kong family!
But after all, it is the Confucian family, a descendant of a saint, a family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and its influence on Shandong and even the whole world is needless to say.

After Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, he spoke.

"Send a copy of the loyalty letter of the Confucius family to the Qing court!"

"I'd like to see how the Qing court plans to deal with the Kong family!"

Wang Ruxian didn't show any expression on his face when he heard the words, but his heart skipped a beat.

Because he knew that Zhu Hongyu was not prepared to accept the Kong family's surrender, and was going to settle accounts with the Kong family.

Moreover, he was going to borrow a knife to kill people to settle the score!

"I will also write another letter to the Kong family!"

While talking, Zhu Hongyu dipped his pen into the ink, spread out the rice paper, and wrote four types.

"Shixiu lowers the list!"

The four big characters of flamboyant and phoenix dance are full of sharpness.

That sharpness almost got off the paper.

Now Zhu Hongyu can be regarded as having practiced, and his brush calligraphy has gradually improved to a certain level.

Although it is not as good as those masters, it can be regarded as having its own charm!
Zhu Hongyu dried the ink on the rice paper, then folded the paper, stuffed it into the envelope, and said casually.

"Send this letter to the Kong family!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Ruxian's expression changed slightly.

Couldn't help but open his mouth to remonstrate.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this...reply letter!"

Zhu Hongyu put down the brush casually and asked.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Wang Ruxian said hesitantly.

"The Kong family is a descendant of a sage and has great influence on the world."

"If Your Majesty just pushes the Kong family out like this, I'm afraid it will hurt your reputation."

The reason why the Kong family has such a high status is not because of the strength of the Kong family, but because scholars all over the world recognize the status of the Kong family. …

Now that Zhu Hongyu has offended the Kong family to death, it may be difficult for Daming to gain a foothold among scholars in the future.

Although the Kong family has no ability to cause any substantial harm to Daming!

But with its influence among scholars, it is not a problem for Daming to be disgusted.

Zhu Hongyu heard the words, but just said with a sneer.

"The foundation of our Ming Dynasty is the outstanding contribution made by our Ming Dynasty to exorcise the Tartars twice and restore China, for the common people and the Han family's clothing culture."

"It's not the so-called scholastics, and the confession of the Confucius family who surrendered the table!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the reason why he was so aggrieved to invite the Kong family into the dynasty to be Yan Shenggong was because the Ming Dynasty was not stable at that time.

It must be recognized by the world's scholars, and let the world's scholars recognize that Ming is orthodox, so that Ming can really gain a firm foothold.

In this way, the Kong family dared to make gestures in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and play tricks of three words and three concessions!
But now it is not needed!

The Ming Dynasty was established for more than 200 years, and its influence on the world has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Daming is orthodox, no one needs to admit it!

Even if it is the Confucian family, even if the entire scholarly community does not recognize it, it will not be able to change the orthodox position of Daming in the hearts of the people of the world.

This is the legacy brought about by Emperor Taizu's expulsion of the Tartars and the restoration of China, and the impact of Zhu Hongyu's re-initiation of the restoration of China.

Daming doesn't need anyone to admit it!

Daming is Daming, and the world is orthodox!
Therefore, Zhu Hongyu now looks down on the Kong family.

The reason why he made concessions to the landlords and gentry was because Zhu Hongyu was facing an entire interest class.

No shame in making concessions to an entire class!

However, why did the Kong family make Zhu Hongyu give in?
What are they?
Zhu Hongyu wanted to move the Kong family. Without any real interests, would someone stand up and bear Zhu Hongyu's pressure to speak for the Kong family?

Zhu Hongyu really didn't think anyone would be so stupid!

Zhu Hongyu let out a breath of foul air slowly, looked at Wang Ruxian and said.

"Stop talking so much nonsense, and do as you are told!"

Seeing Zhu Hongyu's obviously impatient expression, Wang Ruxian didn't dare to say anything more, but bowed to his orders.

"The minister obeys the order!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed and retreated.

Zhu Hongyu continued to think about things. The most important thing for him recently was the progress of the battle in Huguang.

At this moment, someone outside asked to see him again.

"Your Majesty, General Wu Tuo has returned from Jiangbei and is seeking an audience outside Xingyuan!"

Zhu Hongyu narrowed his eyes and spoke.

"Bring people in!"

Not long after, Wu Tuo was invited in from the outside.

With a plop, Wu Tuo knelt down in front of Zhu Hongyu, touched his forehead to the ground, and spoke.

"The last general greets His Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, Long live, Long live!"

Zhu Hongyu gently lifted Wu Tuo who was kneeling in front of him, and said in a gentle voice.

"You don't need to be too polite, General Wutuo!"

"Be flat, give a seat!"

Facing Zhu Hongyu's offer of a seat, Wu Tuo just sat down half of his buttocks carefully, looking a little cautious.

Zhu Hongyu ordered someone to serve tea, and then asked in a gentle voice.

"Where is Feyangu now?"

Wu took off his face and said in a very serious tone.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, that traitor Fei Yanggu is currently being held outside the gate. If Your Majesty wants to see him, he can be brought in at any time!"

Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu narrowed his eyes and said.

"No need, he's just a prisoner, why did I see him!"

"Order Jin Yiwei to take over Fei Yanggu and interrogate him. I want to know all the current movements of the Qing court."

"After the interrogation is over, send it to Xiaoling to worship the heavens!"
