Chapter 98 Comrade Old Zhu's Combination Fist!The fourth unicorn treasure is born!
Chapter 98 Comrade Old Zhu's Combination Fist!The fourth unicorn treasure is born!
"By the way, Mr. Kong."
"The younger generation in our family, it seems that some people proposed to open a porridge shop."
"In this way, we can also take the opportunity to gain a reputation among the common people. After all, if too many people really starve to death, it would not be too good. Our foundation is still in Shandong Chief Envoy."
"Do you think—"
A man surnamed Zhang Haoqiang said in a discussing tone.
However, he only spoke half of what he said before he was glared at by the white-browed Kong Kejian, and abruptly swallowed the remaining half of his words.
Teacup in hand.
It was also placed heavily on the wooden table, making a dull sound.
This Zhang Haoqiang couldn't help but tremble. He also knew that what he said earlier seemed to have angered Mr. Kong a bit. In front of ordinary people, he was a powerful and powerful man, but in front of the Kong family, he was still just A small shrimp may be crushed to death at any time.
Kong Kejian scolded: "Nonsense! Do you think this is playing tricks! This is a moment related to the continuation and prosperity of our family!"
What a joke.
Does the life and death of those untouchables have anything to do with them?
Anyway, there are nearly 400 million people in Shandong's chief envoy, and Kong Kejian would not feel any pity if tens of thousands of people died at random. These untouchables would be considered worthy of death if they could pave the way for the children of the Kong family.
The tenants and servants of the family must have the most basic rations, no matter how dead they are, they will not be lost to their Kong family.
just now.
Taking advantage of the drought and food shortage.
Countless people are on the brink of starvation and rebellion.
The Confucius family was able to take this opportunity, and the lion opened its mouth to coerce Zhu Yuanzhang to submit obediently, obey their request, and arrange those children of the Confucius family who did not make any achievements and only wanted to pick the fruits of victory into important official positions , So as to continue the prosperity of this generation of their Kong family!
As for saying.
Do those so-called founding heroes have any opinions?
Does this kind of thing have anything to do with their Kong family?
Many heroes, in the final analysis, are nothing more than untouchable backgrounds. They killed a few people and made some contributions. It would be nice to be able to sit on an equal footing with their Kong family. What more preferential treatment do you want?
Obviously, in Kong Kejian's mind, he looked down on many of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty who came from a humble background, and even the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who came from a humble background, had the same attitude. This can be regarded as the arrogance of their Kong family.
Zhang Haoqiang quickly apologized and said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Kong is right, after we go back, we must teach the juniors at home well."
Among the many powerful landlords.
He could be considered one of the more conscientious ones.
However, if you want to help the people in exchange for fame, and if you are out of tune with everyone, then everyone will exclude you, and you will not be far from the decline of your family.
Among the powerful landlords.
It's like a big dye vat.
No matter what color you are at the beginning, as long as you enter this circle, the vast majority of people will gradually be dyed black, and only a very small number of people can maintain their original intentions. They will only be constantly suppressed and squeezed out, and eventually their family will fall in the middle of the road.
only--
What this Zhang Haoqiang didn't know was.
What he said was also heard clearly by the little mouse in the corner, and he kept it in his heart.
his conscience.
It can be regarded as a 'gold medal for avoiding death' in exchange.
At this time, those who are still willing to open a porridge shop to help the common people, no matter whether his main purpose is fame or not, Comrade Zhu can let him go mercifully.
of course.
The guys who speak out loud and act recklessly.
It's basically hopeless.
Another day, the house raid package will be arranged, the men will be sent to the frontier, and the women will become official prostitutes.
The silent landlords are lucky. As long as they are willing to obediently spend [-]% of their family property as money for their lives, Comrade Zhu can also let them go, so that they will not all be wiped out.
They all thought they were safe.
I don't know.
The current Jinyiwei intelligence system has already completed a major upgrade. The new Jinyiwei commander, Tongzhi Tuqi, took office and brought [-] younger brothers into battle.
Without anyone noticing, they got a clear picture of all the information about the powerful landlords in the Confucian Mansion.
Or don't do it, since you do.
Don't even try to escape Jin Yiwei's eyes!
"Without the old man's order, no one is allowed to take out a little food to help the people!"
"Even if you sell grain, you have to sell it at twenty times the usual price. I don't care about the highest price, but the lowest price can't be lower than this figure. Otherwise, you will be against our Kong family!"
"Give me a long-term view!"
"We are all well-known aristocratic families among the chief envoys of Shandong Province. Do we still need the popularity of the common people?"
"As far as we are concerned, the more people starve to death, the more anxious Zhu Yuanzhang will be. At that time, he will have to beg us for food and let us arrange it. If anyone ruins my plan, the old man will let him not Good fruit to eat!"
"All of you here are smart people, so you must be able to understand what the old man is saying?"
"."
Kong Ke insisted on not getting angry, and his heavy momentum made the others breathless.
As the head of the Zhang family of Taoism, and the head of the Kong family at the same level, not to mention anything else, this identity alone can crush most people to death.
Facing Kong Kejian's lecture.
The tyrannical Patriarchs of the venue also nodded in agreement.
Naturally, he wouldn't be so stubborn at this time, to go for a group of untouchables, causing his family to be hit by the thunder of the Kong family, not to mention that most of the landlords and tycoons have already abandoned their fame and fortune to achieve their current family business. What is for conscience is only for the benefit of one's own survival.
As long as it is something that is beneficial to their own family, even if it is to drink the blood and eat the flesh of the common people, they will do it without hesitation.
"Yes Yes Yes."
"What Master Kong said is true."
"Our Shandong chief envoy's aristocratic family naturally wants to advance and retreat together. If anyone ruins the plan, he will be an enemy of us all!"
"The food of our family, those untouchables are also worthy of eating? What a joke!"
"."
Everyone agrees.
Seeing that everyone had the same attitude, Kong Kejian's expression eased a little.
As long as everyone is willing to obey orders, then he believes that his strategy will definitely be able to coerce Zhu Yuanzhang to be obedient. Killed them all, right?
He didn't believe it, but Zhu Yuanzhang had the guts!
It is clear.
Kong Kejian's thinking is a bit naive.
Old Comrade Zhu is not a kind person. Now that Empress Ma and Prince Zhu Biao are still there, he can still listen to their persuasion, which can be regarded as a gentle version.
If you were to change to Empress Ma and Prince Zhu Biao being dead, would you still dare to come to the minefield to try disco?
Comrade Zhu copied your Nine Clans within minutes.
It doesn't matter who you are from the Confucian family or not, if you dare to dance, you will be slaughtered!
After this little episode ended, the atmosphere of everyone became happy again. Everyone tasted all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, enjoyed fine wine, imagined themselves and others, and controlled the wonderful life of the court of the Ming Empire. They seemed to be completely unaware that they This is the last carnival.
It didn't take long.
A servant of the Confucian family hurried in from the outside, and kept shouting: "Patriarch! Patriarch!"
Kong Kejian was dissatisfied, and said, "You're in such a hurry, how decent! Go and get ten whips yourself later!"
just now.
Almost half of the powerful landlords in Shandong have gathered here.
Whether it's Kong Kejian, the disciples of the Kong family, or even the servants of the Kong family, their every move represents the face of the Kong family, and they must maintain 'elegance' and must not lose face!
For Kong Kejian.
The reputation and face of the Kong family are even more important than his own life!
My old life can die, but I must not insult the reputation of my ancestors, nor let the glory of the Kong family be cut off from my own generation.
Otherwise.
Even if I got off the Jiuquan, I would have no face to meet my ancestors.
The flustered behavior of this servant of the Kong family was directly considered by Kong Kejian as an insult to the face of the Kong family, and he did not directly execute him, which was regarded as his kindness.
The servant of the Kong family who was punished suddenly shuddered, but he didn't dare to complain.
"Little man obeys."
"Well, tell me, what's the matter?"
"Report to Patriarch, the young master has returned from Yingtian City, but—"
"but what?"
"The young master seems to have been beaten up, his nose is bruised and his face is swollen, and there is no part of his body that is not black and blue."
This is also a normal thing.
Who made Kong Xixue's attitude too 'arrogant'?
What kind of green onions are they, the Kong family, dare to take advantage of this drought and food shortage to shake the foundation of the country, and threaten Comrade Zhu to give them preferential treatment and official positions. After solving the food problem, Comrade Zhu directly asked the prince Zhu Biao went to grab Kong Xixue's collar and his buttocks, and drove him back.
of course.
Kong Xixue was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
This really has nothing to do with the prince Zhu Biao. After all, Zhu Biao has a benevolent character and would not do such a thing of beating a sap.
but--
Little Zhu Di is not necessarily so.
My eldest brother is inconvenient to make a move due to his status, so he, the younger brother, will help with this.
Knocked Kong Xixue's accompanying servant unconscious, then put a sack on him and beat him violently, even kicked two times at the vital point, almost breaking his third leg. After the beating was relieved, little Zhu Di Just let him go.
"What! Didn't the old man send six servants to accompany him?!"
Kong Kejian was not calm immediately.
He can bear other things, but his eldest son's nose is bruised and his face is swollen, that is absolutely unbearable.
"Reporting to Patriarch, they all seem to have been beaten violently."
"Trash! What a rubbish! Even the master can't protect well, what use is this old man wanting them! Let them all go and get fifty lashes!"
"Patriarch, they are also seriously injured. If they receive another fifty lashes, I'm afraid—"
"Are you questioning the old man's decision?"
"Small dare not."
The servant of the Kong family who wanted to say something at first didn't dare to say anything.
He is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river - he cannot protect himself.
In the eyes of Kong Xixue.
These servants are no different from livestock. I can deal with them however I want. Even if all the servants are added up, they are not as important as my eldest son. These servants are just pawns that can be consumed at will.
They were not executed on the spot because of the relatively large number of people.
Give each of them fifty lashes.
He didn't care if they were hurt or not.
If you are beaten to death, you are guilty; if you cannot be beaten to death, you are not guilty of death.
"Where is Shixing (the character Kong Xi learned) people?"
"The young master is waiting outside the door."
"Tell him to come in quickly, and call a few doctors over to give him medicine."
"Little obedience."
Dare not have any negligence.
I was afraid that I would be punished if I moved slowly.
He didn't dare to hope that after he was injured, the Patriarch would specially invite a doctor to see him. Most likely, he would just let himself die on his own. Yes, throw the corpse into the wilderness.
The surrounding landlords and tyrants seemed to realize that the atmosphere at the moment was not right, so they kept silent.
after all.
I learned that my eldest son was beaten violently.
Kong Kejian exuded a dangerous aura, which made them dare not easily tease the tiger's whiskers.
He, Kong Kejian, swore that no matter who touches the eldest son of the Kong family, he will not be able to eat that person, and he must pay a bloody price!
"Ouch! What are you doing!"
"You bitch, who made you go so fast!"
"Hey, hey, it hurts to death!"
"."
Kung fu in a short while.
Kong Xixue, who was supported by a maid, limped in from the door.
His legs were tightly clamped, and it seemed that every time he moved, he had to endure unimaginable pain. After all, little Zhu Di had a secret attack, and he directly delivered two fatal blows, which made Kong Xixue unable to recover for five days.
Not only that.
Even his voice became sharper.
It sounds weird.
Seeing the embarrassment of his eldest son.
Kong Kejian quickly stood up from his seat, walked forward, and checked his eldest son's injuries: "Shixing, who beat you like this?"
When Kong Xixue saw his father, he almost burst into tears. His usual education allowed him to endure even the greatest grievances, but this time the fatal blow, he really couldn't help it, and cried: "Father , you have to call the shots for me!"
original.
He thought that this trip should be in Tiancheng.
It should be a good job, a sure thing.
Using the grain of their Kong family to alleviate the drought and food shortage, solved the problem for the Ming emperor, and their Kong family could also use this to extend their power into the court.
however.
The Emperor Daming didn't seem to appreciate it at all, and he was kicked out by someone directly.
Not only that, but on the way to leave, he was directly put on a sack and beaten up, and even suffered two fatal blows at one point. Kong Xixue suddenly felt that his little brother was devastated, as if he was completely broken.
"Don't worry, don't worry, speak slowly."
"The Emperor Ming didn't agree with our Kong family's suggestion at all, and even kicked me out!"
"What! He, Zhu Yuanzhang, is so courageous that he even dared to beat my son, Kong Kejian! He really took the courage of a bear and a leopard, but he is just a lucky pariah! Did he send someone to beat your injuries? ?”
"It's not, but when I was about to come back, I was conspired and beaten up."
"Hmph, ordinary people don't dare to provoke our Kong family at all. Zhu Yuanzhang must have secretly sent someone to do it."
Although little Zhu Di beat Kong Xixue violently.
Well done, leaving almost no clues or traces.
but.
Kong Kejian is an old fox.
Obviously, it's not so easy to be fooled. With a little calculation, you can guess the approximate murderer. It doesn't matter if there is no evidence, anyway, he just believes it in his heart.
It seems that this Zhu Yuanzhang is really toasting and not eating fine wine!
"Shixing, don't worry!"
"Since Zhu Yuanzhang is unwilling to cooperate, then our Kong family will naturally show him some color!"
"What's more, the decisive battle between Da Ming and Da Yuan has not yet been decided. It is still unknown whether Zhu Yuanzhang can have the last laugh."
"Since he doesn't want to use members of our Kong family, then don't blame the old man for using tricks on him!"
"."
Kong Kejian, the Patriarch of the Kong Family, had a dangerous aura in his eyes.
Originally, he was a vacillating fence-sitter.
However, Comrade Lao Zhu did not reach a cooperation with them, and if he did not allow the children of the Confucian family to enter the official career, it would be tantamount to cutting off the glory of their Confucian family generation. For Kong Kejian, this is definitely a mortal enmity!
Plus.
Now the main force of the Yuan Dynasty is still there.
I can still re-enter the embrace of the Yuan Dynasty and continue to be my own Yan Shenggong.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to use their Kong family, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty very much welcomed the contribution of their Kong family, and their Kong family had never done less stabbing in the back.
however--
What Kong Kejian didn't know was.
From the very beginning, Comrade Zhu never believed in the fence-sitting faction of the Kong family.
Moreover, he didn't have to think about how to stab the knife in the back anymore, because Comrade Zhu's combined punches would come soon, so that a guy like him who didn't know good and bad would know what the real power of an emperor is!
The Ming Empire, Yingtian City.
Fengtian Temple.
The problem of food shortage in the chief envoy of Shandong has lasted for five full days.
Because Comrade Zhu blocked the news of Yangzhou City, the civil and military officials in the court did not know that the second prince Zhu Zong had found a whole 2000 million stone rice, and they were kept in the dark. As for the prefect of Yangzhou, Yang Xian , although he is Liu Bowen's disciple, he also knows what can and cannot be said.
As a loyal official fan.
He knew that if he disobeyed His Majesty's order.
If you secretly reveal this news to your teacher Liu Bowen, you will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of Jin Yiwei. Your every move is under the watchful eyes of Jin Yiwei.
Although His Majesty will not kill himself because of this, or dismiss him directly, he will definitely give up reusing him.
For Yang Xian.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
Therefore, he is very strict with his mouth.
Fortunately, the population of Yangzhou City is not large, so it is not very difficult to manage, and it is easy to block the news.
On the other hand, Comrade Zhu also wanted to see how many members of the Kong family were in the court, so he just took this opportunity to find out all of them, so that he would have to deal with them one by one in the future, which would be too troublesome .
certainly--
Relief for the people of the chief envoy of Shandong Province.
Comrade Lao Zhu did not neglect either, Prince Zhu Biao took the initiative to ask Ying to escort the food to Shandong to stabilize the people's hearts.
Because he was worried about the safety of his eldest son, Comrade Zhu personally dispatched [-] Ming elite cavalry to accompany him, and even sent his nephew—Zhu Wenzheng!
That's right.
It was the one who was in the defense of Hongdu.
Sitting in an isolated city, with 60 soldiers, the famous general who resisted the crazy attack of Chen Youliang's 85 army for [-] days can be called a military miracle!
In the original history, as the nephew of Comrade Zhu, Zhu Wenzheng was dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's reward after the war. Under the instigation of his subordinates, he lost his temper and wanted to join Zhang Shicheng. The reward that was supposed to be there.
As a result, when Zhu Yuanzhang learned about it, he almost chopped him off. If it weren't for Queen Ma's persuasion, Zhu Wenzheng would have been killed directly.
Even so, Zhu Wenzheng was put under house arrest in the end, and finally died in depression.
The Ming Empire lost a top handsome talent.
And now-
Because of the addition of Juggernaut Changhong.
And in the capacity of the emperor's teacher, he persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to be rewarded and punished clearly. Even if he is his relative, there is no need to avoid suspicion, as long as he has made meritorious service, he will be rewarded!
After all, if anyone feels unconvinced, he can also try to bring 60 soldiers and horses to resist the crazy attack of the enemy's 85 troops for a full [-] days.
and so.
After Zhu Wenzheng returned from his meritorious service, Comrade Zhu did not hesitate to reward him.
Therefore, Zhu Wenzheng, a nephew, has never had a double heart so far. He enjoys the glory and wealth, and the rewards and punishments are clear. He chose to lose his temper when he was out of his mind.
And there is almost no difference in status from the famous founding generals of Ming Dynasty such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He.
just now.
Zhu Wenzheng's official position is——
The governor's mansion, the governor's acquaintance, the official position is from the first rank!
As an important minister of the Ming Empire, and even Comrade Zhu's nephew, his trust level has naturally increased, so the task of escorting Prince Zhu Biao was also placed on his shoulders.
Just when Comrade Zhu was in a daze.
An old civil servant below who seemed to be very old was also eloquently preaching.
"His Majesty!"
"Today's Shandong chief envoy is a hell on earth."
"Because of the drought and food shortage, the price of food is almost one price per day. The old minister heard that the price of food over there has reached [-] times the normal level, and it is even rising. This is to kill the people. Forced!"
"The people now, thanks to the grace of God, may still be able to bear it, but the number of people who starve to death continues to rise."
"It's hard to guarantee that people's hearts will not fluctuate, and a rebellious heart will be born."
"By the time--"
"Gangchang does not exist, Yizi eats each other, I encountered such disasters at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, please Your Majesty please blame God, and issue an edict of sin."
"."
This old civil servant in his seventies and eighties spoke one thing after another.
However, he was obviously not speaking on the emperor's side.
It’s true that the Shandong chief envoy suffered a drought, but there was a lot of food saved before, and there is absolutely no problem in making it through the disaster year. However, most of the food is concentrated in the hands of the powerful landlords. The ones who like to make money are those who are in trouble with the country, and they like to encounter this kind of disaster year, and then make a good fortune.
And this old civil servant, who is a gentry class, naturally would not point out their approach.
Choose to attribute all the faults to Zhu Yuanzhang.
in the past.
Whenever there is any major disaster.
Superstitious people often think that the emperor's virtue is not good enough, which angered God.
Just like Li Shimin, who seized the throne during the Xuanwumen Incident, a plague of locusts broke out not long after he took the throne, and the common people felt that his actions offended God.
of course.
This argument.
Comrade Zhu has always sneered.
What kind of shit god, in his eyes, only recognizes the national auspicious beast—the unicorn!
Zhu Yuanzhang tilted his head slightly, and asked the Sword Master Changhong standing beside him: "Sir, who recommended this person?"
The sword master Changhong, the commander of Jin Yiwei, held the famous sword in his hand, and said lightly: "Kong Yiji, Longfeng joined Daming in 12 years and was recommended by Li Shanchang. Well, they are their disciples."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said, "No, the lackeys of the Kong family can't help but want to jump out so quickly. Let's see how powerful the Kong family's influence is in the court today."
As soon as I heard that the other party was a disciple of the Kong family.
Comrade Zhu's impression of this person immediately reached its lowest point.
no way.
For the Kong family who sit on the fence.
Comrade Zhu really didn't have any good feelings. Naturally, he didn't have any good feelings for people related to the Kong family.
The conversation between the two was not very loud, so the people below couldn't hear it clearly. The old civil servant Kong Yiji was still talking about it. The official career of the disciples of the Confucius family must be prepared accordingly.
Seeing that His Majesty did not react much.
Kong Yiji took a deep breath and cheered himself up.
Subsequently.
Take a step forward.
"His Majesty!"
"The hardships of the people today, the old minister is heartbroken like a knife!"
"The old minister heard that Kong Xixue, the eldest son of Kong, came to Yingtian City a few days ago, and was willing to help His Majesty solve problems, let the children of the Kong family go out to serve, and provide food to solve the drought and food shortage of the Shandong Chief Envoy. This can be described as double happiness! "
"The Confucius family is the descendant of the sage Confucius."
"The children of the Kong family are all talented and well-educated. It is very appropriate for them to become officials and benefit the common people."
"As long as His Majesty can nod and agree, not only can a large number of talents be harvested, but also the problem of food shortage in Shandong can be solved, and the people will also thank His Majesty for his kindness. Please don't hesitate, Your Majesty. Every day of delay, there will be thousands of people. Tens of thousands of people starved to death on the streets."
"."
As a disciple of the Confucian family.
Kong Yiji is pressing every step of the way now.
He also heard about the terms of the transaction between His Majesty and the Kong family from Kong Xixue.
only.
His Majesty has never made a decision.
This matter has been stranded.
And he, Kong Yiji, has been greatly favored by the Kong family, and it is time to stand up and repay them. He directly spread this matter on the bright side, and even boasted about the children of the Kong family more than anything else. It was the Wenqu star from the sky who came down to earth.
He even described the Confucius family's attempt to take this opportunity to coerce Zhu Yuanzhang as a matter of double happiness.
This kind of black-and-white tongue is really amazing.
Leaving aside the children of the Confucian family, the vast majority are those who can only moan without illness and have no internal affairs talents, and only a very small number of them are available.
Just talk about the way Kong Xi learned, if someone else talked to Comrade Zhu like this, his head would have moved on the spot.
Coercing the emperor?
Isn't this a proper way to court death?
Of course, relying on their own high reputation, the Kong family thought they had grasped Comrade Zhu’s lifeblood—lack of food. In order to appease the hearts of the people in Shandong’s chief envoy, they would definitely compromise with them in the end, and then obediently They arranged some trustworthy 'young heroes' among the children of the Kong family and the powerful landlords to important positions.
"Your Majesty, this minister agrees!"
"What Kong Yiji said is reasonable, and I think I can accept it."
"The Confucian family's heart to serve the country with fists and fists really makes people cry. It is indeed a model for the world!"
"."
Immediately.
above the hall.
Those who agree with Kong Yiji's statement can be said to be louder and louder, and one-third of the civil servants directly ran out.
The atmosphere seemed extremely lively, they were all people who stood by the Kong family's forces.
In contrast, there was no movement from the military commander.
After all, in the eyes of the Kong family, those generals are just warriors with little culture, and many of them are reckless and untouchables. They are not worth mentioning at all, and naturally they will not make more friends.
This scene.
But Comrade Zhu laughed angrily.
They all feel that they have grasped their own vitals, and they want to come to force the palace?
The hands of the Confucian family are too long. They have not yet arranged for the children of the Confucian family, and their disciples and students occupy one-third of the area. If they let the children of the Confucian family come in Well, I'm afraid the whole court will be up to them to decide, right?
and.
It’s different in the past.
Comrade Zhu, who owns a full 2000 million stones of food and grass, can be said to have no worries at all, and directly plans to beat the Kong family to death!
With a playful look in his eyes, Comrade Lao Zhu glanced at the civil officials below who stood up to speak for the Kong family.
Presumably, Mr. has basically memorized their names.
At that time, none of them will even try to escape!
"Snapped--"
"Snapped--"
"Snapped--"
Comrade Zhu continued to applaud.
Watching the performances of these jumping beam clowns is really laughable.
In order to match their performance, it is really not easy to suppress the smile in my heart and not laugh out loud on the spot.
"My dear dears, you are right."
"We have a deep understanding of the Confucian family's dedication to serving the country."
"At the beginning, the emperor of the Song Dynasty showed favor to the Kong family, but it was not at all lacking. They have all the glory and wealth that they should have."
"However, when the Yuan Dynasty came to fight, they were also the first to surrender and lead the way."
"This patriotic heart really moved us, so we decided to include this 'patriotic deed' of the Kong family into the compulsory questions of the imperial examination from today onwards. Scholars all over the world take a good look at the glorious deeds of the Confucian family, this is the ancestral system, and future generations cannot change it!"
"."
As soon as Comrade Zhu said this.
On the entire court, it was as if a thunderbolt had been dropped, blowing up everyone.
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, as if wondering if there was something wrong with their ears.
Subsequently.
Everyone showed completely different attitudes.
Among the generals camp, it is natural to applaud. For those Kong family who think they are noble all day long and discriminate against them as martial arts, they are naturally very uncomfortable. If it is not because of their high reputation, the Kong family would have Start beating people.
Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, and almost two-thirds of the civil servants in the neutral camp were a little shocked by His Majesty's thunderous tactics, which were to offend the Kong family to death.
As for the disciples and students of the Confucian family who stood on the side of the Confucian family, almost one-third of the civil servants were full of disbelief.
They couldn't believe it at all.
His Majesty would actually make such a harsh decision.
Once this policy is implemented, the Kong family will be infamous for thousands of years!
and.
Is His Majesty crazy?
Didn't he know that once he did this, he wouldn't even want to get a grain of grain from the Kong family and the powerful landlords in Shandong!
Kong Yiji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! No, Your Majesty!"
Old Comrade Zhu said with a half-smile, "Oh? Tell me, what's wrong with it? Did we fabricate what the Kong family did? Tell us a reason, or else, we'll punish you." A crime of bullying the king."
Kong Yiji was stunned for a moment: "This, this."
to be frank.
About this point.
He really had no way to refute it.
Because His Majesty is indeed right. Some things that the Kong family did are true, but everyone will selectively forget them.
But now, His Majesty directly tore off the last fig leaf of the Kong family.
He didn't dare to say anything nonsense, because the reputation of deceiving the king was not something he could afford.
Old Comrade Zhu slowly put away the smile on his face, showing the ruthlessness of the king. He looked coldly at the faltering Kong Yiji in front of him, and the third of the civil servants who chose to stand with the Kong family. If they want to side with the Kong family, they should sink down with the Kong family.
Just right.
Among the Taoist Zhang family.
There are also many young men of the younger generation.
Originally, Comrade Zhu was still worried about how to arrange official positions for some people with outstanding abilities.
Now that some of the members of the Kong family can be directly cleaned up, it will just vacate the seat for the young heroes of the Zhang family to sit, and it can be regarded as a face for the celestial master Zhang Normal, after all, he is the first person to respond to him.
something.
It can only be given to you by Comrade Zhu, and you can't take the initiative to grab it!
"correct."
"The Spring and Autumn Sacrifice in the Confucian Temple is too large and extravagant."
"Nowadays, people in the world are living in a difficult life. We think it is inappropriate to do this. In the future, except for Qufu, where the Confucius family is located, other places will not be allowed to offer sacrifices to Confucius temples."
"."
Comrade Zhu then added.
This is Liu Bowen's suggestion.
Adding the "brilliant deeds" of the Kong family to the imperial examination questions is a hard knife.
Large-scale prohibition of spring and autumn sacrifices in Confucian temples is a soft knife.
One hard and one soft.
It is only when the meat is cut neatly.
Let people die under these two knives without knowing it.
Hearing His Majesty's second-hand move, Kong Yiji couldn't sit still anymore. This was to beat the Kong family who had been kind to him to death. If he remained silent at this time, he would definitely Spoiled by others for a lifetime.
Forced by Comrade Zhu's majesty, Kong Yiji bit the bullet and reluctantly said:
"Your Majesty, the Spring and Autumn Sacrifice in the Confucian Temple is an ancestral system that has existed since ancient times. If it is forbidden rashly, the old minister feels that"
Comrade Zhu raised a hand and interrupted his words:
"We don't want you to think, we want us to think, if we don't think it's okay, we can't do it, and if we have a problem, let us hold it in our hearts. The ugly words are up front. Anyone who dares to secretly perform the Spring and Autumn Festival sacrifices in the Confucius Temple outside Qufu will be punished." If Jin Yiwei catches it, we won't be polite to you."
this matter.
He was determined to do it.
It is useless for anyone to dissuade it, it is just a waste of effort.
Since the Kong family decided to use the drought and food shortage to coerce Comrade Zhu into submitting, they must be prepared to be backlashed!
after all.
None of the founding emperors was a good stubble.
I can be so good-tempered that I can be threatened by you at will, and I can also laugh it off.
In some respects, Comrade Zhu is very narrow-minded, and will retaliate against you mercilessly!
"besides--"
"We feel that the children of the Confucian family should inherit the essence of the Confucian saint Confucius."
"On weekdays, teaching and educating people is enough."
"As for saying that an official is an official, let's forget it. After all, Confucius didn't do a good job as an official. How could he come up with the way of being an official? Taking it a step further, how can he come up with the way of governing the country? The Analects of Confucius Those words are nothing but the discussion of teachers and students, and they cannot be taken seriously."
"."
Zhu Yuanzhang once again threw out a big killer.
Forbid the children of the Confucian family to become officials!
As such.
Without the influence of the officialdom, no matter how famous the Kong family is, sometimes they can only be ravaged by others, and many things are inconvenient.
Comrade Zhu believes that there is no "way of governing the country" in "The Analects of Confucius".
And that's just rhetoric.
If there is no such thing, why do so many dynasties respect Confucianism, and only Zhu Yuanzhang has true insight?
Confucianism emphasizes "rule by virtue", and some of Zhu Yuanzhang's practices are very rude, mainly because he disdains this "virtue".
The Ming Dynasty had several innovations.
For example, Jin Yiwei, the emperor relied on "small reports" to manage the country.
It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang is quite disdainful of "morality" in his heart. He is a commoner, and all he wants is the stability of his own power. Everything else can be compromised. How much is face worth?He felt that even the hypocrisy of face was in the way, so Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the Confucianism did not match what he wanted at all.
However, people all over the world still respect Confucianism, what should we do?
I can only try my best to suppress it.
In fact, some people will use "governance" and "orthodoxy" to analyze Zhu Yuanzhang's actions.
Since the Qin Dynasty, "ruling" has been playing a huge role.
However, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there has been an additional modification, which is to elevate the status of Confucianism, and this is only to make the thoughts of the people of the world tend to be consistent, and the purpose is naturally to consolidate the political power.
Can Zhu Yuanzhang not understand this?
He is very clear.
However, if he continues to be the same as his predecessors.
Well, many of his practices will be criticized.
Therefore, in order to remove these obstacles, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally had to start with ideology, which is why he suppressed Confucianism in this way.
Zhu Yuanzhang is no different from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to make the whole country have a voice, while Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to make some behaviors that violated Confucianism fair and just.
It can be seen that the actions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang led to the same goal by different routes, both to consolidate their rule.
Because of their different goals, the methods they adopted happened to be two extremes.
In short, everything the emperor's family does is centered around maintaining their own power. Zhu Yuanzhang, in addition to not being used to the arrogant and domineering attitude of the Confucian family, also feels that many things of Confucianism are an eyesore. How can he "do whatever he wants"?
"No way!"
"Not at all, Your Majesty!"
"The Kong family is the top writer in the world, and the children of the Kong family are full of talents. If your majesty abandons it, it will definitely be a huge loss for me, Ming!"
"The old minister begs His Majesty to take back the order, otherwise, the old minister asks to return to his hometown for retirement!"
"."
Kong Yiji quickly knelt down.
Take the ground with your head.
He hit his forehead until his head was bleeding, and at the same time complained with grief and indignation.
The first two things are still within the barely bearable range, but this one is absolutely unbearable.
No official power.
Then.
The power of the Kong family will definitely plummet with the passage of time!
Fame alone is not enough, sometimes the power in your hands is even more intoxicating.
His Majesty's move is to completely dig out the roots of the Kong family, so that they will not be able to become officials. Over time, the Kong family without any officials will definitely decline step by step, and the glory of the thousand-year-old family will gradually dissipate.
Not only Kong Yiji, but the remaining disciples and students of the Kong family also imitated his methods, and they have a good appearance.
There is only one meaning they want to express!
If His Majesty is unwilling to withdraw his order, they will have no choice but to resign.
You know, the people here account for a full third of the civil servants in the court. If all of them leave, there will definitely be problems with the operation of the country, so they are also betting that His Majesty will not Will fight against so many of them!
however--
They lost their bet.
Not only did Comrade Zhu not panic, but he still looked pleasantly surprised. Is there such a good thing? !
Comrade Zhu was afraid that they would go back on their word, so he immediately said: "It's a deal!"
Originally, he had to think of a reason, how to reasonably persuade the Kong family members to leave, so as to save them from embarrassing him in the court all day long.
result.
I haven't thought of a reason yet.
They all took the initiative to give them away, and they all petitioned to return to their hometowns for the elderly. This is the real double happiness!
"???"
"???"
"???"
Now, it was the turn of the disciples and students of the Kong family to be dumbfounded.
They were just talking casually, and wanted to use this to force His Majesty to take back his order. They were not really willing to let go of the power in their hands and go back to be a commoner!
result.
His Majesty doesn't care about them at all.
I don't like their way of forcing the palace either.
Just pack them up and take them all away, go home and make room for others to sit.
Comrade Lao Zhu added: "Since all your loved ones want to return to their hometowns for the elderly, we can't force you to stay. Of course, we are not unreasonable emperors. Everyone receives three months' salary and packs good things for three months. Let's leave the capital in the next day."
do not!
Your Majesty, you can't be tough and take the initiative to let us stay!
As long as you open your mouth and step down, we guarantee that you will agree to come down without any complaints!
They still want to be officials.
As for saying.
Three months' salary?
The salary in the Ming Dynasty was notoriously low. This amount of money was like sending off beggars. They didn't care about this trivial salary at all. The official position was the most important thing!
However, Comrade Zhu simply pretended not to see the Confucian disciples and students who were staring at him eagerly.
What a joke.
Such a rare opportunity to pack them all up and carry them away.
Unless his brain is cramped, who else will suddenly change his mind and let them stay.
This matter is settled like this.
Kong Yiji's lips turned white, and his tone of voice was trembling: "Cocoa is food."
this matter.
He was the one who brought it up.
Therefore, once His Majesty agrees, they really have no choice but to go home for the elderly.
This resentment, everyone must not dare to vent it on His Majesty, and the person who will become a scapegoat at that time will definitely be yourself!
Even if he doesn't die, he will definitely be ruined and will be excluded and suppressed by everyone!
In order to save himself in the end, Kong Yiji had to resort to the last resort - food. I hope His Majesty can change his mind and stop going his own way. This time it is no longer for the Kong family, but for himself.
I don't know.
Since Comrade Zhu has done things so absolutely.
Then don't worry about the lack of food at all, he already has a solution.
"There is no need for you to worry about this. Who gave you the illusion that our Ming Empire has no food?"
"what?"
"We have already allocated 2000 million shi rice to aid the Chief Envoy of Shandong. Tianshi Zhang Normal is also willing to gather the strength of the Zhang family to donate a month's rations for the people of Shandong. In a few days, we should be able to escort them there. At that time, the problem of food shortage will naturally be solved.”
Comrade Zhu said calmly.
There is still a way to deal with the Kong family.
Under the command of Jin Yiwei, Tongzhi Tuqi, infiltrated and detected all kinds of information, and almost checked all the evil things of the landlords and powerful landlords in the Shandong Chief Commissioner, even the Kong family was no exception.
The bigger the family.
The darkness hidden behind is even more shocking.
Comrade Zhu did not read this information, but passed it directly to his eldest son Zhu Biao, and let him make a decision.
As the future heir of the Ming Empire, he also needs to grow accordingly.
this time.
It's a great training opportunity.
"what?!"
Kong Yiji was dumbfounded.
The Ming Empire is now poor and empty, and almost all its food is used for war.
When did they have so much food, they had never heard of it!
Immediately.
It was as if all the strength had been taken from him.
Kong Yiji sat down on the ground directly, his whole face was pale, he could clearly feel the resentful gazes of his colleagues around him, he knew - he was finished!
However, Comrade Zhu would not sympathize with him.
This time, the imperial court meeting announced the final end when the Kong family's forces were completely wiped out.
ten days later.
The Great Ming Empire, the chief envoy of Shandong Province.
Qufu City, twenty miles to the west.
Escorted by [-] Ming elite cavalry, Zhu Wenzheng is the chief general, and the grain transport convoy headed by Prince Zhu Biao is moving forward quickly.
In addition, 2000 people were confiscated as corvees, and a total of [-] million shi of grain was continuously escorted in batches along the way, and it was continuously transported to Shandong. The long grain transport team could not see the end at a glance.
"Da da da--"
The sound of three thousand cavalry galloping was particularly obvious.
Prince Zhu Biao, who is nearly 13 years old, has shown a maturity that is not inferior to his peers.
Regarding the mission assigned to him by the emperor this time.
He also kept it in mind, and planned to dispose of it perfectly, so that he could live up to his father's expectations!
not to mention.
In the eyes of Prince Zhu Biao.
In order to continue the national destiny of the Ming Empire and not be severely damaged by the Little Ice Age, it is necessary to find Lord Qilin and gather the seven Qi Protectors. This premise is likely to defeat many powerful forces!
The future enemy of the Ming Empire is not clowns like the Kong family, but the whole world!
Therefore, he didn't want the Ming Empire and the Kong family to waste too much time and energy here, thereby delaying the pace of conquering the world.
"Cousin, don't worry."
"If there is any problem, just ask my cousin to solve it."
"If the Kong family wants to trip you up, I'll give him two bang bang punches."
"."
Now 32 years old, Zhu Wenzheng, the nephew of Zhu Yuanzhang, patted his cousin who was 19 years younger than him on the shoulder, quite like a big brother.
Although he is a relative of Comrade Zhu, he is not of direct blood.
Therefore, it is impossible to inherit the blood of Qilin.
To be able to have today's achievements, all rely on their own hard work and talent.
After a teaching from the sword master Changhong, some of his stink problems have been improved a lot, and he continues to move towards the perfect handsome.
For the heir of the future empire, his cousin Zhu Biao who also showed extraordinary talent, Zhu Wenzheng naturally admired and admired him very much. After a hundred years, after His Majesty passed away, Daming would not have no successors.
Prince Zhu Biao said: "Cousin, we came here with the aim of completely defeating the Kong family in terms of reputation. Generally speaking, there is no need to use force."
Zhu Wenzheng said with a hearty smile: "Hahaha, I know, I know, everything is dominated by you, and I'm just in charge of doing things."
All their own family.
It is naturally much easier to speak.
Of course, Zhu Wenzheng also has a sense of proportion. After all, his cousin is the heir apparent, the future heir of the empire, and with His Majesty's instructions, he must not be able to overwhelm the host.
While the two were talking.
Prince Zhu Biao, who was riding on the horse, suddenly felt the sun pattern on his forehead burn.
The closer you get here, the more obvious this feeling becomes.
There is only one possibility for this feeling of resonance.
Nearby, there is an undiscovered unicorn secret treasure, and the feeling is extremely strong. It seems that only people with a unicorn blood concentration of more than [-]% can sense its specific location!
Zhu Biao raised his head suddenly, looked in a certain direction, and then murmured to his cousin Zhu Wenzheng:
"Cousin, I seem to have sensed—"
(End of this chapter)
"By the way, Mr. Kong."
"The younger generation in our family, it seems that some people proposed to open a porridge shop."
"In this way, we can also take the opportunity to gain a reputation among the common people. After all, if too many people really starve to death, it would not be too good. Our foundation is still in Shandong Chief Envoy."
"Do you think—"
A man surnamed Zhang Haoqiang said in a discussing tone.
However, he only spoke half of what he said before he was glared at by the white-browed Kong Kejian, and abruptly swallowed the remaining half of his words.
Teacup in hand.
It was also placed heavily on the wooden table, making a dull sound.
This Zhang Haoqiang couldn't help but tremble. He also knew that what he said earlier seemed to have angered Mr. Kong a bit. In front of ordinary people, he was a powerful and powerful man, but in front of the Kong family, he was still just A small shrimp may be crushed to death at any time.
Kong Kejian scolded: "Nonsense! Do you think this is playing tricks! This is a moment related to the continuation and prosperity of our family!"
What a joke.
Does the life and death of those untouchables have anything to do with them?
Anyway, there are nearly 400 million people in Shandong's chief envoy, and Kong Kejian would not feel any pity if tens of thousands of people died at random. These untouchables would be considered worthy of death if they could pave the way for the children of the Kong family.
The tenants and servants of the family must have the most basic rations, no matter how dead they are, they will not be lost to their Kong family.
just now.
Taking advantage of the drought and food shortage.
Countless people are on the brink of starvation and rebellion.
The Confucius family was able to take this opportunity, and the lion opened its mouth to coerce Zhu Yuanzhang to submit obediently, obey their request, and arrange those children of the Confucius family who did not make any achievements and only wanted to pick the fruits of victory into important official positions , So as to continue the prosperity of this generation of their Kong family!
As for saying.
Do those so-called founding heroes have any opinions?
Does this kind of thing have anything to do with their Kong family?
Many heroes, in the final analysis, are nothing more than untouchable backgrounds. They killed a few people and made some contributions. It would be nice to be able to sit on an equal footing with their Kong family. What more preferential treatment do you want?
Obviously, in Kong Kejian's mind, he looked down on many of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty who came from a humble background, and even the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who came from a humble background, had the same attitude. This can be regarded as the arrogance of their Kong family.
Zhang Haoqiang quickly apologized and said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Kong is right, after we go back, we must teach the juniors at home well."
Among the many powerful landlords.
He could be considered one of the more conscientious ones.
However, if you want to help the people in exchange for fame, and if you are out of tune with everyone, then everyone will exclude you, and you will not be far from the decline of your family.
Among the powerful landlords.
It's like a big dye vat.
No matter what color you are at the beginning, as long as you enter this circle, the vast majority of people will gradually be dyed black, and only a very small number of people can maintain their original intentions. They will only be constantly suppressed and squeezed out, and eventually their family will fall in the middle of the road.
only--
What this Zhang Haoqiang didn't know was.
What he said was also heard clearly by the little mouse in the corner, and he kept it in his heart.
his conscience.
It can be regarded as a 'gold medal for avoiding death' in exchange.
At this time, those who are still willing to open a porridge shop to help the common people, no matter whether his main purpose is fame or not, Comrade Zhu can let him go mercifully.
of course.
The guys who speak out loud and act recklessly.
It's basically hopeless.
Another day, the house raid package will be arranged, the men will be sent to the frontier, and the women will become official prostitutes.
The silent landlords are lucky. As long as they are willing to obediently spend [-]% of their family property as money for their lives, Comrade Zhu can also let them go, so that they will not all be wiped out.
They all thought they were safe.
I don't know.
The current Jinyiwei intelligence system has already completed a major upgrade. The new Jinyiwei commander, Tongzhi Tuqi, took office and brought [-] younger brothers into battle.
Without anyone noticing, they got a clear picture of all the information about the powerful landlords in the Confucian Mansion.
Or don't do it, since you do.
Don't even try to escape Jin Yiwei's eyes!
"Without the old man's order, no one is allowed to take out a little food to help the people!"
"Even if you sell grain, you have to sell it at twenty times the usual price. I don't care about the highest price, but the lowest price can't be lower than this figure. Otherwise, you will be against our Kong family!"
"Give me a long-term view!"
"We are all well-known aristocratic families among the chief envoys of Shandong Province. Do we still need the popularity of the common people?"
"As far as we are concerned, the more people starve to death, the more anxious Zhu Yuanzhang will be. At that time, he will have to beg us for food and let us arrange it. If anyone ruins my plan, the old man will let him not Good fruit to eat!"
"All of you here are smart people, so you must be able to understand what the old man is saying?"
"."
Kong Ke insisted on not getting angry, and his heavy momentum made the others breathless.
As the head of the Zhang family of Taoism, and the head of the Kong family at the same level, not to mention anything else, this identity alone can crush most people to death.
Facing Kong Kejian's lecture.
The tyrannical Patriarchs of the venue also nodded in agreement.
Naturally, he wouldn't be so stubborn at this time, to go for a group of untouchables, causing his family to be hit by the thunder of the Kong family, not to mention that most of the landlords and tycoons have already abandoned their fame and fortune to achieve their current family business. What is for conscience is only for the benefit of one's own survival.
As long as it is something that is beneficial to their own family, even if it is to drink the blood and eat the flesh of the common people, they will do it without hesitation.
"Yes Yes Yes."
"What Master Kong said is true."
"Our Shandong chief envoy's aristocratic family naturally wants to advance and retreat together. If anyone ruins the plan, he will be an enemy of us all!"
"The food of our family, those untouchables are also worthy of eating? What a joke!"
"."
Everyone agrees.
Seeing that everyone had the same attitude, Kong Kejian's expression eased a little.
As long as everyone is willing to obey orders, then he believes that his strategy will definitely be able to coerce Zhu Yuanzhang to be obedient. Killed them all, right?
He didn't believe it, but Zhu Yuanzhang had the guts!
It is clear.
Kong Kejian's thinking is a bit naive.
Old Comrade Zhu is not a kind person. Now that Empress Ma and Prince Zhu Biao are still there, he can still listen to their persuasion, which can be regarded as a gentle version.
If you were to change to Empress Ma and Prince Zhu Biao being dead, would you still dare to come to the minefield to try disco?
Comrade Zhu copied your Nine Clans within minutes.
It doesn't matter who you are from the Confucian family or not, if you dare to dance, you will be slaughtered!
After this little episode ended, the atmosphere of everyone became happy again. Everyone tasted all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, enjoyed fine wine, imagined themselves and others, and controlled the wonderful life of the court of the Ming Empire. They seemed to be completely unaware that they This is the last carnival.
It didn't take long.
A servant of the Confucian family hurried in from the outside, and kept shouting: "Patriarch! Patriarch!"
Kong Kejian was dissatisfied, and said, "You're in such a hurry, how decent! Go and get ten whips yourself later!"
just now.
Almost half of the powerful landlords in Shandong have gathered here.
Whether it's Kong Kejian, the disciples of the Kong family, or even the servants of the Kong family, their every move represents the face of the Kong family, and they must maintain 'elegance' and must not lose face!
For Kong Kejian.
The reputation and face of the Kong family are even more important than his own life!
My old life can die, but I must not insult the reputation of my ancestors, nor let the glory of the Kong family be cut off from my own generation.
Otherwise.
Even if I got off the Jiuquan, I would have no face to meet my ancestors.
The flustered behavior of this servant of the Kong family was directly considered by Kong Kejian as an insult to the face of the Kong family, and he did not directly execute him, which was regarded as his kindness.
The servant of the Kong family who was punished suddenly shuddered, but he didn't dare to complain.
"Little man obeys."
"Well, tell me, what's the matter?"
"Report to Patriarch, the young master has returned from Yingtian City, but—"
"but what?"
"The young master seems to have been beaten up, his nose is bruised and his face is swollen, and there is no part of his body that is not black and blue."
This is also a normal thing.
Who made Kong Xixue's attitude too 'arrogant'?
What kind of green onions are they, the Kong family, dare to take advantage of this drought and food shortage to shake the foundation of the country, and threaten Comrade Zhu to give them preferential treatment and official positions. After solving the food problem, Comrade Zhu directly asked the prince Zhu Biao went to grab Kong Xixue's collar and his buttocks, and drove him back.
of course.
Kong Xixue was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
This really has nothing to do with the prince Zhu Biao. After all, Zhu Biao has a benevolent character and would not do such a thing of beating a sap.
but--
Little Zhu Di is not necessarily so.
My eldest brother is inconvenient to make a move due to his status, so he, the younger brother, will help with this.
Knocked Kong Xixue's accompanying servant unconscious, then put a sack on him and beat him violently, even kicked two times at the vital point, almost breaking his third leg. After the beating was relieved, little Zhu Di Just let him go.
"What! Didn't the old man send six servants to accompany him?!"
Kong Kejian was not calm immediately.
He can bear other things, but his eldest son's nose is bruised and his face is swollen, that is absolutely unbearable.
"Reporting to Patriarch, they all seem to have been beaten violently."
"Trash! What a rubbish! Even the master can't protect well, what use is this old man wanting them! Let them all go and get fifty lashes!"
"Patriarch, they are also seriously injured. If they receive another fifty lashes, I'm afraid—"
"Are you questioning the old man's decision?"
"Small dare not."
The servant of the Kong family who wanted to say something at first didn't dare to say anything.
He is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river - he cannot protect himself.
In the eyes of Kong Xixue.
These servants are no different from livestock. I can deal with them however I want. Even if all the servants are added up, they are not as important as my eldest son. These servants are just pawns that can be consumed at will.
They were not executed on the spot because of the relatively large number of people.
Give each of them fifty lashes.
He didn't care if they were hurt or not.
If you are beaten to death, you are guilty; if you cannot be beaten to death, you are not guilty of death.
"Where is Shixing (the character Kong Xi learned) people?"
"The young master is waiting outside the door."
"Tell him to come in quickly, and call a few doctors over to give him medicine."
"Little obedience."
Dare not have any negligence.
I was afraid that I would be punished if I moved slowly.
He didn't dare to hope that after he was injured, the Patriarch would specially invite a doctor to see him. Most likely, he would just let himself die on his own. Yes, throw the corpse into the wilderness.
The surrounding landlords and tyrants seemed to realize that the atmosphere at the moment was not right, so they kept silent.
after all.
I learned that my eldest son was beaten violently.
Kong Kejian exuded a dangerous aura, which made them dare not easily tease the tiger's whiskers.
He, Kong Kejian, swore that no matter who touches the eldest son of the Kong family, he will not be able to eat that person, and he must pay a bloody price!
"Ouch! What are you doing!"
"You bitch, who made you go so fast!"
"Hey, hey, it hurts to death!"
"."
Kung fu in a short while.
Kong Xixue, who was supported by a maid, limped in from the door.
His legs were tightly clamped, and it seemed that every time he moved, he had to endure unimaginable pain. After all, little Zhu Di had a secret attack, and he directly delivered two fatal blows, which made Kong Xixue unable to recover for five days.
Not only that.
Even his voice became sharper.
It sounds weird.
Seeing the embarrassment of his eldest son.
Kong Kejian quickly stood up from his seat, walked forward, and checked his eldest son's injuries: "Shixing, who beat you like this?"
When Kong Xixue saw his father, he almost burst into tears. His usual education allowed him to endure even the greatest grievances, but this time the fatal blow, he really couldn't help it, and cried: "Father , you have to call the shots for me!"
original.
He thought that this trip should be in Tiancheng.
It should be a good job, a sure thing.
Using the grain of their Kong family to alleviate the drought and food shortage, solved the problem for the Ming emperor, and their Kong family could also use this to extend their power into the court.
however.
The Emperor Daming didn't seem to appreciate it at all, and he was kicked out by someone directly.
Not only that, but on the way to leave, he was directly put on a sack and beaten up, and even suffered two fatal blows at one point. Kong Xixue suddenly felt that his little brother was devastated, as if he was completely broken.
"Don't worry, don't worry, speak slowly."
"The Emperor Ming didn't agree with our Kong family's suggestion at all, and even kicked me out!"
"What! He, Zhu Yuanzhang, is so courageous that he even dared to beat my son, Kong Kejian! He really took the courage of a bear and a leopard, but he is just a lucky pariah! Did he send someone to beat your injuries? ?”
"It's not, but when I was about to come back, I was conspired and beaten up."
"Hmph, ordinary people don't dare to provoke our Kong family at all. Zhu Yuanzhang must have secretly sent someone to do it."
Although little Zhu Di beat Kong Xixue violently.
Well done, leaving almost no clues or traces.
but.
Kong Kejian is an old fox.
Obviously, it's not so easy to be fooled. With a little calculation, you can guess the approximate murderer. It doesn't matter if there is no evidence, anyway, he just believes it in his heart.
It seems that this Zhu Yuanzhang is really toasting and not eating fine wine!
"Shixing, don't worry!"
"Since Zhu Yuanzhang is unwilling to cooperate, then our Kong family will naturally show him some color!"
"What's more, the decisive battle between Da Ming and Da Yuan has not yet been decided. It is still unknown whether Zhu Yuanzhang can have the last laugh."
"Since he doesn't want to use members of our Kong family, then don't blame the old man for using tricks on him!"
"."
Kong Kejian, the Patriarch of the Kong Family, had a dangerous aura in his eyes.
Originally, he was a vacillating fence-sitter.
However, Comrade Lao Zhu did not reach a cooperation with them, and if he did not allow the children of the Confucian family to enter the official career, it would be tantamount to cutting off the glory of their Confucian family generation. For Kong Kejian, this is definitely a mortal enmity!
Plus.
Now the main force of the Yuan Dynasty is still there.
I can still re-enter the embrace of the Yuan Dynasty and continue to be my own Yan Shenggong.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to use their Kong family, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty very much welcomed the contribution of their Kong family, and their Kong family had never done less stabbing in the back.
however--
What Kong Kejian didn't know was.
From the very beginning, Comrade Zhu never believed in the fence-sitting faction of the Kong family.
Moreover, he didn't have to think about how to stab the knife in the back anymore, because Comrade Zhu's combined punches would come soon, so that a guy like him who didn't know good and bad would know what the real power of an emperor is!
The Ming Empire, Yingtian City.
Fengtian Temple.
The problem of food shortage in the chief envoy of Shandong has lasted for five full days.
Because Comrade Zhu blocked the news of Yangzhou City, the civil and military officials in the court did not know that the second prince Zhu Zong had found a whole 2000 million stone rice, and they were kept in the dark. As for the prefect of Yangzhou, Yang Xian , although he is Liu Bowen's disciple, he also knows what can and cannot be said.
As a loyal official fan.
He knew that if he disobeyed His Majesty's order.
If you secretly reveal this news to your teacher Liu Bowen, you will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of Jin Yiwei. Your every move is under the watchful eyes of Jin Yiwei.
Although His Majesty will not kill himself because of this, or dismiss him directly, he will definitely give up reusing him.
For Yang Xian.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
Therefore, he is very strict with his mouth.
Fortunately, the population of Yangzhou City is not large, so it is not very difficult to manage, and it is easy to block the news.
On the other hand, Comrade Zhu also wanted to see how many members of the Kong family were in the court, so he just took this opportunity to find out all of them, so that he would have to deal with them one by one in the future, which would be too troublesome .
certainly--
Relief for the people of the chief envoy of Shandong Province.
Comrade Lao Zhu did not neglect either, Prince Zhu Biao took the initiative to ask Ying to escort the food to Shandong to stabilize the people's hearts.
Because he was worried about the safety of his eldest son, Comrade Zhu personally dispatched [-] Ming elite cavalry to accompany him, and even sent his nephew—Zhu Wenzheng!
That's right.
It was the one who was in the defense of Hongdu.
Sitting in an isolated city, with 60 soldiers, the famous general who resisted the crazy attack of Chen Youliang's 85 army for [-] days can be called a military miracle!
In the original history, as the nephew of Comrade Zhu, Zhu Wenzheng was dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's reward after the war. Under the instigation of his subordinates, he lost his temper and wanted to join Zhang Shicheng. The reward that was supposed to be there.
As a result, when Zhu Yuanzhang learned about it, he almost chopped him off. If it weren't for Queen Ma's persuasion, Zhu Wenzheng would have been killed directly.
Even so, Zhu Wenzheng was put under house arrest in the end, and finally died in depression.
The Ming Empire lost a top handsome talent.
And now-
Because of the addition of Juggernaut Changhong.
And in the capacity of the emperor's teacher, he persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to be rewarded and punished clearly. Even if he is his relative, there is no need to avoid suspicion, as long as he has made meritorious service, he will be rewarded!
After all, if anyone feels unconvinced, he can also try to bring 60 soldiers and horses to resist the crazy attack of the enemy's 85 troops for a full [-] days.
and so.
After Zhu Wenzheng returned from his meritorious service, Comrade Zhu did not hesitate to reward him.
Therefore, Zhu Wenzheng, a nephew, has never had a double heart so far. He enjoys the glory and wealth, and the rewards and punishments are clear. He chose to lose his temper when he was out of his mind.
And there is almost no difference in status from the famous founding generals of Ming Dynasty such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He.
just now.
Zhu Wenzheng's official position is——
The governor's mansion, the governor's acquaintance, the official position is from the first rank!
As an important minister of the Ming Empire, and even Comrade Zhu's nephew, his trust level has naturally increased, so the task of escorting Prince Zhu Biao was also placed on his shoulders.
Just when Comrade Zhu was in a daze.
An old civil servant below who seemed to be very old was also eloquently preaching.
"His Majesty!"
"Today's Shandong chief envoy is a hell on earth."
"Because of the drought and food shortage, the price of food is almost one price per day. The old minister heard that the price of food over there has reached [-] times the normal level, and it is even rising. This is to kill the people. Forced!"
"The people now, thanks to the grace of God, may still be able to bear it, but the number of people who starve to death continues to rise."
"It's hard to guarantee that people's hearts will not fluctuate, and a rebellious heart will be born."
"By the time--"
"Gangchang does not exist, Yizi eats each other, I encountered such disasters at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, please Your Majesty please blame God, and issue an edict of sin."
"."
This old civil servant in his seventies and eighties spoke one thing after another.
However, he was obviously not speaking on the emperor's side.
It’s true that the Shandong chief envoy suffered a drought, but there was a lot of food saved before, and there is absolutely no problem in making it through the disaster year. However, most of the food is concentrated in the hands of the powerful landlords. The ones who like to make money are those who are in trouble with the country, and they like to encounter this kind of disaster year, and then make a good fortune.
And this old civil servant, who is a gentry class, naturally would not point out their approach.
Choose to attribute all the faults to Zhu Yuanzhang.
in the past.
Whenever there is any major disaster.
Superstitious people often think that the emperor's virtue is not good enough, which angered God.
Just like Li Shimin, who seized the throne during the Xuanwumen Incident, a plague of locusts broke out not long after he took the throne, and the common people felt that his actions offended God.
of course.
This argument.
Comrade Zhu has always sneered.
What kind of shit god, in his eyes, only recognizes the national auspicious beast—the unicorn!
Zhu Yuanzhang tilted his head slightly, and asked the Sword Master Changhong standing beside him: "Sir, who recommended this person?"
The sword master Changhong, the commander of Jin Yiwei, held the famous sword in his hand, and said lightly: "Kong Yiji, Longfeng joined Daming in 12 years and was recommended by Li Shanchang. Well, they are their disciples."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said, "No, the lackeys of the Kong family can't help but want to jump out so quickly. Let's see how powerful the Kong family's influence is in the court today."
As soon as I heard that the other party was a disciple of the Kong family.
Comrade Zhu's impression of this person immediately reached its lowest point.
no way.
For the Kong family who sit on the fence.
Comrade Zhu really didn't have any good feelings. Naturally, he didn't have any good feelings for people related to the Kong family.
The conversation between the two was not very loud, so the people below couldn't hear it clearly. The old civil servant Kong Yiji was still talking about it. The official career of the disciples of the Confucius family must be prepared accordingly.
Seeing that His Majesty did not react much.
Kong Yiji took a deep breath and cheered himself up.
Subsequently.
Take a step forward.
"His Majesty!"
"The hardships of the people today, the old minister is heartbroken like a knife!"
"The old minister heard that Kong Xixue, the eldest son of Kong, came to Yingtian City a few days ago, and was willing to help His Majesty solve problems, let the children of the Kong family go out to serve, and provide food to solve the drought and food shortage of the Shandong Chief Envoy. This can be described as double happiness! "
"The Confucius family is the descendant of the sage Confucius."
"The children of the Kong family are all talented and well-educated. It is very appropriate for them to become officials and benefit the common people."
"As long as His Majesty can nod and agree, not only can a large number of talents be harvested, but also the problem of food shortage in Shandong can be solved, and the people will also thank His Majesty for his kindness. Please don't hesitate, Your Majesty. Every day of delay, there will be thousands of people. Tens of thousands of people starved to death on the streets."
"."
As a disciple of the Confucian family.
Kong Yiji is pressing every step of the way now.
He also heard about the terms of the transaction between His Majesty and the Kong family from Kong Xixue.
only.
His Majesty has never made a decision.
This matter has been stranded.
And he, Kong Yiji, has been greatly favored by the Kong family, and it is time to stand up and repay them. He directly spread this matter on the bright side, and even boasted about the children of the Kong family more than anything else. It was the Wenqu star from the sky who came down to earth.
He even described the Confucius family's attempt to take this opportunity to coerce Zhu Yuanzhang as a matter of double happiness.
This kind of black-and-white tongue is really amazing.
Leaving aside the children of the Confucian family, the vast majority are those who can only moan without illness and have no internal affairs talents, and only a very small number of them are available.
Just talk about the way Kong Xi learned, if someone else talked to Comrade Zhu like this, his head would have moved on the spot.
Coercing the emperor?
Isn't this a proper way to court death?
Of course, relying on their own high reputation, the Kong family thought they had grasped Comrade Zhu’s lifeblood—lack of food. In order to appease the hearts of the people in Shandong’s chief envoy, they would definitely compromise with them in the end, and then obediently They arranged some trustworthy 'young heroes' among the children of the Kong family and the powerful landlords to important positions.
"Your Majesty, this minister agrees!"
"What Kong Yiji said is reasonable, and I think I can accept it."
"The Confucian family's heart to serve the country with fists and fists really makes people cry. It is indeed a model for the world!"
"."
Immediately.
above the hall.
Those who agree with Kong Yiji's statement can be said to be louder and louder, and one-third of the civil servants directly ran out.
The atmosphere seemed extremely lively, they were all people who stood by the Kong family's forces.
In contrast, there was no movement from the military commander.
After all, in the eyes of the Kong family, those generals are just warriors with little culture, and many of them are reckless and untouchables. They are not worth mentioning at all, and naturally they will not make more friends.
This scene.
But Comrade Zhu laughed angrily.
They all feel that they have grasped their own vitals, and they want to come to force the palace?
The hands of the Confucian family are too long. They have not yet arranged for the children of the Confucian family, and their disciples and students occupy one-third of the area. If they let the children of the Confucian family come in Well, I'm afraid the whole court will be up to them to decide, right?
and.
It’s different in the past.
Comrade Zhu, who owns a full 2000 million stones of food and grass, can be said to have no worries at all, and directly plans to beat the Kong family to death!
With a playful look in his eyes, Comrade Lao Zhu glanced at the civil officials below who stood up to speak for the Kong family.
Presumably, Mr. has basically memorized their names.
At that time, none of them will even try to escape!
"Snapped--"
"Snapped--"
"Snapped--"
Comrade Zhu continued to applaud.
Watching the performances of these jumping beam clowns is really laughable.
In order to match their performance, it is really not easy to suppress the smile in my heart and not laugh out loud on the spot.
"My dear dears, you are right."
"We have a deep understanding of the Confucian family's dedication to serving the country."
"At the beginning, the emperor of the Song Dynasty showed favor to the Kong family, but it was not at all lacking. They have all the glory and wealth that they should have."
"However, when the Yuan Dynasty came to fight, they were also the first to surrender and lead the way."
"This patriotic heart really moved us, so we decided to include this 'patriotic deed' of the Kong family into the compulsory questions of the imperial examination from today onwards. Scholars all over the world take a good look at the glorious deeds of the Confucian family, this is the ancestral system, and future generations cannot change it!"
"."
As soon as Comrade Zhu said this.
On the entire court, it was as if a thunderbolt had been dropped, blowing up everyone.
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, as if wondering if there was something wrong with their ears.
Subsequently.
Everyone showed completely different attitudes.
Among the generals camp, it is natural to applaud. For those Kong family who think they are noble all day long and discriminate against them as martial arts, they are naturally very uncomfortable. If it is not because of their high reputation, the Kong family would have Start beating people.
Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, and almost two-thirds of the civil servants in the neutral camp were a little shocked by His Majesty's thunderous tactics, which were to offend the Kong family to death.
As for the disciples and students of the Confucian family who stood on the side of the Confucian family, almost one-third of the civil servants were full of disbelief.
They couldn't believe it at all.
His Majesty would actually make such a harsh decision.
Once this policy is implemented, the Kong family will be infamous for thousands of years!
and.
Is His Majesty crazy?
Didn't he know that once he did this, he wouldn't even want to get a grain of grain from the Kong family and the powerful landlords in Shandong!
Kong Yiji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! No, Your Majesty!"
Old Comrade Zhu said with a half-smile, "Oh? Tell me, what's wrong with it? Did we fabricate what the Kong family did? Tell us a reason, or else, we'll punish you." A crime of bullying the king."
Kong Yiji was stunned for a moment: "This, this."
to be frank.
About this point.
He really had no way to refute it.
Because His Majesty is indeed right. Some things that the Kong family did are true, but everyone will selectively forget them.
But now, His Majesty directly tore off the last fig leaf of the Kong family.
He didn't dare to say anything nonsense, because the reputation of deceiving the king was not something he could afford.
Old Comrade Zhu slowly put away the smile on his face, showing the ruthlessness of the king. He looked coldly at the faltering Kong Yiji in front of him, and the third of the civil servants who chose to stand with the Kong family. If they want to side with the Kong family, they should sink down with the Kong family.
Just right.
Among the Taoist Zhang family.
There are also many young men of the younger generation.
Originally, Comrade Zhu was still worried about how to arrange official positions for some people with outstanding abilities.
Now that some of the members of the Kong family can be directly cleaned up, it will just vacate the seat for the young heroes of the Zhang family to sit, and it can be regarded as a face for the celestial master Zhang Normal, after all, he is the first person to respond to him.
something.
It can only be given to you by Comrade Zhu, and you can't take the initiative to grab it!
"correct."
"The Spring and Autumn Sacrifice in the Confucian Temple is too large and extravagant."
"Nowadays, people in the world are living in a difficult life. We think it is inappropriate to do this. In the future, except for Qufu, where the Confucius family is located, other places will not be allowed to offer sacrifices to Confucius temples."
"."
Comrade Zhu then added.
This is Liu Bowen's suggestion.
Adding the "brilliant deeds" of the Kong family to the imperial examination questions is a hard knife.
Large-scale prohibition of spring and autumn sacrifices in Confucian temples is a soft knife.
One hard and one soft.
It is only when the meat is cut neatly.
Let people die under these two knives without knowing it.
Hearing His Majesty's second-hand move, Kong Yiji couldn't sit still anymore. This was to beat the Kong family who had been kind to him to death. If he remained silent at this time, he would definitely Spoiled by others for a lifetime.
Forced by Comrade Zhu's majesty, Kong Yiji bit the bullet and reluctantly said:
"Your Majesty, the Spring and Autumn Sacrifice in the Confucian Temple is an ancestral system that has existed since ancient times. If it is forbidden rashly, the old minister feels that"
Comrade Zhu raised a hand and interrupted his words:
"We don't want you to think, we want us to think, if we don't think it's okay, we can't do it, and if we have a problem, let us hold it in our hearts. The ugly words are up front. Anyone who dares to secretly perform the Spring and Autumn Festival sacrifices in the Confucius Temple outside Qufu will be punished." If Jin Yiwei catches it, we won't be polite to you."
this matter.
He was determined to do it.
It is useless for anyone to dissuade it, it is just a waste of effort.
Since the Kong family decided to use the drought and food shortage to coerce Comrade Zhu into submitting, they must be prepared to be backlashed!
after all.
None of the founding emperors was a good stubble.
I can be so good-tempered that I can be threatened by you at will, and I can also laugh it off.
In some respects, Comrade Zhu is very narrow-minded, and will retaliate against you mercilessly!
"besides--"
"We feel that the children of the Confucian family should inherit the essence of the Confucian saint Confucius."
"On weekdays, teaching and educating people is enough."
"As for saying that an official is an official, let's forget it. After all, Confucius didn't do a good job as an official. How could he come up with the way of being an official? Taking it a step further, how can he come up with the way of governing the country? The Analects of Confucius Those words are nothing but the discussion of teachers and students, and they cannot be taken seriously."
"."
Zhu Yuanzhang once again threw out a big killer.
Forbid the children of the Confucian family to become officials!
As such.
Without the influence of the officialdom, no matter how famous the Kong family is, sometimes they can only be ravaged by others, and many things are inconvenient.
Comrade Zhu believes that there is no "way of governing the country" in "The Analects of Confucius".
And that's just rhetoric.
If there is no such thing, why do so many dynasties respect Confucianism, and only Zhu Yuanzhang has true insight?
Confucianism emphasizes "rule by virtue", and some of Zhu Yuanzhang's practices are very rude, mainly because he disdains this "virtue".
The Ming Dynasty had several innovations.
For example, Jin Yiwei, the emperor relied on "small reports" to manage the country.
It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang is quite disdainful of "morality" in his heart. He is a commoner, and all he wants is the stability of his own power. Everything else can be compromised. How much is face worth?He felt that even the hypocrisy of face was in the way, so Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the Confucianism did not match what he wanted at all.
However, people all over the world still respect Confucianism, what should we do?
I can only try my best to suppress it.
In fact, some people will use "governance" and "orthodoxy" to analyze Zhu Yuanzhang's actions.
Since the Qin Dynasty, "ruling" has been playing a huge role.
However, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there has been an additional modification, which is to elevate the status of Confucianism, and this is only to make the thoughts of the people of the world tend to be consistent, and the purpose is naturally to consolidate the political power.
Can Zhu Yuanzhang not understand this?
He is very clear.
However, if he continues to be the same as his predecessors.
Well, many of his practices will be criticized.
Therefore, in order to remove these obstacles, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally had to start with ideology, which is why he suppressed Confucianism in this way.
Zhu Yuanzhang is no different from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to make the whole country have a voice, while Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to make some behaviors that violated Confucianism fair and just.
It can be seen that the actions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang led to the same goal by different routes, both to consolidate their rule.
Because of their different goals, the methods they adopted happened to be two extremes.
In short, everything the emperor's family does is centered around maintaining their own power. Zhu Yuanzhang, in addition to not being used to the arrogant and domineering attitude of the Confucian family, also feels that many things of Confucianism are an eyesore. How can he "do whatever he wants"?
"No way!"
"Not at all, Your Majesty!"
"The Kong family is the top writer in the world, and the children of the Kong family are full of talents. If your majesty abandons it, it will definitely be a huge loss for me, Ming!"
"The old minister begs His Majesty to take back the order, otherwise, the old minister asks to return to his hometown for retirement!"
"."
Kong Yiji quickly knelt down.
Take the ground with your head.
He hit his forehead until his head was bleeding, and at the same time complained with grief and indignation.
The first two things are still within the barely bearable range, but this one is absolutely unbearable.
No official power.
Then.
The power of the Kong family will definitely plummet with the passage of time!
Fame alone is not enough, sometimes the power in your hands is even more intoxicating.
His Majesty's move is to completely dig out the roots of the Kong family, so that they will not be able to become officials. Over time, the Kong family without any officials will definitely decline step by step, and the glory of the thousand-year-old family will gradually dissipate.
Not only Kong Yiji, but the remaining disciples and students of the Kong family also imitated his methods, and they have a good appearance.
There is only one meaning they want to express!
If His Majesty is unwilling to withdraw his order, they will have no choice but to resign.
You know, the people here account for a full third of the civil servants in the court. If all of them leave, there will definitely be problems with the operation of the country, so they are also betting that His Majesty will not Will fight against so many of them!
however--
They lost their bet.
Not only did Comrade Zhu not panic, but he still looked pleasantly surprised. Is there such a good thing? !
Comrade Zhu was afraid that they would go back on their word, so he immediately said: "It's a deal!"
Originally, he had to think of a reason, how to reasonably persuade the Kong family members to leave, so as to save them from embarrassing him in the court all day long.
result.
I haven't thought of a reason yet.
They all took the initiative to give them away, and they all petitioned to return to their hometowns for the elderly. This is the real double happiness!
"???"
"???"
"???"
Now, it was the turn of the disciples and students of the Kong family to be dumbfounded.
They were just talking casually, and wanted to use this to force His Majesty to take back his order. They were not really willing to let go of the power in their hands and go back to be a commoner!
result.
His Majesty doesn't care about them at all.
I don't like their way of forcing the palace either.
Just pack them up and take them all away, go home and make room for others to sit.
Comrade Lao Zhu added: "Since all your loved ones want to return to their hometowns for the elderly, we can't force you to stay. Of course, we are not unreasonable emperors. Everyone receives three months' salary and packs good things for three months. Let's leave the capital in the next day."
do not!
Your Majesty, you can't be tough and take the initiative to let us stay!
As long as you open your mouth and step down, we guarantee that you will agree to come down without any complaints!
They still want to be officials.
As for saying.
Three months' salary?
The salary in the Ming Dynasty was notoriously low. This amount of money was like sending off beggars. They didn't care about this trivial salary at all. The official position was the most important thing!
However, Comrade Zhu simply pretended not to see the Confucian disciples and students who were staring at him eagerly.
What a joke.
Such a rare opportunity to pack them all up and carry them away.
Unless his brain is cramped, who else will suddenly change his mind and let them stay.
This matter is settled like this.
Kong Yiji's lips turned white, and his tone of voice was trembling: "Cocoa is food."
this matter.
He was the one who brought it up.
Therefore, once His Majesty agrees, they really have no choice but to go home for the elderly.
This resentment, everyone must not dare to vent it on His Majesty, and the person who will become a scapegoat at that time will definitely be yourself!
Even if he doesn't die, he will definitely be ruined and will be excluded and suppressed by everyone!
In order to save himself in the end, Kong Yiji had to resort to the last resort - food. I hope His Majesty can change his mind and stop going his own way. This time it is no longer for the Kong family, but for himself.
I don't know.
Since Comrade Zhu has done things so absolutely.
Then don't worry about the lack of food at all, he already has a solution.
"There is no need for you to worry about this. Who gave you the illusion that our Ming Empire has no food?"
"what?"
"We have already allocated 2000 million shi rice to aid the Chief Envoy of Shandong. Tianshi Zhang Normal is also willing to gather the strength of the Zhang family to donate a month's rations for the people of Shandong. In a few days, we should be able to escort them there. At that time, the problem of food shortage will naturally be solved.”
Comrade Zhu said calmly.
There is still a way to deal with the Kong family.
Under the command of Jin Yiwei, Tongzhi Tuqi, infiltrated and detected all kinds of information, and almost checked all the evil things of the landlords and powerful landlords in the Shandong Chief Commissioner, even the Kong family was no exception.
The bigger the family.
The darkness hidden behind is even more shocking.
Comrade Zhu did not read this information, but passed it directly to his eldest son Zhu Biao, and let him make a decision.
As the future heir of the Ming Empire, he also needs to grow accordingly.
this time.
It's a great training opportunity.
"what?!"
Kong Yiji was dumbfounded.
The Ming Empire is now poor and empty, and almost all its food is used for war.
When did they have so much food, they had never heard of it!
Immediately.
It was as if all the strength had been taken from him.
Kong Yiji sat down on the ground directly, his whole face was pale, he could clearly feel the resentful gazes of his colleagues around him, he knew - he was finished!
However, Comrade Zhu would not sympathize with him.
This time, the imperial court meeting announced the final end when the Kong family's forces were completely wiped out.
ten days later.
The Great Ming Empire, the chief envoy of Shandong Province.
Qufu City, twenty miles to the west.
Escorted by [-] Ming elite cavalry, Zhu Wenzheng is the chief general, and the grain transport convoy headed by Prince Zhu Biao is moving forward quickly.
In addition, 2000 people were confiscated as corvees, and a total of [-] million shi of grain was continuously escorted in batches along the way, and it was continuously transported to Shandong. The long grain transport team could not see the end at a glance.
"Da da da--"
The sound of three thousand cavalry galloping was particularly obvious.
Prince Zhu Biao, who is nearly 13 years old, has shown a maturity that is not inferior to his peers.
Regarding the mission assigned to him by the emperor this time.
He also kept it in mind, and planned to dispose of it perfectly, so that he could live up to his father's expectations!
not to mention.
In the eyes of Prince Zhu Biao.
In order to continue the national destiny of the Ming Empire and not be severely damaged by the Little Ice Age, it is necessary to find Lord Qilin and gather the seven Qi Protectors. This premise is likely to defeat many powerful forces!
The future enemy of the Ming Empire is not clowns like the Kong family, but the whole world!
Therefore, he didn't want the Ming Empire and the Kong family to waste too much time and energy here, thereby delaying the pace of conquering the world.
"Cousin, don't worry."
"If there is any problem, just ask my cousin to solve it."
"If the Kong family wants to trip you up, I'll give him two bang bang punches."
"."
Now 32 years old, Zhu Wenzheng, the nephew of Zhu Yuanzhang, patted his cousin who was 19 years younger than him on the shoulder, quite like a big brother.
Although he is a relative of Comrade Zhu, he is not of direct blood.
Therefore, it is impossible to inherit the blood of Qilin.
To be able to have today's achievements, all rely on their own hard work and talent.
After a teaching from the sword master Changhong, some of his stink problems have been improved a lot, and he continues to move towards the perfect handsome.
For the heir of the future empire, his cousin Zhu Biao who also showed extraordinary talent, Zhu Wenzheng naturally admired and admired him very much. After a hundred years, after His Majesty passed away, Daming would not have no successors.
Prince Zhu Biao said: "Cousin, we came here with the aim of completely defeating the Kong family in terms of reputation. Generally speaking, there is no need to use force."
Zhu Wenzheng said with a hearty smile: "Hahaha, I know, I know, everything is dominated by you, and I'm just in charge of doing things."
All their own family.
It is naturally much easier to speak.
Of course, Zhu Wenzheng also has a sense of proportion. After all, his cousin is the heir apparent, the future heir of the empire, and with His Majesty's instructions, he must not be able to overwhelm the host.
While the two were talking.
Prince Zhu Biao, who was riding on the horse, suddenly felt the sun pattern on his forehead burn.
The closer you get here, the more obvious this feeling becomes.
There is only one possibility for this feeling of resonance.
Nearby, there is an undiscovered unicorn secret treasure, and the feeling is extremely strong. It seems that only people with a unicorn blood concentration of more than [-]% can sense its specific location!
Zhu Biao raised his head suddenly, looked in a certain direction, and then murmured to his cousin Zhu Wenzheng:
"Cousin, I seem to have sensed—"
