Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Qin Shao heard Kong Zhenhong talk about the corrupt life of the Kong family, and really wanted to scold her!
This Kong family is really rotten to the bone!
This Kong Wenshao is no different from his old man, the same kind!

It is said to be the main branch of Confucius, but there have been many controversies about whether this branch is orthodox.

Think about it, do nothing, just relying on the name of the ancestor's Zhengzhi, the whole family can enjoy the glory and wealth for nothing, without having to produce or work hard. They are rushing to get married.

Most of the fertile land in the whole territory of Qufu County is owned by Yanshenggong Mansion. Although it seems that they are being maintained by Xu Jue, not to mention the county magistrate, even the governor of Shandong will be courteous when he sees it!
His grandma's is simply more carefree than the emperor himself!

Although he is now sitting on the power of the Great Ming Dynasty, but for the development of Ming Dynasty, in order to eliminate unknown hidden dangers, he almost forgets to eat and sleep every day, so he has no leisure at all. Thinking of this, how could Qin Shao not be bothered by the Kong family?

"In my previous life, I was also a person who liked reading. My family was poor and I couldn't have more hobbies. I could only bury myself in the sea of ​​books and forget the troubles of the world for a while! I have always admired Confucius, not because I believe in the culture he created. , but I think his perseverance and ability are amazing! It's just that the Kong family..."

When Kong Zhenhong talked about the Kong family, he obviously had a lot of dissatisfaction.

After waking up, he learned that he was reborn in Confucius' home. Although he was scared and panicked at first, he was glad to accept it slowly.

After choosing the final decision, he would have let everything go.

In the past, he always felt that the kindness of his parents was greater than the sky. The reason why his parents were so ignorant and only cared about their immediate interests was because they were poor. As long as he made good money, he could change.

It's just that he forgot that his own abilities were limited, and he forgot the greed and selfishness of his so-called relatives.

A person's real poverty is not material poverty, but ideological poverty.

Material poverty may be changed through external forces, but ideological poverty is often engraved in the bones, and it may not be possible to change in a lifetime.

"The Confucian family's inner house has lost ethics and morality, and life is extravagant. During the famine years ago, the people were hungry. The grain in the Confucian family's granary would rather be eaten by those rats than provide relief to the poor victims! The reason why Liu Liu and Liu Qi Killed and looted in the old city of Qufu, and burned the city of Qufu to the ground. The Kong family really played a role in fueling the flames!
The lives lost in their hands in these years are countless, it seems that human lives are worthless!
Even though I want to tell myself that this is ancient times, it is different from the dynasty I belonged to, but in the face of real life, I really... really sit back and watch...

In fact, I also wanted to leave the Kong family back then, but I didn’t expect him to stand up with the help of the court soon. Now that a new city has been built, the Kong family is even richer, and the entire Qufu city is under his control.

I didn't intend for the Kong family to be rich, it's just that this kind of family doesn't allow us to be famous in scientific research, and it doesn't allow me to go out at will. It really wants me to be trapped here alive!
Poor Lu Jiaoer, I intended to save her, but I didn't want to kill her!

I arranged her in the tofu shop. In fact, I arranged for a little maid to serve her. If there is anything, you can come to me for help.Although I can't help her completely, I still have some right to speak in her natal family, but she is too deeply influenced by feudal ethics, and feels that her reputation has been ruined and her family will be affected. It's just that she never had the chance to ask for help, and her family killed the maid I was sending to, and she didn't help rescue at all...

Her family has been mutilating her, but she thinks it is right. In the final analysis, she is still a real woman under the feudal ideological life of the Ming Dynasty, and she is not my girlfriend in the previous life at all...

I just want to leave the Kong family... I didn't expect it to be so difficult! "

Kong Zhen Hongyang sighed.

In this era, there is no family, no identity, and it is difficult to move an inch.

Although Qin Shao has always sympathized with Kong Zhenhong, including Li Er in his previous life, the same is true.

But it cannot be denied that sometimes poor people actually have hateful things!
It seems that the heart is kind and soft, but in fact, sometimes being too kind without principle actually encourages evil deeds and may also harm others.

As far as he knew, that tofu Xishi didn't actually say that she didn't want to marry that old country gentleman as a concubine, her education made her believe in the words of her parents and matchmaker!

She originally wanted to be her concubine peacefully, but Kong Zhenhong's sudden concern disrupted her peaceful life.

And according to the words of the people nearby, I know that the old squire is actually not bad except for his age. His old wife is dead, and there are a lot of daughters in the family. He has never been able to have a son. Died due to dystocia. These days, it is a hell for a woman to give birth to a child, and it is easy to die by accident!

In the society they lived in in the previous life, the mortality rate of women giving birth to children was basically low. The fundamental reason was that the existence of caesarean section reduced the risk of some women with dystocia, but this era is different!
The reason why the old squire kept marrying concubines was, after all, to bear sons.

Kong Zhenhong felt that Tofu Xishi was ruined by marrying an old squire at a young age, and felt pity for her, but he didn't want to spoil Tofu Xishi's marriage, and then fell into the hands of Pork Li.

time!life too!
Kong Zhenhong's mental breakdown and madness were naturally caused by Lu Jiaoer's own death, and more of it was actually the disillusioned hope in his heart and his helplessness towards fate.

"Do you still want to repeat the old path of the previous life?"

Qin Shao looked at Kong Zhenhong and asked.

It’s okay to save people, but if the person doesn’t know how to save himself, is still in a bad state, doesn’t learn to improve and reflect, and is no different from a walking dead, then it’s not worth saving!

He is not a savior, he can only be a guide, the same in the previous life, and the same in this life!
"Of course I don't want to! It's just what do you want me to do?"

Kong Zhenhong, who has resurrected his life, is not stupid, but his thoughts are a bit stubborn, and he is easy to get into a dead end.

The person in front of him was well-dressed, surrounded by many followers, all of them respected him extremely, and all of them were equipped with guys, and there was a professional doctor to see him. This person must have an unusual status.

He felt that they were very concerned about the Confucian Mansion. Since they came to save him and asked himself such a question, he must do things by himself!
There is no free lunch in the world!
All times are the same!

"You come to be Yan Shenggong!"

"What? How is that possible?"

"I said I can!"

"But I don't want to be like that Kong Wenshao, who spends all day in prostitution and extravagance, being a moth in the court, showing people's lives like worthless... I can't wait to get rid of this Confucius mansion..."

"Then you should be Duke Yansheng..."

……

"Who is this Qufu county magistrate?"

After dinner and tea, Qin Shao asked suddenly.

"Kong Wenliang!"

Wang Yun replied.

"The one whose surname is Kong?"

Qin Shao was a little surprised. The person whose surname is Kong in Qufu should naturally belong to the Kong family. Not to mention that the Yanshenggong family occupies Qufu, even the post of county magistrate is exclusively owned by their family.

Could it be that Qufu City is a country within a country in this Ming Dynasty?
"Your Majesty doesn't know that Qufu is, to put it bluntly, the territory of the Kong family. Since the Yuan Dynasty, this Qufu subdistrict not only has the greatest right to Duke Yan Sheng of the Confucius family, but also the post of county magistrate in Qufu City is hereditary from Duke Yan Sheng. Later, because Yan Shenggong had too much work, this county magistrate was recommended by Yan Shenggong to be qualified by the children of the Kong family!"

Wang Yun is obviously familiar with this Kong family.

It's no wonder that although the Wang family is low-key, it can be regarded as the mother's family of the old concubine and belongs to the circle of powerful and powerful people.

Although the Confucian family of Yanshenggong held a false position, Lao Zhu had already given Xianshenggong the honor of a first-rank official, who could walk on the royal road, and was the head of civil servants.

Not to mention the Confucian Garden and Confucian Mansion that are being renovated now, even before, the Confucian Mansion was second only to the Forbidden City in scale!
When Qin Shao thought about it, he wanted to scold Kong Wenshao, his wife!

When they were beating local tyrants, they forgot about the Kong family!

Compared with those so-called landlords and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, the Kong family is a hard stubble.

"Has there been any objections among them?"

Qin Shao asked the question in his heart.

In this country within a country, it is said that there should be objections from the emperor, such as Zhu Houzhao. I don’t know if he has touched the Kong family, but this is indeed a hard bone.

Even after he came to power, although he killed a group of officials and replaced many officials, those in Jiangnan were actually deeply entrenched in many cases. It took Zhang Cong and Wang Hong a lot of effort to gain a firm foothold.

It is Wang Hong who is now promoting a series of measures to relax the sea ban in the south, and he is also facing a lot of pressure.

Qin Shao understood that Wang Hong asked him to preside over the opening of the sea. In fact, he wanted to use the power of the emperor to frighten those people.

As for Qin Shao, he naturally wanted to expand his influence and better strengthen his rule through this trip to the south.

The main reason why the emperor of Ming Dynasty was restrained by civil officials was that many people lived in the Forbidden City all their lives and had no contact with the places they ruled. In many cases, it was said that the emperor was the ruler of Ming Dynasty.

But the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. In many cases, it is the stubborn forces that really act as a deterrent.

"Why not? In the time of Emperor Wuzong, that is, when the victims were in chaos, the entire city of Qufu was captured by the rioters. The reason was that the county magistrate was scared away first! The county magistrate was a nephew of Kong Wenshao. Walking birds and raising dogs is a good idea.

When Liu Liu and Liu Qi were about to call, some officials at the city gate suggested that he resist the city with armed forces as soon as possible. He also thought that Qufu was the birthplace of the sage Kong. Don't take it seriously!As a result, after the rioters entered the city, he was lucky. He was the first to run away with his concubine. Anyway, the Kong family ran the fastest. They didn't organize soldiers to resist at all. Instead, they took the soldiers to protect them and escaped. The common people were really hurt. It's a mortal sin!The whole city was basically razed to the ground by the rioters, it was really a tragedy...

At that time, the imperial court also knew about this situation, and no one dared to offend Nayan Shenggong. However, several officials suggested that since the county magistrate from the Kong family was incapable, it is better for the imperial court to send officials to manage Qufu, that is, the imperial court sent officials to be the county magistrate of Qufu. .

The Kong family did not happen first, but many officials of the imperial court stood up to speak for the Yanshenggong family, saying that it is a rule of the past dynasties for the Kong family to be the county magistrate of Qufu, and it should not be changed at will!
He also said that if this person is not qualified to be a county magistrate, he can still find someone from the Kong family who is both good in character and learning to continue to be the county magistrate!
Shang Shu Fei Hong also said that if one person is unqualified to cancel the "grand ceremony" that has been passed down for hundreds of years, it will damage the prestige of Ming Dynasty and the tolerance of Emperor Wuzong.

Wu Zong had no choice but to listen to the suggestions of those people, saying that the governor and inspectors should go to inspect the political performance regularly. "

Damn it!
After hearing what Wang Yun said, Qin Shao knew that the county magistrate of Qufu was not only hereditary from the Kong family, but he didn't even need to be assessed for officials.

As for the regular evaluation of officials mentioned by Wu Zong, it was just a dead letter, and it ended without any problems under the opposition of those ministers, let alone coming to Qufu.

It's no wonder that the Nayan Shenggong family has been so arrogant in all dynasties, it's all because of too much face!
Since Qin Shao came to power, Zhang Cong and the others have cooperated with him to make a lot of reforms, and to be honest, they have achieved certain results.

But even Zhang Cong, who is considered a lonely minister and devoted himself to himself, never mentioned the Yanshenggong family when the reform weakened the power and status of those aristocratic families.

This Yanshenggong family not only receives a large amount of subsidies from the imperial court every year, but also rules and manages Qufu, a country within a country, occupies a large amount of land, and has never paid much taxes. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are big moths of the imperial court!
"Tomorrow, Xuanna Qufu county magistrate will come to see me!"

Qin Shao said to Wang Yin in a cold voice.

"Don't proclaim Nayan Shenggong?"

Wang Yin was a little surprised, he also inquired about the situation in Qufu, it was obvious that Kong Wenshao, the Shenggong of Nayan, was in charge of Qufu City.

As for the county magistrate, Kong Wenliang, who is basically a puppet, since the emperor wanted to see the official from Qufu, why didn't he see Kong Wenshao?
Wang Yun is also somewhat different. In his mind, since the emperor wants to identify himself, it is better to meet Yan Shenggong first. What is the reason for seeing which small county magistrate?
"Why announce him? A vain title is also worthy to talk about the issue of Qufu City? Isn't it to assess the performance of officials? Naturally, I want to meet Kong Wenliang?"

Qin Shao laughed.

……

Qufu Jiaofang Division.

"Master, is this okay?"

The housekeeper Wang Chong watched Kong Zhenqian being dragged into a room by several enchanting women. When Kong Zhenqian was being dragged away, he turned around and called Third Uncle all the time. Kong Wenliang just waved his hand at him, signaling him to enjoy himself.

"What's wrong!"

Kong Wenliang sneered.

"But he's so young... I'm worried that he won't be able to keep his secret, so I'll tell Duke Nayan..."

Wang Chong said with some worry.

"It's not that he's young, so he doesn't need this trick! Don't worry, that old guy is so happy with a group of white-faced scholars, how can he take care of his youngest son? Besides, he doesn't know the truth about it, whether he is male or female. His son is happy when he comes out, maybe he even thanked me for letting his little son flourish earlier!"

Kong Wenliang laughed.

He is Kong Wenshao's cousin. Although they are not real cousins, the main branch of the Kong family is not too well connected. In terms of blood relationship, Kong Wenliang is relatively close to them. This is why the function of Qufu county magistrate falls to him. important reasons.

If a person reaches a certain position, his appetite will become bigger and bigger. Kong Wenliang is such a person.

He, the magistrate of Qufu County, is supposed to be pretty good.

County magistrates in other places are treated as seventh-rank officials, but their county magistrate in Qufu is indeed sixth-rank. Of course, the reason should be thanks to Confucius!
It's just that after serving as the sixth-rank county magistrate, he still has to be constrained by Kong Wenshao everywhere.

Kong Wenliang gradually became impatient, he had a new idea!
