Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 280 Excavated the grave of Confucius?
As soon as Liu Ke returned to Yanzhou Fucheng, he immediately handed over all the soldiers and horses in his hand to Xu Jin.

The thirteenth master moved the chair to the small garden, drank the wine, basked in the sun, and lived happily ever after.

Xu Jin approached Liu Ke many times to discuss the complete extermination of the Bailian bandits in Shandong, but Liu Ke would always resign and refuse, saying: "Your Imperial Envoy is mighty!"

As for saying that he is also an imperial envoy...

I'm sorry, the king has been running around for several days, tired and sick, the kind who can't move.

The "tired and sick" Prince Zhongshun hummed a little song under the warm sun, and his soldiers skewered lamb and grilled it on a makeshift grill until it was sizzling. Jia Cong could smell the meat as soon as he entered the yard.

"Master, Master Xiao Jia is here."

Hearing the soldier's report, Liu Ke raised his eyelids slightly, and said impatiently: "The king is seriously ill and cannot go. If you are a lobbyist for your teacher, go out and turn left and go back to the government office."

"What lobbyist? No, no, I'm here to ask Lord Thirteen for help."

Jia Cong unceremoniously took over the work of the soldiers. He is the professional in barbecue and so on.

sizzle sizzle...

As soon as the seasoning was sprinkled, the aroma of the skewers caught Liu Ke's nose slightly.

Jia Cong handed the roasted meat to Liu Ke, who had opened his eyes, and smiled: "Well, I want to ask Lord Shisan to help me with something, and send a letter to Beijing..."

Liu Ke rolled his strings and glanced at Jia Cong: "Tell me, who do you want to cheat? Let me tell you first, the old fourteen and Liu Ye's king have not been able to make a move recently. I cheated them a lot in the past few days." , It’s a bit unreasonable to cheat them again.”

uh~
Jia Cong shook his head dumbfoundingly: "I'm not cheating, I just want to ask the Thirteenth Master to write a letter to the concubine, so that she can go to the palace more often and talk to my eldest sister."

Ok?
Liu Ke suddenly stopped licking the skewers, and his expression became serious: "Is someone planning on concubine Xian? Or, someone is planning on the child in her womb? You tell the whole thing to the king."

Sure enough, there are no idiots in the royal family except for the idiot old fourteenth Liu Wei.

Especially the emperor's favorite younger brother in front of him is simply his own sperm.Jia Cong didn't even say a word, he already guessed what was going on.

After Jia Cong narrated the contents of the old lady's letter in detail, Liu Ke put away his cynicism and pondered the various possibilities.

"Fourth brother's heirs are difficult. So far, there are only three or two big cats and kittens. This group of people is really crazy. Are you afraid that fourth brother will go crazy and kill him?"

well!How is it that someone is targeting the Jia family? They are aiming at His Majesty's harem!

Liu Ke was extremely bored with the royal father's suspicion of his son and his brother's murder of his brother, and he let out a long sigh and became sluggish.

"Today you kill me, and tomorrow I will kill you. You kill me here and there, even my own nephew. It's really... the most ruthless emperor's family!"

"Master Thirteen..."

Jia Cong didn't expect that his family's affairs would make this dude prince who seemed to care nothing about it feel so emotional.

Liu Ke chuckled, and raised his spirit a little: "It's not appropriate for the princess to go around the palace. I should write a letter to the imperial sister. Isn't your family going to marry the princess mansion? Use this excuse. The imperial sister She has a straight temper, and if she goes to the palace to make a fuss, it will also make people who care about her scruple."

Although Liu Ke didn't mention which imperial sister it was, the only one who discussed marriage with the Jia family was Liu Shule, the eldest princess of Deqing, who was a good candidate.

"Actually, you don't have to care about the chaos. There is a mother in the harem, and there is a concubine Yang. There is no way for people to take advantage of the loopholes. Your old lady... Forget it, this is indeed a bit strange. The specific situation of Yanzhou being besieged at that time I know it all from your teacher, how can those people in Beijing be so clear. If you want to check it, check it out, I will write a letter to the fourth brother. "

Jia Cong got up and bowed to Liu Ke: "Thank you, Lord Thirteen, actually I also know that I am a little frightened, but I can't let go after thinking about it..."

Originally, he planned to discuss with Liu Ke about the matter of the Confucian family in Qufu, but it was obvious that he was not in good spirits, so Jia Cong gave up his thoughts, roasted some mutton for him and chatted for a while, let him prepare for his lunch break, and then left.

Jia Cong, who came out of the courtyard, wandered around the city boredly with his soldiers, and his mood became more and more heavy as he walked around.

Yanzhou City was besieged for six days, with thousands of military and civilian casualties in the city.In the bustling place close to Surabaya, few people go there these days.

From time to time, people at the four gates carried white flags and scattered paper money, sending coffins out of the city.There were bursts of crying all the way, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Little Third Master, look over there, it seems to be Yan Chenglin from the Yan family..."

Jia Cong looked in the direction of the soldier's finger. A middle-aged man in white linen filial piety was holding a spiritual tablet in his arms, followed by several teenagers, each with a spiritual tablet, walking in from the west gate.

Pedestrians all around avoided one after another, and acquaintances approached to greet him, Yan Chenglin, the leader, looked sad, and the pedestrians sighed endlessly.

The servants over there also saw Jia Cong not far away, and after reporting to his master, Yan Chenglin handed over the spirit throne to the young man behind him, and then walked quickly to Jia Cong.

I saw Yan Chenglin bowed deeply, and said very solemnly: "Yan Chenglin of the Yan family, on behalf of the Yan family, thank you for avenging the tragic death of the members of the Yan family!"

"Hey, Yan Juren doesn't have to be like this. The people are suffering. My official is ordered to go south to suppress the rebellion and bandits. Protecting the land and protecting the people is the right thing to do. I don't deserve a word of thanks. But the people are suffering. It is the government's dereliction of duty. Yan Juren should not blame me. It is not good for officials to suppress chaos."

Jia Cong helped Yan Chenglin, who was bowing down, saw his eyes were bloodshot, and remembered his father, Master Yan's illness, so he asked, "Is Master Yan okay?"

"Returning to my lord, my father has heard that the Shandong bandits were wiped out by the imperial army, and he is in better spirits. This time he went out of the city to deal with the family's funeral. The students did not let my father go out of the city in order to prevent my father from seeing the scene and tears. Wait for my father's body another day Even better, I will go to the government office to thank you adults."

Speaking of this, Yan Chenglin looked around and said in a low voice: "Yanzhou is besieged by rebels, and my lord is busy defending the city against the rebellion. I may not know that someone from Jinan has visited and linked up. Collusion, intending to seize Yanshenggong's mansion..."

Jia Cong narrowed his eyes, his expression turned cold.

He stared into Yan Chenglin's eyes, and asked coldly, "Where did Yan Juren get the news?"

Only Yan Chenglin replied with a wry smile: "The Yan family still has some reputation in Shandong Shilin. The siege of Yanzhou will be resolved. Some people came to the mansion to find my father and wanted my father to jointly sign a letter. This matter is unusual, adults should be careful."

Jia Cong asked again: "Why did Yan Juren tell this official?"

The sadness on Yan Chenglin's face eased a little, as if he was mocking: "My father refused the invitation to come to the joint name, and explained the reason to the students. I Chaobailian bandits started in the south of the Yangtze River, but flourished in Shandong. If the Kong family had not colluded with him, the students would not believe it at all. Just after Yan Shenggong left Qufu, the Bailian rebels captured the heavily defended Qufu city. My lord, how could it be possible for more than a thousand rebels to conquer thousands of elite soldiers from the outside? The Confucian holy land?"

The county magistrate of Qufu County has always been the Kong family.There are not only [-] imperial court troops stationed in the county, but also thousands of Confucian private soldiers. More than [-] rebels easily broke through the city guarded by thousands of people, playing people as fools?
If there were no collusion and laissez-faire of the Confucian family, how could there be natural disasters and man-made disasters in Shandong, causing tens of thousands of innocent people to die tragically?
His little niece...

The Kong family, damn it!

The resentment on Yan Chenglin's face was beyond words, and he bowed and bowed again: "My lord, what the students say is from the bottom of their hearts. Scholars failed to rebel in ten years, but the Confucian family is powerful in Shandong, and the officials discussing wrongs are not good for the court and the adults. It's better to make plans early, my lord. After the students go home and deal with the family affairs, I will go to the government office to pay a visit to the imperial envoy."

Jia Cong nodded and watched Yan Chenglin leave.

He didn't doubt what Yan Chenglin said, gathering scholars to make trouble was the usual method used by the Kong family.The White Lotus Sect has made troubles one after another in Shandong, and the Kong family has more and more land, and now it almost occupies [-]% of the fertile land in Jinan, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou.

As Yan Chenglin said, who would believe that there was no collusion?

"Go back to the government office!"

Jia Cong watched Yan Chenglin disappear into the street from afar, then turned around and walked towards the government office.

As soon as he returned to the government office, Jia Cong wrote a letter and sent it to Xiajiang.

It has been more than half a month since this guy went to Qufu, but there is no news, and it is not clear what kind of outrageous things he did in Qufu.

Half a day after sending the letter, Liu Ke called Jia Cong to another courtyard in the evening, with a very strange expression, half a smile but not a smile, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Xiajiang was blocked in Yanshenggong's mansion, and the scholars in the city wanted to set it up on a pile of firewood and burn it to death in front of the Confucius Temple!"

puff……

Jia Cong couldn't hold back the tea in his mouth, and asked in surprise, "What did this guy do? He made those scholars plan to burn him to death regardless of the majesty of the royal family?"

"He searched Kong Lin all over..."

"What kind of inversion?"

"Use a hoe to dig through the ground. It is said that they are looking for evidence hidden by the Kong family in collusion with the Bailian bandits."

hiss!Is this Xia Jiang crazy?That's Kong Lin, the place where the saint was buried, and the place where the great ancestors would get off their sedan chairs and walk to worship.

"Historical Records" records that Confucius was buried on Sishang in the north of Lucheng, hidden in the ground, not as good as the spring, and sealed in the shape of an axe, four feet high.

For thousands of years, later emperors have repaired and expanded Konglin in order to praise the holy way and strengthen their rule.

Jia Cong wanted to let Xia Jiang go to Kong's house to make a fuss and disrupt the situation, but he didn't make him go crazy.

Does this guy think that he can do whatever he wants because he has received the holy favor and became the head of the inner government department?
Liu Ke was still in a funny mood, and added quietly: "He said that this matter was ordered by Jia Cong..."

"It's his mother! This dog thief..."

Looking at Jia Cong who was about to jump, Liu Ke gloated a little.

He waved his hand to let the people in the room go down, and then said: "This matter is quite serious, you'd better go to Qufu. You will take the imperial examination in the future, so you can't make too much trouble with Shilin. If nothing can be done, then burn Xia Jiang to death in front of the Confucian Temple, then I will break up with my fourth brother."

Jia Cong bowed his hands gratefully to Liu Ke and said, "Thank you Thirteenth Lord for planning for me, but this matter has not yet reached that point. Xia Jiang has to be saved. If he is really burned to death, he will be beaten." Your Majesty's face."

Liu Ke nodded slightly, this is the truth.

The Kong family used the hands of Shilin people to hit the emperor in the face, and the emperor was not easy to hit back, which is really annoying.

"Think about it yourself. Xu Jin went to suppress the bandits outside the city and hasn't returned yet. The king has already sent someone to look for him. When he comes back, you master and apprentice will discuss it carefully, and you will set off to Qufu to deal with the matter the day after tomorrow."

Jia Cong shook his head: "Forget it, I have to deal with this matter myself. I really dragged the teacher into the water, and the gain outweighs the loss. There is no need to wait for the day after tomorrow. I will start now. If I go late, I will really burn Xia Jiang to death." Instead, passive."

Liu Ke sent Jia Cong out, and before he left, he suddenly pulled him back, and whispered in his ear: "You don't have to be afraid, the Kong family, the Kong family, the Kong sage is the Kong sage. It's not like Yan Shenggong can't be changed. ,Right."

……

The monitoring in the third rank seems to have a high position and authority, but in the final analysis, it is just a servant of the royal family, and Liu Ke will not take it to heart at all.

But Jia Cong can't be careless, Xia Jiang is a dark person, how could he turn Kong Lin over like a nonsense, he must have discovered something serious.

After traveling overnight, the group arrived at the south gate of Qufu County shortly after dawn.

The defenders of the city are soldiers and horses under the command of the commander of Shandong Wei, but they are also well-armored and seem to be well-equipped.

"The deputy envoy of the imperial envoy to inspect the political affairs of the Shandong Army, General Huaiyuan, Mr. Jia Congjia, has arrived, and quickly opened the door."

Morning bells and evening drums, the sky is bright, but the gates of Qufu County are closed.Jia Cong looked around coldly, except for a few people who sighed and stood on both sides of the official road, there were not even any merchants coming and going.

Jia Shishi held Jia Cong's official seal aloft, and the defenders at the top of the city looked down at the city, and it took a long time before they ordered the city gate to be opened.

Jia Cong did not enter the city directly, but ordered his soldiers to be vigilant.It seems that the problem in Qufu is the same as what his teacher said, and the surname here may not be Liu soon.

"Third Master, why don't we go back to Yanzhou first, and wait for Mr. Qingteng to call in heavy troops before we enter the city."

Jia Cong rejected Jia Shishi's suggestion, and when the guard came out of the city gate, he patted his horse forward.

"The last general of the Shandong Guard Commander, Li Chuntang, Qianhu..."

Snapped!
Li Chuntang clasped his fists and bowed slightly, halfway through his words he received a whip on his face, suddenly in pain, he screamed, covered his face and backed away.

Before he could ask, Jia Cong whipped up another whip, which happened to hit the hand covering his face.

"Morning bells and evening drums, the time has passed in Qufu County, but the city gates are closed. How dare you disobey the rules set by the great grandfather?"

"I am the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy. I am inspecting and inspecting the political affairs of the Shandong Army, but you keep me out of the city. What are you trying to do? Rebellion?"

"Come here, take Li Chuntang down, give him fifty sticks, and put him in a prison for disposal!"

A series of censures stunned Li Chuntang and the lieutenant of Baihu behind him. They didn't react until the imperial guards of Shenwu Camp tied him up. They immediately started to yell, clamoring for Jia Cong to be domineering and ask him to let him go, etc. .

Pop, pop, pop!

The whip in Jia Cong's hand was thrown out again and again without hesitation, and it hit the faces of the three who shouted the most.

"Presumptuous! Where are the Forbidden Army?"

"The end is here!"

shhhhhh...

Five hundred imperial guards drew their swords in unison, pointing at the front of the soldiers, like ice attacking, and the clamoring people in front of them were all terrified.

The Forbidden Army of the Shenwu Battalion has not long experienced a battle, and the murderous aura on their bodies is about to overflow. No one else can resist it.

Jia Cong snorted coldly, and shouted sharply: "Leave 300 people to take over the city defense, whoever dares to make trouble, the military law will do it! Enter the city!"

Yanshenggong Mansion is only one street away from Qufu County Government, not far from the south gate of the county seat.

After Jia Cong and his party entered the city, they saw a crowd coming not far ahead, blocking the way forward.

This group of people are all dressed in Confucian shirts, the number of people is roughly at least hundreds of people, the leader is white-haired, with an angry look on his face.

Just as Jia Cong reined in his horse and stopped, he heard the white-haired old man angrily pointing at him and scolding: "Child Jia Cong, how dare you come to the Holy Land of Confucianism?"

"A vulgar martial artist, even stepping on the Holy Land, what crime should he have?"

"Shoot it out, hit it out, how can you let these villains pollute the dignity of the Holy Land!"

"Presumptuous! Who are you, dare to attack the imperial court imperial envoy, do you want to die?"

Jia Shixi shouted sharply, and then the two hundred forbidden soldiers shouted together: "Wow! Wow! Wow!"

The murderous shout interrupted the cursing of the group of Confucian scholars, and then Jia Cong slowly patted his horse forward a few steps, and glanced around coldly: "I am patrolling the sky, you are blocking my way and cursing, what are you going to do?" ? If you want to rebel, the [-] Bailian gangsters who were beheaded outside Yanzhou City will be your fate!"

"you……"

"vulgar!"

"Insanity!"

This group of people was just provoked by others, and Jia Cong was speechless even more because of their ignorance.

Now he didn't dare to curse anymore, but his face was red with anger, and when Jia Cong patted his horse forward, he retreated unconsciously, and finally reluctantly stepped out of the way.

Jia Cong led the people through on horseback, and said four words contemptuously: "Not much!"

The current Yanshenggong Mansion was actually built by the previous dynasty. The former dynasty ruled the Central Plains. In order to seek An Shilin's heart, it was extremely tolerant to the Confucian family in Qufu. It was naturally built with majesty.

Jia Cong looked up at the golden plaque hanging on the gate, and sneered in his heart that it was really luxurious. The people he saw outside the city just now were pale and emaciated. A bunch of shameless bastards.

Dismounting his horse and walking, Jia Cong entered Yansheng Gong's mansion from the pilgrimage gate. What he saw was not the Confucian holy place, the Confucian Temple, but a tall pile of firewood with a person tied to it. Who else could be the first Xiajiang.
