Daming: Father, I am no longer a teacher

Chapter 76 Taoist An You surpasses Duke Yansheng
"Renren Zhang, Duke Yan Sheng, be polite!

Master Zhang, it has been a few years since we left..."

All the officials ignored him, and let Kong Xixue taste the warmth and coldness of human feelings.

Finally, one person was willing to stop and say hello to the two of them.

However, Kong Xixue found that Li Shanchang's attitude was obviously just incidental.

If Zhang hadn't been standing here normally, he probably wouldn't have stopped.

"It turned out to be Li Xiang, poor and polite!"

Zhang normal can also feel the warmth and coldness of human feelings.Yesterday, this Li Xiangke was not interested in reminiscing about the past with him. To put it bluntly, the respect he got standing here now all came from the favor of the one in the deep palace.

Zhang Normal should have been flattered by the prime minister's cleanliness, and even a little proud of it, but after experiencing ups and downs, he has been able to treat him normally.

"Every time the real person comes to Beijing, he comes and goes in a hurry, and there is no time to catch up on the old days. If there is nothing wrong this time, you can go to my house to catch up on the old days!"

Old Zhang was moved by Li Shanchang's invitation.

He had experienced this kind of thing many times in the previous dynasty, and he handled it with ease.

Just as he was about to agree, he suddenly remembered Zhang Yi's evaluation of the emperor. Zhang normal was sweating instantly, so he took a step back and said:
"People from other places can't afford the exquisite food, and His Majesty has entrusted the poor Taoist priest this time. After this face-to-face meeting, the poor Taoist priest will leave Beijing soon, and he may have to live up to Li Xiang's good intentions!
If there is a chance to come to the capital again in the future, Pindao will definitely pay a visit! "

Zhang normal actually refused his invitation?

A hint of displeasure flashed across Li Shanchang's face, but he quickly covered it up.

"Yan Shenggong!"

Li Shanchang turned to Kong Xixue and said:

"I also know about Confucius, I will visit your father again when I have a chance!"

Kong Xixue's heart was full of bitterness, Li Shanchang's insincere words were clear to him, after the news from the palace last night, probably the Kong family in Qufu was classified in Daming.

The name of the traitor was uttered through the mouth of Emperor Hongwu,
No unsightly official would go into the troubled waters of the Kong family!
Li Shanchang turned and left, while other officials continued to file in.

Finally, when Liu Ji passed by in the distance, when he passed by Kong and Zhang, he still nodded with neither humility nor condescension, and then went straight in.

Fengtian Temple.

All the officials waited quietly for the emperor to finish handling the government affairs and announce what he wanted to announce.

About Kong Xixue's award, about Zhang Normal!

A cutscene is required.

Zhu Yuanzhang began:
"Li Shanchang, have you read the things I sent to Zhongshu Province yesterday?"

Li Shanchang knew that Xirou was coming, so he hurried out, he lowered his head and said:

"Your Majesty, I haven't had time to look at it yet!"

"It's the same here. The former pilgrimage Duke Kong Kejian and his son Kong Xixue entered the court yesterday. I have already entertained them. Unfortunately, the old master's health is failing. I took pity on him and let his son continue his title; I made Kong Xixue hereditary Yan Shenggong, rank 2000, Jin rank Zishan doctor, ranked after the prime minister at the court meeting. Granted [-] hectares of sacrificial land, harvested every year for sacrifices, and envied the rest to be paid by Yan Shenggong!
What do you think? "

Li Shanchang turned his head, looked at each other with his colleagues, bowed his head:

"Your Majesty, the ministers think it is appropriate!"

There is nothing wrong with Zhu Yuanzhang's handling of this matter, although the previous dynasty's reward for Yan Shenggong may have been better.

But from a jurisprudential point of view, the emperor gave the Kong family the face they deserved, and there was nothing to criticize.

What's more, these old foxes in the court know what is going on with Kong Kejian.

Most of the north is unbroken, and that Duke Yansheng came to Nanjing reluctantly,
Even when the emperor was furious, he ignored the situation on the front line, and personally asked General Xu Da to "escort" him back. You know how much the emperor thinks about Kong Kejian?

But even under such circumstances, the old master was still on the road, taking advantage of illness to procrastinate, reluctantly.

Changing to such an ending, Zhu Yuanzhang is already concerned about the face of the most holy teacher, what else does the Kong family want?
"That's fine, Xuan Kong Xixue!"

The emperor said to the eunuch beside him that Kong Xixue, who was already waiting in front of the palace, hurried in.

Zhu Yuanzhang publicly announced the reward agreed yesterday, and Kong Xixue kowtowed to thank him.

Old Zhu couldn't see yesterday's harshness at all, and seemed amiable.

However, the words in his mouth made Kong Xixue feel the wind from Yingtianfu to Qufu more and more cold.

"Kong Aiqing, now that you have inherited the title, you should study your family studies carefully. The most holy teacher left behind the three cardinal guides and five constant rules, which are a good law that will last forever. Don't let your children and grandchildren waste it..."

Kong Xi learned:

"Your Majesty, I understand!"

"From now on, Yan Shenggong and the disciples of the Confucian family will concentrate on offering sacrifices to the most holy teacher, and they will no longer have to hold posts in the local area. I also know that the Confucian family wants to learn from their ancestors and help the world at the same time...

But there is a treasure mountain at home, why lose the watermelon and pick up sesame seeds? "

Kong Kejian smiled wryly. The glory and wealth of the 90 members of the Kong family has become a passing cloud in the mouth of the emperor. It is foreseeable that the Ming Dynasty will never see the Kong family in official circles for a long time to come.

As for Yan Shenggong of the past dynasties, it is a blessing to be able to sit safely and securely in the Confucian Temple and continue the incense of the most holy teacher. What else can he say, he can only thank him!

"Thank you Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have already gone to believe in Qufu. I feel that the North has been occupied for a long time. Even in Qufu, the laws handed down by our ancestors are still lacking. I have come to respond to the sky. Only then do I know that the ancestors passed on and maintained in Daming. More complete, I beg Your Majesty to let my son Kong Na come to Yingtian to study..."

"By the way, do your filial piety for me!"

When Kong Xixue said this, all the officials present were silent.

Taking the initiative to take the child as a pledge is an act of humiliation, but the situation is stronger than others.

The Confucian family's overly clear stance has completely offended the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Now that the north has not been decided, with the Confucian family's previous stance, it is difficult for Kong Xixue to walk out of Yingtian Mansion decently without paying any price.

Everyone knows what the so-called request is about, but everyone is pretending to be crazy.

Zhu Biao had a panoramic view of everything in front of him, but he couldn't help thinking of Zhang Yi's violent theory of "a scholar's ass"!
Some people may feel that the emperor has gone too far, but the Kong family whose power has been cut off is also in line with the position of those officials in the court.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to Kong Xixue's "request" naturally, and resigned as the saint Gong Xixue.

"Xuan Long Hu Shan Daoist Zhang Normal!"

Kong Xixue's business is over, so it's Zhang's turn to play normally.

The two passed each other, Kong Xixue's expression twisted.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's system said: I am the only Taoist, based on quietness and inaction, and its origin is still good. The Zhang family of Longhushan, since the Han Dynasty, has successive sects. Its 42 generations of grandsons are normal, with the intention of diluting, Baodechun He, Yuan Shaozong, to keep the integrity. I use it to praise, it is Yixi who uses the righteousness to teach the Tao and the inaction to explain the ancestors. Eryi!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't spend much time talking about Zhang Normal, and directly rewarded him.

Zhang normal knelt down Xie En, but at this time, an accident that should not have happened happened.

Yushi Zhongcheng, Taishi ordered Liu Ji to come out and knelt down:

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate for a Taoist priest to be rewarded above Yan Shenggong!"

As soon as Liu Ji came out, the scene became silent again.

At this time, Li Shanchang suddenly smiled, walked out, and said:
"The minister also thinks it's wrong!"
