At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 205 Jin Yiwei is Inviting

Seeing Kong Zhiping's superior appearance, although Dang Xingyong was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.

Just because... his surname is Kong!
That's right, just because you are a sage, you can do whatever you want, and you can only accept it obediently, otherwise, you will be condemned by scholars all over the world.

Dang Xingyong is a scholar, and all scholars respect Confucius as their teacher, and he is no exception.

Therefore, he has always admired the Confucian family very much, and never meant any disrespect.

But today, when he heard that the other party demoted the Yu County School to nothing, and even forcibly shut down the school, he couldn't bear it anymore.

At this moment, the words of the most holy teacher were gradually forgotten. He just wanted to stand in the perspective of Yu County Academy and argue hard.

What is wrong with us teaching and educating people here?

Why are you pointing fingers?
Even if Duke Yansheng came here in person today, he still needs to give an explanation!
At the same time, Kong Zhiping was already furious, pointed at Dang Xingyong's nose, and cursed: "This person disrespects Yan Shenggong, and he is against the scholars all over the world. Come here, escort him back to Qufu, and hand him over to Yan Shenggong." !"

The entourage behind him is not a simple book boy or servant, but a guard, also known as the commandment.

These people wear a long ruler around their waists, which is shaped like a knife, but does not have a sharpened edge, which is meant for admonishment.

However, this thing is made of iron, if it is hit on the body, it is inevitable that it will hurt bones and tendons.

Seeing that the other party was about to take someone forcibly, the teachers of Yu County School quit and rushed forward, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

In the chaos, someone grabbed Kong Zhiping's hair and said angrily, "Hit me, kill these rebels!"

Those commandments showed killing intent in their eyes, and they drew out their rulers, ready to fight.

Yu Qian couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to stop him when he heard footsteps outside, followed by a group of officers and soldiers running over.

"Stop, stop, what are you doing?"

An officer in his 30s stepped forward. His name was Wang Yong, with a full beard and his right hand resting on the sword at his waist, his eyes were not angry but pretentious.

Seeing this, Dang Xingyong hurriedly greeted him: "Commander Wang, these people claim to be from Yansheng Gong's mansion, and they arrived here early this morning. If they don't say anything, they will close the school. If I don't wait, I want to commit violence!"

Wang Yong looked at Kong Zhiping and asked, "Yanshenggong Mansion?"

Kong Zhiping smiled lightly and said, "Exactly!"

He originally thought that even people in the government would be respectful when they saw him.

This is because the Ming Dynasty has been like this for a hundred years since the founding of the country, and even hundreds of years before that.

However, something seems wrong today...

Wang Yong still had a stern face and asked, "Yanshenggong Mansion, what right does it have to shut down the school in Yu County?"

"you……"

Kong Zhiping was trembling with anger, reversed, reversed!

No wonder Yan Shenggong wants to personally intervene in the affairs of Yu County. Sure enough, the scholars here are in the company of merchants. Standing behind, no wonder...

"Yanshenggong is the respected scholar in the world. The atmosphere in Yu County is corrupt. This is a matter of enlightenment. Yanshenggong naturally has the right to deal with it."

These words sound reasonable, but in fact they are far-fetched, and such reasons are simply untenable.

In fact, Yan Shenggong is a title, not an official position, and has no real power. His only privilege is to inherit the mantle of Confucius and teach sacrificial etiquette.

In the first year of Hongwu, the world was initially determined. Zhu Yuanzhang canonized the descendants of the Confucian family as Yan Shenggong, and ordered Yan Shenggong to have the right to set up government offices. All the ministers have to lean back, and their status is extremely respected.

However, no matter how prominent and honorable Yanshenggong Mansion is, it can't control Yuxian County!
Therefore, Wang Yong didn't buy his account at all, but said: "Pick quarrels and troubles, first meet the county government with me!"

Kong Zhiping sneered, "How dare you meddle in the affairs of Yansheng Gong's mansion. It seems that Yu County is going to fight against the scholars all over the world?"

Wang Yong frowned, and said angrily: "I am in charge of the security of Yu County, you guys are causing trouble here, so you have to take care of it, come and take it away!"

"I think who dares?"

Kong Zhiping raised his hand and took out a token.

Standing in the crowd, Yu Qian took a closer look and was horrified.

It was a black iron plate, and the words engraved on it could not be read clearly. It is not difficult to guess that this is the iron coupon bestowed to Yan Shenggong by Emperor Taizu in the early years of Hongwu.

Wang Yong was a little puzzled, and took a closer look, and the expression on his face immediately froze.

Kong Zhiping smiled triumphantly: "Emperor Taizu has granted this iron coupon, who dares to act presumptuously?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone at the scene was stunned, and when they reacted, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

Holding the iron coupon high, Kong Zhiping said loudly, "Come on, bring these deviant people back to Qufu and hand them over to Duke Yansheng!"

Behind him, several precepts came forward with their rulers in hand. This time, Dang Xingyong and others did not resist.

They didn't think they did anything wrong, but they seemed a little at a loss when faced with Emperor Taizu's iron coupon.

Wang Yong was also very tangled, he wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare.

Just kidding, who dares to go up at this time, don't die?
Thus, Dang Xingyong and several leaders were taken away.

Naturally, Kong Zhiping would not take a teacher seriously. After escorting him back to the inn, he went to other schools non-stop to convey the oral order of Duke Yansheng and correct the unhealthy trend in Yu County.

Wang Yong didn't dare to take care of it, so he had to go back to the county government office and report to the county magistrate for a decision.

The county magistrate of Yu County was named Cui Shirui, and during the period when Shang Ren was ordered to go to Nanjing, he managed the affairs of Yu County on his behalf.

However, facing Yansheng Gong's mansion, he was helpless and didn't know what to do.

…………

Zhu Qizhen frowned after listening to Yu Qian's report.

"The school in Yu County is doing well, what's hindering Yansheng Gong's mansion? Could it be that the Kong family was full and ran all the way from Qufu to intervene in their education?"

Yu Qian replied: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is not that simple, maybe there are other reasons behind it."

Zhu Qizhen was very puzzled and asked, "What's the reason?"

Yu Qian hesitated, but still expressed his doubts.

"Could it be... related to the New Deal?"

"The New Deal? Shandong hasn't started implementing it yet. Why are they coming to Yu County to join in the fun?"

"Your Majesty, you once said that one of the important measures in the New Deal is to reform the imperial examination."

"Yes, I did say..."

Suddenly, Zhu Qizhen seemed to understand.

In his plan, the imperial examination must be changed. The outside world is very exciting, and it is not enough to only read the Four Books and Five Classics. First, the basic courses of natural science should be popularized. Physics, chemistry, biology and other majors, and then refine each major, and so on, to achieve the effect of a hundred flowers blooming.

However, in this way, the interests of the current scholars are bound to be shaken.

These people have studied hard for more than ten years in order to become famous and become the top of the world. Now you tell them that the books they read before are useless and they have to learn again. How can they give up?

And the person who can best represent these people is Yan Shenggong.

Changing the imperial examinations is almost equivalent to directly shaking the status of Yan Shenggong.

Zhu Qizhen had been prepared for a long time. If he wanted to implement the New Deal, he would definitely encounter a lot of resistance.

Therefore, he did not achieve it overnight. Before implementing the New Deal, he did a lot of preparatory work.

The Northern Yuan was conquered first, and then the Japanese pirates were eliminated. Corrupt officials were killed one after another, and the smuggling gentry were basically arrested. I thought that the time was finally right to implement the New Deal, but I didn't expect that the real resistance had just begun.

Even if he is the emperor himself, it is not easy to move Shenggong Nayan.

In the year 2000, Confucianism spread its branches and leaves, and there is no other school in this world, only one Confucianism.

Who in the world does not know that this Confucianism has long been a big tree with deep roots and luxuriant branches, and Yan Shenggong is the core of Confucianism.

After all, Confucianism emphasizes propriety.

What is etiquette, the essence of etiquette is hierarchy, and different levels do their own duties.

In layman's terms, everyone has his own destiny, the emperor is born to be an emperor, and he is born to be a nine-five-year-old king, and the common people are born to be common people, so they should farm honestly all their lives.

Confucianism and imperial power are inextricably linked. If Confucianism is touched, it is equivalent to poaching one's own corner.

Therefore, all dynasties treated the Confucian lineage with utmost respect. Since Kong Zong, the 45th generation grandson of Kong Zong, wished to inherit the title of Wenxuan Gong, and was later renamed as Yan Shenggong, it has been passed down to the present Kong Yanjin. 58 generations.

Not to mention that earlier, the Kong family was almost all canonized by the emperors of the past dynasties. Even in history, there have been three dynasties of the Jin Kingdom, Mongolia, and the Southern Song Dynasty enshrining Duke Yansheng at the same time.

The continuation of Yan Shenggong is much longer than Daming.

The dynasty can be shattered, the royal family can be eradicated, but the incense of Yan Shenggong has never been cut off.

Now Yan Shenggong has made it clear that he wants to fight against the New Deal. If he is ignored and allowed to act as a monster everywhere, the New Deal will become a joke.

However, how to manage and how to ask?
Do you come here politely, and ask for advice in a gentle voice?

If the new policy is promoted nationwide, it will touch real interests. Will people easily compromise?
The difficulty of this matter is that once the real thing is done to Yan Shenggong, it will inevitably trigger a backlash from all over the world.

Because the three characters of Yan Shenggong are the signs of scholars all over the world.

Moreover, the contemporary Yansheng Gong Kong Yanjin has a good reputation, but all scholars who mention him are respectful.

Of course, scholars hold the right to speak. They say it is good, and it is good. It is hard to say whether it is really good or not.

Even the guy named Kong Yanzhi in later generations, after the Qing army entered the customs, set an example for the scholars all over the world, took the lead in shaving the tail of a money rat, and wrote a letter praising Emperor Shunzhi for his brilliance and martial arts, so he would still leave a good reputation among scholars ?

Zhu Qizhen was very tangled, and shouted: "Yu Qian!"

Yu Qian quickly replied: "The minister is here!"

"What do you think about this matter?"

Yu Qian pondered for a moment, and said: "The emperor has already made a conclusion in his heart, so why should I say more?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly and asked, "How do you know that I have a conclusion?"

"If the emperor wants to implement the new policy, he must remove all obstacles. Without this determination, wouldn't the new policy become empty talk? What I have to do is to assist the emperor to carry out the new policy. Naturally, there is no need to care about the rest."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and said, "You still know my heart best. In this case, Yuan Bin..."

Yuan Bin stepped forward: "The minister is here!"

"How many people are there with you?"

"Back to the emperor, there are more than [-] of them, all in casual clothes, hiding in the county town."

"Let everyone change into official uniforms and go meet those people from Yanshenggong's mansion!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Yu Qian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that man has an iron coupon bestowed by Emperor Taizu in his hand!"

"so what?"

Zhu Qizhen snorted coldly, and said: "Emperor Taizu gave the iron coupons to give preferential treatment to the Kong family, but did not give them the right to enforce the law. I would like to see who is in charge of this world!"

…………

Kong Zhiping is sitting in front of the hall and drinking tea in the county government office of Yu County.

Although the county magistrate, Cui Shirui, was very reluctant to petition, he finally gave in to the words Yan Shenggong.

Because he knew that he was not qualified to fight against others.

Now he only hopes that Shang Lu, the magistrate, will come back soon. Before that, he would never dare to offend these people.

"Cui Xiancheng, do you understand what Yan Shenggong means?"

"Your Majesty, please tell Yan Shenggong that Yu County will be rectified!"

"That's right, how can a scholar be willing to degenerate, associate with merchants all day long, chasing money, how decent is it?"

"Yes, you are right to teach me the lesson, the officer has been taught!"

Kong Zhiping has no official title, nor is he a direct descendant of the Kong family, he is just a low-level offshoot, but Cui Shirui dare not neglect in the slightest, for fear that he will lead someone to smash the county government in a fit of anger.

"The ancients said that if you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. I will truthfully report this matter to Duke Yansheng. Please remember that everything is inferior. Only reading is good. We read the books of sages and sages. We must not lower our status!"

Cui Shirui was about to agree, but heard an inappropriate voice from outside the door.

"Who is talking nonsense here?"

Kong Zhiping immediately frowned again, and said impatiently: "Cui County Chancellor, is Yu County so unruly, anyone can enter the house?"

Cui Shirui was also a little puzzled, and when he looked up, he was startled.

Because the other party was wearing a black-bottomed flying fish suit with a red case, followed by more than 20 people, all wearing black official uniforms and carrying an embroidered spring knife, it turned out to be... Jin Yiwei!

Yuan Bin slowly walked up to Kong Zhiping and asked, "Are you the one surnamed Kong?"

Kong Zhiping was also very surprised, why did Jin Yiwei come?

However, he didn't panic in his heart, even Jin Yiwei didn't dare to do anything to him.

Because I represent the Yanshenggong Mansion, this Yanshenggong is not only a duke, but also a prince and Taibao. With his status, even if he enters Beijing for an audience, he needs to be greeted by a senior scholar in person, ranking above the cabinet senior scholars. .

Punishment is not good for the doctor, nor is it good for the common man.

How can you still arrest me?

He stood up slowly, and said, "Kong Zhiping is in Xiayan Shenggong Mansion, what is your name?"

Yuan Bin stood in front of him, and said slowly: "Commander of Jin Yiwei, Yuan Bin!"

"Commander?" Kong Zhiping asked in amazement, "Are you the commander of Jin Yiwei?"

Yuan Bin nodded and said, "It's guaranteed to be true!"

Kong Zhiping asked suspiciously, "What does Commander Yuan do?"

Yuan Bin smiled lightly and said, "Take you somewhere!"
