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

Chapter 212
Seeing Jin Yiwei's arrogance, everyone turned their eyebrows coldly, but no one said anything.

Because he was carrying a knife, and Jin Yiwei has always adhered to the principle of not copying if he can do it, so he really did it!

The person who spoke was Liu Ji of the Imperial Academy, who had been a Jinshi for 13 years. Due to his excellent grades, he had participated in the compilation of "Huanyu Tongzhi" since he entered the Imperial Academy, and he was regarded as a leader among young officials.

As a scholar, Liu Ji would of course stand up to speak for the Kong family, but when Jin Yiwei came back face to face, he felt ashamed and his eyes widened, but he still didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing this, Kong Yanjin walked forward instead, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "In that case, I will let you go."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and got into the sedan chair, and under the escort of a team of school captains, he went straight to Beizhen Fusi.

Those who came to greet them, looked at the sedan chair going away, and suddenly fell silent.

After a brief silence, Liu Ji flicked his sleeves and said with a sneer, "Hmph, let them mess around!"

After finishing speaking, they also left separately.

Kong Yanjin sat in the sedan chair with a calm expression on his face.

As a descendant of the most holy teacher, since the day he was born, he was destined to be superior to others, and to be superior to scholars in the world.

In the Ming Dynasty, Confucius was the only respected saint. In this world, there is no one who dares to neglect himself!

Not to mention the commander of Jin Yiwei, even if the orthodox emperor came in person, so what?
The only thing he was worried about was whether this Yuan Bin would play tricks. After all, Jin Yiwei's reputation has never been very good.

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to worry, no matter what happens, just deal with it calmly.

When he arrived at Fusi in Beizhen, someone asked him to get off the sedan chair.

After Kong Yanjin got off the sedan chair, he looked around and couldn't help frowning: "Isn't this the Fusi of Beizhen?"

"Of course it's Beizhen Fusi!"

Zhu Ji smiled and said, "Zhao Prison also belongs to Beizhen Fusi."

"Zhao prison?"

Kong Yanjin's face changed suddenly. He thought that if he condescended to come to Dianmao, at least the commander would personally receive him and serve him with tea. Who would have imagined that he would be brought directly to Zhao Prison!

Zhu Ji explained: "Since the driver's letter is sent out, there is a case to be inquired about, so of course I have to come to Zhao Prison."

The guards behind Kong Yanjin all had dark faces. If they were in other places, they would have fought a long time ago.

However, what you encountered today was hard stubble, and the surrounding Captain Jin Yiwei looked even more stern, pressing his hand on the handle of the knife, which meant that you would give it a try.

Kong Yanjin smiled awkwardly, and said: "This place is also a quiet place, but the old man heard that many scholars were killed here, I don't know if it is true or not?"

But Zhu Ji didn't answer. He had been ordered a long time ago not to argue with the other party, because...he couldn't fight.

He is the head of the world's scholars, the leader of the quarrel world, and bickering with him, isn't it just asking for fun?

Seeing that no one answered, Kong Yanjin was not annoyed, he helped the Fulun towel, patted the Confucian shirt on his body, and walked into Zhao Prison.

As a Duke, he was qualified to wear a boa robe, but when he went out, he only wore the most common Confucian shirt.

Because of this attire, it represents scholars all over the world.

This also means that this trip to Beijing is not in the capacity of the Duke of the State, but to seek justice for scholars all over the world.

What justice?
Of course it is the imperial examination!
The news that the emperor is going to change the imperial examinations has been circulating for a long time. What is the imperial examinations?

In the hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, scholars from all over the world have passed the imperial examination, forming a huge gentry group.

Although they form cliques and fight against each other on weekdays, they all belong to scholars after all.

In this era, it is not so easy to support a scholar, and it takes a lot of money and energy.

Ordinary big families, with more than a dozen descendants in each generation, can only be the eldest son, or choose an intelligent one to study, and the rest can only stay at home to do farming or business.

This scholar is the future head of the family. If he can obtain fame and fame, and get a part-time job, the whole family will follow suit.

Even if you fail the rankings in the end, you can make friends with some dignitaries in the process of studying, paving the way for the future development of the family.

Because of this, scholars will be scarce, they will be superior to others, and they will be able to obtain privileges that ordinary people do not have.

And these privileges are a huge cake, and only scholars are eligible to distribute them.

If the imperial examination system is abolished, or drastically changed, then the gentry group will quickly collapse, and they will soon be replaced by a group of new forces. This is no longer as simple as taking a piece of cake, it is taking the plate away !
Therefore, the Confucius family must give an explanation to scholars all over the world.

Kong Yanjin walked forward unhurriedly. Along the way, there were school lieutenants standing with swords in their arms, one guard at three steps and one sentry at five steps.

I saw his eyes turn around, looking at everything around him, and then said with a smile: "Is this the legend of Xia Mawei?"

Zhu Ji pretended not to hear it, and led the people to a main hall.

"Sir Commander, Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yanjin brought it here!"

Yuan Bin sat in a high position, and there were several school captains waiting on the left and right with swords.

Kong Yanjin raised his head and saw Yuan Bin with a slightly surprised look on his face. This person was not as miserable as he was said to be in Qufu. He was about 35 or [-] years old, and he was still quite handsome, with a gleam between his eyebrows. With a majestic air.

You know, that's not what the folks say about this eagle dog leader.

Among the many rumors, most of them say that this person has the eyes of a deer-headed mouse, sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, and two triangular eyes that reveal viciousness...

In short, all kinds of vicious words that can be imagined are used.

Yuan Bin looked at Kong Yanjin, neither humble nor overbearing, and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Yan Sheng, please take a seat!"

Kong Yanjin nodded: "Thank you!"

After finishing speaking, he sat down casually and looked up and down. This place is the magic cave that many people have rumored, but it seems to be clean and tidy.

"I don't know why Commander Yuan called me to Beijing, why?"

His tone was very calm, and it didn't seem like he was pretending, because he was backed by millions of scholars, and the mere Jin Yiwei didn't pay attention to it.

Yuan Bin said lightly: "You naturally know why you came here."

Kong Yanjin shook his head: "I don't know!"

The first confrontation between the two was mainly based on probing, so it was evenly divided.

Yuan Bin asked again: "Kong Zhiping is from Yanshenggong's mansion?"

Kong Yanjin replied, "This person is from a collateral branch of the Kong family. I wonder what he did wrong?"

Yuan Bin said: "Whether it is a direct line or a collateral line, I just ask you, is this person from Yanshenggong's mansion, and is this person's actions ordered by Yanshenggong's mansion?"

Kong Yanjin nodded and said: "It's true that this person is from the government, but he just went to Yu County to deliver the old man's ordinance, as for the others, it has nothing to do with the government."

Yuan Bin said straightforwardly: "I called Yan Shenggong here today, just to ask clearly, what right does Yan Shenggong's mansion have to interfere in the education of Yu County?"

With a confident smile on his face, Kong Yanjin said: "I am old and incapable, and shoulder the responsibility of educating the world. Yu County is uneducated and has a corrupt atmosphere. Naturally, I have the right to control it!"

"Bold!"

Yuan Bin suddenly raised his eyebrows, pointing at Kong Yanjin with anger in his eyes, and said: "The new policy of Yu County is the emperor's decree personally promulgated, and the prosperity of Yu County's enlightenment is obvious to all. Why do you order to shut down the school in Yu County? Could it be that the Yanshenggong Mansion has established itself as the king and no longer obeys the emperor's will?"

"Ha ha……"

Kong Yanjin shook his head with a smile, and said: "Yanshenggong's mansion is responsible for promoting the enlightenment of the world. This is the legacy of the Taizu. The old man only talks about enlightenment, and ignores everything else. As for the protests that Commander Yuan accused Disrespecting the purpose, I really dare not agree!"

Yuan Bin secretly said to the old fox in his heart that he would put on a label of disrespect for disobedience, and he would immediately bring out the ancestral system!

It is true that the Emperor Taizu did grant Yanshenggong Mansion the right to publicize the teachings of the world, but how much this right is is a very vague concept.

For a long time, scholars all over the world have respected Lord Yansheng, which has made this so-called right to promote enlightenment more and more authoritative. Even the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court always consults Lord Yansheng on major national affairs.

So on the issue of Kong Zhiping going to Yu County, it is not clear at all whether it is reasonable or not.

Yuan Bin didn't intend to entangle this matter endlessly. Since he dared to summon Yan Shenggong to Beijing, he naturally reserved his hands.

"Kong Zhiping colluded with the rebellious party. I don't know how Yan Shenggong explained it?"

It's normal for Jin Yiwei, the court eagle dog, to beat him up occasionally...

Kong Yanjin continued to smile, and said lightly: "Master Commander, where is Kong Zhiping now?"

Yuan Bin said, "It's in Zhao Prison."

"Oh, why don't you let him come over? The old man asked him face to face, how did he collude with the rebellious party?"

"I'm afraid not. This person is now a key criminal of the imperial court, and he should not easily meet outsiders."

"He was taken away by Jin Yiwei. Now the old man doesn't even know whether he is dead or alive. If the Commander thinks he is a traitor, then he is a traitor."

In his eyes, there was a faint sense of nobility, as if he was using the posture of a superior person, but tried his best to conceal his high status, and lowered his dignity to deal with the inferior person.

The man was taken away by you Jin Yiwei. Now no one is alive, no dead body is seen, so you can slander it however you want.

For the same reason, Kong Yanjin can also insist that he is not a chaotic party. Anyway, if you don't bring people out to confront him, you can say whatever you want.

As a result, the negotiations once again entered a dead end.

Yuan Bin narrowed his eyes, thinking in his heart, why not find some reason to detain him, lock him up and give him a beating...

Kong Yanjin didn't know that the other party was thinking about how to beat him up, so he raised his head, and asked like a family chatter: "Commander Yuan has become famous recently, and I have heard about it in Qufu. I don't know how old Commander Yuan is this year, has he ever married a wife?" ?”

Yuan Bin was taken aback, why did he suddenly talk about homework?
Immediately he realized that this person was making a condescending posture, which meant that in the eyes of others, Kong Zhiping's affairs were just like this. Yan Shenggong sent driving stickers.

Well, I've come in person to save you, but the matter must stop here.

Because, the next thing is not for you, Yuan Bin, to worry about.

The reform of the imperial examination involves the ancestral system, and it also involves the fundamental interests of the gentry class of the Ming Dynasty, which is not something Jin Yiwei can interfere with at all!
Yuan Bin never expected that this guy could be so reckless now that he has come to this point.

"I don't need to bother you with your private affairs."

Kong Yanjin didn't seem to hear it, and continued: "Zi said, there are three unfilial acts, and the greatest thing is to have no offspring. If a person has no offspring, he will inevitably become a little impetuous."

Yuan Bin sneered and said, "Flirtatious or not, what does that have to do with you?"

Kong Yanjin stared at the other party's eyes, and said calmly: "Then what does the enlightenment matter have to do with Jin Yiwei?"

This is already a challenge, because he feels that he has been humiliated.

Which of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not show respect to the Confucian family?

Not to mention the Ming emperor, the Jin people, the Mongols, and the Song Dynasty, which one didn't respect his ancestors in every way?
Even the Emperor Taizu, don't he still want to praise the stinky feet of the Kong family?

Fortunately, even Jin Yiwei dared to be so presumptuous!
Kong Yanjin went on to say: "The old man came here not for the face of Commander Yuan, but for the face of the emperor and the court. Now that Commander Yuan has issued the driving sticker, the old man is here too, but , what else do you want? Could it be that you really want to punish the Confucius family?"

Yuan Bin's face was sullen, his heart was full of resentment, but he was helpless.

"Let me tell you the truth. I'm not afraid of you investigating, but I'm afraid you won't be able to investigate yourself! You don't want to plant any serious crimes against our Kong family. The blood of the Kong family and even the holy master can rebel! Is it? You, Yuan Bin, are just a military officer, and you can have a hundred reasons to rebel, but what kind of person am I, Kong Yanjin, who dares to say that I am rebellious?"

His face was full of righteousness, and his tone suddenly became extremely tough: "This is the end of the conversation, there is no more to say, now you can figure out what to do with this situation!"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be unsatisfied, and sneered again: "After I, Kong Yanjin, became a saint, what do you mean by being a warrior, interrogating the old man like this? The word loyalty comes from my ancestors, not you warriors!"

Judging from his tone of voice, he did not come to stand trial, but to judge people morally.

If it were someone else, under these words, even relying on the four words of the most holy teacher, they would have already been defeated.

Unfortunately, Yuan Bin doesn't believe in evil.

"So, you don't recognize it?"

"Of course not!"

Kong Yanjin answered crisply.

Yuan Bin said: "Instead, Jin Yiwei wronged you?"

Kong Yanjin sat upright, looking very calm, and then said with a bit of mockery: "Aren't there few people you have wronged?"

Yuan Bin said patiently: "Yan Shenggong's words seem to have some deep meaning."

"No deep meaning."

Kong Yanjin shook his head, and continued: "I need to go to a banquet tonight, and I will have an audience in the palace tomorrow. I'm very busy. Have you finished asking?"

Yuan Bin sighed, and then said lightly: "It seems that you will not cry when you see the coffin."

Kong Yanjin's face became extremely ugly. He didn't expect that someone would put the word "coffin" in front of him.
