People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 179 Atonement, a Great Gift to the Emperor

In those days when the Taoist temple was sleeping, Kong Kejian did gradually recover, although he was not the same as a normal person like now,
But he remembers things, because others are unprepared, he can hear and see many things.

The one who impressed me the most was naturally Zhang Yi himself.

The essence of art and Taoism, the entry of mathematics into the imperial examination, the Confucian family's arithmetic, and his suggestions to Kong Na.

One thing after another flowed through Kong Kejian's heart. These things can prove that the child in front of him is not simple at all.

So when he called Zhang Yi, he used a sir!
But the sound of your Excellency made Zhang Yi see through the fact that he had woken up a long time ago.

"During the Taoist temple, it was indeed getting better gradually, but at that time, I was also half-conscious, not as good as now!

But in my waking hours, I did hear a lot of what you said, which benefited me a lot!

The old man also sees your relationship with Uncle Yan, this kid is honest, he can't beat you!
But you regard him as a sincere friend, the old man can also see it! "

When Kong Kejian mentioned Kong Na, his eyes were full of tenderness.

The kinship of the big family is actually relatively weak.

But in the past few months, Kong Na has been by his side, and the grandfather and grandson depend on each other for life, and their relationship is deeper than that of ordinary grandparents.

Zhang Yi felt guilty again, he was good to Kong Na?
Well, as long as the part that pits him is removed, he is indeed not bad to Kong Na.

That's right, that's it.

He changed the subject:
"Old man, I'm not talking about you, you have tormented your son and grandson so much, why don't you just get up and recognize each other?

Could it be that you, an old man who is half buried in the ground, still expect your grandson to resist everything for you, so you can pretend to be crazy and foolish in peace of mind, and avoid facing the facts? "

Now that others have seen through his true colors, Zhang Yi no longer pretends to be a child.

His question pointed directly at people's hearts, and Kong Kejian's eyes dodged when he asked.

But escape is inevitable, Kong Kejian sighed:
"Actually, this old man understands that even in your eyes, this old man is a traitor!
But my Kong family has hundreds of people, so I can't help but hesitate. I miss the glory of the previous dynasty, but it's not just because of the glory and wealth that I refuse to choose! "

"But you... pretended to be crazy..."

Zhang Yi will not show mercy to Kong Kejian because of his kindness towards him.

Kong Kejian smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, the old man is a traitor, and today's karma is still to be blamed!

All the good things are done by me, but it has nothing to do with Kong Na!
Speaking of which, my waywardness caused my fate today. The reason why I can sit here is because my grandson helped me win it!
It's a pity that the old man is cowardly, but he has never dared to face the truth! "

"No one has faults, but Mr. Kong, your next step is the future direction of the Kong family!
Although the choice of the Kong family has nothing to do with me, but Kong Na is my friend after all!

If Mr. Kong had listened to my choice, the situation of the Kong family might have been much easier!
I'm afraid it's too late now. Although I don't know the military situation ahead, most of them are already within reach for me, Da Ming!

Even if he sees the wind and turns the steering wheel like a fool, Mr. Kong can't keep up.

It is probably because of this that you thought of simply dying to avoid embarrassment! "

Kong Kejian's face turned red when Zhang Yi said something, and this was also the reason why he was seriously ill a while ago.

Dadu is about to fall, and it seems that he is not sincere enough to surrender again.

This kind of thing itself was a wrong step, and even if he wanted to surrender, he had no chance.

Probably because of this, after Kong Kejian recovered, he did not wake up, and even Kong Xixue and his son did not notify him.

He probably really hoped that after his death, he would leave behind a good reputation.

Kong Kejian's heart was once again occupied by shame, but it was not Zhang Yi's original intention to despise him.

Compared with the Zhang family, the Kong family has greater influence and popular support.

If they are used, their role will be far more important than that of the Zhang family.

It is precisely because of this that such patriarchs surrendering to other races will do more harm to China's national identity.

The Kong family is a sinner, at least for the racial identity of the Han nationality, no one can wash it away.

But now, the emperor bridges the north and the south, and the Kong family can actually play a big role.

If Kong Kejian simply voted for Daming, it would be a happy situation for everyone.

Now that the trouble is so uneven, Kong Kejian really has no face to recognize the Kong family father and son.

"Little real person, please think of a way out for me!"

Kong Kejian's face turned blue and pale, and finally bowed down, begging Zhang Yi to show him a clear way.

"Atonement!"

Two words popped out of Zhang Yi's mouth, and Kong Kejian's expression was full.

"Since we want to rectify the name of the Kong family, first of all, we must admit the crimes of the Kong family, I wonder if you dare, old man?

The so-called atonement, first of all Ya Hao thinks he is guilty, for example, the emperor said that the Kong family is a traitor, do you recognize this word?
If you admit it, start from the Jin people going south, find out what your ancestors did, admit it, and plead guilty to the emperor!
This can probably make up for that person's impression of the Kong family!
This is the premise, as for how to do it later, that's another story! "

Kong Kejian's face changed drastically when he heard the words, and he admitted the wrong things the Kong family had done. How difficult is this for the Yanshenggong Mansion?

This is tantamount to denying the correctness of the Kong family over the past hundred years and putting the Kong family in a state of shame.

"Only knowing the crime can redeem the sin! If the old man can't make it through, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

Zhang Yi looked like he had nothing to do with him, which made Kong Kejian embarrassed.

"Wherever you walk, there must be traces. If Mr. Kong can't face up to the past, he won't be able to cross the future either! That's all for now, I hope you will know!"

Zhang Yi felt that it was almost the end of what he had said. Kong Kejian could walk out as soon as he could, and if he couldn't, it was just a matter of asking.

Although he planned the Kong family, he didn't mean that the Kong family had to do it!
He stood up and went out, but Kong Kejian suddenly stopped him!

"You give me an idea..."

"It's easy to do!"

Zhang Yi laughed and whispered something in Kong Kejian's ear!

Finally, Zhang Yi closed the door from outside the room and went back to the Taoist temple alone.

Leaving Kong Kejian alone in the name of sleeping is actually a struggle between heaven and man!
afternoon.

Xiao Jiuxian came in to check Kong Kejian's body, only to find that the old man was staring at him blankly:
"What year and day is it?"

He suddenly said a word, but Xiao Jiuxian was startled.

"Old man, how are you?"

Xiao Jiuxian was taken aback for a moment, and then he was ecstatic.

Kong Kejian recovered from his illness, which is good news for everyone.

"Well, it feels like I slept for a long time, but today I suddenly recovered!
I think Mr. seems to have a kind face, but I can't remember who Mr. is? "

Without saying a word, Xiao Jiuxian turned around and went out of the house. He yelled at the door. After a while, Kong Xixue and Kong Na ran over from the outside in a panic.

"Father, grandpa..."

Seeing Kong Kejian, the two fell to their knees on the ground.

Is Mr. Kong okay?
That is a great thing, the ancestors bless, God bless the Kong family!

The father and son wept bitterly, and Kong Kejian also had a complicated expression.

It's not easy, because of his own greed, but let his son and grandson bear his mistakes.

Kong Kejian did not choose to reminisce with the two, but said in front of outsiders:
"Hurry up and report to the emperor that the old man wants to enter the palace!

The old man is going to plead guilty to His Majesty the Emperor! "

what?
The Kong family father and son were dumbfounded, what did Kong Kejian play?

This news was delivered to the palace at an extremely fast speed.

"Zhang Yi, what do you want to do?"

The conversation between Zhang Yi and Kong Xixue had already been placed on the emperor's desk.

Facing these contents, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

This was the first time he felt displeased with Zhang Yi's motives.

"Reducing the cost of education is probably the same as what Zhang Yi said about making scholars worthless!
And the method Zhang Yi chose was to simplify the text? "

Zhu Biao also read the secret note, and he also had guesses about what Zhang Yi did:
"What the younger brother of the Zhang family has done probably has a similar operation. In fact, Arabic numerals and punctuation marks are similar to what he said to reduce the cost of education!

He has his own ideas about the way of enlightenment!

These are all things that benefit the country and the people, and benefit the future!
Just simplifying the text, I am afraid it is not easy to do!Moreover, he himself told us that this incident is actually detrimental to the monarchy! "

"But he still chose to do it, just with the help of the Kong family, interesting!
Use the hands of the Confucian family to end the great dragon of Confucianism?
Although he also said that before the emergence of new production relations, the status of Confucianism is unshakable!

But what Zhang Yi did was indeed weakening the interests of the scholar-bureaucrat class.

In other words, if this method is implemented, there will definitely be a lot of resistance! "

Lao Zhu objectively evaluated Zhang Yi's approach. To be honest, he actually admired Zhang Yi's methods.

This kid has an idea in his heart to change the world, and he really dares to do it.

It's just that the way he chose was not to become a vassal of the king, or to follow the path of fame and fame to become a marquis and worship a minister.

He is more inclined to hide in the fog of history, subtly changing the world in a way that others do not know.

Zhang Yi's methods are more inclined to immortals,
Maybe those gods who are high above and without a trace are also changing the direction of fate in this way.

Zhang Yi is just practicing the teachings of his "ancestor", which Old Zhu understands.

Just this kind of change, will it hurt your own interests?

This is what Lao Zhu cares about.

Zhang Yi didn't know that he was the emperor, and he didn't care about this topic.

Many of the things this child did were considered from a very high altitude.

To a certain extent, Lao Zhu can see the choices made by Zhang Yi in the future as "right", but is the choice he thinks right for Daming correct?

Zhu Yuanzhang had also considered this possibility before. When Zhang Yi's choice conflicted with Daming's interests,
How should he face this child who conflicts with his position?
Kill him, or imprison him?
If the old Zhu in the past would probably have many choices, but now he is at a loss.

Zhu Biao seemed to see his father's hesitation, and was also worried for Zhang Yi.

He is a little more tolerant than Zhu Yuanzhang, but he also understands the emperor's position.

If Zhang Yi really chooses to harm the monarchy, he will be blacklisted by the emperor again without knowing it.

Over the past few months, Lao Zhu's bet on him may be wiped out because of a wrong choice.

The cold, self-interested emperor will return again.

"Father!"

He was about to persuade the emperor, when there was another message from outside.

"Kong Kejian wants to enter the palace to plead guilty, is that old guy awake?"

The news from the inspection school was delivered in a timely manner. Before the Kong family and his son left the house, he already knew everything.

"That brat, did he really wake up the madman?"

Hearing that Kong Kejian woke up, the Zhu family father and son were slightly shocked.

Kong Kejian was really crazy, at least for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang was very curious about Zhang Yi's method called "hypnosis". Is that thing so magical?

Whether Lao Zhu believes it or not, he feels a little awe of the methods of the Xian family.

In addition to being surprised by Zhang Yi's magic, the emperor and his son were also shocked by how Zhang Yi persuaded that old guy Kong Kejian to enter the palace to plead guilty?

Others believed that Kong Kejian woke up suddenly and declared that he would enter the palace to plead guilty to Lao Zhu, but the emperor and his son did not believe a word.

This old boy was really crazy a while ago, but he was pretending to be crazy earlier.

What he thought in his heart, the emperor knew it well.

"When Mr. Kong comes over, the truth will probably become clear!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't waste too much energy guessing, just waiting for the Kong family to come.

a while,
The three grandparents of Kong Kejian delivered a message to the palace, and the emperor allowed them to enter the palace.

In front of the imperial study in the East Pavilion, the father and son of the Kong family knelt down and begged to see each other.

"Emperor Xuanyan Shenggong's family has an audience!"

Under the guidance of the eunuch, Kong Kejian saw Zhu Yuanzhang for the second time, and he had mixed feelings about seeing the emperor again.

"Kong Xixue pays homage to the emperor!"

"The grassroots Kong Kejian has seen the emperor!"

"Konne, greeting Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked meaningfully at the three generations of the Kong family next to him.

Kong Xixue is a man with good eyes, he first walked up to Kong Xixue and helped him up.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Kong Ke firmly and said:

"Old Master, today is the second time you and I have met, but it is also the first time!

The last time I saw Master, you were old and seriously ill. However, the position of Yan Shenggong is related to the orthodoxy of the world. I have no choice but to let Xixue bear the burden! "

Zhu Yuanzhang's words are sincere.

But everyone in the imperial study looked weird, and no one appreciated it.

Kong Kejian blushed even more with embarrassment, and almost found a crack in the ground to slip in.

The emperor knew that he was pretending to be crazy, he knew that the emperor knew that he was pretending to be crazy, and everyone pretended not to know that he was pretending to be crazy, but he wanted to pretend not to know.

This weird atmosphere made everyone almost pick out the Forbidden City.

Everyone is fighting for the thick-skinned one.

Kong Na, Zhu Biao couldn't bear it at first, and lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking?
Kong Xixue and Kong Kejian are similar, only Zhu Yuanzhang plays the emperor, Kong Kejian can even see a trace of concern in his eyes,
Oh shit!

The old man originally wanted to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang in acting, but he couldn't do it well.

Foreshadowing this thing is avoided, let's go directly to the meat of the show.

Kong Kejian knelt down with a puff:

"The old minister deserves death!"

"Oh!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became playful. Is Kong Kejian ready to confess everything?
"What is the crime, sir?"

"The old man came here today to plead guilty for the old man and for the wrong choices made by the Kong family in the past hundred years...

My ancestors were forced to live and die by the Confucian family, violated the ancestral precepts, and surrendered to foreign races..."

According to Zhang Yi's idea, Kong Kejian told the history of the Kong family in the past hundred years.

His words really shocked everyone present, including Kong Xixue, Kong Na and his son, and Zhu Yuanzhang!
Lao Zhu took a deep breath, listening to Kong Kejian complaining about his ancestors, a look of shock appeared on his calm face.

He originally thought that Kong Kejian was going to confess his mistakes, and even explain how he pretended to be crazy, but this old guy started to criticize his ancestors, which was really shocking.

The ancients worshiped the ancients, and they also paid attention to the greatness of the dead.

It takes a lot of courage and a lot of risk to be honest about the mistakes of our ancestors.

It is not good for Kong Kejian to do such a thing. At a large scale, it would embarrass the Kong family, and at a low level, it would make people doubt his character.

Just looking at Kong Xixue's horrified expression and trembling body, one can tell how much Kong Kejian's words shocked him. ,
, Kong Kejian didn't even reveal anything to them on the way to the palace.

"so what?"

After Kong Kejian finished talking about the past, Lao Zhu played with it.

To deny the history of the Confucian family over the past hundred years, is there something to be done?

"So, the old minister wants to make amends. The Kong family is in the hands of the old minister. He has made many choices that violate the righteousness. The old minister has been seriously ill these days, and he has dreamed of many things in his dreams...

These things tortured the veteran day by day, and finally one day the veteran woke up!

It's not that I deny the glory of our ancestors, the old minister just wants to tell His Majesty that the Kong family will use actions in the future to atone for the sins of the past hundred years!
The hearts of the people are divided, the people are divided, and the Confucian family is guilty of it!
For the rest of my life, I will use the influence of the Kong family to make up for this crime!

Your Majesty is an unborn saint, the savior of our Han people..."

Kong Kejian gave another rainbow fart,

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned at first, but he was ecstatic when he figured out the key point.

Kong Kejian's sin against himself is definitely a great gift to the emperor.

This is completely different from the Confucian family returning to themselves, and the political significance of this is very different.

A normal surrender can at most be regarded as the conventional hype of the Confucian family facing the change of dynasty, but Kong Ke insisted on denying the practice of the Confucian family for a century, but it directly highlighted Lao Zhu's justice.

This is sacrificing the reputation of the Kong family to fulfill Lao Zhu.

It was Kong Kejian who completely handed over the hearts of the people of the Kong family to the emperor.

Behind China's two "thousand-year" families, the Kong family and the Zhang family, there are a lot of people's hearts.

This is an achievement accumulated by a family for hundreds of years, which cannot be owned by ordinary people, especially the Kong family, if they really cooperate with all their strength...

It is of great help to his plan to bridge the North and the South.

Zhu Yuanzhang figured out how this festival made him unhappy.

"Is that kid's idea?"

In a flash, Lao Zhu thought of Zhang Yi.

With Kong Kejian's temperament, it is impossible for him to suddenly change his nature and come to him to redeem himself, and this old guy does not have such courage, so he naturally has expert advice behind him.

It's Zhang Yi...

Lao Zhu knew Zhang Yi who was able to persuade Kong Kejian and came up with such a wild and unscrupulous approach.

he:……

The purpose of Zhang Yi's doing this, Lao Zhu also understands, he is still using the Kong family to promote simplified characters,

In order to make this matter a reality, the relationship between the Kong family and the court must also be taken into consideration.

This kid actively advises Kong Kejian, he really has no good intentions!
"Forget it, I'll take it as a big gift from him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang decided to meet Zhang Yi, but before meeting him, he reluctantly accepted his gift.
