I, Jiajing, join the Ming Emperor chat group

Chapter 80 Purging the Confucian Family of Duke Yansheng

In front of the city of Qufu, the gate was open, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, were dignified and majestic, holding long spears, standing in front of the city gate, heavily guarded.

The scarlet official robes, which are rarely seen on weekdays, appeared here in groups at this moment. What was even more unexpected was that the three leaders were all wearing jiao robes, and they were one of the few vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty.

And behind them, a large number of domineering and complacent young people are whispering and talking about something.

These self-satisfied young people are all from the Kong clan in Qufu City.

The Kong family is one of the best overlords in Qufu.

Although there are still three vassals here, in terms of power, these three vassals can only eat, drink, and sleep when they are full. Although the court has no money, they will not treat a contemporary prince like him badly.

In terms of power, these three kings are completely incomparable with Kong in Qufu, where Kong can be regarded as the real "vassal king".

Qufu has been the land reserved by the Confucian family for generations, and the wealth of Yan Shenggong is astonishing. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of land for the Confucian temple.In addition, over the past hundred years, the Kong family has used various means to own more than [-] hectares of land?
Throughout Shandong...

No, throughout Daming!
The Kong family are all leading landowners.

Therefore, young people born in the Kong family are extremely proud and self-satisfied. They claim to be descendants of saints.

And in front of these young people, there was a man wearing a felt hat that wrapped the top of his head tightly so that he didn't want others to see him, and he was listless.

He was supported and stood in front of the city tower, with deep regret in his eyes.

He is the contemporary Yan Shenggong, Kong Yinzhi.

Because the imperial court has not yet issued an imperial decree to abolish Duke Yansheng, Kong Yinzhi is still the Duke Yansheng of Daming... Not only that, but there are two other "edicts" in his family, from Dashun and Daqing respectively.

He has now reached the highest achievement that the ancestors of the Confucian family had never achieved.

Simultaneously conferred the title of Yan Shenggong of the three regimes!
It is precisely because of this supreme achievement that Kong Yinzhi's heart is ashamed.

Someone is alive, but he is dead.

This sentence can fully describe Kong Yinzhi's current state.

And with the same idea as Kong Yinzhi, there are Zhu Youli, the King of De, and Zhu Youfen, the King of Heng.

"I'm coming!"

Suddenly, a fast rider came to report from a distance, and after hearing the news, Zhu Yihai smiled, and immediately went forward, smiling at the dogs who had surrendered and the second ministers around him: "Everyone, come with me and pay a visit to His Majesty Sejong!"

At this thought, King Heng, King De and Duke Yan Sheng, the smiles of the two kings and one prince were all stiff, and they could only bite the bullet and lead the guard of honor to Zhu Houcong's direction to meet Zhu Houcong's king driving the dragon.

After seeing Zhu Houcong's Long Xun and the majestic Ming army accompanying the army, Lu Wang Zhu Yihai couldn't help sighing, and a look of envy flashed in his eyes: "It's really a great tomorrow soldier, I am invincible under the Ming Dynasty!"

But this envy was fleeting, Lu Wang Zhu Yihai immediately hid this thought deep in his heart, and then he respectfully bowed three times and bowed nine times, bowing to Zhu Houcong on his knees:

"Lu Fan, Zhu Yihai, together with Heng Fan and De Fan, pay homage to His Majesty Emperor Sejongsu, and respectfully greet His Majesty!"

King Heng and King De quickly imitated Zhu Yihai, king of Lu, and knelt down to greet him.

And with the kneeling of the three kings, the following officials and the disciples of the Kong family would naturally not stand still, and saluted Zhu Houcong one after another, but they did not bow three times and said: "The ministers respectfully greet Your Majesty, and the holy bow!"

With a slender figure and handsome appearance, Zhu Houcong raised the curtain, dressed in a black gold dragon robe, and stepped down step by step from the top of the dragon. He looked around at the vassal kings and ministers who were kneeling like ears of wheat blown by the wind, and nodded: "I'm safe."

Hearing Zhu Houcong's response, all the ministers dared to stand up.

After the ministers got up, Zhu Houcong did not chat with these ministers, but said to Lu Bing and Yu Dayou beside him: "Station in Qufu, change defense, let the guards of Qufu rest."

"The last general takes orders!"

"Follow His Majesty's decree!"

Yu Dayou and Lu Bing took orders one after another, and the accompanying sergeants and Jin Yiwei began to mobilize.

Facing Zhu Houcong's move, everyone was unexpected, but no one dared to say anything.

After all, their Yanshenggong, Dewang and Hengwang's virtues were flawed, and they didn't stand on the moral high ground this time.

The reason why Zhu Houcong asked the soldiers to switch Qufu was naturally to prepare for the next major event.

The Kong family has been cultivating in Qufu for a hundred years. The officers and soldiers here are not so much the Ming army, but rather the private soldiers of the Kong family. Besides, the Kong family also has servants and farmers.

Therefore, controlling Qufu is tantamount to cutting off the last reliance of the Kong family, the mutiny.

And the Kong family didn't know what happened...or they couldn't believe what Zhu Houcong was thinking.

Seeing that the change of defense went smoothly, Zhu Houcong didn't continue to pay attention to this point, but turned his head, looked at the proud Lu Wang Zhu Yihai, and immediately said: "Qing is Lu Wang?"

"Your Majesty, the little king is Lu Fan." Zhu Yihai was somewhat respectful.

Zhu Houcong didn't talk too much nonsense, and asked Zhu Yihai directly: "I'm asking you, do you dare to mount a horse to lead the army, dismount the horse to calm the people, like a vassal king in the Hongwu Dynasty, guarding the territory for my Ming Dynasty?"

Hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Zhu Yihai was stunned, and a raging fire burned in his eyes immediately, and a catalyst called ambition began to hatch for it.

For a feudal lord who wanted to make a career, Emperor Yong Le's policy was too cruel.

Zhu Yihai said forcefully, "Xiao Wang is willing!"

Zhu Houcong continued to ask: "If you move the domain to Nuer Gandusi, Mongolia, North Korea, or even Japan, would you be willing?"

Hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Zhu Yihai hesitated for a moment, his ambition swallowed up his worries, and he nodded immediately: "If Your Majesty wants Xiao Wang to go to the front line against Jiannu, Xiao Wang is willing to go!"

"it is good."

Zhu Houcong nodded, and then said with a smile: "Go to Beijing from now on, tell Emperor Chongzhen what you think, and he will arrange for you."

Zhu Yihai was extremely happy when he heard the words, and immediately bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

Although the place to go is most likely to be a bitter and cold place in the frontier, but Zhu Yihai just enjoys the feeling of having power in his hands!

However, the eyes of King Heng and King De were full of fear, they were afraid that Zhu Houcong would let them do the same, and go out of the town to be the powerful vassals on the frontier.

Just kidding, how many catties are they?Wouldn't it mean that people would eat their bones when they went to the frontier?

In Shandong, such a safe place, Jinan City will be breached once, and the previous King De was arrested and sent to study abroad. Doesn’t going to the frontier mean that generations will have to study abroad?
Seeing the terrified eyes of the two of them, Zhu Houcong was very disgusted: "You are also worthy to leave the town?"

Yes.

If these two wastes leave the border of the town, they will absolutely throw away the territory of Daming!

"Decree to abolish Defan and Hengfan, and confiscate all the jewels in the two feudal palaces. Lu Bing, you take Jin Yiwei to handle this matter yourself! If someone obstructs, I will order Zhang and Wang to divide into two teams and give it to you!" Zhu Houcong said coldly.

From being unfamiliar at the beginning, Lu Bing has copied his experience from the house raid. He nodded immediately, and immediately took Jin Yiwei to prepare to go to Qingzhou and Jinan.

"Employing De Shuren and Heng Shuren to Beijing, how to deal with them is entirely up to Emperor Gao!"

When De Wang Zhu Youli and Heng Wang Zhu Youfen heard the words, their legs went limp in an instant, and they even cried bitterly on the spot regardless of their appearance.

During this period of time, they inquired, inquired about the fate of Qin Fan and Jin Fan, and felt that there was more bad luck than good luck.

And Zhu Houcong would not talk to the two of them, but continued to look at Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi, which made Kong Yinzhi's scalp tingle.

The surrounding Kong family members were already overjoyed, their eyes were full of greed, and when Zhu Houcong asked Kong Yinzhi to blame, he didn't have any intention to excuse Kong Yinzhi.

After all, in their minds, whenever Yan Shenggong made a mistake and was abolished, then the position of Yan Shenggong would be deposed from this line and transferred to another line.

Therefore, when Kong Yinzhi made a mistake, instead of feeling sad, they even felt extremely excited... Of course, they still had to put on a crying look on the surface.

"Yan Shenggong, are you convicted?"

Zhu Houcong looked at Kong Yinzhi calmly, and said to Kong Yinzhi, "Men of the Kong clan, can you convict me?"

"The guilty minister is guilty!"

Kong Yinzhi knelt on the ground, trembling, and kowtowed: "I... I am ashamed of my ancestors, ashamed of my majesty, my minister..."

Hearing Kong Yinzhi's words, Zhu Houcong slammed the book in his hand on his face, and angrily said: "You really deserve to die! But what you said is just a damn point!"

"I'm asking, are you a member of the Kong clan, can you be convicted of a crime?!"

He came here today to make a big fight, not for Kong Yinzhi, a mere Yansheng Gong.

It's to eliminate the entire Confucius family of Yan Sheng Gong!
It's time for the saint's legacy to come to an end.

　It will be on the shelves tomorrow, I hope everyone can support QAQ
