Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 43
Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi finally understood at this time.

Knowing that the group of people in front of him is not Tian Jianxiubu, but the southward withdrawal team of His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of his initial series of flattery to Li Zicheng and the evidence that he prepared to surrender and become a slave were all discovered by His Majesty the current Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Even, in front of the emperor's Zhu Youjian, he scolded Zhu Youjian as a faint king.

Kong Yinzhi was already in a cold sweat.

I regret it in my heart.

Kong Yinzhi wanted to eat Kong Zhenyu, the magistrate of Qufu County, in his heart.

Because it was Kong Zhenyu who kept saying that the intruder had come, and even killed the magistrate of Yanzhou.

He, Kong Yinzhi, believed it was true.

But now I didn't expect that it was not the robbers who came to Qufu, but His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!

Kong Yinzhi knelt down without saying a word.

Fatty's body was shaking non-stop, and he slammed his head on the ground, causing the whole floor to shake.

"My minister is guilty, my minister is guilty, Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Kong Yinzhi knew that he had no choice but to beg for mercy.

Kong Zhenyu also kowtowed to plead guilty.

Zhu Youjian knocked on the desk, feeling very sad about today's scene:
"I didn't intend to do anything to the saint's family at first, and even just wanted to beat the autumn wind, raise some money, and confer the title of Lord Yan Shenggong as a prince, but I didn't expect that this most holy master would have such a descendant, who not only surrendered They are really opportunistic slaves of the three surnames. But it seems that your Kong family has been used to being slaves of the three surnames since ancient times, and the low nature has a long history."

The more Zhu Youjian said this, the more shame Kong Yinzhi sweated on his old face, but he still couldn't help but flattered him and said: "Yes, what your majesty said is that our Kong family is indeed cheap, and the Kong family is willing to be your majesty's lackey. Rao Kong's family has a way out, hehe!"

Kong Yinzhi's shameless behavior with no bottom line is nothing to the modern Zhu Youjian.

After all, he has not dabbled in Confucian education.

But Shi Kefa and other officials are different. The more humble Kong Yinzhi is, the more they hate him.

Especially now that he knelt down directly in front of Zhu Youjian and said that he was willing to be a house slave, it made Shi Kefa and others blush and thick neck.

They never thought that the Confucian family, which is highly respected by scholars, would look like this.

Zhu Youjian did not directly announce how to deal with the Confucian people.

In his view, since the Kong family was supported by the group of officials who were born as scholar-bureaucrats in front of him.

Then let Shi Kefa and other civil officials decide how to deal with Kong Yinzhi and others.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian just asked: "What do you think of Lie as a minister? How do you think these culprits who betrayed the master and abandoned the king will only make the saint's family stink for thousands of years?"

Shi Kefa stood up first, and glared at Kong Yinzhi. If Zhu Youjian was not here, he would even have the intention of killing Kong Yinzhi.

"Hang yourself! Let him hang himself. His family and country are ruined and his social order is chaotic. It turned out that it was all because of the sage's family who did not observe loyalty and filial piety. Such people who have lost the face of the sage ancestors, why don't they hang themselves? Thank the most sage ancestors!"

Shi Kefa still wants to force Kong Yinzhi to complete the ideal result that Shi Kefa envisioned for Kong Yinzhi.

That is, Kong Yinzhi should choose to hang himself to die when the thief broke Qufu.

And Li Mingrui, the governor of Huaiyang, also deeply agreed: "Yes, he should be allowed to hang himself. Since he is a descendant of a saint, and since it is us and other fake thieves who broke Qufu, he should hang himself!"

"Not only does he need to hang himself, but as a descendant of a saint, he should be martyred!"

When Chen Chunde, the censor of the left deputy capital, said this, Kong Yinzhi turned pale with fright, and continued to kowtow to beg for mercy.

And the officials present all echoed: "Yes, the whole family hanged themselves!"

"Hang yourself all over the house!"

All the officials shouted loudly, expressing their inner demands strongly.

Most of these officials who followed Zhu Youjian to the south were idealists. Now that Kong Yinzhi's behavior broke their beliefs, they could only force Kong Yinzhi to complete their ideal behavior.

This is a group of people who are ruthless to themselves, so ruthless that they can be buried for Daming, so it is impossible to expect them to be kind to people like Kong Yinzhi who betrayed their beliefs.

Zhu Youjian decided to give these collapsed civil servants a window to vent.

After all, the old beliefs need to be destroyed by themselves, so that they can establish a true worship of their own king.

"Quintessence, let the lovers personally execute it!"

With that said, Zhu Youjian sent orders to He Xin, the imperial horse supervisor, and Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyiwei commander, to be only responsible for vigilance and maintaining order.

Jin Yiwei and the Second Guards Army did not participate in the punishment of the Kong family.

How to execute the traitors and confiscate the property of the Confucian family is up to these hundreds of civil servants themselves.

Zhu Youjian wants to see how people will retaliate against those who betray their beliefs.

Who knows.

Zhu Youjian's will.

Shi Kefa and Li Mingrui will directly drag Kong Yinzhi up: "Get up! Come with us!"

Kong Yinzhi cried with snot and tears all over his face: "Masters, where are you going?"

"Go to the tomb of the most holy teacher!"

……

North of Qufu City.

Konglin Confucius Cemetery.

Shi Kefa pursed his lips tightly, and put the rope around Kong Yinzhi's neck.

Here, Li Mingrui hung the other end of the rope on an apricot tree, but because Kong Yinzhi was too fat, he couldn't pull it.

Li Mingrui had to call more than a dozen young officials to help.

A group of civil officials worked together to slowly pull Kong Yinzhi up without the help of generals. ,

Kong Yinzhi, who kept chanting "I don't want to die", was pulled up like this, and his mouth opened wide.

But at this time, the branch creaked and broke.

Kong Yinzhi fell and groaned, and then quickly climbed up to Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive me, our Kong family can serve your great cause."

Zhu Youjian hasn't finished speaking yet.

Shi Kefa kicked Kong Yinzhi in the face: "Bastard, why do I need you, a scumbag like you, who doesn't distinguish between Han and Hu? What's the use of it except to make my disciples of Confucius and Mencius lose face!"

After Shi Kefa said that, he ordered people to change Kong Yinzhi to another big tree.

More than a dozen civil servants struggled to pull.

Kong Yinzhi was hung up.

Kong Yinzhi kicked his legs a few times, then swallowed his breath, and hung in front of the statue of Confucius.

At the same time, Kong Zhenyu was also forced to hang herself in the main hall of the county yamen by the crazy civil servants.

Then, Shi Kefa and others broke into the Confucian mansion, and when they saw the adult males of the Confucian family, they forced themselves to hang themselves.

There were rebels, and a group of red-eyed civil servants even killed them with knives.

Shi Kefa, Li Mingrui and others led a group of people to rummage around in the Confucian mansion, and even found a secret passage.

But it was discovered that there were dozens of imprisoned women in the secret passage.

Finally, after asking the servants, it turned out that Kong Yinzhi had never had any children. He suspected that his wives and concubines could not produce children, and feared that too many concubines would affect his reputation.

Seeing this, the civil servants became even more angry, and couldn't help but directly killed them in the Confucian mansion.

For a moment, the entire Confucian Mansion was killed until blood flowed like rivers, and a large number of servants and maidservants who were trapped in the Confucian Mansion ran out.

Li Ruolian also had to ask Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty, what happened to these civil servants, they are more ruthless than those of our Jinyiwei. Some men from the Kong family were tortured to death."

"Once people's beliefs are destroyed, they will naturally become more insane, not to mention cultural people who live by faith, once they become crazy, they will be even more afraid!"

Zhu Youjian said.
