First Minister of Ming Dynasty

In order to arrange the enthronement ceremony, Zhang Ximeng was already exhausted and exhausted. Even if there are so many people below to help, there are still too many things that need Zhang Ximeng to decide and coordinate.

Seeing that the ceremony was approaching, he had to rehearse and adjust again and again, for fear of making any mistakes.

In addition, there are Lao Zhu's grand ceremony, the imperial palace, the imperial street for reviewing people and horses, the stage for performances, the martyr's shrine for sacrificing soldiers and soldiers, and the imperial temple for ancestor worship... These buildings must be checked and accepted by Zhang Ximeng, and he is busy with his feet not touching the ground. Similar to a spinning top.

"Zhang Xiang, Mrs. Kong from Qufu, and Mrs. Zhang from Jinan, want to meet together. I don't know how Zhang Xiang will arrange it?" Song Lian asked in a low voice.

It is really interesting that these two families come from the line of Duke Yansheng, who has always been a loyal minister of Dayuan. The former Maogui Northern Expedition, and the Dadu Yuan Emperor was almost scared to move the capital. At this time, Duke Yansheng Kong Kejian stood up resolutely and shouted loudly: "The emperor should live and die together with the Sheji ancestral temple, how can it be neglected?"

Yuan Ting was able to keep Dadu, and this one was still a man of merit.

However, with Mao Gui entrenched in Shandong for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang won the Hukou victory again, and was ready to proclaim himself emperor in Yingtian, with the slogan of expelling the captives and restoring China.

This Duke Yan couldn't sit still and had to send his son Kong Xi to school. As for Kong Kejian, this one still maintained the few reserved manners of Duke Yan and did not come in person. Of course, it does not rule out that he is not sure whether Zhu Yuanzhang can rule the world, so let his son come to explore the road first, so that he has room to maneuver.

As expected of an old wall, this business is nothing to say.

Zhang Ximeng rolled his eyelids and sneered: "He is a descendant of Shenggong. If he can coexist with Yuan Ting, I may still be in awe of three points. What are they coming over now? Do they need to change their masters?"

Song Lian grinned wryly, "Zhang Xiang, the Confucian family is indeed unbearable, but the lineage of the sages of the Yan Shenggong represents the Confucianism after all, the old master Confucius has been blessed for thousands of years, and the emperors of all dynasties have treated the Confucian family with courtesy. I think it is necessary to weigh one or two?"

Zhang Ximeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Song Xueshi, do you think we need to treat Confucius with courtesy?"

Song Lian was stunned, don't you need it?

Perhaps, after all, according to Zhang Ximeng's division method, Confucianism is the era of serving the emperor and the scholar-officials in the world. Now that era is over, the living fossil of the Confucian family should be solved.

But the problem is that this is Zhang Ximeng's proposition after all. Although more and more people in the Zhu family's army agree with this view, but the world is so big, there are still too many people in the Confucianism, and the Kong family still has a huge influence. There will be endless troubles…

"Zhang Xiang, I, I thought that at this festive juncture, I still have to treat the Kong family a little more politely. If they are really ignorant, it is their own fault."

Zhang Ximeng was not surprised when he heard Song Lian's words. Even if he changed his mind, the foundation of decades of development had already been engraved into his bone marrow, so how could it be easily eliminated?

It's just Song Lian's words, but it's unintentionally confusing the fact that Zhang Ximeng was talking about treating Confucius with courtesy, while he was talking about treating the Confucius family with courtesy. Is there any difference?

It doesn't seem to be small.

"Xueshi Song, please call Kong Xixue, I just took the time to have a word with him."

Song Lian agreed, but he paused again, "Zhang Xiang, Zhang Shi is also here, isn't it?"

"Ms. Zhang?"

Zhang Ximeng suddenly laughed, "Why haven't I heard of it? All the cats and dogs want to see me? No!"

Song Lian was at a loss for words. Although Zhang Ximeng's family suffered, the Zhang family did not help them. Now that Zhang Ximeng is prosperous, they are a little bit aggressive, shameless and shameless... But we should also have a flexible moral bottom line. Two words out!

"What? Song Xueshi, I don't understand what I said? I told the Zhang family to go back to where they came from. You don't understand? Then I have to ask the Gongwei Division to take them away."

Song Lian was shocked, and Zhang Xiang was really angry, "I, I'll talk now."

Song Lian hurriedly went, Zhang Ximeng's face was dark, and he sorted out his thoughts a little. Not long after, someone led a young man to Zhang Ximeng.

Speaking of young people, he is actually much older than Zhang Ximeng.

"Meet Zhang Xianggong at Kong Xixue."

Zhang Ximeng looked at him and said, "Where's Ling Zun? He doesn't want to come?"

Kong Xixue said calmly: "My father is old and frail, he is sick and cannot come here, I hope Zhang Xianghaihan!"

"It turns out that he was sick and couldn't come here. I thought he was going to live and die with Jiangshan Sheji!"

Kong Xixue was stunned for a moment, his face paled by three points, and when he spoke, his back was even more humbly curved.

"Zhang Xiang is above, King Wu ascended the throne and became emperor, the world returns to heart, and all the people look forward to it. Zhang Xiang is also a great scholar and sage of the world, assisting the Holy Master, and creating a dynasty. It is really gratifying to congratulate people. The name of the country is Daming, which means the sun and the moon, and Zhang Xiang is like Beichen, who lives above the nine heavens. It just so happens that Zhang Xiang is also from Shandong, and it is really honorable to have such a villager!"

I cried and said he betrayed you, said it in a dream

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "As expected of a descendant of saints, he is able to praise people, which makes me very useful and comfortable. It's just that you say that we are villagers, and you are honored, but I don't agree."

Gu Ting

Kong Xixue was stunned for a moment, and his heart was beating wildly. Zhang Ximeng's words, with a thunderbolt and artillery gun at the beginning, was obviously angered. This level is not easy to pass!

"Zhang Xiang is above, I have absolutely no other intentions, I just think that Zhang Xiang's virtuousness can be compared with famous ministers of all dynasties, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is all from the heart and can be learned from the sun!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "Don't be so nervous, I didn't say myself, I just said that there are many people, but they may not be willing to be villagers with your Qufu Kong family!"

"what!"

Kong Xixue was immediately stunned. We are descendants of saints. It is your blessing to be a fellow countryman with us. Who else is so ignorant?

Although he has a very low attitude here, he is even willing to crawl at Zhang Ximeng's feet. But in the face of matters involving the dignity of the family, he still did not dare to neglect.

The Kong family has maintained for so many years, relying on face, no matter when, this face is the most important!

"Zhang Xiang, I'm so stupid, I really don't understand, please ask Zhang Xiang to make it clear!"

"Explicit? Then I said, the huge Shandong has fattened the Confucius family, and how many people have lost weight? The Confucius family has stretched for thousands of years. There are piles of bones behind them. I don't know how many people have been nourished with blood and tears, and they have ended up with their families destroyed and their children and grandchildren... Do you think so?"

Swish!

Cold sweat dripped down Kong Xixue's temples.

Do you need to look straight for it, and get rid of the old bottom of their Confucius family?

"Zhang Xianggong, I, I think there is some misunderstanding here? Our Confucius has always respected the teachings of the ancestors, cultivated and read the family, and took care of the village. It has always been like this for generations. Slander the Kong family, please, please also ask Zhang Xiangmingjian!"

"Oh! It turned out to be slander?"

Zhang Ximeng suddenly realized, "Since this is the case, I may have misunderstood."

"It must be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Kong Xixue hurriedly gritted his teeth.

Zhang Ximeng laughed again, "That being said, I have heard quite a few rumors! And some of them don't seem to be rumors, such as the great master of Confucianism of Yuan Shizu. As far as I know, Kublai Khan didn't even understand Chinese. , how can I be proficient in Confucian classics? How can I become a great master again?"

Kong Xixue was sweating profusely, and he shivered.

Before the Mongols swept the world, the Confucian family in Qufu sent Zhang Dehui and Yuan Haowen to visit Kublai Khan, and asked him to be the "Great Master of Confucianism".

Kublai Khan was overjoyed, accepted it with joy, and returned it with courtesy: he spared the Confucian government and the Confucian household's troops, and all the Confucian scholars cheered and cheered.

Five words, let Emperor Dayuan grant me wealth and honor for generations, I am a Confucian university proficient in human nature...

Zhang Ximeng's old story is brought up again, and when this scandal is brought out, Kong Xixue has a thick skin and can't bear it!

"Zhang Xiang, this matter still makes sense."

"How do you say it? I'd like to hear your opinion." Zhang Ximeng pulled a chair and sat down, smiling unabated, posing an attitude of humbly asking for advice.

Kong Xixue pondered for a long time, thinking over and over again, and then he gathered his courage and said: "Returning to Zhang Xianggong's words, people are gifted by heaven, and they are born to know it. Although Yuan Shizu did not understand Chinese, he was born with destiny and came into being, sweeping the world. Created a dynasty, relied on Confucian scholars, and ruled the country with benevolence. He reigned for more than 30 years, the country was strong, the territory was vast, and the ancestors of the Yuan Dynasty were under three generations. "

When Kong Xixue said this, he actually admired his own wit a little bit, and he finally got it right.

Zhang Ximeng smiled unabated, "This also makes sense, then look at the current Yuan court, what's going on?"

"This...the current emperor of the Yuan court does not exercise benevolent governance, the world is boiling, the monarch and holy lord, and the people are punished, the great Yuan Jiangshan, the wind and rain are shaking, I, I thought that the fate of the day is not there, and the death of the Great Yuan is just around the corner!"

"Okay! This is a good word. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Zhang Ximeng praised without hesitation, "Your vision is indeed very good... But I want to ask for advice. Can you abandon the Great Yuan Dynasty and look for a new owner?"

"This..." Kong Xixue was already panicking, unable to resist, "Zhang Xiang, good birds choose wood, and worthy ministers choose masters...all are done by wise men, there is nothing wrong!"

Zhang Ximeng sighed and nodded, "Your reasoning is really powerful, I have been persuaded... Just one thing, you are the Kong family!"

"The Kong family, is there any difference between the Kong family?" Kong Xixue's heart is getting colder and colder!

"Of course, the Confucius family is different. To your predecessors and elders, you must pay attention to a word of filial piety, and you must not violate your predecessors' loyalty to the Yuan court. To the country, you must pay attention to a word of loyalty, from the beginning to the end, how can you change your mind in the middle? "

Zhang Ximeng patted Kong Xixue's shoulder and sighed: "So I said that everyone else can become a gentleman and leopard, but since it is the Kong family, don't lose the face of the ancestors, although there are not many left. Thank you for booking the monthly pass. I urge you to follow the Yuan emperor of Dadu, from the beginning to the end, Confucius said Chengren, Meng said righteousness. People say that loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, but you only need to die for Dayuan, both loyalty and filial piety, the best of both worlds ,right?"
