Qiming 1158

Chapter 834 Kong Yu, are you taking me for dementia?

Su Yonglin's sudden remark almost didn't frighten Kong Yu to death.

Not to mention Kong Yu, even the musicians who played the music on the side were taken aback, and the wonderful sound of music came to an abrupt end.

The situation suddenly became sinister, and Kong Yu entered the hell mode again after relaxing for a while.

He immediately stood up from his seat, walked to Su Yonglin and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Kong... How could Mr. Kong be against Your Majesty? Mrs. Kong has always been loyal to Your Majesty, and has never had two hearts! It will never betray Your Majesty!"

Su Yonglin smiled.

"Really? Then you should be completely unaware of this matter, right?"

With that said, Su Yonglin took out a stack of paper from his arms and threw it in front of Kong Yu.

Kong Yu quickly picked up the papers, and his face turned pale at a glance.

The paper records the entire process and evidence of how Kong Fan, the owner of a branch of the Kong family, assisted corrupt officials to transport and sell the expensive building materials stolen from the Yellow River construction site, as well as the loss of state funds they caused to Daming.

Because of Su Yonglin's strict secrecy of the itinerary and his quick action, when Kong Yu learned that Su Yonglin was in Shandong and was personally directing the cleaning operation, it was not a few days before Su Yonglin arrived in Qufu.

Kong Yu didn't know the scale of the corruption case for the time being, nor did he know how many criminals Su Yonglin had dealt with. He only knew that the Kong family had committed a crime, so that His Majesty the Emperor personally came to Qufu to inquire.

He knew better that if there was no good explanation for this matter, Kong would be very sad to go to this level.

If this hurdle cannot be overcome, the Kong family will be in more danger. Basically, it is necessary to think about how to march in suffering in the future.

Originally, Kong's situation in Daming Kingdom became very delicate because of the reform of the imperial examination, not to mention the occurrence of this incident, which undoubtedly made Kong's situation worse.

After Kong Yu read all the content on the paper, he immediately made a decision to survive the gecko.

He immediately told Su Yonglin that the master Kong family had no knowledge of this matter. It was definitely decided by the branch family, and he did not let the master family know about it. If the master family knew about this matter, they would definitely not allow them to do so.

"Confucius has always been loyal to His Majesty, and never dared to have two hearts. Kong Fan's branch has been far away from the family for a long time. They live in business, and they refuse to accept the teachings of Confucius. They forget their ancestors. Let it fend for itself!"

Kong Yu immediately made the most decisive decision he could make.

Su Yonglin applauded his decisiveness, but also asked a rather interesting question.

"If I don't know about this matter, will you still expel this one from the ancestral temple?"

"Definitely! Such black sheep must not stay in the clan!"

Kong Yu's statement was very thorough.

So far, Su Yonglin can be considered to understand the determination of these guys to survive the ancestral temple.

But Su Yonglin would not stop and compromise.

He doesn't want to win, he wants to win twice.

To attack the Confucian family is to attack the increasingly rigid Confucianism, to destroy the lives of scholars and masters, and to destroy their sanctity. This is the first step in eradicating this idea.

So he can't stop.

"Do you know how I deal with the families who committed crimes and the families who helped them break the law?"

"I...I don't know."

"Officials are executed or imprisoned, their homes are searched, and those whose family members are not directly responsible can be exempted from death, but they must be moved to remote areas to perform hard labor, and [-]% of their monthly income will be used to repay the loss of state funds until they are repaid or their children are cut off. "

Su Yonglin looked at Kong Yu's increasingly terrifying eyes, and said with a smile, "Why are you so surprised? It's been a while since the Ming Law was promulgated, haven't you read it?"

Kong Yu said hurriedly: "I saw it, I saw it all, it's just... just..."

"I just didn't expect that I not only said that, but also did it, right?"

Su Yonglin laughed and said: "Since I have said it, I must do it, otherwise, what is the difference between not saying it? Kong Qing, I have no merits as a person, and I think my greatest merit is to do what I say. , as long as I say it, I will definitely do it, no matter how many difficulties and dangers there are."

Kong Yu's complexion was very ugly, and there were fine beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead, making his whole person look extremely unnatural.

After a while, Kong Yu opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, I know that the Kong clan has violated the law, and the situation is very serious. Therefore, I support Your Majesty's search and arrest of the Kong Fan family, and punish them severely in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty. It will not be tolerated! Let it be handled!"

"I will do this kind of thing naturally. What do I want your support to do? Or do you think you are against it, so I won't do it?"

Su Yonglin's tone suddenly became cold, and the smile on his face faded away quickly.

Kong Yan immediately realized that he had made a big mistake, and quickly apologized to Su Yonglin.

"The minister is speechless! The minister is speechless! The law is clear, and no one is allowed to talk about it!"

"It's good to know."

Su Yonglin nodded and sighed again: "Kong Qing, I have heard that your Kong family has received very generous treatment in Song and Jin countries, taxes are almost exempted, and you have a lot of land. How much? People are cultivating the fields for you, and you have already received such favors, why should you allow the branch to do business or even commit a crime?"

"Your Majesty, this... the Kong family did not intend to commit a crime. The reason why the Kong family did this was because there were so many people, many of whom opened their mouths to eat, and the income from operating the land was not enough to support the family's daily expenses..."

"Even if I don't know the income of Kong's farmland, I can guess a range, not enough to eat?"

Su Yonglin pointed to his head: "Kong Yu, are you taking me for dementia? Or do you say that everyone in the Kong family is a big eater who eats ten pounds of rice and two pounds of meat for a meal?"

"Your Majesty! No! No, Your Majesty! Your Majesty must never dare!"

Kong Yan immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty, it is clear that the management of the land is indeed enough for Kong's daily needs, but... but not enough for Kong's top and bottom management, Your Majesty!"

"Dick up and down?"

Su Yonglin showed an interested expression and asked, "What's the way to manage up and down? I feel like you are the only ones who take care of others, right? How can you need your Kongs to take care of others?"

"Your Majesty, it is clear that people in the official circles know the Kong family, but in their opinion, the Kong family is nothing more than a thousand-year-old family, especially the people of Jin, who are foreigners and don't pay attention to the Kong family at all.

They ask for bribes at every turn, but when the army crosses the border, they do not ask Kong for a large amount of bribes to keep their safety.

Kong Zheng knelt on the ground and told with tears and snot, as if he had suffered some great grievance.

Su Yonglin was not interested in this.

"so what?"

"what?"

"Kong Yu, you should think about it, Mr. Kong, in addition to Confucius and his elders who have indeed made great contributions, what other people and history does Mr. Kong have for the country and the people? Is there any? I don't. understood.

On the contrary, since Hanwu, no matter the situation changes, the Kong family will naturally stand still. Whoever becomes the emperor will not embarrass the Kong family. Compared with those so-called wealthy families who are easily wiped out, your Kong family is really too lucky, right?
The family has been passed down to this day, and there has been no major disaster. The dynasties and dynasties can leave you a place. The royal family is dead, and you are still alive. Shouldn't this be the best treatment for you? "

Su Yonglin looked at Kong Yu with a puzzled face, and said, "One ancestor, let your children and grandchildren benefit from it, and what the royal family of all dynasties can't do, what more do you want? What else do you have the qualifications to want? ?"
