Qiming 1158

Chapter 848 Daming is afraid there will be a big disaster!
Su Yonglin gave an order, and a guard outside the hall stepped forward to take down Kong Zheng and drag him out of the meeting room.

It was only at this time that Kong Zheng reacted and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty! This minister has been wronged! Your Majesty! The Kong family has been wronged! There is no such thing! The Kong family will not rebel, Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty!!!"

Kong Zheng's face was full of tears and snot, his face was distorted, and he almost shouted out the sound of a dolphin.

He kept struggling, struggling desperately, punching and kicking the guards who came to arrest him, but was dragged away by the strong guards.

What Su Yonglin has already decided will never change.

Of course, it is not that no one intercedes for him.

The Shandong bosses who were present were shocked when Kong Zheng fell from power, and quickly knelt down and made a request to Su Yonglin.

"Your Majesty! The Kong family has received the kindness of the country, and will never make a rebellion! Please also ask Your Majesty to investigate!"

"Your Majesty, Kong Butang has been an official for two years and has been conscientious and conscientious. He has not violated any law or discipline. He is very loyal to His Majesty. This matter... must be a misunderstanding!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive Kong Butang's oversight. He... is a descendant of the Kong family after all!"

Cao Kai, Zhou Jiang, and Chen Jichang, the three leaders of the Shandong clan, knelt on the ground together to excuse Kong Zheng, hoping that Su Yonglin would not kill him, but wanted a "clear investigation". There must be some "misunderstanding" in this.

In this regard, Su Yonglin laughed instead of anger.

"Misunderstanding? What is a misunderstanding? You tell me what is a misunderstanding? What is a misunderstanding about hiding armor and crossbows at home?"

"When the salt factory was closed down, there were still private soldiers attacking judicial officials with weapons. This is a misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Can you explain it to me?"

"Mingcha? You mean that I was oversighted, and I was wrong about this, right? What you said is right, right?"

Su Yonglin's question was like a barrage of cannons, leaving these three speechless.

The three wanted to say something, but in the face of this solid evidence, they couldn't even make a sophistry, let alone they didn't have the guts to attack Su Yonglin directly [oversight].

Selling illicit salt and hiding ordnance at home is basically a crime for the whole family to reopen in any dynasty, and it is not negotiable.

but……

After all, it was the Kong clan in Qufu!
Inherit the family of Confucius from the previous year!

Even if His Majesty reforms the imperial examinations today, then... that is the Kong family after all!Even in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were paralleled, but they never devalued the status of the Confucius!

But now the emperor is actually going to kill people, to destroy the Kong family!
It's horrible isn't it?
Although very frightened, Cao Kai decided to speak up and fight for Kong.

"Your Majesty, the Kong family has indeed committed a crime, but the Kong family in Qufu is not an ordinary family. It worships Confucius and is a direct descendant of Confucius. The hope of scholars in the world suddenly destroys the Kong family, which may arouse the fear of scholars all over the world. I hope your majesty think twice!"

Watching Cao Kai speak, although Zhou Jiang was also very scared, he still decided to speak up.

"Your Majesty, it has been a thousand years since the emperors of successive dynasties pursued the title and honored Confucius. It has been like this for thousands of years. The sudden change and the destruction of the Confucius family have had a huge impact on the people's hearts of the world. I am afraid it will affect the stability of Daming. Please also Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Chen Jichang saw that the other two had spoken, and he had to make a statement.

"Your Majesty, although the Kong family has indeed committed a crime, it is enough for His Majesty to deprive them of their official titles and titles, and it is also possible to seize their land and property, but the Kong family cannot be destroyed. Their status in the hearts of the world is truly extraordinary, Your Majesty!"

The three expressed their opinions together, hoping that Su Yonglin could change the way he dealt with it and forgive Kong.

The reason is nothing more than to make the world feel fear, thus affecting the stability of the Ming Dynasty, and even causing turmoil and the like.

In this regard, Su Yonglin said that he was very puzzled.

"People in the world... I have a question in my heart for a long time, and I have always felt very puzzled. Can you answer it for me?"

The three raised their heads and looked at Su Yonglin timidly.

"In your heart, who are the people in the world? Do you mean the scholars in the world, or just all the people in the world?"

When Su Yonglin asked this question, many officials, including the three, had different ideas.

But only these three people need to answer.

The three of you look at me, I look at you, and together they give an answer.

"Naturally, all the people in the world..."

"Are many people literate in the world?"

"This……"

The three were stopped by Su Yonglin's question.

"If the common people in the world are illiterate, how will they know how high the status of the sage Confucius is? How will they know what the sage Confucius means? They don't even know the word, and they haven't read the book. What influence does the sage Confucius have on them? Will they be frightened by the collapse of the Kong clan? Will there be unrest? Can you explain it to me?"

Su Yonglin sneered and looked at the three people with dull faces.

The three were speechless.

"Can't you answer it? That's enough. You all admit that Sage Kong has little influence on the people of the world. The people who have the most influence on them are the officials closest to them, or their main family, who can't fight against Sage Kong. In one piece, what influence does it have?

The so-called people in the world are actually all the scholars who have read the Confucian classics and claim to be disciples of saints. These people are what you call the people of the world. How many people are there?How many people are there in the world? "

Su Yonglin sneered and said, "Let me tell you, there are only a million scholars who are familiar with Confucian classics, but how many people are there in the world? 6000 million! Tell me, are there more people with millions of scholars, or 6000 million people?"

When Cao Kai heard that Su Yonglin's words were not right, he became anxious and quickly defended.

"But Your Majesty, those ignorant idiots can't govern the world at all. Only literate scholars can govern the world. Therefore, in all dynasties and dynasties, there is no one who does not pay attention to scholars! Your Majesty, please also look into the world! There's going to be a big disaster!"

"I don't understand what great calamity is coming."

Su Yonglin smiled and looked at Yelu Chenghui: "Chenghui, tell me, what big disaster is coming? Why can't I figure it out?"

Yelu Chenghui's expression did not change, and he was very respectful.

"Go back to Your Majesty, I don't know."

"Oh, that Yuan Yi, tell me, what big disaster is coming?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is mighty and mighty in the sky, the Ming army is rich in food, and its reputation is illustrious. No one in the world knows it, no one knows it, and the minister does not know what the calamity is."

Yelu Yuanyi was also very calm.

Su Yonglin nodded and asked Huo Jianbai again.

"Huo Qing, tell me, what big disaster will come?"

Huo Jianbai smiled slightly.

"Da Ming is prosperous and prosperous under His Majesty's rule. There are calamities that ministers can't see, but isn't the calamity of this group of bereaved dogs right in front of you?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Su Yonglin patted Huo Jianbai on the shoulder and agreed with what he said.

Cao Kai, who was kneeling on the ground, was in a hurry. Looking at the schadenfreude of the foreign clan and Yan Yun clan, new hatred and old hatred flooded into his heart. Stacked papers, holding them in both hands.

"Your Majesty! Minister Cao Kai, impeach Huo Jianbai, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Han Shiling, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Yelu Yixian, the member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Yelu Yixing, the member of the Ministry of Finance, Sun Yixin, the member of the Ministry of Shangshu, and Yelu Hu Dugu, the head of the Ministry of Shangshu!"

One stone caused a thousand waves, and the Yanyun officials and foreign officials who had just gloated over the misfortune changed their expressions, and they were shocked to see Cao Kai kneeling on the ground and holding up a stack of papers with both hands.
