Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 266 Is To Break The Root Of The Kong Family
"Whether the imperial examination system is reformed or not is a matter for the imperial court, but we must let the imperial court see the attitude of the scholars all over the world, see the concern for the country and the people of the scholars all over the world, and see the heart of the scholars all over the world to defend the saint's morality! "

I have to say that Hou Fang is really old and cunning.

Almost quietly, the concept of the main contradiction was secretly replaced.

This was also discussed by the three of Liu Fulin before.

In fact, they also know that although these students are angry and dissatisfied with the court, they may not have the courage to fight against the court.

But after Hou Fang said this, he divided the obstruction of the imperial court's imperial examination system into two things, and the defense of the saint's orthodoxy.

In this case, the situation will be different.

This gave many students the illusion that they were only defending the sage's orthodoxy, not fighting against the imperial court. As a result, their courage naturally increased a lot.

At this moment, Zhang Hong stood up at the right time, raised his arms and shouted: "Defend the saint's orthodoxy, and preserve the seeds of sainthood!"

In an instant, the blood of countless students was aroused.

Qiqi followed suit and shouted: "Defend the saint's orthodoxy, keep the seeds of sainthood!"

"Defend the saint's orthodoxy and preserve the seeds of sainthood!"

"Defend the saint's orthodoxy and preserve the seeds of sainthood!"

Seeing this, Liu Fulin and the others were very pleased. The so-called law does not blame the public. According to their official experience, if the scholars in Zhejiang made such a big commotion, the court would definitely give in!
It's just that they didn't know that Mao Xiang, the commander of Jinyiwei, had already led two thousand Jinyiwei Tiqi into the territory of Zhejiang...

……

In the city of Hangzhou, there is a Jinguan Street, which is very prosperous, but the local people also call it Sanguan Street.

Because Hou Fang, the inspector of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Zhang Hong, the prefect of Hangzhou, and Liu Fulin, the governor of Zhejiang, all have their residences on this street.

On weekdays, the maids and servants of these three mansions go out on a rampage, with their noses up in the sky, extremely arrogant!

But today the street was silent.

Da da da!
With the sound of hoofbeats, two thousand Jinyi Weiti riders quickly filled the street. Mao Xiang rode in the lead, got off his horse, and landed in front of Liu Fulin's mansion first.

The servants of the Liu family who were arrogant and domineering in the past are now hiding behind the gate like quails with their necks curled up, looking out through the crack of the door with horror on their faces.

They are arrogant and true, but they are not stupid either. These people are wearing flying fish suits and carrying embroidered spring knives. This is Jinyiwei!
Standing on the steps, Mao Xiang looked up at the big characters "Zhejiang Governor's Mansion" written on the plaque above, couldn't help but sneered, and said softly: "Call the door!"

They said they were calling for the door, but a few Jinyiwei Xiaoqi stepped forward and kicked it. Amidst the exclamation, the door opened wide, and Mao Xiang waved his hand: "Copy!"

In an instant, the Jinyi guards rushed into Liu Fulin's mansion like wolves and tigers, and the sound of wailing and crying soon came through.

Mao Xiang also turned his head and went down the steps: "Go, go to the homes of Master Zhang and Master Hou!"

……

On Qixia Ridge, Liu Fulin was still promoting the bright future of Dongshan College hoarsely.

"Students, as long as you enter my Dongshan Academy, the court will..."

"Sir! Run! Run!"

Liu Fulin had just begun to speak, when he heard a voice coming from afar.

Liu Fulin was stunned for a moment, the voice was somewhat familiar, and when he looked at the person carefully, although his face was covered in blood and his expression was terrified, Liu Fulin recognized him already, isn't this his old housekeeper?

Heart sank, Liu Fulin grabbed the old butler who rushed over: "What's going on?"

The old butler said with a miserable face: "It's Jin Yiwei..."

"It's Mao Xiangte, the commander of Jinyiwei, who came to visit!"

Suddenly, a joking sound sounded, followed by the splashing of horseshoes and the sound of knives and guns being unsheathed!

"Quick, quick, surrounded, don't let anyone go!"

More than 2000 Tiqi quickly surrounded the crowd gathered here, and all the students were in an uproar.

"Jin Yiwei handles the case, everyone must not act rashly, and offenders will be killed!"

The hearts of Liu Fulin, Zhang Hong, and Hou Fang sank completely. Although they didn't know what happened, it was not a good thing!
Hou Fang took a deep breath: "Mao Xiang, what do you mean? We are waiting for Confucian scholars to gather here. What are you jackals and vultures who are cruel to loyal officials and people doing here? Go back quickly!"

Hou Fang's words seemed to give courage to many students, and they reprimanded them one by one.

"Yes! You wait for the jackals and vultures, how dare you be rude to the disciples of the saints!"

"We are here to discuss the study of saints, what are you doing here, you treacherous villain?"

"Retreat! Hurry up and retreat!"

Mao Xiang looked at the angry students around him in a funny way, and then looked at Liu Fulin, Zhang Hong, and Hou Fang who had uncertain faces on the opposite side. He first smiled, then shouted again, and raised a roll of yellow silk over his head: "Yes! decree!"

As soon as this remark came out, the scene was immediately silent, and everyone was at a loss for a moment. Don't look at them scolding the emperor and the court for being fierce, but when the time came, everyone's hearts showed fear.

It was Liu Fulin who reacted quickly: "The minister waits for the order!"

The scholars around hurriedly fell to their knees.

Mao Xiang didn't even look at them, and unfolded the imperial decree: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict says..."

"The four thieves, Hou Fang, Zhang Hong, Liu Fulin, and Huang Jiuyan, are deeply indebted to me, form cliques for personal gain, and try to commit crimes. Their crimes are unforgivable!"

"Now, these four thieves will be dismissed from office and seize their posts, and their family property will be confiscated. They will be punished as treasonous conspiracy, and the nine clans will be punished!"

boom!
The three of them felt a thunderbolt!

Liu Fulin yelled wildly: "Impossible! I don't believe it! I am a local official appointed by the imperial court, how could the emperor punish my nine clans..."

Suddenly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, he pointed at Mao Xiang and cursed: "Mao Xiang, you villain, it must be you who falsely preached the imperial decree, you are the one who falsely preached the imperial edict!"

As for Zhang Hong and Hou Fang, they were already paralyzed on the ground, but when they heard Liu Fulin's voice, they immediately got up frantically as if they were returning to the light.

With the last sliver of hope, he roared: "Yes, yes, yes! You must be falsely preaching the imperial decree!"

Mao Xiang smiled coldly and didn't speak. He just waved his hand and heard the sound of women and children crying.

The three of them suddenly had cold hands and feet, and their feet felt weak for a while.

But it turned out that it was Jinyiwei Xiaoqi who pressured the three people's respective family members.

Finished!

It's over now!

"Hehe, do you think that no one will know about the fact that they gather together in private to slander the imperial court, insult the Emperor, the Holy One and the King of England?"

Mao Xiang taunted: "I tell you, you colluded with Nankong and gathered students and students to fight against the imperial court and the new system of imperial examinations. The sage is very clear about it. You don't have any illusions. Tomorrow at three quarters at noon, the whole family will come together." Let's go to Huangquan!"

Suddenly, a scholar in white rushed in front of Mao Xiang: "Absurd! The three adults worry about the country and the people, defending the way of saints, what is the crime!"

Mao Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then asked amusedly, "Who are you?"

The white-clothed scholar said proudly, "Duan Zhixuan from Shaoxing is also a student from Dongshan College!"

This Duan Zhixuan was not really impassioned, but seeing that the court punished Liu Fulin's three people and nine clans, he thought that the court wanted to cut the mess quickly and did not want to cause more trouble.

If I stand up at this time and "speak for righteousness" for Liu Fulin and the other three, then I will not only complain for these three people, but also defend the interests of the scholars in Zhejiang and even the world who have studied the Four Books and Five Classics.

At that time, what a prestige it must have been...

Maybe you can become a new generation of scholar leaders!

As for saying that he is a student of Dongshan College, although he was not before, but after saying this, he is done!
At that time, the three people who initiated the establishment of Dongshan College are gone, and my reputation is high enough. If I can bring a few more Confucian scholars over to give me a strong momentum, I can't say that the head of Dongshan College will be my own!
Duan Zhixuan was also too greedy and obsessed with ghosts. He never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang would not let go of anyone related to Dongshan College.

Xu Shi was inspired by Duan Zhixuan's impassioned enthusiasm, and many students, their heads got hot, stood up one after another!

"Brother Duan is right. You are indeed a student of Dongshan College. From today, I am also a student of Dongshan College!"

"And I!"

"Me too!"

"Haha, such a big event, how can I be missed, from now on, I am also a student of Dongshan College!"

Suddenly, under Duan Zhixuan's "encouragement", these more than 3000 students joined Dongshan College one after another.

Mao Xiang showed ecstasy: "Are you all students of Dongshan College?"

"Yes, we all are!"

"it is good!"

Mao Xiang slapped his thigh violently: "Your Majesty has a decree that all students of Dongshan College will be sent to Yinzhou overseas to educate the descendants of Yin people!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the students in the audience were stunned.

Mao Xiang didn't care about these things, he waved his hand directly: "Take me!"

The students wanted to resist, but how could they be the opponents of Jin Yiwei with real swords and guns?

These [-] students first yelled and scolded endlessly, then cried and cried, and were soon caught by Jin Yiwei.

The most unlucky ones were the wealthy merchants and landlords who came here to make a connection, but they didn't run away, and they were arrested by Dongshan College's henchmen.

Mao Xiang looked at the group of students who were escorted away, he smiled and got on his horse: "Let's go to Quzhou!"

……

Quzhou, Zhejiang, South Kong.

Kong Mingde was in a daze in the ancestral hall.

He looked at the altar table in front of him, the layers of tablets, and thought a lot.

After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the ancestors traveled south with Gaozong Zhao Gou and settled in Quzhou ever since.

Later, the Yuan Dynasty ruled the world, and the ancestor Kublai Khan asked Kong Zhu, the head of the Kong family at that time and the 53rd generation grandson of Confucius, to move from Quzhou to the north, and carry him to Qufu to worship.

But at that time, Quzhou already had the tombs of the five generations of Kong, and the foundation of the Kong family had already been established in the south. If they moved north again, the foundation created by the ancestors of the five generations would be destroyed once again, which is a pity.

So Kong Zhu expressed that he really couldn't bear to abandon the tomb of his ancestors. If he didn't abandon the tomb of his ancestors' temple, it would be against the holy will...

Kong Zhu is willing to give up his dukedom of Yansheng to his brother in Qufu.

Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty praised Kong Zhu for "it is better to violate the honor than to violate the Tao, and he is the queen of the true sage."

This pressure lasted for more than a hundred years.

Until the Mongols were driven out of the Central Plains, Emperor Zhu ruled the world.

Because of his allegiance to Emperor Meng Yuan, the former Bei Kong was rejected by the current emperor and was labeled a traitor. Kong Mingde was very excited.

In his opinion, governing the world is always inseparable from the way of Confucius and Mencius. Whoever becomes the emperor must respect the blood of Confucius.

If Bei Kong falls, then we must support Nan Kong.

But there was a scene that stunned Kong Mingde. Emperor Zhu and His Royal Highness King Ying not only wanted to trample Bei Kong under their feet, but even wanted to completely bring down Confucius.

The imperial examination system was reformed, and the Four Books and Five Classics were not tested?

What this means, Kong Mingde can almost see at a glance, this is to completely cut off the roots of Kong's family!

At that time, what is Nan Kong, and what is Kong Mingde?
In desperation, I contacted Hou Fang and others who were also dissatisfied with the new imperial examination system, and encouraged them to form an academy to fight against the imperial court. This is also a test for the imperial court...

Of course, Kong Mingde dared not show his face.

As the patriarch of Nan Kong, he is responsible for the rise and fall of the Kong family. Once something happens to him, the Kong family will be finished!

Kong Mingde was full of thoughts, and for a moment he thought of Hou Fang, Zhang Hong and others who were planning to establish Dongshan College in Hangzhou, and they didn't know how things were going.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from Qianyuan, followed by the exclamation of men and women.

Kong Mingde frowned, and said in a low voice, "Come on! Go and see who is so unruly!"

"Hehe, there's no need to look, the official has already entered!"

As soon as Kong Mingde finished speaking, he heard a chuckle, followed by the sound of a large number of people rushing to the ground.

Looking at the man in front of him wearing a flying fish suit, with an embroidered spring knife on his waist, and an ivory token hanging from his waist.

Kong Mingde's voice was extremely bitter: "So it's Commander Mao!"

Mao Xiang chuckled: "Patriarch Kong, the matter between you and Hou Fang, Zhang Hong, Liu Fulin and others has happened. The emperor has a decree. Kong..."

"Lord Mao!"

Mao Xiang was taken aback, before he finished speaking, he saw Kong Mingde kneeling on the ground with a plop.

"The death of Kong Mingde's family is not a pity, but the Kong family is a blood descendant of a saint after all. I also ask Lord Mao to recite to His Majesty to leave a bloodline of the Kong family, so as not to make the saint unsacrificing!"

After finishing speaking, Kong Mingde kowtowed on the bluestone floor, and after a while, blood flowed profusely in his stool.

Mao Xiang shook his head: "The emperor has a decree that the nine clans of the Kong family will be exiled overseas in Yinzhou, and they will not return to Daming for eternity!"

Kong Mingde was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Mao Xiang in disbelief. He didn't even care about the blood flowing from his forehead to his mouth, and asked in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, won't Your Majesty kill my whole family? Even me?"

Mao Xiang didn't answer, but just sneered and said: "Your Majesty is as benevolent as heaven, the Kong family immediately summoned the clansmen, and set off in three days to go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment of the capital. Of course, the family still has to be confiscated!"

After saying that, with a wave of Mao Xiang's hand, those Jinyiwei elementary school rushed over like wolves and tigers, and began to rummage through their belongings...

For a moment, the huge Nankong was gloomy, and only Kong Mingde showed a relieved smile on his face...

OK!

Compared with the whole family alive, what is the search of the family property?
