Chapter 411 Another Usage of Saints

Zhu Gaochi was a little puzzled, looking at Zhu Yunxi who started calling people over to listen to the order, he was a little confused, why he suddenly chose to stop now that he had evidence against the Kong family.

Even though the box full of account books cannot cover the things that the Kong family has committed for so many years, if it is really said that the nine clans are to be implicated, there will still be great resistance and impossibility.

After all, a family of saints is enough for any court. When facing this problem, one must carefully consider the consequences.

Although Xie Jin and the others have been promoting the study of the mind for a few years, the Neo Confucianism is still mostly ingrained in the world.If the court is full of scholars with new ideas, it will take decades or even a hundred years of hard work.

The Kong family should not move easily.

Without more evidence of crime, it would be difficult to block the mouths of the people in the world, and it would be impossible to completely erase the influence of the Kong family in the court, and it would be impossible to suppress the memorial tablet of the Kong family in the hearts of the people in the world.

But to suppress and make the Confucian government submit, it can be done now.At least Kong Gongjian, the big family who inherited the title of Yansheng Duke, could not be willing to have his title taken away by others.

But now there is still no substantial action.

Zhu Gaochi watched a Jinyiwei banner officer under Zhang Hui rushing over, and couldn't help but look away.

"Your Highness."

Zhu Yunxi hummed, and said: "Yanzhou Prefecture and the counties under its jurisdiction, there are chief officials, let's arrest them, and arrest them here."

The flag officer clasped his fists: "This subordinate takes orders."

However, Zhu Yunxi continued: "Thinking about it, the Department of Wenxuan's selection of official vacancies on Henan Road has also left Beijing. It should be the canal. Then send some people to Xuzhou Mansion to wait, bring Gu's handwriting, and count half of them. people bring them here."

The flag officer paused and raised his head slightly.

This operation does not conform to the process.

Zhu Yunxie glanced at the banner officer: "As long as those who study politics with a background in mind."

The Jinyiwei Banner officer immediately bowed his head and cupped his fists: "This subordinate understands."

After answering the words, the flag officer bowed and waited for two breaths. He didn't hear any order anymore, then he folded his fists and bowed his head slowly backed away. Finally, he turned and walked away quickly.

Not far away, there was a roar.

Earth and rocks splashed, and the unaware guards rushed forward and surrounded Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi.

Not long after, Zhu Shangbing hurried over and spit out a few mouthfuls of dirt: "It's Zhang Zhiyuan and the others who are using gunpowder to blow up the trench."

Zhu Gaochi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and came all the way to Qufu, when he heard what Zhang Zhiyuan and the others had done, and now they are still doing it.

He laughed and scolded: "The ditch is almost wider than the canal!"

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Tell him, let's stop in the future, you won't need these anymore. If you keep doing this, he won't be able to go into battle to kill the enemy in the future. Just ask him to dig trenches and build camps for the entire Ming army. "

As they talked all the way, they arrived outside the wooden wall erected by the trench dug by Zhang Zhiyuan and his men.

Zhu Yunxi glanced twice, then turned to look at Xiaopang next to him: "Don't you want to know how I will deal with the Kong family?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "Replace the officials of the Yousi Department of Yanzhou Prefecture, and strictly control the influence of the Kong family in the local area?"

Xiaopang was silent for a while, after all, the influence of the Kong family is invisible.

Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "Eat food one bite at a time, and do things one by one. Both Confucius and Huaxia are sages who have contributed to enlightening the country, and no one can deny it. But in the future, the words of the sages will mean the meaning on paper. The Six Classics annotate me, and I annotate the Six Classics, how cumbersome.

There are so many truths in the world, what is the biggest truth?
It is to make the people richer and richer, so that everyone can have a full stomach.This is the greatest truth in the world. What the sages say, there is less explanation.Now in this world, has anyone seen a saint?

hum.

To do this, the Kong family has to do it. "

Literati are shameless, and the most shameless thing is that they can extract the words of sages from various favorable angles to prove their own shit.

If you are poor all day, what is the truth of a sentence said by the sages, and countless disputes have arisen because of this, it is better to think about how to feed one more person.

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head slightly: "If you do this, the plaque of the Kong family will fall off."

"Isn't this exactly what we want?" Zhu Yunxi looked at Xiaopang lightly.

See Xiaopang does not speak.

Zhu Yunxi continued: "This is just one of them. How to use the Confucian family in the future. Some time ago, Gao Yangzhi came to the secret concert. Jiaozhi Road and Zhancheng Road are new lands, and the general is still marching westward. The education of the country is lacking there. Gao Yangzhi believes that although a family like the Confucian family has untold crimes, if they are sent there, they can still do their best for the country. I deeply agree."

"You want to distribute the people of the Kong family to the south?" Zhu Gaochi was a little surprised.

Zhu Yunxie nodded and said: "Not only the distribution, but also the land and acres of Yanzhou Prefecture have to be checked again. Hundreds of thousands of people are all tenants of the Confucian family. If things go on like this, where will the imperial court collect taxes? To give those self-cultivating farmers a constant increase apportionment?"

Except for beheading all the heads of the Kong family, nothing will be spared, and it will be used to death by the Kong family.

However, Zhu Yunxi did not end the topic.

He continued: "The last time I was in Yingtian, I got the sweet potatoes from that Europa man named Fan Chong. I looked at these Europa people, and now I am devout and respectful when I come here, but there is something wrong in my eyes." Coveting. The sea ship is more like a warship, so we must guard against it."

Zhu Gaochi let out a cry, not knowing why such a long and distant matter was involved: "We are thousands of miles away from Europa, even if they have such wolfish ambitions, I'm afraid they will not be able to achieve it."

Zhu Yunxi snorted: "Did you forget the steam engine that the supervisor made? According to news, Zhang Ergong and the people from the Longjiang Shipyard fought several verbal battles, and finally installed the steam engine into the warship. If all goes well, we may need more Japanese workers to mine.”

Why do you need more Japanese workers to mine if it goes well?
Because the steam engine needs to burn coal.

Zhu Gaochi also reacted at this time: "I understand what you mean. I am developing, and the Europa people will also be developing. When they are stronger than me, they will definitely find ways to get over."

It must have reached a certain point in history, Zhu Yunxi thought silently in his heart.

And they will come.

unless.

"The power of the Ming Dynasty needs to set foot on the land of Europa first!" Zhu Yunxi said in a deep voice: "The Kong family is very good. As the blood of a saint, it has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is enough to look down on the whole of Europa. Maybe we can create some troubles there..."

If those white-skinned pigs dared to kill Kong's family, he would wish for it, and Daming had enough reason to vent his anger.

If nothing happens, let Neo Confucianism flourish in the new land.

Step by step, pull out the stubborn disease entangled in Daming's body, it is best to throw it out from a distance.

"This is a long-term plan. If the Confucian family is moved now, there will be disputes in the court." Zhu Gaochi still added.

Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly: "Chaotang? When the matter of the Kong family is temporarily settled, it's time to go back to Beijing and settle accounts with those people."

After speaking, he raised his feet and walked towards Zhang Zhiyuan's Chinese army camp.

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly beckoned Zhu Shangbing to follow.

……

Confucian Mansion, because of Zhu Yunxie's sentence that the title of Yansheng Duke changed, it has already caused a thousand waves.

The Dafang has been passed down for so many years and has been honored from generation to generation.Although the other houses are also members of the Confucian family, they also receive monthly money, and they can study and get fame, but they have no other purpose other than that.

It's different now.

The emperor's grandson didn't mean to implicate the nine Kong clans, but he showed his intention to change the title of Duke Yansheng.

Inside the Confucian mansion, those people who had been silent in the past also had active thoughts.

Princes and generals, I would rather be kind!
If you don't fight at this time, it will affect future generations!
"There is no hope for the branch of the Southern Sect. If there was, the imperial court would not have attacked Duke Yansheng here in the early years."

In the Confucian mansion, the front is already buzzing about the death of the third grandpa.In the back mansion, several elders from a certain room of the Kong family gathered together and chatted.

"After all the calculations, it still has to fall on our house in the end. If you really want to take a chance, you have to be crushed by the big house."

"What the grandson wants, I still need to think about it."

"Master Santai died today, if this matter goes wrong, it will become an excuse for them to seize the throne."

In the room, several people looked dignified.

But anyone who decides to fight is a road of no return, and there is no chance of turning back.

"Anyway, it's like this now. Anyone with a discerning eye can see why Zhang Zhiyuan didn't go to suppress the rebellion, but came to Qufu with soldiers and horses. Among them, there must have been the emperor's grandson's instruction."

"In the chaotic times of the former Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Do you remember the things that the mansion did secretly? This half of the Yanzhou mansion is really unknown to the Jinyiwei. It is nothing more than the holy name of the ancestors and the group of scholars in the world protecting them."

"Now the emperor's grandson is determined to do this. His majesty and the prince have always trusted him. This matter probably will not be eased."

There was another silence in the room.

In fact, they are very clear about where the contradictions are.Like the entire Ming Dynasty, everyone knew where the contradictions were, but it was very difficult to correct them, because no one was willing to give up the benefits they had already obtained.

After a while, there was another sound in the room.

"Since the beginning of the Zhejiang Province, the imperial court has implemented the policy of distributing the tenements to the mu, and the officials and gentry have paid the grain together. It has been several years now. The king of Qin and the six land tax affairs have been implemented for several years, and the results are half and half, but it also shows the determination of the imperial court."

"This time the emperor's grandson is in Henan Province. It can be said that everyone has changed from top to bottom, and they have vigorously checked the fields. In the middle of the court, there is now a tax office. You should understand that the court is not willing to indulge local power anymore, let alone let it go. I wait for others to compete with the court's income."

"..."

"Then we have to give up?"

"Why did you give up? We will discuss and negotiate at that time, please agree."

"Consultation?"

"Have you ever heard about the Huai You nobles? The land of those families has been exchanged to the Jiaozhi Road, and the number has increased tenfold."

"I don't want to wait ten times, but I have two times, or I can change it as it is. Nowadays, there are so many seagoing ships sailing on the vast sea, why worry about not being there?"

"I'm afraid the grandson will not allow it."

Some people showed hesitation, feeling that now that the emperor and grandson of the Ming Dynasty had already called out the matter of the Zhu Jiu Clan, they were still looking forward to whether they could change the land of the Kong family to the south like those Huaiyou nobles after they became the masters of the family.

"If the grandson needs it, I will do my best to do it."

"How about the inheritance of thousands of generations, how about the thousand-year-old family, our honor and disgrace is the most important thing."

In the room, the people in this room gradually became clear about what to do next.

And in the entire mansion of the Confucian Mansion, this scene was staged one after another.

Inside the main house, Kong Gongjian was also busy.

The clan elders and clansmen in Dafang had already gathered together. The sounds of funeral affairs in the distance and the cries of the third grandpa’s room echoed in the Confucian mansion, but it was difficult for Kong Gongjian and others to pay attention to the past.

Right now, maintaining the status of the big house is the most important thing.

"What does Taisun want most?"

Kong Gongjian walked back and forth in the hall and asked in a low voice.

"Perhaps... donate all the fields in the clan over the years except for the court's gift?"

Kong Gongjian stopped in his tracks and turned his eyes from side to side: "Record this item, and the land bestowed by the imperial court must also be recorded. If you want to do it, you must not keep any of it. Let's see how the imperial court decides."

Kong Gongjian's younger brother took a note and wrote down this one.

Another elder of the big house said: "In recent years, Xie Jin, a scholar of the Imperial Academy and a member of the Wenhua Palace, often presided over the study of the mind in Yingtian, and the newspapers also published articles on the study of the mind from time to time. And Xie Jin and His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun heard that The personal relationship is very good, and there is a tendency to hide the residence. Why don't you write an article in this house and agree with your heart?"

Kong Gongjian stopped walking back and forth, and looked back at the senior elder who spoke.

This is a big house elder of his father's generation.

Kong Gongjian pondered for a while, then frowned and said, "Xin Xue... If so, would the Confucianism side have any opinion on my family? After all, my family has had a deep relationship with the Confucianism since the Song Dynasty."

"Since everything in the field can be discarded, in order to protect the overall situation, what about Neo Confucianism? The sage came from my family, and the psychology and Neo Confucianism are all under Confucianism. How can there be any difference?"

Kong Gongjian shook his head and smiled: "Since that's the case, let's write it down too."

After finishing speaking, Kong Gongjian looked at his younger brother beside him, and saw that he had started to write with a pen, so he looked at the elders and elders around him.

"Everyone, you are all Zhaowen's dear uncles and elders, as well as your dear brothers. But what better way can you call me the big house of the Kong family, so that you don't fall into disaster because of this?"

"In the family... the third uncle's family still has a girl who has not yet left the court. She is of the right age. Can you please send her to the Taisun's mansion?"

"The third uncle's family, whether... my nephew has no other intentions, but just thinks that it is not enough... my nephew thinks that brother Zhaowen still has a few younger sisters who are just of the right age and have not yet left the cabinet."

"But that has already been promised! Even if the marriage is ruined, how can you marry the grandson?"

"There is still a younger sister, but is it too young now..."

"Over there, I first asked the palace's order to keep it at home, and then sent it to the Taisun's mansion when it was too late."

Kong Gongjian sighed softly: "Why are you here...why are you here..."

His face was full of sadness and solemnity.

But in the end, he still looked at his younger brother who was waiting with a pen.

"Let's write this down as well..."
