At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 331
Outside the east gate of Qufu County, Jeju, there are crowds of people, regardless of the fact that the cold wind of the first month is still biting.

Everyone looked at the high platform in the center and started talking.

"I thought that no matter who became the emperor, the Kong family would still be the Tu emperor, but I didn't expect it to happen today."

"Confucius is naturally worthy of respect. People from the Kong family...hehe."

"First from the Jurchens, and then from the Mongols, they have no moral integrity, and they deserve to be punished by the court."

"With 15 acres of land and more than [-] servants, it really is the Kong family in Qufu."

"You should be sincere in worshiping the Holy Master, so what if it's just a city's property?"

"Relying on privileges to gain wealth and plunder is not the way of a saint to teach?"

"Indeed, those who take advantage of others' power are particularly hateful. Isn't it because the Kong family deliberately indulges in indulgence?"

Most of them are criticisms, and occasionally a word of defense attracts fierce criticism from everyone.

In Qufu, except for the Kong clan, most of them are full of resentment, so today the whole city of Qufu mobilized to support the old and the young to watch the excitement.

When the sun rose, the soldiers responsible for maintaining order shouted: "Make way, make way, get out of the way."

Censor Zhongcheng Lu Wengui was in front, followed by a mighty team.

More than 300 prisoners were escorted here, and their legs and feet were so weak that they couldn't walk, or their urine was smelly, or they couldn't help themselves because of crying, and so on.

"Thief, I never thought you would be here today."

"Kong He, it's your turn to be buried with Siniang today."

"Beast, let's see if you die!"

They are all members of the Kong family or servants, and they are all serious criminals, waiting to be sentenced and executed after a public trial.

If the soldiers on the left and right hadn't held hands to block the passage, the onlookers would have rushed up and beat the criminals to death.

He couldn't take action, so he could only curse in anger.

Lu Wengui came on stage and shouted: "Quiet, please give me the imperial edict."

The soldiers shouted, and the noise gradually subsided. When they realized that they were going to read the emperor's imperial edict, they all kneeled to the ground subconsciously.

Lu Wengui opened the imperial edict and read: "Emperor Zhao of the Song Dynasty issued an edict to punish the descendants of the Kong family.

Under the door, the rule said: The most holy teacher said, the descendants do not seek Xia, and the barbarians do not disturb the Chinese. It is not as good as the death of the Xias to have a monarch in the barbarians. .

Since ancient times, the Yi and Di people have not been able to control China, but the Jin used the Jurchens to occupy the north, and the Yuan used the Mongols to dominate China. The custom of fishy smell spread all over China, and Tianshi was disgusted with it.

However, the Kong family was dominated by the Hu people and changed several times to the Yi people. The clear meaning of the Bible may have been lost for thousands of years.

Hypothetically, the barbarians were Sinicized and regarded as the great masters of Confucianism, but they shaved their heads, talked about birds and animals, and led animals to eat people. How could they be regarded as nobles of China?

How can unworthy descendants and descendants be able to honor their ancestors?Now the privileges of the Kong family have been abolished and all of them have been demoted to the rank of common people.

I am saddened to hear that many of Kong's descendants are lawless.

The most holy teacher taught and educated the world, with benevolence as the foundation, virtue as the key, and not pretending to be anything. Kong's depravity has reached this point, what can I say?

Today, the censor Zhongcheng is in line with the law, but it is true, punish according to the law, neither indulgence nor wrongdoing, in order to rectify the name of the most holy teacher.

In order to show fairness, the people will supervise it, but if there are objections, the three departments will review it.

The above was announced internally and externally, and the Xian envoys heard about it, awakened the lawless people, and used it as an example for the great defense of Hua Yi. "

Lu Wengui closed the imperial edict and asked: "Fellow folks, do you have any objections?" "Long live your Majesty, long live long live~" the people shouted in unison.

Very good, no objection. Lu Wengui nodded slightly and shouted: "Bring someone to invade Konghe."

The three departments conducted a joint trial and repeated verification, and the evidence was conclusive. For example, Kong He beat a man to death in broad daylight, robbed his wife and molested him. The witnesses and physical evidence were complete, and the verdict was duly executed.

Robbery, bullying of men and women, gambling and killing...

Yin of Qufu County was an official of Yuanting. Confucius's wrongdoing of the law was not investigated. He was only deprived of the pseudo-Yuan Yansheng Duke's title and demoted to a commoner. He could not be resurrected unless he had great achievements.

Those who were publicly sentenced were all serious criminals, and those who were exiled to labor were not brought. What, the whole family must be unjustly liquidated?Learn about the crime of harboring!
The right to sweep tombs was deprived, and all sacrifices were taken over by the court.

"It's too cruel. After more than a hundred years, there will be no Kong family in the world."

"We deserve it. We should dig out all the fake gold and fake Yuan saints in Kong Lin, crush their bones and spread their ashes."

"To go so extreme is not the way to be kind and forgiving."

"Benevolence and forgiveness are not for those who forget their ancestors! The barbarians are still alive, especially the Tartars. How can we know that no foreigners will enter China in the future? Today we forgive the Kong family, but in the future everyone will regard Hu as their leader. Where is the orthodoxy?"

The dispute between these two scholars was actually a recurring one in the newspapers of the country and the dynasty.

All in all, Kong deserves what he deserves.

Of course, the emperor did not die personally, but instead of mentioning these criminal crimes, it is perfectly possible to say that the literati of later generations were traitors. "The Confucius did this."

The Kong family did indeed do this.

In Jin, Yuan, Qing, and Japan, moral integrity was all over the ground, and I couldn't even pick it up. I don't know how Confucius' coffin board was pressed down, but Master Confucius didn't jump out to clean up the bad things.

From sunrise to sunset, Lu Wengui's voice became hoarse as he read out all the charges.

"Cut~"

The tokens were thrown down, the soldiers pointed out the criminals, and the executioner swung the big knife, and immediately the heads rolled.

The criminal law of the country emphasizes killing with caution and less, so the death penalty is very rare, at least much less than those who die of illness in cells. The more than 300 people hacked to death today are equivalent to the number of death row prisoners in two years.

In short, the court's attitude is very firm: all the traitors in the Kong family have been killed, and others must be more careful.

For example, the Zhang family in Jinan.

The Jin people were tyrannical, and his family ancestor Zhang Rong rebelled. Later, he resisted the Mongols with a lone army for several years. When they surrendered, Temujin questioned him and said: "Shandong has a vast territory and a dense population, and all of them belong to your majesty. I cannot be independent. If there is still someone to rely on, Relying on it, I still don’t pay for it.”

Temujin admired Zhang Rong's boldness, held his back and said, "Zhen Sai Yin Batu'er", he was awarded the title of Jin Ziguanglu, the Minister of Shandong Province, and the Marshal of the Army and Horses Department, and he knew the affairs of Jinan Prefecture.

From then on, the Zhang family became a noble family in Jinan. Although Kublai Khan repeatedly weakened the privileges of the princes, the Zhang family was still a powerful existence.

Such a family has done countless illegal things, and of course it needs to be liquidated. Not only must they be convicted and sentenced, but the family property must also be confiscated.

Combined with the background of Zhang Hong's death in battle, others have to think about whether the Song Kingdom is settling accounts after the autumn, and think more deeply about what to do when the Song army is approaching the city.

It is true that the taxation system of the Song Dynasty was strict, and no officials or generals could be exempted from it. Even the monks and Taoists had to give half of the sesame oil money to the court. However, compared with the death of the family, paying taxes is not unacceptable.

At worst, it would be more satisfying to go to sea to build a country and dominate and prosper than to be a local overlord in Yuanting.

In short, as the news about the Kong family and the Zhang family spread, people on the Yuanting side of the border between the Song and Yuan Dynasties were secretly floating.

Of course, because the war in Yunnan was not over yet, the Song army was short of food and had to exercise restraint, while the Yuan army had a new defeat and needed to lick its wounds.

For a while, except for the Yunnan-Guizhou Song army that was suppressing the indigenous tribes, the Song and Yuan Dynasties temporarily stopped.
