Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 190 Unbelievable
Zhu Youxiao finally understood that the old man dared to believe that his daughter was missing, but the government offices at all levels refused to accept his case, so he had to break into his holy car.

Although Zhu Youxiao is a high-ranking emperor, he saw that people came to the door to call for grievances in person, and he said very clearly that no one except himself was willing to take care of his business, so he had to take advantage of the heavy rain. Having to stay here to ask about this matter can be regarded as passing some boring time, and by the way, diverting the attention from the inner entanglement caused by just killing Yuan Chonghuan.

Zhu Youxiao ordered someone to bring the old man into the cabin, and asked Wang Chengen to change him into a dry suit, and gave him half a bowl of ginger soup before asking about the old man's place of origin, name and other information.

Although the old man said that this is the current emperor, who is as mysterious as the gods in the sky, but the so-called ignorant is fearless, he is eager to find a girl, but he replied quite calmly:
"The grass man is Kong Zhiqi, a villager in Shangguan Village, Qufu. He has only one daughter. Because it snowed heavily the day she was born, she was named Kong Xueer. We, father and daughter, have lived together for more than ten years, and neither of us has ever left the other. Until the third day of April this year, because of the birthday of Kong Taibao’s uncle, 0 day laborers needed needlework, and Caomin entrusted his daughter to go. He wanted to earn some money to save enough for the dowry. I can suffer less grievances, but who knows that no one will see her again after this trip."

"Kong Taibao?" Zhu Youxiao glanced at Li Mingrui.

Li Mingrui smiled knowingly, then cupped his hands and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Kong Yanzhi, the current Duke of Kong Yan, was conferred the title of Prince Taibao by you in the seventh year of Tianqi? His name is Kong Yinying, and the common people in his hometown call him Uncle, which is why he is the eldest son of the late Kong Yan Shenggong Kong Shangtan, and it is estimated that he is already forty-six."

When Li Mingrui mentioned Kong Yinzhi, Zhu Youxiao nodded as if he had realized something.

Of course he knew about Kong Yinzhi. This descendant of Confucius showed the ugly face of the aristocratic family in the history of the late Ming Dynasty. Of course, this is also a trick they can keep, but any family with a little faith cannot learn it. of.

In history, Kong Yinzhi surrendered to Li Zicheng as soon as Li Zicheng entered Shandong and had not yet entered Qufu, and even set up a tablet of Emperor Dashun Yongchang. When the Qing Dynasty entered the capital, he immediately removed the tablet and asked for a shave. Hair, and even ordered the whole family to shave their hair, which shows that the ability to control the wind is at its peak.

But the key point is that he actually appointed him the crown prince and Taibao. For the first time, Zhu Youxiao felt that he had done something very wrong.

"How is this person's reputation in Qu0fu?"

Zhu Youxiao asked Li Mingrui, Li Mingrui didn't target Zhu Youxiao's implication, but he was realistic:
"Yan Shenggong is highly respected in this Shandong Province. He helped the poor, helped the poor, and helped the students. The good deeds he did are innumerable. When I went to Beijing to take the exam, I was poor and had no money to live in a hotel. It was because of his support that I was not accepted. Frozen to death in the wilderness, and now His Majesty wants to implement the policy of government and gentry paying grain together, so beneficial to the country, if my ministers are right, Duke Kong will be the first to agree."

"okay!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that Li Mingrui was already a cabinet minister, and he still couldn't escape the views of scholars. He thought too simply of the reform of the integration of officials and gentry, and interrupted Li Mingrui's words with a wave of his hand, and Li Mingrui had no choice but to shut up.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao asked Wu Jin again.

Although Wu Jin is the head of Dongchang, he is mainly responsible for the intelligence of Gyeonggi and Jiangnan, so he doesn't know the exact situation in Shandong, especially Qufu.

Wu Jin had no choice but to smile wryly and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there have been no reports of any evil deeds from this Kong Yan Sheng Gong in recent years. The local officials have a deep relationship with him, but there is nothing excessive."

Zhu Youxiao saw that he couldn't get what he wanted from Li Mingrui and Wu Jin, so he asked the old man: "Old man, have the uncle you mentioned and that man named Kong Yinzhi ever done something harmful?" thing."

"Hey, Your Majesty, the grassroots dare not hide it from you. These two masters really deserve to be the descendants of Confucius!"

The old man gave Zhu Youxiao a thumbs up when he said that, and said: "These two masters are kind-hearted and kind-hearted people, and the wages they pay are enough. If you don't beat and scold the servants, otherwise I will I wouldn't let my daughter go to work for his family, wouldn't I?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded, he could see that Kong Yinzhi was not as simple as he imagined, otherwise he wouldn't let so many people speak for him.

Whether it is the high-ranking elders or the common people at the bottom, even Dongchang, which specializes in collecting black materials, has not found his evil deeds.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't believe the sharp contrast between the historical facts he knew and the information he learned in reality. He didn't ask the old man what to say next, but ordered someone to take him down to rest, and asked him not to leave for the time being. within their own control.

Then, Zhu Youxiao suddenly called Wu Jin and Wang Chengen, and ordered Wang Chengen to quickly get a set of clothes worn by ordinary gentry, and then let Wu go in to prepare the horse.

After the heavy rain stopped, the three of them dressed up in disguise, and drove to Qufufu with a few Dongchang fans who were also in modest clothes.

"Your Majesty, this place is not far from Qufufu. Are we really going there overnight?" Wang Chengen couldn't help asking.

Zhu Youxiao slammed his whip and said: "If you don't find out the reality of the Confucian family, I don't feel relieved after all. This is related to how to promote the integration of officials and gentry in Shandong Province."

Seeing what Zhu Youxiao said, Wang Chengen couldn't say much.

After a long time, Zhu Youxiao and others came to the border of Qufu.

After dismounting from his horse, Zhu Youxiao looked around, but the houses looked like houses, and dogs and chickens heard about each other. When he entered Qufu County, he could see some ragged people, and most of them were scrambling to run to a street.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help stopping one person and asked, "Dare to ask, what's the good thing ahead that makes you so anxious?"

"As soon as you hear that your accent is from the capital, you don't know. Every spring and summer famine, Master Kong's family will donate grain and rice, and every household can receive two buckets."

When this man said that, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing: "Master Kong is a kind-hearted man."

"Isn't it? He is a descendant of Confucius, he is charitable. The bridge under your feet was also donated by him. Also, look at the row of houses over there, all of which he gave to the city. As for the house built by the orphan, this Qufu city can have no magistrate, but it can’t live without Master Kong.”

What this man said made Zhu Youxiao's heart sink.

Zhu Youxiao then went to other places, and even asked the tenants of the Kong family, but the result was still the same. Kong Yinzhi had a good reputation in Zhihua Township.

Could it be that I made a preconceived mistake?Maybe even though Kong Yinzhi is an idiot, his moral character is not bad?
When Zhu Youxiao walked to the gate of Kong Shengsheng's mansion, he did see that the Kong family was respectfully distributing food with the neighbors there, which made him even more unbelievable.
