Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 220 Execution in front of Confucian Temple

Kong Yinzhi didn't expect Kong Wenshi to appear again, and he could see a trace of anger in Kong Wenshi's eyes.

However, the current him doesn't care if Kong Wenshi regrets taking the blame for himself, he is still smiling.

Kong Wenshi made a new testimony in court, telling how Kong Yinzhi found himself and hoped that he could perjure him.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao asked Kong Yinzhi again: "Kong Yinzhi, what Kong Wenshi said is true, did you ask him to give you false testimony?"

"No!" Kong Yinzhi replied bluntly.

Zhu Youxiao asked Xiang He Shangfei again: "What did he answer?"

He Shangxuan stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, he replied yes. Kong Yinzhi admitted that he had made Kong Wenshi perjure, and the old minister heard it clearly."

"What about you, can you hear what Kong Yinzhi answered?" Zhu Youxiao asked other officials and gentry again.

Other officials and gentry also hurriedly replied: Back to Your Majesty, Kong Yinzhi answered yes, and the ministers and others could hear clearly. "

Seeing this, Kong Yinzhi couldn't laugh anymore, and even couldn't help feeling angry. These officials and gentry who were very respectful to him in the past are now turning black and white, pointing a deer into a horse.

"You, you bunch of snobs who play with the wind, I'm pissed!"

Kong Yinzhi couldn't help but spit.

But Zhu Youxiao was not angry because of this, but also felt a little satisfied, because he was satisfied with the performance of these officials and gentry.

"Since Kong Wenshi said that what he gave was perjury, and you, Kong Yinzhi, admitted it, I don't need to re-trial." As he said, Zhu Youxiao suddenly pulled his face down: "You are evil, not only do you not want to repent, On the contrary, colluding with the officials of the DPRK and China, wanting to do wrong things, intending to murder me, this is an unforgivable crime!"

"Kong Wenshi!" Zhu Youxiao yelled again as he spoke.

Kong Wenshi stood up and said, "The criminals are here!"

"Recite to Kong Yinzhi the Eighteen Indictments of the Northern School of Confucianism that you have made." After Zhu Youxiao said, Kong Wenshi unfolded a roll of ink scrolls he had written earlier and read it: "The Northern School of Confucius The family is originally a descendant of a different species with mixed blood, and Kong Yinzhi is an unorthodox descendant of Confucianism, but he blasphemed the descendants of the saints and stole the position of Duke Yansheng. This is one of his crimes; The government wants to overthrow Daming and murder His Majesty, the crime is extremely heinous, the second crime..."

Kong Yinzhi was horrified by the crimes listed by Kong Wenshi one by one. He couldn't help pointing at Kong Wenshi: "You, you forget your ancestors and seek glory, how dare you slander your ancestors like this!"

Kong Yinzhi was so angry not because of these crimes, but because Kong Wenshi, a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, had been kicked out of his clan by him, but his reputation in Shilin was still there, and everyone in Shilin Knowing that Kong Wenshi is an outstanding representative of the Northern School of Confucianism, but now that Kong Wenshi personally denies the orthodoxy of the Northern School of Confucianism, it means that he will not only be slaughtered by the body, but will also be completely reduced to an ordinary or even inferior A lowly family that is not as good as ordinary people's homes.

"Kong Yinzhi, what you said is wrong. I have been expelled from the clan by you. From now on, I am no longer the descendant of the Northern Sect of Confucius!"

It was the first time that Kong Wenshi talked to the former Yan Shenggong like this, and Kong Yinzhi couldn't pick up the words, and didn't know what to say.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao slapped the gavel directly, and shouted angrily: "It really makes me very angry. A family with a bad blood has actually usurped Yansheng for hundreds of years. It makes people spread this message all over the world. All the archives of the Northern School of Confucianism were destroyed, all the written books and books about the Northern School of Confucianism were destroyed, and all the inscriptions were smashed! At the same time, scholars, officials and gentry above the cadet level were ordered to submit a memorial to criticize the Northern School of Confucianism. Hypocrisy will be screened by the Ministry of Rites, and those who criticize those who are brilliant can be directly appointed as officials."

As soon as Kong Yinzhi heard Zhu Youxiao's words, he also understood that Zhu Youxiao wanted to use this to completely deny his entire Northern School of Confucianism.

In this way, my own lineage was exterminated, and the other Confucian sects of the Northern Sect would also bear a lifetime of stigma. From then on, they could not hold their heads up not only in front of the Southern Sect, but also among the scholars and common people in the world.

Therefore, Kong Yinzhi finally couldn't restrain his anger, and suddenly rushed towards Zhu Youxiao: "Zhu Youxiao, I want to kill you!"

Before Kong Yinzhi rushed over, he was kicked back by Zhu Youjian.

"Kong Yinzhi intends to rebel, deceives the emperor, and is cruel by nature. If he strikes, he will be Ling Chi. He will pay [-] knives. His son and his father are guilty of the same crime. They will be executed immediately!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand as he said: "Pull him down!" Bar."

Just as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Kong Xingkai, with a ferocious face, suddenly yelled, "Wait a minute!"

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao asked, "What else do you have to say to die?"

Kong Xingkai glared at Zhu Youxiao, and clenched his fists: "I lured you into the secret room that day, did you already know that I was going to kill you, and you deliberately let me catch you, just to complete the fact that my family rebelled? no?"

Zhu Youxiao didn't answer, and didn't want to answer, but just waved: "Pull it down!"

Kong Yinzhi, Kong Xingxuan, and Kong Xingkai were dragged down in this way, and then they were put into a net. After squeezing hard and protruding into thick pieces, the executioner took a sip of wine and took himself The special knives started to work on these three people.

Soon, the wailing of Kong Yinzhi, father and son came from the entire Confucian temple.

He Shangxuan and other Shandong officials and gentry all looked pale, and they did not dare to look at the execution scene in front of them.

The Confucian forces in Shandong were completely eradicated, and Kong Yinzhi, a great landlord who relied on Manchurianism in later generations and still sat on Yanshenggong, completely disappeared from this world from this moment on.

Kong Wenshi's call to expose the crimes of the Northern School of Confucianism was immediately published by major newspapers, but the call to arms not only signed the name of Kong Wenshi, but also signed the names of Kong Shangqian and Kong Zhiqi.Although Kong Shanggan was dead, what he announced to the outside world was that this call to action had been drawn up before his death, so the outside world had to believe it.

Kong Wenshi and others jointly denied the orthodoxy of the Northern School of Confucianism, which immediately caused an uproar in public opinion, but it can be regarded as a certainty for this matter.

And then, Zhu Youxiao appointed Kong Zhiqi as a holy doctor, and after being treated as a fifth-rank official, he buried Kong Shangqian, the son of Kong Zhiqi, and gave him the title of sixth-rank Chengde Lang. This is a complete recognition of the Southern Zong orthodox status.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can understand that Yan Shenggong was abolished and replaced by Fengsheng Dafu, which was intended to lower the transcendent status of Confucianism, and today Fengsheng Dafu is just a widowed old man. Afterwards, the descendants of the Confucian family will completely end when they want to enjoy privileges after relying on themselves as Confucius.

Once the Kong family fell, Shandong's official and gentry payment of food was also smoothly implemented. After that, other officials and gentry did not dare to violate the will of blocking His Majesty, and fully cooperated with Governor Yuan Keli.

Moreover, because a large number of local officials in Shandong were executed during the rebellion, such as the chief envoys Yan Tingzhuo and Luo Maoji were directly beheaded, resulting in a power vacuum in the middle and upper-level bureaucrats in Shandong. With the acquiescence and support of Zhu Youxiao, Yuan Keli promoted a large number of grassroots prefectural and county officials with practical ability to join the chief minister and inspector, so that Yuan Keli's career was less hindered, and the reform went more smoothly.

In addition, Tang Shixing, a member of the royalist party, served as the censor, which made it more convenient. Not long after Zhu Youxue left Shandong, the entire land in Shandong began to be remeasured.
