According to legend, in the 19th year of the Qin Dynasty, Qin defeated Zhao and obtained He's Bi.
After unifying the world, Ying Zheng was proclaimed the First Emperor and ordered Li Si to carve the jade seal of the country in small seal script on Heshibi. On the front were engraved the eight insect-bird seal characters "Ordered by Heaven to live long and prosperous", which was engraved by Sun Shou, a jade worker.
So far, this jade seal has become a token of orthodox emperors of all dynasties.
"Destined to live long and prosperous by God...impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Song Zhaolin helped Chen Baoliang up from the ground, his expression became more solemn. Chen Baoliang kept chanting these eight words in his mouth. After looking at each other and Song Zhaolin, the two of them instantly agreed.
If there really was such a seal, no matter whether it was true or false, this case would be considered a revelation, and they would not have the guts to proceed to trial.
Chen Baoliang asked Jia Cong, "Deputy Ambassador Jia, is what Xia Jiang said true? Do you have that seal in your hand?"
Jia Cong nodded, and Chen Baoliang's hand holding the gavel trembled.
"However... His Royal Highness King Zhongshun has quickly sent the seal to the capital. His Majesty sent someone to inform me of the authenticity of the seal. Mr. Chen, rest assured that the seal is fake. Back then, the Divine Turtle presented the biography The national jade seal was given to Taizu Emperor Gao, and he was destined to return to Xia. Mr. Chen is familiar with history books, so he must know this."
Jia Cong's words not only did not reassure Chen Baoliang, but made him even more worried.
Are you kidding me? Who doesn’t know that the Divine Turtle presented the seal to fool the people? How come the Imperial Jade Seal, which had been missing for hundreds of years, was given by the Divine Turtle to Emperor Taizu Gao by such a coincidence?
If this seal is actually kept by the Kong family, as a family with a thousand years of history, then the authenticity of this seal is much higher than that obtained by Emperor Taizu Gao.
Chen Baoliang tried his best to calm down, showing a hint of bitterness.
"Deputy Envoy Jia, the people and things involved in this case are no longer triable by a mere third-rank inspector. Should we petition the imperial court and have the three divisions try it at the same time?"
When Xia Jiang heard what Chen Baoliang said, a look of joy instantly appeared on his face. But what Jia Cong said next brought him back to his original form.
Just listen to Jia Cong say: "Master Chen seems to have mistaken the priorities. The first thing to be tried today is the case of Xia Jiang digging graves, destroying forests and disturbing the holy mausoleum. The second one is the case of Xia Jiang's accusation that Yan Shenggong's Mansion was involved in occupation. Cases of military settlements and civilian land, private maritime activities, smuggling of maritime trade, and collusion with pirates and bandits."...
Jia Cong looked dissatisfied at Chen Baoliang: "In order to allow Mr. Chen to successfully try the case, I even took out the imperial order. Does Mr. Chen think that the Third Division is bigger than your Majesty? The trial of Xia Jiang's case is over, Mr. Chen Is it time to try the case of Duke Yan Sheng’s Mansion? You can’t favor one over the other!”
"But regardless of whether the seal is true or false, this already involves rebellion..."
Jia Cong directly interrupted Chen Baoliang: "This is all related to rebellion. Mr. Chen, why don't you hurry up and find out who is plotting rebellion? Your Majesty happened to have sent three thousand forbidden troops over, and I took the opportunity to kill the rebels and thieves who wanted to rebel. eradicated."
hiss! This killer...
Kong Renqiao could not help but shudder when Jia Cong said these murderous words.
Things had gotten serious, and he, an idle member of Yanshenggong Mansion, couldn't handle it.
Chen Baoliang knew that today's case had to be tried even if he didn't want to try it. He couldn't help complaining: "But how can we go to trial? Xia Jiang said that the seal was obtained by Kong Lin. Except for people from the Internal Affairs Department, he didn't even have personal identification. Only Based on these account books and letters, according to the Daxia Law, it is impossible to conclude the case."
Jia Cong chuckled: "The evidence is not enough, then keep looking. Why doesn't Mr. Chen understand this? In my opinion, Mr. Chen doesn't understand, but is deliberately trying to shirk the blame. I remember that Xia Jiang was in the middle of the search in Konglin. They must have been detained privately by people from Duke Yan Sheng’s Mansion..."
hiss! This madman...
Chen Baoliang almost jumped up and pointed at Jia Cong and cursed. Xia Jiang, an eunuch, dared to dig in that place. How dare he, a Confucian man, have the guts?
Chen Baoliang had a dark face and asked sullenly: "According to Xia Jiang's words, this seal was obtained by Kong Lin. We can't dig up Kong Lin's 100,000 tombs one by one and continue searching, right?"
"This is what you said yourself, Mr. Chen. It has nothing to do with me."
Jia Cong grinned at Chen Baoliang and asked him to
I almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
be cheated! This guy is so good at giving birth to girls and cheating!
Xia Jiang seemed to have found a way out, and smiled sinisterly: "The people from the Internal Affairs Department did find out something, which is quite interesting. The Holy Land of Confucius is full of filth and evil. I wonder if Mr. Chen dares to dig it out. It can surprise Mr. Chen.”
Before Chen Baoliang could respond, Kong Renqiao immediately shouted loudly and pointed at Xia Jiang and cursed: "The eunuch is so outrageous. Kong Lin is the resting place of the saints. One hundred thousand sages rest here, how can we disturb him!"
"Kong Jiazi, what are you so anxious about? We are just telling the truth. The archives of the Internal Affairs Department are in Qufu. I remember the whole story clearly. This is not nonsense."
Xia Jiang seemed to enjoy the pleasure of suppressing his opponent and put the question back to Chen Baoliang and Song Zhaolin.
If we don't dig it out, this case will not go to trial, and the emperor's order will be difficult to disobey.
Just dig it, Kong Lin's place is too special. If they really take action, they are worried that they will be drowned by the saliva of scholars all over the world.
There was a buzz of people and discussions outside the hall. The few jurors in the hall were rarely angry. Instead, they sat aside with solemn expressions and looked coldly at Kong Renqiao, who was attending the hall on behalf of Duke Yan Sheng's Mansion.
Kong Renqiao reacted like this. Could it be that Duke Yansheng's mansion really dared to use Kong Lin as a backdrop to cover up his family's crimes?
That is the Holy Land of Confucianism, how dare they? So brave, so brave. Scholars all over the world dare not take action against the Kong family?
"dig!"
Bang!
Since the start of the trial, Kong Xiang'an has been watching with cold eyes. It was not until Xia Jiang mentioned that he dug up such sacred artifacts as the national jade seal in Kong Lin that the old man finally changed his expression.
Chen Baoliang and Song Zhaolin did not dare to speak. The surprise in the eyes of the onlookers turned into anger. Kong Renqiao's legs began to tremble, and the sound of discussion outside the hall filled the hall.
Kong Xiang'an suddenly changed from his former good-natured attitude, his eyes slightly widened with anger, and he shouted coldly: "Go and dig now. I have become an unfilial descendant today, digging up graves. If there is anyone in the Kong family who dares to risk the world's disapproval and take away the sages and ancestors, To cover up my sins, I will hold a three-foot sword and use his head to apologize to my ancestors and everyone in the world!"
Kong Renqiao panicked. He couldn't believe that Kong Xiang'an would be so decisive. He rolled around and tried to hug Kong Xiang'an's thigh to persuade him: "Uncle..."
"Go away! You know exactly why I didn't receive the money and food from Duke Yansheng's Mansion back then. I thought Duke Yansheng's Mansion was dirty, but I didn't expect you to be so bold!"
Kong Xiangan was so angry that he kicked Kong Renqiao to the ground.
His arms were shaking. He walked to Xia Jiang and stared into Xia Jiang's eyes coldly: "Xia Jiang, if Kong Lin can't dig out the evidence you said, I will kill you a thousand times even if I risk my life." They will be cut into pieces to comfort the spirits of our ancestors."
Faced with the threat, Xia Jiang sneered: "I dare not say anything else. Just wait and see. Mr. Lao may be the only clean person in the Kong family in Qufu. It's really ridiculous. The descendants of the saint actually hide their sins in the house." The land of saints..."
There is already an uproar in Qufu County, and the development of today's case is far beyond everyone's imagination.
The Forbidden Army has surrounded the Yanshenggong Mansion tightly, especially the Kong Lin Department. All the Kong family members who were originally responsible for guarding the Holy Land were driven out by the Forbidden Army. No one is allowed to approach until the case is investigated.
The restaurants and teahouses in the county town, and even the Qinlou and Chuguan, were filled with scholars arguing endlessly.
Liu Ke, who was in the elegant teahouse, was so shocked that he dropped the folding fan in his hand to the ground when he heard that there would be evidence of digging up 100,000 acres of Konglin in the future.
"Is Jia Xiaosan crazy? Is that place movable? Old man, hurry up and call him over..."
Fubao was also surprised, but he still advised: "Master Xiao Jia has always been very resourceful, and with Mr. Qingteng by his side, it is impossible for him to do something ridiculous. How can we really dig up each of Confucius's 100,000 tombs?" Yi Laonu thinks that Xia Jiang may have specific information, it depends on how the Kong family responds."
Dong dong dong...
The door to the private room opened, and a letter was delivered by the soldiers.
Liu Ke took it open and took a look, then he felt relieved.
"Xu Qingteng is indeed amazing, even considering these things
All things considered. "
Liu Ke handed the letter in his hand to Fubao and told him: "If this king writes a letter, you can take him south immediately to Jinling to look for Jia Lian. Let him keep an eye on the Zhen family, and as soon as he receives news from this king Let’s take action. This time, I will capture Duke Yansheng’s Mansion and the Zhen Family in one fell swoop!”
There was a lot of wailing outside Konglin. After receiving the news, the Kong family and a large number of scholars in Confucian clothes gathered outside Konglin, knelt down and howled in mulberry and hemp.
If he was feeling sad and angry about the excavation of graves that was about to begin, Jia Cong really didn't see many people who were really sad.
Some people even used the cry and howl to attack the defense line. The Forbidden Army would not tolerate this group of people, and they would slap them when they picked up the scabbard.
With a solemn expression on his face, Kong Xiangan, dressed in a purple robe and sacrificial robe, knelt step by step and walked slowly towards Kong Lin from outside the ceremony gate.
Everyone was frightened by Kong Xiang'an's solemnity and slowly fell silent.
Xu Jin tied a piece of mulberry hemp on both himself and Jia Cong, kicked his buttocks, and whispered, "Hurry up and follow me. Just do what the teacher does."
I saw Xu Jin following Kong Xiangan, kneeling step by step, and walking slowly and reverently in the direction of Kong Lin.
Jia Cong's ears moved, and the crying and cursing around him seemed to be much quieter. As expected of Liu Yuanlang, this move is truly a stroke of genius...
Chen Baoliang, Song Zhaolin and other Shandong officials on the side did not expect Xu Jin and Jia Cong to do this.
One by one, he ordered the servants around him: Where is Sang Ma? Hurry and find it for me...
Kong Xiangan sincerely knelt down to worship his ancestors and sages, so pious that his forehead was bruised.
After arriving at Konglin, looking at the mausoleums in front of me, my sadness reached its peak.
"Kong Xiang'an, the unfilial descendant, has no choice but to dig graves today. A hundred years from now, he will not be able to enter his ancestral graves or ancestral halls. He will become a lonely ghost to atone for today's sins."
Dong dong dong...
Jia Cong couldn't help but touch his forehead, and his respect for Kong Xiang'an was even greater in his heart.
This is a pure person, a noble person, a responsible person, but also a pitiful person.
In the current era, not entering ancestral graves or ancestral halls is an extremely serious punishment, alas...
It was Yan Shenggong's fault, so why should he bear this sin?
"Dig it!"
"Mr. Huaili, are you okay?"
When Kong Xiangan stood up, his originally straight back seemed to be bent a bit, and he turned to look at Jia Cong.
His eyes dimmed, and he laughed at himself and said, "I'm afraid Vice Envoy Jia has already forgotten what happened today. Let's dig it out, dig it out, dig it out as soon as possible, so that our ancestors and sages can stay away from the stench."
Xu Jin said nothing, and Jia Cong just sighed, then waved his hand, and the imperial army began to mark the place to be dug.
Of course, before excavation, the imperial army placed incense, candles, and paper money in front of each grave. This was arranged by Xu Jin'er and personally asked Jia Cong.
Of course, it is impossible to dig up each of Kong Lin's 100,000 tombs to find the things hidden in Yan Shenggong's mansion.
The archives of the Internal Affairs Department that Xia Jiang handed over to Chen Baoliang and others recorded a total of twenty-seven locations, that is, twenty-seven tombs.
Most of these tombs are the tombs of Confucian scholars who were born in the Confucius family. They are not very large. In less than half an hour of digging, the imperial army moved out locked boxes one by one.
Chen Baoliang looked at the box in front of him in shock, his eyes completely red.
What a great Yanshenggong Mansion, he really hid something in Konglin, and he hid so much.
"Kong Renqiao, why don't you hand over the key yet!"
Click! Wow...
Kong Xiangan snatched a knife from the hand of the imperial guard beside him, and struck a nearby box with one strike.
This box has been buried in a grave for many years, and the wood has rotted away. It fell apart immediately with a knife. The sunlight shining through the gap between the trees made the contents inside shine with golden light.
That was a box of gold coins, a whole box full of gold coins!
Click! Click! Click!
Kong Xiangan opened the three boxes in front of him in succession. Those boxes with strange
The strangely patterned gold coins, silver coins, and pearls and gems made Kong Xiangan suddenly feel ironic.
"I didn't expect it. It turns out that my Kong family in Qufu is actually as rich as the rest of the country."
Gudong!
Chen Baoliang couldn't help but swallowed. Gold and silver were charming, but he didn't have any desire for gold and silver at this time.
Because the imperial army came to report, there was a large secret room under the tomb of a great scholar on the left. The Forbidden Army has people moving things out.
"Song Yushi, look over there..."
Song Zhaolin looked in the direction pointed by Chen Baoliang and exclaimed: "There are so many armors, Mingguang armors!"
"Da Xia Law" has ownership: weapons other than privately owned are subject to imprisonment for one and a half years. If the privately owned weapon is a crossbow, the prison sentence is two and a half years; three crossbows and one armor are punishable by two thousand miles of exile; private possession of three armor and five crossbows is punishable by hanging Death alone. Those who make it privately are equally guilty.
The imperial army came to report that there were more than 2,000 pieces of armor and 3,000 crossbows in the secret room under the mausoleum. They were all made with exquisite workmanship and were comparable to those in the army.
Kong Renqiao also widened his eyes, how could these things be there? Didn’t he say that he only hid the gold and silver treasures obtained from sea trade?
Jia Cong whispered a few words to the captain of the Forbidden Army who came to report. The captain quickly came to Chen Baoliang, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is more than one secret room. The boys knocked on the wall of the secret room. The sound was empty, as if there was something." It’s a separate room. But it’s close to the Holy Tomb, so I don’t dare to make decisions without authorization, so I’ll leave it up to you, sir.”
