Although Duke Yan Sheng was extremely noble, he was still a Duke after all and was still inferior to the vassal king. Moreover, this time a prince and a prince came hand in hand. No matter how arrogant Kong Yinzhi was, he would not dare to entertain guests in his Yanshenggong Mansion.
In addition, the relationship between Yan Shenggong and Heng Wang Zhu Youyi is very good. King Heng is a vassal king and can only wander around Yidu City at most. However, Duke Yan Sheng was relatively free and could wander around to visit the kings of the three vassals on the ground in Shandong. And the vassal kings were also willing to make friends with him, a "sage" - after all, there were too few people who could rub shoulders with the vassal king, and they couldn't get too close to the local officials. Therefore, Yan Shenggong, who is also a "king", is their most ideal friend.
Now that my old friend has arrived in Qufu, of course Yanshenggong Kong Yinzhi must fulfill his duties as a landlord!
And he also wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about the situation in the industry - how strong is Qiantose? Are all the officials in the industry so arrogant and afraid of speaking out because of the power of Master Chitose? In addition, what is the body of the Holy Spirit like? Is there any possibility of being killed?
So Kong Yinzhi immediately left Yanzhou and rushed back to Qufu. Then he took his servant Ding Jiaji and marched out of Qufu City to Fangshan at the junction of Qufu and Surabaya.
Fangshan is where the tombs of Confucius’ parents and elder brother are located, and is called Liang Gonglin. In addition, Yan Hui, a disciple of Confucius, was also buried in Fangshan, which was called Fanglin. Therefore, Fangshan has been an important stronghold of Yanshenggong Mansion outside Qufu since the Ming Dynasty. Not only were sacrificial temples built, but also magnificent garden villas were built. As for the land around Fangshan, except for a small part that belongs to the eldest son of the Yan family, the rest belongs to Duke Yansheng's mansion. Even in Sishui County next door to Fangshan, most of the land is owned by people named Kong, and the Kong family also built a garden there.
King Heng Zhu Youyi was not polite. As soon as he entered Yanzhou Prefecture (Sishui County), he asked to stay in the garden of the Confucius family. On the second day, that is, the afternoon when Kong Yinzhi arrived at Fangshan, King Heng and Duke Cheng and his entourage arrived at Kong's Fangshan Garden on the edge of Liang Gonglin.
And Kong Yinzhi's bad luck began after meeting his old friend, Prince Heng Zhu Youyi!
Prince Heng Zhu Youyi seemed to be a different person today. He was not as calm and elegant as before, and he no longer had the aura of a king who ruled over the country. After being helped off the horse, he looked at Kong Yinzhi with a sad face. Said: "Maojia, what's wrong, someone is impeaching you!"
"Impeach?" Kong Yinzhi felt a little guilty because he had become a third minister. He became nervous when he heard what Prince Heng said, "Who, who is going to impeach me?"
King Heng's face turned pale, and he sighed and said to Kong Yinzhi: "It was King De, King Lu, Liu Zeqing from the Shandong town, and Gao Jie, the commander-in-chief of the aid and suppression army, who together submitted the petition to impeach you!"
"What? What?" Kong Yinzhi suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Two Shandong vassal kings and two general soldiers with heavy troops impeached him together! ?
This is no joke! The two vassal kings were already very scary, plus the two general soldiers... Shi Kefa had a total of four general soldiers, and two of them actually went up to the table to impeach Kong Yinzhi!
What exactly is going on? Why are they having trouble with themselves?
"This, this, this...how did I offend them?" Kong Yinzhi finally asked after stammering for a long time.
"You!" The fat man, Prince Heng, stamped his feet and took his old friend's hand. "It's happened that you took refuge with the bandits and the Tatars! Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing and Prince De were in Prince De's Mansion occupied by bandits in Jinan City. The surrender form you gave to the bandits and the Tatars was found inside! The surrender form was sent to Qingzhou. After the saint read it, he became furious and ordered Duke Cheng and this vassal to come to Qufu to arrest you."
"Capture..." Kong Yinzhi's face turned pale, but he was still unwilling to accept the fact that he was captured. He trembled and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you said that the Holy One wanted to arrest me? But I don't listen. People say that the Holy Emperor was trapped by the Crown Prince and took away his power!"
"What did you say?" King Heng looked at Kong Yinzhi in surprise, pointed at him with shaking hands and said, "You, how can you say such a thing? You, you, you are driving a wedge between the Holy Emperor and the Crown Prince! This vassal can't If you don’t report what you know, we will impeach you even after you return to Qingzhou! You, you, your sins are so serious and unforgivable!”
Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, who had been following Zhu Cixiang for a long time and had excellent acting skills, was shaking his head and sighing: "Oh, one more crime, slandering the prince, shaking the country... you are finished!"
"It's difficult. Didn't the king lose his power?" Kong Yinzhi was so frightened that he was a little incoherent. "Then how come there is such a thing as the prince pacifying the army?"
"Hi," Zhu Chunchen waved his hand, "It's not that the Holy Emperor was embarrassed, so he pretended to faint at Huangjimen and asked the prince to preside over the breakout..." At this point, he felt that he had made a mistake and hurriedly He corrected, "I'm not pretending to be dizzy, I'm really dizzy, I'm really dizzy!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Kong Yinzhi's hand and said sternly: "You, Duke Yansheng, are miserable. Not only did you surrender to the bandits and the Tatars, you also slandered the prince and slapped the country. Quickly follow me." Qingzhou please plead guilty to the Holy One! Maybe Ling Chi can be spared and he can drink a glass of poisonous wine to settle the matter!"
Kong Yinzhi, Duke Yansheng, also grew up in a honeypot. When had he ever been frightened like this? He was so stunned that he forgot to run away and didn't dare to let his servants resist. Even his legs were weak from fear and he was about to sit on the ground. Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, was still very strong. He picked up Duke Yansheng in one fell swoop, stuffed him into a carriage that had been prepared long ago, and then personally escorted him to Yidu, Qingzhou.
However, Heng Wang Zhu Youyi did not leave, but settled in Fangshan Confucius Garden. A team of Jinyi guards who followed him, under the command of Qianhu Ren Yizhou, detained all the Kong family members inside and outside the Confucius Garden. Blocked the news of Kong Yinzhi's arrest.
...
On the ground of Shandong in the Ming Dynasty, San Francisco and Yi Gong were very important. De Fan is in Jinan, Heng Fan is in Qingzhou, Lu Fan is in Yanzhou, and Yan Shenggong's power spreads all over Shandong.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the sky fell, among the three vassals and one prince, except for Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu vassal, who was worthy of being Zhu Yuanzhang, he resisted to the end in the troubled times. The remaining two vassals and one Duke all became surrenderers. In particular, the surrender of the still powerful King Heng Zhu Youyi and Duke Yan Sheng Kong Yinzhi had a great impact on the future anti-Qing cause of Nanming.
If they can persist in resisting in Shandong, even if they delay it for a year, Nanming may be able to complete the power struggle and find a power center that can really talk about things. Considering the choices made by Emperor Chongzhen in history, Nanming’s fierceness Infighting is inevitable. This is incomparable with the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhao Gou is Zhao Ji's biological son after all! Although Sima Rui of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was a sideline, he was a real prince with territory, retainers and an army. Moreover, the Western Jin Dynasty finally perished in the ninth year after Sima Rui moved to the east of the Yangtze River!
Therefore, in Zhu Cihong's view, the longer Shandong (not counting Denglai, who is located in the corner) persists, the more stable his rule in the south will be.
In order to make the front side of Shandong - Jinan, Dongchang, and Yanzhou, the three canals flowing through or protecting the safety of the canals, become a barrier to the Qing army's southward march, Zhu Cixiang had to move San Francisco in Shandong Everyone was drawn into the anti-Qing camp.
In addition, in order to dismantle the anti-prince camp put together by Shi Kefa, Zhu Cixiang also had to get the support of the Duke of San Francisco.
Now, when Duke Yansheng Kong Yinzhi was captured in despair and taken to Qingzhou Fucheng. Zhu Cixiang was meeting with King Zhu Yihai of Lu and King Zhu Youju of De in the Mansion of Prince Heng in Qingzhou Fucheng (Yidu).
Two princes, two temperaments. Although King Zhu Yihai of Lu was also a runaway prince who abandoned his vassal and fled, when the envoy sent by Zhu Cixang found him, he had already gone to Haizhou and was about to take a boat to Jiangnan.
But after being detained in Qingzhou, he was not timid at all, and he still had the energy to be brave enough to be boiled.
But Zhu Youjue was much worse. He looked trembling. He had the same virtue as Prince Heng Zhu Youhe, but he looked like a coward.
In the Yin'an Hall of the palace, in addition to these two kings, there were also Jin Wang Zhu Shenxuan and Qin Wang Zhu Cunji. These two princes were rescued by Zhu Cixiang from outside Fucheng Gate during the Battle of Beijing City. Although they were trash who lost the feudal clan, Zhu Cixiang did not punish them - although Zhu Cixiang was violent, he was also good at making use of trash, and he was reasonable in his work and would not kill people casually.
