Everyone in the Kong family was even more surprised when they learned that Su Yonglin was originally a son of an official in the Southern Song Dynasty. He had a good background and had also studied.
"you……"
Kong Zheng couldn't help but point at Su Yonglin and imagined a big drama, a quite bloody drama.
"Then why did you do such a thing? You came to the Kingdom of Jin...could it be an order from the Zhao Guan family? Do you want to destroy the Beizong?"
"ah?"
Su Yonglin was stunned: "Why do you think this is an order from the Zhao Guan family? What does this have to do with the Zhao Guan family? Why do you think the Zhao Guan family has the courage to ask me to do such a thing?"
"Isn't it? Is it led by Nanzong? Would they do such a thing?"
Kong Zheng was a little angry.
"No, what does this have to do with Nanzong? What are you thinking about all day long?"
Su Yonglin suddenly felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.
"Then why did you go north?"
"Because I don't believe that the Zhao Guan family can recover the Central Plains and restore their homeland, I don't believe it, so I have to do it myself. General Yue's story told me that relying on the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty is a dead end, so I want to do the Northern Expedition, and I can only rely on myself. "
Su Yonglin patted his chest: "Understand? I rely on myself, not on anyone else. I will capture the Central Plains, capture Yanyun, regain the Great Wall, and expel the Jin people on my own! Before that, I won't Consider any other impact!”
Kong Zheng and Kong La were both stunned.
Everyone in the Kong family, old and young, was almost stunned on the spot.
Listening to a rebel talk about his big plan has a magical realism feel to it.
But this happens to be true.
This rebel had just captured Qufu, which proved that his military power was of a certain standard.
Although everyone in the Kong family still didn't believe that this young rebel could drive away the Jin people, they still felt that his appearance was surprising.
After Yue Fei's death, no one said for a long time that they would expel the Jin people and restore the Central Plains.
Everyone accepted the Jin's rule over the Central Plains by default and accepted the rule of foreigners, and gradually gave up the use of force to overthrow the Jin's rule.
As long as they respect the Confucian concept of governing the country and use the imperial examination to share power with the landlord class scholars, then everything is easy to say.
No national emotion is as real as power and interests. As long as they can continue to be officials and continue to hold power, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor.
And what method will this young rebel use to expel the Jin people and regain the Central Plains?
"Of course you don't have to believe it. It's better to say that if you believe it, it must be false and you are lying to me. I don't believe it."
Su Yonglin looked around at the old and young people in the Kong family and said, "But you must make an assumption. With tens of thousands of troops, I succeeded. You cannot deny the existence of this possibility, even if the possibility of it being realized is slim. , but it’s also possible, isn’t it?”
The old and young people looked at each other, but no one said a word, only looking at the two brothers Yan Shenggong.
Kong Zheng looked at Su Yonglin's face, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Kong Li.
"Brother Li, otherwise, you can be the county magistrate."
"ah?"
Kong Lao on the side was stunned for a moment, not understanding what happened at all, and asked: "Shall I do it?"
"Yes, you do it."
Kong Zheng held Kong La's hand: "You are my brother. If you are to be the county magistrate, it will be the Kong family who will serve as the county magistrate!"
Kong Zheng turned his attention to Su Yonglin again.
"General Su, is this okay? Brother Li is my younger brother and my compatriot. It should be okay for him to be the magistrate of Qufu County, right?"
Su Yonglin did not expect this sudden turn of events.
To be precise, he just wanted to disgust the Kong family at first, just because they were unhappy and wanted to teach them a lesson, but to his surprise, Kong Zheng actually started to fight with him.
Can this be tolerated?
He decided to use some resources to deal with the Kong family.
Now that the resources have been consumed and the military strength has also suffered a slight loss, of course, the losses must be made up for by gains from the Kong family, otherwise the fight will be in vain.
But he didn't think Kong Zheng would agree to be the magistrate of Qufu, because the difference between Yan Shenggong and the magistrate of Qufu was really too big.
Even if you put a knife to his neck, it's hard to get him to agree.
Of course, Su Yonglin would not kill Kong Zheng and destroy the Kong family now. That would be causing trouble for himself.
Su Yonglin's expected goal was to blackmail Kong.
He thought that Kong would definitely not agree to take up the official position in the Shengjie Army, so he settled for the next best thing and scraped a piece of oil and water off. Since he had taken a step back, Kong would naturally agree to this matter.
This piece of oil and water can make me eat deliciously, and make up for all the losses caused by the Kong family these days in one go.
Then just pretend that the Kong family doesn't exist. They can't cause trouble for themselves from the military level anyway.
However, for some reason, Kong Zheng suddenly made such a decision.
Although Kong La is not Yan Shenggong, he is Kong Zheng's younger brother, a member of the Kong family's core group, and his status is definitely extraordinary.
The symbolic significance of such a person taking up the post of Qufu County Magistrate in the area controlled by the victorious Czech army is very broad.
So not to mention that Kong Lai and the young and old of the Kong family were stunned, Su Yonglin didn't react too well.
"Brother, me? Be the magistrate of Qufu County? Are you serious?"
"Seriously, Brother Li, only you can take on this responsibility, and only you can do this."
Saying this, Kong Zheng looked at Su Yonglin again: "General Su, what do you think?"
"I……"
Su Yonglin organized his words a little and said: "It is human nature that Duke Yansheng does not want to give up his position. If your brother is willing to serve as the magistrate of Qufu, I think it is not impossible."
Kong Zheng relaxed and nodded.
"Okay, General Su, we have agreed that Kong Lao will serve as the magistrate of Qufu County and obey the general's instructions."
"Very good."
Su Yonglin nodded in approval.
Next came some details. Kong Zheng very politely expressed his willingness to compensate the Shengjie army for their losses, and provided a large amount of money and food to reward the army, which satisfied Su Yonglin's appetite.
He found that Kong's various actions after recognizing the reality were very consistent with the psychological expectations of a conqueror and could well meet the conqueror's needs.
It has to be said that the reason why the Kong family has been able to survive for so long is not just because of its reputation and hard work.
As a conqueror, Su Yonglin does not need to take any responsibility for the hundreds of dead and injured in the city who died in the war. This is Kong's problem, not his, so he leaves the aftermath here to the Kong Li.
This was the magistrate of Qufu County who was appointed by him.
Kong Lao's expression was never relaxed, especially after bidding farewell to Su Yonglin.
He saw off Su Yonglin and Shengjie's army and saw them heading west, and did not see them leaving any troops to "defend the city", which was equivalent to handing Qufu over to the Kong family.
Regarding this, Kong La was a little relieved, but the tension that followed made him unable to control himself.
"Brother, what are you thinking about? Let me be the magistrate of Qufu County, push me out to meet the needs of these rebels, and then push me out to take the blame when the emperor comes to ask questions? You and I are close by blood, and I regard you as my boss in everything. Lord, how could you treat me like this?"
Kong La came to Kong Zheng angrily and was very emotional.
Kong Zheng seemed quite calm, completely different from his previous tough appearance.
"Excitement will make you lose your mind. I have suffered a loss before. Do you want to do it again?"
Kong Li was stunned.
"What's the meaning?"
"I don't know why, but I have a strange feeling. This general named Su Yonglin is not a simple figure. What he does is beyond common sense. It makes me worry about whether the future will go as we predicted before. develop."
"Is this why you put me in danger?"
Kong Lao's head was full of questions, and then his face was full of nervousness, and he growled: "Because of such illusory things, brother, I have committed a capital crime that is fatal to Emperor Dajin! It's a capital crime!"
"If you don't do this, someone from the Kong family will be martyred today!"
Kong Zheng got angry, slapped the table and said: "As a descendant of the Kong family, you have enjoyed glory and wealth since childhood, so you must always be prepared to give everything for the Kong family! Everything you have is not only yours! It also belongs to the Kong family. of!
You are such an adult, don’t you understand this? Kong spent so much time raising you and making you an adult, just so that one day you can feed Kong back! Nothing you get is justified, do you understand? ! "
"I……"
Kong La suddenly felt a little lack of confidence.
What Kong Zheng said is true. As a descendant of the Kong family, he grew up in fine clothes and fine food since childhood, and enjoyed such generous treatment. Naturally, when he grew up, he had to work hard for the survival and stability of the Kong family, as much as possible. Let Kong not face so many dangers.
When necessary, dedicate yourself to keep the Kong family alive. This is the clan.
As the clan leader, Kong Zheng has the power to dominate the clan.
Clan members are not allowed to resist or disobey.
"This is not something you can discuss with Kong. This is something you have to do."
There was no room for what Kong Zheng said, which made Kong Lao quite helpless.
"If there is a Kong family, what is the use of Kong Lai? If there is no Kong family, what is the meaning of Kong Lai's existence? Brother, I understand."
After saying that, Kong La sighed and slowly exited Kong Zheng's room.
