"I wonder which legitimate daughter the Qufu Kong family plans to marry? My subordinates can let people find out the other party's character and family situation in advance." Yang Yuan asked curiously.
All the direct lineage figures controlled by Qufu were included in the Foreign Intelligence Agency, and he was curious about which daughter of the Kong family he would marry.
"Daughter?" Liu Heng shook his head slightly and said, "Dong Yansheng is the Duke of Yansheng in the Ming Dynasty. Do you think they will marry a legitimate daughter to me, the leader of the rebels?"
He said mockingly.
"Not the legitimate daughter?" Yang Yuan frowned and said immediately, "The Qufu Kong family doesn't take our Tiger Flag seriously. I will arrange for someone to teach this Qufu Kong family a lesson when I get back."
The Tiger Banner army did not attack Shandong, but there was no problem for the Foreign Intelligence Agency to teach a few people from the Kong family in Qufu.
Liu Heng leaned back and said: "There is nothing to be angry about. This is the way those big families have always done. They like to bet on both sides. If the Tiger-Character Banner hadn't won Henan, I'm afraid a side clan's Kong It’s not my turn for my daughter.”
"Then why are you still marrying? My lord, please tell me that our troops in Henan cannot be moved. There are still many people in the Foreign Intelligence Bureau under our command in Shandong. It is no problem to kill a few people." Yang Yuan's eyes showed murder. meaning.
In his opinion, it was more than enough for his lord to marry the direct daughter of the Kong family in Qufu, but this Kong family in Qufu used an unimportant daughter of the Kong family in Qufu to make up for his marriage. This was another slap in their face.
Liu Heng pressed his hand down towards the emotional Yang Yuan and said: "The daughter of the Kong family from the collateral line is just right. If she is the direct daughter of the Kong family in Qufu, she will be embarrassed to do anything in the future."
"Demon Town Museum"
Under the rule of the Tiger Character Banner, he would never allow a single family to own a large amount of land. Such rural gentry families had always been the targets of the Tiger Character Banner.
The Qufu Kong family used a Kong family daughter to seek a future from him, but he didn't care. He had already made arrangements in his heart for the Kong sage and the Kong family.
Kong sage is Kong sage, and Kong family is Kong family.
Saint Kong may be a saint in the minds of scholars, but the Kong family is just a local powerful, no different from those rural gentry families.
Any powerful rural gentry in any place will be targeted by the tiger-character flag, and the same goes for the Kong family.
In other words, he felt that it was time for Kong to come to an end after enjoying the blessings of Saint Kong for so many years.
"My lord really wants to marry a daughter of the Kong family?" Yang Yuan heard some intentions from Liu Heng's words.
Liu Heng smiled and asked: "Then who do you think is suitable to marry?"
Yang Yuan showed hesitation when he heard this.
Anyone within the Tiger Character Banner who could speak up had advised the lord to marry a wife, but everyone had their own ideas, so they wanted the lord to marry different people.
Those officials who had defected from the Ming Dynasty, headed by Hong Chengchou, hoped that their lord could marry a woman from an ordinary family like the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so as to prevent his relatives from getting rich.
However, Deputy Director Li Shuheng and others hope that the lord will marry a woman who can be helpful to the lord's career.
There are also some people who hope that the lord will choose a princess from the feudal prince's palace to marry into the family, so that future generations can also be imbued with the dragon spirit of the Ming Dynasty.
"Have you found that you can marry anyone, but no one is suitable?" Liu Heng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yang Yuan nodded awkwardly.
Liu Heng added: "So I decided to marry this daughter of the Kong family."
"My Lord, no, a daughter of the Kong family is not worthy of your status." Yang Yuan wanted to persuade Liu Heng to change his mind.
In the eyes of others, marrying a daughter of the Kong family is the best thing, but in his opinion, unless she is the direct daughter of the Kong family in Qufu, it is impossible to marry a daughter of the Kong family with little status to lead the tiger flag. How many benefits come.
Liu Heng, who was a little dry after talking for a long time, picked up his tea cup and drank a sip of water, and then said: "The people of the Kong family in Qufu who really control the family business are the direct relatives of Yanshenggong. Most of the other Kong family members are not even as good as ordinary people, so Even if the Kong girl sent by the Kong family has some status in the clan, she will not be too high. Even if a truly valued Kong girl is used to marry a rural gentleman family in the south, she will not marry a rebel leader like me. "
Although the Tiger Character Banner has occupied three provinces, it is still a rebel in the eyes of the Ming court and the rural gentry, and the Ming Dynasty still has an orthodox status.
"Since my lord knows this, why do you want to marry a daughter of the Kong family who is not valued by the Kong family?" Yang Yuan frowned slightly.
In his opinion, even if the lord marries a vassal princess, it would be more suitable than such a daughter of the Kong family.
"The reason is very simple." Liu Heng looked at him and said, "I want all the scholars in the world to know that the Tiger Character Banner is not hostile to scholars. Any talented scholar can join the Tiger Character Banner and make contributions."
Not many real scholars joined the Tiger-Character Banner, and more scholars were still hostile to the Tiger-Character Banner, thinking that the Tiger-Character Banner was a traitor to the Ming Dynasty.
"Then you don't have to marry a daughter of the Kong family!" Yang Yuan still didn't understand.
Tiger Character Flag has never refused scholars to join, of course, that kind of scholars who have high ambitions and low vision do not count.
Liu Heng looked at him and said: "There are too few scholars joining the Tiger Flag. Once the Tiger Flag expands rapidly, there will never be enough talents. Therefore, the Tiger Flag needs a name so that scholars can join the Tiger Flag." The flag’s excuse was that the Kong family in Qufu had enjoyed the great reputation of Saint Kong for so many years, and now they took the initiative to come to the door. The tiger-character flag could just take this opportunity to enjoy the blessings of Saint Kong. Saint Kong should not have to go to the Kong family in Qufu. The Saint Kong of the family should be the Saint of everyone. The Kong family can use the name of Saint Kong, as can my tiger-character flag."
"What does the lord want his subordinates to do?" Yang Yuan realized at this moment that regardless of whether he persuaded him or not, the lord had actually decided to marry the Kong family's daughter, but he had specifically called him here to do something. command.
Liu Heng said to him: "There are two things you need to do. The first thing is to ask people from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau to find out which daughter of the Kong family in Qufu is going to marry."
Although he believed that the Kong family would not marry an ugly girl, he still hoped to learn all the information about the Kong girl he was going to marry earlier.
"I understand." Yang Yuan nodded in agreement.
It is not a difficult task for the Foreign Intelligence Agency to find out which woman Kong married. After all, these matters are not considered secrets as long as they are carefully investigated.
Liu Heng continued: "The second thing is not in a hurry. After the Kong family's daughter gets married, your Foreign Intelligence Bureau will publicize it and let everyone know that the Kong family in Qufu sent a Kong family daughter to Datong. .”
"If you do this, if the court finds out, given the character of the current emperor, I am afraid that he will not easily bypass the Qufu Kong family." Yang Yuan said.
It has been some time since Zhu Youjian took over the throne, and his various performances in the court cannot be hidden from those who are interested. His character and temperament have already been figured out by the people of the Foreign Intelligence Agency.
