"This is simply impossible!" Kong Yinjing realized that his tone was a bit extreme, and immediately explained, "Although Kong is the Holy Duke of Yan, he can only take care of Qufu's affairs. Yanzhou Prefecture has its own court laws to manage it, even if Yanzhou If the Holy Duke comes forward, all the officials in Yanzhou Prefecture will not abandon the city and surrender, not to mention that there is King Lu in the city, so they are even less likely to surrender."
Qin Rong, who heard this, said with a smile: "Mr. Kong is being humbled. Everyone in Qufu knows about Kong's Ming Dynasty. As long as Kong is willing to come forward, I don't think a mere King of Lu can stop the officials of Yanzhou Prefecture." Abandon darkness and embrace light.”
Kong Yinjing's mouth twitched out of nowhere.
It is clear that Ming is Ming, but when it comes to the people of the Tiger Character Banner, Ming becomes the darkness, and the rebels become the Ming righteousness.
"I think this is good. If Yanzhou Prefecture can take the initiative to surrender the city and save the people in the city from the disaster of swordsmanship, it will be a great thing." Chen Xunping looked at Kong Yinjing's face.
Based on the situation that the Kong family has been operating in Yanzhou Prefecture for many years, he felt that if the Kong family was really willing to come forward, the Tiger Character Banner might really be able to capture Yanzhou Prefecture without a single blow.
However, the Kong family actually came forward to ask the officials in Yanzhou Prefecture to dedicate the city, which was equivalent to cutting off ties with the Ming Dynasty.
This kind of thing is completely not in the interests of the Kong family. How can the Kong family agree to it? Kong Yinjing, as a collateral clan member, cannot make the decision.
Just listen to Kong Yinjing say: "If possible, the Kong family naturally hopes that the people in Yanzhou Prefecture can be protected from the disaster of swords and weapons, but the imperial court has great righteousness after all, so I hope that the general will not use swords and weapons rashly, just for the sake of the people of Yanzhou Prefecture." .”
"It seems that the Kong family is planning to make an enemy of my Tiger Flag!" Chen Xunping narrowed his eyes slightly when he looked at Kong Yinjing, and his tone suddenly became cold.
After hearing this, Kong Yinjing said: "The general has misunderstood. The Kong family is not willing to be an enemy of anyone. The reason why the Kong family is the Kong family is because the Kong family is respected by scholars all over the world. The dynasty changes, but the Kong family remains unchanged. I don’t think General Liu would like to see the general get into trouble with the Kong family.”
He also threatened Chen Xunping with his words.
"So, the Kong family has no regard for the marriage relationship between the two families and insists on confronting the Tiger Flag to the end?" Chen Xunping asked coldly.

Based on what Kong did in Yanzhou Prefecture, he didn't have the slightest fondness for this Kong.
Kong Yinjing shook his head slightly and said: "It is precisely because Kong cares about the relationship between the two families that he specially sent me here. I hope that the general will withdraw his troops or that General Liu will take a step further. Whether it is the former or the latter, Kong Everyone will support it.”
"It's not Kong's turn to decide what the lord wants to do, but I can tell you one thing again. When I come to Shandong this time, I will not leave easily unless I take over the entire Shandong." Chen Xunping stared at Kong Yinjing. eyes said.
Kong Yinjing hesitated for a moment and asked: "Since General Liu has the idea of taking Shandong, why is he still unwilling to proclaim himself emperor? With the current strength of your Tiger Flag, General Liu is fully qualified to sit north and face south and become the leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. His Majesty."
He couldn't understand that if he took over three provinces with the Tiger-Character Banner, ordinary thieves and bandits would be tempted to proclaim themselves emperors. After all, the Tiger-Character Banner was a sitting bandit, not a rogue bandit who moved around without a stable foundation.
If the Tiger-Character Banner had not shown signs of establishing a new dynasty, the Kong family would not have married the Kong family's daughter.
"Mr. Kong doesn't need to worry about these things. He only needs to think about whether he can help us capture Yanzhou Prefecture." Chen Xunping said, "Don't forget, Qufu is in Yanzhou Prefecture, and it's not far from Ziyang."
Kong Yinjing's face changed when he heard this, and he scolded: "The Kong family has been in Qufu in all dynasties. Is it possible that your Tiger Flag will do something to the Kong family!"
He was really angry now.
No matter which dynasty they were in, the Kong family would be held in high esteem, even if they had to enshrine the Kong family in order to win over the hearts of scholars all over the world.
Therefore, dynasties can change, but the Kong family will not change.
Kong is not afraid of the change of dynasties, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the tiger-character flag, no matter who wins the world, he needs Kong to win over the hearts of the scholars in the world. If he does not have Kong, he will not get the support of the scholars in the world.
In Kong Yinjing's view, such a dynasty would not last long and would inevitably die prematurely.
"Whether or not the Kong family should do anything depends on how the Kong family chooses? Anyway, the two families are also related by marriage, and my mistress is from the Kong family. As the saying goes, relatives should help each other, so that the relationship can be Maintain it in the long run." Chen Xunping said.
In his heart, he really hoped that Kong could come forward to solve the problem of Yanzhou Fucheng for Tiger Character Banner, but he also did not want Kong to interfere in the affairs of Yanzhou Fucheng.
After all, after the butcher's knife of Tiger Character Banner defeated Yanzhou Fucheng, the Kong family was probably next.
The Kong family, which occupies a large area of fertile land in Yanzhou Prefecture, has more fertile land in Yanzhou Prefecture than the King of Lu who lives in the city, and the Kong family's fertile land is no longer limited to Yanzhou Prefecture.
Kong Yinjing shook his head and said: "If General Liu wants to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, Kong can win over some scholars for him. As for helping you capture the capital of Yanzhou, Kong will not do such a thing."
Obviously neutrality can guarantee the prosperity of the Kong family. Without the absolute advantage of the Tiger Flag, it is impossible for the Kong family to give up the Ming Dynasty.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is the lord of the Central Plains. Even if the Tiger Character Banner has occupied the three provinces, it is still just a dragon, and it is not enough to transform into a real dragon emperor who can change the clouds and rain.
"Then there's nothing to talk about." Chen Xunping spread his hands and said immediately, "Mr. Kong went back and told Yan Shenggong that the Tiger Character Banner never accepts people who have both sides."
Since Kong didn't want to do anything for the Tiger Flag, he just wanted to get benefits with his words. The Tiger Flag didn't look at the benefits brought by Kong at all.
"General, you'd better send someone back to ask General Liu. Maybe General Liu has a different idea than the general." Kong Yinjing carried Liu Heng out.
Chen Xunping shook his head slightly and said, "No need."
He had long known Liu Heng's attitude towards Kong from Li Yunqi, so Kong had no face with him at all.
"Why should the general be so persistent? Sending someone back can only delay a few days." Kong Yinjing wanted to persuade Chen Xunping to give up attacking Yanzhou Fucheng.
Yanzhou Fucheng is too close to Qufu.
Even the Kong family did not want the tiger-character banner army to come to Yanzhou Prefecture.
The policy implemented by the Tiger Character Banner in the occupied area can be said to have greatly harmed the interests of the Kong family. Especially after the Tiger Character Banner army entered Shandong for so long, the Kong family had already had fields that were forcibly distributed by the Tiger Character Banner to local residents. Those mud-legged people in Tian.
It was not for nothing that Kong wrote the petition for the Tiger-Character Banner. The Tiger-Character Flag was also needed to protect Kong's interests in Shandong, otherwise the petition for advancement might turn into an appeal for thieves.
