The soldiers and horses of the Tiger Character Banner still stayed in Jining Prefecture and did not besiege Ziyang City.
Although the city has long been in turmoil, the city gates of Ziyang City are still open for an hour every day, but not everyone can leave the city at will. They need to have documents stamped with the official seal to leave the city.
It was much easier to enter the city, and the officials guarding the city gate only stopped those who wanted to leave the city.
Some people outside Ziyang City fled to the city with their families in order to avoid the coming war.
When there are many people who want to enter the city, the officials guarding the city gate take this opportunity to get benefits and make a lot of money.
As soon as Kong Yinjing came out of Prince Lu's Mansion, he immediately rode through the city gate and left Ziyang City.
As a member of the Kong family, he came to and from Ziyang City on behalf of the Kong family more than once. All the guards at the city gate knew him, so he did not need any documents to leave the city and left Ziyang City easily.
Kong's power on the ground in Yanzhou was far greater than that of King Lu.
The clerks who guard the city gate have been doing this job for their ancestors. They are all well-educated and know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Naturally, they understand who is the biggest on the ground in Yanzhou.
Not to mention leaving the city during the day, even if the Kong family wanted to leave the city at midnight, they would open the city gate overnight to let the Kong family leave.
Rules are never meant for those with power.
Kong's Yansheng lived in Qufu during his reign.
Qufu is nominally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it is completely controlled by the Kong family. The life and death of the people on the ground in Qufu depend on the Kong family's thoughts.
The laws of the Ming Dynasty have never been able to control Qufu.
Qufu is close to Ziyang, which is closer than Jining Prefecture.
Kong Yinjing spared no effort in using his horse power, and rushed back to Qufu on the same day.
As Kong's liaison with the outside world, he often rides a carriage when going out. Even if he rides a horse, it is like an outing. He will never rush like he is today.
When I got off the horse, I almost fell off the horse. Fortunately, I was helped by the wise and quick hands of a disciple on the side.
"Quickly, take me to see Duke Yan." Kong Yinjing said, holding Menzi's arm tightly with one hand.
At this moment, both of his legs were weak, and he could rely on his own strength. When he saw his appearance, he immediately guessed that this was an important matter.
He immediately helped the person to the concierge to rest, and then the concierge hurried to the inner courtyard to report.
Not long after, a boy came from the inner courtyard and followed the disciple to the concierge.
Kong Yinjing saw the boy and knew that he was the boy beside Duke Yansheng, so he struggled to get up from the bed.
The reason why he was on the bed was simply because he had come all the way from Ziyang City and his buttocks were in several flaps. He couldn't sit down at all, so he could only lie down on the bed.
Seeing this, the boy hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Mr. Six? Are you injured?"
"Don't mention it, don't mention it, take me to see Yan Shenggong quickly." Kong Yinjing did not want to say that it was caused by riding a horse, but just urged the boy to take him to see Yan Shenggong.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, the boy stopped asking and helped Kong Yinjing leave the concierge, walked through the corridor, and came to a guest room in the front yard. ….
When Kong Yinjing was brought to the guest room, Duke Yansheng was already waiting here.
At this time, Kong's Yan Sheng Gong passed into the hands of Kong Yinzhi.
Originally, he was Xiaozong, and his father was the younger brother of Kong Zhenqian, the Duke of Yansheng. Later, the two sons of Kong Shangxian, the Dazong, had no heirs, so Kong Yinzhi succeeded the title of Duke Yansheng as the son of Kong Shangxian's younger brother.
From then on, he changed from a disciple of a small sect to a member of a large sect.
"I've seen Mr. Yan Shenggong." Kong Yinjing broke away from the boy who was supporting him. Regardless of the pain in his buttocks, he bowed and saluted Mr. Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi who was sitting on the throne.
Kong Yinzhi, Duke Yansheng, put down the tureen in his hand and looked at Kong Yinjing, who was inconvenienced, with a surprised look on his face, and said, "What's wrong with your sixth brother's health?"
He asked with concern, but his butt remained motionless on the seat.
Although the servants called Kong Yinjing the Sixth Master, the relationship between Kong Yinjing's grandfather and Kong Zhenqian, Kong Yinzhi's grandfather, was not even that of a disciple.
The small sect of Kong Yinjing's branch is further away from the blood relationship of the current Kong family sect.
In the eyes of contemporary Yanshenggong Kong Yinzhi, even though Kong Yinjing also had the surname Kong, in his heart he was no different from the servants in his family.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It was a bit bumpy on the horseback, so just practice yourself." Kong Yinjing himself also knew his position in the Kong family, and kept saying that his injuries were fine.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sixth Brother." Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi said to the boy beside him, "Bring a softer mat to Sixth Brother."
The boy bowed and retreated.
Kong Yinjing said quickly: "It's not hard, I should do it for the Kong family."
Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi didn't say anything more on this issue. He reached out to pick up the bowl of tea on the side, brought it to his mouth and took a sip. Then he asked: "Sixth brother is in such a hurry to come back, but Hu What news is there from the thief?"
Although the Kong family married a girl from the clan to Hu Zi Banner, in the eyes of Yan Shenggong and other Kong clan members, Hu Zi Banner was still a bandit.
As for the fact that the Kong family's daughter was handed over to the leader of the thieves, let alone a low-ranking daughter of a small sect, even if she was the legitimate daughter of a major sect, the Kong family could just pretend that such a daughter did not exist when it was time to abandon it.
Such things as propriety, justice, integrity, filial piety, loyalty and trustworthiness, it is impossible for the Confucius family to rely on these things to be passed down stably for thousands of years.
"In Jining Prefecture, I met the general of the Tiger Thief. He refused his request to withdraw his troops and insisted on taking Yanzhou Prefecture." Kong Yinjing said.
Upon hearing this, Duke Yansheng Kong Yinzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you say that this was my request?"
"I told you, but I saw that the other party didn't take him seriously. I brought up Liu Heng's identity to suppress him, but it didn't work at all. He seemed to have no scruples about Liu Heng, the rebel leader." Kong Yin paid tribute. Showing helplessness.
Yan Shenggong looked thoughtful and said, "You mean that the other party is not afraid of Liu Heng, the nominal leader of the tiger thieves?"
"When we were in Jining Prefecture, the other party made me feel like this." Kong Yinjing said, "If this is really the case, should I let that Kong Yueqing ignore Liu Heng?"
He looked at Yanshenggong Kong Yinzhi who was sitting on his seat.
At this moment, the boy who had gone out came in from outside the house with a cushion in his hand.
"Master, I brought you the soft cushion you asked for." The boy said respectfully to Kong Yinzhi, the Duke of Yan.
Duke Yansheng Kong Yinzhi glanced at it and said, "Take the seat next to you and give it to your sixth brother. Sixth brother, don't stand either. Go and sit down!"
Kong Yinjing looked at the seat where the boy had put the cushion, hesitated for a moment, but finally did not refuse, and reluctantly sat down despite the discomfort in his buttocks. .
