Several elders of the Kong clan present looked at Kong Yinjing.
I wonder what other intentions the Tiger Character Banner has besides setting up a besiege in Qufu.
It concerns the future of the Kong family, and more importantly, the vital interests of those in power in the Kong family. No one dares not to take it seriously.
Although he opened his mouth to rebel against the thief and shut up his mouth to rebel against the thief, he said some things that looked down upon the tiger character flag, but secretly he was also afraid that the tiger character flag would do something like a scholar meeting a soldier.
In their eyes, the people in the Tiger Flag are just a bunch of rubble.
And those of them who call themselves porcelain are not willing to die with the rubble.
"Before returning from Ziyang City, I met a general named Qin who was a tiger thief." Kong Yinjing paused, looked at the elders in front of him, and continued, "He said nine words to me. , share the land, pay taxes, and eliminate resistance.”
As his words fell, the expressions of several elders of the Kong family changed.
One of the clan elders even cursed loudly: "Thieves, a group of rebellious officials and thieves. They are violating the Ming Dynasty's ancestral system by doing this, and they should be punished for their crimes."
"The ancestral system you are talking about is the ancestral system of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty. What does it have to do with a group of rebels?" Yan Shenggong, who was sitting on the main seat, said in an indifferent tone.
The clan elder who heard this said with a dark face: "Even if it is not an ancestral system, anyone who wants to care about the world should treat scholars well. The world needs scholars to govern. How can a group of warriors manage the world well?"
"Yes, governing the world must rely on scholars." A clan elder agreed.
The status of scholars is high, and the sage Kong is the common teacher of scholars, so the status of Confucius will naturally be high.
Confucius has already had a prosperous relationship with scholars all over the world.
"It's useless to say all this now." Yanshenggong interrupted several angry clan elders and said, "The other party asked the sixth brother to bring these nine words back, just to convey them to the Kong family. Tell me what to do!”
The room fell silent.
Several clan elders who had been shouting loudly before were speechless.
No one is willing to give up the benefits they have obtained, but there is no better way to resolve the current dilemma.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Yan Shenggong looked unhappy, and his eyes were fixed on the clan elders who had made a lot of noise before.
At this time, Kong Yinjing couldn't help but said: "Several clan elders, please think of a solution. The tiger thieves are coming for our Kong family this time. Once the fields are divided and taxes are paid, the biggest loss will be Everyone."
The equalization of land taxation will not have a big impact on the ordinary members of the Kong family. On the contrary, it is possible to gain benefits, but for these people here, the losses will be great.
They are the ones who occupy the most acres of land, and they have opened many shops and various businesses outside their homes. Land equalization and taxation are tantamount to poaching their flesh.
"I don't believe it. They dare to risk the disapproval of the world and attack the Kong family." Someone among the clan elders said angrily.
"Yes, you are right. If the tiger thief still wants to rely on scholars to govern the world in the future, he cannot treat our Kong family badly. Otherwise, he will call on all the scholars in the world not to support the tiger thief to conquer the world."
"Without scholars to help them, I think the tiger thieves will not be able to sit still in the three provinces, let alone plan to take over the world."
The elders of the tribe said some things that were not conducive to the tiger character flag.
Kong Yinjing, who was standing aside, heard the words of these clan elders and couldn't help but interrupt and remind them: "What the clan elders said is correct and makes sense, but this does not solve the current dilemma."
"What the elders of the uncle clan and the sixth brother said makes sense." Yan Shenggong said, "The tiger thieves are coming for the Kong family right now. And don't forget, in addition to our Northern Sect, there is also the Southern Sect. .”
Due to the division of the world, the two sects of the Kong family, the northern and southern sects, each became the main line of the Kong family of the country at that time. Later, when the world was unified, the southern sect stepped down as the main line, and the title of Duke Yansheng fell to the northern sect. On the head.
But everyone on the Beizong side knew that the Nanzong had never given up on Yan Shenggong's title, and would definitely try to seize Yan Shenggong's title once there was an opportunity.
"Then what should we do? Just let it go? Let the tiger thief dominate Kong's head!" A clan elder said indignantly.
Duke Yan Sheng was speechless.
Because he found that Kong really had no better way to deal with Tiger Flag.
Tiger Character Flag is reasonable to them, and we, the Kong Family, are qualified to reason with Tiger Character Flag. But once Tiger Character Flag is unreasonable and plays with knives, we, the Kong Family, will be helpless.
Compared to the silence in the house, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
The door of the house was pushed open, and the personal entourage around Yan Shenggong walked in from outside the house.
"Sir, the tiger thief sent someone to deliver a message."
"speak."
"Before noon tomorrow, the tiger thief asked me to personally take the fish scale book of Qufu and the house deeds of all the Kong family's fields to the outside of the city. The tiger thief sent someone to wait for you outside the city."
Duke Yan Sheng, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly turned ugly after hearing what he said.
They didn't even send anyone with more weight. They only asked a boy to convey the message, and even asked him, the dignified Duke Yan, to personally send him out of the city with the fish scale book. He simply didn't take him seriously.
"It's unreasonable. A group of thieves and Kou An dare to insult me, the Kong family." A clan elder with a bad temper yelled and cursed.
The messenger who brought the news lowered his head.
Duke Yansheng looked at everyone with a livid face and said, "You see! The tiger thief doesn't take our Kong family seriously at all. Tell me, what should we do?"
"How about asking the imperial court for help?" A clan elder said tentatively.
Kong Yinjing on the side responded: "The tiger bandit's troops have already appeared outside Qufu City. It is too late to ask for help at this time. Even if the nearest Ming army arrives in Qufu, it will take some time."

"Let me see, we don't need to pay attention to the tiger thieves at all. I don't believe that the tiger thieves still have the courage to enter Qufu City. If they really dare to do this, scholars all over the world will reviled them, and they will be stinked in history books for thousands of years." It was an older clan elder of the Kong clan.
He rarely takes care of things, and spends more time at home reading and practicing calligraphy, and he also likes to copy famous people's calligraphy.
A clan elder said: "What if the tiger thieves attack Qufu City? It's impossible to defend it with only dozens of officers and soldiers in the city."
His words were recognized by many clan elders present.
The Kong family cannot afford to gamble. Once the opponent enters the city, the Kong family will definitely be robbed.
Yanshenggong looked at the clan elders in front of him and couldn't come up with anything. He said angrily: "Since I can't make up my mind, I'll just go out of the city with the fish scale book and ask Hu Hu tomorrow." The thieves can just beg for surrender."
As soon as the words were spoken, the scene immediately became quiet.
No one advised him.
This made Master Yan's heart become cold.
