Duke Yan Sheng did not expect that the person he wanted to meet lived in such a place. Lan
When I thought about it again, I thought it was normal.
Immediately, he asked the bearer to hold down the sedan chair, and he got out of the sedan chair.
"This is Mr. Yanshenggong from Qufu. The master is calling his name to see him. Please come and take him in." The tiger-shaped banner cavalryman who brought Mr. Yanshenggong and others said to the guard in front of the door.
One of the guards came out, took a look at Yan Shenggong, who was wearing a superb court uniform, and said, "Follow me!"
The guard's attitude made Duke Yan very uncomfortable.
But the situation is stronger than the people. He, Yan Shenggong, is of no use in front of the people of the Tiger Flag.
He hated these warriors more and more in his heart. If he were a scholar, he would never dare to treat him and Kong like this. Lan
"Master, do we have to take the things we brought with us?" The chief at the side reminded him hurriedly when he saw that Yan Shenggong was about to follow the guards into the yard.
In addition to Yan Shenggong, there was also a book of fish scales brought from Qufu in the sedan chair.
Duke Yansheng stopped and said to his attendant: "Take your things and come in with me."
】
After explaining, he entered the yard despite being guarded.
The courtyard is very ordinary. The gatehouse is wrapped in blue bricks, while the courtyard walls on both sides are made of adobe.
There are only three main rooms and two side rooms in the yard, all of which are made of blue bricks on the outside and adobe on the inside.
Naturally, such a house would not be in the eyes of Yan Shenggong, but in this village, it is already the best house. If the owner of the family is not a scholar, it is impossible to afford such a house. Lan
Although the yard is not big, there are as many sentries as there should be.
Duke Yansheng and his eldest followers were brought into the main room.
As soon as he entered the door, Yan Shenggong noticed that there was a person sitting in the main seat of the main room, and there was another person next to him.
I guessed in my heart that the person in the main seat should be the person I want to meet this time.
However, as Yan Shenggong, he did not speak first, maintaining the dignity of Yan Shenggong and waiting for the other party to take the initiative to greet him.
Chen Xunping in the room looked at Yan Shenggong up and down.
The high-quality court uniform that looks like a flower rooster is really eye-catching, even if you don't want people to know that he is Yan Shenggong. Lan
"Mr. Kong, please take a seat!" Chen Xunping raised his finger and pointed to the free bench beside him.
As for the official title of Yanshenggong, it was conferred by the Ming Dynasty to the Kong family and had nothing to do with his own tiger-character flag, so he did not recognize this super-grade title at all.
When Yan Shenggong heard this title, the corner of his mouth twitched.
I was very unhappy.
Naturally, the expression on his face could not be hidden from Chen Xunping in front of him.
"Have you brought everything?" Chen Xunping didn't care whether the Yanshenggong in front of him was happy or not, he went straight to the point.
Yan Shenggong paused for a moment, a little uncomfortable with the other party's conversation getting straight to the point. Lan
"What? Didn't you bring anything?" Chen Xunping frowned.
The Fish Scale Book and the Yellow Book are what he cares about most. As for Yan Shenggong, in his eyes, he is just a sidekick, just to see what the contemporary Yan Shenggong looks like.
After coming back to his senses, Yan Shenggong hurriedly said: "Bring it, bring it all."
With that said, he turned around and said to the attendant who was following him: "Bring the things here."
Chang Sui walked up with a wooden box in his arms.
Chen Xunping's guard stepped forward, took the wooden box and placed it on the empty table aside.
After opening it, I found that there was no danger, so I picked out some fish scale books and yellow books and showed them to Chen Xunping. Lan
The fish scale book is the land of Qufu, and the yellow book is the Dingkou of Qufu.
Compared with the fish scale book, the yellow book is just a look at it, but it is not accurate. Every big family has to hide a lot of secrets. As a well-known family, the Kong family also rarely does this kind of thing.
You must know that compared with other aristocratic families, the Kong family occupies the entire Qufu. From the county magistrate to the lower officials, they are all members of the Kong family.
Chen Xunping only glanced at it a few times, and after making sure it was correct, he put it aside.
"I have brought the things, can we leave?" Yan Shenggong was unwilling to stay and see the faces of Chen Xunping and others, so he handed over the things and offered to leave.
"No rush." Chen Xunping waved his hand and asked immediately, "Why don't you see the land title deed?"
Duke Yansheng knew that the other party would definitely mention this, and he had already prepared in his heart, saying: "I have brought the fish scale book and the yellow book. As for the land title deeds, those things that belong to me, the Kong family, I think they should There is no need to leave it to you." Lan
"Mr. Kong must have heard that my Tiger Flag will divide the land among the people wherever it goes!" Chen Xunping raised his head and looked at Duke Yansheng in front of him.
Duke Yan nodded and said, "I've heard of it a bit, but I think you are still rebels after all, and you would never engage in banditry like trying to seize other people's property."
"You are right, Tiger Character Banner cannot do anything to seize other people's property, let alone family property." Chen Xunping seemed to agree with Yan Shenggong's words.
But before Yan Shenggong could breathe a sigh of relief, Chen Xunping continued: "But any family who does not cooperate with our Tiger Character Banner, or who commits wrath and resentment in the local area, our Tiger Character Banner will publically try them one by one. According to different The crimes were punished with different punishments, and finally the family property was confiscated."
"I, the Kong family, belong to a family of saints!" Yan Shenggong emphasized.
Chen Xunping picked up the big teapot on the table and took a sip of water, and said with a playful expression: "The saint family does not mean that everyone is a saint. At least I have never heard of any other saints from the Kong family since Kong. .”
"I, Mr. Kong, are a role model for scholars all over the world. Everyone in the world will respect me, Mr. Kong, in exchange for the support of scholars all over the world." Duke Yan Sheng argued for Mr. Kong. Lan
After hearing this, Chen Xunping smiled contemptuously and said: "The tiger-character flag has its own formal rules of the tiger-character flag, and it will not be different just because of you, the Kong family. As for the things that you, the Kong family, rely on, they are just What the emperors of all ages have given you is nothing in my eyes."
"Aren't you afraid of offending all the scholars in the world?" Yan Shenggong's eyes turned red.
He did not allow others to slander Kong.
Chen Xunping put down the big teapot in his hand and said: "You, Kong, can't replace the scholars in the world. If the scholars praise you Kong, you will really be the masters of the world. Wrong, Sage Kong has This qualification, but he has been dead for thousands of years, and those of you who claim to be his descendants cannot afford such a title."
"I, the Kong family, come from a family of saints." Yan Shenggong mentioned Kong's origin again.
Chen Xunping leaned on the back of the chair behind him and said: "There are more than just Kong family saints in the world. As long as all the dirty things about you Kong family are exposed, do you think no one can replace you Kong family?" ?”
Hearing this, Yan Shenggong's expression suddenly changed. Lan
As a powerful family that has been passed down for thousands of years, the Kong family cannot be pure and innocent.
