In the front office of the Kong Mansion, a member of the Kong family suddenly jumped up and criticized Kong Ne and Kong Gongjian, his father and his son, in public.
"Your Highness!"
A middle-aged man who had changed into mourning clothes stood up and looked at Zhu Yunxi with sorrow in his eyes. He shouted sadly and waved his hands angrily at Kong Na and Kong Gongjian, his father and son.
Zhu Yunxi was already sitting on the main seat in the hall. Hearing the sound, his eyes looked over lightly.
Judging from the man's age, he must be the son of the third wife of the Kong family who died today. Beside this person, an older white-haired woman was crying silently, supported by several female family members.
The man was full of grief and anger, and angrily rebuked Kong Ne and his son: "Your Highness, Kong Ne is the Holy Duke of Yan, and he does not want to serve the country, educate the people, and establish schools and assistants. In the Confucius Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion, they acted perversely, levied and extorted money, oppressed the people, and colluded with the government. He pretended to be the Duke of Yansheng, and he pretended to be a minister of the Ming Dynasty.
When Kong Na and his son were in the Confucius Mansion, they even used the big house to oppress the small house, without any intention of being close to each other, and the clansmen did not dare to refute. The Confucius family, young and old, all live under the obscene power of his father and son.
Kongne's youngest son did not want to go to school. He always caused trouble to his neighbors and robbed women of the people. After the incident, Kongne used the title of duke to oppress the people and wrap up his official position. The civilian girl was covered in blood, died of injustice, and never closed her eyes.
Kong Gongjian thought that his eldest son would act arrogantly from time to time, wear fancy clothes and wrong colors, and talk about the emperor's faults. This boy is so bold and has no ambition to be superior to the king.
The student asks Your Highness to investigate carefully and clarify the punishment. Don't allow such sanctimonious and scorpion-hearted people as Kong Na and his son to steal high positions and cause trouble for thousands of years. "
The man was extremely sad, his voice was full of emotion, and he was pointing angrily at the faces of Kong Ne and his son.
Kong Gongjian, who was kneeling at Zhu Yunxi's feet, was terrified. The thing he least wanted to see happened.
If I had known this, I should have let these people beat each other to death.
But now he couldn't care about it anymore. He crawled forward two more steps and lay on his knees. He looked up at his father Kong Ne who was standing aside.
Although Kong Ne still didn't know what happened to the Kong family after the arrival of the emperor's grandson today, but looking at the situation at the moment, he also knew in his heart that something big must have happened if the little ones could say those words.
finally.
Yanshenggong, who has been inherited for thousands of years, belongs to a family of saints, and is hereditary, finally knelt down.
Kong Ne waved away his robe, bent his knees, put his hands on the ground, and then knelt on the ground weakly.
He knocked his forehead on the ground.
"My lord, please observe clearly, Your Majesty the Imperial Grandson, I have received the favor of the emperor, how can I dare to be arrogant and disobedient? I will remember the grace of the emperor day and night for five years, so that the emperor will be healthy and the country will continue to prosper."
When Kong Na opened his mouth, Kong Gongjian kowtowed to the side.
Today, he was kowtowing in front of the Dacheng Hall of the Confucius Temple until his head was bleeding. When he returned home, he had to clean it up hastily because of various things, and he didn't even have time to ask for bandages.
Now, after just a few blows, his head was covered in blood again.
It's just that the blood can't suppress the rest of the Kong family who are already mentally active at this moment.
"Your Highness, students testify that Kong Ne and his son have disobedient intentions!"
"The ambitious father and son of Kong Na used Ming ministers to pay homage to the sinful emperor of the former Yuan Dynasty. They set up a private temple, kept Yuan letters, and offered sacrifices at a distance during the season. When the students heard about these crimes of great disrespect and treason, they were filled with shock, and they didn't even know that I The Kong family comes from people who have no king or father, are unfaithful and unfilial."
"Students, please give His Highness a clear warning and punish Kong Ne severely..."
In the front office of Kong Mansion, the whole hall was silent, and everyone had a look of shock and surprise on their faces.
After the silence, there was an uproar.
Kong Gongjian's brother was the first to take action. Before the man who raised the head could finish speaking, he climbed up and kicked the opponent hard.
Then he stepped forward and pressed the opponent firmly, making fists with his hands, and landed on the opponent's head like crazy.
"are you crazy!"
"Are you crazy?"
"Ah! He is so obsessed with gaining the title of Duke of Saints that he is out of his mind and making false accusations!"
"You're such a confused bitch, you think that this way you can let Yan Shenggong's position fall to you?"
"Who dares to commit such a crime of great disrespect and treason? If you do it, it will be a crime of confiscating your family and annihilating your clan, and you can't run away!"
"Bullshit! Bullshit!"
"Oh!"
In the hall, Kong Gongjian's brother's eyes were bloodshot and he punched the man's body, face and head one after another.
Naturally, the people in that room couldn't just sit idly by and watch. A swarm of swarms came forward to fight back. When the disciples in the big room saw this, they also stepped forward.
Kong Na and Kong Gongjian's hearts sank when they heard that they were accused by their tribesmen of offering sacrifices to Qian Yuan.
The father and son bowed heavily at Zhu Yunxi's feet.
"Your Highness, I would never dare to do such a treasonous and unethical thing. Please be careful, Your Highness."
"The clan members are crazy and talking nonsense in anger, which cannot be believed."
Kong Na and Kong Gongjian, father and son, felt really cold at this moment.
That would be a very treasonous thing to do to offer sacrifices to Qian Yuan.
Why did he let that bastard know what happened and tell him about it?
Zhu Yunxi never lowered his head and looked sideways at Zhang Hui.
Zhang Hui immediately led people forward and used force to separate the struggling Kong family members again.
Kick, kick, kick.
At this time, there was a dense sound of footsteps coming from the rain hall in front of the hall.
"Report!"
"found it."
"The object of great rebellion to the Kong family has been found."
The secret guards and the imperial guards, led by Tian Mai, walked in from outside with a flourish. Along with them came boxes, baskets, etc.
When Tian Mai loudly shouted that he had found the treacherous object of the Kong family, Kong Na and Kong Gongjian, father and son, who were kneeling at Zhu Yunxi's feet, all went limp and could no longer utter a word. Both of them felt weak and weak. , paralyzed on the ground.
Kong Gongjian's younger brother, as well as the elder brother who had previously been aggressive and wanted to teach the clan members a lesson, also lost their minds, staring with their mouths open, and whining breaths coming from their throats.
As for the rest of the Kong family, their consciousness is basically dull.
As Kong Gongjian's brother said before, these sacrifices to remember the events of the previous dynasty are the most treasonous and treasonous, and it is not wrong to say that they have rebellious intentions.
The crime of great treason is to punish the nine tribes.
Kong Ne and his son and the eldest family of the Kong family were finished, and so were the rest of the Kong family.
For a time, the entire lobby of the front office of the Kong Mansion was wailing, and everyone looked pale.
At this time, Tian Mai had already walked in with people and things, and began to introduce them.
"Your Highness, I have searched the Confucius Mansion and found four sacred thrones and four portraits from the previous dynasty."
"Confucius built a secret room and worshiped it in secret. The ministers and others observed its interior. There was no dust, and the incense candles were burning all the time."
"There are also dozens of canonization imperial edicts from the previous dynasty secretly stored, and countless rewards."
"There are also thousands of books and classics collected by the former palace, which are being inventoried and verified in the darkroom."
God's statue and image.
That must be to worship the former emperor.
Moreover, it is necessary to offer it at any time so that there is no dust and the incense candle never stops.
As for the previous imperial edicts and books, they no longer seem very important.
These alone are enough to convict the entire Kong family.
All the Kong family members in the hall collapsed to the ground.
Zhu Yunxi snorted, looked at Zhu Gaochi aside, and sighed: "This is a family of saints."
Zhu Gaochi had a serious expression on his face, glanced at Zhu Yunxi, and then looked at the Kong family present.
With what Tian Mai found out today, it was impossible for those in the court to say anything to plead for mercy. Scholars in the world have some gossips, but after all, they dare not express anything blatantly on such a big issue of right and wrong.
Zhang Hui, a member of the Jin Yiwei family, stood up from the side, bowed and clasped his fists: "Your Highness, all members of the Kong family involved in the treason case shall be detained in Beijing according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty and shall be kept pending trial by the court."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Mai coughed lightly.
Under the gaze of everyone, Tian Mai looked a little solemn: "Your Highness, I searched the Confucius Mansion today and found something else..."
From a habitual point of view, the Kong family has now stopped worshiping the emperor of the previous dynasty and recalling the events of the previous dynasty. There is nothing more serious than this.
But Tian Mai's face showed that the matter seemed to be more serious.
Kong Ne and Kong Gongjian, father and son, were lying on the ground, their whole bodies seemed to have flown away. They turned around blankly, their faces were not even a trace of blood, and were as white as snow.
Zhu Yunxi said with a straight face: "Say."
Tian Mai Yining: "I and others found that there were letters between the Confucius Mansion and outside the Great Wall, and some letters have been preserved recently. Based on my speculation, there should have been letters exchanged before, but they must have been destroyed by the Confucius Mansion."
At this time, the entire front office of Kong Mansion exploded.
The other Fang clan members of the Kong Mansion, who were already despairing, became completely angry and lost their minds.
They got up in a swarm, rushed to the big house brother, and surrounded these people, punching and kicking them risklessly.
No matter how hard the surrounding Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers pulled, they couldn't move it even a little bit.
"You are really lost!"
"Collude with foreign enemies, exchange letters, what do you want to do?"
"The Kong family is gone, the Kong family is gone, the Kong family is really gone..."
"The ancestors have spirits in heaven. Open your eyes and take a look at these unscrupulous descendants. The Kong family... The Kong family was defeated by people like them!"
"It's gone, there's nothing left..."
"..."
Some people are angry and hysterical, venting their anger towards the eldest brother of the Kong family.
And more people have lost their souls, and their energy seems to have been sucked away in an instant, turning into walking zombies.
Colluded with the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty outside the Great Wall, and frequently exchanged letters.
This kind of crime goes far beyond offering sacrifices to the previous king and retaining things given by the previous dynasty.
A moment ago, it was the children of the eldest family who were beating up the people in the other houses. Now it was the same people, but it was the children of the other houses of the Kong family who were beating up the people in the eldest house angrily.
Because Kong Na and Kong Gongjian were right in front of Zhu Yunxi's feet, the Kong family members who were extremely angry still did not dare to come close.
The two father and son murmured for a moment, then hugged Zhu Yunxi's legs.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness..."
"I beg your Highness to forgive me."
"The guilty minister made countless mistakes. Your Highness wants to beat and punish him, so he will punish the guilty minister."
The dignified Yanshenggong Kongne was already in tears at this moment, and he was uttering random words of begging for mercy.
Kong Gongjian, a young man who had been smart since he was a child and was in charge of the affairs of the Kong family, now lost his former glory.
"Your Highness makes atonement. From now on, I will do whatever His Highness tells me to do. I am willing to make oxen and horses for Your Highness to repay Your Highness for living."
Zhu Yunxi frowned and shook his legs, but he didn't care about the father and son of the Kong family, so his face became more gloomy.
Tian Mai, who had been watching and waiting for Taisun's order, saw this situation and immediately waved to several of his subordinates to come forward.
The officers and soldiers grabbed Kong Ne and his son from left to right, but they could not drag them away.
Then there were officers and soldiers with swords in their scabbards, and they hit Kong Ne and his son hard on the heads.
There was a splash of blood, and Kong Ne and his son finally let go of their hands, their heads covered with blood mixed with scattered hair, and allowed the officers and soldiers to drag them aside.
Without the restraints, Zhu Yunxi finally stood up.
He shook his robe and looked at the mess in front of the hall of the dignified saint's family with some disgust, like a vegetable market.
"The Kong family is just an archway that has been standing for a thousand years."
"Everyone can come and worship. Everyone regards it as a god, but no one wants to be contaminated."
"The loyalty of the Kong family?"
There was a trace of sarcasm on Zhu Yunxi's face, and he sneered. He lowered his head and looked at Kong Ne and his son, who were pressed down by the long knives in the hands of the officers and soldiers. They could only huddle together with dull eyes and look at him in fear.
Zhu Yunxi smiled contemptuously: "The loyalty of the Kong family is worthless to Gu."
He picked up his steps and walked out of the hall.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing followed suit and followed Zhu Yunxi.
When Zhu Yunxi walked to the front porch of the hall, a bright light suddenly flashed in the sky, followed by rolling thunder.
The raindrops fell down in an instant.
Zhu Yunxi stopped.
Zhu Gaochi stood aside and whispered: "Call the umbrella over and then leave the house?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head and looked back at the hall.
"There is no fault in the saints. Confucius taught all peoples, and his merits will be judged by the world and future generations."
"The head of the Confucius family has no king's law and no emperor. He sacrifices to the former dynasty and connects with the outside world. The crime is unforgivable. The other children of the Confucius family have been raised in glory for many generations and have no regard for the progress of the country. They are guilty and should be punished."
After leaving some words at last.
Zhu Yunxi no longer looked at the chaotic front hall of the Confucius Mansion, but looked outside the corridor.
There was loud thunder in the sky, and lightning passed through the clouds, landing somewhere unknown.
The rain also became denser.
However, Zhu Yunxi still walked into the rain alone. Zhu Gaochi was busy and was about to find an umbrella. When he saw Yutian, the manager of Taisun Mansion, he found an umbrella from nowhere and appeared in front of him. He immediately grabbed the umbrella, opened it and chased after him.
And under the Confucius Hall.
Tian Mai, who had received accurate information, instantly showed a murderous look on his face.
Tian Mai waved his hand: "Taishun ordered to detain a group of people from the Kong family. The Jin Yiwei went out to hunt down the Kong family members. All the elder brothers of the Kong family were put in shackles. The rest were detained and restrained. Together with the evidence of their crimes, they were sent to Ying Tian, hand it over to the imperial court."
"The fields and properties under the Kong family's name are seized, and the gold and silver in the house are fine. The slaves under the name are registered and recorded, and the tenants under the name are clarified. All relevant things are sealed and reserved for future development."
"Report to the Commander of the Jinyi Guards and Envoy Si Yamen, please investigate the place and arrest all those who enter the nine clans of the Kong family."
Pattering.
Outside Kong Mansion, the rain became heavier and heavier.
Zhu Gaochi held an umbrella, barely blocking himself and Zhu Yunxi.
He kicked one deep and the other lightly, with a solemn expression: "With the Kong family's treatment, do we still need to ask Grandpa Huang to know first? After all, the weight of a thousand-year inheritance in the hearts of the people in the world is not something that a few of us can bear. There is also the rebellion on Shandong Road. How to eliminate it? It still needs to be ended this morning."
Zhu Yunxi stopped.
Zhu Gaochi was caught off guard and bumped into Zhu Yunxi's back while holding an umbrella.
Bean-sized water droplets fell in clusters from the edge of the umbrella like beads.
Zhu Yunxi raised his hand to lift the umbrella, expressionless, and said calmly: "There is a rebellion in Shandong Road. The Kong family is in trouble right now. It won't take half a month to be put down by Zhang Zhiyuan and others."
The sound of thunder, wind, and rain became louder and louder.
Zhu Gaochi shouted at the top of his voice: "What about the Kong family?"
Zhu Yunxi picked up his steps.
"I will return to Beijing to set the world's heart."
