"The bone method is strict and the Tao strength is powerful!"
Listening to Zhou Yuji's admiration, the people watching were a little confused.
They wanted to ask Zhou Yuji, what are you talking about? Can you say something we can understand?
But everyone in the Confucius Mansion and the onlookers understood Zhou Yuji's words, especially when the people in the Confucius Mansion faced Zhou Yuji, they naturally saw where Zhou Yuji's eyes were resting.
Kong Yinzhi's heart skipped a beat and he secretly thought something was wrong. Just when he was about to shout angrily, Zhou Yuji spoke first.
"Mr. Yan Sheng, the 'Holy Mansion' on the door of Confucius Mansion must have been written by Yan Song!"
Before Kong Yinzhi could answer, the crowd exploded.
"Yan Song? Which Yan Song? It can't be that Yan Song!"
"Isn't it possible? That's the traitorous minister. This is Confucius's mansion. He is a descendant of Confucius and a heirloom of poetry, calligraphy and etiquette. There is an inscription of the traitorous minister hanging on the Confucius mansion?"
"It must be him. I have passed by here several times. I have thought about the word 'Holy Palace' over and over again. Every time, I feel that you are so elegant.
But I never thought it was Yan Song's calligraphy. In my Ming Dynasty, Yan Song's calligraphy was unprecedented and would not be seen in the next hundred years! "
"Who is Yan Song you are talking about? Why do I get more and more confused the more I hear it?"
"The great traitor of the Jiajing Dynasty, he joined the cabinet at the age of sixty-three. He was promoted to a young master and a grand master of the crown prince, a bachelor of the Jinshen Palace, and later a junior master and a bachelor of the Huagaidian Palace. He specialized in state affairs for nearly fifteen years.
During his reign, those who framed his colleagues would be put to death quickly, formed cliques for personal gain, took bribes, and his party members and descendants were even more domineering, arrogant and extravagant, running rampant in the court.
As a result, the country's power was weakened, the Jiubianyu was severely damaged, and the people were ravaged. When Shizong succeeded to the throne, his family was confiscated. "
"If you don't know this, then you must know that I besieged the city of Beijing and paid tribute to the imperial court. It was the good deeds of his son Yan Shifan, two treacherous officials in one clan!"
"Although this man is treacherous, his calligraphy and poetry are both excellent. Especially his calligraphy, he can definitely be regarded as the best among all.
I just never thought that the word "Holy Palace" hanging in the Confucius Mansion was actually written by Yan Song, which simply subverted my imagination. "
"Hmph, the dignified Queen Confucius is labeled as a treacherous minister. She has ulterior motives!"
"It's understandable. It's said that Yan Shenggong's heiress is Yan Song's granddaughter!"
"It is probably this word that caused many misunderstandings among the disciples of the Confucius family, causing them to fight for power and gain without any scruples..."
…
Yan Song was a minister of the Jiajing Dynasty, eighty or ninety years ago, and none of the people watching could match his age.
I didn't know it at first, but after the explanation from the scholar next to me, I suddenly started to curse.
"Mr. Yansheng, have you heard the people's comments?"
"Your Majesty asked this commander to ask you, what is the purpose of having a traitor in your Kong family?"
Listening to Zhou Yuji's question, Kong Yinzhi's eyes narrowed. These words seemed to be nothing, but in fact they were a big trap.
If you say you don't agree, you are questioning the conclusions of Emperors Jiajing and Longqing. This is a crime of great disrespect.
If you agree, then you, a holy place for scholars, have the word "treacherous official" hanging on it. What are you worried about?
No matter how you answer, you will be reviled.
Kong Yinzhi said lightly: "It's just a piece of calligraphy. Our Kong family only recognizes the achievements of calligraphy and does not evaluate the merits and demerits of the person who wrote it!"
If I remember correctly, the "Hanlin Academy Office" on the Hanlin Academy in the capital and the "Zhigongtang" on the plaque of the main hall of Shuntian Prefecture were also mentioned by Yan Song.
One is a place to nurture talents and the other is a majestic place to select talents for the imperial court. According to what you said, does the imperial court also have ulterior motives? "
Duke Yan's answer shocked the onlookers again. They didn't expect that so many secrets would be revealed.
Immediately, everyone's expressions looked like they had eaten shit. They had just scolded the Confucius Mansion, so there was no difference between the Hanlin Academy, the Gongyuan Academy, and the Confucius Mansion. What should we do?
Zhou Yuji was sweating slightly on his forehead, secretly feeling lucky.
If Li Ruolian and others hadn't mentioned this matter during the investigation, today's errand would have been ruined.
"Mr. Yan Shenggong may not know yet, but His Majesty was very angry when he learned about those inscriptions written by Yan Song. He ordered them to be taken down and smashed on the spot!"
"Smashed?"
Kong Yinzhi was slightly stunned, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart. Before he could speak, Zhou Yuji started drinking violently.
"Someone, take down the plaque of the Holy Palace and smash it!"
"As you command!"
Six sonorous and powerful voices sounded, and they rushed towards the door.
I saw six people changing positions while running. When they arrived in front of the gate, the four people in front were facing each other in a lunge position, with their hands intersecting in the shape of a chair.
The two people behind jumped up. At the highest point, the intersecting hands of the two people in the lunge appeared under their feet. The person in the air used the force to jump up again, reaching the height of the plaque.
The two of them pulled the plaque with their hands, relying on the weight and the impact of the downward thrust to pull the hanging plaque down.
Bang...dang...
The plaque hit the ground with a dull sound.
Then two sergeants carrying axes rushed forward, slashing and smashing at the plaque.
The violent sound of smashing and smashing resounded in the hearts of the people like thousands of horses galloping, and everyone's eyes were full of horror.
It is reasonable to say that the Qufu County Magistrate was taken down because of his ignorance and incompetence, covering up murders, etc.
It would be reasonable to say that eight disciples of the Confucius family were beheaded in the square for violating the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
But this violent removal of the plaque on the main gate of the Confucius Mansion was a naked slap in the face.
He even put the Kong family's face, majesty, and honor on the ground and stepped on it again and again.
The people grasped the baskets, poles, etc. in their hands tightly. They wanted to rush up and smash them a few times to enjoy themselves and relieve their hatred!
"You, you...are presumptuous!"
"Stop, stop!"
"I'll fight you!"
"Where are the guards? Capture them for me!"
"Common man, bandit, robber..."
…
Everyone in the Kong Mansion woke up in shock, and their hearts were bleeding when they saw that the plaque made of fine red sandalwood was smashed to pieces.
He rushed toward the door with a face full of anger, but as soon as he took a step forward, he was met by Sergeant Teng Xiang's right guard with a stern face and a long sword unsheathed.
The sergeants took out their swords from their sheaths and pointed them diagonally at everyone. The swords gave off a dazzling light in the sun.
The meaning is very clear, if you dare to step forward, you will be killed directly.
"stop!"
Kong Yinzhi shouted loudly, frightening everyone in the Kong family and freezing in place.
Looking at the people in the Kong family who were not moving forward, Zhou Yuji secretly sighed in his heart.
Before leaving, the emperor told him that if he wanted to make more trouble, it would be best to take the opportunity to kill a few of the talkmakers in the Confucius family.
He was charged with crimes such as resisting orders, causing trouble, obstructing errands, etc. The Confucius family was always responsible for the fault, but it was a pity that the Confucius family was not fooled.
But he was not ready to give up. When he was about to speak, Kong Yinzhi's gloomy voice came.
"Commander Zhou, you have also tied up the Qufu County Magistrate, you have cut down the Confucius disciples, and you have smashed the plaques. If everything is fine, then please do as you please!"
Zhou Yuji looked at everyone and smiled, which made everyone's hearts tremble.
"Who said that this commander is fine?"
Stretching out his right hand, a sergeant took the package from behind, took out a box, and then took out an imperial edict.
"Kong Yinzhi accepts the order!"
