Kong Yinzhi, who was sitting in the first seat, had a dull expression and stared at Kong Yantai, the official of the Hundred Households, and his heart went crazy as he stared at him.
boom……
Kong Yinzhi slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Kong Yantai, you are so brave!"
"I can tolerate the arrogance and domineering disciples of the Confucius family and run rampant in the countryside. After all, there are many disciples of the Confucius family, so it is normal for a few bastards to appear.
But with nine murders involved in eight years, how many things have you hidden from me?
As an official of a hundred households, in charge of the family law of the Confucius family, how can the Confucius family be okay if he indulges his disciples like this? "
Kong Yantai trembled, stood up, and whispered: "Clan leader, it is difficult for me to do this. After those disciples committed crimes, their parents, relatives and friends came to plead for mercy.
They are all members of the same clan, and they are very close. I can't help it. I can't really let Kong Yanxiang kill him!
Who knew that such a thing would be revealed. Now those who have been involved in murder cases have been killed. Although other disciples have some problems, it is not a big deal. "
"madness!"
Kong Yinzhi snorted coldly: "Lu Xiangsheng, you have all investigated. With his ability, he is also the magistrate of Qufu County, which means he can be captured easily.
With the blessing of the imperial power, as long as he wants to investigate, I'm afraid he can find out everything that happened in the past ten years.
By then, the disciples of Confucius will be dead.
There is no murder case against them, but in the Ming Dynasty laws, there are many punishments of thirty, fifty, or even one hundred rods.
The executioners were all military men. In such a situation, do you think those disciples could survive? "
Everyone looked shocked. Lu Xiangsheng's ability to get the 'best' rating in all previous assessments already explained the problem.
What the patriarch said is not very possible, but will definitely happen.
"Kong Yantai, how many disciples have violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty and are punished by rods above thirty?"
Kong Yantai pondered for a moment, then hesitated and said: "I don't know the specifics. I estimate there are at least eighty or ninety people."
"It's really...looking for death!"
Kong Yinzhi wanted to curse, but he held back: "These disciples in the mansion, let them gather in the third hall, I will arrange it myself later!"
"Yes, I'll do it right now!"
Kong Yantai responded immediately, then hesitated and said: "There are still many disciples traveling outside. They..."
"Fend for yourself!"
"cocoa……"
"I personally kicked Kong Xingxie out of the family tree!"
Kong Yinzhi's cold words instantly made Kong Yantai shut up, turned around and left the second hall.
Everyone in the hall looked confused, but they didn't dare to say anything.
After a while, an old man spoke up: "Maojia, you are Duke Yansheng and the patriarch of the Kong family. You are responsible for the entire Kong family. Tell me, did Kong Xingxie collaborate with the enemy?"
"Fifth Uncle, I know my son well. Although he is a little reckless and unstable now,
But he didn't dare to do such a big thing as collaborating with the enemy, let alone do it without telling me.
Many years later, when I die, he will inherit Yan Shenggong, and he will have money, power, fame, etc. Why should he collaborate with the enemy?
After collaborating with the enemy, he helped Jiannu defeat the Ming Dynasty. The better ending is that we are still the Millennium Confucius Mansion, and he still inherits Yan Shenggong.
It was almost possible that the title of Yanshenggong would be abolished and all the property of our Kong family would be confiscated. They would need it after the war.
They even said they were afraid of us and directly slaughtered us. How could it be as stable as it is now? "
"In other words, the Holy Son's collaboration with the enemy is just a fiction and was framed by the imperial court?"
"I don't know. Duke Cheng Guo collaborated with the enemy and called Kong Xingxie's name before he died. I am also confused as to what happened in the middle!"
"Will..."
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter. Duke Cheng Guo is dead, so there is no evidence for this matter.
Based on the situation at that time, no matter who explains it, Kong Xingxie's collaboration with the enemy cannot be changed! "
Kong Yinzhi's fifth uncle interrupted everyone's argument and looked at Kong Yinzhi: "I won't talk about anything else. If we don't handle the matter of the Kong family's bloodline, it will be a disaster for the family. Tell us what you think." !”
Everyone looked at Kong Yinzhi, waiting for his decision. It took a while before Kong Yinzhi uttered the word "wait".
"Wait? What are you waiting for? Who are you waiting for?"
"Patriarch, do you mean to wait for the results of the imperial court's investigation? Judging from the arrest of Kong Yanxiang, the beheading of my disciples of the Confucius Mansion, and the smashing of the plaque of the Confucius Mansion, this is the imperial court suppressing our Confucius Mansion.
Maybe, the court will use some vicious means, or even frame us. Are we waiting to die? "
"Fourth brother is right. The court's intention is very clear. We can't wait, we have to take the initiative!"
"Attack? Where to attack? Now that Kong Mansion is closed, can you get out?"
"If you go out, who can you look for? Don't think about the officials of the imperial court. If they don't agree with the emperor to do this, these imperial edicts will not be able to get here!"
"As for the people in charge of purchasing, do you think Jin Yiwei will keep an eye on them secretly?
Once we let them pass on the news, we may play into Jin Yiwei's hands, and then we will frame him and slap him with a big hat! "
"This won't work, that won't work either. Can we just wait to die?"
"If you don't wait until death, how can the wandering Ming Dynasty be able to deal with the strength accumulated by my thousand-year Kong family?"
…
Kong Yinzhi did not speak, but everyone in the lobby was talking about it. Every idea proposed was rejected by everyone from multiple angles.
In the end, I found that there was only one word "equivalent".
Not waiting for people or investigations, but waiting for the opportunity.
"As long as the slave-building army is victorious and we take action, we will not only be able to resolve the crisis, but also make the emperor apologize, and the Confucian government's power will be even higher."
After discussing for half an hour, Kong Yinzhi made the final summary.
Listening to Kong Yinzhi's words, one person suddenly said: "Chief, what if the Ming army wins? What should we do?"
Everyone in the lobby was stunned. In their impression, there was no such thing as the victory of the Ming army.
How powerful the Jiannu cavalry was. Several wars between the Ming army and the Jiannu cavalry had already proven how terrifying the Jiannu cavalry was, not to mention that this time it was the Mongolian coalition.
"It's unlikely, Jianu..."
"Nothing is absolute. You must know that after the new emperor ascended the throne, the national treasury was not short of money. He even went crazy to buy food and hoard it, and also rectified the military affairs.
There is money and food, as well as famous ministers and generals such as Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, Man Gui, and Hei Yunlong.
It does not mean that the army won a great victory, as long as both sides suffered losses, it would be a great victory for the Ming army, and even the Jiannu coalition army could not bear it.
With just a few hundred thousand people, can they compare with Ming Dynasty? "
quiet!
Everyone in the hall even slowed down their breathing, and there was a trace of panic in their eyes!
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what might happen. What if the Ming army wins?
The emperor was leading a great victory, coupled with the Son's collaboration with the enemy, the evil deeds of Confucius's disciples, and tens of thousands of soldiers killed in battle... If the people were incited, the Confucius would be finished.
Kong Yinzhi seemed to have been prepared, and said in a deep voice: "In case the Ming army wins, there are only three ways to go!"
