No one expected that the Wang family's best efforts to auction this time were not the only ones.
Orthodoxy is the only thing that is persuasive. If there are four bamboo slips in the hands of each family, and they question each other and argue with each other, it will be a joke to be unorthodox.
Looking at the three bamboo slips, Li Xian thought for a while and gestured to Li Yong behind him.
Li Yun nodded, stood up and hurriedly ran towards Chengtian Gate.
Taking three bamboo slips with him, Li Xian walked out leisurely.
Now that the three most valuable copies have been auctioned off, starting from the fourth, even if there is a lot of fun, it is impossible to surpass the scenes of the top three. With Zhang Youcai and Wang Bo watching over the auction house, there won't be any problems. At the moment, the most important thing for him is to do well what the fraudster Li Zhi arranged.
As I walked through the auction area, my ears were filled with the sound of bidding.
This is a national-scale auction. Due to pressure, those nobles donated all good things, and the secrets of the East Palace Palace are rare in the world. Now that so many treasures were openly displayed, and the emperor endorsed whoever had the money would get it, everyone put aside their worries and squandered money in this gold cave.
After leaving Chengtian Gate, you will find the East Palace around the corner.
As soon as they entered the main gate, they saw Kong Xiaozhe and two tribesmen waiting in front of the door, bowing their heads.
Hurrying forward, Li Xian took two steps forward to feast on Kong Xiaozhe. Li Xian said seriously: "Mr. Kong is of such high rank that even though I am the prince, I can't bear your courtesy!"
Kong Xiaozhe then stood up and said with emotion: "Although we are a thousand-year-old family, we are outdone by the younger generations. The family's treasure cannot welcome back to the family. It is really a joke to the world."
Li Xian smiled and said, "Didn't you yourself say that times make heroes? The Wang family is indeed powerful, but compared to your Kong family, it is nothing. Since Taizong, the Kong family has been too low-key, and has been criticized by others. There is nothing you can do about it. Mr. Kong, the cold wind here is not a good place to talk. How about we go into the palace and drink a cup of hot tea first, and then talk in detail?"
Kong Xiaozhe smiled and nodded.
At this auction, he thought he had lost all face and returned home in vain, but who could have imagined that he would still be able to see the moonlight after the clouds cleared.
Although in terms of comfort, a newly built house that "remembers hardships and sweetness" is the most suitable, but after all, it is to entertain guests, so it needs to be more formal. Therefore, the group did not go far, but came to the Mingde Hall of the East Palace.
As the original place for mock court meetings in the East Palace, this is the most formal place for entertaining guests.
After ordering someone to serve hot tea, Li Xian clapped his hands, and then a eunuch brought a wooden box to Kong Xiaozhe's table.
Kong Xiaozhe took a deep breath to calm himself down, stretched out his trembling hands and opened the box.
Inside the box is a bamboo slip similar to that of the Wang family, and it looks more complete than the one photographed by the Wang family.
After putting on his silk gloves and taking a few glances, Kong Xiaozhe burst into tears.
"I didn't expect that I would be able to welcome such treasures back to my clan during my lifetime. In this way, even if I die immediately, I will still have the dignity to meet my ancestors!"
Not only Kong Xiaozhe, but the two middle-aged men following him also cried bitterly.
Seeing that the three of them couldn't stop for a while, Li Xian didn't urge them, but let them cry.
After a long time, Kong Xiaozhe, who was almost out of breath, was the first to pull himself back.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, put the bamboo slips back into the brocade box, and then turned his attention.
The prince on the throne was still waiting with a smile, but there was a woman beside him.
Under normal circumstances, when formally entertaining guests, no women are allowed to be present, even the princess. But looking at this person's clothes and jewelry, she couldn't be the princess.
How is this going?
Under Kong Xiaozhe's confused gaze, Li Xian smiled: "Mr. Kong has finally recovered. I was worried that you might not be able to breathe, so I specially called Kong Liangdi."
Kong Xinyu then stood up and saluted: "Kong Xinyu, the thirty-fourth generation, pays homage to Taizu."
Kong Xiaozhe frowned, and after thinking for a while, he relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "Your father,
But Kong Zhiyue? "
"Exactly."
After receiving the affirmative answer, Kong Xiaozhe felt even happier.
He never expected that a woman from the thirty-fourth generation of the Kong family would be the crown prince Liangdi, and she seemed to be very favored. In this way, whether it is the matter of the bamboo slips or the future status of the Kong family in the court, it seems... there seems to be a solution.
After coughing lightly, Kong Xiaozhe smiled and said: "It turns out to be Zhiyue girl. When I came to Chang'an, I hugged your brother, but later I got older and couldn't walk long distances. I didn't expect that after your brother, Your parents have you again. Anyway, if you have time, go back to your clan. Although a woman may not be included in the ancestral hall, she must still recognize her ancestors and return to the clan."
Hearing these words, Kong Xinyu was shocked and quickly saluted again: "Thank you Taizu!"
As a woman, Kong Xinyu never thought that she would one day recognize her ancestors as a Hui nationality. Under normal circumstances, only men can enjoy this kind of treatment. Although they cannot be included in the genealogy, this is an unimaginable good thing.
After making the promise, Kong Xiaozhe turned around and said to a middle-aged man behind him: "I have made the decision on this matter, Yan Shan, what do you think?"
Although the matter of a woman recognizing her ancestors and returning to the clan is shocking enough, at the moment, it is very possible for her to be included in the family tree, not to mention recognizing her ancestors and returning to the clan. The return of the treasure of the sages to the Kong family is really important. When the sacrifices were held next year, he could not imagine how grand the scene would be.
"Let Taizu make the decision."
After saying that, he cupped his hands towards Li Xiangong and said, "Your Highness, this is Kong Yan, the thirty-third generation of the Confucius family, whose courtesy name is Yanshan, and is the current head of the Confucius family."
Li Xian returned the favor with a smile: "Since the head of the Kong family agrees, I will send someone to escort Xinyu back to the Kong family next year. If I have time, I will accompany him to visit him."
Kong Yan clapped his hands and laughed: "If the prince can come, the entire Kong family will be really prosperous."
Seeing the two people talking politely, Kong Xiaozhe coughed dissatisfiedly, which immediately made Kong Yan shut his mouth.
Reaching out and touching the brocade box, Kong Xiaozhe said solemnly: "Your Highness, although you never say thank you for your kindness, it is still difficult for me to accept your favor for no reason. I wonder how much your Highness plans to sell this bamboo slip?"
Li Xian smiled and said: "The relics of the sages originally belonged to the Kong family. How dare I sell them? It is a blessing in the world to return them to Zhao intact. However, since Mr. Kong has sadly passed away, why not stay a few more days and see if there is anything you like at the auction?" ,how?"
Hearing this, Kong Xiaozhe immediately laughed. In any case, this time the Kong family had received a great favor from the prince, and he just wanted to repay as much of this kindness as possible.
However, it seems that the prince is also good at doing things. He did not directly ask for money, but just asked the Kong family to spend the money they brought at the auction.
How could he not agree to such a trivial matter?
