Chapter 106
Cui Shi nodded again and again when he heard this, but he was strange: "In that case, why did my father-in-law let Xiuru go?" "It is impossible for my father-in-law to think about Confucianism because he is good in the Confucianism exam, everything is not necessary for Confucius Xiuxian, so it is possible to take the turn of Confucianism.

When the two of them said this, Kong Shanglan's face couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved: "It's not that Kong Xiuxian's stupid boy didn't want to repair the book, so he wrote to his father to complain, and it happened that the letter we wrote to our father to report the good news for Xiu Ru arrived, and my father thought of such an idea... Asking Xiu Ru to go to the book by himself, isn't it embarrassing for Xiu Ru..."
"Father-in-law, too... It's too eccentric..."Cui Shi couldn't help but burst into tears, leaning his head on the shoulder of his father-in-law, Kong Shanglan felt uncomfortable, anyone who had such an eccentric father could not have a little resentment in his heart. Fortunately, he insisted on marrying a daughter-in-law who could be with him, and the two now have the same heart, and there is no need to say anything, and a warm feeling flows silently between the two.
After a long while, Kong Shanglan let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it, I'll write to Uncle Clan and ask him to help think of a way." "This clan uncle is also a side branch of the Kong family, but he is about the same age as Kong Shanglan, the two have played well since childhood, and the relationship is close, and later Kong Shanglan left Shandong, he also went out to study, and later when Kong Shanglan went back, he was already a minor official in the household department, and he happened to be in charge of the household registration, so Kong Shanglan was able to help Cui Piye change his name and surname so smoothly, and later recovered.
Cui Shi also straightened up, looked at him and said, "I'll go and prepare some gifts and ask someone to send them over." The Cui family is also full of gratitude to this uncle, so when he gives gifts to the Kong family during the New Year, he will never forget this uncle's family.
Before the two of them stood up, they saw Cui's girl walking into the door with a letter in her hand: "Look, Mrs., the young master has sent a letter back!" ”
Cui Shi forgot what he was going to do at this time, and said in surprise: "Bring it over and show it to me!" ”
The two leaned together to read Kong Xiuru's letter.
Kong Xiuru's personality is like his father's ten out of ten, this time he wrote back, but also first cut and then played, it turned out that the third elder brother ordered Kong Xiuxian to repair the book that day, but Kong Xiuru took the initiative to ask the emperor to go to the emperor later, saying that he admired the style of the emperor back then, and the emperor happened to see Kong Xiuru's excerpt, and his heart was secretly refreshed, so he agreed. The emperor thought that the two Confucian families would go to repair the book, and buried the two talents at once, and in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that he was too faceless for the Confucian family. I happened to hear that Kong Xiuxian wanted to go to the Ministry of War, so Kong Xiuxian sent another official of the Ministry of War to do, and the day the holy decree arrived coincided with the day when the eldest brother entered the palace to give the emperor and the emperor thanks, and was seen by Kong Xiuxian, who was going to enter the palace to hand over the excerpt of thanks, thinking that it was the eldest brother who helped him intercede, and his gratitude to the eldest brother in his heart was a little more.
In the end, by the time Kong Shanglan received the letter, the matter was actually a foregone conclusion. Kong Shanglan and Cui's family, you look at me, I look at you, it can be regarded as a crooked fight, and there is nothing to say.
However, when going to bed at night, Cui Shi and Kong Shanglan quietly complained. The two of them took a break from the clouds and rain, and Kong Shanglan was not in a good mood today, so he talked a little more, and talked about the past that uncle heard from his father later. Why does this Kong Su of the Confucian family care so much about Kong Xiuxian's position? And why is it so eccentric? It all started with the Regent's rebellion. At that time, Kong Su was only his father's youngest son, and he did not need to inherit the Kong family. The grandson of the Kong family has always adhered to the idea of educating his son fairly and justly, and does not restrict the children's interests and development directions. At that time, Emperor Taishang had just ascended the throne, and Kong Su's two elder brothers had just taken the new science and technology jinshi examination, and they both became Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy.
Everyone knows that the Hanlin Academy is very close to the emperor, and can often enter the palace to talk to the emperor, and some people can even help the emperor draft holy decrees. But at that time, all the holy decrees had to go through the regent, so one of the two elder brothers had a good relationship with the emperor, and the other became good colleagues with the regent. Of course, the subsequent party struggle was gradually brought to the Confucian family, causing internal strife. Until finally the emperor won the pro-government in the struggle, and the regent fell and was liquidated. At that time, the Kong family also suffered a great crime, not only involving the whole family of the elder brother who had a good relationship with the regent and even some people in the clan, but also someone took advantage of this relationship to falsely accuse the Confucian family in front of the emperor, and finally the emperor locked up the Kong family in anger. Fortunately, the emperor was still young when he was in power, and many of his decisions had to be judged by his grandmother, although her grandmother soon found out about the matter and released all the people of the Kong family. But at that time, many officials killed people and killed people, coupled with the different attitudes of the world towards the Kong family, some officials took the opportunity to kill many people from the Kong family, and the two eldest young masters of the Yan branch also died in prison. The head of the Kong family went shortly after he was released from prison, and before he died, he explained to his only remaining son-in-law that he must keep the Kong family and not let the Kong family be slaughtered again. So after being released from prison, only Kong Su, who had only half a life, and his young son Kong Shangying remained, and the side branches were either dead or scattered, so the current number of people in the Kong family in Qufu is really one-tenth of that year. At that time, because of his young age, Kong Shangying was not locked up and was kindly sent to Shantang, but where are the children of Shantang good? Kong Shangying doesn't know how much she has suffered, so she has become the current character who is unwilling to contact people. Kong Su is just the opposite, he recognizes the role of power, he doesn't want to be an ordinary official anymore, but his body does not allow him to go out, so he has been forcing his eldest son son to improve, but he ignores the other son, just afraid that the incident of the regent will repeat itself. But after a long time, when people get old, they only remember that they are partial, and they forget even why they were biased in the first place.
Cui Shi listened to this past, and couldn't help sighing, in fact, when her husband was out of office, the situation of the Kong family was already good, but the things that her father-in-law encountered before were too tragic, and his temperament was a little intense. But fortunately, the Xianggong will feel sorry for people, and she does not seek high-ranking officials in her life, as long as the Xianggong and her son can be safe, and she will be content to marry a good daughter-in-law in the future. But he didn't know that Kong Shanglan was not satisfied, he laughed and wanted to ask for another one, and looked at his wife's blushing face with satisfaction.
