Chapter 309: Trial of Kong Yinzhi

"With prisoners? We heard you right, right? ”

Zhu Youzhen's words not only made the three hundred people confused, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were puzzled.

Isn't today the day of the Emperor's Palace? What to do with the prisoners?

How would they know that the purpose of Zhu Youzhen's reform of the imperial examination was to target those corrupt Confucians.

The corruption of the Ming officialdom, even though there is a relationship between the emperor and the system, but the struggle between factions is fundamental.

The Donglin Party and the civilian clique control the government, but they do nothing for the country and the people, and all of them are seeking their own interests.

It was in order to completely rectify these corrupt Confucianism that Zhu Youzhen personally tried 300 people.

Soon a group of people were taken to the Taihe Hall by the Jinyi Guard, and after going to the palace, they knelt down on the main hall.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty focused on them, and many ministers found a problem.

Many of these people have similar faces, as if they are members of the same family.

With doubts in their hearts, they once again looked at Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites exclaimed:

"Oh my God, isn't this the Great Ming Yan Holy Father Kong Yinzhi? How could he be an old man kneeling here......"

"What? Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi is actually here, could it be that these people are all members of the Kong family, this is ...... It can't be! ”

"It's impossible, it must be that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites recognized the wrong person, how could the saint arrest the Kong family, they are the gods in the hearts of the literati......"

Wenchen Wenwu suddenly talked about it, and even the three hundred people widened their eyes in surprise.

They don't know Kong Yinzhi, and they also think that those people are the Kong family, and with the status of the Kong family in their hearts, they take it for granted that it is impossible for the emperor to punish the Kong family.

What they want to know most now is what it means for the emperor to let these people go to the palace when he is in the palace!

Zhu Youzhen looked coldly at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, except for Sun Chengzong and Fan Jingwen, two insiders.

Everyone else was confused, including Qi Jiguang and Sun Chuanting.

The only difference between them and those civil officials was that although Qi Jiguang and Sun Chuanting were very confused, they did not speak.

As a loyal fan of Zhu Youzhen, even if Zhu Youzhen killed Emperor Laozi, Qi Jiguang and Sun Chuanting would not object.

Zhu Youzhen did not go to enjoy the performances of the civil officials again, but said to those who raised people:

"Yes, they are the people of the Confucius family in Qufu, they are all a group of shameless people, betraying the country for glory and oppressing the people, now I hope you can do what you say, kill Kong Yinzhi with your own hands, come here, bring knives up!"

"Obey"

Before Zhu Youzhen's voice fell, the little eunuch walked to Kong Yinzhi with a tray.

"The emperor spared his life......"

Kong Yinzhi was so frightened that he almost fainted, and he cried bitterly.

Zhu Youzhen's face was full of disgust, and he waved his hand at Cao Zhengchun:

"Tie your hands and feet, gag your mouth, and you're dead!"

"Obey"

Cao Zhengchun stepped to Kong Yinzhi's side, and divided Kong Yinzhi by two with three strokes and five divisions.

Kong Yinzhi was still begging for mercy, and was gagged by Cao Zhengchun again.

"Your Majesty...... This...... How is this a good ......"

After hearing that it was really Kong Yinzhi and the Kong family who were arrested, the entire civil official group and the three hundred people were stupid, they felt too incredible.

Now the emperor asked them to kill the gods in the hearts of the scholars with their own hands, and the three hundred people almost fainted to death.

"Plop Plop Plop ......"

The three hundred people all fell to their knees and trembled, what kind of joke did they make to let them kill Kong Yinzhi?

The civil official group also knelt down in front of Zhu Youzhen and defended Kong Yinzhi one after another.

"Your Majesty, you can't kill the Kong family, and you can't kill Kong Yinzhi, the Holy Father, there must be a misunderstanding here......"

"Yes, the emperor must be cautious, the Kong family will never do such a thing, it must be the Jinyi guards and the eunuchs who framed the Kong family, please Your Majesty will be clear!"

"Your Majesty can't, Weichen dares to guarantee that Kong Yinzhi and the Kong family will never betray the Ming Dynasty, someone must frame ......"

"That's right, Weichen also thinks so, Your Majesty must not believe the words of the traitor, Kong Yinzhi will not do such a thing!"

Seeing the bear-like appearance of these civil officials, Zhu Youzhen had thousands of "grass and mud horses" galloping past in his heart.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang Xichang were all loyal to him, and they were forcibly betrayed by civilian officials.

However, he knew that the show had just begun, so he held back from the fire.

"Come on, show them the evidence of the Kong family's collaboration with the enemy!"

"Obey"

This time, it was no longer the eunuchs who were busy alone, Cao Zhengchun and Qinglong helped to distribute the evidence of the Confucian family's collaboration with the enemy to the Manchu courtiers.

There are not only poems written by Kong Yinzhi for Dongji, but also the tablet of Dashun Yongchang that he enshrined.

Even put the clothes made by the Kong family in front of this group of civil officials.

"This ...... How is this possible, it is impossible for the Kong family to do such a thing, it must still be framed. ”

"Yes, it must be framed, we don't believe it, please Your Majesty to find out!"

"Shengshang, Kong Yinzhi is a descendant of Kong Sheng, they believe in loyalty, filial piety, honesty, honesty, courtesy, righteousness and shame, how can they do the thing of fornication and exile of Kou Dong!"

An official of the Hanlin Academy, kneeling on the Golden Palace, burst into tears:

"Your Majesty, Kong Sheng pays the most attention to Huayi's debate, Kong Yinzhi, as a descendant of Kong Sheng, will never do such a brazen thing, and the minister doesn't believe it......"

Whether it was the Guozi Supervisor of the Hanlin Academy or the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they all shook their heads like rattles.

They usually worship the Confucian family as gods, and even saying a disrespectful word is blaspheming the Confucian family.

The three hundred people are all Confucian protégés, and they have more respect for the Confucian family, how dare they say that Kong Yinzhi is guilty.

"Grass and mud horses, all of them are stopped, as my Ming official, above the court for a traitor to the country and seeking glory, crying and crying into what kind of system, Cao Zhengchun took out all the evidence, and all the witnesses were brought up to take a good look at this group of rotten Confucians!"

In the face of this group of rotten Confucians, Zhu Youzhen did not hold back this time, and finally scolded the grass and mud horses.

Immediately send a decree to bring out all the evidence, he wants to see what else these rotten people have to say.

"Obey"

After Cao Zhengchun received the decree, he looked at these civil officials with white eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head, thinking in his heart:

"A group of ignorant rotten people, waiting for you to look good, the ironclad evidence is so ironclad that you dare to frame our family!"

Soon, Cao Zhengchun led people to bring those witnesses, as well as the correspondence between Kong Yinzhi and the Eastern Prisoner to the Golden Palace.

Among them, there is also a persuasion form written by Kong Yinzhi to Dolgon and evidence signed by Kong Yinzhi!

Zhu Youzhen's face sank like water, got up and walked down the golden hall, picked up those letters and slammed them in front of these civil officials and people.

"You all give me a good look, as well as the officials of the Ministry of Rites, you and the Kong family often have correspondence, carefully identify whether it is Kong Yinzhi's handwritten letter!"

Seeing that the emperor was furious, although these civil officials and people did not know what grass and mud horses were, they still hurriedly picked up the letters on the ground and began to read.

"This ...... How is this possible......"

In the face of ironclad evidence, although they already feel bad in their hearts, they are still quibbling in their mouths.

"Your Majesty, these are indeed Kong Yinzhi's own handwriting, but Kong Yinzhi's handwriting can be imitated......"

"yes......"

Qi Jiguang couldn't help but be furious, he pointed at these civil officials with his hand and scolded:

"A group of rotten Confucians, don't fart anymore, there can be a mountain of ironclad evidence, you take my Ming Dynasty's Yulu, and you dare to discuss the saint for a mere Kong Yinzhi, today is the emperor sparing you, and I Qi Jiguang will never let you go......"
