"The news from Dong'e County has come, Wang Xiao is still in a coma, and we still have time."

"Take a thousand men and get rid of him...... Act in secrecy and leave no room for error. ”

"Understood." Kong Xingyi bowed his hand.

Kong Yinzhi nodded, took a sip of tea.

"Uncle Zong, my nephew is retiring." Kong Xingyi slowly retreated.

Kong Yinzhi put down the teacup and looked at the glow of the ancient and noble window.

Kong Yinzhi is the Yan Shenggong of this generation.

At the beginning, no one in the Kong family thought that he would become the Holy Duke of Yan. His cousin uncle was Kong Shangxian, the last Yan Shenggong, Kong Shangxian originally had two children, Kong Yinchun and Kong Yingui, but he didn't expect luck to make people, and the two died one after another without leaving an heir.

Kong Yinzhi then entered the great sect, and at the age of thirty, he was crowned the Holy Duke of Yan, and five years later he was added to the prince Taibao, and for another three years, he was the prince and the prince of Jin. Whenever he went to Beijing to meet him, he was above the cabinet scholar of the class. Nominally, he is the head of the heavenly officials.

Today, Kong Yinzhi is fifty-four years old and is not in good health. He had only given birth to four daughters and no male before, so he married a side room Tao, and Tao's stomach was angry, and finally gave birth to a boy named Kong Xingxie.

Kong Xingxie is only eleven years old this year, but he already has the crown dress of Yan Shenggong.

Just last year, Kong Yinzhi felt that his time was running out, so he begged the imperial court to grant his eldest son Kong Xingxie a crown dress first. At that time, the situation in the capital was already imminent, Juyong Pass had been taken by Tang Zhongyuan, and King Wu Yan blocked the way south. However, the Ministry of Rites did not dare to neglect the Yansheng Mansion in the slightest, and after receiving the excerpt, Kong Xingxie's crown suit was immediately shipped from the capital and sent to Qufu in the flames of war.

is also because Kong Yinzhi feels that his time is short, and he has been taking Kong Xingxie by his side to teach for the past year.

At this time, Kong Xingxie was also in the hall, and couldn't help asking: "Father, this Wang Xiao killed the fourth brother-in-law, so we want to kill him, right?" ”

"Not bad."

"That ......"

"The Analects of the Constitution or the Confession, repaying grievances with virtue, what is it?"

"Zi said, how can you repay virtue? Repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue. Kong Xingxie replied with his hand.

"It's on the surface." Kong Yinzhi sighed and said slowly: "We can find a reason for anything on the bright side. But you have to understand what is really important as the head of the family......"

"The child knows that the most important thing is to pass on the Confucian family."

"Not bad." Kong Yinzhi said: "Our ancestors are the 'saints of heaven', we are the 'first in the world', and the inheritance of 1,800 years must not be broken. You are the next Yan Sheng Gong after your father, and your mission in life is to take up the great cause of the family. ”

This has been said countless times? Kong Yinzhi still tirelessly reminded Kong Xingxie? Inject this faith into the bones of the younger son.

Kong Xingxie nodded emphatically, and his young face was resolute.

"Rest with the country...... Rest with the country......"

Kong Yinzhi muttered: "The edict of the Holy Father of Feng Yan for his father is written 'with the same body as the country'? The country can be suspended, and the Holy Father of Yan will last forever and forever. Now it's troubled times again. What do I think is now a contender for the crown in troubled times? How many people can make it happen? ”

"The child thinks that Tang Zhongyuan is in Yanjing? Sharp? It can be one of them; Zheng Yuanhua coerced the young emperor in Nanjing, and Xu Neng sat on half of the country, which was the second; Dolgon supports the young lord of the east in Shengjing, and the soldiers are strong and strong? Invincible? Thirdly; Zhang Xianzhong plundered the land of Bashu and the country of abundance, and if it can be managed properly, it can be the fourth. ”

The eleven-year-old child talks eloquently, but he also has a bit of calmness. Speaking of which, the expression on his little face was a little tangled? After thinking about it, he said: "Zhou Yan, the king of Qi, and the prince of Laiguo laughed...... They hold the remaining troops in the north of the Chu Dynasty, and their disobedience is known to the world? But the territory is small and has no foundation...... Barely for its five. ”

Kong Yinzhi nodded? asked: "What is the dilemma of our Confucian family?" ”

"It's the smallest force that occupies Shandong."

"Not bad." Kong Yinzhi said: "No matter who wins the world, to rule the world, we need to use the way of our ancestors' saints?" All should be given the honor that Confucius deserves. Only this Wang Xiao? It doesn't matter if you are poor and crazy and want to fight the autumn wind? The appetite is still terrible. So, for the sake of the Father, you have to get rid of him, you see? ”

"The child understands."

"This matter has nothing to do with the death of your fourth brother-in-law. If Wang Xiao lets go of the Kong family, does it matter if your fourth brother-in-law dies or not? ”

Kong Xingxie slowly responded: "It's not important. ”

"If one day, if you want to keep the Kong family, you need to kill your sisters and brothers-in-law, how do you choose?"

"Then kill my sister and brother-in-law."

Kong Yinzhi said again: "What if you want to kill your father and your mother? ”

Kong Xingxie hesitated, raised his head to look at his father, and muttered: "Father, our saint's family, the first thing is filial piety......

Kong Yinzhi's face sank, and he asked, "For filial piety?" ”

Kong Xingxie replied: "Zi said, parents are only worried about their illness. ”

Kong Yinzhi shook his head and said, "Father is here, watch his will." Father no, watch his deeds. Three years have not changed the way of the father, which can be described as filial piety. ”

He patted Kong Xingxie's head and said, "You know what your father's ambition is; You know how a father does it...... The father asks you, which is more important, the family or your parents? ”

"Child...... Got it! Kong Xingxie responded, and there were tears in his eyes.

Kong Yinzhi nodded with satisfaction and said, "When Xingyi gets rid of Wang Xiao, my father will go to Jinan in person to see King Qi." In case the Father does not come back, remember what you said today. ”

"Yes."

Kong Yinzhi trained his son, and then asked his subordinates to lead Kong Xingbi and Kong Zhenkan, who were waiting outside the door, in. and asked the housekeeper to take Kong Xingxie to deal with some daily affairs at home.

Watching the small figure of his young son walk into the sunset, Kong Yinzhi had a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth, dizziness, fatigue, and palpitations have become worse and worse these days, and he knows that he has at most two years left in his body.

- Fortunately, before leaving, the crisis of the Kong family was solved. Leave a stable family business to his son......

~~

Kong Xingxie was led by the housekeeper and went outside to deal with some family affairs.

Things are a little tricky today......

Every year, the imperial court will give some official quotas to the Confucian Mansion, which can be sold, and it can be sold for about 500,000 taels a year, and this year the Nanjing Imperial Court also gave some official positions, Kong Xingxie took a look and found that they were all official positions in Shandong.

"These official positions, we let people take office, and the King of Qi doesn't recognize them, right?"

The housekeeper Zhao Decheng accompanied him and nodded: "Gongzi is right, Your Majesty wants our Kong family and King Qi to turn their faces." ”

Kong Xingxie's face was serious, pondered for a while, and said, "Return the silver you have received, this official will not be sold this year." ”

Zhao Decheng agreed, and there was no other expression on his face.

Kong Xingxie glanced at him and asked in a low voice, "Steward Zhao, did I handle it badly?" ”

"Childe dealt with it like this, that is, we suffered a dark loss, but others didn't know that we suffered a loss."

"What does Steward Zhao think about it?"

"Send someone to bring this booklet to Jinan, so that the King of Qi knows that the Kong family has sold him face; Then send someone to Nanjing to let His Majesty know that the Kong family has been wronged in Shandong. ”

Kong Xingxie nodded, looking 'sensitive and studious'......

Then the next thing to deal with is to choose another person to be a student at Nishan College.

Kong Xingxie took a look, and there were two candidates, one was called Kong Xingmi and the other was Kong Xingbi.

Both of them are lifters, and they are similar to each other when they read the files. Kong Xingxie was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked the housekeeper again, "What is the difference between the two clan brothers?" ”

Zhao Decheng said: "Grandpa asked them to ask them a question, how to aspire to be born as a saint?" ”

"How?"

Xingmi replied, for the sake of the saints, he continued to learn.

Kong Xingxie nodded and praised: "Brother Clan has lofty ambitions. ”

Zhao Decheng said: "Xingbi's answer is that he will ensure that the holy name of the Holy Father will not fall. ”

Kong Xingxie was stunned for a moment, understood, raised his hand and recorded the name of 'Kong Xingbi', and the candidate was decided......

An eleven-year-old child, there are not many things that can really be handled, but Kong Yinzhi leaves some unimportant things every day for his son to learn to do.

When the matter was settled, Kong Heung-sub walked through a dark and gloomy corridor back to the inner house.

The corridor was so cramped that it was breathless, and there was only a twilight in front of me, as if walking in the cage of rituals.

Walking through the hallway, Kong Heung-sub felt something dripping on his ears.

He reached out and touched it, feeling sticky and thick.

When he looked up, he saw the corpse of a servant hanging from the top of the corridor, blood dripping down his hand.

"Tick ......"

"Ahh

Kong Xingxie screamed like crazy......

~~

Dong'e County.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, bring me a basin of foot water." Wang Jue said casually.

Sister-in-law Zhang glanced at Wang Jue rather resentfully, and finally went to boil a basin of footwater.

"Master, I heard that Grandpa Guo is still in a coma?"

"yes." Wang Jue sighed and said, "I don't know when I will be able to go home, alas, I really want to go home." ”

"How can you still be unconscious?" Sister-in-law Zhang was puzzled.

- Obviously, as long as you take the antidote, you can wake up soon...... Could it be that Tana didn't give the medicine?

With this in mind, she unconsciously forgot to disguise herself as she walked out.

Wang Jue looked at Sister-in-law Zhang and couldn't help but be stunned.

- Hey, Sister-in-law Zhang...... They are all in their fifties and still so plump.

He shook his head and thought to himself, "I'm crazy because I've been in Dong'a for too long...... Brother Xiao, you can wake up quickly......"

~~

At the same time, Wang Xiao stepped on Kong Yinrong's back with one foot, pulled the rope in his hand, and strangled Kong Yinrong's neck.

Kong Yinrong's entire face turned purple-red, and the fat on his face kept shaking.

The sedan chair trembled and gradually stopped.

Wang Xiao put down the rope and stepped on Kong Yinrong's body and walked out of the sedan chair.

Outside the sedan chair, Tang Qianqian stood with her hands clasped for a long time, and Hua Zhi was holding a knife in her hand to protect her.

Liu Yikou wiped the blood from his hands on the outer wall of the Confucian Mansion. hugged his fists and said: "Grandpa Guo, it's all killed." ”

"Let's go inside." Wang smiled.

This time, he didn't bring many people.

Among the generals, there are only Liu Yikou, Xiao Chai He, Shepherd, Zhuang Xiaoyun, and Greyhound.

Bring them because they haven't fully read the sages. Probably the most vulgar officer in Wang Xiao's army.

As for the soldiers, Wang Xiao only transferred 1,500 henchmen from the Jinyi Guard and the Supervisory Battalion.

If he wanted to kill the Kong family, he didn't dare to use too many people. In this world, anyone who has read a book will oppose this resolution. If you oppose it, you risk it being exposed in advance.

In fact, even Wu Pei did not agree with Wang Xiao's plan this time.

"Guogong! If the prince goes, he will lose the hearts of the world's scholars, and he will not mention the great cause, and he will be infamous in the world after his death......"

Although Wang Xiao ignored Wu Pei's hard advice, he was also vigilant, after all, the concept of people in this era and the respect for Confucius and Mencius are by no means imaginable for modern people.

Even Wang Zhen, Wang Zhu, and Qin Xuance, his die-hard supporters, are afraid that they will oppose this matter. Even if you finally agree, you will regret that you have killed the saint.

All in all, the strength of 1,500 people was not much, and Wang Xiao did not dare to use more people.

The Kong family had 5,000 troops, and 1,500 people rushed up rashly and naturally couldn't beat it, so Wang Xiao had no choice but to leave 1,000 people outside the city, and divided the 500 people into five teams to enter the city in batches, trying to capture the thief and capture the king first.

At this time, after killing Kong Yinrong's team, Liu Yikou ordered people to drag the dead subordinates to a remote place and change into their clothes.

Then, the group rushed to the back door of Kong's house, each hiding, and a soldier wearing a subordinate costume went up and knocked on the door.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

There was a knock on the door, and the door creaked open.

"The nineteenth master has something falling, let the little one come and get it."

The doorman took the sign and glanced at it, and asked, "The people of the Nineteenth Master?" Why is it so face-to-face. ”

"Little ......"

Liu Yikou, who was hiding behind the door, suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the doorman's neck, and pinched it hard.

With the sound of the throat bone shattering, the group suddenly rushed into the back door of Kong's house.

"Ah......h

A knife slashed down, and a dart was thrown in Hanazhi's hand, nailing a guard who wanted to run to report the news.

Wang Xiaozu stepped inside and said, "A pillar of incense, kill it." ”

"Yes."

"Keep the door for the other team. As soon as they are discovered, signal for people from outside the city to enter. ”

"Yes......"

The group of people flew fast, killing into the Confucian Mansion and looking for Kong Yinzhi.

The biggest difficulty in this matter is that the Kong family is too big, bigger than the county seat of Qufu. And the Lin Temple Guard Division is west of the gate of the Confucian family, and it will take about a pillar of incense to surround it......

~~

The shepherd was running alone towards the Confucian Buddhist Hall.

He came to step on the point last night and drew a rough map of the Kong family for Wang Xiao.

Because at this time yesterday, Kong Yinzhi was in the Buddhist hall to greet his mother, so the shepherd also came to see it today.

At this time, he swept over the low wall behind the Confucian Buddha Hall, and suddenly heard the cry of a woman in front of him.

Curious, the shepherd walked over lightly, jumped over a small window, and leaned on the girders on the Buddha statue to look down. Ideas Chinese the first issue of the network ╭ァんττρ s:// ωωω.sしzωω.cΘм んττρ s:// м.sしzωω.cΘмヤ

I saw several women in the hall talking around a weeping young woman.

The shepherd listened for a while, and probably understood it.

The young woman turned out to be Kong Yinzhi's fourth daughter, Liu Zhongtong's widow Kong Haoshi.

But in fact, what they discussed was not about Liu Zhongtong's funeral, let alone avenging him. Instead, she is warning Kong Haoshi that she must keep a festival for her dead husband.

"Our Confucian family is the family of poetry, books and music, you are the daughter of the Confucian family, and I will tell you now that I will break the idea of remarrying at the beginning."

Kong Haoshi cried: "My daughter didn't want to remarry, and when my daughter came back this time, she wanted to ask her father to be the master of her deceased husband......"

After a while, the topic came back to a woman: "You don't want to remarry now, but you may have this idea in the future." ”

"Yes, the fourth girl is only twenty-three this year, right? The days to come are long, but you have to endure it. ”

The women were chattering, and suddenly someone asked, "Second aunt, how did you survive the festival for thirty years?" ”

The shepherd looked at it and saw a woman in her forties whispering, "It's not hard to ......."

The shepherd didn't bother to care whether they survived or not, thinking that this group of women was chattering, and if he jumped, not only would he not be able to ask about Kong Yinzhi's whereabouts, but he was afraid that he would have to expose his traces.

After a while, in the Buddhist hall, a group of women helped the crying Kong Haoshi out, leaving only the 'second aunt'.

These two aunts are the widows of the deceased Kong Yingui, named Dou Xiulan.

Dou Xiulan was only fourteen years old when she married Kong Yingui, that is, Kong Yingui was about to die, and she hurriedly became a relative who wanted to be happy, but before she was happy, she had already died. The world's attention is that the position of Grandpa Guo falls on Kong Yinzhi, the heir. But no one pays attention to Dou Xiulan's life that was ruined like this.

Thirty years have passed, and at this time, Dou Xiulan knelt in front of the Buddha and smiled bitterly: "Isn't it difficult to survive? ”

She slowly took out a large string of copper coins from her sleeve and placed them in front of her.

"There are three hundred texts here, I wanted to give it to the four girls, but I was afraid that people would see jokes."

She whispered to herself.

"How can you survive for thirty years...... Every night, I would scatter these three hundred copper coins on the ground, and I would look for them until I found them, so that I would be very tired, and when I was tired, I could sleep in peace...... In thirty years, I survived with these 100 copper coins......

Ha, the thugnade...... My father said that if I keep the festival until I die, I can be buried in Konglin after I die. This is also worth bragging about with my Dou family and others. However, Buddha, my father is gone, and my brother's family was also killed in the war. After thirty years, what have I kept? ”

When Dou Xiulan said this, her body shook, patted her heart, and cried in a low voice: "Buddha, if I can do it again, I can't stand this widowhood day, it's better to find a man to remarry......"

At this point, she was suddenly slapped on the shoulder.

"Hey, miss a man?"

As soon as Dou Xiulan turned her head, she saw a big man standing behind her at some point, staring at her with her eyes shining, and the two mustaches on her lips were very frightening......

"Ahh

Before she could shout, her mouth was covered.

"Lao Tzu asked you, where is Kong Yinzhi?"

~~

Zhuang Xiaoyun pretended to be a servant of the Kong family, and took a dozen people to guard the corridor between the outer courtyard and the inner house of the Kong family early.

They lay behind the bushes, intending to wait for the rabbit here and wait for Kong Yinzhi to come over.

This is the stupidest way, and it is also an effective way, Kong Yinzhi will have to go back to the inner house sooner or later.

"This time I came to Qufu to do business, Hua Zhi is also here, if I can make a good name for Kong Yinzhi, I will have a long face in front of her."

Zhuang Xiaoyun was thinking so in his heart, and when he turned his head, he saw a servant of the Kong family standing on the top of the corridor, holding a tool for repairing the roof in his hand, looking at him in a daze.

The two looked at each other, both a little stunned.

"Thief ......"

The servant opened his mouth to shout, and the long knife in Zhuang Xiaoyun's hand was suddenly thrown out and pierced into the other party's heart. Idea: The fastest /l/z/w//o/m on the mobile phone

"Damn, let's go over there and find ......"

Not long after Zhuang Xiaoyun left, Kong Xingxie walked to the porch.

Then the entire Confucian Mansion was alarmed.

"There are assassins......"
