Chapter 45: The Confucian Case

On a messy slope outside Qufu.

After Xu Youzhen arrived, he gave an order and opened the place.

More than a dozen women's bodies were removed.

Some of them were already rotting, but a few of them were still in their human form, and they looked like they had been dead for less than a few days.

Each of the women died naked and wrapped in straw mats.

Appalling.

Xu Youzhen looked at Kong Hongxu. But seeing where Kong Hongxu had endured this smell, he had already vomited on the side.

Xu Youzhen said: "Yan Shenggong, what do you have to say now?" ”

Some things are open secrets, and there is no need for careful investigation at all, it is just a matter of daring to expose them.

Xu Youzhen was also angry at the moment, he never thought that this was a fact he found out. This Kong Hongxu, this Yan Shenggong, has not learned the way of Confucius's benevolence at all.

On the contrary, it is absurd.

If it's just immorality, that's it.

Anyway, with the family business of the Confucian Mansion, there are not many families in the world who can beat them, even among the several princes, the family of the oldest Wei Guogong, that is, after the King of Zhongshan, may not be able to compare with the Confucian family.

Don't you just play how you want?

It's just that I never thought that this young Yan Shenggong was not satisfied with conventional means at all, so he made such a scene, when was the first maid to be killed by him, it is no longer possible to test.

But Kong Hongxu has done this many times, and the women buried here are all done by Kong Hongxu.

Kong Hongxu had a trace of fear in his heart at this moment, but he also said: "It's just a few servants, and what should it do." ”

Xu Youzhen said: "Okay." Good, good. Come, take the Holy Father to rest. ”

Immediately, Xu Youzhen officially took over all the rights of Qufu and controlled the Kong family up and down, and before he could do anything, he turned over a lot of cases.

For example, the case of the Kong family killing people in order to seize other people's land, such as using lynching to collect rent and causing death, is even more commonplace, and a lot of them are caught.

The inside of the hole door is not too clean either.

Why?

It is because the inheritance method of the Confucian family, a big family, is different from the general family inheritance method of the people.

The inheritance method of the folk family is naturally the separation of the sons.

However, the family inheritance of the Confucian family is a bit royal, because most of the property of the Confucian family is directly linked to the title of Yanshenggong, and the title of Yanshenggong is inseparable.

Only the eldest son inherited all the Confucius Mansion, while the other sons could only become side branches, which was very different from the eldest son. The status gap cannot be calculated.

In this way, the matter of the competition for the title must be extremely fierce.

It's just that they are all locked up in the compound of the deep house

, outsiders don't know.

Now after Xu Youzhen opened it, he found that the internal title competition within the Kong family was extremely fierce. Kong Hongxu's father died at thirty-one, and his death may not have been a natural death.

However, Xu Youzhen still kept a secret for His Holiness, and did not shake out the dirty things in the Confucian Gate, but only played the emperor secretly, and only the others who could say it were played.

Even so, the news reached the city of Beijing, and the city of Beijing lost its voice for a while.

The reason why they lost their voices was because they never thought that after Confucius, they would do such a thing, which was extremely appalling.

Second, it was also shocked by Zhu Qizhen's actions.

What kind of person Xu Youzhen is, who doesn't know.

Xu Youzhen dared to attack the Kong family, so he naturally had the support of the emperor. There is something hidden behind the emperor's resolute attitude, which cannot be allowed for them not to think deeply.

Soon, something that shocked them even more happened.

The emperor was arbitrary, and ordered the Emperor Yan Sheng Gong to seize the title of the Emperor and make Confucius Nanzong inherit the position of Yan Sheng Gong. Ordered Yousi to find the head of the Confucius Southern Sect to come to Beijing.

This is even more uproar.

In the Tianli report, Wu and Bi were called for money by an unknown number of people.

Tianli Bao in general, has always been losing money, whether it is Tianli Bao or other newspapers. But on the whole, Tenri Bao is the best newspaper in Kyoto, outside of all the newspapers.

But even so, the Heavenly Retribution is not self-sufficient.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen's resolute attitude frightened many people at once.

They don't have an ancestor who is a saint. Once the emperor intends to build a prison, none of them can escape.

They didn't expect the situation to turn out like this.

These businessmen are already very accustomed to being beaten in the autumn wind. It's just that now Wu and Bi have the heart to put life and death outside the degree. But the businessmen behind this are all dragging their families, how can they be willing to resist the imperial court.

A gentleman can be bullied, Wu Hebi is such a person.

People like Wu and Bi were urged to the door by creditors, even if when they borrowed money, these people said that they were donating, but Wu and Bi couldn't say that they didn't pay it back.

"Alright." Wu Youbi said: "You go and tell your lord's family that the money owed to you is indispensable. If you can trust me Wu, after ten days, I will return a lot of money to you. ”

These people immediately said: "We naturally believe Mr. Wu." ”

This is the rush to disperse.

Wu and Bi sat for a long time, and some of the people who came out for many days said: "Sort it out, sell what can be sold, and I will find someone to put the rest on the mat first, and when I go home, I will sell the fields of the academy to fill this hole." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a cry in the Tianli newspaper.

Without him, most of these people were students of Wu and Bi

, a small part of them are scholars in the capital who admire Wu and Bi.

For Wu and Bi's students, the academy is their home, and although the number of learning fields in the academy is not large, they are all land that they personally cultivate, and even Wu and Bi have also gone to the ground.

These lands are the foundation of the academy, and if they are sold, the funds for the academy will not be secured.

Wu Youbi said: "What are you crying about, these are just things outside the body. That's it. ”

As a result, the news of the suspension of the Tianli Newspaper suddenly came out, and it seemed that the rest of the newspapers had been affected, and some newspapers were also like Wu and Bi, and there was a problem with their funds. Some of them were afraid to publish it because they were afraid of political pressure.

In the capital, the newspapers and periodicals that bloomed seemed to have been blown by the cold wind, and all the flowers were frozen. With the exception of Ming Pao, there seems to be no newspaper running normally.

And this situation was quickly reflected on Zhu Qizhen's side.

After Zhu Qizhen went down every morning, the first thing he read was the intelligence briefing, which was jointly edited by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and then more than a dozen newspapers in the capital. will browse it.

Today's newspapers are not big. One copy is only one or two pages, even if it is a dozen copies, Zhu Qizhen will not need any time to browse it.

Now, when Zhu Qizhen looked at it one day, he found that there was only an empty newspaper, and as for Tianli Daily, and even other newspapers, there was no more.

Immediately asked Wynne, "What's wrong?" ”

Wynne told the situation 1510.

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a while and said, "Push everything away today, and I'll go out of the palace." There is no need to prepare a guard of honor. ”

Wynne said, "Your Majesty, this is not good. ”

Zhu Qizhen glanced at Huai En lightly. Wynne immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

He finally discovered one thing, the Shidafu group is relatively powerful, but when they face a political strongman, they are congenitally weak.

Without him, this is a congenital defect of Confucianism, and Confucianism has always been made by people.

Innate support for political authority is the foundation of Confucianism.

So when Zhu Qizhen really decided to pick up the butcher's knife, there may have been some great Confucians who had the idea of martyrdom, but how many people were really willing to do so in all the waves of opposition?

Zhu Qizhen doesn't need to count it, he knows that this is a very small number.

However, this time the Beijing newspaper industry, which had just improved, was also beaten, but it was not what Zhu Qizhen wanted. After all, Zhu Qizhen has great hopes for the newspaper.

This is a window for Zhu Qizhen to understand the situation, Ming Pao is run by the government, and there are some things that will never be said. Moreover, the emergence of newspapers has also brought public opinion and academic discussion to a new model.

It's all good.

Zhu Qizhen was determined not to tolerate the collapse of the newspaper industry, so he was ready to talk to Wu Youbi. also show the world his broad mind.
