In a place like Yuelai Building, it is not unusual for two young scholars to eat and drink here.

The two people sitting at the window did not attract much attention, and the others were eating and drinking, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

The two scholars were in their twenties, and one of them had a delicate face and a relatively thin figure, wearing a set of cyan robes, and a folding fan next to the table.

The young scholar opposite him was a little fat, wearing a pale green gown, with a square face, heavy eyebrows, and a square nose and mouth, giving people a very serious and serious feeling.

The two of them sat there drinking and talking, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

At this moment, the square-faced scholar suddenly slammed the table and stood up directly.

This shot startled everyone.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn over, looking at the two readers with some hesitation, and some worried, what's wrong? Why did you make a fuss?

"You're talking nonsense! How could the Kong family do such a thing? The square-faced reader roared.

"What nonsense am I talking about?" The thin scholar was a little unimpressed, and he didn't even stand up, pouted and said, "Who in this Jining City doesn't know?" You went out to inquire, it has already spread all over the world, but it is just that no one said anything about it, just considering the face of Sage Kong. ”

"Look at what the Kong family did, they sold disaster relief food to the rebellious Wenxiang Sect, this is what they should do?"

"They not only let the people have no food to eat, let them not have enough to eat, make them think that the court disaster relief is not good, and think that the officials forced the people to rebel, but also prepared so much military rations for those who rebelled. What is it? This is treason! ”

"Not killing such a crime is not enough to outrage the people, and not killing is not enough to condemn people! His Majesty just exempted Yan Sheng Gong from the title, which is already an extrajudicial grace, and it is already taking care of Yan Sheng Gong's face, but what did the Kong family do? ”

"They colluded with the rebels and ran straight over there. Look at that paper, that's what they're supposed to write? ”

The square-faced young man seemed to be choked with anger, and said angrily: "Now that the situation is unknown, how can you say such a thing?" Yan Shenggong may have been taken captive, and some things had to be done. ”

"Taken captive?" The thin young man sneered, and said with disdain in his tone: "Kong said Chengren, Meng said to take righteousness, even if he was taken captive, could he do whatever people say?" Where is the integrity of the reader? ”

"They are the descendants of the Kong family! In the face of such a thing, shouldn't we learn from Wen Tianxiang? Shouldn't it be that since ancient times, who has not died, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat? How can they give in to thieves? Such behavior is embarrassing to say that he is the descendant of Yan Shenggong?! Moreover, I have heard that they were not taken captive, but taken away. ”

"They are the descendants of Sage Kong, how can you do this, you should be tolerant." The square-faced young man said.

"Nonsense!"

After hearing this, the thin young man also stood up sharply and slapped the table hard.

The dishes on the table made an instant clatter, and several fell to the ground, crackling and shattering.

For these, the thin young man turned a deaf ear, and said angrily: "If it is an ordinary trivial matter, maybe it can be appropriately lenient." But this is a great righteousness, how can it be tolerated because of this? Are you stupid at reading? ”

"Even if the descendants of Sage Confucius do such a thing, they should not be tolerated. On the contrary, because he is a descendant of Sage Confucius, it should be even more shameful to do such a thing. The fact that you say such things shows that we have different ways. Since the ways are different, they do not conspire with each other. ”

The thin young man took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, smashed it on the table, and then said: "If I don't eat a single meal or a dish from you, I will cut off relations with you today!" ”

After saying this, the thin scholar turned around and walked outside, walking quickly and with very firm steps.

The square-faced young man just sat in his chair with a dejected face.

After a long time, he sighed and sighed slowly, "Why is this so? How so! ”

At this time, a person next to him also stood up, looked at the square-faced scholar and said slowly, "You just thought wrong." Today's Yan Shenggong lineage is just the Northern Sect of the Confucian Family, who are they? It's just a puppet set up by the Tartars. ”

"Back then, the orthodoxy of the Yan Shenggong lineage was in the Southern Sect of the Confucian Family, and that was the Confucian family that followed the former Song Dynasty. When it came to the time of the Tartars, he was forced to give up the title of Yan Shenggong in desperation, which was the Confucius of our Han people. ”

"Now that the Holy Duke of Beizong Yan is groveling and servile, it is not strange to do such a thing!"

Everyone was stunned, and quickly turned their heads to look at the person who spoke.

This is a middle-aged man in his fifties, not strong, not thin, not tall or short, but his face is very serious. Judging from the dress, this should also be a reader.

After listening to his words, the young man with a square face was slightly stunned, then stood up and bowed with joy and said, "What Mr. said makes sense, please be taught." ”

After saying this, the young man with a square face also walked downstairs.

The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction and walked along.

Although this scene happened in Yuelai Building, the news soon spread.

As a result, it caused a wide discussion, that is, should the Confucian family be given a lenient punishment for what they did?

The pros and cons of the civil society are fighting fiercely. One side said that the Kong family was captured by thieves, which is understandable; The other side said that the Kong family was completely unforgivable.

I think it is forgivable, and the reason given is that the lineage of Confucius is a descendant of Confucius, and he was captured by thieves. In such a situation, many things are not up to them, so why can't they forgive?

On the other hand, is it possible to submit to being captive by thieves? What about the backbone of the reader? What's more, he is still a descendant of Confucius.

Quarreling and arguing, the two sides turned over the matter of the Confucian family Beizong, and gave great criticism to these Confucian family Beizong who flattered Jin Yuan, thinking that the Northern Sect was a servile and flattering master, without the slightest integrity, and was in vain as a representative of the scholars.

For a while, it can be said that the noise was overwhelming, and the momentum was huge.

Soon the hardline line gained an advantage, after all, those who shouted louder slogans and had a greater sense of justice were more dominant and had a more gathering effect.

For a while, the Confucian Northern Sect can be said to be shouted and beaten by everyone.

Within the station.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair and listened to Chen Hong's report.

Chen Hong said that he was excited and gestured twice, looking very proud.

However, Zhu Youxiao also knew that Chen Hong was just acting for himself. But he still felt happy and wanted to see it, so he cooperated with Chen Hong and listened to Chen Hong with a smile.

Regarding the matter of the Confucian Family's Northern Sect, Zhu Youxiao had already thought about it. This time, we must beat them all down, leaving no room for anything.

The affairs of the Southern Sect of the Confucian family can also be brought to the table.

As for why we should support the Southern Sect instead of completely destroying the Confucian family, the reason is very simple, no, it can't be done.

Once there is no ruler, the reader will panic and his heart will be confused. This is not going to work, I can't let this happen, I have to give these readers a leader.

For them, it doesn't matter who will do this god card, just have one person to do it, so that they can give up the Northern Sect and completely switch to the Southern Sect.

At the same time, he was also able to take this opportunity to let Nanzong launch some of Confucius's theories as Confucius's orthodox theories. For example, the Xunzi theory that I have always wanted to push, with the help of Nanzong, it is much less difficult to implement.

can also kill the Northern Sect, this family power that has been entrenched for hundreds of years is just used as a supply for himself to strengthen the country.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone, so Zhu Youxiao will release such news.

What Emperor Taizu didn't do back then, Zhu Youxiao can do now. After all, it is no longer the time for the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, it accepted a lot of Mengyuan's forces, and there were also many people under Emperor Taizu who surrendered to Mengyuan. If you don't accept the Northern Sect, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the support of the Beidi scholars at that time.

You must know that the north at that time was no longer Han in the north, nor was the Ming in the north.

At that time, after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the rule of Liao, the rise of Jin, and the occupation of Yuan, the situation in the entire north was completely different from that in the south. If we want to achieve a down-to-earth, safe, and stable reunification, in addition to military strength, it is more about the unity of people's hearts.

At that time, the Confucian Northern Sect shouldered such a responsibility and mission.

In fact, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's approach was later proved to be correct.

But that's no longer the case.

After more than 200 years of development and integration, the entire north has become a Ming dynasty. Zhu Youxiao doesn't have to worry about splitting at all, and can rest assured that he can boldly dispose of the Confucian family's Northern Sect.

As for supporting the Southern Sect of the Confucian Family, there is no pressure. After all, there are many officials from Jiangnan in the current court, and Jiangnan scholars also occupy a lot of power in the court, and Zhu Youxiao will also get the support of these people.

overthrew the Confucian family in Shandong, got money and land, and by the way, supported the Southern Sect of the Confucian family, and used them to promote their own theories, which seems to be okay, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

By the way, it can also appease people's hearts, so that readers can gather under the banner of the Confucian family Nanzong, and find a theoretical support for Huang Kezhang and others above the court, which can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone.

After Chen Hong finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao retracted his thoughts, but the smile on his face still did not break.

He looked at Chen Hong and said, "Let people spread the news immediately." Not only Jining, but also the whole of Shandong, the capital, and the south of the Yangtze River, let everyone know! ”
