Confucius, in the Ming Dynasty, or in Chinese history, has always been a unique existence.

Even if there is a change of dynasty, as long as the new ruler is supported, then the Confucian Mansion can still be prosperous and rich.

Not to mention, in other time periods, the glory and wealth are even more stable.

In the court, even if the powerful ministers of the government and the opposition, whether it was Zhang Juzheng back then, or the nine thousand years old later, after the scenery is the time of liquidation.

But the Confucian Mansion, while enjoying the glory and wealth, sitting and watching the court fight, can be said to be the most comfortable.

In the past, not only Kong Yinzhi, but also the people in the Confucian Mansion, all believed that as long as there were civil officials and emperors, the status of the Confucian family would not change.

However, what Kong Yinzhi never expected was that there was a powerful minister in the court who was more powerful than Zhang Juzheng and the nine thousand years old, and he actually began to deal with the Kong family!

This Xingguo Gong is really too special! So much so that on Kong Yinzhi's side, he really felt a little helpless.

If you are an ordinary minister, who is born in the book of sages, if you dare to deal with the Confucian family, it is to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and you will be condemned by the scholars all over the world.

However, this Xingguo Gong suddenly appeared, and no one knew which Confucian he was studying with. Otherwise, a letter can solve a lot of problems, and at least let Xingguo talk about it.

In addition, this Xingguo Gong really doesn't know how to do it, saying that he is knowledgeable, but he has so many crooked ways. What is even more terrifying is that this crooked and heretical way seems to be self-contained, and there are signs of threatening the status of Confucian doctrine!

Otherwise? Can the Kong family sit idly by? But what this Xingguo Gong did was to move the foundation of the Confucian family.

So? For the first time, the Kong family participated in the affairs of the court.

Kong Yinzhi first instructed Kong Dazheng of the Jingshi to instigate? Let those people in the Beijing who are dissatisfied with the Duke of Xingguo play one after another to ask for the title of prince? Roast the rejuvenating shelf on the fire.

Don't expect to bring down Xingguo Gong once, but the height is unbearable? The truth that Mu Xiu is destroyed by the forest wind can be used. When did you turn back and fall? Xingguo Gong will definitely fall very badly.

However, he didn't expect that this thing would not work out at all. And it can also be seen from this incident that the current emperor's favor for this Xingguo Gong has increased unabated.

No way? Kong Yinzhi had to settle for the next best? I no longer think about dealing with Xingguogong, but I think about whether I can crack down on Xingguogong's new school. As long as it does not pose a threat to the Kong family, it will not care about the ebb and flow of the court.

It just so happened that what kind of steam engine touted by the Xingguo Gong exploded and died? This is an opportunity.

However, Kong Yinzhi never thought of it? Just such a trivial matter of inciting people to oppose this steam engine actually made Xingguo Gong give up such a major matter as suppressing thieves? Immediately rushed back to Jingshi.

From this point of view, how much importance does this Xingguo Gong attach to his new learning? Far beyond the rest.

This thing? It is even more of a threat to the interests of the Confucian family.

For this? After Kong Yinzhi received Kong Dazheng's letter, he was still thinking about his next move, and the news came again: Kong Dazheng was arrested by the prefect's yamen and imprisoned.

On the surface, this is Kong Dazheng's own business, but Kong Yinzhi understands very well that this is Xingguo Gong's attack on him. Otherwise, not to mention a mere prefect, that is, the head of the cabinet who wants to move the Confucian family, will think twice.

"Well, that's probably the case!" Kong Yinzhi said, sighing to the clan elders sitting in the lobby, and said, "This Xingguo Gong is the magic barrier of our Kong family, who do you think has a good way?" ”

The situation is a bit grim!

In the lobby, these clan elders were relatively quiet, pulling their beards and trying to figure out a way.

After a while, I saw a clan elder and said, "We don't care about him, what else?" With the blessing of our ancestors, who would dare to be unfavorable to our Confucian family? ”

"What you said, doesn't Kong Dazheng's matter explain anything?" The other listened, and immediately replied.

"That's right, my son is a scapegoat, he is in prison for the Kong family, how can he sit idly by?" The one who said this was obviously Kong Dazheng's father.

"If Kong Dazheng behaves correctly and sits upright, how can he end up in prison? Don't use the Kong family as a shield for everything! ”

Kong Dazheng and his father were furious when they heard this, and immediately shouted: "You don't know what the crime you want to add to the problem is unexcused? As far as my son is concerned, you haven't done it in your room? ”

“……”

The discussion had only just begun, and it fell into a quarrel. Other people also joined the two sides according to the good or bad of the relationship, and began to quarrel.

Kong Yinzhi, who was sitting on the main seat, listened to one head and two big!

Things were already annoying, but they started arguing again at home, and they weren't messy enough?

In the end, Kong Dazheng slapped the table and scolded them: "When is it now, you are still arguing about trivial things? That Xingguo Gong is determined to promote his set of crooked heresies, if he really wants to spread all over the world, how many people will learn from Confucius? The foundation of our Confucian family is not solid, this is a change unseen in a thousand years, a crisis unseen in a thousand years! ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to these people in the hall and said hatefully: "Such a crisis affects the children and grandchildren of our Confucian family. Even compared to the change of dynasty, the impact on our Confucian family is greater, do you understand? ”

After he said this, the group fell silent again.

Kong Yinzhi saw that they were quarreling actively, and he was dumb when he really gave up his mind, and he couldn't help but get angry in his heart, and when he was about to train them a few more words, suddenly Qufu County ordered Kong Qi to hurry over, holding a stack of papers in his hand, regardless of others, and said to Kong Yinzhi on the main seat: "This is the latest "Ming Pao" of Jingshi, saying that the Xingguo Gong is going to open the Daming Jingshi Academy, and it is going to officially open a sect!" ”

Whatever you are afraid of, you will come.

Although he had already foreseen this, when he really heard the news, Kong Yinzhi sighed in his heart again.

After handing the "Ming Pao" to Kong Yinzhi to read, Kong Gao looked at the clan elders in the hall, and said with a heavy face: "This Xingguo Gong has put down his military power to do learning, and the current emperor will definitely give full support." And with the power of Xingguo Gong, it is conceivable that there are definitely many people who tend to be inflammatory. If this new school of rejuvenation is not stopped, it will definitely become popular all over the world. ”

"Everyone!" Speaking of this, he raised his voice and said loudly, "As long as this Xingguo Gong is in power for one day, Xinxue will be able to overwhelm Confucianism." If my speculation is correct, believe it or not, one day in the future, the imperial examination will be changed to this new study, and then it will be the end of my Confucian family! ”

As soon as I heard this, I suddenly fried the pot in this hall.

"What, those crooked ways in the imperial examination? That's impossible! ”

"Yes, the imperial examination has always been the Four Books and Five Classics, no matter how powerful he is in Xingguogong, can he change this?"

"Even if it's the emperor today, it's impossible to change it, right?"

"Yes, if this is the case, the world's scholars will inevitably attack it in droves!"

“……”

Hearing their short-sighted words, Kong Gao almost said loudly in a roaring voice: "Do you think Xingguo Gong is stupid? How could he abandon the content of the imperial examination at once and not take the Four Books and Five Classics? After his new learning spread, he stuffed it into the imperial examination, and it became an equal emphasis on both, and finally squeezed out the Four Books and Five Classics. As long as everyone in the world learns his new learning, this kind of thing is a natural thing! ”

Without waiting for them to react, he continued to add: "Don't forget, as long as you tie up with the Duke of Xingguo, don't say that everyone can be a feudal official, even Xiucai has achieved a third-grade official." How many of those who read books are virtuous? It's strange not to talk to Xingguogong! ”

Hearing this, these Kong family elders in the lobby thought about it, and they were a little stunned.

I studied hard in the cold window, and read the Four Books and Five Classics, for what, isn't it that I can become an official one day in the future!

And now, if you go to the prince of Xingguo, you can be an official, and you can even be a feudal official, so it's strange if you don't go to the knot!

Thinking like this, these clan elders were anxious and scolded one after another.

"The words of the sages have been read by them!"

"What about the bones of the scholar?"

"They are not worthy to be the disciples of Confucius, and the groups are all ungrateful, and they have forgotten their ancestors! Without our Confucian sages, they would be a bunch of uncivilized barbarians! ”

"Heaven, earth, where is the backbone of today's scholars?"

“……”

In the midst of their shouting and scolding, Kong Yinzhi had already finished reading the content of the "Ming Pao" in his hand about Xinxue, and his heart was even more irritable.

He could imagine that the Jingshi at this time was probably all about this new topic.

It can't be like this! Absolutely not!

Thinking so, Kong Yinzhi slapped the table again, shouted to them to calm down, and then told them about the situation in "Ming Pao", and finally said to them with a serious face: "Today's plan, we must not let this crooked heresy become a trend!" He Xingguo Gong engaged in such a move to buy people's hearts, and we must also fight-for-tat and re-attract the attraction of Jingshi to Confucianism! ”

Speaking of this, he explained sharply: "From now on, we will discuss this matter, and we must not open the topic, it is related to the future of my Kong family, and I have to quarrel with others!" ”

These elders of the Kong family, of course, know the seriousness of the matter, and they are about to start a sect!

So, they began to have a serious discussion.

Discussions came and went, and in the end, they really came up with a way.

I listened to Kong Yinzhi concluding: "In this way, I personally wrote to the leaders of the Shilin and invited them to go to Beijing to open a literary society and explain Confucianism. All the costs, we Kong family to pay. ”

After a pause, he specially named and said: "Especially Mr. Yu Shan in Jiangnan, I want to focus on the invitation, with his fame, I believe that he can bring back many readers!" ”

"I heard that Mr. Yu Shan and this Xingguo Gong do not deal with each other, and I believe he will be happy to do such things. That's a great idea! Kong Daqi listened and agreed.

They knew that Qian Qianyi had already been beaten by Zhang Mingwei.
