When his subordinates saw Xu Xianchun's appearance, they hurriedly lowered their heads and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll arrest people right away." ”

After saying this, his subordinates turned around and took the people away.

Xu Xianchun thought about it, took a few steps forward, chased after him and said, "I'll go personally." ”

This matter is too important, and it is a big case when it is found out, and there must be no mistakes in it. If you let people die, it becomes very troublesome.

In such a situation, no mistake can be made. So Xu Xianchun is ready to stare at it in person, and he must definitely ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The group set off in a mighty way, and went straight to the location of Yan Shenggong.

When Xu Xianchun arrived, the people here had already received the news.

Since the last time he entered the palace, Yan Sheng Gong had actually been taken care of. There are people from the Jinyi Guards around, as well as guards from the palace, and if there is no warrant from Zhu Youxiao, no one can see the Holy Prince.

It's just that there has been news in the palace just now that Xu Xianchun can go in to see the Holy Father.

After coming to the door, the guards saw Xu Xianchun and saw a group of people behind him, so they said directly: "Lord Xu, Your Majesty has a will, you can go in, but you can only go in alone, and the others can only wait outside." You see? ”

"Since it is His Majesty's will, it is natural for the courtiers to abide by it." Xu Xianchun nodded, "But is this holy decree only for the Holy Duke of Yan, or should all the Kong family members be counted?" ”

"Of course, it's only for Yan Shenggong." The janitor hurriedly said.

The people above have personally explained this matter, and they are only polite to Yan Shenggong. As for the rest of the Confucian Mansion, they were not in this polite rank at all, so he didn't have any scruples.

"That's good." Xu Xianchun nodded, smiled and beckoned behind him.

A man in his thirties quickly came to Xu Xianchun's side.

This man had a large beard, a strong body, and a fierce face. This person is none other than Xu Xianchun's henchman in Jinyiwei, Cui Yingyuan.

Cui Yingyuan was originally a market scoundrel in Daxing, Beijing, and was later recruited by Jinyiwei. Because he was effective, ruthless, and familiar with the ground in the capital, he was recruited by Xu Xianchun to his side.

Cui Yingyuan, as a confidant, was also taken by Xu Xianchun on this trip.

Cui Yingyuan hurriedly said: "I don't know what the adults have to say?" ”

"You take someone to arrest someone, and I'll go see the Holy Father of Yan." Xu Xianchun said slowly, and at the same time tidied up his clothes, and instructed: "By the way, don't make too much noise." ”

"Don't worry, you know what to do." Cui Yingyuan hurriedly agreed, and walked in with someone, ready to arrest someone.

As for Xu Xianchun, he walked to another courtyard, where Yan Shenggong lived.

For Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi, these days have not been easy. Since entering the palace, he has been in a state of sincere fear, which can be said to be very, very scared, and at the same time very, very worried.

Kong Yinzhi also wanted to go out and contact people outside, but the people here didn't give him this opportunity at all.

Except for someone delivering food every day, no one has any communication with him. Although the accommodation environment in the house is good, there are also four treasures of the study, and there are a lot of books, but there is no one.

The conditions here are much better than those in prison, but in fact, they are just prison in disguise.

Kong Yinzhi never thought that things would develop to this point today.

The Kong family has not done anything embarrassing, and they have done a lot of things that violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but they have never had an accident.

The Kong family has always been protected by someone, even if the matter goes to the emperor, the emperor just turns a blind eye. Everyone wants to give their ancestors a face, and no one dares to risk offending the world's scholars to do anything to their own family, so the Kong family has nothing to fear.

But this time, Kong Yinzhi was really scared, especially after seeing His Majesty today.

Your Majesty didn't say anything about face, he turned his face in front of himself, not only kicked himself, but also said that anyone can be a holy prince, this is definitely not just talking.

So Kong Yinzhi has always lived in fear, and even didn't dare to eat two meals when he first came back.

He was afraid that he would be poisoned by His Majesty, after all, His Majesty said something like that. Later, he was really hungry, so Kong Yinzhi dared to eat and drink.

After getting the news of Xu Xianchun's coming, Kong Yinzhi was stunned in his heart, is Your Majesty finally going to deal with himself?

Seeing Xu Xianchun walk in from the outside, Kong Yinzhi sat on a chair and forced himself to calm down.

He took a sip of tea, raised his head to look at Xu Xianchun, and said, "Lord Xu came by order?" ”

"Of course, by His Majesty's holy order." Xu Xianchun said with a smile.

While speaking, Xu Xianchun looked around, and then continued: "You must know that ordinary people can't enter this place now, and without His Majesty's will, this official can't enter." ”

"What does Lord Xu want to tell me?" Kong Yinzhi raised his head and looked at Xu Xianchun, and said slowly.

"Actually, it's not a big deal." Xu Xianchun said as he walked to the chair next to him and sat down, and said, "I just want to talk to Yan Shenggong about how your Kong family is preparing to rebel?" ”

After hearing this, Kong Yinzhi turned his head to look at Xu Xianchun, snorted coldly and said, "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse!" ”

"My Confucian family reads the books of sages, and I am the descendant of Confucius saints, and I have always known what courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame are, and what loyalty and patriotism are. You Jinyiwei are people like you, who are cruel to the loyal and good, framed and framed, and are despised by the world! ”

After hearing this, Xu Xianchun immediately leaned back and laughed.

Xu Xianchun's face was flushed with laughter, and he was even choked by saliva, and it took him a long time to calm down, and then he turned his head to look at Kong Yinzhi and said, "Not necessarily, right?" ”

"Every time there is a change of dynasty in this world, your Kong family doesn't seem to be loyal to the king. Not to mention, where were you when the Great Song Dynasty died? Aren't your family loyal? Isn't it about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith? Why didn't you die for your country? How many dead soldiers are there on the cliff mountain, why don't you Kong family? ”

Xu Xianchun's words were not polite at all, and it can be said that he exposed it in person.

After hearing this, Kong Yinzhi's face was swollen and red, he stared at Xu Xianchun angrily, stretched out his hand to point at him, the corners of his mouth trembled, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

Because Kong Yinzhi really doesn't know how to say it, after so many years, no one dares to expose this shortcoming in person.

Even Emperor Taizu did not move the Confucian family, and also recognized the status of the Confucian family. didn't even use the Southern Sect of the Confucian Family of the Song Dynasty, but used the Northern Sect of their Confucian Family, so no one dared to make irresponsible remarks.

Who would have thought that at this time, someone would dare to turn over this old account?

In fact, the people of the Confucian family understood in their hearts that Emperor Taizu did not dispose of the Confucian family's Northern Sect back then, and the reason was actually very simple, that is, Emperor Taizu admitted that he inherited the Mengyuan country.

After all, Emperor Taizu also served as an official of Meng Yuan back then, and there were many people in the court who surrendered to Meng Yuan. If you really want to break up this matter, then I'm afraid that no one in the whole world will be able to get out of it.

So I simply admitted it, and admitting that the Northern Sect of the Confucian family was nothing more than setting up a tablet.

This tablet was erected by itself, and naturally it cannot be dismantled. Naturally, the world's scholars pretended not to know, and everyone hid behind this tablet and lived their lives in peace.

Especially when Emperor Taizu founded the country, many people came upside down from Meng Yuan, and even participated in Meng Yuan's imperial examination and served as Meng Yuan's official.

If you have to talk about loyalty to the monarch and the country, and if you have to talk about loyalty to the former Song Dynasty, then how can everyone deal with themselves?

To put it bluntly, you are pretending to be stupid, and I am pretending to be stupid, and everyone is just like that.

Xu Xianchun didn't care about this, he hadn't experienced that era. Daming is now more than two hundred years old, and he doesn't need to worry about these things.

Meng Yuan, who knows where Meng Yuan is now?

Xu Xianchun looked at Kong Yinzhi and said with a sneer: "So don't mention these things, and don't feel wronged, this official is also a person who presents facts and tells evidence." ”

"Just like you said just now, Jinyiwei has no bottom line in doing things, and he is a lackey of the Son of Heaven. Originally, I thought so, but since I came to the ground in Shandong and saw what your Kong family had done, I felt that I was extremely noble. ”

"People like you who read the books of the sages, and are also descendants of the sages of Confucius, do much more ruthless things than me. Embezzling the grain for disaster relief, watching the people starve to death, forcing them to sell their fields, forcing them to sell their sons and daughters, this is also what Sage Confucius taught you? Or is this your Confucian family heirloom? ”

"This is also what your Kong family should do? Are you embarrassed to say that I'm shy now? ”

Xu Xianchun's words were not polite at all, and there was even some vulgarity, but what he said was hearty, and he sprayed Kong Yinzhi with no room at all.

Kong Yinzhi looked at Xu Xianchun and said angrily: "You are all slander!" ”

"Know you won't admit it." Xu Xianchun waved his hand and said, "Even if you find out about your family in the end, you will shirk the hands and feet of the people below." ”

"You know this kind of thing in your heart, and I know it in my heart; The people above the court also understand, and His Majesty also understands. ”

After Xu Xianchun said this, with a playful smile on his face, he looked at Kong Yinzhi and continued: "So when you encounter such a thing, it depends on whether there is anyone to protect you." ”

"If there is someone in the court to protect them, and the people below confess their guilt, and Your Majesty doesn't care, it won't be a big deal. It is nothing more than a fine of money, a confession, and a dismissal. This is not a new thing in the court, everyone knows this kind of thing, I'm afraid that Yan Shenggong is also fighting this idea, right? ”

After saying this, Xu Xianchun squinted at Kong Yinzhi.

"But one thing I want to tell you, this time you made a mistake." Xu Xianchun said with a smile: "Your family's affairs are not so easy to pass this time. ”

"I think you should have heard that someone wanted to assassinate His Majesty in Jining, and it was the people of King Lu's Mansion who made the shot. They also resold the food for disaster relief, just like your family's business, and they were afraid of being disposed of by Your Majesty, so they assassinated Your Majesty. ”

"Two idiots!"

Speaking of this, Xu Xianchun snorted mockingly, his tone was full of disdain, and then continued: "Later, after investigation, Jin Yiwei found that there were people behind these two people. That is the incense smell religion that is very popular on the ground in Shandong. ”

"After Jin Yiwei's visit, it was found that this Smelling Fragrance Sect was actually the White Lotus Sect. The name of the person who founded this incense sect is Wang Sen. ”

He secretly organized the congregation, and there were many believers in Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, and Sichuan. In the 23rd year of Wanli, he was arrested and sentenced to death, and was released from bribery. He was arrested again in forty-two years and died in prison five years later. ”

"The one who is now in charge of this sect is Wang Sen's son. They want to use this earthquake to encourage the victims to rebel, you must not know about this, right? ”

Speaking of this, Xu Xianchun himself laughed first.

"I guess you don't know." Xu Xianchun said with emotion: "In order to rebel, they have to collect food, and at the same time let the people have no food to eat, otherwise who will rebel with them?" ”

So they began to buy grain, colluding to embezzle the food for disaster relief, so that the people had no food. On the other hand, they distributed money and relief food to the people to buy people's hearts and actively prepare for their own rebellion. ”

"And at the key point of this matter, it is you who made the shot. You have embezzled the food for disaster relief, you have left the people without food, you have forced the people to sell their land, their sons and daughters, and you have forced the people to live no longer! ”

"You gave all the relief food that the court gave to the people, and these thieves. Come on, come on, Yan Shenggong, you come and tell me, you said that your Kong family doesn't know, does anyone believe it? ”

"As long as my mouth is biased, it can become that your Kong family wants to rebel."

"Okay, you are the descendants of the Sage Confucius, no one believes this. But are you able to do all the things? As long as Your Majesty believes it, your family will not be able to escape. When Xu Xianchun said this, he stood up and said, "So don't have illusions. When you are involved in such a treason, no one can protect you. ”

Listening to Xu Xianchun's words, Kong Yinzhi's heart was shocked.

He finally understood what was going on, and finally understood why His Majesty was so angry, why he kicked himself, why he said to himself, "As long as you are the descendants of the Kong family, you can be the Holy Duke of Yan", why you are extremely dissatisfied with your family.

What his family is doing is aiding and abusive, and it is helping those people to rebel. In such a situation, it is strange that His Majesty is not angry! He is still showing off his cleverness in front of His Majesty.

After calming down his mind a little, Kong Yinzhi turned his head to look at Xu Xianchun, and said in a calm tone: "Lord Xu is here, won't he just tell me these things?" ”

"Could it be that Lord Xu is depressed in his heart and wants to talk to me?"
