Chapter 167: Abacus

The chickens and dogs are jumping here in Jinan Mansion, and the chickens and dogs are jumping here, and the Qufu side is not stopping, since Wang Xijue lived in the Kong family, the entire Kong family has a different atmosphere. Everyone knows that Wang Xijue is coming for Kong Shangxian, many people gloat, and more are in danger.

The Kong family has been able to crisscross for so many years, what does it rely on, it is not the brand of Yan Shenggong.

Even Outer Kong has a very high status outside, and it is not because of this, once the Yan Shenggong is removed and Kong Shangxian falls, it is definitely not one or two involved. When the time comes, how may they not be scared.

It's just that it was Wang Xijue, who was also a Confucian disciple, which made the people of the Kong family breathe a sigh of relief.

But when a piece of news reached Qufu, the entire Kong family was in chaos, and this news was naturally Kong Shangqi's love letter.

Throwing the teacup in his hand fiercely, Kong Shangxian was furious and said loudly: "Fools, they are all a group of fools, they dare to do such a thing after this time, what good is it for the Kong family to pour them." ”

The butler bowed down, not daring to say a word, he knew that anything he said at this time would anger the angry head of the house.

Kong Shangxian gasped and said viciously: "Dead eunuch, gelding, dare to bully me like this!" ”

For Xu De, Kong Shangxian really hated it this time, and Xu De handed it over instead of Kong Shangqi, if you want to say that there is no Xu De to make a ghost, Kong Shangxian doesn't believe it. The gelding took his own money, and dared to act like this.

"Let's go, let's go see Elder Wangge!" Kong Shangxian calmed down his mood and spoke.

Now, Kong Shangxian can only pin his hands on Wang Xijue. If Wang Xijue is willing to turn around for himself, then there is still a glimmer of hope, and now he can only hope that Wang Xijue will really maintain the face of the saint.

The housekeeper followed behind Kong Shangxian, and a touch of helplessness flashed on his face.

The head of his own family has not yet figured out the root of the matter, what is the use of begging Wang Xijue, he is a person sent by the emperor. Since he can be sent by the emperor, isn't that attitude obvious? If you go up and beg now, there is no use at all except to bring humiliation on yourself!

But the housekeeper didn't dare to speak, what virtue did the head of his own house have, the housekeeper couldn't be clearer, and it was the best choice to shut up.

Kong Shangxian came to Wang Xijue's courtyard and saw a scene that made his face instantly dark, and many people from the Kong family had already come here. Looking at the three clan elders standing in front, Kong Shangxian's face changed greatly.

"Third uncle, who are you?" Kong Shangxian walked in front of the three clan elders and asked with some eagerness.

The third uncle called by Kong Shangxian is the highest surviving person in the Kong family, and his name is Kong Wensheng.

Kong Wensheng is over seventy years old this year, and he lives in a simple house on weekdays, but now he can't go out of the mountain, and if he continues to make such a fuss, something big will happen to the Kong family. Glancing at Kong Shangxian, Kong Wensheng said lightly: "Stand in the back!" ”

Kong Shangxian was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was stunned.

In fact, the family rules of the Kong family are very strict, even if the third uncle is two levels higher than Kong Shangxian, it is useless. The primogeniture inheritance system, the entire family is what Kong Shangxian said, and now it can be seen from Kong Wensheng's attitude that the prestige of Kong Shangxian, the head of the family, is gone.

Seeing what Kong Shangxian was going to say, Kong Wensheng said directly: "Pull him down!" ”

A few Kong clansmen next to him walked up directly, stretched out their hands and pulled Kong Shangxian down. In order to prevent Kong Shangxian from yelling, they also covered Kong Shangxian's mouth, and then dragged him out.

Wang Xijue also walked out of the house at this time, and could only sigh helplessly when he saw this scene.

In fact, Wang Xijue knew in his heart that this time it was clear that Kong Shangxian would invite trouble by himself, and there was no way to bring good fortune and misfortune, but people called themselves, and Kong Shangxian would invite trouble. Xu De came to worship Confucius by the emperor's holy decree, and fools know that it is definitely not a simple worship.

Coupled with the matter of the official gentry receiving food in one, after a little thought, I knew that Xu De came with this order from the emperor.

The purpose is also very simple, that is, to let the Kong family take the lead in supporting this policy, but how did Kong Shangxian do it? If you don't see Xu De, you don't see Xu De scolding? You made it clear that you wouldn't give the emperor a son.

For what? Revenge for doing business? In order not to pay those tax money?

No matter what the reason is, this is stupid and can't be stupid, maybe Kong Shangxian wants some benefits, but Wang Xijue knows that the emperor has put so much effort into the officials and gentry to pay the food, how can he retreat.

Since the Kong family does not support it, it can only be pushed hard, and hard push requires Liwei.

Who is the most suitable Liwei at this time? Of course, it was the Kong family, who jumped out by himself, and at the same time, the emperor also folded face here in the Kong family. The emperor's face is so easy to fold, and if he folds other people's face, it may be nothing, but if he folds the emperor's face, he will lose his head.

Wang Xijue turned his head, as if he hadn't seen this scene, and said directly to Kong Wensheng with a smile: "I didn't expect to alarm the old gentleman, it's really a sin, if there is something The old gentleman sent someone to say hello, and I went over to listen to the teachings." ”

Hearing Wang Xijue say this, Kong Wensheng's face suddenly looked a lot better, which means that things are still turning around!

Kong Wensheng hurriedly smiled and said: "It is the honor of Confucius to come to Confucius Mansion, the old man came to see Wang Ge Lao today, and he happened to discuss the past and the present with Wang Ge Lao, for Wang Ge Lao, Lao Yu has been a god for a long time!" ”

The two of them walked into the house laughing, and then someone served tea.

While drinking tea and chatting about the day, both of them are readers, so naturally there will be no topic.

It's just that what Kong Wensheng said was about Confucius and his disciples, and there was a lot of nostalgia in his words. Wang Xijue could naturally hear that this was telling himself that he was a Confucian disciple, and that he was acting for the sake of the Confucian disciple and for the sake of the Confucian family.

But Wang Xijue knew that this incident was a slap in the face of the emperor, and it was the emperor who was angry.

If you don't turn this face back to the emperor and don't let the emperor lose his anger, there is no other way.

Wang Xijue is sure that if he intercedes with the Kong family, not only will he die miserably, but the Kong family will also die miserably. I favor the Kong family and intercede for the Kong family, which will only make the emperor more angry, and it will definitely be a thunderous means at that time.

Glancing at Kong Wensheng, Wang Xijue said, "Sir, I'm afraid this time things are very difficult!" ”

After listening to Wang Xijue's words, Kong Wensheng stopped talking, and said with a wry smile: "How can I not know that Kong Shangxian's kid really made a mistake this time." I also asked Wang Ge to look at the Confucian lineage and do more for the Confucian family. ”

"The emperor wants to fight, we all admit that it doesn't matter if Kong Shangxian dismisses Yan Shenggong, it's okay to give Yan Shenggong to Kong Shangqi, just ask Yan Shenggong to stay in Qufu."

Looking at Kong Wensheng, Wang Xijue was a little shocked, he really didn't expect Kong Wensheng to spend such a big money. Wang Xijue was really a little tempted, although Kong Wensheng didn't say anything good or anything like that, but Wang Xijue knew that he would definitely be rewarded by the Kong family in the future.

In fact, the energy of the Kong family in the officialdom is still not low, such a big family business, coupled with the name of the Kong family, can naturally attract many people.

If he gets the help of the Kong family, he will definitely be able to make a big difference in the officialdom, and maybe he will be able to get a glimpse of the position of the first assistant. The key is that the conditions given by Kong Wensheng are too good, admit the punishment and admit the punishment, Kong Shangxian was completely abandoned, and only wanted to leave the title of Yansheng Duke in Qufu.

This should make the emperor angry!

Wang Xijue thought so.

Glancing at Kong Wensheng, Wang Xijue nodded and said, "In this way, I will show the emperor." ”

The next thing is simple, Wang Xijue directly wrote a secret report to Zhu Yijun. Of course, this is not an official report, just a secret report that handed over the results of his investigation.

Of course, Wang Xijue did not write directly, but expressed the attitude of the Confucian family around the bend.

The capital, Wenhua Palace.

The capital has been disturbed these days, and there are a lot of major events, and everyone's energy has been diverted to the taxes of Shuntian Mansion. This time, such a large amount of tax still gave a lot of people a jump, which was just fatal.

Zhu Yijun looked at the fold in his hand, and then put it aside with a smile.

"Emperor, secret report!"

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Whale, his face became serious, and he said, "Submit it!" ”

There are three secret reports, one is the secret report of Jinyi Wei, and the other two are the secret reports of the inner factory. Stretched out his hand and picked up Jinyiwei's secret report, which wrote about Pigan's assassination, and wrote the process in detail.

After reading the secret report, Zhu Yijun's face suddenly became gloomy, and he handed the secret report to Zhang Whale: "Look at it! ”

Stretched out his hand and picked up the second secret report, it was still about Pigan's assassination, but there were a lot more things in the secret report of the inner factory, such as the Yang family among the gentry of Jinan Mansion, and the inner factory suspected that there was a force secretly working against the imperial court.

The third secret report was still from the inner factory, and after opening it and taking a look, Zhu Yijun found that it was written by Wang Xijue.

After reading it, Zhu Yijun snorted coldly, and casually threw the secret report on the table: "Walking a hundred miles and a half ninety, how can I do such a stupid thing, and admit punishment, as long as I leave the title of Yan Shenggong, stay in the green mountains, I am not afraid of no firewood, but it is a good calculation." ”

"Wang Xijue!" Zhu Yijun's face was ugly, but Wang Xijue still let himself down. Turning his head to look at Zhang Whale, Zhu Yijun opened his mouth and said, "I ask you, can Xing Shangzhi find out the truth of the matter?" ”

After saying this, Zhu Yijun stared at Zhang Whale tightly, waiting for him to answer.

Zhang Whale didn't think about it, and said directly: "Back to Your Majesty, Xing Shangzhi is loyal, but investigating the case is not his forte, this time the assassination case is full of fog, and it is not something that Xing Shangzhi can solve." ”

Listening to Zhang Whale's words, Zhu Yijun withdrew his gaze from him.

"Then send a message to Xu De, let him stop wasting time in Qufu, go to Jinan Mansion, and investigate the case clearly!" Zhu Yijun said in a faint voice.
