When Kong Duancao found Kong Duanyou, it was no surprise that Kong Duanyou was reading a book, as Yan Shenggong, if the head of Shilin was not talented, how could he be Yan Shenggong, how could he order Shilin, and be in charge of the Kong family.

"What's the matter, second brother? Why are you so alarmed? Kong Duanyou looked at his younger brother with some displeasure, he needed to calm down when there was a big event, Kong Duanyou had always warned the people of the Kong clan that no matter what happened, they should not panic.

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has arrived in Qufu and is preparing to sacrifice to the Confucian saint in two days." Kong Duancao hurriedly said.

"Oh, he wants to come to Queli?" Kong Duanyou suddenly showed a smile, Li Jing came to Que Li in person, indicating that Li Jing had put down his body and surrendered to the Kong sage, and also to the Kong family, Kong Duanyou believed that once this matter spread, the prestige of the Kong family would definitely reach its peak, and it would be impossible for anyone to touch the Kong family in the future. The interests of the Confucian family in Qufu can also be guaranteed.

"No, just worship outside Qufu City, and don't even enter Qufu." Kong Duancao has a bitter face, he knows some of his brother's thoughts, but the world is in chaos, although Qufu is detached from the outside, but in fact, it is also because those people are afraid of the world's Shilin, if there is really a ruthless person like Huang Chao, where will he care about the influence of Shilin, and the entire Qufu will soon be destroyed. And the same is true for a male lord like Li Jing, seeing that you don't give in, he immediately sacrificed to Saint Kong outside, and didn't care about Que Li's reaction at all.

"It's really bold, Li Jing didn't take our Kong family to heart at all. Where is the demeanor of Ming Jun, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has been courteous to my Confucian family over the years, he is also the Son of Heaven, and he Li Jing still has the unification of the world? If I don't put my Confucian family in my eyes, I don't put Confucius Sage in my eyes, I want to tell all the scholars in the world that all the scholars in the world are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and they should not be his Li Jing's officials. Kong Duanyou's face was gloomy, and he felt that Li Jing was slapping him in the face, which made him extremely angry.

"Some time ago, Emperor Hongwu held the imperial examination, and the scholars of the world responded, and even the scholars of Jiangnan went to Bianjing to participate in the imperial examination." Kong Duan was helpless, but he still said honestly. Although Emperor Zhao and Song treated the Kong family well, Zhao Song was basically hopeless, and although Li Jing usurped the country, it was not unusual for the Kong family to submit to the Tang Dynasty.

"The Kong family must not surrender to Li Jing, at least, not now, when will he come to Que Li to worship the saint, we can return to the imperial court and the Tang Dynasty, what kind of identity is my Confucian family, how can I be easily recruited by the imperial court?" An old voice came, and I saw an old man walking in outside, it was Kong Chuan, the patriarch of the Kong clan.

The Confucian family is divided into a line of the Holy Princes and a line of the patriarch, the patriarch controls the operation of the Kong family, and the princess of the Yan Dynasty is in charge of the sacrifice, one exercises the actual power of the Kong family, the other is the official representative of the Kong family, and the leader in the Shilin is the spiritual leadership, and the two echo each other and complement each other. It cannot be said that whoever has more power and who has less power is a representative of the Confucian family.

"Yes, if you want all the scholars in the world to surrender to Li Jing, Li Jing has to express it." Kong Duanyou nodded.

"Then two days later, won't the Kong family send someone to the sacrifice?" Kong Duancao asked in a low voice. The reason why the Kong family is so strong is of course because the Kong family received the great favor of Zhao and Song, and Li Jing is related to usurping the throne, but Kong Duancao knows that all this actually comes down to interests. Most of the land in Qufu is in the hands of the Kong family, and most of the people in Qufu are tenants of the Kong family, and the Kong family is to replace the imperial court.

All this is contrary to Li Jing's policy and guidelines, Li Jing's land policy is to collect all the land of the gentry into the ownership of the imperial court, although they also paid money, but the Confucian family knows that it is the virtuous gentry who got the money, and most of the gentry paid a small amount of money because they had a handle in the hands of the imperial court, or they did not pay money at all, and used land to compensate for their crimes.

The Kong family is a saint, but the Confucian family has a great cause, and I don't know how many people have a black history, even if the Kong family exercises the clan rules and does not put the court law in their eyes, it is enough to make the Kong family pay a huge price, and only by letting Li Jing come to the door in person, so that the Kong family can keep so much land and so much family wealth.

But is Li Jing really willing? The answer is definitely no.

"Li Jing wants to persecute our Kong family, but without the sacrifice of the Kong family, can it be regarded as a sacrificial saint? That is a snub saint, and the people who read the world will not approve of it. Kong Chuan said gloomily: "Without Yan Shenggong presiding, his sacrifice does not count, so if he wants to sacrifice, he must also see if he has this qualification." One charge of neglecting a saint is enough to make him stink for 10,000 years. ”

"Second brother, you can go for a trip! How to say, he is also the emperor of the Central Plains, and he came to worship the ancestors, and my Confucian family can't be too rude, but you are not the Holy Duke of Yan, so you can't preside over the sacrifice. Kong Duanyou glanced at Kong Duancao and said: "If the Kong family is not here at that time, I am afraid that the people of the world will also talk about us, doesn't he Hongwu Emperor just want to borrow the world's scholars to make us bow our heads?" I'm not as good as he wants, see what he can do with my Kong family? ”

"Not bad. If Emperor Hongwu of the Tang Dynasty really dares to come by force, we will immediately go south and go to the Southern Song Dynasty, I believe that the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty will definitely need our arrival. Kong Chuan said triumphantly.

Kong Duancao was in a trance for a while, the news of the Kong family's southward movement had actually spread within the Kong family for a long time, and even the Southern Song Dynasty emperor had sent someone to invite the Kong family to go south. The Kong family has always felt confused because they left their ancestral land and lived in a foreign land, but in the hearts of Kong Duanyou and others, if they can't maintain the dignity of the Kong family, there is no way to stay in their ancestral land.

"If Emperor Hongwu doesn't come to Queli this time, we will leave Queli, and the second brother will stay behind, guarding the Yansheng Mansion and guarding the Lin Temple." Kong Duanyou looked at Kong Duancao and said.

"Yes." Kong Duancao couldn't see any expression on his face, he just responded, Lin Miao really needs to be guarded, but it definitely shouldn't be a high-level Kong clan like Kong Duancao, the Kong clan people stay here, they will definitely be oppressed by Li Jing, and even Li Jing was angry, and really killed all the Kong clans, Kong Duancao thought that this was not impossible.

Kong Duanyou left by himself, leaving the danger to himself, which made Kong Duancao slightly dissatisfied in his heart, but after thinking that he was also a member of the Kong family and a saint, the dissatisfaction in his heart could only be suppressed in his heart.

"Mighty and unyielding, this is my Kong family, I want to see what Emperor Hongwu is capable of!" Kong Duanyou looked into the distance and said calmly. He had a graceful complexion, as if he were a wise man.
