Early the next morning, Li Jing was exercising in the barracks, his upper body was full of beads of sweat, and the hammer in his hand was waving, like a straw, and Li Dang on the opposite side was covered in sweat, and he couldn't hold the big knife in his hand, and Zhao Ding and Gao Zhan walked over not far away.

"General Li, how does it taste?" Zhao Ding smiled and looked at Li Dare and said.

"Your Majesty is brave, how can the last general be Your Majesty's opponent." Li Dang took advantage of the situation to throw the big knife on the ground, and said with a wry smile: "The last general was forced over by His Majesty, otherwise, he should have teased Sun in Bianjing at this time." ”

Li is Li Jing's house slave, after Li Jing became the emperor, Li family and two kingdoms, become the envy of the world, this time the army came to Ludi, the generals in their hands have been sent, plus to confuse the Jin people, only to invite Li Dare out, as the commander of the Royal Forest Army, to protect the royal car.

"Uncle Li should be strong and strong, why should he be humble." Li Jing put on a brocade robe with a smile and said to Zhao Ding: "Say, what made you come so early." ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the Kong family is here, it is Kong Duancao and Kong Fan's father and son." Zhao Ding's face was pale and he hurriedly said: "The minister is probably here to talk about the sacrifice of the day after tomorrow, the general sacrifice of the Son of Heaven to the Confucian saint is presided over by the Kong family, for the royal family, this is probably the only role of the Yan Shenggong." The saint sacrificed to the Confucian saint, and there was an orthodox saying in it, showing the scholars of the world that the Son of Heaven still reused Confucianism, and those scholars would also throw themselves into the arms of the imperial court and serve the Son of Heaven. ”

"Why, if you don't sacrifice to the Confucian saint, or if you don't recognize it for the Kong family, won't this throne be stable?" Li Jing said disdainfully: "Where did this rule come from, who set this rule, why, the power of the Kong family is so great, I still need to beg him to fail?" ”

For this kind of force, Li Jing hates it the most, Zhao Ding is a scholar in the end, and he still has some feelings for the Kong family, but he doesn't dare to refute it in the face of Li Jing.

"Let them in!" Li Jing thought about it, it would be better to meet the Kong family first.

Zhao Ding didn't dare to slack off after hearing this, and hurriedly went out of the martial arts training ground, and after half a ring, he led Kong Duancao father and son into the big tent. He knew that this was what Zhou Li's sergeant doctor was wearing, but the times had changed, and Zhou Li had long been unsuitable for governing the world, and the father and son of the Kong family came to see him in such clothes, and the meaning at the moment was very simple.

"Cao Minque Li Kong Shi Kong Duancao (Kong Fan) to meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." Kong Duancao saw Li Jing for the first time, and saw that Li Jing was wearing a black Taoist robe and did not wear a dragon robe, and he was slightly surprised in his heart, but he still saluted honestly, and he was at Li Jing's momentum of standing on the dragon plate, and he also knew that the young man in front of him was not simple.

"Kong's? The face is really big enough, what, when are you going to go to Jiangnan, I can send troops to protect it. Li Jing stared at the two of them, and suddenly said with a smile.

Kong Duancao's face changed, the Kong family's departure from Qufu was a secret, even most of the Kong family didn't know, but as soon as they met Li Jing here, they were told by the other party, could it be that the Tang Emperor already knew about it? Thinking of this, Kong Duancao suddenly felt better. Everything was said by the other party, how can this be talked about.

"Your Majesty, in fact, my Kong family is ready to leave the Central Plains and go to Jiangnan at the instigation of villains, and it is rumored that Your Majesty is ready to forcibly take back the land of my Kong family, and the patriarch said such a thing, and asked Your Majesty to administer justice for my Kong family." Kong Fan didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and quickly explained.

"The land originally belonged to the imperial court, not your Kong family, and your Kong clan has occupied most of the land in Qufu over the years, and part of it was purchased with money, but can you guarantee that these lands were bought with your Kong clan's money?" Li Jing looked at Kong Duancao with disdain, Kong Fan was young and didn't know the reason for this, but as one of the deacons of the Kong family, as an upper-class figure of the Kong family, how could he not know the mystery of this, if the Kong family now buys these lands honestly, I am afraid it will cost a lot of money, and the source of some land is difficult to say.

"This, Your Majesty, this is a matter of the previous dynasty, even if it is a violation of the law, it is also the law of the previous dynasty, not to mention, because of the existence of my Qufu Kong clan, the people of Qufu can live and work here in peace and contentment, this is also considered a merit, Your Majesty cannot erase the credit of my Kong clan because of my Kong clan's mistakes." Kong Duancao hurriedly said. He looked anxious, Li Jing was already preparing to settle accounts with the Kong family when he said this.

"Although it was a matter committed in the previous dynasty, but now Qufu is under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, if the Kong family still wants to be my Li Jing's courtier, they should act according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, you will not object to this! If you Kong don't want to be my Li Jing's courtier, I won't kill you, and I will send you down to the south of the Yangtze River, don't worry, I, Li Jing, have a golden mouth, if you are willing to go, I, Li Jing, will definitely not object. Li Jing said with a smile.

Kong Duancao's face changed, he originally thought that Li Jing just wanted to force the Kong family to submit to him, and everything before was just a show, but now he knows that Li Jing's casual appearance is really not pretending, what he said is sincere, when did Qufu Kong's family become a useless thing, and discard it casually. In this way, Kong Duan didn't know how to say some of the words in his heart.

"Your Majesty, some parts of the Qufu Kong family's land were rewarded to the Kong family by the royal family in previous dynasties, so there are so many fields." Zhao Ding finally couldn't help but speak: "When the emperors of the past dynasties came to worship the Confucian saints, they would give a large number of fields, which were owned by the Yan Shenggong, on the one hand, they were used to repair the Confucian temple forest, and on the other hand, they came as the Yan Shenggong's money, and the Yan Shenggong would also use the extra money to help the students of Qufu, so the literary style in Qufu was prosperous, which was also the credit of the Yan Shenggong. ”

"So I didn't force these people, except for the land property of the Kong clan, the rest of the land property was bought by the imperial court, so that the Kong family also has money, and the people of Qufu will also have their own land, isn't it good?" Li Jing said with a smile. Although money is very important, but land is a long-term income, can Kong Shiyan give it up?

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and the grass people will come back to report to Your Majesty after discussing with the Kong clansmen." Kong Duancao thought about it and decided to let Kong Duanyou and the others decide, Li Jing did not stop him, and let Kong Duancao's father and son retreat.

"Your Majesty, Kong?" After Zhao Ding and the other father and son left, they couldn't help but ask.

"Send someone to Bianjing, let Zhao Jin come to Qufu, and when the Kong people leave, let Kong Duanyou bring Zhao Jin to Jiangnan, I believe that Zhao Gou will not send someone to kill Zhao Jin, otherwise, the reputation of the Kong family will also stink." Li Jing thought for a while and said.

"Obey." Zhao Ding was stunned for a moment and hurriedly responded.
