"Unexpectedly, I really can't imagine that Yan Shenggong will also be fake!" ”

Zhao Shu made a fuss, in fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing to be surprised about, their old Zhao family, counting him, has only passed on five emperors for four generations, and during this period, Zhao Er assassinated the eldest brother, and Zhenzong and Renzong almost had no descendants.

The Confucian family has been passed down for more than 40 generations, can there be less stories? During the period, it experienced the rebellion at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the rebellion of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

Perhaps the real descendants of Confucius are long gone.

The rebellion of Kong Mo is clearly stated, of course, there are many doubts, it is doubtful, and there is no more terrible thing than the Kong Mo Rebellion, no one can say.

Therefore, the Kong family in Qufu really has nothing to do with the saint for a long time.

It's just that the imperial court respects Confucius and Confucianism, so the Confucian family is held high as a mascot.

When the imperial court doesn't need the Kong family, it can abolish them in minutes!

Zhao Shu thought for a while, and immediately asked people to invite the master.

"I think I'm going to abolish the Kong family."

Wang Ningan nodded with a smile, "Your Majesty, in order to thrive on the study of a hundred schools, it is indeed necessary to abolish the unified status of Confucianism in order to give other schools of thought room to survive." Since Confucianism is to be abolished, the Confucian family must be moved first, and only by cutting down this banner can the next thing be discussed. Moreover, from the Qingmiao Law, the Fangtian Average Tax Law, to the current reform of the tax system and the development of industry, the Confucian family is strongly opposed, they sit on millions of acres of arable land, fish and meat villages, resist change, many families are vying to follow suit, has become the biggest obstacle to the change! ”

"What the master said is extremely true, because of this, the Kong family must be eliminated first...... It's just that I haven't figured it out yet, how to start? Zhao Shu said: "The incident of Kong Mo Chaokong is indeed suspicious, all kinds of signs indicate that it was the Zhang family who usurped the position of Yan Shenggong, but we can't come up with ironclad evidence!" ”

In fact, this matter is not complicated, if it is placed in the future generations, take the DNA of the Zhang family and compare it with Kong Renyu's descendants, and the truth will be revealed immediately, the problem is that the Great Song Dynasty does not have this technology.

And more than a hundred years have passed, and it is not so easy to abolish the Kong family just by virtue of some doubts.

Many people have the illusion that the emperor has unlimited power, he can do whatever he wants, as long as he has the right to fight, he can kill and take it at will.

That's not the case at all.

Take Wang Ning'an as an example, his power is big enough!

He ordered in the name of the political affairs hall that if the Confucian family was abolished for no reason, the Yushitai would reject it, and the other governors would not support it, and they could directly sue the emperor with the power to stay alone.

Of course, Zhao Shu will stand on the master's side, but he can't be reasonable, and if he can't come up with enough reasons, he can't implement it. Even if it is forcefully implemented, other bureaucrats will strongly oppose it.

You must know that officialdom is a huge machine, others dare not say it, but they can do it privately, the simplest is to be passive and slack, Zhao Zhen was so tired in his early years.

Of course, you can also depose these passive and slacking off, but the problem is that being an official is a very profound knowledge, and you can't just touch your head.

There are many people who want to be officials in the Great Song Dynasty, but there are not many people who may be officials.

This is the reason why Wang Ningan knows that some people are not of the same mind as him, and they can't change people casually, in addition to ability, they also have to consider qualifications, popularity, and various complex relationships, all in all, three or five sentences are not clear.

Just like now, of course, he wants to take advantage of the Kong Mo Rebellion to completely abolish Yan Shenggong and kill chickens and monkeys.

But the trouble is that if there is no ironclad evidence, someone will jump out and cause trouble, and the official will not agree, and Shilin will not be able to say it.

"Your Majesty, Sima Xianggong asks to see you."

Zhao Shu immediately nodded, "Let him come over." ”

After a while, Sima Guang hurriedly came to greet Zhao Shu, and then smiled at Wang Ning'an: "The prince is also here, just right, there is a scroll here, please look at it with Your Majesty and the prince." ”

As he spoke, Sima Guang took out a yellowed file and placed it in front of him.

Wang Ningan and Zhao Shu both came over and looked carefully.

It turned out that this file turned out to be from the post-Tang Dynasty, and it was difficult for Sima Guang to find out.

Wang Ningan took a quick look, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became.

This file just records the process of Kong Renyu's accusation against Kong Mo that year.

The emperor at that time was Li Siyuan, and not many people knew him, and most people still knew him from "Bad People", so you can rest assured and boldly tell everyone that in addition to borrowing people's names, bad people have nothing to do with history.

Li Siyuan is a native of Shatuo, who has fought since he was a child and has made many military exploits.

But he was a very big old man, and when he was supported and ascended the throne, he didn't even know what a country name was.

Others persuaded him to change the name of the country and not to call it Tang, but Li Siyuan said that he had always been a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and later followed Li Cunqiao for more than 20 years.

Therefore, Li Siyuan continued to use Tang as the national name, and was known as the Later Tang Dynasty in history.

With Li Siyuan's cultural level, of course, he couldn't understand the affairs of the Confucian family, and when the case broke out, Li Siyuan basically listened to the advice of Prime Minister Feng Dao.

Feng Dao is also a strange person, and he is also a figure worth studying.

The old guy was loyal to ten emperors in his life, and during this period, he also served the Liao State. After reading this person's life, I will understand most of the history of the entire five dynasties and ten countries.

He has been the prime minister for decades, and no matter how the situation changes, his old man has sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and has not moved.

Feng Dao was highly respected during his lifetime, but after his death, he was scolded by the literati, saying that he was capricious and a complete villain!

Of course, the old gentleman has been gone for more than a hundred years, and Sima Guang has no intention of defending Feng Dao.

He just reminded Wang Ning'an that when Kong Renyu reported Kong Mo's case to the imperial court, Feng Dao strongly supported Kong Renyu, and sent someone to investigate thoroughly, and finally determined that what Kong Renyu said was true, and Kong Mo was not a descendant of Confucius.

According to the records in Sima Guang's hand, Feng Dao participated in this matter from beginning to end, and actively suggested, even Wen Xuangong was helped by Feng Dao.

But the paradox is that when the Kong family recounted this period of history, they only mentioned the protection and protection of the Zhang family, and never mentioned Feng Dao's help.

Perhaps the Kong family also felt that it was too embarrassing to be entangled with an old shameless person, so they deliberately hid this paragraph.

Sima Guang is familiar with the scriptures and history, and he has memorized people, so he vaguely knows something, in fact, Feng Dao is still a good person, the old guy is a big festival, a small thing is good, a very, very interesting person.

Sima Guang relied on his memory to dig out the actual record of the Later Tang Dynasty, and sure enough, he found this paragraph.

"Your Majesty, Master, please see, Feng Dao basically doesn't talk much under Li Siyuan's subordinates, and only when the emperor consults him, will he talk about something...... Only in the matter of the Kong family, Feng Dao tried his best to fight, back and forth, and kept talking...... It's really weird! ”

Wang Ningan smiled slightly, he knew Sima Guang too well, he found out this matter from the pile of old papers, and he was stunned to tie the Kong family and Feng Dao together, if there was no article, it would be strange!

"Junshi, what do you think? Will Feng Dao contribute to Kong Renyu in vain? Or, just to administer justice? ”

Sima Guang felt a hint of cunning in the teacher's eyes, and it seemed that he couldn't deceive the teacher with this little trick.

"I've already asked people to go to Hejian Mansion to inquire about Feng Dao's descendants, and maybe some of the results may be uncertain."

Sima Guang's shot has never been missed.

Only five days later, someone took a copy of Feng Dao's notes and sent it to the capital.

In Feng Dao's notes, I found this matter, in the first year of Changxing in the Later Tang Dynasty, Feng Dao got a treasure, which was Wang Xizhi's Lan Tingxu!

This is the first line of books in the ages, Feng Dao is also a literati, and he is also a top literati, he is very happy, in his notes, there is a sentence, saying that Lu Di sent treasures, Taizong accompanied the fake to sleep forever, sorry!

It turned out that Tang Taizong liked Lan Tingxu very much, and gave his close ministers a copy of the book, and took the real book with him for burial.

According to Feng Dao, what Tang Taizong got was actually a copy, and the real Lanting preface fell into the hands of the Kong family.

Although Kong Mo was the son of the Kong family, he did not know the existence of Lan Tingxu.

He just killed Kong Renyu, but he never thought that seventeen years later, the Zhang family used Lan Tingxu to buy Feng Dao, and with Feng Dao's help, he overthrew Kong Mo!

After reading Feng Dao's notes, the monarchs and ministers all sighed!

Finally, the truth was revealed, Kong Renyu was by no means the real descendant of the Kong family, otherwise why would he use the ancestral treasure in exchange for Feng Dao's help...... And Feng Dao's character is so poor, of course, he will not hesitate to bully the monarch for the sake of a treasure, and help the fake Kong Renyu seize power!

As if in order to prove this story, the person sent found out Lan Tingxu from Feng Dao's house and sent it to the capital.

After the appraisal of Ouyang Xiu and others, they unanimously agreed that this is genuine!

Everyone congratulated the emperor on his treasure.

Zhao Shu faced the first line of books in the world, of course, he was very happy.

But he was not welcome.

Zhao Shu immediately brought the ministers over, and the little emperor was furious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now there is the Zhang family tree, Feng Dao's notes, and the actual records of the Later Tang Dynasty...... All kinds of evidence prove that the real saint Miao has died in the rebellion of Kong Mo, Kong Mo is fake, and the so-called Kong Renyu is not real, he is Zhang Lei, the son of the Zhang family! Impostor, deceived the world, and actually got the title of Duke Wenxuan, especially hateful, they deceived the first emperor, it is simply heinous! ”

Zhao Shu said sharply: "I announce that the title of Yan Shenggong will be abolished, and anyone who has no choice but to claim to be the descendants of the saint and sacrifice the master will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites to handle." ”
