Zhang Heng is not outstanding among many fellow subjects, he is just a follower, two years ago, he took over the position of the prefect of Yanzhou, just like he has always been, conscientious, hard-working, and his political performance is also very good.

It's just that in Yanzhou, there is a behemoth that no one can afford to offend, and that is the Kong family!

About eight years ago, Dr. Taichang Zu Wuxuan wrote that he believed that the title given to Confucius in the Tang Dynasty was the King of Wenxuan, and the descendants of Confucius were respected as Wenxuan Gong.

It is not appropriate to add the title of ancestor to future generations.

At that time, Zhao Zhen adopted the suggestion and changed the title of the descendants of the Confucian family to Yan Shenggong.

This is the origin of Yan Sheng Gong No. 1!

I have to say that at that time, the six arts and one series were not so huge, and the hundred schools and one series made by Song Zhen were even more missing. Otherwise, this title would not have fallen on the Kong family.

Because derivation represents reproduction and prosperity, and it continues from generation to generation, it is equivalent to the respect for the Confucian family, which has reached the limit.

As a law-changer who is committed to promoting the spirit of a hundred schools, of course he won't like it.

But the problem is that eight years ago, these people not only did not stop it, but on the contrary, they tried to cater to it.

Even Wang Ningan didn't care about these bad things, and his energy at that time was focused on governing Youzhou and moving the capital. The Kong family took advantage of a loophole and got the name of Yan Shenggong, and for a while, it was extremely prominent.

Many literati went to the Confucian family to touch the aura of the saints, including the officials in the court, and they also respected the Confucian family very much. In the past eight years, the Kong family has more than doubled its farm production, and there are thousands of thugs under him.

Because of the development of the city, the demand for coal in all places is very strong, but Yanzhou is rich in coal, the Kong family took the opportunity to occupy the coal-producing area, and made more than a dozen small coal kilns, just like Youzhou Xishan, which is also a daily gold.

After Wang Ning'an developed the steam engine, he expected that coal mines and iron mines would be of great use, so he suggested that the government affairs hall immediately draft a decree to clarify the norms for land acquisition.

The Kong family also has eyes and hands, they actually got the news, and before the decree was passed, they got all the surrounding barren mountains and land, and gathered a group of villagers to let them dig coal mines and occupy the mining area.

When the imperial court order came down, Zhang Heng wanted to expropriate the land, and the Kong family still had minions, so they resolutely opposed it, and they were sent to serve several times, but they were all beaten back.

Moreover, the Kong family also threatened to sue Zhang Heng.

made Zhang Heng in an embarrassing situation, and he had no choice but to ask his uncle for help.

In fact, Zhang Heng's grandfather Zhang Dexiang is also a figure in the ruling position, and the Zhang family is full of talents, and he will not be afraid of the Kong family. But the problem is that Zhang Dexiang has been dead for many years, and the protégé of the year is long gone, the Zhang family is not accepted, and the most capable person is only Zhang Dun, and there is no way but to ask him for help!

"People go to tea and cool, officialdom is like a market, it's really chilling!" Zhang Heng kept shaking his head and sighing.

Zhang Dian narrowed his eyes and smiled contemptuously.

"With your knowledge, it's strange not to be bullied!"

Zhang Heng was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Please ask my uncle for advice!" ”

"Does that need to be said? The expropriation of land in the mining area is an order issued by our master, and you are implementing the imperial decree for the master, as the saying goes, ...... It depends on the master to beat the apprentice, you are not only a student of the master, but also carry out the will of the master, you say, is the Confucian family not aimed at the master, or against you? ”

The corners of Zhang Heng's mouth twitched twice, "The little nephew thinks that the Kong family may not have the courage, but they are too greedy and unwilling to give up the benefits, as a disciple, they shouldn't cause trouble to the master, what does the uncle think?" ”

"Phew!"

Zhang Dian looked at the table and scolded angrily, "It's not that I'm causing trouble to Master, but that trouble has come to the door!" If you can't push it down, what will others think? What would you think? ”

Zhang Heng was dumbfounded, and Nuo Nuo was speechless.

Zhang Dian lit his head and taught: "They will say that the master will not succeed, the master is afraid of the Confucian family, the so-called order and prohibition, that is, there can be no loopholes, if you meet the Confucian family, the decree will not work, there will be thousands of Confucian families, and when the time comes, the new law will be a dead letter!" ”

"If you're really afraid of causing trouble for Master, you should really show your skills! If the Kong family dares to beat your errand servants, you will seal their mansion! Hurt your people, you will arrest their people! Got it? ”

Zhang Heng was so frightened that his face turned white, grinning, and he didn't know what to say!

Uncle, you're a madman!

They are the descendants of the saints!

Feel free to move them, what will the world's readers think?

What's more, you and I are also disciples of Confucius and Mencius, and we don't even talk about a little incense?

Although in recent years, whether it is the six arts or the hundred schools, they are all impacting the status of Confucius and Mencius, and even a large number of literati have stood up to criticize the hypocrisy of Confucius and Mencius, and the old school literati have also been completely eliminated.

But thousands of years of tradition, how can it be easily changed, when it comes to the Confucian family, it is still unattainable, similar to the immortals, how can people fight with the immortals?

"Look at your useless virtue! What is a Confucian family, your uncle and I, even the king of the Japanese dare to scold! You're a shame on me! ”

Zhang Dian was unforgiving, but he still stood up and quickly took Zhang Heng to meet Wang Ning'an, don't look at this guy running the train with his mouth full, but he also knows that it is not a trivial matter that the Kong family is involved. Without Master's help, it is easy to suffer.

This pair of uncles and nephews came to the palace in Youzhou, not to mention, the Wang family will never lack surprises.

In the yard, Su Shi, a dogtooth, was holding a round fat man, and he was happy!

Su Shi stuffed the bitten apple to Fat Da, who knew that the national treasure still pays attention to hygiene, so he had to stretch out his claws to catch the unbitten, but accidentally spilled all the apples in the basket.

Looking at the apples all over the ground, the two rolls couldn't hold it anymore, and screamed and pounced.

There was no way, Su Shi and Gouya could only desperately catch it, and finally caught Fat Da, Su Shi gasped and said, "Look where you are running!" ”

He just looked up and saw Zhangdun with a face as black as iron.

"Su Zizhan!"

"Zhangzi is thick!"

These two people immediately fried like fighting cocks!

"You beat me last time, and the account hasn't been settled yet!" Su Shi picked up Fat Da, stretched out his bear paws, and threatened: "Tell you, I can't beat you, but I have a helper, see no, these two pandas!" They're amazing! ”

"Really?"

Zhang Dian suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the thick fur of Fat Da's neck, and easily snatched the little guy into his hand, this helper who was pinned on by Su Shi was not at all powerful, and actually obediently lay in Zhang Tun's arms, enjoying it, and didn't care about Su Shi, who was alone!

"Waste,What else can you do besides selling cuteness?,Give it a little harder!"

Zhang Dian snorted, "Su Zizhan, a manly man, don't always do hurtful things behind your back, I can ignore the nonsense you talked about last time, but I want to ask you, what's going on with "Journey to the East"?" You're scribbling in there, slandering my reputation as a jung, and we're not done! ”

Saying that Zhang Dian chased after him, Su Shi was so frightened that he ran, but he was too fat to outrun Zhang Tun's two long legs.

The research was about to be caught, and Su Shi was in a hurry.

"Surnamed Zhang, you're not a gentleman! We are all students of the Six Arts, and we are bullied in the same class, and you don't know how to help. Let me ask you, is it what you said at the beginning? How did you forget? ”

Groov.

Zhang Dian stopped, and Su Shi was finally able to take a breath.

"Okay, Brother Zizhan, you are well-informed enough, and you know everything."

"Nonsense, that's what I'm here for!"

He pushed Zhang Heng away, walked to Zhang Heng's side, and said with concern: "Ziping, don't worry, there are our big guys, just the Kong family, it's nothing, if they dare to offend the people of the Six Arts, they will make them pay!" ”

Su Shi kept comforting Zhang Heng, and handed over the two rolls to Gouya'er to take care of, he took Zhang Heng directly into the study and left Zhang Heng outside.

Zhang Dian touched his nose, surnamed Su, when did you become so enthusiastic? He was also angry and had nowhere to vent, so he had to follow in.

The three apprentices stood in a row, but Wang Ningan's face was not very good.

"Ziping, this thing is not very easy to do!"

After listening to the first sentence, Zhang Heng continued to make a fuss.

"It's all the disciple's incompetence that has caused chaos to the master, and the disciple is willing to bear all the blame."

Zhang Dian glared at him, "After you heard Master, why are you in a hurry to admit your mistakes?" ”

"It's just, there's nothing wrong with us!" Su Shi said.

Wang Ning'an had just received a secret letter from the capital, and Su Shi also brought Sima Guang's meaning.

"The Kong family is just a representative, because of the problem of the mine, it involves many local families, including Jingxi Road, Jingdong Road, Jinghu Road, especially Hebei East and West Road, and Yongxing Military Road!"

These places in Wang Ning'an are all major coal-producing areas.

According to Wang Ning'an's idea, the coal and iron mines should be owned by the imperial court, and then the imperial court should come forward to develop them, but the local government does not see it that way, and a large number of people hope to hand over the coal mines to the local government, and the imperial court only collects taxes.

It just so happened that there were not many places in a financial crisis before! Now that there is a famine, they are trying to fill the hole with the money from the coal mines.

Wang Ningan said: "Zizhan sent me a message, but the day before Zizhan arrived in Youzhou, Wen Kuanfu also wrote me a secret letter. ”

"Wen Yanbo? What does he mean? Zhang Dunwen said.

"Zihou, can't you guess?" Wang Ningan sneered.

Zhang Duan took a breath, "Lao Wen wants to let the local business go?" ”

"Hmm!"

"Dreaming!" Su Shi immediately said: "What is a local business? To put it bluntly, it is handed over to the family! He Wen Yanbo didn't have a good heart, he wanted to take the opportunity to start and fatten himself! ”

Wang Ningan nodded, "That's right, but the problem is that he is not the only one who has this idea!" ”

"Who else?" The three of them asked together.

Wang Ningan took out five or six letters one after another and threw them on the table.

The first one is Jia Changchao's, the second is Song Zhen's, the third is Cao Tong's, the fourth is Zhao Yunbi's, and the most amazing thing is that one of them is Di Qing's!

There are also some people, such as Pang Ji, such as Han Jiang, although they didn't speak, their attitude is self-evident!

Zhang Dian and Su Shi looked at each other, their faces turned pale with fright, and they whispered: "Master, you are the enemy of the Manchurian dynasty this time!" ”
