Since these officials and gentry of the big clans in Shandong refused to cooperate, Zhu Youxiao didn't bother to bother to talk more, and walked out directly in front of these officials and gentry, and a group of officials had to follow, although they were not very willing to accept the gentry to pay for food, but in the end, it was the officials of the imperial court, and the emperor expressed his attitude, and he could only do things obediently for the sake of his career. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Kong Yinzhi and other squires did not have the enthusiasm to greet the holy car at the beginning, although on the surface they seemed to be able to be respectful, but the expression on their faces was obviously much lighter.

Because of the matter of the officials and gentry receiving food together, the meeting between the emperor and the gentry broke up unhappily.

Kong Yinzhi fell ill the next day, and he didn't come to Zhu Youxiao here to say hello, but only sent his son Kong Xingxie to say hello.

Li Mingrui, a scholar of the cabinet and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, originally had a good impression of the Holy Duke of Kong Yan, and it was he who advised His Majesty Zhu Youxiao to treat the Confucian Mansion with courtesy first, and if the Confucian Mansion was stubborn, it would not be too late to use thunderous measures. Now seeing this, the Holy Duke of Kong Yan is so contemptuous of His Majesty today because of Zhu Youxiao's proposal that the officials and gentry pay for one thing, which makes him a little annoyed.

"Although they are descendants of saints, they do not have the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness of saints", this is the headline of a long editorial that Li Mingrui later signed and published in the official newspaper of the Ming Dynasty, Daming Daily.

Whether it is an individual or a group, once their own interests are challenged, it is difficult to compromise and retreat, and it is normal for Kong Yinzhi and other squires to behave like this, although they also know that His Majesty is not a benevolent and humble monarch, but people will always think purely optimistically.

Although Kong Yinzhi did not come to see Zhu Youxiao due to illness, he met Gu Tingzhuo, the political envoy of Shan0 Dongbu, and Luo Maoji, the governor of Yanzhou Prefecture, in his secret room.

Gu Tingzhuo and Kong Yinzhi have a deep relationship, and they were also funded by Kong Yinzhi before becoming a junior sergeant.

And Luo Maoji was originally from a lifting family, but he was able to be the prefect, the reason is that he is actually a slave of the Confucian Mansion, because of the careful dedication of several generations of his family to the Confucian Mansion, he was released by the Confucian Mansion to study, and he was admitted all the way to the prefect and promoted to the prefect, which is also the help of his master Kong Yinzhi, of course, the change of origin is also the help of the people of the Confucian family.

Therefore, although Luo Maoji is the prefect of Yanzhou, he is actually just a spokesperson for Kong Yinzhi to control Yanzhou.

"Your Majesty still wants to attack us, although we are so respectful to him, but in the end it is still not as close as his eunuchs and ministers and the people of Li", Kong Yinzhi slapped his hands full of fat on the stone table fiercely, and then asked through gritted teeth: "Tell me, what should we do?" ”

Although Luo Maoji was an official to the prefect, he couldn't take the slightest posture in front of his master, so naturally he couldn't come up with any ideas, so he just responded resignedly.

However, Gu Tingzhuo, the political envoy, pondered for a while and said: "Yan Shenggong and don't worry, although it is Your Majesty's intention to implement the integration of officials and gentry to pay food, but Your Majesty is also afraid of us, otherwise we will not pretend to use Yuan Keli's mouth, although we dare not do anything to Your Majesty, but if Yuan Keli is overthrown, we can also let Your Majesty know the difficulties in this and force him to retreat." ”

Kong Yinzhi nodded after hearing this and said: "It can only be like this, but today the saint is getting farther and farther away from us and other gentry, today is the official gentry one food, I am afraid that there will be greater actions in the future, we can't help but be on guard, but the hateful thing is that he is now very majestic, and there are many people loyal to him inside and outside the court, a few days ago, my Nanzong Confucian family sent back a letter, and one of his sons was beaten half to death by Qin Botong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard who trained troops in Xuzhou, because of his slander against His Majesty today. ”

"This point, all the knowledgeable scholars and doctors in the world are worried, the best way is to let the current saint and the previous generations of emperors into the Huangquan underground palace as soon as possible, support the king of the letter to ascend the throne, but now the current saint has a very strict control over the king of the letter, and anyone who has contact with the king of faith will be slaughtered almost within a few days, so now no one dares to approach the king of the letter openly, in addition, now the worse thing is that the palace has come to the news that His Majesty has a dragon species, so it seems that the prince may be pinned on the prince, When the prince is young, he will ask a respected person to teach him to read, and who will be the speaker of the East Palace in the future will definitely determine the direction of the society in the future. ”

After Gu Tingzhuo said, Kong Yinzhi waved his hand a little impatiently and said: "It's not that far now, the key now is to prevent the implementation of this official gentry's integrated grain payment, Yuan Keli This guy has refused to make friends with us since he was the governor of Denglai, but he has military power, and I dare not touch him, but now we have to find a way to get rid of him, as long as we get rid of him, we have to see who in the court and the central government dares to mention the matter of the official gentry paying for food again!" ”

Kong Yinzhi said this, and both of them nodded hurriedly.

Kong Yinzhi suddenly asked again: "Where did Wang Ren go, this guy won't forget the tens of thousands of taels of snowflake silver that the old man gave him every month so quickly." ”

"Your Majesty's personal guards found a female corpse in the area of the turtle tomb when burying Yuan Chonghuan, and it looks like she was tortured and killed, because it alarmed Your Majesty, so he and Governor Yuan Keli rushed over, and it was also appalling to say, I heard that his lower body was torn, and even his pelvis was fractured."

When Gu Tingzhuo said, Kong Yinzhi couldn't help but tremble, and then forced a calm smile and said: "He's also active as a detective. ”

At this time, Luo Maoji also hurriedly interjected: "Isn't it, but this case is indeed not small, I heard that it is related to the daughter of a villager Kong Zhiqi back then." ”

Syllable!

Kong Yinzhi slapped the table and frightened Luo Maoji back a few steps.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Kong Yinzhi coldly ordered: "Don't mention Kong Zhiqi's matter again, this matter is rotten in my stomach, as for whether this newly discovered female corpse is his daughter, Your Majesty and Yuan Keli will let them check if they are interested!" ”

"Yes!"

Luo Maoji, the prefect of Yanzhou, replied resignedly.

The political envoy Gu Tingzhuo also wanted to leave, and Kong Yinzhi asked his second son Kong Xingkai to send him off.

After Kong Xingkai sent away the political envoy Gu Tingzhuo and returned to Kong Yinzhi, he went straight to the courtyard where Zhu Youxiao was stationed, and he didn't dare to approach, so he hid behind the corridor to watch.

Zhu Youxiao is also living comfortably now, pretending to be indifferent, and even at this moment, he is still accompanying a young woman named Lingxin, who has a skin-to-skin relationship with him these days, to enjoy the flowers and flutter butterflies.

And this scene happened to be seen by Kong Xingkai, but his face was flushed.

At this time, someone suddenly patted him on the back, Kong Xingkai glanced back, but it was his eldest brother Kong Xingxie, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Brother, when are you here." ”

Kong Xingxie patted Kong Xingkai's forehead: "Go back, don't stay here, I know you like Lingxin, but don't you see that people are very happy in front of Your Majesty now, there are some things that can't be forced." ”

"That's not necessarily, no matter how good I was to her before, she was very cold to me, but now she is so flattering in front of His Majesty, I was really blind at the beginning, if she wasn't for the person next to her mother, I would have learned from my father and let her die in a body!"
