Chapter 622: Goodbye Yan Shenggong

Yang reformed the small court and decided the matter on the grassland with Sun Chengzong, and received a report from Wang Chengen, and Yan Shenggong asked to see him.

Yang Reform pondered for a while and said, "Let Yan Shenggong come to see me." ”

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen agreed.

……

It's still in the shade of the trees.

In the small pavilion, Yang Gengai planned to meet Kong Yinzhi here.

"Your Majesty." As soon as Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi came in, he immediately saluted respectfully, not sloppy at all, and the etiquette was the best.

"There's no need for such a big gift, let's get up." Yang Gengai said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Kong Yinzhi was serious again, and got up very seriously, without the slightest mistake.

Looking at Kong Yinzhi's extremely serious face, and not knowing what this guy was thinking, Yang Gai thought about it and decided to make a break between himself and the Kong family.

"Companion, I want to have a good chat with Yan Shenggong, clear the surroundings, and don't let people eavesdrop." Yang Gai said. There are some things that Yang Reform just wants to say to Kong Yinzhi, and he doesn't want others to listen to them, so he clears the scene first.

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen immediately understood what the emperor meant, and knew that the emperor was going to say something important, so he immediately drove the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids and guards far away.

"Does the Holy Father of Yan know what I'm going to say today?" Yang Gengai asked, although with a smile, but the words,

became cold, not that Yang Reform couldn't control his emotions and laughed so coldly, but what Yang Reform and Kong Yinzhi said was too cold.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know." Kong Yinzhi chuckled in his heart, knowing that he was going to suffer, he didn't know what the emperor was going to say to him in such a big battle today, and looked at the emperor's face, although he was smiling, but it was very terrible, Kong Yinzhi's heart immediately sank, it seems that the emperor's prejudice against his family is not ordinarily deep.

"I summoned the Qing family today to talk to the Qing family about Confucianism and the Confucian family." Yang Reform's smile was gone, only cold words.

"Listen to the hadith." Kong Yinzhi listened to this cold voice, and only felt like falling into an ice cellar, why is it so cold on such a big day?

"I don't know how Han Yi and Cao Yubian talked with Yan Shenggong...... Yang Reform said coldly, and this was the first sentence at the beginning, tearing the epidermis and asking the core content, without dragging the mud at all.

"Ahh ......" Kong Yinzhi instantly had the idea of collapse, the emperor is asking a vicious question! Did you answer yes or no? Since it was discussed, was it good or bad? I must have seen it, and I talked about it in public, this is almost a public matter, if the emperor doesn't care, then it's nothing, if the emperor wants to take care of it, it's a hat with bad intentions.

“…… Back to Your Majesty, the minister did see Han Ge Lao and Cao Zongxian, but the minister didn't promise them anything! Your Majesty's Mingjian. Kong Yinzhi's forehead began to sweat, the emperor

Didn't give him a little face! Just ask such a direct question that is directly in front of your heart. Kong Yinzhi knows that this problem is serious, and he is afraid of this tax dispute

It's time to get to the bottom of it.

"I believe that from the perspective of the Confucian family, I will not easily make any promises to others. Yang Reform is still cold words.

"Your Majesty Xie Mingjian." Kong Yinzhi's cultivation kung fu

has practiced perfectly, and there has been no big change on the surface, but in my heart, I am afraid, looking at today's posture, it is really not a good thing.

"I also believe that from the perspective of the Kong family, they will not easily make any promises to Han Yi and Cao Yubian, let alone make any promises to me, right?" Yang Reform's words are like a sharp knife, constantly cutting through Kong Yinzhi's appearance.

"Your Majesty! ......" Kong Yinzhi couldn't stand anymore and knelt down, this is a heart-wrenching word, so he can only kowtow on the ground.

"Yan Shenggong doesn't have to be so afraid, I don't have any ill will towards the Qing family, I just compare my heart with my heart and tell a fact." Yang Reform is still scraping holes with a sharp knife.

"Your Majesty, the minister has no intention of His Majesty, and the Confucian family has no intention of betraying the Ming Dynasty, please let Your Majesty know it!" Even if Kong Yinzhi had a bad preparation for today's events, he was still scared half to death by the emperor's words, saying this means that his Kong family is doing things behind the emperor's back! To put it more seriously, it is rebellion, and this crime is so big that it is boundless......

"Yan Shenggong's words, I believe, from the perspective of the Confucian family, it is easy to understand, the Confucian family has been treated preferentially by all dynasties, and it is not something that only the Zhu family has in the Ming Dynasty, according to the status of the Confucian family, but there is no need to care about these disputes at all, these disputes, no matter who wins or who loses, have nothing to do with the Confucian family, the Confucian family is still Yan Shenggong, isn't it? Therefore, I believe that Yan Shenggong will not easily agree to anything ...... Han Yi and Cao Yubian, let alone betray me and the imperial court......" Yang Reform looked at this Kong Yinzhi with sharp eyes, and the words fell gently, but they pressed heavily on Kong Yinzhi's body, pressing Kong Yinzhi so much that he couldn't raise his head. ,

"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming!" Kong Yinzhi

He couldn't lift his head, but he felt that something was pressing heavily on his neck, making him unable to lift his head.

“…… Far away, the Song Dynasty is over, the next is the Yuan, the Confucian family in the Song Dynasty is Yan Shenggong, to the Yuan Dynasty, it is still Yan Shenggong, although the dynasty is different, but it actually has no impact on the Confucian family, the former Yuan Dynasty is destroyed, it is my Zhu family Daming, the Confucian family is still Yan Shenggong, so I believe that Yan Shenggong will not favor either side, even I, the emperor, in the eyes of the Confucian family, maybe, is nothing, preferential treatment of the Confucian family is established, even if I am the emperor, it is impossible, and even dare not do anything to the Confucian family, so, Yan Sheng Gong can ignore me, let alone Han Yi and Cao Yubian, I am right? Yang Reform's words are like a bloody knife, constantly scraping around Kong Yinzhi's body, the knife sees the flesh, and the knife sees the blood.

Kong Yinzhi trembled and fell to the ground, enduring the stinging pain of a steel knife scraping bones.

"The capital crime of the minister is ......, and the capital crime ......" Kong Yinzhi

There was not much strength to speak, and the emperor's words were so cold that he shivered; The emperor's words were too sharp, and scraping on the body was like cutting meat.

“…… I also believe that one day my Ming Dynasty perished, the Confucian family will still be the Yan Shenggong, if the Ming Dynasty dies in my hands, the Qing family may also write a letter of persuasion to the next emperor, and persuade the ...... to enter the table "Yang reform, unusually cold, cold words, but also with some loss. If you hadn't traveled to this era, this sentence would have come true, and the great rivers and mountains would have been given away, and China would have started a career of regression and suffering for hundreds of years.

This sentence is even more than killing Kong Yinzhi to kill his life, his family is a descendant of the saint, and the saint keeps saying "rites", "benevolence" and "righteousness", but now the emperor says that he will write a letter of persuasion to the next emperor, and the persuasion table, where is this to put "rites", "benevolence" and "righteousness"? What about the great principle of kings and ministers? Where is it placed? Kong Yinzhi didn't even dare to have the slightest intention of justifying, the emperor's words just now

It's very clear, when it comes to the former Song Dynasty and the former Yuan, if you want to defend yourself, what the emperor said just now is not a fart? This is an ironclad fact. When one dynasty is over, the next dynasty will come, and his family will definitely continue to be the Holy Duke of Yan and the courtiers of the new dynasty, not what will happen in the future, but

That's it.

"Kong Yinzhi! …… Raise your head...... Looking into my eyes...... "Yang Reform was lost for a while, and ordered Kong Yinzhi to raise his head, but this time, he wanted to completely destroy Kong Yinzhi's psychological defense line and let him follow the path he set. In this Chinese feudal society where Confucianism is dominant, the root of many social problems involves Confucianism, and it is impossible to bypass Confucianism to change, and Confucius is a root or epitome of Confucianism, or in other words, a key point, to achieve the goal of changing Confucianism by changing Confucius, which is the strategy of Yang's reform.

Kong Yinzhi crouched on the ground,

It was trembling that he couldn't stop trembling, and when he heard the emperor ask him to raise his head, he felt even more frightened, for fear that as soon as he raised his head, he would see a hideous demon, and when he heard the emperor ask him to look up into the emperor's eyes, he was even more afraid of seeing the anger in the emperor's eyes, for fear that the anger would burn him completely.

Kong Yinzhi didn't dare or wanted to raise his head, but he raised his head as if he was enchanted, looked at the emperor tremblingly, and looked into the emperor's eyes. In the emperor's eyes, there is loss, pain, remorse, and anxiety that are transmitted through time and space; It is the sword and sword, and it is all over the ground; It is also endless sorrow, pity.

It was the first time for Kong Yinzhi to see so much information in a person's eyes, and when this information was transmitted, it was as if he had felt it himself. Fear, fear, frustration, loss, pain, remorse, sorrow, pity, and other thoughts passed through his body......

In an instant, Kong Yinzhi felt as if a hundred years had passed.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty of capital crimes, the minister should be loyal to His Majesty, and the Kong family should be loyal to the Ming Dynasty......" Kong Yinzhi bowed his head deeply and kowtowed heavily to death.

"I'm not saying that the Qing family is disloyal, nor is it saying that the Kong family is disloyal, nor is it asking the Qing family and the Kong family to accompany me and Daming to die together, if I

On the day when the country will be destroyed, I may ask the Kong family to continue to be the Holy Duke of Yan......" Yang Gai retracted his eyes that looked directly at Kong Yinzhi, and said lightly, with indelible sadness and loss in his words.

"The minister is guilty of capital crimes......" Kong Yinzhi's voice was also faint, without a trace of emotion, and it seemed that the whole person was a person

Drained out. ,

"This is my sincere words, not lies, nor angry words, nor rhetoric......" Yang Reform continued to speak lightly.

Kong Yinzhi raised his head and looked at the emperor, with eyes in his eyes,

I couldn't see anything bright, and there was a blank space.

"If I have lost the country, I don't want the world to die. The death of the country, that is the reason for me, the responsibility that should be borne by me, I will never shirk it, but I can't let the world also die, and the death of the world, that is, the extinction of the species, and the death of my descendants of Yan and Huang. …… Even if I die, I am a sinner, a sinner in the entire Chinese land and Chinese civilization,...... And Confucianism or the Confucian family, is the key to the survival of the world, although I have a view on the Confucian family in the past dynasties to be the Yan Shenggong, but I also have to say that the next dynasty to seal the Confucian family as the Yan Shenggong, it means that the world is still continuing, no matter who is the emperor, I have to continue my Chinese civilization, and my descendants of Yan and Huang still have a space to survive, so the Confucian family at this point, although I don't like it, but I still support it......" Yang Reform said lightly, although he didn't like the Confucian family, and he despised Confucianism, but he also had to say, Confucianism has a strong vitality in the continuation of civilization, in the long river of history, only the energy of Chinese civilization has a long history, continuous, Confucianism has also played a lot of roles, although I don't like it, but I have to admit that it is useful.

Kong Yinzhi listened to what the emperor said, tears flowed from his eyes, and there was finally some color in his eyes.

"Your Majesty......, Your Majesty, ......" Kong Yinzhi shed tears and couldn't cry.

"Don't cry, this is what I say in my heart, although I don't like the Confucian family's approach, but if there is a day, I will still let the Confucian family do it according to the position of the Confucian family, and I will not ask the Confucian family to accompany my Ming funeral, and the continuation of my Chinese people is the biggest thing." Yang Gengai sighed and said lightly.

"Your Majesty......, woo woo woo ......" Kong Yinzhi's tears fell to the ground along the cry.

"Today, I brought Yan Shenggong and analyzed what I said in my heart, just to remove this knot in my heart." Yang said with a sigh.

"Your Majesty......" Kong Yinzhi was still in tears, crying silently.

"The dispute over tax payment is not for the sake of profit, but for the sake of the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, or even hundreds of years, so to speak, for the people of the world,...... If it was just for some sī and power, for some money, why did I make such a big fuss? It can be said that it doesn't take half an effort to make some money with my means of making money, but now I have spent so much effort to set off a dispute over paying taxes, why bother? ......" Yang Reform's eyes looked into the distance.

“…… As I said just now, although I hope that the Confucian family can continue the Yan Shenggong, doesn't Yan Shenggong feel that from the Han and Tang dynasties to the current Song and Ming dynasties, this history has not been going in circles? Continued from generation to generation, although my Chinese civilization has a long history, but I have to say that I am resting on my laurels, I want to go on in China, but not necessarily others will follow me Huaxia so all the time to go on, I hope to break this strange circle, break this fate, as for why, the Qing family looks at the "Kanyu Wanguo Quantu", you should understand my mood, I can die in the country, but I don't want to die in the species, many things, I have to prepare in advance, especially when it comes to the death of the world, the death of the species, the death of the country, I can afford it, but I can't afford to die, and neither the Qing family, the Confucian family, nor the Confucianists can afford ......it," Yang continued.

“…… The Qing family may think that I am too pessimistic, but the fact is that the Yi people drove the sea boat, breaking the waves for tens of thousands of miles to my Ming Dynasty, bringing not only more powerful astronomy, calendar, arithmetic, but also more powerful musket cannon machinery. I also knew that Yan Shenggong looked down on everything except Confucianism, but if he didn't eat the grain grown by the peasants, the silk peeled out of the silkworm cocoon, the utensils made by the craftsmen, and the materials sold by the merchants, would this person still be alive? This Confucianism is separated, that is, people need, people not only need the food grown by farmers, but also need farmers, craftsmen make clothes, utensils, also need merchants to traffic back and forth, but also need soldiers to resist the enemy, protect the family and defend the country, these are all human needs, together, is Confucianism, Confucianism is not only a tool to maintain imperial power, nor is it just a tool to continue civilization, Confucianism, should be in line with his original intention...... "Yang Reform still said. ,

Kong Yinzhi lowered his head, unable to see any changes, and there still seemed to be no look in his eyes.

“…… I have too many words, that's it, let's stop this topic, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, just say it......" Yang Gengai sighed. looked at Kong Yinzhi, there seemed to be no movement, thought about the process of today's conversation, and knew that he had done almost everything in this regard, if he continued this topic, Kong Yinzhi was afraid that he would not have to do anything else except commit suicide.

“…… If I remember correctly, the Kong family has never produced a saint since the Confucian saint came out, right? With some sadness, Yang Reform said lightly, changing the topic and avoiding the topic just now.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is only one Confucian saint in the Kong family, and there are no other saints." When Kong Yinzhi heard this question, he seemed to have some regained his senses, and quickly answered.

"What about Yasang? Are there any other sub-saints? Yang Reform asked again, looking at Kong Yinzhi's eyes with a little brightness, Yang Reform was a lot more relieved, otherwise, just saying that kind of thing, if Kong Yinzhi was not scared to death, it would also drive Kong Yinzhi crazy.

"Back to Your Majesty, no." Kong Yinzhi's eyes flashed a few times, isn't Yasheng Mencius? There is only one sub-sage, naturally there are no other sub-sages, let alone the sub-sage of the Confucian family.

"Oh, what about the sages? Are there other sages in the Kong family? Yang asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, Kong Rong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Kong Wenju ......" Regarding the glory of his ancestors, Kong Yinzhi answered very neatly, although there was still a lot of brilliance in his eyes.

"Oh, what about the others? Is there no more? Yang asked insisted.

"Back to Your Majesty, it seems that there is no more." Kong Yinzhi replied. I really can't think of the Kong family and those sages.

"Alas......, as I expected, the Kong family rested on its laurels! If the Confucian family had the spirit to go in, there would not be a saint or even a ......sage in one or two thousand years," Yang Reform said regretfully.

"Your Majesty......" Kong Yinzhi

Don't cry, there are tears on his face, hearing the emperor comment on his Kong family, although he wants to fight, his mind is blank, and he doesn't know how to argue, the emperor's words seem to be right.

"Alas......, it seems that I am not wrong, Confucianism is complacent, and the Confucian family is the same!" Yang Reform said deliberately, just said, and looked at Kong Yinzhi, Kong Yinzhi at this time

After coming back to his senses, maybe he was too aggressive, this guy almost became an "idiot", but now looking at his appearance, it seems to be a lot better.

"I summoned Yan Shenggong today, just to say this heartfelt words, to say something heart-wrenching, I feel that only by opening up this heart, can I untie my heart knot with the Confucian family, the words are a little too jī, please don't take the Qing family to heart......" Yang Reform turned his head and comforted Kong Yinzhi again.

"The minister is ashamed and does not dare to be, the minister has no talent for Anbang, and has no ability to fix the country, so he can only rely on the shadow of his ancestors to live a muddy life, it is really shameless, ashamed, ashamed, how dare you blame Your Majesty." Kong Yinzhi seems to have come back to his senses, and his speech has begun to be sharp, and his appearance has a little bit like when he first came.

"Actually, I summoned the Qing family today, I want to get the help of the Qing family, the Qing family is the descendant of the Yan Shenggong, the descendant of the Confucian saint, I hope that in the Confucian dispute, I can get the help of the Qing family, there is a breakthrough in this area, I think, it couldn't be better, today's Confucian dispute, in fact, is also linked to the tax dispute, as I just said, what do people need? It is necessary for farmers to grow food, to weave objects from farmers and craftsmen, to sell goods for merchants, to communicate with each other, to defend against foreign humiliation, to be safe, to be treated, to be supported when they are old. Without these, the world will perish, why does Confucianism look down on these? I hope that today's Confucianism can make some improvements, I said it more bluntly, I hope the Qing family can understand...... "Yang Gai changed his sharp tone just now, and said it in harmony with Kong Yinzhi.

"Your Majesty, how can you take on this important task, it is not enough to complete this matter......" Kong Yinzhi thought about it for a while, and then refused.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, the Qing family alone is indeed not enough to do this, but if I help, the Qing family will have to do this, there is almost no difficulty, I dare not say that I will create another saint, that it is still possible to create another sage, if the Qing family's enlightenment is high, Yasheng is not without a ,......" Yang Reform interrupted Kong Yinzhi's words and said. ,

Kong Yinzhi looked a little demented and became demented again.

“…… Qing family look at the sun in the sky......" Yang Gai pointed upward. The sunlight passed through the shade of the trees, basked into the gazebo, and shone on Kong Yinzhi's body. Kong Yinzhi looked up along the sun, his eyes were dazzling, and he quickly shrank his head, his eyes were blank, his mind was blank, and he was still kneeling there.

“…… It's not that I'm talking big, if there is enough time, even if it's the sun, moon and stars, I can crush it to pieces, not to mention a mere saint, it's not difficult for me to create a saint......" Yang Gengai said with some mystery.

Originally, Kong Yinzhi, who had just gotten better and returned to some gods, was now blank again, and even the stars were crushed? ...... this, Kong Yinzhi couldn't think anymore.

“…… This is by no means my big words, of course, the premise is to give me enough time......" Yang said mysteriously, seeing Kong Yinzhi looking up at the sun......

“…… I believe that the Qing family should also know, never empty words, since the promise, naturally can be fulfilled, said to crush the sun, moon and stars, this Qing family may feel too surprised, unlikely, I really can't prove it to the Qing family for the time being, however, Shuo made a saint, I can show it to the Qing family, the Qing family has seen how I made a saint, I believe that the Qing family should believe in my ability......" Yang Reform said domineeringly, with momentum to crush Kong Yinzhi to death, Kong Yinzhi was already kneeling on the ground, looking at the sun like an idiot, and was shocked by the emperor's domineering words, and his mind was completely blank.

“…… I still want to affirm that no matter what, I have no ill will towards Confucianism, no ill will towards the Confucian family, and no malice towards the Qing family, no matter whether I will die in the future, or the Ming dynasty will die in the future, I will not blame the Qing family, nor will I blame the Confucian family, let alone Confucianism, the Qing family will follow the path that should be taken, I will only thank the Confucian family, Confucianism does have a unique side in continuing civilization, I do not want to die in the country, but I do not want to die in the world......, although I have some views on the Qing family, but, since today, I really hope that the Confucian family can help me, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations, I have always appreciated this sentence, and I hope that the Confucian family can help me for the sake of fighting for the people of the world, and help me ......" Yang Gai lowered his posture and talked to Kong Yinzhi.......

At this time, Kong Yinzhi was not only blank in his mind, but also mixed tastes, this life

It was ups and downs, and this short half an hour was longer than what he had experienced in half his life.

Kong Yinzhi was prostrate on the ground, not knowing whether to cry, laugh, or shout.

"If you want to help me, after seeing my means, you can interpret it in the new interpretation of Confucianism, I naturally know the mind of the Qing family, if the Qing family can help me, I say that everything naturally counts, although I have a new understanding of Confucianism, but I guarantee that Confucianism is still the foundation of governing the country; If the Qing family doesn't plan to help me, I won't blame the Qing family, everything in the Kong family is as usual, and I won't have any bad plans for the Kong family, I still have this belly, the Qing family can keep in mind my words today, I have always been a talker...... "Yang Gengai saw that everything that should be said today was almost done, so he planned to let Kong Yinzhi go back.

"Obey the order!" Kong Yinzhi's mind was blank, and he replied mechanically, and his posture of prostrate on the ground finally changed.

“…… Oh, I remembered, there is one more thing, I want to say, although Han Yi, Cao Yubian and I are fighting fiercely, as if it is not good for me, but I also say here, even if I win them, I don't plan to do anything to them, the court needs them to come out to oppose it, there can't be only one voice, the Qing family should be regarded as a witness......" Yang Reform said again, although Han Yi and Cao Yubian are deliberately opposing themselves and finding fault with themselves, but as an emperor, there must be some opposing voices, this, Yang Reform is very clear that the monolithic court will only harm himself, and he will tell Kong Yinzhi and Cao Yubian to them.

"Your Majesty's righteousness, the minister understands, the minister will write down what His Majesty said today, and the minister will leave......" Kong Yinzhi was just about to get up, when he heard the emperor speak, he hurriedly crawled up, and promised the emperor's words, before he got up, he shook a few times, as if he had been kneeling for too long, and his feet were a little soft.

Looking at Kong Yinzhi who was far away, he was a little staggering, and Yang Reform was a little proud, he could suppress a Yan Shenggong to such a point, and he could be regarded as a rare emperor, I just hope that this guy can open up and stand on his side, this guy's identity is too appropriate to do this, if he doesn't participate, then he can only find a substitute, such as Liu Zongzhou, although the effect is poor, but it can still be used.
