The Holy Mansion.

Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi stood in front of his ancestral hall in a green cloth and white shirt.

And enshrined in the center of his Confucian ancestral hall is the dragon throne of Emperor Yongchang of Dashun.

That is, Li Zicheng's tablet before his death.

Kong Yinzhi personally stepped forward to wipe it, not daring to let this tablet be stained with dust.

At the same time, Kong Yinzhi asked again: Did you get the "Initial Entry Table" written by Sun Zhiqi and Master Sun? ”

"Master, I've already brought it, put it behind the tablet."

The housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion hurriedly ran to Kong Yinzhi and personally presented the "First Entry Table" after the tablet to Kong Yinzhi.

But Kong Yinzhi slapped the butler's outstretched hand: "Cheap slave, I don't understand the rules, this kind of expression dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor of Dashun is also something you can touch, my lord, I will come by myself, you yourself have committed the crime of disrespect to His Majesty the Emperor of Dashun, and you will go and get thirty sticks later!" ”

The housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of himself and agreed.

Kong Yinzhi personally invited the expression to come, wiped and wiped, rubbed and rubbed, and carefully read the content, but couldn't help frowning: "The writing is not sincere enough, I ordered someone to change it immediately, and re-transcribe it, to write that the Emperor Yongchang of Dashun is the same as the sun and the moon of heaven and earth!" ”

The housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion hurriedly wrapped his lowly hands in his sleeves, and held the text with his brocade sleeves to ask the Qing guest minister in the mansion to make revisions.

And Kong Yinzhi called his nephew Kong Xingda here and ordered: "The spiritual seat of the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty will be hidden first, and the expression praising the regent of Jiannu will also be hidden first, but don't burn it, the world still doesn't know who is in charge, and it will be of great use in the future." ”

Saying that, Kong Yinzhi saw that his nephew Kong Xingda was still wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, and couldn't help yelling: "Don't take it off quickly!" I burned the python costumes, bullfighting costumes and regular clothes given by Chongzhen in the house. ”

"Uncle, this may not be good, after all, this Chongzhen is not dead, didn't you just say that who is in charge in this world has not yet been decided?"

Kong Xingda asked a little puzzled.

Kong Yinzhi snorted: "The thieves have all hit Shandong, does he Chongzhen still have hope, this world is either Li Zicheng's, or the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai, or Wu Sangui's, it can't be Chongzhen's, go and burn it quickly, let the Dashun Army see the sincerity of our Confucian family." ”

When Kong Yinzhi said this, Kong Xingda had no choice but to comply.

At this time, Kong Yinzhi saw Kong Zhenyu of Qufu Zhixian running eagerly: "General Da Shuntian has arrived at the official reception pavilion in Qufu County, what about my Yan Shenggong, why don't you hurry up and kneel to greet you!" ”

Kong Yinzhi hurriedly panicked: "Hurry, hurry, has the text been corrected, submit it quickly!" ”

……

Zhu Youzhen appeared outside Qufu City with hundreds of civil and military officials.

However, at this time, the city gate of Qufu City was closed.

Although Li Mingrui, the governor of Huaiyang, has decided to unswervingly follow His Majesty Zhu Youzhen.

But as a Confucian scholar who has read Confucian books for decades, Li Mingrui is also sure that it is impossible for Confucius to betray the lord and rebel against the king.

Therefore, seeing that the gate of Qufu was closed, Li Mingrui spoke first: "Your Majesty, it seems that this Qufu Zhixian is different from Zou Yingyong, the prefect of Yanzhou, and we have all arrived here, and we have not yet opened the city gate to surrender. ”

"Yes, this Qufu Zhixian Kong Zhenyu is worthy of being a descendant of a saint, and there are still some behaviors, Your Majesty, it is not that Weichen is offended, in the eyes of Weichen, Yan Shenggong is only afraid that he is also loyal and commendable."

Because of the matter of Confucius, Zhu Youzhen punished Shi Kefa, so the officials did not dare to speak at will, and now seeing that Kong Zhenyu of Qufu Zhixian County closed the gate of Qufu City Gate, Chen Chunde, the left deputy capital imperial history, had some confidence, and saw that Li Mingrui had opened his mouth, so he also echoed.

Shi Kefa has changed from a second-grade civil official supplement uniform to a flying fish suit, wearing a three-mountain minister hat.

Although he has been depressed and lost because he has lost his descendants for more than ten days, his physical pain has been reduced a lot, but the pain in his heart has not been reduced by half.

But now, seeing that Kong Zhenyu, the prefect of Qufu, did not learn from Zou Yingyong, the prefect of Yanzhou, he directly opened the city and surrendered.

Shi Kefa finally had some psychological comfort.

The position of Qufu Zhixian has always been hereditary from the Confucian family, so this Kong Zhenyu can represent a certain political trend of the Confucian family.

Now that Kong Zhenyu did not open the city and surrendered, Shi Kefa thought that his opinion and that the opinions of the officials were correct.

The Kong family did not disgrace Rulin!

"From the minister's point of view, I'm afraid that the Holy Father of Yan has hanged himself in front of the statue of the Holy Ancestor at this time, Your Majesty, you pretend to be a thief to attack, I don't know how many people in the Confucian Sect have been martyred for the thief to trap Qufu."

Shi Kefa couldn't help but say, and his tone still did not reduce his complaint against Emperor Zhu Youzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen didn't bother with Shi Kefa at this time, he just smiled slightly.

The group of civil officials in front of them believe in Confucian ethics, and even have a deep obsession, to the point where they can sacrifice their lives, so they naively think that the Confucian family, as the representative of Confucianism, should be loyal to the country with their ideals.

But Zhu Youzhen didn't know how this group of civil officials would react when they saw the collapse of the monument of the ideal they had always believed in.

Really.

In Shi Kefa's words just fell.

The ministers all said that Kong Zhenyu of Qufu Zhixian was worthy of being a descendant of Confucius, at least not when Kaicheng surrendered.

The city gate of Qufu County suddenly opened!

Although Kong Zhenyu, the magistrate of Qufu, wore the official robe of the magistrate, he did not wear a black veil on his head, but tied his hands and ran to Zhu Youzhen with a cadre of county officials and squires.

Plop.

Qufu Kong Zhenyu knelt in front of Zhu Youzhen: "Kong Zhenyu, the sixty-second generation grandson of the former Ming Qufu Zhixian and Confucius, knocked to see the general of the right battalion of Dashun, and Zhang Zhangxiang of the former Ming Qufu County refused to return to obedience, and wanted to resist Wang Shi, and the contemptible people have designed to kill him, and now he has dedicated his head!" ”

Kong Zhenyu lifted the box containing the head of the county Cheng Zhang Zhangxiang.

But Kong Zhenyu found that he had been raised for a long time and no one answered.

Zhu Youzhen didn't respond, he rode on his horse and looked left and right, watching the reactions of these ministers.

Huaiyang Governor Li Mingrui stood in place blankly, his expression already stiffened.

Chen Chunde, the left deputy capital imperial history, widened his eyes even more, as if he didn't believe what was happening in front of him.

Jin Xuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, couldn't help but hold his head and began to roar in pain.

Shi Kefa squeezed out an expression that was more ugly than crying, looking around for a thicker tree, so he could directly knock himself to death.

"Wait, maybe it's just Kong Zhenyu who is unfaithful, maybe Yan Shenggong won't be like this."

Shen Jiayun of Taifu Temple said a word at this time, which made the ministers nod as if they had been amnestied.

Huaiyang Governor Li Mingrui and others breathed a sigh of relief, and they all thought to themselves, this is indeed the case, although Kong Zhenyu is a descendant of Kong Shengren, but he is not Yan Shenggong himself, the Kong family is so big, it is normal to have one or two scum.

Zhu Youzhen smiled coldly, his group of officials really trusted the Kong family enough, and even their trust level had surpassed that of his own king.
