What happened in Qufu City spread outward, and although the transmission speed was slow, it still reached Jining Prefecture a few days later.

On the bank of the canal outside Jining, a large camp was set up around the post station, which was the place where the "emperor" was stationed, but now the emperor was not in Jining at all, and there were only thousands of soldiers and horses and dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in the camp, guarding the honor guard when the emperor went out on patrol.

In the camp, Wen Tiren, the general manager of the march, was sighing for a long time, feeling extremely depressed.

The emperor led the army to Jinan, to deal with the affairs of King De, Wen Tiren was ordered to lead a large army to Jining to wait, who knew that just two days after arriving in Jining, Pingbei Marquis Zhang Shize suddenly left with thousands of soldiers and horses, saying that he was idle and idle, and wanted to go to the mountains in the east to suppress bandits, Wen Tiren was desperate to intercept, but he couldn't stop it at all. He, the general manager of the marching army, even if he has the status of a cabinet scholar, cannot manage a military meritorious.

Where is the bandits, it is actually to deal with the Holy Father of Yan!

When he heard the news from Qufu, Wen Tiren was simply stunned.

Yan Shenggong, the direct descendant of the Holy Master, Zhang Shize dared to kill in the Yan Sheng Gong Mansion, and dared to imprison Yan Sheng Gong and all the officials below, it was crazy!

This Zhang Shize relied on his identity as the prince of the country, relied on his good relationship with the emperor, and relied on the fact that he had made some military achievements, so unscrupulous, he dared to make a move on the Yansheng Gongfu, which is respected by all scholars in the world.

If it reaches the imperial court, I don't know how big a wave it will be, and I'm afraid that all the scholars in the world will rise up and attack.

Hearing that Yan Shenggong was imprisoned as soon as possible, Wen Tiren wanted to go to Qufu in person to stop Zhang Shize from messing around. No matter what, Zhang Shize is also the emperor's confidant, and he is the emperor's party, everyone protects the emperor's southern tour together, Zhang Shize is unlucky, maybe he will also be implicated.

However, soon Wen Tiren calmed down, and he suddenly realized that although Zhang Shize usually does things unscrupulously, he is not stupid, how can he not know the status of Yansheng Mansion in the Ming Dynasty and the status in the minds of scholars in the world?

Zhang Shize did this, was he really under the emperor's secret edict? Could it be that the emperor wants to deal with the Kong family?

Think about the two clansmen's complaint in Dezhou, there is one item in the complaint, King De quietly gave hundreds of thousands of acres of royal land to the Yansheng Mansion, Wen Tiren suddenly understood, that is, the emperor wants to do something to the Yansheng Mansion!

Yansheng Mansion has a large number of fields, cross-provincial and even provinces, Yansheng Mansion has hundreds of thousands of hired serfs, Yansheng Mansion is wanton, greedy and rape, enslaved and oppressed the peasant people, many people know this, Wen Tiren also knows, but he has never cared.

Because the gentry of the world are like this, they all annex a large amount of land, and they all oppress and bully the people, otherwise how can they accumulate wealth? The behavior of the Yansheng Mansion was not much different from that of the other gentry.

However, now, Wen Tiren understands that in the eyes of the emperor, owning a large amount of land is the original sin, Yan Shenggong occupies millions of acres of land, never pays taxes, and secretly accepts more than 200,000 acres of Wang Tian, which has touched the emperor's bottom line, which has provoked the emperor's thunderous anger.

After all, for the emperor, the gentry in the world occupy more fields, the more fields that do not pay taxes, and the less fields that pay taxes to the imperial court, the court income naturally plummets, which the emperor cannot tolerate. That's why there was a wanton killing of gentry in northern Shaanxi, and there was a way to deal with the current Yansheng Mansion.

As a member of the cabinet, Wen Tiren naturally knew that the emperor was doing the right thing, but Your Majesty, which gentry you can't raid, why do you have to move the Holy Prince's Mansion?

The historical pen is like a knife, and the knife is in the hands of the readers, but the readers all recognize Confucius as their first teacher, so the emperors of the past dynasties, even if they hate the Yansheng Mansion, are also tolerant, for their own reputation, for their own posthumous name.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you move the Holy Father, aren't you afraid of leaving a bad name in history?

No, I have to write a note to Your Majesty and advise Your Majesty to stop dealing with the Holy Duke of Yan!

Wen Tiren's expression was firm, and he quickly wrote the exhortation, and ordered someone to send it to Jinan immediately.

......

Seeing Wen Tiren's heartfelt writing, Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, and put the music aside, he didn't care about any notoriety left in history. What he has to do is to offend the gentry of the world, and he has left a bad reputation in history, and he cares about what Yan Shenggong does.

Although Jinan is farther away from Qufu, Zhu Youzhen got the news much faster than Wen Tiren, because everything Zhang Shize did, someone would be sent to Jinan by Pegasus.

"Look at it, this is the Yan Shenggong of the Ming Dynasty, who has done all these evil things, if Confucius knew about it, would he be so angry that he would jump out of the coffin?" Zhu Youzhen looked at the interrogation confession sent from Qufu and said to Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou sighed deeply, to be honest, he didn't approve of dealing with the Yansheng Mansion either, but he also knew that if he carried out reforms in Shandong, he would not be able to avoid the Yansheng Mansion at all, because the Yansheng Mansion was the largest gentry and the largest landlord in Shandong.

"What Yan Shenggong did was indeed excessive, but after all, he is a direct descendant of the saint, and if he doesn't handle it properly, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble." Hong Chengchou reminded.

As for where the trouble comes from, needless to say, we all know that it is nothing more than the court and the world's scholars.

Zhu Youzhen disagreed: "The descendants of Confucius are not only Kong Yinzhi, in my opinion, as long as the surname Kong can succeed Yan Shenggong." It's just a sacrifice to Confucius, who does it differently? In the future, in my Ming Dynasty, the prince will also be guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention him Kong Yinzhi? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Youzhen decided to cut through the mess quickly and deal with the affairs of the Yansheng Mansion first, so as not to give those officials in the imperial court time to react.

Then he said: "Hong Qing, you write an edict for me, explaining the many sins committed by Kong Yinzhi and the Yansheng Mansion, and issuing an edict to remove Kong Yinzhi from the title of Yansheng Duke." Yansheng Gongfu relied on the power of Confucius to sacrifice horizontally and domineering, Qufu County is like a country in the country, the people of Qufu are miserable, the edict from now on, no longer set up the title of Yansheng Duke, and set up the post of sacrificial official, specifically responsible for sacrificing the holy ancestors, and the official position is set as the three products, which are still held by the children of the Confucian family. The Qufu County Order was no longer held by the children of the Confucian family, but was appointed by the imperial court.

The Yansheng Mansion was renamed the Confucian Mansion, and the three halls and six halls in the Confucian Mansion were all cancelled. Relying on its power, the Yansheng Mansion maliciously annexed fields, amounting to nearly 2 million mu, across the land of five provinces, and passed on the edict that all fields were confiscated and changed to official land, leaving only 1,000 acres of land for the Confucian Mansion near Qufu to maintain the expenses of the Confucian Mansion.

Since Kong Yinzhi and the children of the Kong family, all those who have committed crimes will be questioned according to the law after ascertaining the evidence, and they will not be forgiven! ”

A series of orders came out of Zhu Youzhen's mouth, and Hong Chengchou sighed softly, he knew that from now on, the Yansheng Mansion was over.
