Ren Xing was speechless, and the main culprit and accomplices were all dead!

Kong Wenshao's breaking through the sky is a crime of negligence, and using this crime to severely punish the Holy Father?

I'm afraid that all the scholars in the world will have to quarrel with the sky, don't think that the emperor has a butcher's knife in his hand, he can bluff the people of the world, the eloquent Hongwu Emperor because Enke is all southern students, and in the end he was scorched, and finally had to make a north-south list.

Ren Xing still remembers that His Majesty once said, don't think that everyone in this world is stupid, and don't think that the emperor is high up and can do whatever he wants.

In fact, the emperor can punish officials without scruples, but it is absolutely impossible to kill the minister at will.

After the officials were polluted by the big dye vat of officialdom, they may have long forgotten their original intentions, they govern the country in their chests, and the belief in the world has been sharpened in the officialdom, but the scholars are different.

Compared with the officials, there are several times more people in the world, they read the sage books every day, influenced by the sage concept, and there is blood and faith in the chest, they think of the court for Tian Shelang, twilight on the Tianzi Hall, thinking that one day after they stand in the court, they will be able to sweep away the demonic atmosphere, reform the maladministration, and be the dynasty's Zhongxing minister!

The filth of officialdom has not yet eroded the only remaining pure land in their hearts, so they will fight for their ideas and beliefs, and they will not hesitate to throw their heads and spill their blood!

The emperor can shed a river of blood in the officialdom, but can he kill the world's scholars?

That is impossible, so it represents the lineage of Yan Shenggong inherited by the Holy Ancestors, and its existence is actually to some extent the belief of Confucianism in the world.

If you want to move the Prophet without killing Confucianism or weakening the influence of Confucianism to the extreme, even the royal family is likely to suffer unbearable backlash.

This is definitely not alarmist, you must know that the line of Yan Shenggong still existed until the fall of the last feudal dynasty, the Manchu Dynasty, and you must know that the Republic of China at that time actually had no soil for the survival of Confucianism!

Ren Xing understood the meaning of the Son of Heaven very well, and the beating and deterrence should not only make the Yan Shenggong and his family feel pain, but also not hurt the foundation of the Confucian family, and then cause the hostility of the world's scholars to the royal family.

This is not that the emperor looks forward and backward, let alone that Zhu Houwei is weak, but considers the pros and cons from the perspective of the world.

"Why is it so, why is it so, Your Majesty has already made up your mind on this matter, the Ma family in Jinan, for the rich and unkind, is extremely vicious, and regards human life like a mustard, is the culprit of this railway incident, and should be punished!

The Jining government, for the incompetence of the officials, shirked the blame, the corpse was vegetarian, ignoring the grievances of the people, and should be expelled!

As for the Confucian Mansion...... Oracle! ”

Kong Wenshao's body suddenly tightened, and he immediately knelt down, slightly nervous.

"The Confucian Mansion built the Jinan-Qufu Railway, which was originally a good deed for the benefit of the country and the people, but he treated the laborers harshly, did not know how to be compassionate, and eventually harmed people's lives.

Kong Wenshao got up, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty wants to be punished, I don't know how to punish it?"

Ren Xing smiled: "I don't know how much Yan Shenggong thinks he should be punished?"

Kong Wenshao said with a straight face: "The rain, dew and thunder are all heaven's graces, how dare Kong say anything."

Ren Xing said: "The construction of the Jinan Railway, the case of labor death is extremely bad, Your Majesty said, if this case is not related to the line of Yan Shenggong, not for the sake of Kong Sheng's face, no matter which nobleman this time, it is inevitable to be demoted!"

Kong Wenshao broke out in a cold sweat......

"But Your Majesty said that Confucianism has been inherited for more than 2,000 years, and it has helped the Dingding Society of the Dynasty a lot, for the sake of the face of the ancestors, and also for the face of Song Renzong, the first benevolent monarch of the ages, it was decided to punish the Confucian family with a small punishment and a big commandment, but it is not an example!"

"Yes, yes, yes, not as an example." Kong Wenshao is most concerned about what kind of heavy punishment now, and now after hearing Ren Xing's words, he is already a little desperate in his heart.

"Yan Shenggong's attitude is good." Ren Xing laughed and said: "Your Majesty's meaning is how to punish heavily, it depends on Yan Shenggong's attitude towards this railway case, if Yan Shenggong is willing to die, then our family will tell Yan Shenggong about the bad deeds of Confucius Mansion over the years, this punishment is naturally the upper limit, but if Yan Shenggong has a correct attitude, he will be punished with the following limit."

Kong Wenshao didn't know whether Ren Xing's words were true or false, but he also secretly said that he was lucky.

"Two hundred thousand taels to five hundred thousand taels." Ren Xing said: "This is the upper and lower limit, Yan Shenggong has a good attitude, so he will be fined 200,000 taels."

Kong Wenshao suddenly felt a pain in his flesh, but he thought about it and took precautions and exchanged more than a dozen lives for 300,000 taels, and he was immediately extremely happy.

200,000 taels is definitely not a small amount for any wealthy family, if Kong Wenshao is allowed to come up and pay 200,000 taels, then he will definitely be very uncomfortable in his heart, and then a series of means such as ripping off, prevarication, and avoiding responsibility will come out, and maybe he will also incite Shilin, spread unfavorable remarks against the royal family, and the means of arrangement, disgusting, and smearing are themselves Confucianism's forte.

But the art of conversation lies in this, first tell you that you will be punished heavily, give Kong Wenshao an uncertain psychological preparation, and then tell him that he was almost demoted, and finally come to the upper and lower limits to take the lowest, so that the goal is achieved, and Kong Wenshao is grateful......

Ren Xing thought about the fact that after the Son of Heaven and him taught him face-to-face, he felt that the Son of Heaven's control of people's hearts seemed to have reached the peak and was in a state of perfection.

"Father-in-law, please take a wide step, Kong has prepared a thin wine, just wait for the father-in-law to enjoy it."

"It's okay, this time our family came to Qufu, not to punish the Kong family, but His Majesty explained one thing for the Kong family to take the lead in doing it, let's talk while drinking."

"Your Majesty has entrusted the Kong family to do things, it is Kong's honor, no matter what happens, Kong has spared no effort after all, father-in-law, please."

"Yan Shenggong, please."

"How dare you, how dare you." Kong Wenshao insisted on letting Ren Xing go ahead and entered the banquet hall.

After three rounds of drinking, Ren Xing said with a smile: "Your Majesty once said that today's Ming is an agricultural society, what is an agricultural society?" To put it simply, the people can only live on the land, they face the loess with their backs to the sky, they work day after day, year after year, they have to pay taxes, and they have to endure the exorbitant taxes imposed by the government and officials.

The common people work hard, but there is no surplus food at home, once they encounter natural disasters, they are ruined, and the people are miserable.

At this time, there are also rich and unkind businessmen who take advantage of disasters to make a fortune, and unscrupulous gentry take advantage of the situation to annex land, Your Majesty hates them deeply, and wants to kill all the people in the world who have lost their conscience, and give the people all over the world a way to live! ”
