Chapter 34: The thief who broke into Qufu
Zhu Yang returned to the small courtyard with a broom with a depressed face, and secretly scolded Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao for being unkind.
It's all so familiar, and even let him do this job.
But scolding is scolding, unhappy is unhappy, but you have to continue to work, who made Zhu Yuanzhang the emperor? If Zhu Yuanzhang was not the emperor, Zhu Yang would definitely be able to break his dog's head.
……
Just when Zhu Yang accepted his fate, an eagle falcon acting as a messenger in the capital fluttered its wings and flew towards the north.
At the same time, a decree came from the DPRK and China: Shen Wei, the secretary of the military department, was arrested and imprisoned for forming a party for personal gain and wantonly destroying the government and security system; In addition, there are some squires and imperial historians who were imprisoned with Shen Wei.
Jinyi Wei also went out of the nest, and even many people rode out of the capital.
It is said that some of the officials who were imprisoned confessed that there were Hu Weiyong's associates in the locality.
"Our majesty is really ruthless!" Zhu Yang sighed after reading the imperial court newspaper sent by Jiang Xuan.
In fact, what is even worse is Hu Weiyong, the last prime minister in history, who is still conscientious as Zhu Yuanzhang's tool even after his death.
[Zhu Yuanzhang: Let's see that you are unhappy, you are Hu Weiyong's fellow party.
Official: No, I'm not!
Zhu Yuanzhang: Have you met Hu Weiyong? Have you spoken to him? Are you related to him? Have you met with the officials who were executed? Have you spoken to them?
Officials:......
Zhu Yuanzhang: Come on, there is a fellow Hu Weiyong here, dragged out and beheaded! 】
……
In addition to sighing, Zhu Yang only sighed.
These people all wanted to kill him in the morning, and since they did it, they should bear the corresponding price.
Zhu Yang has not yet been a virgin to the point of sparing the person who wants his own life.
As for those who are involved, who is innocent, Zhu Yang is powerless to screen, and it has nothing to do with Zhu Yang.
……
Qufu, the Confucian family's own land, everything here belongs to the Kong family, and even the county order is held by the Kong family.
After Zhu Yuanzhang set the world, he did not seal Confucius, but issued an edict.
The edict is very simple, just two lines:
1. The Spring and Autumn Liberation of the Confucian Temple stopped in Qufu;
Second, the world does not have to be worshipped.
Zhu Yuanzhang means that in the future, the sacrifice of Confucius will be in Qufu, and it is good to sacrifice it yourself, so why should you go to other places.
This treatment is very different from that of the previous dynasty.
You must know that starting from Song Zhenzong, Confucius was not only crowned the Holy Duke of Yan, but also crowned the "Most Holy Wenxuan King", and the Western Xia gave Confucius the posthumous title of "Emperor Wenxuan", and Yuan Chengzong of the Yuan Dynasty named Confucius as the "Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan King".
And when it came to Zhu Yuanzhang, there was nothing except Yan Shenggong.
Even the most important rituals can only be carried out in Qufu.
This made the Kong family very dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, dukes and princes are different in every way.
In order to express dissatisfaction, the Confucius tablet enshrined in the Confucian ancestral hall is not written on Yan Shenggong, but the Great Yuan Dacheng Holy Wenxuan King.
The name of this generation of Yan Sheng Gong is Kong Ne, the fifty-sixth grandson of Confucius, who inherited Yan Sheng Gong in the seventeenth year of Hongwu (1384).
At this time, Kong Ne had just gone out, and today a literati asked him to go out on an outing, and by the way, there were a few beauties to accompany him.
"Beauty?" Kong Ne pursed his lips, the entire Qufu belongs to his Kong family, which beauty has he not seen? Which beauty he hasn't touched?
Even now, there are twins in his room, crying naked.
The twins were the day before yesterday, and he has been communicating with the twins in a friendly manner for the past few days, reading sage books and chatting about the principles of heaven and earth.
Except for a little loss of kidneys, everything else is fine.
No one dared to come out and make irresponsible remarks.
Qufu is nominally the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, it is his Confucian family who has the final say, and there is nothing more than this in China.
In addition, the Confucian family has always represented Confucianism, and if anyone dares to speak ill of him, it is to speak ill of the Confucian family, that is, to speak ill of the Holy Father, that is to insult Confucius, to blaspheme Confucianism, and to be the enemy of the world's scholars.
It is precisely because of this that the people of Qufu know that Kong Ne is just a guy who is ruined by the outside of gold, but no one dares to say it, or even report it, and they don't even dare to flee from Qufu.
Kong Ne glanced at the twins in the room before leaving, licked his lips, and suddenly felt a little bored: "Kong San, you go and deal with those twins, crying is annoying!" ”
"Yes!" Kong San was a little excited, he had helped Kong Ne deal with a lot of women over the years, and he had also tasted a lot by the way.
He decided to keep the twins at home first and dispose of them when he got tired of playing.
"Lord Wang, do you want a new one?" Kong San asked.
Because the ancestral hall of the Confucian family is dedicated to the "King of Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan", in the Confucian family, all the servants will call Kong Ne the prince.
"It's all young during this time, it's boring, you go find someone who is older, it's better to take the initiative!" Kong Ne patted Kong San's shoulder and said, "After the matter is completed, this king will reward you with fifty taels of silver!" ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!" Kong San was even more excited.
He is most willing to do this job, with money to take, and women to play, it is simply perfect.
……
In the evening, Conne returned to his bedroom, full of wine, where a woman was still sitting quietly.
The woman was close to forty years old, and she was a widow in the next county, and Kong San liked it very much, so he spent twenty-five taels of silver to deceive her.
Conne was so drunk that his eyes were so glazed that he could not see the woman's face clearly.
Kong Ne rubbed his eyes desperately a few times, but he still couldn't see clearly.
Conne gave up and threw the woman down.
"Ah......h
"There are thieves ......"
"Run......"
The people who broke into the Confucian Mansion did not say a word, and killed people when they saw them.
Screams and warnings rang out one after another, and more people began to run out of the door.
"Who are you, dare to break into the Holy Prince's Mansion at night, you are tired of being crooked!" Conne shouted.
"Don't panic, we're good people!" The thief walked up to Kong Ne with a smile and shook his knife, "I didn't expect you to have this ability as a scholar, do you want to go to the Qinglou with me, there are a lot of girls who can't be satisfied, your ability will definitely be liked by those girls!" ”
"Presumptuous, my generation is a scholar, how can I do what I have done, and you leave quickly, or this king will ask Your Majesty to slaughter you and others?" Kong Ne said with the strength of the wine in a righteous manner.
"This king? Why haven't I heard when Your Majesty named you the prince? The man in black wondered.
"Hmph, the previous dynasty has already been sealed, and His Majesty will naturally not lag behind today!" Kong Ne was proud, he believed that Zhu Yuanzhang would learn from those emperors of the previous dynasty sooner or later and give him this prince.
"Oh, the front court!" The man in black gave him a deep look, and then put his hand on Kong Ne's neck, using a little force.
The skin was torn, and blood was dripping down the blade.
Cold, warm, and painful, all kinds of sensations made Conne wake up instantly.
The sober Kong Ne no longer had arrogance, he saw the knife on his neck, and it wilted instantly, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Uncle spare your life!" ”
"Call me uncle again now? You're not the king anymore? The man in black laughed.
"No...... No...... I am not a king, I am the Lord of Yan...... Bah...... I'm just a reader......" Conne said with a slight stammer.
"Oh? No wonder, you readers! The man in black looked at the widow who was still lying on the bed, "Then you go on, we don't kill people but seek money!" ”
After saying that, the man in black slashed at Kong Ne's neck with a hand knife.
"Boss, what to do now!" At this moment, another man in black ran in, holding the tablet of "Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan King" in his hand.
"Keep it, and then hang this Yan Shenggong and this widow at the gate of Qufu City, and tie up the patriarch of the Kong clan as well, doesn't he like money, stuff the copper coin into his mouth, and know that he can't eat it!" The man in black said.
"Yes!"
"Hide the filth! This Kong family is nothing more than that! The man in black took one last look at this huge Confucian Mansion, and he suddenly felt that it was so dirty, and there was no sage at all.
