On Qufu's side, the Kong family already sensed that something was wrong.

Since Jin Yiwei sent the driving post, after Yan Shenggong entered Beijing, there has been no news out.

Now that the magistrate has lost it again, it is simply incredible.

In the Yansheng Mansion, all ethnic groups of the Confucian family gathered together, and the little grandfather Kong Chengqing sat in the middle, and the atmosphere was very dignified.

Kong Chengqing saw that everyone had arrived, so he said, "There is something important to summon you today, Yan Ziru, you can talk about it!"

Yan Ziru is the Cheng of Qufu County, first agreed, and then said: "Kong Zhi County went to Jining Mansion three days ago, and he has not returned yet, but Jining Mansion said that Kong Zhi County resigned and returned to Qufu on the same day, and he did not dare to slack off, how to deal with it, and asked the government to show it."

Kong Chengqing said, "Let's talk about it, what do you think about this matter?"

In the crowd, someone stood up and said, "I guess people are still in Jining Mansion, why don't you wait a few more days?"

"After all, Jining Mansion is more prosperous than Qufu, maybe you can enjoy it in which fireworks willow lane!"

"This is true, Brother Chengping is romantic, you send someone to take a walk in a few famous local brothels, maybe you will find it."

Hearing that everyone's discussion gradually became unserious, Kong Chengqing's face suddenly sank.

"That's enough!"

That's when everyone realized...... It seems that the topic is a little off-topic, so they all shut up.

"Through what has happened these days, haven't you felt it, it's clear that someone is going to deal with the Kong family!"

Although everyone didn't speak, their faces were all disapproving, because in the Ming Dynasty, who dared to deal with the Kong family?

Even Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was very respectful to the Kong family, even to the extent of taking the lead in holding stinky feet.

This world is the world of the Zhu family, but it is also the emperor and the scholars who rule together, if you leave thousands of scholars, you can still rule the world, cure a fart!

Therefore, as the head of the world's scholars and the descendants of the saints, the Confucian family has never worried about someone dealing with them.

Even in the Song Dynasty, when the forces of the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom, and the Mongols coexisted, none of them dared to attack the Kong family.

It has been like this for thousands of years, and it is no exaggeration to say that those who dare to oppose the Confucian family have not yet been born!

Kong Chengqing knows this truth best, but the strange things that have happened recently have made him suspicious.

Who is the person who has the courage to oppose the Confucian family?

In Daming, people with this strength are afraid that they will ...... It's just the one from the Forbidden City......

The patriarchs of the Kong family were talking in a whisper, but the haze on Kong Chengqing's face was getting worse and worse, and he felt more and more that something was wrong, and it was very likely that the emperor was preparing to use a knife against the Kong family!

Because the cause of the matter is the imminent implementation of a new national policy.

It is said that one of the most important contents of the new policy is to change the imperial examination.

It is said that it is necessary to abandon the traditional Four Books and Five Classics, and change the natural sciences to what kind of mess......

If this is the case, how can Confucianism still dominate, and how can the Confucian family still be supreme?

Therefore, the Yansheng Gongfu sent people to Wei County to preach education, and at the same time to convey a message to the scholars in the world, as long as the Confucian family is still there, the imperial examination is there, and the interests of all scholars are there!

However, now that I think about it, it seems that it is not so simple.

After Kong Zhiping went to Wei County, he was directly taken away by Jinyiwei.

Next, Yan Shenggong went to Jingshi in person, but he also sank into the sea like a stone, and there has been no news so far.

Now even the magistrate has lost his ......

Kong Chengqing suddenly raised his head and asked, "What happened to Chengping going to Jining Mansion?" What's going on?"

The county Cheng Yan Ziru thought for a while, and then said, "I don't know very well about my humble position, but before Kong Zhi County went to Jining Mansion, some strange things did happen......

"What's weird?"

"This ......"

Yan Ziru looked at the Kong family present and swallowed his saliva.

Kong Chengqing said impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it!

」

Yan Ziru had no choice but to say, "A few days ago, there were four ...... No, it's five people, all local people, who came to the county government to complain."

"Complaint? Sue whom?"

"Tell ...... Yan Sheng Gong's Mansion!"

As soon as Yan Ziru's words fell, someone took the case: "How can this be reasonable, who is so bold as to sue the Yan Shenggong Mansion?"

"You sit down first!"

Kong Chengqing glared at the man, and then said, "You go on, what's going on?"

Yan Ziru was helpless, so he had to tell what happened that day.

After hearing this, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and a few mud-legged people went to the county government to sue the Yan Shenggong Mansion, is this because they have a long life?

Isn't it just a few acres of land occupied by your family?

Didn't you just rob your wife?

Didn't you just kill your father......

Such a trivial matter, dare to sue?

However, Kong Chengqing smelled a hint of conspiracy.

It is true that a few mud legs, don't say a complaint on weekdays, in front of the Yansheng Mansion, they don't even dare to look up, why do they suddenly have the courage to go to the county government to complain?

This matter is very unreasonable, if the recent events are connected one by one, one by one, you will find that there seems to be an answer.

The reason for the incident is that the emperor wants to implement a new policy, and Yan Shenggong wants to stand up for the world's scholars, which is equivalent to offending the emperor.

Jinyiwei is the emperor's eagle dog, and everything they do is the emperor's will.

In other words, the mud legs of these complaints must have been instigated by some people, and of course the people behind the scenes know that it is impossible to bring down the Kong family with only a few mud legs and a few pieces of paper, but it is enough to bring down Kong Chengping, the magistrate!

As a parent in a county, the people shouted grievances, but ignored them, whether it was cover-up or dereliction of duty, it was enough to pull him into the water.

"That's right, Jining Mansion summoned Cheng Ping to go, it must be for this matter, and Cheng Ping's disappearance is also related to this matter!"

Yan Ziru was puzzled and asked, "Why did the little grandfather say this?"

Kong Chengqing's face turned dark, and he said, "Those few mud legs are definitely not simple, there are people behind them who instigate it, Qufu County will not try it, they must have sued Jining Mansion."

Yan Ziru said again: "It stands to reason that it is impossible for the prefect of Jining to oppose the Yansheng Mansion......

"Humph!"

Kong Chengqing sneered: "If my son's expectation is good, the next one to suffer is the prefect of Jining!"

Everyone present was stunned and didn't understand the meaning.

Kong Chengqing shook his head and said, "The matter is far more serious than we imagined, it should be that the emperor is ready to take action against the Kong family, and now that the matter is now, the Kong family has no choice, if we sit and wait to die, it will be a dead end, and we will fight back!"

Yan Ziru felt a cold sweat on his back, and said in his heart, isn't this going to rebel?

Your Confucian family is noble, everyone follows you, and you can get a little light, but if you want to rebel, do you want to kill us?

Kong Chengqing continued: "Immediately send a letter to the commander of Jinan Wei, saying that the Kong family is in trouble, and let him find a way to support! In addition, this son will write a letter to the world in the name of Yan Shenggong, calling on the people of the world to oppose the new policy, you should not be idle, after you go back, mobilize all the connections you can use to build momentum against the new policy, I don't believe it, if everyone in the world is against it, this new policy can be pushed forward?"

is worthy of being the successor of Yan Shenggong, Kong Chengqing's thinking is very clear, and the crux of all problems lies in the new deal.

If the emperor succeeds in implementing the new policy, the Confucian family will bear the brunt, and if at that time, some acts of opposition will be almost no different from rebellion, and the consequences can be imagined.

Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of the fact that the new policy has not yet been implemented, and use the status of Yan Shenggong to call up the world's scholars and let them make trouble and put pressure on the imperial court.

As long as the new deal fails, what the Confucian family does is the will of the people in the world, even if the emperor is reluctant, it is necessary to consider the feelings of thousands of scholars, then the Confucian family is still the supreme Confucian saint, and everyone in the world respects it

of the Holy Father.

After the discussion, the patriarchs of all ethnic groups went back to prepare, and the Confucian family flourished, and there were many children of officials in various places, and their connections were almost all over the world.

Cai Jinkui, the commander of Jinan Wei, was the son-in-law of the Yansheng Mansion, and when he received the letter, he was very entangled.

According to Kong Chengqing, the Yansheng Mansion did encounter trouble, but the Ming Dynasty was very strict in the management of the army, and without the order of the imperial court, the chief of the local health department had no right to act without authorization, otherwise, it would be punished as conspiracy.

In this case, even if he wanted to help, he was powerless.

"Father, what's the trouble?"

Cai Jinkui looked up and saw that it was his son Cai Kun, and said, "The letter from the Yansheng Mansion says that he is in trouble."

"Is it related to the New Deal?"

Cai Jinkui was surprised: "How do you know?"

Cai Kun handed over a piece of paper and said, "Father, look at this."

After Cai Jinkui took it, he took a few looks, and it was a public letter to the world, and the payment turned out to be Yan Shenggong.

"It's ...... Where did it come from?"

"Many people have received it, and the head of our academy is a personal disciple of Yan Shenggong, so naturally he has also received it."

Cai Jinkui said with palpitations: "Yansheng Mansion, is this going against the emperor?"

"Definitely!"

Cai Kun shook his head and said, "This is not against the emperor, but a call on scholars all over the world to oppose the new policy."

"Is there any difference?"

"If the Confucian family stands up against the new policy, then it is against the emperor, but if everyone in the world is against it, then the Confucian family is the trend of the times and goes with the flow!"

Cai Jinkui thought about it, it seemed to be this truth, but he didn't expect that his son would read it so thoroughly, and this book was not read in vain.

"Tell me again, what should I do as a father?"

"Mother is from the Yansheng Mansion, so at such a critical moment, my father naturally wants to help."

"However, without an order, I can't move a single soldier for my father, how can I help him?"

"It's easy!"

Cai Kun smiled slightly and said, "If there are rogues in the Qufu area, can Jinan Wei send troops to level the Kou?"

"That's right!"

Cai Jinkui smiled, it has to be a reader with a lot of ideas, why didn't he think of it?

Transferring troops for no reason is a capital crime, but if you go to Pingkou, not only is it not guilty, but it is still a great achievement!

"Without further ado, you can help write a note for your father now!"

Jinan Wei's recital was first sent to the hands of Pei Lun, the political envoy of Shandong, Pei Lun is the nineteenth year of Yongle Tanhua, this person is upright, does not avoid the powerful, dares to speak out, and has been repeatedly excluded in the court, Sanyang in order to protect him, he will be sent to Shandong as a political envoy, so that he can govern one side with peace of mind, away from the disputes of the Beijing Division.

When Pei Lun learned that there was a liukou, he didn't think much about it at all, so he replied to Cai Jinkui with a letter, ordering him to go to Pingkou immediately, and at the same time wrote a note and sent a fast horse to send the two letters to Jingshi.

Jinan Wei is full of 5,600 people, however, there is a large amount of empty salary, the actual number is about 3,000, Cai Jinkui left some old, weak, sick and disabled to guard the camp, personally with 2,000 main forces, day and night rushed to Qufu.

At the same time, a troop set off from Nanjing, and its destination was also Qufu.

There were about 500 men in this group, all cavalrymen, carrying the new orthodox 15-type rifles on their backs and carrying cartridges around their waists, and everyone was full of energy.

On the outskirts of Jining Mansion, Zhu Ji personally came to greet him.

"Zhu Ji, the lowly brocade guard, has seen Rui Guogong!"

Li Zhen turned over and dismounted, and said straight to the point: "What's the situation, it's not too late, right?"

Zhu Ji replied: "Back to Rui Guogong, Jinan Wei's men and horses are still on the way, and they are expected to arrive in Qufu in three days."

Li Zhen nodded and said, "The order I received is to cooperate with your actions, you just say how to fight, whether to intercept and kill halfway, or how?"

"Rui Guogong has worked hard all the way, so let's take a rest first, and when Jinan Wei arrives,

It's never too late to make plans."

Li Zhen thought for a while, and then asked, "Why don't you take the Confucian Mansion first?"

"This ...... No hurry, no hurry!"

"Let me tell you, we are very busy, the Jiangnan Guards are going to military training, I finally pulled out 500 people for you, we must fight quickly, we can't delay!"

"What Rui Guogong said is, but he is still ...... Let's plan it......

Zhu Ji was secretly worried in his heart, why did this person come up and shout and shout to kill, the people haven't rebelled yet, what is it to kill people now?

They have to be convicted of their crimes, and then they will be dealt with, so that they can be justified.

Li Zhen looked a little impatient and urged, "Okay, tell me your plan, when will we act?"

Zhu Ji: ......

"You're talking!"

"This ......"

Zhu Ji looked at the sky and said, "It's not early, so I prepared wine and food to wash the dust for Rui Guogong!"

"Don't be in a hurry to eat, you talk about your plan first."

"Okay, please move Rui Guogong."

Zhu Ji had no choice but to take Li Zhen to the house, open the map, and said: "According to the lowly intelligence, there are about 2,000 people in Jinan Wei, and they claim to the outside world that they are trying to exterminate the rogues in Qufu.

"And what do you mean?"

"When Jinan Wei arrives in Qufu, according to the law of the Great Ming Dynasty, if there are no rogues to suppress, they must return to the station within the specified time, otherwise, they can be punished as conspiracy."

"In other words, you have to wait?"

"Yes, wait!"

Li Zhen sighed and said, "Then you said it earlier, I'll come over a few days later."

Zhu Ji laughed and said, "If there is no Rui Guogong in charge, there are only a hundred brocade guards around him, if the other party suddenly makes trouble, I am afraid it will be ...... Outnumbered......"
