Chapter 45 Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the Ming Emperor

"Yan Shenggong, next time I am short of money to spend, I will come to you!"

Yang Feng stood on an ox cart and waved goodbye to Yan Shenggong, who was smiling behind him.

"Great, the ambassador is good, but in the future, there is a lack of usefulness, even if you come to Kong, you and I are like brothers!"

The latter also had to cry without tears to show generosity.

And behind Yang Feng's ox cart, there are all kinds of vehicles that cannot be seen at a glance, ox carts, carriages and even trolleys, all of which are full of grain, which is Yan Shenggong in order to show his loyalty to the Ming Emperor, and took the initiative to donate to His Majesty the Emperor to comfort the nearby guards.

Yanzhou Guard.

Ren Chengwei.

Jining Left Guard.

The nearest Yanzhou and Jining Sanwei all have one soldier and two stone meters.

In fact, it is two stones for a family, but not all of it is rice, in fact, most of it is millet and even some wheat.

As for Yang Feng's ox cart, of course, it can't be grain, it's all wooden boxes, as for what the box contains, this is inconvenient to disclose, anyway, the horse can't move the car, so it must be used oxen, wood wrapped around the wheel of the angle iron, and two obvious ruts are deeply crushed.

"Well, what's the most important thing between brothers?"

Yang Feng shouted.

"Righteous anger!"

Yan Sheng Gong shouted in a crying voice.

"Yes, righteousness, blessed and shared, hahahaha......"

Yang Feng smiled proudly.

Then the people of Qufu silently watched them perform, and I have to say that this scene shocked them greatly, and the long motorcade began to move forward in the eyes of everyone.

"Ambassador Yang, I have thanked the guards of Yanzhou on behalf of the lower officials, but I am still very curious, how did you and Yan Shenggong become good brothers?"

Hu Bingzhong said with a smile.

Of course, he is in a good mood now, not only this matter was successfully resolved, but also brought back more than 30,000 stone of grain to the military households of Yanzhou Sanwei, which was given for free, although the military households were not short of food and clothing at this time, but the family got two stone of grain for white It is definitely worth celebrating, and he will also be respected by the military households. As for how much Yang Feng extorted from the Kong family, it has nothing to do with him, he just needs to play it when he returns, and how to deal with it is Zhu Yuanzhang's business, but His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not care......

Yang Feng is not missing him, everyone has a share, can you take care of it?

But he still wanted to test what Yang Feng's secret was, as a smart person, he had already seen from the process of Yang Feng's blackmailing of Kong Ne that the latter had a ghost in his heart.

There's obviously something wrong with that!

"I'm also very curious, it is said that your emperor took Quzhou very early, and he was also courteous to the Quzhou Kong family, why did he not choose the Quzhou Confucian family, but kept this Yan Shenggong, he will not know who is the real brand, even if it is in terms of heirs, it is obviously Kong Duanyou and his family are more qualified."

Yang Feng said.

As for what he wanted from Conne, he had basically already figured it out.

The latter doesn't need to admit anything, and this attitude towards him is already equivalent to admitting it.

As for the Confucius family sacrifice field he wanted to find out, this was indeed forged by the Confucius family later, and the current Kong family is more than 900 hectares in the Yuan Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang has no additional reward, but he just recognized their sacrifice fields in the Yuan Dynasty. Later, the so-called 2,000 acres of land should have been rewarded by those emperors later, plus their own annexation, and then forged the claim of Zhu Yuanzhang's reward to exempt taxes, and the fields of wealthy families in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were all a confused account, and they were not inferior to the Confucian family.

Even if the court officials knew, they pretended not to know because of the façade of the Kong family, and besides, Qufu Zhixian was originally the Kong family.

It is impossible to report it.

As for the emperor......

As for those emperors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there are a few who can know all the things their ancestors did.

"Is it all we can guess about the Divine Will?"

Hu Bingzhong said with a smile.

"It can't be that the Confucius family in Quzhou didn't give him enough face back then, right?"

Yang Feng said.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already taken Quzhou before he was called King Wu.

He also ordered Wang Kai, the magistrate appointed to him, to rebuild the family temple for the Confucian family in Quzhou, and it was obvious that he was ready to set up this tablet, but in the end, there was no follow-up, and even the doctor of the Five Classics of the Confucian family in Quzhou was still sealed in the Hongzhi period.

Looking at it this way, except that the Confucian family in Quzhou didn't take a fancy to him back then, there is really nothing to explain.

It is also possible that the Confucian family in Quzhou didn't look down on him at that time, one is that he was still a Song minister at that time, even if they want to restore Yan Shenggong, they are looking for Han Lin'er, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the other is that there was chaos at that time, there were many rogues like him, even if the comparison was Zhang Shicheng, these were more reliable. What's more, there is no need to bet early in the troubled times, anyway, it is impossible for him to kill the Quzhou Kong family because of this, so there is no need to rush to pat him on the back, the Quzhou Kong family is still very arrogant, otherwise he would not disdain to take over the Yan Shenggong from the Mongols.

In this way, it will be difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to have a good impression of them.

"Ambassador, what does Yan Shenggong do?"

Hu Bingzhong said with a smile.

"Of course, it is to win over you Confucian scholars, and offering a tablet can allow you to sing the praises of virtue, what a cost-effective deal."

"Jiangnan is already in His Majesty's pocket, and Jiangnan Confucianism still needs to be extraordinarily wooed?"

"Ah, I understand, Jiangnan Confucianism has no value to woo, but Northern Confucianism is still very valuable to him, taking Northern Confucius as the Holy Prince, it is equivalent to telling Northern Confucianism that he attaches great importance to Northern Confucianism, and there is no need to worry that he will focus on the south and ignore the north, so the north, especially the Shandong gentry, can also welcome the king.

Got it! ”

"Well, the lower official didn't say anything, it was all guessed by the ambassador."

"Naughty!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

This is a reasonable explanation.

It can be seen from the north-south list that Zhu Yuanzhang really wants the north and south to have a bowl of water.

This is indeed a reasonable disposition of the monarch of a country, and he was originally unified by the south, the northern gentry have not been ruled by the Han monarch for hundreds of years, in their opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang represents the southerners, if he continues to take the Confucian family in Quzhou as the holy prince, it will make the northern gentry more resistant to him, in the final analysis, he is still submissive to the northern gentry. Then if he establishes Beikong as the Holy Duke of Yan, he can show the northern gentry that he will not value the south and ignore the north, and then the northern gentry will not resist him.

At that moment, a cavalryman in front of him galloped and stopped next to them......

"Commander Xu, please return quickly."

He saluted.

"What's wrong?"

Hu Bingzhong said.

"The edict of the emperor's grandson has arrived."

Said the cavalryman.

Yang Feng and Hu Bingzhong looked at each other......

"Hurry up, this is a big deal!"

Yang Feng said.

Then he jumped out of the ox cart and ran wildly in the direction of Yanzhou City.

Later, Hu Bingzhong arranged the transportation, and also urged the horse to catch up, and soon he surpassed Yang Feng, but as a civil official, he was obviously not suitable for riding a horse, and he was not riding a good horse, so he just maintained a normal brisk ride, and the two actually maintained a similar speed. Hu Bingzhong watched Yang Feng's running all the way, and finally the two of them arrived in Yanzhou in more than half an hour, after all, it was only more than ten kilometers, and then Yang Feng obviously appeared with him in the official office of the Yanzhou guard.

A group of Yanzhou officials have gathered, including the commanders of the Yanzhou guards and the city guards, the commanders, the commanders, and the commanders are all called commanders.

In addition, there are the right long history of the palace and several other subordinate officials.

On the table between them, there was the edict that was announced to the world in an urgent way, and Yang Feng simply walked over and picked it up......

"So, now your third emperor grandson has been canonized as the imperial grandson?"

In the rebuke of those officials, he looked at the edict and took a deep breath and said.

The original history was rewritten again, and this time Zhu Yuanzhang's choice was Zhu Yunxi.

This choice is also normal, after all, he already knows that Zhu Yunxi is useless, whether it is losing to a vassal king with the strength of the whole world, or there is the possibility of killing his uncle, this is enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to abandon him, but choosing Zhu Di does not conform to the rules he set, so he can only choose Zhu Yunxi.

"Your Majesty, the heir cannot be abolished."

Hu Bingzhong was obviously very pleased.

According to the standard etiquette of Confucianism, Zhu Yunwen's order of inheritance is indeed lower than that of Zhu Yunxi, because his mother is a side room Fuzheng, and according to Confucian etiquette, even if it is a side room Fuzheng, the son born to the dead wife is higher than the son of the side room Fuzheng in the order of succession, even if he is young.

The first generation is higher than the step-step, regardless of age.

Other officials also agreed, and the civil officials were satisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's compliance with Confucian etiquette, and the military generals were satisfied with the spring system.

"But, how does Lan Yu arrange it?"

Yang Feng suddenly said with a blank face.

"Uh, the lower official still has something to do, so I'll retire first!"

Right Changshi, who was still reading the edict together, was so frightened that he quickly slipped away.

Hu Bingzhong looked at him gloomily, and then hurriedly prepared to slip away together, but he was a step too late and was grabbed by Yang Feng.

"Hu Changshi, you haven't answered me yet?"

Yang Feng said dissatisfiedly.

"Ambassador Yang, the lower official doesn't understand what you're talking about at all, the lower official really has something important to do, so he won't accompany him, this is the official office commanded by Xu, not the lower official is in charge."

Hu Bingzhong struggled outward and said at the same time.

Saying that, he was really anxious, and his face began to sweat.

Then Yang Feng's gaze immediately turned to Commander Xu, who had not reacted immediately, but those who could be commanded were not fools after all, and quickly understood why these civilian officials were running.

"The old man went to welcome the grain team, but there was Lao Xu Changshi who presided over it."

He slipped away as fast as he could.

Then the rest of the civil officials and generals all slipped away under various excuses, and Yang Feng and Hu Bingzhong who were grabbed by him were left in the entire hall, Yang Feng looked at Hu Bingzhong very purely, and blinked his eyes with curiosity, and Hu Bingzhong looked at him without tears, but then showed a resolute face, and the next moment they closed their eyes, and they fell straight to the ground of the stone slab......

"Do you think you'll be able to run after I ask that?"

Looking at Hu Changshi, who was pretending to be unconscious, Yang Feng said gloomily with an evil smile on his face.
