"As a result, he brought people to Qufu, and he didn't even cause any harm to the Kong family, and everyone was wiped out. Although Qufu is only a small county town, under the management of the Confucian family for nearly a thousand years, it has long become a monolith, unless it is attacked by a large army, ordinary people don't want to make anything in it."

Tian Ti's answer is also expected, if the Kong family has a great reputation in the world, then it has become enough to compete with the imperial court in Ludi, and it will respond to every call.

And when it comes to their real territory, Qufu, the Kong family is a heaven-like existence. If you don't use a large army to attack it, then if you want to come to the door to trouble the Kong family, it will be tantamount to sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

But if you really use a large army to enter Qufu and slaughter the Confucian family, it will be an enemy of the world's scholars, not to mention that you will become the target of the world's attacks, even if it is really done in the end, your reputation will be completely stinky, and in later generations of books, it will inevitably become synonymous with violence, which is not as good as it.

This is also the reason why the three major forces in the north dare not mess around in Ludi, after all, this influence is too great, and they still have enough ambitions......

Sun Ning returned his attention to Xun Jia again: "This is how he died at the hands of the Kong family?"

"No, how can the descendants of Confucius be so harmful? After they took the people, they sent Xun Gongzi back to Jeju, but the matter had been thoroughly publicized. Moreover, they also mentioned that after Xun Gongzi and them arrived in Qufu, they had molested a local girl, and she committed suicide directly by throwing herself into a well because of her chaste nature......

"Two things quickly spread throughout Ludi, some said that all this was instigated by Xun Taishou and disrespectful to Confucius, and there were also those who constantly accused Xun Taishou of having no way to teach his son and killing innocents. At this time, the Kong family also united with the Lu Di scholars to exert continuous pressure, and King Lu contributed to it, almost forcing Xun Taishou to resign from his official position.

"In such a situation, Xun Gongzi can only stand up in the end and apologize for his sins with death in front of everyone. Although he tried to defend himself before he died, he never did anything wrong to the woman, but no one believed him, even if he died.

"And Xun Gongzi's death has finally made Xun Taishou's situation better, but the impact is still not small, so that the military power he originally held was also taken away by the Lu Palace."

Sun Ning was amazed when he heard it, if all this was true, he had to admire the methods of the Kong family.

What does it mean that literati kill people without seeing blood, they not only kill people, but also punish their hearts.

While forcing Xun Jia to death, he also dealt a severe blow to Xun Yin's prestige in Ludi, making him lose face, and at the same time his strength was greatly reduced. Even he had reason to suspect that Xun Jia's sudden action was also secretly lured by the Kong family, and from the very beginning, their breakthrough was placed on Xun Jia, the son of Taishou.

"It's amazing, with the most righteous and bright means to seize power Xun Taishou, King Lu has the help of the Kong family, and it is really possible to control the entire Lu land." Sun Ning finally commented.

"Yes, when I found out what was going on, I was terrified." Tian Jian sighed with him, "But it is precisely because of this kind of thing that it has led to the current changes."

"Because I saw that King Lu really wanted to completely control Lu Di, so those three families would think of annexing Lu Di in a more peaceful way?"

"Yes, of course that's just one of the triggers. Another key point is in the south. I heard that the imperial court has completely recaptured Jiangnan, and judging from the current situation, the imperial court will turn its focus to the north in the future."

Tian Jian said with a solemn expression: "Everyone knows that when the time comes, more strength will have more security, and Lu Di, whether it is location or wealth, is very useful to the three of them, so it is naturally the most reassuring to hold it in hand."

"However, there is still a mutual restraint between them, so it is not easy to use troops directly, so they can only use more covert means to persuade King Lu."

With these words, Sun Ning finally understood the general situation in the north and Ludi at the moment.

Ludi's prosperity today is to benefit from a complex and delicate balance of the situation, but at present, such a balance is almost unsustainable.

And whether it is King Lu or the Kong family behind it,

This should also be seen, so what they have to do is to take this opportunity to seek more benefits for themselves.

No matter which force swallows up their independence, or a lot of benefits from it, they must ask for it, and then it depends on who of the three can give more benefits.

It's ridiculous that Zhao Qianzhe still looks full of confidence, thinking that with the internal response arranged by his family in the Lu Palace, he can easily achieve his wishes. But he didn't expect that King Lu was the most trustworthy now and had already become the Kong family.

However, the existence of Jeju Taishou Xun Yin has also added a variable to this dispute, and he may really have a bargaining chip that will affect the final direction of Ludi. After all, he has been an official in Jeju for more than ten years, and in terms of influence and power, he should not be under King Lu.

"Interesting, really funny." Sun Ning finally smiled and said, "Who would have thought that this small Ludi would actually attract so many forces to entangle it. And this is the perfect time for us to take advantage of the opportunity to plunge the north into even greater chaos and create an opportunity for our entry!"

"What Childe said is that he also thinks like this, so he will devote himself to listening to Xun Tai's account." Tian Jian immediately echoed.

It's just that what he didn't know was that the "we" in Sun Ning's mouth was not the Zonghenghui he thought, but the Dayue Imperial Court in the south.

So he asked excitedly, "I wonder what Childe plans to do next?" How can they stir up contradictions between them?"

"I haven't figured this out yet, but when I do, I'll give you the answer so you can help me do something." Sun Ning gave orders to him without letting go, and everything seemed so smooth: "In this way, you should know where Zhao Qianzhe and them live, then go and set up a contact point there, so that I can contact you when the time comes." Also, help me prepare some high-quality weapons, I'll be useful."

At this point, he was empty-handed, and he was really insecure.

"Yes, I'll make arrangements tonight, these are small things." Tian Jian agreed.

Sun Ning patted the other party's shoulder with satisfaction: "Work hard, our Zonghenghui will definitely be able to take the north and achieve great things." When the time comes, you will be the first to merit, and my uncle and I will not forget you." new

These words made Tian Jian even more excited: "Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely go all out!"

At this time, it was already dark outside, and in the communication between the two, time flew by, and nearly two hours had passed in a blink of an eye.
