This time, the current head of the Southern Confucian family who carried the treasures to the north was called Kong Yi, he had no official body, he was dressed plainly, his face was dark after a long time of exposure, his fingers were rough, and his joints were swollen.

It is really not wrong to say that it is a farming heirloom.

Xu Jingchang was ordered to send the imperial pen, "Duke Kong came to Yingtian, Your Majesty was overjoyed, and specially ordered me to send the imperial pen to praise your loyalty." ”

Kong Yi lowered his head slightly, and was quite respectful to Xu Jingchang, but he did not have the slightest flattery, nor was he afraid of trembling, and he had a somewhat humble and arrogant demeanor.

He bowed down and said, "The grass people worship the grace of heaven and solve the good intentions of the Dingguo Gong...... It's just that this imperial pen can't be accepted no matter what, and I ask Dingguo Gong to bring it back and ask His Majesty for the grass people. ”

Xu Jingchang didn't say anything directly, but sat down, and then beckoned Kong Yi to sit down.

"Gong Kong, don't worry, let's meet for the first time, you may not know, he likes to read since he was a child, and he can't release the volume, and he has a little dabbling in the subset of classics and history. It's just that the more you read the book, the more confused you become. You are a saint's house, cultivating and reading inheritance, you must be knowledgeable, let's chat first. Rong Wansheng asked Kong Gong a few questions. ”

Kong Yi frowned slightly, he had heard of Xu Jingchang...... But I've only heard of it.

The young man in front of him was polite and dignified. I have to say that a person's appearance is a very important talent, and Xu Jingchang belongs to the kind of person who loves everyone and sees flowers blooming.

Of course, the premise is that you don't know what he's done and haven't dealt with him.

Unfortunately, Kong Yi was the victim.

He was confused by Xu Jingchang, he was a young man with ambition and was in a high position, and it was inevitable that some people would speak viciously and slander, which was reasonable.

The test jade should be burned for three days, and the material must be aged for seven years.

Don't look at people arbitrarily.

Kong Yi said humbly: "The people of the grass people and the mountains and wilderness don't understand so many truths, if Dingguo Gong has to ask, if he doesn't say the right thing, please forgive Dingguo Gong." ”

Xu Jingchang nodded and said with a smile: "Gong Kong, I recently read history books and read about the old events of the Two Song Dynasty, and the more I look at it, the more I grit my teeth and hate it...... Hate Song Huizong shamelessly, hate Song Qinzong for being incompetent. It is especially hateful, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, bent his knees and barbarians, called his ministers Fanbang, mutilated famous generals, and killed righteous soldiers. Single-mindedly lingering, holding on to the shortcomings. It is precisely because of him that China has fallen, a hundred years of ruins. Fortunately, Emperor Taizu carried a three-foot sword and swept away the Northern Yuan Dynasty in order to restore the rivers and mountains of the Han family. When I thought of the Yuan court's occupation of the Central Plains and the cutting off of the Chinese cultural context for a hundred years, it was really heartbreaking and regretful. I don't know if there is a chance to continue the broken context, Kong Gong may give some pointers? ”

Speaker Kong sighed, and when he mentioned the history of the Two Song Dynasty, he also felt the same way.

"If the Jin people did not invade the Central Plains, the ancestors would not have carried the Three Treasures and crossed the river to the south. Originally, he thought that there was hope for the restoration of the country, but as a result, Yue Wumu was killed, and he couldn't go straight to Huanglong. Yashan failed miserably, and Shenzhou sank ...... It's also heartwarming and grieving. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty expelled Hu Lu and restored Chinese orthodoxy. As long as we make great efforts to govern the country and promote education, it will not be long before we can restore the weather of China, and all countries will come to the dynasty, and the prosperity can be expected. Dingguo Gong doesn't have to worry. ”

Xu Jingchang shook his head, "Gong Kong, things are not that simple. In my later years, when I was an official in the Department of General Administration, I discovered some civil cases, and from the marriage alone, there were bad habits of younger brothers marrying widows and sisters-in-law, and younger brothers marrying younger brothers-in-law. Therefore, the "Da Ming Law" expressly prohibits it, and the punishment is very severe - if you accept your father, grandfather and uncle, you will be beheaded; If the brother dies and accepts the sister-in-law, and the brother dies and accepts the younger brother-in-law, each of them will be hanged. Concubines are each subtracted by two. But even so, it happens from time to time, and the harm of Hu Feng can be seen. ”

Kong Yi was in the people, so he naturally knew these things, but he didn't expect that Xu Jingchang, a young countryman, could care so much about people's livelihood, and he was quite moved.

"Dingguo Gong, what you said is extremely true, from the perspective of the grass people, it will always get better and better."

Xu Jingchang smiled again, "Kong Gong is insincere!" As the saying goes, if the broom is not swept, the dust will not go by itself...... I am an official of the imperial court, and I am deeply favored by the country, and where righteousness lies, I will do my best. I think that the current major event should be to uphold the right and dispel the evil, and distinguish between right and wrong. Only in this way can we completely liquidate the dust of the past and restore the glow of China. ”

Kong Yi was curious: "Dingguo Gong, what are your plans?" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "I thought of some things, such as building a temple for Yue Wumu...... Yue Wumu's deeds were compiled into the book, and after being printed, they were distributed to the people of the world for free. and Prime Minister Wen, too. ”

Publishing books, this is Xie Jin's responsibility, and it is not difficult to add some content to them.

Kong Yi nodded again and again when he heard this, "Dingguo Gong's move is really inspiring and a wonderful plan. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled implicitly, "Gong Kong, this is just a little thin." It is still too far from really sweeping away Hu Feng and restoring the Chinese meteorology. I thought about building a martyr's ancestral hall and placing it in Beiping, which was the land of Yanyun in the past. In the two Song Dynasty and three hundred years, Yanyun has never been recovered, which is a lifelong regret for countless people of insight in the world. Lu You and Xin Qiji, they have been thinking about recovering their homeland all their lives, but they can only end up with hatred. Now in Beiping to establish the martyrs' ancestral hall to commemorate the heroes who recovered their homeland, and around the ancestral hall, another temple is built to commemorate Yue Wumu, Prime Minister Wen, and countless loyal people. Let's start with this matter. How about Kong Gongyi? ”

Kong Yi nodded hurriedly and said: "Naturally, it is excellent, and the grass people admire the open-mindedness of Dingguo Gong." ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "In this case, I would like to ask Kong Gong to go to Beiping to preside over the temple repair and sacrifice matters......

Hearing this, Kong Yi immediately wanted to refuse, but Xu Jingchang waved his hand and stopped him.

"Gong Kong, I know your worries, Nan Kong Rangjue, he doesn't want fame and fortune, and he is happy to live in poverty. He is worthy of being a descendant of a saint and an example in the world. You are afraid that once you agree to go out, you will have a dispute with Qufu Beikong, and then the children of the Kong family will fight among themselves, which will make people laugh and be generous, and ruin the reputation of the sage's family. ””

Xu Jingchang's every sentence touched Kong Yi's heart, "Dingguo Gong, since this is the case, why bother to make it difficult?" ”

"No, that's just the first layer of things." Xu Jingchang said: "Right and wrong cannot be confused, and the lessons of the past cannot be forgotten...... Your Kong family, like thousands of people in China, suffered a catastrophe and died for the rest of your life. Now that the Ming Dynasty has only been established for more than 30 years, there are some things that we don't do, and in a few decades, it will be too late to do it. ”

Xu Jingchang stood up and invited Zhu Di's imperial pen over.

"Gong Kong, you see, this is not for your Kong family, but to reward all the heroes who still have loyalty and righteousness when Shenzhou Lu is sinking...... It is this breath that we can get up again. Since ancient times, from the south to the north, unified China, except for my Ming Dynasty, there is no second. It is precisely because of the painful lessons and the pain of the skin that we can not avoid knives and guns and not be afraid of death. Go forward and follow each other, and forget about life. The land of Yanyun, thousands of miles of fertile soil, every inch of land, there is the blood of loyal ministers and righteous soldiers! ”

Xu Jingchang said excitedly: "Gong Kong, you take care of the love of the Kong family and the reputation of the saint, I admire it very much, and it is beyond reproach. But I would like to ask Kong Gongneng to think about it a little more. Think about the suffering of China for more than 300 years, and think about how future generations can avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. Your Kong family has been inherited to this day, the sun and the moon are the hope of the world. Standing up, just like the ancestors who carried the Three Treasures and resolutely crossed the river, did something for the people, and also comforted the successive generations of Yan Shenggong after Nandu, did Kong Gong still hesitate? ”

Listening to Xu Jingchang's words, Kong Yi's blood was burning, and the injustice suppressed in his heart erupted and was unstoppable.

That's too good to say, it couldn't be better!

Confucius Nanzong originally crossed the river with the Southern Song Dynasty, and they chose to follow the Han dynasty.

Just imagine, if Zhao Song is a little bit out and can recover his homeland, whose position is Yan Shenggong?

Undoubtedly, it can only be Nankong's!

Even if they don't want to!

It's a pity that Zhao Song didn't have the ability, he lost the Liao State, lost the Jin State, lost the Jin State and lost Mongolia, and in the end he didn't have to lose, and lost the whole world.

Nankong also bet on the wrong treasure, what face does he have to return to Qufu?

But no one can deny their adherence to loyalty and integrity.

In fact, they are not lost, after all, the Great Yuan Dynasty did not sit on the country for a long time.

The Ming Dynasty, which rose from Huaixi, swept the world and restored its homeland.

Including the land of Yanyun, all of them have returned.

There is nothing wrong with the ancestors carrying the three treasures and resolutely crossing the river, but the time is a little late.

Now the Ming Dynasty has built temples and sacrificed to the martyrs, so it is not to commemorate their Confucian Southern Sect!

Kong Yi set his sights on the royal pen again: the first one of loyalty and filial piety!

He muttered a thought, and suddenly fell to his knees, and cried like rain.

Kong Yi didn't want to enter Beijing, for fear of getting into trouble and losing the face of the saint.

But Zhu Gaosui, the bastard, told him that there was a Nishan Hongru Association, all kinds of gossip, slandering sages. It's just that the Holy Duke of Qu Fuyan is only three years old, and he can't clean up the source, since he is a child of the Confucian family, how can he sit idly by?

Kong Yi had no choice but to bring the Three Treasures into Beijing, and if he wanted to explain the matter of the Nishan Hongru Society, he immediately returned to his hometown.

But he never expected that he would get the royal pen, and Xu Jingchang's reasoning.

Everything else is secondary, glory, wealth, and titles can all be put aside.

But Xu Jingchang is right, the choice of the ancestors cannot be buried...... Our vein abides by loyalty and righteousness, is worthy of the sky, and there should be a public opinion in the history of thousands of years.

In that case, it seems that it is time to step up and do something.

It's just that it's still the same sentence, the north and south holes, there must be no infighting, and no one can see jokes.

After thinking about it for a long time, Kong Yi got up from the ground, wiped his tears, and sighed: "Dingguo Gong said this, the grass people really dare not refute, and they can't live up to their love." It's just that no matter what, the people of Nankong will not violate the family motto, and they will definitely not snatch the title of Duke Yansheng. ”

Xu Jingchang laughed, "Please rest assured, Gong Kong, I have already told Your Majesty, Qufu sacrifices Kong, everything is up to the Northern Sect." There will be no problem of canonizing the descendants of Nankong. This time, you are representing the Ming Dynasty and presiding over the sacrifice of the martyrs. Your position may not be passed on to future generations, in short, this is for the Ming Dynasty to do things, for the world to do things. In your family rules, there is no rule that you should be an ordinary person for the rest of your life, right? ”

Kong Yi's old face was slightly red, and he hurriedly said: "It's really not, since that's the case...... Then there is Lao Dingguogong around. ”

After they finished speaking, Xu Jingchang was about to leave, and at this time, news came from outside that Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was here to discuss the etiquette of meeting the monarch with Kong.

Xu Jingchang frowned slightly, and then laughed, "I won't delay the business, say goodbye." ”

Xu Jingchang is gone, and Song Li is here.

After briefly talking about the etiquette process, Song Li said: "I came here this time, I only have one request, I want you to resign from Your Majesty's reward, no matter what it is, I will refuse it all." ”

Kong Yi was slightly stunned, "That's what I originally thought. ”

"That's great...... Song Li was overjoyed.

But Kong Yi interrupted him and added, "But I listened to some words and changed my mind again. There are some things that should be done! ”
