Zhu Gaochi hugged the contemporary Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin, the little guy was only four years old, but he was actually only two and a half weeks old...... is much smaller than Zhu Zhanji, thin and dull, and it is difficult to speak.

Zhu Gaochi was distressed when he saw it.

"Good boy, at such a young age, how can you carry such a big family business! Don't worry, I will take care of you in the future, our two families will share weal and woe, and work together in harmony, this palace will definitely take good care of you, and treat you as your own son. ”

Faced with this situation, the people of the Kong clan were really speechless to the extreme.

Can you make a face, can we be pitiful to the old Zhu family?

Compared to the thousand-year-old Kong family, your Zhu family has only been the emperor for a few days?

I really think I'm quite noble, stinky muddy legs, the smell of soil on my body hasn't dissipated yet, and I dare to kiss the Kong family, why don't you look in the mirror?

It's a pity that these words hidden in the heart of the Confucian Mansion are really unspeakable, not only can't say it, but also thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his deep friendship.

Zhu Gaochi was not polite, and directly brought Kong Yanjin to his side, and he even brought a few palace maids who were good at taking care of children, and asked them to take care of Kong Yanjin's affairs.

The reason is even more sufficient, now it is chaotic, people's hearts are unstable, and people are constantly suing the Kong family, in order to prevent someone from assassinating, so they need to be taken care of.

Usually, whoever the Confucian Mansion asks to take care of Yan Shenggong can send two or three to the prince's residence to serve together, and as for the others, don't get involved.

Zhu Gaochi was tantamount to pinching Yan Shenggong in his own hands.

Where can the Confucian people stand it...... Several gray-haired elders stood up and knelt in front of Zhu Gaochi, crying bitterly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Qufu is where the ancestral tomb of the Confucian family is located, and the children of the Confucian family cannot leave overnight. Yan Shenggong is filial piety, how can he abandon his ancestors? What's more, Yan Shenggong's biological mother is still here, and his parents are here, so he won't travel far! ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled: "That's wrong, although your surname is Kong, you can't bully me for not understanding the teachings of the sage!" Sage Kong said that there must be a way to travel...... Yan Shenggong went to Yingtian and studied with his grandson, is there anything better than this? What's more, Confucius traveled around the world back then, seeking to become an official and benefit the common people. However, at that time, the monarchs of various countries did not have vision and could not reuse their masters. Don't worry, this time is different, Yansheng Gongxue has succeeded, and my Ming Dynasty will definitely be reused, and he will not bury the talent because of his identity. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi picked up Kong Yanjin and walked away.

The people from the Confucius Mansion in the back still wanted to stop them, but Jinyiwei had already stopped them.

Seeing that Yan Shenggong was taken away, the rest of the Confucian Mansion were stunned, and after a little thought, they felt that something was wrong.

Yan Sheng Gong is a trump card in their hands, and now that Yan Sheng Gong has been taken away, who can protect the Kong family?

After a few old people discussed, they went to meet Zhu Gaochi and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return the Yan Shenggong...... It's just that when they came out of the Confucian Mansion and went to see the prince first, there were already officials from Qufu County standing outside.

"On the orders of the Emperor, take care of this place. The people inside, waiting for a thorough investigation. You're in a lawsuit. ”

Kong Yanjin's uncle Kong Gongda was furious, "You little county magistrate yamen dare to come to Kong's house to spread wilderness? This is the saint's door, what do you want to do? ”

When the leading warden heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "What saint sect? Where is the Holy Father? Where the Holy Father is located is the saint's door. You people are nothing more than criminals who rely on the name of the saints to do misdeeds. The people who sue you are already lined up at the Yamen, so let's wait to pass through the hall! ”

Finished!

Kong Gongda's eyes were dark, and he fell down directly.

Despicable, just too despicable.

The dignified prince, deceived Yan Shenggong, and then instigated the people below to bully the Kong family, are you not afraid of a loss of conscience?

"Wronged, the Kong family is wronged!"

The Kong clan wanted to resist, but their family members had already been arrested, and even those who escaped capture fled one after another, for fear of being arrested again.

There is no family, and there is no Yan Shenggong...... At this time, the Confucian Mansion was an empty temple without immortals, and it was given and demanded.

And the real horror is not this, but over the years, the Confucian Mansion has done too many evil things in the local area, and the people remember it one by one!

I just disposed of a bunch of family members in front, how can this be enough!

It is only now that the real heart is involved.

Zhu Gaochi called Yuan Gang to the camp.

"Yuan Zhixian, the case of the Kong family, you did a good job, the government and the opposition praised each other, and even the father and emperor were very admired, thinking that you are a capable minister and a pillar of the country."

In the face of the praise, Yuan Gang's old face flushed, "If you go back to Your Highness, the minister also learned about the evil deeds of the Kong family after he arrived in Qufu. When Xia Guan was in the capital, he was questioned by Dingguo Gong whether he wanted to protect the descendants of the Confucian family or the morality in his heart...... When the lower official arrived in Qufu and checked the case files accumulated over the years, he suddenly had another understanding, and the lower official thought that the official should be the master of the people! Ministers must be good parents and officials, worthy of the people! ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but clapped his palm, and said with a smile: "You said this well, I also said this in front of my father." The crown prince's reputation doesn't matter, what really matters is the people. I will now write to my father, asking my father to promote you to the governor of Shandong, with full authority to deal with the case of Kong, and to take care of Bingzhou County in Shandong, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Yuan Gang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The minister bows to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his support, the minister will definitely not disgrace his mission and die without regrets!" ”

Yuan Gang never expected that not long ago, he was still a seven-rank imperial history, and in the blink of an eye, he became a feudal official in power. The difference in identity and authority is simply worlds apart.

He is a very interesting person, in addition to his belief in morality, he also has the urge to die for his confidant...... In the depths of his heart, he really regarded his monarch father more than anything else.

The crown prince is the future emperor, and the prince appreciates himself and entrusts him with important tasks, and he has to repay the kindness of his acquaintance...... As for the House of Confucius, isn't Yan Shenggong by the prince's side!

Others are just deceitful people who take the name of a saint and ruin the reputation of a saint.

I, Yuan Gang, disposed of them, but also for the sake of Confucianism.

"Pass the order, I will be in the Qufu County Ya, accept the people's complaints, implicate the Kong family, and will not tolerate it!"

In the next Qufu, there was an exciting scene.

The people lined up and went to the county yamen to complain.

And the county government opened its door and welcomed the people to complain...... As soon as the name is named, someone will immediately go out to arrest the person.

Especially those children of the Kong family, they hid in the Confucian Mansion and shivered, and they would be taken away by the officials of the Yamen at any time to be interrogated.

Many are gone.

The movement in Qufu is getting bigger and bigger, and as it continues to develop, even people in the entire Yanzhou Mansion have worked tirelessly and come to Yuan Qingtian to sue and avenge their grievances.

Yuan Gang was very busy here, and he had to try the case before dawn, and he would try it until the moon set and the stars returned...... When he returned to Yamen, he had to continue to sort out the case files, often staying up all night.

He is so busy, and the results are also remarkable, a piece of land, returned to the original owner, and one unjust case after another has been redressed.

The Kong clan has been implicated in various cases, and there are more than 100 people.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Yuan Gang is still the magistrate of the county and does not have the power to kill, so he can only submit the case file layer by layer, write the criminal department, and ask the court to adjudicate.

"Crazy, crazy!"

Zheng Ci was so angry that he trembled, and he was becoming more and more unable to do anything as a criminal department scholar.

"Yuan Gang was originally a good official praised by Wenyuan Qingliu and Shilin, but he would be so ignorant, it was simply hateful!"

Zheng Ci had no choice but to ask to see Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty has promised to compile the remaining Confucian clansmen into households and include them in the Yellow Book, but Yuan Gang pursued and killed him to the end, against the holy will, and the minister thought that he should be immediately dismissed from his official position, locked in Beijing, and punished according to the law."

Zhu Di didn't care at all, but sneered: "That's what I said, but since I have become an ordinary person, I have to abide by the law, not to mention that the prince violates the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people." King Han violated the king's law, and I also acted according to the rules, why did I get to the Kong family, it was different? ”

Zheng Ci was extremely embarrassed, but he still tried to justify: "Your Majesty, now that the Holy Duke of Yan has entered Beijing, and the Kong family has left Qufu, it is no longer the past, Your Majesty is kind and generous, and you should give the Kong family a way to live, and the heart of heaven is merciful, so that the world can see Your Majesty's magnanimity......"

"Wait." Zhu Di said with a smile: "Zheng Shangshu, you said that the Confucian Mansion is no longer what it used to be, could it be that the Kong family did something, you knew before?" ”

In a word, Zheng Ci was asked.

He was so stunned that he didn't dare to reply, so he could only kneel on the ground, trembling all over.

"Minister, minister is guilty!"

Zhu Di looked at him, pondered for a moment, and said sharply: "Where is Jinyiwei?" ”

The brocade guards who had been waiting for a long time rushed in and took Zheng Ci down directly.

Then Xu Jingchang also came in.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Di said: "Zheng Ci is playing favoritism and committing fraud, shielding the Kong family in every possible way, and is no longer worthy of serving as the secretary of the Criminal Department and taking charge of a country's criminal affairs...... Do you have any recommendations? ”

Xu Jingchang was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, it's good for the minister to look at Yuan Gang, but just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also wrote a letter to let him serve as the governor of Shandong and make decisions for the people." ”

Zhu Di actually smiled, "So he has become a hot commodity?" After all, one person can't split it in half and use it as two people. Shandong is a place where Jing is difficult to be soldiered, and it is rare to have a good official, so let him stay in Shandong! I crowned him as the imperial history of the left capital, the governor of Shandong, and gave the king a flag. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Xu Jingchang was envious.

Lao Yuan, this is a step to the sky!

Now he can't even kill an ordinary person casually, he has to go through the process.

can get the royal flag, not to mention ordinary people, even if they are officials, as long as they are below the fifth grade, they can be killed!

This authority is truly astonishing.

"The minister will arrange someone to send him to Shandong immediately."

Zhu Di nodded happily.

The royal flag was sent to Qufu at the fastest speed.

Yuan Gang trembled, the whole person was excited, he knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Yingtian, bowed to the emperor, and then stood up suddenly.

"Go to the prison, carry the banner of the king's order, and the official will personally behead the criminal."

It's finally time to kill it......
