Chapter 188: The Confucian Family's Compromise and Calculation
Kong Wuming's matter has finally come to an end.
I don't know how much the Confucian family compromised, and the imperial court took the initiative to send a scholar to reconcile.
Chu Jiangyue said that this result is inevitable, the Confucian family is a family of saints in the end, and even there are many supporters in the imperial court.
Even if His Majesty dislikes the Kong family, it is impossible to destroy the Kong family directly.
That's enough.
This time, the place of the peace talks intervened by the imperial court was in the side hall next to the palace of the Taixue Mansion.
When Jiang Han arrived at the side hall, he swept his eyes and saw Yu Zhongjing, a scholar of Jixian Hall Academy, sitting in the upper seat of the hall.
The next seat is Yu Yunqi, Kong Wanrong, Kong Yong, Kong Wuming, Chu Jiangyue, and Jiang Feng are also there.
Seeing Jiang Han walk in, Kong Yong sneered slightly, Kong Wuming's face was gloomy, and there was anger and hostility in his eyes.
Kong Wanrong was expressionless.
Jiang Han bowed his hand slightly: "I've seen Yu Daru." ”
Yu Zhongjing's literary position is a university scholar, which is equivalent to the four virtues of Confucianism and Taoism, but because of his high morality, he can also be called a great Confucian.
Just like Yu Yunqi, Gu Qingqiu and others, although they are not real three-grade Confucians, they can also be called Confucians.
Yu Zhongjing smiled and twisted his beard, he had a good impression of this young man.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started." Yu Zhongjing looked around at everyone and said loudly: "Today, the imperial court meddled in the grievances between Jiang Han and the Kong family for only one thing. Jiang Han printed and distributed newspapers and published the matter of Kong Lou, which had a certain impact on the reputation of the Confucian family, but the reason was that the son of the Confucian family sacrificed a Confucian carving knife in the Confucian Mansion to kill Jiang Han, and the matter became more and more troublesome, and now the court is mediating. ”
After speaking, Scholar Yu glanced at the Kong family and Jiang Han, signaling that they could talk.
Kong Yong, who was beside Kong Wanrong, said: "The Kong family is willing to give a gentleman's treasure, three thousand taels of silver, to compensate Jiang Han, but ask Jiang Han to immediately return my Confucian carving knife of the Kong family, stop printing newspapers, and recall the newspapers sold to various places to eliminate the impact of this matter." ”
Jiang Han said directly: "If that's the case, then there's no need to talk about it, there is no sincerity at all, what else to talk about!" Am I short of this bit of silver? Let's take it back and spend it for yourselves! ”
Kong Wuming's eyes were like anger: "Jiang Han, don't get carried away!" ”
Jiang Han pretended to be surprised and said, "How can there be an enlightened child here?" Who put it out? ”
Kong Wuming's face turned blue in an instant.
Yu Daxue said: "Okay, Master Kong, the newspaper has been widely circulated now, and it is impossible to recall it, at most it is to stop printing and distributing newspapers." ”
Scholar Yu's face was gentle, and he was obviously on Jiang Han's side in this matter.
Kong Wanrong said simply: "Stop printing newspapers, how much silver do you want?" ”
He also knew that it would be impossible to recall the newspapers that had been sent out.
Jiang Han said: "Ten Jinshi Wenbao, and thirty million taels of silver and one apology from the Kong family." As for the Confucian carving knife, that's a different price. ”
"Presumptuous!"
"Jiang Han, don't get carried away!"
Kong Yong and Kong Wuming scolded one after another.
"Since you don't agree, then don't talk about it, it's better to keep this tone, and don't come to me again tomorrow when you see the second newspaper, don't be unpredictable!" Jiang Han's voice was indifferent.
"You want the newspaper to threaten my Kong family? Jiang Han, you must know that there is a price to be paid for threatening people! Don't force my Kong family to use the treasure to trigger the heavenly punishment. Kong Yong's face was gloomy, and his tone was implied to be threatening.
Jiang Feng snorted, stood up and said, "Is the Kong family sending a war letter to my Jiang family?" Well, Kong Wanrong, Kong Yong, don't leave Kyoto from now on! I will play Your Majesty now, the Kong family is treasonous, and if you want to kill the people of my Patriotic Mansion, their hearts can be punished! Let Your Majesty give me 50,000 horses, set foot on the Confucian Mansion, and wash the city of Qufu in blood! ”
As soon as these words fell, Jiang Feng's body also erupted with a majestic and surging momentum.
Kong Yong's face changed greatly, he only used threats to suppress Jiang Han's momentum, but he didn't expect Jiang Feng to fight and kill if he didn't agree with him, and he really dared to do it if he could say these words with this martial artist's brain.
The Great Xia Emperor was afraid of the Weiguo Mansion, and maybe he would really agree to this matter, so that the Weiguo Mansion and the Kong family would lose both.
Kong Wanrong's face also changed slightly, he could not be afraid of Jiang Feng, but he was afraid of the Weiguo Mansion, and immediately said: "The Kong family has no intention of going to war, why should Commander Jiang be like this?" ”
Then, he looked at Scholar Yu.
Scholar Yu's voice was gentle and calm, and he said, "Commander Jiang, sit down first, and the imperial court will mediate this matter." ”
Then he looked at Jiang Han and said, "The Confucian Carving Knife is another price, but the price of stopping the printing of newspapers is a bit high, you can give a price that the Confucian family can accept." ”
This sentence revealed that Scholar Yu didn't want Jiang Han to hand over the Confucian carving knife, or that His Majesty didn't want to see the Confucian carving knife return to the Kong family.
Jiang Han nodded, and said without hesitation: "Three Jinshi Wenbao, and thirty thousand taels of silver, and one apology from the Kong family." ”
This was the price he negotiated with Chu Jiangyue.
Kong Wanrong said in a deep voice: "This price is beyond the old man's expectations, the old man needs to pass the book to the Kong family first. ”
Scholar Yu immediately asked the Kong family to take them to another room.
……
"This Jiang Han is too presumptuous! Three pieces of Junshi Wenbao, he is simply delusional! also wants the Kong family to apologize to him, it's just looking for death! ”
In the room, Kong Wuming's face was distorted, and his eyes were full of anger.
Kong Yong's face was also gloomy.
Kong Wanrong said: "This matter is too big, the ten elders of the Kong family can't sit still, and if I don't settle this matter as soon as possible, I'm afraid that I will also be removed from the post of head of the family!" ”
Hearing this, Kong Wuming's face became even more ugly, and he couldn't imagine how a small newspaper could put the Kong family in such a situation.
Kong Wanrong said: "The ten elders of the Kong family should agree to these three conditions, and Hongyan will pass on the book." ”
Although the three gentlemen's treasures are precious, the Confucian family has a profound heritage and a big family, so they can still get it.
At this time, Kong Yong squinted his eyes and said, "Family master, I have an idea to replace the three gentleman's treasures with one virtuous treasure." ”
Kong Wanrong frowned and said, "Nonsense! Is the value of the moral treasure comparable to that of three gentlemen's treasures? ”
Junzi Wenbao is a five-grade gentleman realm with physical body and talent to raise a treasure, and the virtue realm Wenbao is raised by the four-grade moral realm.
The difference is one product, but the power is dozens of times different!
Kong Yong said: "Family master, have you forgotten the killing pen in the clan?" Although the killing pen has the ability to destroy and kill all things, it is stained with the anger of the rebellious Confucian. The bearer's temperament has changed drastically, becoming violent and murderous, or at worst, he has been influenced by the pen of breaking and killing, and has become a rebel literati. Give this killing pen to Jiang Han, and when he is affected by the killing pen, sooner or later he will become a reverse literati. At that time, the Kong family will not have to make a move, and they will have their own scholars in the world to kill them! ”
