Kong Yanle, who was fifteen years old, was sent to the capital by the Kong family and asked to see Zhu Yuanzhang and ask for marriage.

Without waiting for the Kong family to rejoice for a long time, He Qiu came to the door again and went straight to the Confucian Temple.

At this time, even Kong Xixue panicked, and the brothers hurriedly rushed to the Confucian Temple with some people.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Several brothers of the Kong family urged one after another.

The sedan chair driver who helped them carry the sedan chair was tired, but he could only grit his teeth and speed up the sprint.

After running for a while, the sedan chair man gasped and said, "Uncle, the Confucian Temple has arrived." ”

Kong Xixue opened the sedan curtain, and at a glance saw a large group of people surrounding in front of him, urging the sedan chair man to stop the dumplings, and the brothers hurried to the Confucian Temple, for fear that something would happen.

He Qiu was in front of the Confucian Temple with more than 100 brocade guards, confronting the people of the Confucian family with weapons, and this group of Confucian family members did not dare to act rashly, but just stopped He Qiu from the Confucian Temple, and gathered a circle of onlookers around.

He Qiu looked coldly at the group of people from the Confucian Mansion in front of him and spoke.

"Don't you want to resist the decree? Are you ready to rebel? ”

He Qiu came this time to dismantle the statue of Confucius in the Temple of Confucius, such a big move, of course these people from the Confucian family did not dare to let him in.

As for the people around them, many of them are also surnamed Kong, but just like the clan of the Ming Dynasty in the later period, although they are all a family, as the blood relationship continues to thinn, the feelings are also very weak.

What's more, there are always good and bad mixed people in this person, and the ordinary Confucian disciples are undoubtedly the slaves of the main sect in Qufu and have been exploited by them.

Hearing that He Qiu was coming to destroy their ancestral statues, these people were not in a hurry at all, and they were still happily watching the excitement, so they almost applauded.

However, some of the well-mixed Kong disciples spontaneously gathered together and wanted to confront He Qiu.

Kong Xiyong ran out of breath and came to He Qiu, holding his knees and panting heavily.

"Ho...... My lord, why ...... this?"

He Qiu looked at Kong Xixue coldly and said.

"I received a report from someone that the Confucius sculptures in the Temple of Confucius have not been demolished yet, isn't this against Your Majesty?"

"No...... Can't. ”

"Then you won't give way and let me go and dismantle the statue?"

Kong Xi was anxious, and hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Wait a minute, let me take a breath and discuss ...... with them"

didn't wait for him to catch his breath for long, Kong Xixue finally showed up.

He Qiuyi said strangely when he saw Kong Xixue.

"Oh, isn't this the Prophet of the Presendrite? You're finally showing up today? It seems that you are more difficult to see than Your Majesty. ”

Kong Xixue found a reason to skimmer and explained.

"This ...... I have been sick in bed before I got down, and it is really inconvenient to see guests. ”

Kong Xi said with a sigh of relief.

"Lord He, the statue of this Confucian Temple has been standing here for a long time, and it is not a matter for the imperial court to demolish it at once."

"Can we delay for a few days, hold a ceremony, and invite the statue of the ancestor out of the Confucian Temple."

Kong Xi's abacus is very good, as long as He Qiu doesn't continue to investigate today, fool him away first, and then who else dares to touch the Confucian Temple?

He Qiu said with a cold smile.

"Dare to ask how long has the Kong family been receiving the holy decree?"

"This ...... It's been more than twenty days. ”

"I haven't done it for more than twenty days, and you make me believe that you will take the statue away later?"

Kong Xixue said angrily.

"Demolishing the statue of Confucius will be played by traitors, I must play Your Majesty, let him severely punish traitors!"

He Qiu looked at Kong Xixue carefully and said.

"I also have a part in the demolition of the statue of Confucius, and Song Lian and other great Confucians have been mentioned before in the court, could it be that we are all traitors?"

Kong Xixue was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "My Kong family has no grievances with you, why are you so targeting us!" ”

He Qiu said calmly.

"Dare to ask the Kong family's statue of Kong Sheng, is it made according to the face of Kong Sheng?"

"My lord laughed, the ancestors have been away from the world for thousands of years, how can there still be the appearance of the ancestors."

"But we are also based on Wu Daozi's portrait of Confucius Sheng."

"Portrait of Wu Daozi? Has Wu Daozi ever seen Kong Sheng? ”

Kong Xixue was very angry, and He Qiu said nonsense.

"Of course not, Kong Sheng is a person from the pre-Qin Dynasty, Wu Daozi is from the Tang Dynasty, how can he have seen a saint, don't joke about the saint!"

He Qiu's face also turned cold.

"It is the custom of the Hu people to make a statue of the ancestors, and there has never been such a thing in the Han classics, but it is just a Buddhist statue of Buddha and fighting for incense."

"And as a descendant of a saint, it's just a matter of not learning the Han classics, and you have to erect a statue of the saint and be tainted with nonsense, are you still a descendant of the saint?!"

"What's more, this statue is just a copy of the portrait made up by Wu Daozi, and I don't know how much difference it is from the real Confucian appearance, so many years, you have been worshiping such a Confucius in the imagination of others, isn't this a random recognition of the ancestors!"

"Or do you really think Kong Sheng looks like this?!"

"This ......" Kong Xixue was powerless to refute what He Qiu said on the phone, and his face turned red.

He Qiu looked at them with some disdain in his heart, even He Qiu himself had studied the knowledge of Confucius and Zhuzi in order to teach modern knowledge, but the Kong family had not even seen it, how could they argue with him?

He Qiu had a pride in his heart, and he didn't look at Kong Xixue's brothers, and shouted.

"Tear it down!"

"If someone dares to stop it, it is disrespectful, and anyone in my brocade clothes can be killed on the spot! If someone dares to do it, it is to attack the official errand, it is to rebel, and the whole family will be killed together! ”

As soon as He Qiu's words came out, the children of the Kong clan who had stopped in front of the Confucian Temple before were a little timid, and they didn't know whether He Qiu dared to make a move in front of the Confucian Temple.

But after thinking about it carefully, He Qiu didn't seem to be a scholar at all, and Kong Sheng probably didn't have that much deterrent power in his eyes, so he still gave way one after another.

Looking at the tall statue of Confucius in the Temple of Confucius, He Qiu spoke.

"Demolition!"

The brocade guards behind him were full of red light with excitement, it was really beautiful, since Zhu Yuanzhang cleaned the brocade guards before, their group of people have been carrying their tails to be people.

Even before, Jin Yiwei didn't dare to control the price, how could he now follow He Qiu to challenge the arrogance of the Kong family.

"Boom."

The sculpture of Confucius was pushed by this group of brocade guards, and the wood is indeed good wood, but it is useless to them now, and it is not bad to take it home to chop wood and burn it.

He Qiu looked at the group of Kong family members around him and said.

"This kind of sculpture, Hu customs, as a descendant of the saints, must not abandon the Confucian righteous path, run to learn Hu customs and customs, in the future, you can do it yourself!"

The Kong Xixue brothers sat on the ground, looking at the broken statues on the ground stupidly, without saying a word.

He Qiu led the Jinyi guard away, and asked quietly while following his Wang Shen to the door of the Confucian Mansion.

"My lord, is this the end of the matter?"

He Qiu's words just now seemed to be no longer aimed at the Kong family, so Wang Shen asked.

He Qiu smiled mysteriously, "The show is still to come!" ”
