Chapter 240: The Honest Meng Family

As a holy place of Confucianism, Qufu is not only the Confucian family, but also the descendants of Mencius, who are respected as sub-sages, but although the Meng family also has a lot of strength, it is difficult to go out even in their own county.

There is no way, they are too close to the Kong family, and the way to buy land is completely blocked by the Kong family, and all the number of good fields are basically held by the Kong family, so the relationship between the Meng family and the Kong family is not very good.

Mon Province.

Meng Zhang was sitting in the study reading, and from time to time he picked up a teacup and tasted tea.

"Brother, it's not good, the government has sent someone to clear my family's fields." Meng Qi, a brother of the same clan, hurriedly ran to inform the news.

Meng Zhang sat there and said calmly.

"If the government wants to clear it, let them clear it, anyway, we don't have much land."

"But what should I do if I pay taxes later, do I really come according to the requirements of the government?"

Meng Zhang glanced at Meng Qi and asked.

"So what do you want to do? Rebellion fails? ”

Meng Qi was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"I didn't mean that, I just felt a little distressed."

"Can you have the Kong family distressed?"

Speaking of the Kong family, Meng Qi gloated unabashedly.

"Hehe, the Kong family is unlucky this time, more than half of the land they have occupied over the years has been forced to spit out, and many family children have been arrested."

Meng Zhang shook his head and said.

"They deserve it!"

The Meng family really can't look down on the Confucian family next to each other, the atmosphere of the main Confucian family is too bad, the children of the Confucian family have always liked fish and meat people, they don't even read much, and they don't even have a person.

This made the Meng family extremely disdainful, but they were also descendants of saints, they didn't read books, and they did so many bad things, which really smeared the ancestors' faces.

It is said that the Kong family in the Ming Dynasty has never produced a character who can be on the stage, and the Meng family has produced two jinshi, and they have both become high-ranking officials, and the gap between the two can be imagined.

Meng Qi was still talking there.

"This time, it seems that it is still Jinyiwei's people who came out to clear the Kong family's field, and the Kong family also instigated tenants to confront Jinyiwei before, and they are too bold."

Meng Zhang was flipping through the book, "Jinyiwei? ”

Meng Qi still said excitedly: "Yes, don't you know, the scene at that time was very big, it is said that the Kong family dispatched more than 3,000 people, and they did not fight the 500 people of the Jinyi Guard." ”

Meng Zhang raised his eyebrows and concluded.

"Then this time the matter is definitely not over, you tell the clansmen to be careful, don't cause any trouble."

"Ah, how so? Didn't Jinyiwei just come to Qingtian? ”

Meng Qi asked with some curiosity.

"Your Majesty will let Jinyiwei simply come out of Qingtian? Even if it was originally yes, but now that the Kong family slapped Jinyiwei in the face, Jinyiwei would be so honest and do nothing? ”

"Jinyiwei, the minions of the Son of Heaven, where can you easily offend."

Meng Qi nodded a little ignorantly.

"Just watch, the show is still to come."

Wang Shen brought more than 100 Jinyi Wei and some students of Zhixing Academy to end the Qingtian Movement in Mengjia Village in harmony.

Meng Qi was a little curious and approached the students of Zhixing Academy, who looked obviously different from Jinyiwei, and asked.

"You shouldn't be from Jinyiwei, right? How are you helping Jinyiwei do things? ”

It was also because Qingtian was smooth that the people of the academy said a few more words, explained their relationship with He Qiu, and proudly said that He Qiu had taught them the knowledge in Zhixing Academy before.

Meng Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this, he had lived a good life since he was a child, he had money and leisure, and he couldn't read the Confucian classics well, and he had a headache when he saw it.

Now that Zhixing Academy teaches these, geography, physics and other knowledge are much more interesting than the Four Books and Five Classics, Meng Qi, who is full of heart, can't wait to find Meng Zhang after these people left with Wang Shen.

"Big brother, I want to go to study at Zhixing Academy in Beiping."

Meng Zhang asked a little strangely.

"Zhixing Academy? What kind of place is that, you don't study hard in ethnology, can you study hard when you run there? ”

Meng Qi excitedly told Meng Zhang about what he had inquired about before, and then he realized that the students of Zhixing Academy were the ones who came to help Jinyi Wei Qingtian.

Meng Zhang carefully recalled the behavior of that group of people, which can be regarded as a courtesy, and counting these, even if Meng Qi is not good at learning, he can help take care of the family's accounts when he comes back.

Meng Zhang nodded in agreement.

Not to mention the excitement in Meng Qi's heart here, He Qiu has already received a report from the informant, the Kong family has not changed the tablet of the god in the family temple until now, and it is still the title of the Yuan Dynasty.

He Qiu sneered in his heart, he was quite bold, and he didn't know if he could resist Zhu Yuanzhang's anger.

He Qiu took Wang Shen to find Chen Mo, and several people discussed there in private.

Chen Mo asked with some curiosity, "What's going on?" ”

Even if the Qingtian work in Shandong is completed, all that remains is the finishing work, and he is already planning to say goodbye to He Qiu, but he didn't expect He Qiu to suddenly come to the door today.

He Qiu briefly told the two of them about the matter, Chen Mo was furious, but he still endured it, and decided to let Jin Yiwei verify it in private, and he went to test it himself.

Chen Mo quickly found several craftsmen and asked them to make a new Confucius tablet, and then asked one of his imperial historians to beat gongs and drums and send them to the Confucian Temple, saying that this was specially made by the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court and given to the Confucian family.

After a few more days, Jinyiwei had already received a report that all the Confucian family's god cards had been replaced, and even Chen Mo's subordinates also had Confucian scholars who told him about it.

Chen Mo was disappointed, the Kong family was really not afraid of death, so he wrote an excerpt overnight and sent it to the capital, reported it to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then asked He Qiu to take Wang Shen and other Jinyi guards to take everyone in the Confucian Mansion.

He Qiu didn't bother much, he selected more than a dozen capable brocade guards, put on the clothes of the people, and rushed directly to Qufu.

The next morning, he had already hurried to the Confucian Temple, and He Qiu directly asked the people of Jinyi Wei to draw their swords and all rushed to the Confucian Temple.

The Kong family didn't react at all, they could only watch them rush in in a daze, and after rushing in for a long time, the disciples of the Kong family shouted: "A thief has rushed into the Confucian Temple, it's not good!" ”

By the time the Kong family mobilized, picked up various tools as weapons, and rushed into the Confucian Temple, He Qiu had already entered the main hall of the Confucian Temple with the Jinyi Guard.

He Qiu was happy when he saw it, it was true, there was a tablet of 'Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan King' here, not 'Holy Ancestor'.

He Qiu stood in place and waited, waiting for the people of the Kong family to also come to the main hall, looked at the leader and asked.

"Are you planning to rebel against the Kong family in Qufu?"

The children of the Kong family who had just rushed in were at a loss, so they could only temporarily surround He Qiu and them, and find someone to quickly report to the elders of the clan.
