Chapter 244: Excited Kong Sipu
Kong Sipu is already a half-hundred-year-old man, and after Tou Ming, he was recruited as the counselor of the Quzhou General Commander, and later resigned due to illness, and now teaches his juniors at home.
Because Kong Sipu understands very well that although they often claim to be the blood of Kong Sheng, but in the end they failed to attack the Holy Duke of Jue Yan, if they don't want to become civilians in the future, they can only study more and become officials, so as to keep the lintel from falling.
Kong Sipu was enlightening the disciples of the clan and teaching the Analects, when suddenly a servant came to report.
"Master, someone outside asks to see him, but he doesn't hand over the name post, he just says that he is from the court."
Kong Sipu said with a frown.
"Of the imperial court? The people of the court should not be so sneaky, this is too rude, I don't see! ”
The servant tactfully reminded Kong Sipu.
"Master, I see that this person is very popular, I'm afraid it's really a person from the imperial court, I can't say that there is anything important to discuss with you, master."
Kong Sipu's heart turned a thousand times, and finally said.
"Then meet him and invite him to the mansion for a while."
Kong Sipu handed over the genealogy to the rest of the clan in advance, and paced to the living room by himself.
Not long after, a strong and capable young man walked into Kong's living room, and when he saw Kong Sipu, he bowed his hand.
"I've seen Yiyun Dao people."
Kong Sipu's face was colorful, the title of this young man really scratched his itch, after he resigned from the office, he called himself Yiyun Daoren, in addition to teaching the disciples in the clan every day, he was running around the mountains and rivers, and he was happy.
But soon Kong Sipu came to his senses and asked quickly.
"You are so rude, you say that you are an official of the court, but you don't hand over the post, and you don't tell me your name when you see me, do you want to humiliate me?"
The capable young man took out a waist tag from his waist, handed it to Kong Sipu, and said in his mouth.
"Please also ask the people of Yiyun Road to retreat."
Kong Sipu's eyes shrank when he saw this waist card, Jinyiwei? Hurriedly let all the servants around him go down.
When there were only the two of them left in the living room, Kong Sipu asked in a mess.
"This hundred households, Jinyi Wei suddenly came to my Kong family, what are you doing?"
All kinds of speculations flashed in Kong Sipu's heart, it shouldn't be that my Kong family committed some crime, right? Looking at the hundred households of this brocade guard, it doesn't look like they are coming to get people.
The hundred households in front of Kong Sipu said.
"On the secret order of His Majesty, I specially came to Quzhou, so that my lord would know that not long ago, the Confucius Temple in Qufu was set on fire and the main hall collapsed."
Kong Sipu was not stupid at all, when he heard that the Confucian Temple was set on fire, he could understand why Zhu Yuanzhang beat himself in the face and asked people to come to them again.
This fire must have been set by the group of 'relatives' of their Northern Sect, setting fire to their own ancestral temple, but there are really theirs!
Kong Sipu was shocked and hurriedly asked.
"What the hell is going on?"
This hundred households did not hide it, and told all the open and secret battles between Shandong and the Kong family a few days ago, and the more Kong Sipu listened, the more frightened he became, this group of people from Northern Kong was obviously dying.
Following the name of the king of the previous dynasty, resisted Qingtian, violently besieged and killed the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and burned the main hall of the Confucian Temple...... This is a capital crime!
It seems that His Majesty wants to move the North Kong, so what is the ...... to find our South Kong at this time
Kong Sipu's heart was a little hot, his eyes lit up, and he asked kindly.
"Then why did Your Majesty ask you to come to our Nankong?"
This hundred households said with a smile.
"The Northern Kong line has committed such a heinous crime, Your Majesty and the princes of the court can't bear it, and they plan to go from Nankong to Qufu to the throne of the Holy Duke."
These words made Kong Sipu's blood boil, since the Southern Song Dynasty, what they wanted in their hearts was to restore the title of Duke of Yansheng, but in the Yuan Dynasty, they couldn't compare, so they could only let the knight.
This is also a big hatred in Nankong's heart, but there is no way, who made Beikong kneel early, and he picked up the thigh of the Mongols early, which is beyond their Nanzong.
Although there is such a big temptation, Kong Sipu is a person who has been an official and has fought in the war, and now he can still settle down and continue to ask.
"Your Majesty has decreed before, so that my Southern Sect and the Northern Sect are not allowed to compete for the title, if we make trouble, I'm afraid Your Majesty's face will not look good."
"As long as the adults can benefit the township and make a good name, Your Majesty will have other arrangements, but you don't need to jump out to fight for the title."
Kong Sipu was overjoyed and nodded heavily.
"Good!"
The imperial court considered it so intimately, if they had anything else to say in Nanzong, they didn't need to come forward themselves, so even if they didn't get what they wanted in the end, I believe that the imperial court would not treat them badly.
When this brocade guard left Quzhou, Kong Sipu immediately recruited his brother Kong Sizhen, and the two discussed how to fulfill the family's wish for more than a hundred years faster.
Kong Sizhen listened to Kong Sipu's words, and he was also extremely excited, their years of operation have not been in vain!
Compare the North and South Confucius, there are three people in the generation of the South Confucius, who are appointed as officials in the Kaoming Sutra, although they are just the teachings of the counties, but look at the group of rotten people in the North Confucius, the gap during the period can be imagined.
Kong Sizhen said happily to Kong Sipu.
"I think this matter should be linked to the reform promoted by His Majesty, and we will generously announce that we will give up part of the fertile land and distribute it to the poor people in the state capital."
Kong Sipu thought about it for a long time, gritted his teeth and decided to do it! However, this matter is relatively big, but they don't dare to let the rest of the clan know before there is a result, so they can only try to persuade a group of clan elders of the Kong clan.
Kong Sipu soon announced that he would donate thousands of acres of private land in the clan to the government, and the government would recruit poor people to cultivate.
This move can be called a sensation, since the imperial court implemented the reform, no one has given up their own land, support the reform, Nankong is the first.
Soon, Nankong received a commendation from the state government, and the people in the township also praised them, saying that they were worthy of being descendants of Confucius and sympathetic to the people.
Mainly because these thousands of acres don't look like much, but this is more than half of the land in Nankong, and they are not as rich as Beikong, so this move can be regarded as donating half of the family property to the government.
Although Kong Sipu was the patriarch of Southern Confucius, he had a very high prestige, and he had reluctantly persuaded the clansmen to donate land before, but they didn't know that they wanted to donate so much.
All of a sudden, the accusations against Kong Sipu in the Southern Confucian clan were also higher and higher, and some people even scolded him in private for being old and confused.
Kong Sizhen saw the scolding of these people, and everyone was angry, obviously Kong Sipu was doing this for the good of Nankong, but in exchange for all kinds of infamy in the clan.
Kong Sizhen wanted to argue with this group of clansmen, but Kong Sipu stopped him, Kong Sipu was the one who went through the wind and waves, this little scene couldn't scare him, he said to Kong Sizhen earnestly.
"Gandao, you're too Gengjie, it's not a good thing! Now the people are scolding me just because they don't know the inside story, so they have some doubts. ”
"There's a reason for that, and you can't blame your own family for that. What's more, I also inquired, many of them did not scold me for donating land, but scolded me for donating too much, and in order to support hope, I couldn't ignore the life and death of the poor children in the clan. ”
"You see, they're all still knowledgeable."
Kong Sizhen's face was shocked, and he bowed to Kong Sipu with some shame.
"The little brother knows that he is wrong."
