Chapter 282: It's over, go back to Beijing and see the situation
Outside of Kong Lin, there are more than 1,000 people reading around alone.
When the boxes of things were dug out of the grave, except for the people from the Yansheng Mansion, who began to tremble, the rest of them became extremely angry.
Co-authored Yan Sheng Mansion to play with us as fools, can this be endured?
The people who originally supported the Yan Sheng Mansion instantly changed the target of the spitting stars, and pointed the finger at Kong Renqiao, who had been detained by the forbidden army.
"The holy land of Confucianism has been regarded as a place to hide filth and dirt by your unfilial descendants, and you are the ones who will be cut by a thousand knives!"
"I'm so blind that I have listened to you rebels, and have come all the way to help, not wanting to become an accomplice."
"A thousand cuts will not atone for his sins!"
"Then sink the pond!"
"Burn them!"
The excitement of the crowd was even more intense than when Xia Jiang was tied to the firewood.
Jia Cong looked at Xu Jin, the teacher with a sad and angry face on the side, and secretly sighed in his heart that Jiang was still old and spicy, and after today, the reputation of Yansheng Mansion would be gone.
The imperial court then took advantage of the situation to divide the power of the Confucian family in Qufu, gradually implemented the reform of Confucianism, and increased support for the doctrine of the hundred schools. In the future, it will be much easier to control public opinion in the government and the opposition or to change the law and new policies.
Lin Wai's scholars, who originally spit at the official mansion, have now changed their spearhead to the Yansheng Mansion, but Chen Baoliang did not feel relaxed at this time, but his forehead and black back were in a cold sweat.
Is Kong Renxuan crazy? He dared to move the holy tomb of Sage Kong?
"Your Excellency? My lord? Adults......"
The captain shouted several times, and Chen Baoliang's lips began to tremble. He pleaded and looked at Jia Cong, who was actually in control of this place, but saw that Jia Cong was helping Kong Xiangan with an angry and sad face to comfort him with words.
"Dig it, it's all like this, it's better to check it all at once. At that time, we will not be blamed. It was he who disturbed the Holy Tomb first, what do we have to do with it?"
Song Zhaolin looked at the excited crowd outside the forest, and then quietly glanced at the whispering officials on the side, and persuaded Chen Baoliang a few words.
When Chen Baoliang heard this, he finally had some confidence, and gritted his teeth and said, "Dig! Dig up the bottom of the matter, and I'll see how much these rebels are hiding!"
Perhaps the people of the Yansheng Mansion were still a little afraid, and the secret room next to the Holy Tomb was not really dug into the tomb of Confucius, but it was only a wall away.
In the huge secret room, there are too many things hidden enough to cut down the nine clans of the Kong family.
Not to mention the armor, the crown, green dragon robe, royal seal and so on that the previous dynasty gave to the Yansheng Mansion were placed in front of everyone.
"Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan King......
This royal seal was given to the Confucian family in Qufu by Confucius after the former chieftain, and he didn't want to be hidden in the secret room of Konglin.
Jia Cong held up the golden seal and looked at it for a moment, then sighed, "Even if the saint is in the sky, it is estimated that he can't sleep because of this golden seal. The Kong family is really 'filial sons and virtuous grandsons, and they actually buried the royal seal given by this captive chief on the edge of the holy mausoleum.'"
Syllable!
Xu Jin saw Kong Xiangan's face flushed, and slapped his apprentice's brain, stopping his yin and yang weirdness.
"Mr. Huaili also asks for forgiveness for sins, the little apprentice is stubborn, and the younger generation will teach him well when he goes back......
Kong Xiang'an shook his head bitterly: "He didn't say anything wrong, in the final analysis, it was my Kong clan who was blinded by glory and wealth and forgot the will of my ancestors. That's it, how can the old man still have the face to continue to stay here, how can he be qualified to wear this official uniform given by the court."
"Sir, don't ......"
Without waiting for Xu Jin and the others to stop him, Kong Xiangan took off the crown of hair on his head on the spot, took off the purple sacrificial dress on his body, folded it respectfully, and handed it to the stunned Xu Jin.
Then he knelt on the ground to the north, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and said sadly: "Sinner Kong Xiang'an, from today onwards, I will marry Kong Lin and wait for Your Majesty to deal with it!"
Hundreds of scholars surrounded the Yansheng Mansion, and the excited and angry crowd continued to storm the Yansheng Mansion.
In the past, he was known as the Confucian saint
If the Yansheng Mansion of the land had not been guarded by the forbidden army at this time, it might have been flattened by the angry crowd.
The people who were still complaining about the Confucian family in Qufu began to ask the court to kill the Confucian family who insulted the saints.
"The saint is the saint of the world's scholars, not the saint of his Confucian family!"
"Confucianism is the Confucianism of the whole world, not the Confucianism of the Yansheng Mansion!"
"Remove the lord and remove the official, a thousand cuts!"
"Kong Lin's 100,000 tombs, the place where the ancestors rest, how can they hide filth and dirt?"
"Qufu Confucius family, only Mr. Huaili is respectable!"
"Yes, yes, no wonder Mr. Huaili was not affected by the rice grain of the Holy Mansion, and Mr. Huaili's heart was like a mirror, and he should be the true descendant of the saint."
Among the angry crowd, there were indeed people who sincerely complained for Confucianism, but more of them were angry after being played by the Yansheng Mansion.
This feeling of being fooled and teased made this group of pretentious scholars unable to suppress the anger in their hearts, and after being slightly provoked by someone with a heart, they joined forces to complete a 10,000-word recital, which went to the Qufu County Ya, and handed it over to Chen Baoliang, the chief prosecutor of Shandong, who presided over the case of the Confucian family, and Song Zhaolin, the inspector of the imperial history.
There are 10,000 words in the book, but there are only two things.
The first is to invite the king, in addition to the title and official position of the Holy Mansion, and the second is to elect Kong Xiang'an, the sacrificial officer of the Holy Ancestor, to take charge of Confucius's family affairs and be responsible for the worship and management of the Holy Mausoleum, Confucian Temple, and Confucian Forest.
"If you dismiss an official or remove a knight, you will definitely remove an official or a knight. But it's not appropriate to recommend Kong Xiangan to preside over the matter of the Kong family in Qufu."
Chen Baoliang handed the book of ten thousand words to Song Zhaolin and the others on the side, shook his head and said, "Mr. Huaili is indeed highly respected, but he is a distant branch of the Confucian clan, even if he is a branch of the Confucian clan, he will be punished for all the crimes, and it will not be Mr. Huaili's turn, Quzhou still has a Southern Confucian lineage."
According to the practice of previous dynasties, the heir to the title of Yansheng Gong will only be selected in the Yan branch, and both the south and north Kong have the bloodline of the Yan branch, so I think it will be the same this time.
Is the case involved in the Yansheng Mansion big? Big, big, big.
But in the eyes of the world, even if a large number of soldiers and armor were found in Konglin, the imperial court still would not really punish the Qufu Kong family to the nine clans.
Thousands of years of habits have made the people of the world have a consensus, how can there be no Yan Shenggong in the world? It's like the world can't live without an emperor.
"Send it to the capital, it's not up to us to call the shots."
Jia Cong rarely put forward his own opinions, and Chen Baoliang and Song Zhaolin nodded one after another.
Six hundred miles were rushed to the capital, and Wanyanshu went with the Yansheng Mansion branch who asked the emperor to detain him in Beijing, and asked the three divisions to take over the case.
The matter involves many wealthy families such as the Yan Shenggong Mansion, the Loyal Wangfu, and the Zhen family in Jiangnan, and the case is too big, where can it be done by a small inspector and a patrol according to the imperial history.
Kong Xiang'an changed into coarse linen clothes, built a thatched house in Kong Lin, and every day he either worshiped the sages of Kong Lin or recited Confucian classics, and the affairs of the academy were left to other professors to take care of.
Xu Jin once took Jia Cong to visit Kong Lin, but was also blocked by Kong Xiangan.
There are many people who visit Kong Xiang'an, some who sincerely come to comfort and visit, and many who take the opportunity to come to burn the cold stove.
However, the old man turned it away, and set up a sign at Kong Linyi's door, with eight characters on it: "Wear a sinful body, only ask for atonement!"
Xu Jin's master and apprentice stood outside the Yimen and looked at the grass house in the distance, and finally sighed and left.
The files, evidence and other materials related to this case were all sealed, and after Xu Jin gave some careful instructions, he ordered Jia Cong to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Shandong's affairs can already be said to have been decided, and the rest of the matter should be done by him, the teacher, and Liu Ke, the king of Zhongshun, in person.
Kong Lin's matter quickly burned to the capital like a prairie fire, and after the six-hundred-mile urgent document was placed on the emperor's desk, the officials of the six cabinet ministries entered the Qinzheng Palace to discuss matters.
The emperor was furious, and ordered the dragon guards to seal up the Confucian Mansion in the capital, and banned all the people of the Confucian family, including Kong Renxuan, the Holy Duke of Yan.
At the same time, the three divisions of the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple were ordered to be tried at the same time, and Shandong was ordered to escort the people involved in the Yansheng Mansion into Beijing, and ordered Kong Xiang'an, the priest of Zhicheng Ancestor, to temporarily take charge of the Confucian affairs and wait for the will of the imperial court.
Wait for the ministers to retreat
After that, the emperor was silent for a long time.
"Alas, I didn't expect this matter to involve the dog of the old fourteenth, I originally wanted to spare his life in front of my father, but now it seems that he is too uninteresting."
Xia Shouzhong didn't dare to answer this, and was silent.
The Emperor raised his head and glared at him, "You old thing, you talk a lot on weekdays, this will be like me pretending to be dumb."
Xia Shouzhong squeezed out a wry smile: "The emperor's words, the old slave can't take it!"
The two have known each other for half their lives, and the emperor also understands that this matter is not something that Xia Shouzhong, a slave, dares to get involved, so he changed the topic with a smile and scolded the old man.
"Xia Jiang can't go back to Beijing, you go to the Inner Mansion Division to take a look, withdraw our people, and take advantage of this matter to send all the rest to the Imperial Prison, and see who has mixed sand with the Inner Mansion Division. This time, Qufu's case has solved a lot of trouble for me, you go to Yikun Palace and ask the Yang family to give something to Rongguo Mansion. Isn't the old lady of his family sick, so give me more warm things."
Knock knock knock......
In the morning bell and dusk drums, Jia Cong and his entourage hurried slowly, and only rushed back to the capital on the evening of March 30.
After entering the city, night has fallen, the palace door has been locked, and it is impossible to enter the palace to reinvent the decree, Jia Cong can only send the fold of the reinstatement into the palace through the hanging basket, waiting for the emperor's will.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the emperor came from the city, telling him to go home first and rest for a day, and then order him to enter the palace for an audience the day after tomorrow.
On the way back to the house, Jia Cong was still thinking about the strangeness in this edict, and it was said that he knew better about the affairs of Qufu, why the emperor was not in a hurry to see him.
After he returned to Rongguo Mansion, he learned from Jia Jing, who was waiting for him in the mansion, that the capital was now discussing things and was waiting to see what the court would do with the Kong family.
But the emperor is "sick" again, the crown prince Liu Hong is sick, and the affairs of the Kong family have been handed over to the cabinet to deal with.
It is the first day of tomorrow, which will be presided over by Wei Qinghe, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, and will discuss the affairs of the Confucian family.
Let Jia Cong hide for a day, this is because he doesn't want him to get involved, and no one knows if it will have any bad effects after severely punishing the Qufu Kong family.
Hiss! The emperor really knows how to play!
didn't have time to say too much, Jia Jing went back to Dongfu to arrange the affairs of the clan, Jia Cong hastily washed up, changed his clothes and went to Rongxi Hall to greet the old lady.
Old man Jing just said that the old lady is very worried about his grandson these days. No matter why he was worried, he had to bear it.
After entering the city, Jia Cong sent his own soldiers to report to his home, including the children and girls of the family who were waiting in Rongxi Hall.
The front hall had a rich meal, and the old lady was still in good spirits today, and a smile appeared on her face when she saw Jia Cong come in.
"You, if you don't come back, I'm going to have someone catch you."
Jia Cong knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye, and smiled and responded: "My grandson asks my grandmother to say goodbye, and I can't serve my filial piety when I am sent by the emperor, so I hope that my grandmother will forgive her sins."
"Hurry up, where will I blame you."
The old lady signaled, and the mandarin duck stepped forward to help Jia Cong get up. The old lady looked up and down and continued, "It's dark, and she's thin. I don't want you to come back to serve you, it's really a family affair that can't be separated from your father and son......
Halfway through speaking, Jia Cong's stomach growled.
The old lady smiled, stopped nagging and instructed her servants to serve the food, and a bunch of grandchildren gathered around the round table to accompany the old lady to dinner.
Jia Cong didn't talk about Shandong, but acted as a listener, and Jia Baoyu told interesting things in Beijing.
The dinner lasted nearly an hour, and it was only at the end of the day that it was gone.
Jia Cong didn't have time to whisper something to Daiyu in the same month, so he was left alone by the old lady.
The mandarin duck served tea for Jia Cong to relieve his fatigue.
The old lady waved her hand and retreated to the servant woman in the house, and then she opened her mouth to ask about Shandong.
Jia Cong did not hide it, from the siege of Yanzhou to the major case in Qufu, he talked about it in detail one by one.
Rongguo Mansion can receive the imperial court's mansion report, but the content of the mansion report is not as detailed as Jia Cong's description.
The look on the old lady's face gradually became solemn, and finally she sighed: "I don't understand the affairs of scholars, but the Confucian family in Qufu has been glorified for thousands of years, even if it involves rebellion this time, in the end, the imperial court will not really punish the nine clans. Your teacher is right, the Kong family can't do it, at most it's someone who changes the main thing. The Southern Confucius Dynasty has not been involved in the affairs of the Northern Confucius, and it seems that the position of the head of the Confucian family is the same Mr. Huaili nine times out of ten."
Tut......
I have to say that the old lady's eyes are very poisonous, and she touched the key point of the matter at once.
Chen Baoliang also secretly sent a letter to Quzhou, wanting to hug Nankong's thigh in advance, but he didn't know that Nankong's people had already expressed their attitude to the emperor, and they didn't plan to go north to pick up Beikong's mess at all.
Sure enough, people will become stupid if they stay in Shandong for a long time, and the three products are not as clear as the old lady at home.
"Your teacher is a personal ***, and he has woven a protective net for you one step earlier, so that you can be protected from the influence of this matter. But don't be careless, since it involves the Loyal Palace, the Zhen family, maybe someone will hold a grudge against you."
The old lady thought about it again and again, but she still didn't worry about this trouble-loving grandson, and solemnly instructed, "Don't go out these days, stay at home well." I think that there will be a lot of wind and rain in Beijing, so let's stick to the door, don't get involved in anything, and wait for everything to calm down."
Jia Cong grinned and complimented: "People often say that if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, with your protection, the grandson is much more at ease. It's bustling outside, and tomorrow's dynasty doesn't know how big a deal will happen."
Mrs. Rongguofu has not recovered from her illness, and Jia Cong, who has just returned to Beijing from Shandong, closed her door to thank her guests and concentrate on serving her illness.
There are many people who want to inquire about Shandong from Jia Cong, and they can't even enter the gate of Rongguo Mansion.
On the first day of April, the first day of the court meeting, after the Jingyang bell rang, the ministers entered the Fengtian Temple. There was no one on the throne, the emperor and the crown prince did not appear, and Wei Qinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, and the high seat of the Taishi chair, the Ministry of Punishment first reported the progress of the Kong family's case.
This is a big case, but the facts of the case are simple. Not to mention anything else, judging from the evidence dug up by those soldiers from under Kong Lin, Qi Qi pointed to the loyal king Liu Xi and the Zhen family in Jiangnan.
The emperor's Longshou Palace was forbidden to enter and exit one step earlier, not to mention the courtiers, even Liu Chen, who had already panicked, wanted to ask for mercy, but he couldn't enter the gate of the Longshou Palace.
Today's dynasty, when the third division put a rebellious hat on his head, Liu Xi immediately became angry and scolded.
He has the intention of rebellion, but he really doesn't know anything about the armor buried in Kong Lin and the "fake jade seal of the country"!
Seeing that Wei Qinghe, who presided over the dynasty, acquiesced in the three divisions' conviction of himself, Liu Xin directly pointed at Wei Qinghe and scolded: "What does the things buried in his Kong family have to do with this king? Wei Qinghe, this king knows that you have always looked down on me, but if you want to buckle your hat for this king, you are not qualified......
Wei Qinghe frowned, and said coldly: "Come on, drag Liu Xi out, confine the palace, and wait for the court to fall. The dragon guards have guarded the palace of the faithful king to this cabinet, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without the decree of the cabinet!"
"What are you? It's just one of my Liu's dogs......
Liu Chen was so angry that he snatched the big golden gourd of the golden gourd warrior in the palace and wanted to smash it at Wei Qinghe.
But seeing that Wei Qinghe only had one look, the Han general restrained him.
"Gagged and dragged out!"
An official from Liu Xian's family stood up and said that this move was not in line with the rules of the imperial court, Wei Qinghe stood up directly, looked at the man with cold eyes, and smiled.
I saw Wei Qinghe turn his gaze to Liu Chen, who was still shouting and cursing, and scolded: "The prince of this cabinet, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, you say that this cabinet is not qualified? Don't forget that this cabinet also has an emperor's will in his hand, regent on behalf of the sky. Not to mention that you will be imprisoned, even if you are beheaded today, it will not break the rules of the court!"
