Chapter 459: Confucian Mansion Deliberations, Secretly Planning!
Hearing Xia Yuanji say this, Yang Shiqi, a cabinet scholar, was stunned for a moment, wanted to speak and stopped, but finally did not speak.
After all, Xia Laoshangshu's status in His Majesty's mind is different, although he has entered the cabinet, but in terms of identity and status, he may not be able to compare with the dean of the Academy of Literature.
However, he was a little strange in his heart, why would His Majesty be so dissatisfied with the Kong family?
Don't even want to do a little bit of tolerance on the surface?
It stands to reason that the Confucian family is not a good family, and everyone knows very well, after all, the sage's Ze, the third generation, the Confucian family has gone through so many dynasties, and has already become a greedy behemoth, just a piece of land, I don't know how much to swallow.
But for the sake of the saint's face, the signboard of the Confucian family in China must not be down, and even the Yuan Dynasty, after conquering the world, politely invited the Confucian family back and rewarded it lavishly.
After all, thousands of years of circulation, has already made the name of the saint resounding throughout the land of China, and it is also deeply engraved in the hearts of almost all Chinese people, whether they really agree with it or not, but at least the superficial kung fu must be done enough, otherwise what to use to calm people's hearts.
Yang Shiqi was pondering, and suddenly his heart was shocked.
"Your Majesty doesn't want to take the Confucian family, and then rectify and abolish Confucianism, right?"
In that case, things are going to get really big......
At this time, Zhu Gaoxian also sat back down and began to command:
"Although Wang Zhi and others died, the imperial court still gave the final conclusion of the case, and the cabinet should draft a decree as soon as possible to publicize their crimes to the public, so that everyone in the world knows that it is not that my heart is too hard, but that these people are killing themselves!"
"The matter of the Kong family, I have to think about it again, let's skip it for now."
"Although the Northland is now temporarily stable, in my opinion, it is still not enough!"
"The food on the market began to rise slowly, and the rest of the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. also began to rise, these people are really not afraid of death, do they think I am a fool!"
Zhu Gaoxian gritted his teeth, and his heart was ruthless:
"I already said in the court that day that I would rectify these big families in the Northland!"
"Are these people really immortal when they don't see the Yellow River, thinking that I will care about their network of connections?"
Yang Rong's face also looked very heavy, he was the first assistant of the cabinet, and there were more channels to obtain information, so it was very clear that those Northland families were still secretly trying to make waves again, and even wanted to take advantage of the huge fluctuations in prices and food to recreate a huge chaos.
"Alas, Your Majesty seems to have made up his mind, could it be that the Kong family is really going to fall this time?"
"You can't really peel off all the faces of the descendants of the saints and the Chinese Confucianism......
He quietly glanced at Zhu Gaoxian, who was contemplating, and his mood was slightly heavy.
If there is another bloody storm, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will not be able to comment on His Majesty's wind!
……
Qufu.
Since the housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion fled for his life and fled back to Qufu on horseback all the way, the entire Confucian family began to fall into an inexplicable commotion and uneasiness, which was mixed with a bit of restlessness.
The contemporary attack on the Holy Father of Yan is Kong Yanjin, the fifty-ninth grandson of the Confucian saint, who likes to read and is not very keen on money and property, and belongs to the kind that likes to be quiet and does not like to move.
Although he is the head of the family on weekdays, he doesn't ask anything except for pleasure and reading, anyway, the people in the house are all from his own family, and there will be no big problems, but the Confucian family has a big business and a thousand-year-old inheritance, and the house has long been gloomy and uneven.
But all the people in the palace who have an envoy are basically greedy and unhappy, and the people who help to handle the affairs of the Kong family on weekdays are several relatives of the Kong family, and they are all Kong Yanjin's uncles and the like, these people have become extremely greedy because of the impossibility of attacking the lord, coupled with the Confucian family's wealth grabbing over the years.
The housekeepers of the Confucian Mansion who went to the capital to secretly contact were sent out by these Confucian family elders.
"Hmph," an old man angrily smashed his cane on the ground in a courtyard, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face:
"At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hongwu had to be polite to Kejian, treated him as a guest, and rewarded him with titles and glory, but he was so unkind to our Kong family as soon as he came up!"
"How dare you say that our Kong family is something? He's the oldest! ”
Another middle-aged man also frowned and said:
"When King Yan seized the throne, our Kong family never participated in it, and the emperor and the court were also polite to us during the Yongle period, and never said a word, why is he Zhu Gaoxian so harsh?"
"It is said that he started in the army, is rude, illiterate, and uneducated, and it seems that he is not a lie."
"Such a person can even become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Hum! ”
The Kong family was actually extremely dissatisfied with Zhu Gaoxian.
In addition to thinking that Zhu Gaoxian's attitude towards the family is relatively poor, the literary academy that he founded and grew with his own hands is also a very important factor.
You must know that the reason why the Confucian family has been able to survive thousands of years without falling and always enjoy glory and wealth is because of the light of Confucius and Confucianism, so that the entire Chinese family can respect the Confucian family.
After all, no one can afford to provoke a descendant of a saint and a Confucian scholar......
But now that Zhu Gaoxian opened the Academy of Literature, others may only think that it is to seize the opportunity of the scholars, but the Confucian family is an expert in this area, and they immediately realized that Zhu Gaoxian is trying to cultivate poor students, suppress or even abandon Confucianism!
Let's see what kind of bullshit courses those students of the Academy of Arts are studying on weekdays?
Is there a shadow of Confucianism?
Since ancient times, the battle of knowledge has always been the most dangerous thing!
If Zhu Gaoxian really did this, a few decades later, the students of the Academy of Literature would be all over the court and the world, forming an overwhelming trend, and becoming the world's leading scholars, where can Confucianism and Confucius be tolerated at that time?
And once the status of Confucianism is abandoned, then how can their Confucian family maintain its current status? What else can be used to ensure the current prosperity and wealth?
Therefore, the elders of the Confucian family present were quite dissatisfied with Zhu Gaoxian, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Why do you want to trample our Confucian Mansion under your feet when you become the emperor?
You have to use our Confucian Mansion as a stepping stone, right?
We're not muddy either! He is a descendant of the saint of the Eight Classics and the head of the Heavenly Sect!
"Do you want to tell the head of the family about this?"
While they were deliberating, someone suddenly remembered something and asked:
"After all, we are also involved, and if we don't tell the family master, I'm afraid it's not good, right?" (End of chapter)
