Chapter 461: Killing Intent Against the Kong Family!
There is nothing new under the sun, and there is no privacy under the investigation of the brocade guard.
This scene that happened in Qufu Kong's house was soon sent back by Jinyiwei's secret agents.
And when Zhu Gaoxian saw the news, he was almost angry with the Kong family.
"Stupid as a pig!"
He sneered and said to Yang Rong on the side:
"Come and see, this Kong family simply doesn't take me seriously at all, heh, I really think that I can eat for thousands of years with the face of Kong Lao Er!"
In the study, he and Yang Rong were the same, so Zhu Gaoxian didn't use my name, and Yang Rong also had a speechless expression on his face after taking the secret fold and reading it.
He really wanted to pat his head and find out what the Kong family thought, could it be that he really read all the poems and books in the dog's stomach?
It is true that the imperial court respects your Confucian family, and it has always been rewarded, but it is completely for the sake of the face of the signboard of the Confucian sage, because Confucianism is now the world's most prominent learning, so it will be polite to your Confucian family.
But His Majesty, from the time he was the King of Qi, had a lot of opinions on Confucianism, and later even directly founded the Academy of Literature, absorbing and teaching poor students, and the courses he studied were all biased towards practical operation, and he didn't look at the so-called Confucian classics and sage learning.
And Zhu Gaoxian's such a clear and direct attitude made Yang Rong and other ministers of the East Palace very clear in their hearts that His Majesty would never give any good face and preferential treatment to the Confucian family in Qufu, such as Zhu Yuanzhang in the Hongwu period and Zhu Di in the Yongle period to the Kong family, it was almost impossible!
Besides, your Kong family is now involved in the assassination case, if it weren't for the fact that these people considered the situation in Beijing and strongly advised His Majesty not to arrest people, the housekeeper you sent out would have been arrested by the Jinyi Guards and looked at his head......
Why are you still so ignorant of current affairs?
Yang Rong, as the first assistant of the cabinet and a scholar, could only sigh silently in his heart helplessly, and then said to Zhu Gaoxian:
"Your Majesty, the Qufu Confucian family has a great cause, the branches are luxuriant, and the contemporary Yan Shenggong is a young man, and he has not had much knowledge and experience, and I hope that His Royal Highness will read it for the sake of the descendants of the saints, and it is ...... to mention it."
From the bottom of his heart, although Yang Rong is loyal to Zhu Gaoxian and is an out-and-out confidant, he does not want Zhu Gaoxian to make a big fuss about this matter, and even develops into raising a butcher's knife against the Kong family in the end, in that case, the scene will really be out of control.
After all, the Confucian family is a real Confucian living signboard, far from the influence of the hundreds of Confucian scholars at the beginning, in case His Majesty does something to the Confucian family, it is impossible to say that the public opinion of the whole world will be in an uproar, and then His Majesty's reputation in Shilin will also plummet, becoming a generation of tyrants recorded in the history books in the future!
Therefore, Yang Rong could only bite the bullet and continue to persuade bitterly:
"Your Majesty, now that you have just ascended the throne, it should be the time to straighten out the government, and there are many things waiting for you to deal with."
"On the Mobei side, it is also urgent to set follow-up policies and strategies to consolidate the results ......of this victory."
"You have already dealt with a large number of court officials, and you have also shocked these families in the Northland, you might as well let them and the Kong family go first, and then talk about it later......"
Zhu Gaoxian heard Yang Rong talk about Mobei, he was suddenly slightly stunned, he was busy with succession and disposal of relevant people in the past few days, but he almost left this important matter behind.
Although there are still many troops guarding there in the Mobei grassland, the follow-up officials and decrees must be kept up as soon as possible, otherwise these guys on the grassland are afraid of power and morality, and they belong to rabbits.
"You reminded me that about Mobei, I will discuss it tomorrow morning."
Zhu Gaoxian groaned and said:
"As for the Kong family......
He suddenly remembered the relevant history he had seen in later generations, and asked Yang Rong:
"Isn't the Confucian family divided into two sects in the north and the south now, I remember that when the Yuan Dynasty was in the beginning, it was necessary to unify the north and south of the Confucian family, why did the south refuse?"
Yang Rong was born as a scholar, and he also has a certain understanding of this:
"Back to Your Majesty, Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty was preparing to unify the two sects of the Confucian family in the north and south in order to win the hearts of the people, highlight the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, and stabilize the status of his own Yuan Dynasty."
"However, at that time, Kong Zhu, the head of the Southern Sect of the Confucian Family, in order to avoid internal friction in the Confucian family, and at the same time his own house also had a foundation in Quzhou, he dispelled the idea of going back, and instead gave up the title of Duke Yan to Kong Zhi, the head of the Northern Sect at that time."
"The reason for this, it's hard to say much, but it's not above board."
"At that time in the Southern Song Dynasty, the confrontation between the north and the south of the Confucian family was very stakes, and the Southern Sect was afraid that after going back, he would not be able to fight those deep-rooted people of the Northern Sect, and the other was that Kong Zhu of the Southern Sect was not optimistic about the longevity of the Yuan Dynasty at that time."
"Therefore, he gave up the Holy Father of Yan to the Northern Sect, which is a blessing or a curse, but it also makes me and other descendants feel a little emotional......
Zhu Gaoxian thought about it, heh, isn't this a standard opportunist?
The strength is not as good as that of the Northern Sect, and he didn't dare to go back, and he felt that the Yuan Dynasty couldn't last long, and he didn't want to bear the infamy, so he directly handed over the title of Yan Sheng Gong to others, and he became a big landlord behind closed doors in the local area......
"The Northern Sect of the Confucian Family is not a person with integrity, at the beginning, who of the Han people in the North did not hook up with other races? In the end, let the Mongols pick up a bargain, huh. ”
Zhu Gaoxian looks down on the Kong family very much, and is even more dissatisfied with the Kong family who is constantly dying and even thinking about killing himself.
"The gentleman's Ze and the fifth generation were beheaded, his Kong family has eaten thousands of years of dividends, and it's time to retire, don't waste the wealth and food of the court all day long."
Zhu Gaoxian said to Yang Rong:
"Besides, after the Confucian family experienced the incident of Kong's chaos at the end of Kong, they are not descendants of saints with an orderly inheritance, and the ghost knows what kind of ...... they are."
Yang Rong smiled helplessly again.
Kong Mo Chaokong, is a bad debt in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, simply put, it was a family servant descendant Kong Mo who was not surnamed Kong, took advantage of the war to kill a large family of the Kong family at that time, and only escaped the only nine-month-old boy, since then, Kong Mo has replaced him and become a descendant of a dignified saint......
There's a lot of confusion in this, such as the only living boy, is it real?
The Kong family has always been secretive about this, but Yang Rong, as an important minister of the imperial court, certainly knows about it.
In his opinion, His Majesty said this, which is clearly a murderous intention against the Kong family! (End of chapter)
