It must be known that among the four major provinces in the north, Shandong and Shanxi provinces, needless to say, the power of the family is very strong, and Henan is firmly controlled by the Yu family.

In Beizhili, except for the circle near the Jingshi, most of the rural counties are united by the government and the clans, which is almost equivalent to co-governance.

The money of the local wealthy families was returned, the money and grain of the poor people were divided equally between the two families, and the government even took less, which is the current situation in the local area of the Ming Dynasty.

Except for tax collectors, officials usually do not go to the countryside, and even if there is a problem, it is often handled by the local clan.

Besides, the Ming Dynasty has only been founded for more than 30 years, in this case, these big families do not have too much awe for the imperial court, in their eyes, we did this when we were in the Mengyuan Dynasty, and now it has been replaced by the Ming Dynasty, isn't it the same?

Therefore, after learning that Zhu Gaoxian really wanted to attack his own people, the heads of these families immediately gathered in the Daimyo's Mansion again and began to discuss countermeasures.

And the first thing they thought of was to seek the help of the Kong family!

Next, it is ready to open Wu Fort, collect tenant farmers and craftsmen into it, and start a tough confrontation with Zhu Gaoxian!

……

Qufu, Confucius.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise in the house, accompanied by several extremely angry roars, which startled the servants and maids who were waiting outside, but no one dared to go in to clean up, and all of them had gloomy faces and looked uneasy.

Since a few days ago, several elders in the house went to visit the prefect, but they were closed, and then the local magistrate of Qufu was also arrested and imprisoned by Jinyiwei, and even outside his own house, he could faintly see someone squatting, and the atmosphere of this Confucian mansion suddenly became weird.

This is the lineage of Yan Shenggong, when has he ever been wronged like this?

Even if the Mongols came to rule the Central Plains, they were polite to the Confucian family and rewarded them greatly, why did the new emperor ascend the throne now, but he seemed to be very dissatisfied with the Confucian family......

Inside the house, the contemporary Yan Shenggong, Kong Yanjin, the head of the Confucian Mansion, was looking angry, and his face turned red.

"Bastard! Hateful! This, this dog emperor! ”

Kong Yanjin thought that the housekeeper in his house was arrested and the messenger of the family was killed, and he was immediately angry, but unfortunately the teacups and tea sets had already been broken by him, and the ground was full of messes, so he could only sit down with hatred.

Several elders of the Confucian family on the side also frowned bitterly, some had very ugly faces, some people were full of anger, and some people were silent.

Kong Chengwu, as the chief housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion, looked at everyone's faces, and whispered to let the servants and maids outside come in to clean, and only after the cleaning was completed and new tea was brought in, he said unhurriedly:

"Family master, family elders, now the situation is in front of us, the new emperor is obviously very dissatisfied with our Kong family, look at the current situation, let alone reward according to the custom, I am afraid that the Kong family will have a big disaster!"

He runs around on weekdays, and he is a relatively experienced and sober person in the Kong family, and he is really not optimistic about the future of the Kong family in front of him.

No matter how loud the signboard of the descendants of the saint sounds, it depends on whether the emperor and the court recognize it.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is clear that he looks down on the signboard of the Kong family, and is even full of malice towards them.

In this situation, the head of the family is a little confused, and the elders of the family are also confused, and they even want to join forces with the Northland family to give the new emperor a little color?

Isn't that tantamount to self-defeating?

Before Kong Yanjin could speak, an old man of the Confucian family next to him was already very dissatisfied and scolded:

"Little Wu, what are you talking about!"

"How could there be a catastrophe in our Kong family? You don't want to be alarmist here! ”

Another family elder also spoke with a little anger:

"The emperor doesn't know what to do, and he is so confused when he is provoked by the villain! Our Confucian family is a sect of Confucianism, a descendant of a sage, how can he dare to be disrespectful to us? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world? ”

"By that time, will the throne under his ass still be secure?"

Kong Chengwu's face couldn't help twitching a few times, he felt a little speechless about these family elders, and even felt that they were not used to being careless on weekdays, and they would have such ridiculous thoughts......

Obviously, the new emperor has sent troops to block the key roads of the four provinces in the north, and the prefect of Yanzhou has refused to see the people of the Confucian Mansion, and has begun to cut it busily, and even the Qufu Zhixian County, which has always blessed the Confucian Mansion on weekdays, has been arrested and imprisoned by the Jinyi Guards from the Jingshi, why are these old people still the descendants of the saints who are full of brains?

The emperor really wants to run the Confucian family with an iron heart, can anyone stop him now?

He took a deep breath and looked helplessly at Kong Yanjin in the middle:

"Head of the family, it's time to make a quick decision!"

"Decided?"

Kong Yanjin stared at him for a while, and said coldly:

"What decision?"

Kong Chengwu had no choice but to say what he thought:

"Just take retreat as advance and express the guilt to the court, just say that the discipline in our Confucian Mansion is not strict, let the people below come forward to confess the crime, give the court a step, and we will be more decent......"

"Humph!" Kong Yanjin suddenly snorted coldly:

"What bullshit decency!"

He stood up angrily, pointed at Kong Chengwu and shouted:

"Do you know what the prefect told me in private?"

"Let me hand over all the fields and tenant servants that have been hidden in the Confucian Mansion all these years! It's all handed over to the government! ”

"And the money in the house must also be handed over!"

"In the words of the Dog Emperor, it is to let our Confucian Mansion break the fortune and avoid disasters! We are not allowed to have so much money and land in the Confucian Mansion, so we can only live in poverty! ”

"It's just outrageous and unreasonable! No one can say it! ”

After all, Kong Chengwu was only the chief housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion, and it was the first time he heard about it, and he was immediately shocked in his heart.

You must know that the money, grain and fields that the Confucian Mansion has accumulated over the years, as well as tenant farmers and servants, are not a small amount, he is responsible for managing these affairs in the mansion, and he knows that the financial resources of the Confucian Mansion are almost as rich as the country!

Don't look at the eyes of outsiders, Confucius Mansion is the descendant of the Heavenly Sect, the saint, and the head of Confucianism, but in fact, Confucius Mansion is almost the top three landlords in the entire Northern Land and even the entire Ming Dynasty!

If the new emperor really wants to treat the Confucian Mansion like this, then he really can't complain that the head of the family and the elders of the family will be so indignant......

"It's absolutely impossible for me to agree to this, the Dog Emperor is simply daydreaming and delusional!"

"Xiao Wu, you gather all the capable families in the house, I will send them to contact those families, I don't believe that he Zhu Gaoxian can cover the sky with one hand!" (End of chapter)
