"Holy Father, why did you meet at the South Gate?" Meng Keren came to the car and saluted respectfully. Qufu is in the east of Yanzhou, and Yan Shenggong should enter the city from the Nine Immortals Gate.

"I know that the sixth prince called me, and he will definitely call you too, didn't you come to wait for Brother Xinfu?" Kong Ne smiled slightly: "Get in the car and talk." ”

The drooping servant opened the car door, and Meng Keren got into the car and served fragrant tea and snacks, as well as wet hand towels.

After Meng Keren had been relieved, Kong Ne spoke: "The city gate will be opened immediately, and I will make a long story short." ”

"Holy Father, please speak." Meng Keren was busy washing his ears and listening.

"You said that the sixth prince called us to Yanzhou at this time, what is the matter?" Conne asked first.

"It must be for the recent civil upheaval." Meng Keren said with a stern expression: "I thought all the way, there is no other possibility. But how did he find us so quickly? There is no chaos in Yanzhou, and we have never opposed King Lu. ”

"That's right, it is said that we have nothing to do with this popular uprising, and no one can contact us." Conne asked again. He just wondered about this, so he had to wait for Meng Keren to ask. "It can't be that you're leaking some news, right?"

"Absolutely not, I use everything, and I won't betray the Meng family's scholars when I die." Meng Keren shook his head resolutely: "And this time, in order to avoid suspicion, I used no one surnamed Meng, not even Zou Cheng." ”

"That's good, so am I." Kong Ne's expression was a little gloomy, a thousand-year-old clan like them was so lush that it was unimaginable for ordinary people. Moreover, the Confucian and Meng families, in addition to their own clan relatives, also have countless scholars to drive. If you want to do something, you don't have to do it yourself, and the court can't find out about them.

"Could it be that the sixth prince wants to ask us for help? Use our influence to calm the situation? Meng Keren thought of a possibility: "After all, Qufu and Zou Cheng are too close to Yanzhou, so it's strange to think of us." ”

"Well, it's quite possible." Kong Ne nodded, the solemnity on his face became lighter, and he said arrogantly: "It's a pity that he didn't expect that we were the masterminds behind the scenes...... two. ”

"Hehe, we can't be considered masterminds." Meng Keren is more than ten years older than Kong Ne, and he is much more cautious and calm. "At best, it can only be said that it was known in advance and contributed to the trouble, and it is by no means the initiator."

"Hehe, let's talk in private, so there's no need to be so careful." Kong Ne was a little unhappy, and let Meng Keren say this, as if he was not cautious enough.

"Yes, yes, I was too careful." Meng Keren nodded hurriedly.

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with being careful." Whatever Kong Ne said was reasonable, he waved his hand and said: "Especially in front of that prince, we have to be even more energetic...... Back then, I had a relationship with my father in the capital, and he was really a headache for a tyrant character, but I couldn't let him catch the handle. ”

"What the Father says is to remember the teachings below." Meng Keren was busy bent down to be taught.

"What kind of teachings are taught, my brother will come up with a countermeasure together." Conne shook his head.

"Uh-huh, then may I ask if the Holy Father's plan will be released?" Meng Keren had already figured out Kong Ne thoroughly, as long as he held him, coaxed him, and looked at his horse's head, there would be no trouble.

"A total of nine words - no recognition, no refusal, no responsibility!" Conne said in a deep voice.

"Oh? Please listen to it. Meng Keren listened respectfully.

"It's very simple, the first one is to never admit that we have something to do with this matter." Kong Ne replied: "The second is that if the sixth prince asks us to do something, we don't refuse it, it will be very troublesome to annoy him, just agree first." ”

"Holy Father!" Meng Keren was convinced. "And the third?"

"The third is to promise to come back and not do it, just tell him after a while that we can't do it, and he can still hold us in the well?" Conne said confidently.

"That certainly can't be. Not to mention that his sixth prince is not an emperor yet, even if the emperor of which dynasty and which generation dares to do anything to the dignified holy prince? Meng Keren hurriedly smiled, and said with a bitter face: "But what happens to me is not necessarily." ”

The Meng family lived very comfortably in the Song and Yuan dynasties, but in the Ming Dynasty, they began to memorize characters again. Because Boss Zhu didn't like Mencius's deafening warning words, he always wanted to get Mencius off the altar.

At first, he was not allowed to worship the Confucian Temple, and then he wanted to make "Mencius" a banned book. It all relied on the scholars to fight on their own merits, and some even paid for their lives.

Boss Zhu reluctantly agreed to let Mencius return to the Confucian Temple, but "Mencius" had to be revised, and finally personally reviewed a "Mencius Verse" to replace it......

The faces of other people's ancestors are given by their children and grandchildren, but the faces of the Confucian and Meng families are all given by their ancestors. Mencius was so untreated by Boss Zhu, what face did he expect his descendants to have?

When Kong Ne's father was crowned the Holy Father, Meng Keren's father only got a small Zou County master book, and when he came to Meng Keren, he directly shaved his head. Later, Kong Ne's father Kong Xixue couldn't stand it anymore, and begged the emperor to give Meng Keren a half-official position, so that he could have the law to sacrifice Mencius for the people of the world.

Boss Zhu reluctantly gave Meng Keren a doctor of the Five Classics, otherwise he would have to enter in vain today, so how dare he be as confident as Kong Ne?

"You don't have to worry, we're going to go out together. If he wants to carry you into the well, he will have to carry you with me. Kong Ne raised his eyebrows and gave Meng Keren a reassurance.

"Hey, then I'll be relieved." Meng Keren smiled and said, "Anyway, resolutely follow the Holy Father." ”

That's what it means. Don't worry, the strong dragon still doesn't suppress the head snake, not to mention that now he has a request for us. Kong Ne patted Meng Keren on the shoulder and said, "As long as we help King Qi pass this pass, Shandong will still be our brother's." ”

"There is also King Qi, which is from three families." Meng Keren said softly.

"It's just an upstart." Kong Ne said disdainfully: "At most, it will be a hundred years, when the green mountains are still the same, Kong and Meng are always there, who knows who he is the king of Qi?" ”

"It's all up to the Confucian Mansion to take care of us, so that our Meng family can always be here." Meng Keren said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Kong will not leave Meng, as long as there is one day in our Confucius Mansion, there will be one day in your Meng family." Conne said with confidence.

In the meantime, Zhu Zhen was talking to Hu Rang Wu Yin, and Deng Duo came in to report and said, "Yan Shenggong has arrived outside the city." ”

"Let him in when he arrives." Zhu Zhen said.

"Yan Shenggong said that it is not appropriate to sit in a hanging basket, let open the city gate." Deng Duo smiled bitterly. "Isn't this just to ask the prince." In fact, he can have the final say if he can't open the door, but he doesn't dare to have the final say on whether to open the door to Yansheng or not. This is called knowing proportion.

"Fault." Zhu Zhen really didn't want to say angrily: "Let him come in in the hanging basket, otherwise he will climb up by himself!" ”
