To say that Kong Xilu of Nankong really has no selfishness at all?

That definitely is.

If a person is not a sage, if he does not even have his own selfishness, he has already become holy.

Kong Xilu lived a poor and poor life, farming and studying to support his family, extremely poor, not to mention enjoyment, even basic food and clothing became a problem, and when he saw a book in a bookstore, he had to think about it for a long time, and finally chose to give up.

On the other hand, the glory and wealth that should have belonged to them were occupied by the concubines of Beikong, and they became the roots of the people of the world, obtained the title of Duke of Yansheng that has been passed down from generation to generation, and have a country within a country, where they can do what they want to do to their heart's content, and they don't have to be afraid because of the tension at hand.

Who wouldn't want to live such a life?

Even as a descendant of a saint, adhering to the ancestral precepts of his ancestors, he will never compete with Beikong for the title, which makes the world see jokes, but Kong Xilu has different ideas while complying with them, which is inevitable.

Before that, for a long time, Kong Xilu had been fighting against his innermost thoughts.

Eventually, he endured.

This may ......

Is that the fate of Nankong?

However, at this time.

Su Che's holy decree, as well as his oracle, were like a ray of light, shining directly in.

This gave Kong Xilu the opportunity to break through the self-imposed prison door.

He can live differently, too!

He can also walk as a descendant of a saint!

He can also do what he wants!

He was able to preach the teachings of Confucius!

The ancestral precepts of the ancestors, Kong Xilu has never dared to disobey, but the reprimand of the Son of Heaven made him wake up like a dream.

Is the inheritance of the saint more important, or is the face of the saint more important?

If the inheritance is lost, and the teachings of Confucianism are completely distorted, gradually becoming an obstacle and becoming dross, then whose fault is it?

Push all this to the North Hole?

Isn't he Nankong responsible?

Su Che's words made Kong Xilu tremble all over, trembling from the depths of his soul, tears couldn't help but flow down, and then he cried!

Such a gaffe is not his fault.

It's really because of the perseverance of this life, and only today did I find that it was meaningless, and it was strange if I didn't collapse.

Song Lian could also roughly understand Kong Xilu's mood at this moment, he thought for a while and said: "Wen Xuangong, you don't have to be so sad, before the Ming Dynasty was established, it is understandable that you will not go out of the mountain, after all, the integrity of your Southern Sect is here......"

"Now the Ming Dynasty has only been founded for more than ten years, everything is in ruins, and if you want to realize your ideals and revenge, it's still too late."

These words also made Kong Xilu gradually calm down, Taishi Gong is right, if the Ming Dynasty is not established, it is the Mongolian monarch who is served, no matter what the rhetoric is, he should not go out of the mountain.

But now that the Ming Dynasty has expelled the Tartars and restored China, he should stand up and do his part to set things right and let Confucian orthodoxy reappear.

Can you really let the descendants of the saints of Qufu Kong, who first lowered the gold and then the yuan, represent the inheritance of the saints?

No.

Absolutely not.

After thinking about it for a long time, Kong Xilu's gaze had become firm, he stood up, and said seriously: "Taishi Gong is right, Your Majesty has taught me a very good lesson, I was stupid before, just thinking about abiding by the ancestral teachings, but not thinking carefully about the intentions of the ancestral teachings!" ”

"The old man is willing to serve as the Duke of Wen Xuan of this generation and serve His Majesty!"

"There are some things that can't be let go, and they must be fought for."

"Blindly tolerating and evading will not solve any problems."

"Since Your Majesty is willing to set things right and trace back to the roots, then Nankong can represent the descendants of the saints and give lectures and commentaries to the people of the heavens, so that they can know the true truth of the saint's learning!"

Hearing this, Song Lian couldn't help but admire in his heart, in this way, the world's scholars would no longer oppose His Majesty......

A few days ago, His Majesty took away the title of Duke of Yansheng, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar, and everyone was not so shocked.

This court has no way to stay, and even the titles of the descendants of the saints have been stripped away, as long as there are backbone literati, they will not be loyal to such a court.

But soon, when the news of the sealing of the Nanzong Kong clan came out, there were even more people who were shocked, and all the ministers were dumbfounded...... Nanzong?

By the way, there is also a Southern Sect Kong Clan!

In this way, many people who want to resign have no way to resign, after all, what His Majesty wants to do is to set things right and establish the saint's lineage as a major sect, which seems to be no problem.

The only problem is that the Holy Duke of Yan of Qufu looks like he advised His Majesty before he was stripped of his title, if they don't stand up and advise, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't be able to think of this incident!

This made many ministers a little aggrieved.

Therefore, some people even hope that Nanzong will refuse the reward again, so that the imperial court will not be able to close the scene, and let His Majesty take back his order and return the deprived title......

But after Song Lian brought the news to Ying Tianfu, everything had been settled!

And this news also spread, and for a while, Kyushu shook.

The North Hole was abolished.

Nankong is sure to confer the title!!

Under the impetus of people with hearts, the whole world knew about this matter, whether it was those scholars or those people, they all knew the story of Nankong, and also knew the reason why His Majesty canonized Nankong.

After the disgrace of Jingkang, the loyalty and integrity of the Southern Confucius lineage were impeccable, and in order not to serve the Mongolian monarch, he would rather give the lord to the Northern Kong, who had served the Jin people.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has recovered China, expelled the Tartars, and the Southern Confucius, after all, it is the cloud that guards the bright moon and can stand up and serve the Ming monarch!

After hearing the story of Nankong, no matter who it was, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise again and again.

Even some hot-blooded young scholars who were instigated by well-intentioned people and were ready to make trouble and want to complain about the grievances of the descendants of the Qufu saints, after hearing this, they were speechless one by one.

This......

What's going on here?

Who is the descendant of the saints?

Obviously.

Nanzong!

Why did His Majesty reward Nanzong so much?

Why does His Majesty look down on Beizong so much? even stripped them of the Duke of Yansheng, just because they were embarrassed!

They're out of line!

Bending the knees and barbarians, serving the Jin people and serving the Yuan people, as the descendants of the master, but for their own glory and wealth, the world cultivates the table, can it still be called the descendants of the saints?

Confucianism's favorite saying is: life and death are small, and loss of discipline is big.

Could it be that when you come to the descendants of the Sage Confucius, this will not work?

Of course not!

Everyone hates double-standard dogs, even the descendants of saints.

Why do you surrender to the Jin people first, and then kneel down to worship the descendants of the saints of the Yuan people, and still be the Yan Shenggong of the Ming Dynasty?

Previously, the Holy Duke of Qu Fuyan brought the heavenly people to blackmail the emperor and wanted to take back his fate, no one felt that there was a problem at this time, but when Su Che played the card of the Southern Sect Kong, it could be called a lore! Everything is reversed in an instant!

The effect is simply not too good!

Now, the literati in the world are no longer in a hurry to take care of the affairs of those academies, let's talk about the affairs of Nanzong first!

Qufu, Confucius.

When Nankong Kong Xilu accepted the title, the dispute between the north and the south of the Confucian family came to an end, which made the former Yan Shenggong Kong Xixue completely desperate.

He ...... How could he accept a knighthood? ”

Kong Xixue originally had a glimmer of hope, expecting Nankong to keep his original promise.

As long as Nankong gives up the title again, then Beikong is still a descendant of the saint, and maybe the title of Duke Wenxuan will fall on their heads.

Yan Sheng Gong changed to Wen Xuan Gong, and it is not a loss!

But this is obviously Kong Xixue's wishful thinking, and he is dreaming of idiots.

When Nanzong accepted the title, Beikong was in a very awkward situation.

Just when Kong Xixue was saddened by the loss of his title, he didn't know that the crisis was quietly coming......

The Jinyi guards had already disguised themselves as ordinary people, infiltrated Qufu, and began to secretly investigate many criminal evidence in the Confucian Mansion in Qufu.

I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it!

The status of the Confucian Mansion in Qufu was so high that even the magistrates of Qufu did not dare to move.

With the name of the descendants of the saints, they are the people who are in the village, they treat human life as nothing, wantonly annex land, rob the people's daughters, and do whatever they want.

Under the glamorous appearance, all the things done are dirty and dirty, even if you see too many dark brocade guards, you can't help but be surprised - after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a bold person!

Even those arrogant nobles, relying on their own merits, don't dare to do so much.

How dare this Qufu Kong family?

Just because they are saints?

After the collection of criminal evidence was completed, these incriminating evidence were sent to the palace of Ying Tianfu one after another.

And Su Che couldn't help but sneer after seeing these incriminating evidence.

They can do these things, in fact, it is not surprising, during the Yuan Dynasty, they did just that, and when the Ming Dynasty was established, many crimes were not investigated, but were treated more politely, and all kinds of treatment were not left behind, which increased their arrogance and arrogance!

They are the descendants of saints, who in the world dares to move?

"Collect the Internet café."

Su Che folded the music and said softly.

The Jinyi guards lurking in Qufu have already woven a big net to wipe out all the criminals in the Confucian Mansion who are dressed as descendants of saints!

Under Su Che's order, the net was put away, and all sinners could not escape the net after all.

Qufu.

The Confucian family.

When the Jinyi Guards broke in and prepared to close the net, the Confucian Mansion immediately organized private soldiers to fight, these private soldiers were not weak in combat effectiveness, they were well-trained, and with each other's cooperation, they actually repelled the first wave of Jinyiwei's attack!

Although Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was a little surprised, he didn't care, and shouted loudly directly: "Listen to the private soldiers of the Confucian Mansion, we are the Jinyi Guards of the imperial court, now we will investigate and punish the Confucian Mansion for crimes, and give up ineffective resistance!" If you continue to resist, then you are disobedient to the court, intending to rebel, and you should be punished! ”

"I have thought about it carefully, whether I want to commit the crime of rebellion for the sake of this Confucian Mansion......"

As soon as these words came out, the private soldiers of the Confucian Mansion couldn't help but look at each other, and they all panicked, if it was an ordinary thief, it would be nothing for them to kill, but this is the brocade guard of the imperial court in front of them, do they have to kill it?

Even if you really win the battle and repel all these brocade guards, what can you do? Could it be that the imperial court only has these brocade guards?

Thinking of this, many private soldiers inevitably retreated, and some private soldiers even planned to turn against each other and welcome Wang Shi! This should be considered a ...... Guilty of meritorious service?

At this moment, Kong Xixue, the patriarch of the Confucian Mansion, heard the shouts of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, his scalp was numb for a while, and his eyes were full of despair.

But he was unwilling to sit still like this, and at this moment he took a step forward and shouted loudly: "I am a descendant of a saint, what is the sin of cultivating and reading heirlooms?" The emperor took away my title of Duke Yansheng, do you have to force me to die, so that the whole world can see how mean and unkind the Ming Emperor is? Treat the descendants of the saints like this? ”

Kong Xi learned to open his mouth to be a descendant of a saint and a descendant of a saint to keep his mouth shut, wanting to use this identity to save himself from criminal responsibility.

But his idea is obviously naïve.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard made Mao Xiang sneer, and said lightly: "The prince is guilty of breaking the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime, can it be that the descendants of the saint break the law, so they don't need to be investigated?" ”

"How to deal with you is to speak according to the guilt and evidence, not to read the heirloom with a word, what is the crime, you can expose it."

"To deprive you of the title of Duke of Yansheng is to restore the orthodoxy of the Southern Sect, can we expose your guilt?"

"You really think about the law of the Ming Dynasty too simply!"

"If you are really so noble, then you will die and apologize for your sins with death, maybe Your Majesty will really be impressed by you?"

Mao Xiao's tone was a little ridiculous, which directly made Kong Xixue stunned, he never expected that when he took out the identity of a descendant of the saint and forced him to die, this person was completely ignored, and it could be said that he was in a dilemma for a while, and the whole person was embarrassed.

Kong Xixue's face was flushed, and he was angry and angry for a while, how could this Ming Emperor do this?

Why is that?!

Could it be that he killed a few untouchables and took dozens of concubines, can such a trivial matter be investigated to the end?

In all dynasties, how did the Yan Shenggong family have such treatment?

As for the will to die...... It's just talking, and it's impossible to really die.

Even at this point, he still doesn't want to die, and he still has a trace of luck in his heart.

Perhaps, this Ming Emperor just wanted to embarrass him?

I don't think it's going to let him die, right?

He is so old, and he used to be the Yan Shenggong of the Ming Dynasty, and he is a descendant of the saint, so he should never be executed!

With the arrest of the Confucian family in Qufu, this big case was handed over to the three law divisions for trial.

The so-called three law divisions are: the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple.

At this moment, after seeing the case, these judicial officials are as big as a fight, and they are in a dilemma.

Who is the culprit?

Forerunner Shenggong Confucius Studies!

According to the guilt, according to the law, you should be beheaded!

But do they really want to condemn the descendants of the saints to death?

If they were to die, they would inevitably be poked in the back.

But if they are not sentenced to death, where is their majesty as the judiciary?

If you ask Your Majesty how to deal with this case...... I'm afraid that I will only be scolded, because this case was handed over to them by His Majesty.

The last of the last.

They still made a decision!

When Su Che heard this, he nodded and said, "Then kill it!" Make the crime public, and establish the authority of my criminal law! ”
