Because Yanfu is located in the most prosperous street in the entire capital, everything that happened at the gate of Yanfu was quickly discovered by people with good intentions and spread.

In addition, Kong Shangxian did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts from beginning to end, and soon, those dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital learned from various channels that Kong Shangxian, the contemporary Yansheng Gong, had come to the capital and visited Yan Mansion in broad daylight.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, Jiajing was sitting next to the bookcase, looking at the music in his hand without distraction, and at this moment, he saw Lu Fang walking silently, coming to Jiajing's side, and said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Father of Yan has arrived!"

When Jiajing heard Lu Fang's words, he put aside the music in his hand, chuckled, and immediately asked.

"Why, Yan Shifan didn't see him?"

"Hey, how did Your Majesty know about this!"

After this, I saw Lu Fang suppress all the horror in his heart, lowered his head, and responded respectfully.

"Your Majesty, what you said is right, when Yan Shenggong took a sedan chair to Yan's mansion, Yan Shifan did not come forward to see him on the grounds that he was ill!"

"Hmph, count him as acquaintances, okay, let Yan Shenggong come in to see me!"

After listening to Lu Fang's report, Jiajing waved his hand and commanded rather casually.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang responded, he did not hesitate, and immediately turned to leave.

……

Outside the Qianqing Palace, the eunuch who was in charge of teaching etiquette full-time, after explaining to Kong Shangxian what he needed to pay attention to when he met the emperor later, asked quite flatteringly.

"Yan Shenggong, when I meet Your Majesty later, these are the things you need to pay attention to, you see, do you need to repeat it again?"

"No need!"

After listening to the eunuch's explanation, Kong Shangxian nodded, indicating that he had written it all down.

"Well, that's good, that's good, please wait here for a while, and Grandpa Lu will come later and guide you in to meet Your Majesty!"

After the eunuch who was in charge of teaching etiquette full-time finished speaking, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and after leaning down and wiping the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead with his sleeve, he responded respectfully.

After a while, the eyes of the eunuch, who was in charge of teaching etiquette full-time, inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lu Fang, who was approaching here not far away, and immediately, after saluting Kong Shangxian respectfully, he spoke.

"Since Grandpa Lu has arrived, then our family will leave first!"

After speaking, the eunuch who was in charge of teaching etiquette left without looking back, and as for the customary benefit fee, he didn't even dare to mention it.

Then, I saw Lu Fang come to Kong Shangxian's side, a warm smile appeared on his face, and after bowing to Kong Shangxian, he followed up and spoke.

"Yan Shenggong, you can go in, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside!"

"Well, there's Grandpa Lao!"

After Kong Shangxian finished speaking, he raised his head, looked at the Qianqing Palace close at hand in front of him, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

Then, he followed Lu Fang's steps and stepped on the steps of the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Father of Yan has arrived!"

As soon as he entered the Qianqing Palace, Lu Fang respectfully reported to Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair at the moment.

"Yes, I see."

As soon as Lu Fang's words fell, I saw Jiajing raise his eyebrows and respond in a voice without a trace of emotion.

After that, I saw Kong Shangxian step forward, knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and said in a deep voice.

"Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

When Jiajing heard this, he looked up and down at Kong Shangxian, who was kneeling on the ground at the moment, before he gave an order.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After getting Jiajing's answer, Kong Shangxian slowly got up from the ground.

At this moment, Kong Shangxian's heart was extremely worried, because he could feel that from the moment he entered the Qianqing Palace, the emperor's scrutinizing gaze had been lingering on him.

At this moment, Jiajing's flat voice sounded in Kong Shangxian's ears, interrupting his thoughts: "Come on, give a seat to the Holy Princess!" ”

As soon as Jiajing's words fell, a eunuch soon stepped forward and prepared a cushioned seat for Kong Shangxian, and Lu Fang, after reporting to Jiajing, also stood next to Jiajing according to the usual practice, like a sculpture.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Kong Shangxian arched his hand and thanked Jiajing.

Immediately, I saw Kong Shangxian sitting on the chair, and the whole person was sitting precariously without saying a word.

Seeing this, Jiajing nodded imperceptibly, and after glancing at Kong Shangxian, he immediately asked.

"Yan Shenggong, do you know why I called you over?"

When Kong Shangxian heard Jiajing's words, he was immediately frightened and bloodless, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, you ...... Not long ago, you asked the left deputy capital Yu Shi Hairui to come to the house to inform Wechen and let Wechen come to the capital! ”

Seeing Kong Shangxian's behavior like this, Jiajing's impatience flashed on his face, and he asked later.

"Okay, I ask you, is your Qufu Confucius family related to the White Lotus Sect?"

Jiajing's words fell, and a panicked look suddenly appeared on Kong Shangxian's face, he was already in a dilemma.

If you admit to colluding with the White Lotus Sect, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it will be a naked capital crime, and the Qufu Confucian family will definitely be unable to escape the involvement, but if you carry it to the end and don't admit it, Your Majesty's side, I'm afraid there is already definite evidence!

At this moment, Kong Shangxian's face was full of tangled colors, large beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead, I don't know how long time had passed, I saw him come back to his senses, lowered his head, and replied hesitantly.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, ...... Wechen is really not ......"

Seeing this, Jiajing didn't have the idea of going around the bend with Kong Shangxian anymore, but slammed the table and reprimanded in a deep voice.

"Hmph, do you know how many hurtful things your Kong family has committed in recent years?"

"The crimes committed by your Kong family, even if they are cut by a thousand knives, do you think I don't know!"

When Jiajing said this, he sneered, turned his gaze to Lu Fang on the side, and commanded.

"Lu Fang, show him the things!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang responded, he immediately took out a stack of files containing the crimes of the Kong family from the bookcase on the side and brought them to Kong Shangxian.

Seeing this, Kong Shangxian trembled and took the file from Lu Fang's hand.

After opening the file, Kong Shangxian only glanced at it slightly, and the whole person was like being struck by lightning, because the file recorded all the crimes committed by the Kong family so far!

A chilling feeling emerged in Kong Shangxian's heart.

Just when Kong Shangxian was still immersed in this shocking fact and couldn't extricate himself, Jiajing's voice sounded again.

"I heard that some time ago, when your Kong family saw that more and more people came to serve, they changed the land rent from 37 to 28 points, is there such a thing?"

When Kong Shangxian heard Jiajing's words, he immediately panicked, only to see him turn his gaze to Jiajing and explain helplessly.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, you listen to Weichen's explanation, the matter is not ......"

It's just that before Kong Shangxian's words were finished, he was coldly bet by Jiajing: "Kneel down for me, you beast is not as good as you!" ”

In the face of Jiajing, who was extremely angry at this moment, Kong Shangxian did not dare to disobey in the slightest, so he knelt on the ground upright.

And those files that recorded the crimes of the Confucian family were also scattered all over the place in the process.

At this moment, Kong Shangxian only felt an indescribable pressure surrounding him, his throat seemed to be pinched very hard, and his breathing became difficult.

Kong Shangxian wanted to explain, but he was surprised to find that no matter how hard he tried, the whole person was like drowning, and he couldn't make any sound.

After this, Jiajing's gaze full of murderous intent swept over Kong Shangxian's body, and said word by word.

"Now, I will give you two choices, in a few days it will be the time to hold a court meeting, and at that time, I will personally announce to the hundred officials that you will officially abolish you, the sixty-fourth grandson of Confucius, the contemporary Yan Sheng Gong, and then the court will nominate a new Yan Sheng Gong one day!"

"If you don't agree, you can leave, but the moment you step out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, there will be no Qufu Confucius family in the world, and I will kill you cleanly and remove a great scourge for the people!"

When Kong Shangxian heard Jiajing's words, his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and because he was too frightened, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Kong Shangxian knew that there was only one way to go in front of him, and that was to obediently wait for the abolition of the status of the Holy Duke of Yan!

Otherwise, the moment he stepped out of the Qianqing Palace, the Qufu Kong family would definitely suffer a catastrophe!

Kong Shangxian didn't feel that with his identity as the Holy Prince, he could pose any threat to His Majesty today, after all, the Majesty in front of him was a ruthless person who could cut the expenses of the clan and stab his own family with a knife!

Besides, even if His Majesty kills all the Qufu Kong family?

In time, there will be survivors who claim to be the side branches of the Confucian family, and when they grow up, they will naturally inherit everything from the Confucian family, including everything from the Yan Shenggong!

After all, the legitimacy of the Confucian family comes from the imperial court, and the imperial court is controlled by the emperor who ascended the throne through the Great Rites Conference and has controlled the Ming Dynasty for decades, and his will is the will of the imperial court and the will of the people of the world!

Immediately afterwards, Kong Shangxian tried to conceive in his mind the possible consequences he might have after stepping out of the Qianqing Palace, but soon, the picture conceived in his mind made him shudder, and the fear on his face was even worse.

After this, I saw Kong Shangxian raise his head and turn his gaze to Jiajing, at this moment, his eyes were full of fear, and he did not have the demeanor of the contemporary Yan Shenggong.

"Compliance...... Yes, Your Majesty! ”

After Kong Shangxian said this, the whole person seemed to have lost the strength of his whole body, and he collapsed to the ground weakly.

At the moment, he only felt that something was gone, forever.

Seeing this, Jiajing's face was even more disgusted, and immediately, he nodded and said coldly.

", I don't want to see you again!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Jiajing's words fell, Kong Shangxian struggled to get up from the ground and walked towards the outside of the Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, Kong Shangxian, like a walking corpse, walked in this huge Forbidden City in despair, he didn't know what would happen to him next, but it was foreseeable that it must be an extremely tragic end!

……

After Kong Shangxian left, he saw Lu Fang come to Jiajing's side and said in a low voice.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the specific candidate has been found!"

When Jiajing heard this, he immediately became interested, and immediately turned his gaze to Lu Fang, and asked in a hurry.

"Oh, who is it?"

When Lu Fang heard this, he immediately bowed to the ground and answered without thinking.

"Your Majesty, this person's name is Song Yiwang, currently serving as the judge of Yiling Prefecture, and he was disliked by Yan Song earlier because of Shangshu's impeachment of Hu Zongxian and Ruan Yi."

"Later, after Yan Shifan served as the secretary of the ministry, this Song Yiwang was degraded again and again, from the imperial history to a small Yiling Prefecture judge!"

"Moreover, this Song Yiwang rushed to Fujian on the order of Xu Jie not long ago to assist Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, and distribute land to the local people who have no land, and in this process, he performed very well!"

After listening to Lu Fang's report, Jiajing couldn't help frowning, and immediately confirmed to him.

"You mean, this Song Yiwang had impeached Hu Zongxian earlier?"

When Lu Fang heard this, a trace of bad premonition suddenly flashed in his heart, and immediately, after organizing the language in his mind, he asked Jiajing tentatively.

"Your Majesty, are you not very satisfied with this Song Yiwang, do you need a slave to let Xu Ge Lao ......?"

When Jiajing heard Lu Fang's words, after pondering for a while, he immediately commanded.

"Okay, it's him, when this matter is over, give him some symbolic compensation!"

When Jiajing said this, he paused for a moment, turned his gaze to Lu Fang, and asked.

"By the way, I heard that this Song Yiwang had outstanding political achievements in the early years and had a lot of benefits, is there such a thing?"

In the face of Jiajing's inquiry, Lu Fang didn't dare to hide anything, and only after thinking about it for a long time did he respond.

"Your Majesty, this Song Yiwang is a Jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, when he was the magistrate of Wu County, he governed the local area in an orderly manner, and was deeply loved by the people, and since then, he has been promoted!"

After listening to Lu Fang's answer, Jiajing nodded, and then spoke out.

"Well, I know, when the time comes, save him for me, put him in the place, and do something practical for the people!"

When Jiajing said this, as if he suddenly remembered, he added a sentence again.

"In the future, he will be promoted according to his political performance!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Jiajing's words fell, Lu Fang's whole person breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately responded without thinking. (End of chapter)
