After that, time flew by like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, it was the middle of June.

The sun hanging in the sky is warmer than in early spring.

The Forbidden City, outside the Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, Kong Shangxian's younger brother Kong Shangtan looked at the Qianqing Palace close at hand in front of him, and his heart was full of hesitation.

Although as early as May, the Confucian Mansion had already decided that Kong Shangtan would replace Kong Shangxian and become the new Yan Shenggong!

However, due to the fact that there had never been a precedent for the abolition of the Yan Shenggong in all dynasties before this, the Confucian Mansion specially held a sacrifice and told his ancestor Confucius the reason for the whole thing word for word.

After the sacrifice was held and all the affairs that should be handled were almost handled, Kong Shangtan set off from Qufu, Shandong Province and hurried to the capital.

"Alas, I hope that when I see Your Majesty later, everything will go well!"

"Otherwise, the thousand-year-old inheritance of the Confucian Mansion will probably have to be cut off here today!"

Kong Shangtan thought so, and the hesitation on his face was even worse, because this time, Kong Shangtan did not only represent him alone, behind him, was the entire Confucian Mansion.

If Kong Shangtan could not successfully inherit the position of Yan Shenggong, then the foundation of the thousand-year-old inheritance of the Confucian Mansion would be completely wiped out.

At this moment, I only heard a sharp voice sound: "Xuan, Kong Shangtan to see you!" ”

When Kong Shangtan heard this, he immediately reined in his mind and stepped on the stairs of the Qianqing Palace with great determination.

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

As soon as Kong Shangtan entered the Qianqing Palace, he knelt on the ground with a 'plop' and said respectfully.

Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, heard this, and after looking Kong Shangtan up and down, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he commanded.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you...... Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

After receiving Jiajing's permission, Kong Shangtan slowly got up from the ground, perhaps because he was too nervous, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably slightly.

Jiajing took in the scene, raised his eyebrows, and joked with a smile.

"Kong Shangtan, I won't eat you again, why, are you so afraid to see me?"

When Kong Shangtan heard this, his whole person suddenly became at a loss, and he hurriedly explained.

"Enlightenment...... Your Majesty, Wei ...... From the moment Wei Chen entered the Qianqing Palace, he was shocked by the momentum on His Majesty's body, so he was too nervous to make such a rude behavior, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive him! ”

When Kong Shangtan said this, he was afraid that Jiajing would not be satisfied, so he continued to add in a panic.

"Total ...... In short, Wei Chen will definitely correct it after he comes down......"

"Okay, no need to say any more, I understand what you mean, come on, give me a seat!"

Jiajing didn't care about Kong Shangtan's words, but waved his hand quite casually and commanded.

When Jiajing's words fell, a eunuch soon stepped forward, brought a seat for Kong Shangtan, and thoughtfully laid a cushion on it.

"Sit down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Kong Shangtan heard Jiajing's words, he didn't excuse himself and sat down on the chair, but Kong Shangtan remembered the advice of the elders in the clan, and the whole person sat upright, not daring to make the slightest move.

Seeing this, Jiajing shook his head imperceptibly, and immediately chose to get straight to the point.

"Kong Shangtan, over there in the Confucian Mansion, you are the candidate to be the new Yan Shenggong, right?"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty!"

When Kong Shangtan heard Jiajing's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded respectfully.

Hearing this, Jiajing withdrew his gaze from Kong Shangtan's body, and asked unhurriedly.

"In that case, Kong Shangtan, do you know why I abolished Kong Shangxian, the Holy Prince, in the first place?"

When Kong Shangtan heard Jiajing's words, his pupils suddenly contracted, and after hesitating for a long time, he shook his head and spoke cautiously.

"Your Majesty, although Wechen doesn't know the reason behind this, one thing Wechen can be sure of, it must be my Kong family's fault first, what did I do to be sorry for Your Majesty, Your Majesty only ...... when you have to do it"

Before Kong Shangtan's words were finished, he was interrupted impatiently by Jiajing.

"Lu Fang, show him the things!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang responded, he immediately stepped forward and rummaged through the bookcase on the side for a long time before finding out the file that recorded the crimes of the Kong family.

After that, I saw Lu Fang come to Kong Shangtan and hand over the file in his hand to him.

"This is the reason why I abolished the Yan Shenggong Kong Shangxian, take a good look at it yourself!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Kong Shangtan responded respectfully, he immediately trembled his hands and took the file from Lu Fang's hand.

When Kong Shangtan opened the file in his hand, he saw that the crimes committed by the Kong family were recorded in great detail.

The more he turned back, the more ugly Kong Shangtan's face became, he couldn't believe that on weekdays, his brothers and elders, who were kind and treated him very well, would do such an unbearable thing.

When Kong Shangtan held on to the contents recorded in the dossier and finished reading them, the clothes on his body were already soaked with cold sweat.

Then, I saw him put the file in his hand aside, knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and asked Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty, and I hope Your Majesty will punish you!"

"Okay, the punishment has already been punished, this matter will end here for the time being, don't follow in the footsteps of Kong Shangxian!"

Hearing this, Jiajing reminded him after glancing at Kong Shangtan quite indifferently.

When Kong Shangtan Jiajing heard this, a look of gratitude suddenly appeared on his face, and he immediately replied in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely remember His Majesty's teachings and never forget!"

After listening to Kong Shangtan's assurance, the expression on Jiajing's face did not change, and he followed up with his command.

"Well, if you have this heart, it is excellent, I declare that from now on, you will be the new Yan Shenggong!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Kong Shangtan heard this, he bowed three times on the ground quite solemnly, and responded gratefully.

After this, Jiajing seemed to suddenly remember, turned his gaze to Kong Shangtan, and asked casually.

"Kong Shangtan, what are you going to do after becoming the Holy Duke of Yan?"

Hearing this, Kong Shang did not hesitate at all, and immediately replied in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, after Weichen officially becomes the Holy Duke of Yan, he will promulgate family rules at home to restrain the behavior of the clansmen."

"Make sure that the things recorded in the dossier that damage the face of my Kong family do not happen again!"

Jiajing did not comment on Kong Shangtan's words, but just nodded and spoke.

"Since that's what you think, let's go give it a try!"

Seeing that the matter had settled, Jiajing looked at Kong Shangtan, who was kneeling on the ground, and commanded.

"Alright, I have more things to attend to, you can leave!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Kong Shangtan heard Jiajing's words, his expression immediately turned grim and he replied in a deep voice.

After Kong Shangtan left the Qianqing Palace, he saw Jiajing turn around, look at Lu Fang on the side, and command.

"Lu Fang, you immediately go to the cabinet and tell them the news that Kong Shangtan inherited the Holy Duke of Yan!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave and maid will go now!"

When Lu Fang heard this, he immediately leaned down and responded respectfully.

After that, Lu Fang did not stay in the Qianqing Palace for too long, but left straight and walked in the direction of the cabinet.
