Chapter 70: I lost my father and my son
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Kong Kejian, with a heartache on his face.
"Seeing that Old Master Kong is like this, I am also very distressed, so let's give the Kong family a mansion and let Old Master Kong retire in the capital! Qufu is not as livable as Yingtian, and there are not too many famous doctors......
Master Confucius is in Yingtian, and I can ask someone from the Taiyi Bureau to treat Mr. at any time! ”
Boy!
Kong Kejian and Kong Xixue were like being struck by lightning, and the Hongwu Emperor in front of them was too ruthless.
Kong Kejian is in love with the previous dynasty, right, the emperor asked you not to even say that the Holy Duke of Yan couldn't say it, and he directly detained you in the capital?
Zhu Yuanzhang's methods were one after another, directly cutting off all the back roads of the Confucian Mansion.
The emperor's retention of Kong Kejian in Yingtian is equivalent to taking the predecessor Yan Shenggong as a hostage.
Kong Xi was in a hurry, and he hurriedly said:
"The emperor's intentions, the ministers keep it in mind, but let the father stay in the capital alone, as a son of man, how can the minister bear it?
Ask the emperor to let the ministers take their father back to fulfill their filial piety! ”
He was really frightened this time, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang was unmoved, not angry but laughing:
"The so-called hundred virtues and filial piety come first, I understand the intention of the Holy Father, I ask you, do you have a son?"
Kong Xixue didn't understand what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, but replied:
"There is a son, the name is Kongne!"
"Isn't that easy to do, wouldn't it be good for you to send your son to Yingtian to serve the old man, as the Holy Father of Yan, you have your own responsibilities, but your son can do his filial piety on your behalf, this is the best of both worlds, you don't have to worry about your son's education, I will send him to the national prison when the time comes, and find him the best teacher......"
Kong Xixue was dumbfounded, emperor, can you still be like this?
Just take the old father as a hostage, the emperor is not even ready to let his son go?
Kong Xixue really wants to slap himself, he is now losing his father and losing his son!
The second generation of the Kong family was detained by the emperor in the capital, and it seems that the Kong family does not want to be bound to the Ming chariot, and it is impossible.
The father and son of the Kong family smiled bitterly at the same time.
They had better pray that the Ming Dynasty would go to the end, because even if one day the Mongols really won the Ming Dynasty and went south, the Yansheng Mansion might continue the incense of the past, but it must have nothing to do with Kong Kejian's branch.
"Why aren't you happy?"
Kong Xixue's disguided appearance made Zhu Yuanzhang unhappy, and he pointed at Zhang Normal and said:
"Zhang Zhenren can take the initiative to leave the child in the capital, the son of the Zhang family is not a son, and your Kong family is delicate?"
When it came to this, Kong Xixue couldn't help refusing.
He bowed his head and said:
"Minister, obey!"
"Okay, drink!"
Lao Zhu completed the layout in his heart, and he raised his wine glass and toasted everyone.
Xu Da, Zhu Biao, thoughtful.
Kong Xixue held the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, but the wine was bitter, just like his mood at this time.
But Zhang on the side tasted a hint of sweetness from the wine, and if he hadn't deliberately controlled it, he would probably laugh out loud.
If there are any words to describe his mood at this time, Lao Zhang only thinks of a word that Zhang Yi hangs on his lips, refreshing......
He's so cool!
It turns out that seeing others unlucky is even happier than getting benefits for yourself!
Everything that the Kong family's father and son have experienced, in fact, Zhang Normal also experienced it two months ago, and the only thing that makes Lao Zhang fortunate is that he knows more than the Kong family.
The king in front of him can't tolerate the slightest disobedience from others, but the Zhang family knows how to advance and retreat, but he saves the Zhang family.
Zhang Normal recalled that from the time the emperor sent a letter to Longhu Mountain to the time when he was arranged to enter the palace, he had already understood the king's intention of beating the Kong family with the help of Longhu Mountain, the emperor wanted the world to see, you obey me, I will not be stingy with your benefits......
But if you want to resist, the emperor's means will let you know what is called the emperor's mental technique,
The reward and privilege that the Zhang family received was the knife that the emperor stabbed on the father and son of the Kong family.
Thinking about this, Zhang Normal not only did not pamper and be arrogant, but had a deep awe of Emperor Hongwu's methods.
But this does not prevent Lao Zhang from being dark, before he entered the palace, although the Kong family's disdain for him was not explicit, it could be clearly perceived.
The grievances in front have now turned into the joy of eating melons.
The way he wanted to laugh but couldn't help laughing made the Kong family father and son even more uncomfortable.
Kong Kejian's body trembled, almost uncontrollable.
Kong Xi's student was afraid that his father would be a gangster, so he hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, my father is unwell, and I ask the emperor to allow the minister to retire first!"
"Go, I will send the Imperial Doctor to check the old master's body!"
Zhu Yuanzhang personally stood up and sent the Kong family father and son out of the side hall, which was regarded as a full surface effort, and the Kong family father and son went all the way out of the palace and got into the carriage.
With no one around, Kong Kejian finally couldn't help it and burst into tears.
……
On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and returned to the side hall.
The scene fell into a brief and eerie lull.
"Xu Da, what do you see?"
Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to ask Xu Da beside him, Xu Da took a sip of wine and said:
"Yan Shenggong's illness, I'm afraid it's not a pretending ......"
Xu Da has watched it for so long, but he still sees through Kong Kejian's disguise!
"What?"
Of the people present, probably only Zhang Normal didn't know about Kong Kejian's pretending to be sick, and when Xu Da revealed the truth, he understood why Zhu Yuanzhang was so ruthless......
Traitor!
Zhang Normal had heard Zhu Biao's evaluation of the Kong family, and seeing that Kong Kejian was willing to pretend to be crazy and stupid in order to leave a trace of thought in the north, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed out that Sang scolded Huai and said that he was a traitor, but he didn't wronged him when he remembered it.
Lao Zhang sighed for a while, it turned out that he was the only one who was the stupidest of all the people present.
Zhu Yuanzhang exposed Kong Kejian's disguise, but he did not dwell on this matter.
He looked at the youngest person on the scene with interest, Zhang Yuchu.
At this time, Zhang Yuchu was still in a state of confusion.
"Why don't you speak?"
Lao Zhu cleaned up the Kong family, he was in a good mood, and he did a good job of teasing the child.
Zhang Yuchu stammered: "Huang ...... Your Majesty, I'm ...... I don't know what to say? ”
"Hahaha!"
Emperor Longyan Dayue, but Zhang Yuchu, who was questioned, was in a state of confusion, and he had been confused since he entered the side hall to participate in acting.
Huang He, the best friend of his father, who drank together yesterday, turned out to be the current emperor?
Zhang Yuchu's small heart really can't afford such exciting news!
Fortunately, he was smart, and after being hinted at by Zhang Normal, he honestly didn't speak, and Zhu Yuanzhang also saw everything in his eyes.
"You're nice, not like your brother, it's annoying!"
When Lao Zhu praised Zhang Yuchu, he didn't forget to step on Zhang Yi.
"Since you helped your father sort out the matter of the pox method, I will reward your father and reward you, do a good job, and Longhu Mountain may go to a higher level in your hands in the future!"
"Uncle Emperor Xie!"
Zhang Yuchu hurriedly thanked the emperor.
"Zhang is normal, you take your son to enter the palace again tomorrow, and I will discuss the pox method with you in detail!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sent away the Zhang family's father and son, and then turned around and asked Xu Da beside him:
"Xu Da, do you know why I insisted on letting you come back from the front?"
Xu Da was stunned, didn't the emperor just let him escort Yan Shenggong?
