In front of Qufu City, the gate is open, and the Ming soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets are dignified and dignified, holding spears, standing in front of the city gate, and are heavily guarded.

The red official robes, which are rare on weekdays, appear here in groups at this moment, and what is even more unexpected is that the three leaders are all wearing robes, and they are one of the few vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty today.

Behind them, a large number of young people with flying and complacent expressions were talking to each other, babbling something.

These young people with complacent expressions are all from the Kong clan in Qufu City.

Kong's is one of the best overlords in Qufu.

Although there are still three vassal kings here, in terms of power, these three vassal kings can only eat and drink, drink and sleep, although the court has no money, but they will not treat a contemporary prince like him badly.

In terms of power, these three kings cannot be compared with the Kong clan in Qufu, where the Kong clan can be regarded as the real 'vassal king'.

Qufu has been the land reserved for the Confucian family for generations, and the wealth of Yan Shenggong is even more amazing, just the Confucian temple sacrifice field, there are hundreds of thousands of acres. In addition, in the past hundred years, the Confucian family has used many means to make more than 100,000 hectares of land?

...... throughout Shandong

No, in the whole Daming!

The Kong family is a large landowner who is second to none.

Therefore, the young man born in the Kong family is extremely proud, complacent, and self-proclaimed to be of saint blood, and in private, even the children of the royal family will secretly scold the 'nouveau riche', and they don't look down on it at all.

And in front of these young people, there was a man with a felt hat and a tightly wrapped top of his head, who didn't want to be seen and was depressed.

He was supported to stand in front of the tower, with deep regret in his eyes.

He is the contemporary Yan Shenggong, Kong Yinzhi.

Because the imperial court has not yet issued a holy decree to depose the title of Duke of Yansheng, Kong Yinzhi is still the Duke of Yansheng of the Ming Dynasty...... Not only that, but there are also two other 'holy decrees' in his family, which come from Dashun and Daqing respectively.

He has now attained the highest achievement that the ancestors of the Confucian family had not achieved.

He was named the Emperor of Yan of three regimes at the same time!

It is precisely because of this supreme achievement that Kong Yinzhi is also like ashes.

Some people are alive, but they are dead.

This sentence can fully describe Kong Yinzhi's current state.

And those who have the same idea as Kong Yinzhi, as well as Dewang Zhu Youli and Hengwang Zhu Youdi, are both depressed, only Lu Wang Zhu Yihai smiled slightly, full of spring breeze.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Suddenly, a fast rider came from a distance to report, and after hearing the news, Zhu Yihai smiled, immediately stepped forward, and smiled at the surrounding dogs and ministers who had surrendered: "Everyone, come with me and go to meet His Majesty Sejong!" ”

As soon as he thought of this, King Heng, King De and Yan Shenggong, the smiles of these two kings and one prince all stiffened, and they could only bite the bullet and take the honor guard to the direction of Zhu Houyu to meet Zhu Houxi's king and dragon.

After seeing Zhu Houxi's dragon and the towering Ming army with the army, Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, couldn't help but sigh, and a touch of envy flashed in his eyes: "It's really a great tomorrow soldier, and I am invincible tomorrow!" ”

However, this envy was fleeting, and Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, immediately hid this idea deep in his heart, and then he was very respectful, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and bowed to Zhu Houxi's driving and said:

"Zhu Yihai of the Lu Domain, with the Heng Domain and the De Domain, to meet His Majesty Emperor Sejongsu, and respectfully ask Your Majesty Sheng'an!"

King Heng and King De hurriedly followed the example of King Zhu Yihai of Lu and knelt down to greet him.

And with the three kings kneeling like this, the officials and children of the Kong family who followed naturally did not stand still, and saluted Zhu Houxi one after another, but they did not bow three times and bow nine times: "The ministers respectfully ask Your Majesty, Holy Bow!" ”

Zhu Houxi, who was slender and handsome, and fluttering like a fairy, raised the curtain, wore a black and gold dragon robe, stepped down step by step from the dragon, looked at the surrounding vassal kings and ministers who knelt down like ears of wheat blown by the wind, and nodded: "I am safe." ”

Hearing Zhu Houxi's response, the ministers dared to get up.

After the ministers got up, Zhu Houxi did not talk to these ministers, but said to Lu Bing and Yu Dayou beside him: "Garrison Qufu, change the guard, and let the guards of Qufu rest." ”

"The last general commands!"

"Obey Your Majesty's Sacred Decree!"

Yu Dayou and Lu Bing received orders one after another, and the accompanying sergeants and Jinyi guards began to move.

In the face of Zhu Houxi's hand, everyone was unexpected, but no one dared to say anything.

After all, their virtues of Yan Shenggong, King De and King Heng were wrong, and they did not stand on the moral high ground this time.

And the reason why Zhu Houxi asked the soldiers to change the defense of Qufu was naturally to prepare for the next big event.

The Kong family has been deeply cultivated in Qufu for a hundred years, and the officers and soldiers here are not so much the Ming army, but rather the private soldiers of the Kong family, and the Kong family also has families and farmers, if it is really intentional, it is not a problem to pull out an army of twenty or thirty thousand.

Therefore, controlling Qufu is equivalent to cutting off the last reliance of the Confucian family and mutiny.

And the Kong family still doesn't know what's going on...... In other words, they didn't dare to believe what Zhu Houxi was thinking in his heart.

Seeing that the change of guard went smoothly, Zhu Houxi did not continue to pay attention to this, but turned his head and looked at Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, who was proud, and immediately said: "Qing is the king of Lu?" ”

"Your Majesty, Xiao Wang is Lu Fan." Zhu Yihai was a little respectful.

Zhu Houxi didn't talk much nonsense, and asked directly at Zhu Yihai: "Let me ask you, do you dare to get on the horse to lead the troops, get off the horse and settle the people, like the vassal king of the Hongwu Dynasty, and guard the territory for my Ming Dynasty?" ”

Hearing Zhu Houxi's words, Zhu Yihai was stunned, and a raging fire immediately burned in his eyes, and a catalyst called ambition began to hatch for it.

For a vassal king who wanted to make a career, Emperor Yongle's policy was too cruel.

Zhu Yihai said sonorously: "Xiao Wang is willing!" ”

Zhu Houxi continued to ask: "If you move to Nuer Gandusi, Mongolia, Korea, or even Japan, are you willing to do so?" ”

Hearing Zhu Houxi's words, Zhu Yihai hesitated for a moment, then his ambition swallowed up his worries, and he immediately nodded: "If Your Majesty wants Xiao Wang to go to the front line against Jiannu, Xiao Wang is willing to go!" ”

"Okay."

Zhu Houxi nodded, and then said with a smile: "Enter Beijing from now on, inform Emperor Chongzhen of your thoughts, and he will arrange for you." ”

When Zhu Yihai heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" ”

Although the place he went to was most likely a bitter cold place on the border, Zhu Yihai just enjoyed the feeling of being in power!

However, the eyes of King Heng and King De were full of horror, they were afraid that Zhu Houxi would let them do this, out of the town and the real power of the vassal king.

Just kidding, how many pounds and taels are they for? Wouldn't it be eaten up even the bones when you go to the frontier?

In Shandong, such a safe place, Jinan City will be breached once, and the previous King of Germany was arrested to study abroad, and going to the frontier is not equivalent to studying for generations?

Seeing the frightened eyes of the two of them, Zhu Houxi was very disgusted: "You also deserve to go out of town?" ”

Yes.

If these two wastes go out of the town frontier, they will definitely throw away the territory of the Ming Dynasty!

"Spread the decree, abolish the De Domain and the Heng Domain, and confiscate all the jewels in the two feudal mansions, Lu Bing, you will personally take Jinyiwei to do this! If someone stops you, you will order Zhang and Wang to divide two teams into two teams for you! Zhu Houxi said coldly.

Lu Bing was not familiar with it at the beginning, but now he has copied his family and copied his experience, nodded immediately, and immediately took Jinyiwei to Qingzhou and Jinan.

"Escort the Deshu people and Hengshu people to Beijing, how to deal with them, it is up to Emperor Taizu Gao!"

When Dewang Zhu Youli and Hengwang Zhu Youqi heard this, their legs instantly became weak, and they even cried bitterly on the spot regardless of their image.

They inquired during this time, inquired about the fate of the Qin Domain and the Jin Domain, and felt that there was more than one bad luck.

And Zhu Houxi would not take care of the two of them, but continued to look at Kong Yinzhi, the Holy Father, which made Kong Yinzhi's scalp tingle.

The surrounding Kong family was already overjoyed, their eyes were full of greed, and they waited for Zhu Houxi to ask Kong Yinzhi about it, without any intention of excusing Kong Yinzhi.

After all, in their minds, if the Yan Sheng Gong makes a mistake and is abolished, then the position of the Yan Sheng Gong will be deposed from this line and transferred to the other.

Therefore, Kong Yinzhi made a mistake, and not only did they not feel sad, but they even felt unusually excited...... Of course, on the surface, you still have to put on a crying appearance.

"Yan Shenggong, are you guilty?"

Zhu Houxi looked at Kong Yinzhi calmly, and said to Kong Yinzhi: "Kong clansmen, can you be guilty?" ”

"The sinner is guilty!"

Kong Yinzhi knelt on the ground, trembling, and kowtowed: "Minister...... The ministers are ashamed of the ancestors, ashamed of Your Majesty, and the ministers are ......"

Hearing Kong Yinzhi's words, Zhu Houxi slammed the book in his hand on his face and scolded angrily: "You really deserve to die!" But what you're saying is just a damn point for you! ”

"I'm asking, are you waiting for the people of the Kong clan, can you be guilty?!"

He came here today to make a big move, but it wasn't for a mere Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi.

It's to purge the entire Yansheng Gong Confucian family!

It's time for the saint's legacy to end.
