Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 505 If you don't accept it, sue me (two in one)

Qufu, Yanshenggong Mansion.

Kong Yanzhi has been a little melancholy recently, not because of the mourning everywhere in Qilu, but because of the recent land division policy of the imperial court.

It has been 64 generations since the Kong family inherited Shenggong to his generation. For nearly a thousand years, every time a new king ascends the throne, he will definitely reward the Kong family. Even if the dynasty changes, it will have no effect on the Kong family.

After many generations and many years, two-thirds of the fertile land in Qufu belonged to his Confucian family, and Qufu became synonymous with his Confucian family.

Qufu is the Confucian family, and the Confucian family is Qufu.

However, the imperial court wanted to take back the land of the Kong family with a mere imperial decree!

God!This is not only rewarded by the Ming court, but also up to the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty...

Why?Kong Yanzhi just wants to ask the court, have you forgotten where the sage books and the talents of managing the world come from?
But alas, it is of no use. A few days ago, the imperial court sent officials to Kong’s house to check the land deeds. Originally, the officials of the household department wanted to accommodate him and leave more good land for Kong’s family, but an eunuch from Dongchang who accompanied him just snorted. Dare not speak any more.

"Father, Thirteenth Mother is crying again, go and have a look." A middle-aged man hurriedly said, and wanted to go out after speaking.

"Yes, I see. Where are you going? Are you going to hang out with those bastards again? Go back to the old man!" Kong Yanzhi yelled at the eldest son, and walked towards the inner courtyard without hesitation.

If the fertile land is gone, it will be gone. The Kong family has survived so many changes in the past thousand years, and he believes that it will not be long before the court rewards will follow. It will not take a few generations for the Kong family to still be the symbol of Qufu.

It's just that his No. 13 concubine has become more and more outrageous recently because of her pregnancy.

This concubine is the fourth daughter of Lingbi Hou Tang's family. I thought it was his natal family before, but now this Tang family has been demoted to common people, so she dared to make the Kong family go crazy. It's really unreasonable!

Kong Yanzhi walked through several corridors, and passed the Zhongfu Garden and an alley. Along the way, the servants of the Confucius Mansion saw his unhappy face and dared not say anything. Before he reached the inner courtyard, Kong Yanzhi heard the conversation. crying.

"What are you crying about? Look at you, it's getting worse and worse. It's really an embarrassment to the Kong family!" After all, Kong Yanzhi was getting old, and after walking for a long time, he pointed at a man who looked only two The ten-year-old woman scolded.

"Master, the concubine's father wrote a letter a few days ago saying that the family is going to be in trouble. You have a lot of connections in the court, please help the Tang family!" Get up and continue to beg.

"Isn't the old man already walking around? Don't make trouble anymore. Be careful to move your fetus." Although Kong Yanzhi was angry on his face, he still couldn't stop the fairy-like woman from pleading.

He married thirteen concubines, all of them were ladies of great families, but the old ones were old and dull. Only the housekeeper of Lingbihou's family was the one who liked him the most, but the only shortcoming was his small temper. many.

It's just that in the current situation, he just happened to be this concubine. Most of the old ministers who had made friends with him before the court turmoil were ransacked, and the rest of them were all unable to protect themselves. Foreign affairs.

"Come on, go to the warehouse and get 5000 taels of silver to send to the Tang family." Kong Yanzhi felt guilty, and walked while supporting his thirteen concubines, who were as big as his granddaughter.

5000 taels of silver is enough for a family to eat for a lifetime, and even a large family can last for a year or two, but this Tang family is too expensive. The 2000 taels sent last month, which is less than a month, was given again. Lost.

Although the money was nothing more than a drop in the bucket for his Kong family, it couldn't stand being squandered like this all the time.

"My lord, there are many officers and soldiers outside, and there is a man who calls himself a lord...you are asked to greet him, he is a bit unfriendly." A maid rushed in without paying attention to salute.

"What are you panicking about? Where did the prince come from, how dare he come to the Kong family to act wildly?" Kong Yanzhi said casually.

Although Yan Shenggong is the Duke of the state, his symbolic significance in Daming is extraordinary, and the prince of Daming has no authority. He is not always smiling when he sees him, even if he visits, he has to wait in line.

Where did the prince come from, he dared to bring soldiers to see the old man, Kong Yanzhi's mind turned, and he thought of something.

"Report to Master, it's the King of Anguo County." Unexpectedly, this maidservant could answer, because Liu Hongjian is really famous in Shandong.

Sure enough, Kong Yanzhi's face darkened when he heard the words, and he could think of why the Anguo County King led his troops to the door with his toes.

Recently, the rice grains of the surrounding gentry families were all taken away by the Anguo County King, but he never expected that this prince would dare to make an idea of ​​his Kong family.

If he really doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, isn't he afraid that he will be poked in the back by scholars all over the world?

"Kong Lianshun, hurry up and gather the young men in the family to gather in the front yard." Kong Yanzhi ordered boldly, and followed him out, leaving only the concubine of the Tang family who had won 5000 taels of silver and was full of joy.

……

"My lord, it seems that Kong Yanzhi doesn't dare to open this door anymore, or else, the humble officer ordered someone to smash this door?" Wu Binghao, a general of the Three Thousand Battalion, stood behind Liu Hongjian and waited for no one to come to greet him. Feel a little impatient.

He experienced being forced by landlords for debts when he was young, and he didn't have a good impression of these big landlords.

He doesn't care what the family's name is, anyway, the prince will take care of it if the sky falls, as long as Liu Hongjian gives an order, and the boys from the guard camp don't need to do anything, he, a thousand soldiers from the Beijing camp, can tear down the Confucian mansion Upside down.

"Shut your beak!" Liu Hongjian turned around and said something to this boy who was afraid of chaos.

Creaking—the vermilion door of the Kong family was pulled open, and Kong Yanzhi walked out, followed by seven or eight strong servants.

"The king of Anguo County is here, and the old man Kong Yanzhi is far away to welcome you." Kong Yanzhi smiled and went forward to bow his hands and salute. Although he knew that the comer of the evil star was not good, but as a descendant of the Kong family, the etiquette that he should have is still have to.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, this king came here uninvited, you are the contemporary Yan Sheng Gong?" Liu Hongjian got off the horse, but when he saw a blessed old man, he was a little disappointed.

There is not even a trace of the old Confucian tradition in this place, he is clearly a wealthy old rich man who is a philistine.

"I'm just here. I don't know what the King of Anguo is doing here?" Kong Yanzhi was neither humble nor overbearing.

"I have heard that the sage Confucius upholds benevolence and righteousness to govern the country, and he will give all his money to help when there is a disaster in the four directions. Seeing that the natural disasters in various places in the mountains are not enough, the people are starving to the ground. As the descendants of the sage Confucius, Yan Shenggong will not sit idly by. Bar.

To be honest, the king came here this time in the hope that Lord Kong would open a granary to release grain and save the suffering people who were dying and struggling on the verge of starvation. "

After all, he was famous as the sage of Confucius, so Liu Hongjian bowed and explained the reason clearly.

"Going back to the lord, it's not the Kong family who can't do it. It's a year of natural disasters, and the servants of the Confucius family are very expensive, and there is no surplus food to help the people."

Kong Yanzhi had already thought up his rhetoric, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, he wanted to see what kind of tricks this young man who had been deified by outsiders dared to play.

"Oh, there's no food in stock!" Liu Hongjian said softly without getting angry.

"Returning to the prince, it is true, and the old man feels very guilty." Kong Yanzhi made a distressed expression on his face.

"I don't believe it, unless you let me ask someone to search for it." Liu Hongjian raised the corner of his mouth, the etiquette has been exhausted, since it doesn't work, don't blame me for being polite first and then fighting.

"My lord, do you know where this is?" Kong Yanzhi pointed to the plaque behind him, which was bestowed by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty.

"Thank you for reminding me, this king is still literate, why are you still standing there, Chang Yu, send troops to search!" Where would Liu Hongjian have time to play Tai Chi with this landlord, his goal is only one, food!

"How dare you! The Kong family has always been kind to me in all dynasties. How dare you, a prince, disobey His Majesty?" Kong Yanzhi was so angry that he stretched out his hand to block the gate.

"I would rather watch the people starve to death than take out the moldy grain, is this the benevolence and righteousness of your Kong family?
Your Majesty said earlier that a pig that has been raised for 300 years is not as good as a pig that has been raised for 300 meters. What do you think?
Get this old thing out of the way! "Liu Hongjian roared.

Chang Yu didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately rushed into the Confucius Mansion with hundreds of personal guards. Liu Hu, who is nearly two meters tall, sandwiched Kong Yanzhi like a big fat monkey. Break free from Liu Hu's embrace.

"Kong Lianshun, stop these bandits for me!" Kong Yanzhi yelled at the servants in the Confucius Mansion.

The Confucian Mansion covers a very large area, and it is the largest building complex in the Ming Dynasty except for the Ming Dynasty Palace. Emboldened.

It's just that these servants who are arrogant and domineering on weekdays still have enough power to deal with the local ruffians and tenants who bully the poor. When they see the soldiers rushing in with real swords and guns, they immediately show timidity on their faces.

Especially the group of people in the Beijing camp were all made from the mountain of blood and blood. Their eyes turned red when they saw the blood. When Wu Binghao pulled out his sword, the legs of the man named Kong Lianshun fluttered.

"What are you still doing in a daze, stop this group of robbers, I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver!" Kong Yanzhi knew that Liu Hongjian didn't dare to do anything to him, but his face turned red when he was restrained by the reckless man behind him.

"Noisy!" Liu Hongjian turned around and said something, Niu Dabang went forward and hit the back of Kong Yanzhi's head, and there was no movement immediately.

"Father—you...you are bold, the Holy Land of the Confucius family is something that you stinky soldiers can get your hands on. I'm going to the capital right now to seek revenge from His Majesty!"

Seeing his father being treated like this, Kong Xingxie, the eldest son of Kong Yanzhi, came angrily, but was pushed to the ground by the two big soldiers and ate a mouthful of mud.

Liu Hongjian ignored the distraught middle-aged man, walked to the courtyard and sat down in a gazebo.

He knew that for thousands of years, whenever foreigners invaded, the descendant of Confucius, Yan Shenggong, was always the first to proclaim his vassal.

He also knew that without his existence, Kong Yanzhi, No. 60 fourth-generation Yansheng Gong who was canonized by Chongzhen, would write a letter to persuade the Qing Dynasty Tartars to enter the customs the day after.

And in the "Chu Jin Biao Wen", he praised the monarchs of the Qing Dynasty for "inheriting the sky and governing the sky, and suspending the people with virtue", "the six universes wear the gods together", "the emperor of the eight wastelands and salty songs", "the mountains and rivers and the sun and the moon meet each other". ", "Han Bingyong, the fellow of Guozuo".

He also claimed in trepidation that "the ministers and others are steadfast in Confucianism, Zhang Jian is at the end of his life, and he has inherited the great kindness of generations. Today, he celebrates the prosperity of the new dynasty, looks forward to the admiration of learning, and fears the future."

Tens of millions of Han Chinese were trampled on by iron cavalry, enslaved, and killed. Blood flowed into rivers and their bones were everywhere.

Your Confucian family enjoys the praise of the Han people and has such a great reputation. For thousands of years, no "descendant of the Holy Gate" has been able to stand up and organize the people to rise up as "righteous soldiers" to resist foreign invasion.

No matter how bad it is, even following the small court of Nanming is more benevolent than kneeling and licking foreign captives.

This was the case when Mite Qing entered the customs, and it was even more so when Menggu invaded the Song Dynasty. Thinking of this, Liu Hongjian became furious, and really wished he could kill this guy directly.

As soon as the Beijing soldiers with live ammunition entered the Confucian mansion, hundreds of Confucian family members Ding Dang even withered, their sticks were taken away by the soldiers, and they squatted in the corner of the wall with their heads in their hands and shivered.

Not long after, Chang Yu came to report that ten or twenty huge granaries were found in the backyard of the Confucian mansion.

Liu Hongjian only said one word, move!

There were thousands of refugees following Liu Hongjian's army, so the brothers from the Beijing camp also took action, and there was too much food.

The Qufu county government office was requisitioned by Liu Hongjian, and it took more than two hours for all the ox carts and horse carts in Qufu county town that could pull things.

Finally, after statistics, the grain pulled out from the Kong family was more than 8000 shi, which shocked the whole city!
After the food was delivered, Liu Hongjian released Kong Yanzhi and Kong Xingxie. Kong Yanzhi woke up with straight eyes, but all the servants he raised were downcast, knowing that the matter was irreversible.

"My lord, I remember that you have issued IOUs for food collection. Why don't I have any?" Kong Yanzhi walked up to Liu Hongjian again and said angrily.

Now, the only thing to do is to recover some losses as much as possible, more than 4 shi of grain, which the Kong family has saved for several years, and the value of only silver taels is at least 10 taels, which is not a small number for the Kong family.

"This king said that Confucius was benevolent and righteous all his life, and it was his duty to rescue the victims. How could he talk about the smell of money? This is a righteous act, and this king is doing good for Confucius.

So, no IOUs! " Liu Hongjian sneered in his heart, this old man is really a money fanatic.

"You... this old man will go to the capital tomorrow to face the saint, to expose your banditry in front of His Majesty, and to engage in swordsmanship in the holy land of the Confucian family. Just wait, the scholars in the world will make you pay the price!"

Kong Yanzhi was furious, and walked towards the inner courtyard with a flick of his sleeves.

"Complain? It's up to you! You've offended me, and your Kong family will have no place in Daming!" Liu Hongjian pointed at Kong Yanzhi.

A family whose courtyard is comparable to the Daming Palace, this is overstepping. How many nasty things have your Kong family done over the years, can you still explain it in words?
People all over the world respect Confucius, not you Kong Yanzhi!
It was getting dark, Liu Hongjian didn't stay any longer, got up and left the Confucian mansion, but just arrived at the Qufu county government office, there were already a few unfamiliar officials waiting here.

"Reporting to my lord, the dam in Shandong has already been built, Mr. Hong knows that the lord is in the cave, so I specially ordered my subordinates to invite the lord to watch the ceremony!"
