Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 875 After today, there will be no more Kong family in Qufu

"Eight hundred miles in Shandong, hurry up!"

"Eight hundred miles in Shandong, hurry up!"

The messenger rushed all the way into the capital, which attracted the attention of the people in the capital.

"Last time it seemed to be an urgent six hundred miles?"

"That's right. Last time, Prime Minister Zhang's army landed in Shandong by surprise, and caught those officials who were corrupt and perverted the law by surprise. This time, we are in a hurry. Could it be that Prime Minister Zhang's army has already taken Shandong?"

"If this is the case, that would be a good thing! Think about the years when Prime Minister Zhang was in charge of the world, the Ming Dynasty was flourishing, and all nations came to court, and we ordinary people can walk on the street with our heads held high, and the prices are stable. , as it is now, you can’t even afford a bucket of rice.”

"Who says it's not? If Master Zhang's army arrives here in Shuntian Mansion, they will have to help lead the way and open the door."

"Looking at this, the imperial court should have suffered a big defeat, it deserves it, it deserves it!"

The common people discussed in low voices, which caused the shopkeeper of the teahouse to be a little scared: "Several, don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs, don't die."

Ever since the Datong Party landed in Shandong, Zhu Youjian's expression has changed, and Shuntian Mansion has become more stringent. Yamen guards and Jin Yiwei have searched the streets of Datong remnants, openly extorting bribes and blackmailing, and the people are miserable.

Once you can't satisfy those yamen servants, you will be charged with arguing about the government and the remnants of Datong, and you will be put in a big prison and tossed.

Originally, the people in Shuntian Mansion, the good land under the emperor's feet, should have no shortage of food and clothing, but now the income of the people in Shuntian Mansion is getting less and less, rice is getting more and more expensive, prices are skyrocketing, the market is chaotic, and the people The people are in dire straits, but the prices of various things have risen sharply, and the imperial government only issued precious banknotes instead of gold and silver to save the market. The influx of a large number of precious banknotes into the market did not have any rescue effect at all, but completely collapsed the already unsustainable market. .

Nowadays, the people in the capital are living in a difficult life, lacking clothes and food, and complaining one by one. In addition, the servants of the government are acting recklessly and rampantly, and the children of noble officials are even more arrogant and arrogant. I scolded my mother in my heart.

Now hearing the news that Zhang Haogu's army has attacked Shandong, many people are looking forward to Zhang Haogu rushing to Shuntian Mansion, so that the big guy can return to the good old days.

The common people and businessmen are looking forward to Zhang Haogu coming, but Zhu Youjian doesn't want Zhang Haogu coming to the capital at all, especially under the current circumstances, wouldn't it be that the living Cao Cao came to the capital to seek power and usurp the throne?

After issuing the imperial decree to ask Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, to block Zhou Yuji's army and buy time for Zhu Chunchen, Zhu Youjian actually held the hope that Xue Lian could defeat Zhou Yuji independently. Liaodong was hit.

However, the facts prove that the Chongzhen Dynasty abandoned the original policy of elite soldiers, abolished the new laws and new policies and lowered the status of soldiers, promoted Confucianism again, and even vigorously promoted Donglin Party members. , and instantly turned into a soft-legged shrimp.

To put it bluntly, the brothers received more silver in a month during the Tianqi Dynasty than in two years during the Chongzhen Dynasty, and during the Tianqi Dynasty, food and housing were controlled, and the meals were full. One small meat every day, three days a big Hun, as well as formulating detailed training plans and exercises. At that time, there was a rush to fight, and the rewards that should be paid for winning the war were not small at all.

But now?
Heh heh, two coins a month, what the hell are you playing for? One shot just before the battle is worthy of the Ming Dynasty. Considering the emperor and Shangguan, at most two more shots will be fired. After all, firing too many guns will consume gunpowder and bullets Yes, these brothers have to pay for it themselves.

Zhu Youjian didn't know what kind of life the officers and soldiers at the bottom were living. He just felt that one hundred thousand beat thirty thousand, and no matter how they fought, they should win.

However, the eight hundred miles in Shandong hastened to destroy Zhu Youjian's hope.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. On April 26th of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Xue Lian, the governor of Shandong, ignored the persuasion of Shandong governor Wang Shunyi and others. Annihilation, abandoning artillery and armaments is useless!"

"There is not one soldier in Shandong who can fight. Now the three prefectures in Shandong are full of rumors. Datong bandit soldiers are roaring in each prefecture as if they are in no one's land. Shandong is in danger!"

"What?! Xue Lian lost?! Who told him to take the initiative!" Zhu Youjian was shocked, and quickly took the military newspaper to check.

Sure enough, the governor of Shandong, the chief envoy of Shandong, the inspector of Shandong and other officials jointly made a statement: It's not that they didn't work hard, but that dead man Xue Lian must be blamed!

In the military newspaper, Shandong governor Wang Shunyi and others gave a very detailed introduction, including how much manpower and material resources were concentrated in this half of Shandong, how much money they worked hard to collect, and how many weapons they prepared. They were all in response to Xue Lian. Ask for supply to the front line, now that half of the resources in Shandong have fallen into the hands of Datong thieves, Shandong is completely in danger!
According to the thinking of Wang Shunyi and others, when the three of them become tigers, Zhu Youjian will definitely investigate Xue Lian, who has never seen anyone alive or dead. The three of them were naturally relieved.

However, Zhu Youjian is a person who does not follow the rules. He is a stubborn and suspicious person. Now the three of Wang Shunyi are of this caliber. As officials of the imperial court, it is their responsibility to guard the land, and now they have led to the loss of half of the country. Immediately send someone to remove their official robes and send me to prison!"

That's right, according to normal logic, it should be to label the dead and appease the people who are still alive. Everyone compromises with each other, and everyone is fine.

But Zhu Youjian didn't think so. His idea was: Xue Lian is dead, he is the chief culprit, and he deserves it.

But even though Xue Lian is 90.00% [-]% wrong, isn't it true that the local officials in Shandong are not [-]% wrong?
Now that Xue Lian can no longer be found, it is necessary to win a few important ones to shock the court and the world, so that the officials of the world know that Zhu Youjian is still the emperor who says nothing, and the emperor of Ming Dynasty is still majestic. no big tomorrow
In short, Zhu Youjian needs a few people who are responsible, and the dead cannot replace the living, so Zhu Youjian still focuses on Wang Shunyi and others.

So when Wang Shunyi and the others were still dreaming about using a few coins to go to other places to continue to serve as governors, they did not wait for the court's warning and appeasement, but instead waited for the Jinyiwei and the prison car.

After the angel finished reading the imperial decree, Wang Shunyi and the others, who looked bewildered, kept shouting grievances, but it was useless to shout grievances at this time.

After all, the governor of Shandong can't even look down on Shandong, so what's the use of you as a governor?

A governor who has lost his place, that is, he can rub as much as he wants.

Wang Shunyi and the others were full of joy and thought that everything would be solved if Xue Lian and the [-] troops were killed, but they never thought that they had put themselves in the trap this time.

In fact, they don't blame them, after all, Zhu Youjian is such an emperor.

As long as you are still useful and have some local strength, Zhu Youjian will not attack easily, but once you are useless and your power is gone, then Zhu Youjian killing you is no different from killing a chicken.

When Wang Shunyi and the others were sent to Beijing in a prison car to wait for Qiuhou to be executed, another bad news came from Shandong: "Eight hundred miles away from Shandong, Yanshenggong's family was captured by the bandit Zhou Yuji, and Zhou Yuji wanted to fill Yanshenggong's family." Cut off!"

When this news reached Zhu Youjian's ears, Zhu Youjian really sat on the wax!

Lord Yan Sheng!

That is the descendant of Kong Shengren, Yan Shenggong, the core of the world's cultural context.

Where did Zhou Yuji, a martial artist, have the guts to arrest Yan Shenggong's family in the Ming Dynasty, where the gentlemen were noble and the martial arts were humble? !

This must have been instigated by that living Cao Cao in Liaodong!

He really deserves to be a living Cao Cao. After taking the sword to the palace, entering the court and not becoming famous, and worshiping without being famous, he is burning books and burying scholars. The next step is to replace the Ming Dynasty, right? !
And Zhang Haogu is not worried that the cultural context of the world will be turbulent, and scholars will criticize him?

How dare he be so disrespectful to Yan Shenggong's family? !

While Zhu Youjian was puzzled, he suddenly saw Wen Tiren and others hurried into the hall: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the scholars knew that Yan Shenggong's family had been captured by the Datong thieves, they were outraged and asked the court to rescue Yan Shenggong's family. "

"This is a matter of course. Yan Shenggong's lineage is the Wenzong of the world, and it is the core of the lineage. How can I turn a blind eye?" Zhu Youjian said this verbally, but he muttered in his heart. Zhu Chunchen went to Shandong at this time. is that useful?

Shi Fenglai and Yang Changsi are also smart. They saw Zhu Youjian's careful thinking, and knew that Zhu Youjian was very conflicted at the moment. He neither wanted to see Yan Shenggong's family be beheaded nor suffer too much loss. Tian just wants to take advantage of it without paying the price.

So Shi Fenglai quickly knelt down: "I'm guilty, so far I can't gather the food and grass needed by the army."

Zhu Youjian's eyes brightened: "Since this is the case, why don't you hurry up to prepare food and grass? I will issue another imperial decree to Zhang Haogu, asking him to entertain Yan Shenggong's family in a good life. He must not be neglected, otherwise Wang Shi will come. You must die without a place to die!"

The corner of Yang Changsi's mouth twitched, Your Majesty, are you worried that Yan Shenggong's family will die soon enough?

But Zhu Youjian's mind has been set, he is a small emperor, without the heart and sense of grandeur that an emperor should have, he is timid in doing things, and he looks forward and backward.

It was a decisive decision when Zhu Chunchen was ordered to lead an army to conquer Liaodong, but he turned back quickly afterwards; after Zhou Yuji landed in Shandong, he ordered Zhu Chunchen to conquer Zhou Yuji in Shandong. After the army, Zhu Youjian fell into hesitation again.

With such a capricious emperor on the stand, what else can he say?
It was already May when the imperial decree issued by the capital was delivered to Zhang Haogu.

Sure enough, Zhou Yuji swept Shandong within [-] days. First, he quickly won the land of the three prefectures, and then defeated the Shandong soldiers and horses in a decisive battle. After that, he easily won the entire land of the six prefectures in Shandong just like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. .

Now the whole of Shandong is under the control of the Datong Party members again, and this time, the Datong Party members will never withdraw like before.

Liaoning, in the Hall of Qinzheng, Zhang Haogu looked at the imperial decree sent by Zhu Youjian, and couldn't help laughing after reading it: "Our Emperor Chongzhen is looking forward and backward again, and he is still the same petty man, so he can't achieve great things."

Lu Xiangsheng laughed and said: "Yes, as an emperor, he has no heart and vision, his mind is full of intrigue and scheming, he acts furtively, without any grandeur. When this matter comes to an end, he is still hesitating."

"Yuanfu, now we have caught all of Yan Shenggong's lineage. These people are locked in Yan Shenggong's mansion. Zhou Yuji has come here three times to ask how to deal with it." Zhang Ruitu said.

Zhang Haogu picked up the teacup and took a sip, then slowly said: "To tell the truth, Elder Master and Jiandou, I am thinking about this right now."

"The lineage of Yan Shenggong will definitely be abolished. Yasheng even said that the gentleman's luster will decline in the third generation, and be cut off in the fifth generation. How many lives has the Yan Shenggong lineage lasted from the early Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty? How many dynasties?"

"The spirit of the old master Confucius, I'm afraid he doesn't want to see these younger generations who bully men and women in the name of the most holy teacher and run rampant in the countryside ruin his reputation so much."

"This line of Yan Shenggong will definitely be abolished, but what about the Kong family?"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Yuanfu is still moved with compassion."

Zhang Haogu smiled: "That's right, there are too many Kong family members. There are so many direct descendants and branches. If you hate the first descendants and want to drive them all to extinction, that's not our reason."

Zhang Ruitu suddenly laughed and said, "Speaking of which, our Datong Society doesn't have our own laws yet, right? We still use the new laws of the Tianqi Dynasty. Should we have our own laws belonging to our Datong Society? A law that is more suitable for the people of the world?"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "That's right, we should have our own laws. Take the new law as an example, modify and compile the laws of our Datong. The Ming Dynasty has the Law of the Ming Dynasty. Why can't we Datong party members have the Law of Datong?"

"In my opinion, the treatment of the Kong family this time is a very good opportunity."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Well, yes. Then who is more suitable to go to Shandong to handle this matter?"

Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a while, then said, "How about Taichong?"

"After all, it is to represent the center of our Datong society, and it is also to deal with important events that affect the world such as Yan Shenggong's family. Everyone in the world must be watching."

"But if you really let us go, it seems that you are giving him too much face for the Kong family. It is better to let Tai Chong go. Your status and position are suitable, and you have been teaching by your side for so long. You should go and see for yourself."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Then let Taichong go for a while, and go to Shandong to promote our Datong law. The content is tentatively set as a new law, let the people adapt first, and tell the people that we are back again."

"Okay, let's do it this way, use the new law to deal with the Kong family, and let the world see, we are back again." Lu Xiangsheng smiled happily.

A few days later, a large treasure ship docked at Laizhou Port. Huang Zongxi, director of the central secretariat of the Datong Society, got off the treasure ship and hurried forward when he saw Zhou Yujishi waiting at the port: "How dare you bother the general to come and wait in person."

Zhou Yuji laughed, but he didn't care about it: "I heard that you're here, so I'll stop by to greet you. After all, you, the director of the secretariat, are no worse than me, the president of the two towns."

"The general is joking, how can I compare with the general." Huang Zongxi smiled wryly, he really did not expect Zhou Yuji to come in person.

"Let's not talk about these polite words. I came here mainly to ask Taichong what Yuanfu means. There are so many people in the Kong family locked up in Yansheng Gong's mansion, and it is very noisy now." Zhou Yuji asked decisively. Out of the mind.

Huang Zongxi was stunned: "Is the general afraid that the central government will release the Kong family?"

"That's not the case, I'm just worried that the Kong family will be given a lighter sentence." Zhou Yuji said.

Huang Zongxi smiled and said: "General, this is too much to worry about. Although Yuan Fu did not intend to kill them all, he will never let the Kong family, the direct descendants and branches of the Kong family, so many people who do evil and harm the place. According to the law of Datong, the sentence should be the same as the sentence, and the surname of the innocent person should be changed."

"Yuanfu means that people with the surname Kong will not be allowed in Qufu in the future. Qufu is the Qufu of the common people, it is the Qufu of the Datong Society, except that it is not the Qufu of the Kong family."

Zhou Yuji laughed and said: "Okay, that's how it should be. One family and one surname occupy the place and cause disaster for thousands of years! There is no such thing as a thousand-year dynasty or a thousand-year-old family in this world. Even princes and generals are in a hurry for a hundred years. Treating Qufu as your own private property, treating the people as livestock, cattle and sheep to drive them around at will, and even flattering the barbarians, is really a scourge left over from the millennium, and it should be eradicated!"

"Let's go, let's go, I'll accompany you through this journey, I've long wanted to watch the Kong family come to an end."

A few days later, a piece of news spread throughout Shandong: the center of the Datong Society has come, and the Kong family is going to be put on trial.

After the news spread, students, gentry, merchants and ordinary people from various prefectures rushed to Qufu. This is the public trial of Yan Shenggong's family.

What is Dare to be the first in the world?
When the time came to the day of the trial, Qufu had already been surrounded by students and gentry from all over the place. On the high public trial platform, Huang Zongxi was sitting on it wearing an official robe, while Kong Yinzhi, the contemporary Yansheng Gong, and others were tied up Follow and listen and deal with it.

After all, these people are getting older, and Datong Society has no reason to force people to kneel. In addition, respect the old and love the young, let Yan Shenggong stand and press it. The coffin has been lying down.

After counting the time, Huang Zongxi slapped the gavel: "The public trial begins now!"

"Take a prisoner"

In front of the people of Qufu and the students and gentry who came from Shandong and other places, Huang Zongxi detailed the numerous crimes committed by the Confucian family, each of which was full of crimes. The unknown tenants and servants were all stained with the blood and tears of the people of Qufu.

After counting the crimes in detail, some people came to the stage to complain. As a large number of people came to the stage to complain, crying about the crimes of the Kong family, the people in the audience couldn't bear their emotions. Facing the biggest landlord and the biggest dignitary in Qufu, The darkest and most vicious family, the people endured it again and again, and finally waited for the Datong Party to make decisions for the people!

But those members of the Kong family could not help but tremble when they watched the common people criticize and listened to many people telling about the things they had done, and looked at the big shiny blade one by one. Now, the next step is to walk on the guillotine.

Huang Zongxi looked at the sanctimonious Kong family, who were full of male thieves and female prostitutes, and snorted coldly and threw the death lottery: "According to the law of Datong, I will sentence you to death!"

"After today, there will be no more Kong family in Qufu!"

"cut!"
