Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 531 Huh, an old man, what a deal with him!

Although Zhu Yunxie had made all the preparations, the result of the feedback still surprised him.

"Reporting to the Emperor Taisun, the fleet located in Huai'an Mansion came to report that the ship that Yan Shenggong was riding on had blown up a white flag, and they dared not stop it..."

"what?"

At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already returned to Beigong. After all, only he had the telegraph network for the whole country and the entire Far West.

When Zhu Yunxi heard the report from his subordinates, he was completely blindfolded.

"Shouldn't be!"

"Even though Old Man Kong is old, he wouldn't die if he was thrown by someone, right?"

"If Uncle Hu really fell and killed Old Man Kong, then this matter will become a big deal!"

The more Zhu Yunxi thought about it, the more depressed he became. The position of the Kong family in the entire Daming, and even the entire Daming Ocean, was unshakable.

Not only scholars in the Ming Dynasty respected the Confucian family, but also scholars in North Korea, Japan, Vietnam and other places also respected the Confucian family.

Once Yan Shenggong Kong Na dies, the entire Daming Ocean Rim region will be shocked!
"Come on, go to the palace and inform Uncle Hu, and tell him to pack his bags and go to Guihua City to hide. If it doesn't work, he will die there!"

When Xu Liuzi heard this, a layer of sweat instantly oozed from his forehead.

How could he have the heart to watch Erhu go to die?

"Your Highness, what serious crime did Lord Tiger commit?"

"A great crime?"

Zhu Yunxi glared at Xu Liuzi furiously.

"If it's really a serious crime, it's okay, but I can save his life if there is anything in the Great Ming Law!"

"But the trouble he got into today is a bit big, so big that Grandpa Huang can't keep him!"

Zhu Yunxie's words were really not alarmist. Once this incident broke out, the Kong family would not let it go. Even Lao Zhu would have to introduce a scapegoat to appease public grievances.

"never mind!"

"Let's go alone!"

In the afternoon, the sun had slanted over the western mountain, and the two tigers fell into a tired nap.

Just as he was hiding under the shade of a tree, listening to the noise of cicadas in his ears and snoring slightly, he felt a basin of cold water poured down.

"Who!"

"Who the hell is pouring water on the old..."

"Humble duty to pay homage to the grandson of the emperor!"

Seeing Zhu Yunxi standing in front of him, Erhu hurriedly bowed to salute him.When he saw the empty teacup in Zhu Yunxi's hand, all the grievances in his stomach disappeared.

"His Royal Highness, the grandson of the emperor, is really skilled. Such a large cup of tea has not even dropped a single drop on the humble face!"

Zhu Yunxi listened to Erhu slapping his ass in oblique ways, with a gloomy face showing a trace of unbearable.

"Uncle Hu, this time it's a serious matter, you have to go out and hide. When necessary, you even have to fight to the death!"

"what?"

When Erhu heard this, he was stunned on the spot.

"What's wrong?"

"The humble job did nothing wrong, why did the humble job die in battle!"

"Konne is dead!"

"hole……"

Erhu's face changed drastically, and he looked at Zhu Yunxi in disbelief.

"Who are you talking about!"

"You said old man Kong is dead?"

"It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"When the humble staff made a shot, it seemed that he was thrown out, but in fact, it was almost as hard as him falling and sitting on the ground!"

Zhu Yunxi said helplessly.

"The fleet of the Huai'an Mansion has sent a telegram, saying that the sea-going ship that Duke Yansheng called has hung a white flag..."

"White Banner..."

When the two tigers heard this, their eyes froze for a moment, and then they sat down on the ground.

"This……"

"Old man Kong hurt me!"

"I really didn't use my strength, he really wasn't killed by me, woo woo woo..."

The two tigers have been guarding Lao Zhu all year round, so how can they not know the seriousness of Kong Na's death.

Not to mention that he fell over old man Kong, even if he didn't fall, but just passed by old man Kong and saw old man fell to the ground to help him, he would have to pay for his life!

After all, he didn't fall, why did he go up to help?
"His Royal Highness, Erhu... the humble family members are entrusted to you, wow..."

Seeing Erhu crying like this, Zhu Yunxi couldn't bear it.But when he thought that he didn't want him to die at all, he felt depressed for a while.

"Take back your cat pee!"

"Who told you to really die, I mean to let you go to the front line to report a fake death, and then change your name and surname to hang around for a few years, and come back when this thing is over!"

"what?"

"Didn't you exchange the life of a humble official for another life!"

Zhu Yunxi said with disdain on his face.

"Is he worthy?"

"Apart from his surname Kong, which one is worthy of my loyal Uncle Hu's death?"

"what!"

Erhu never expected that he would have such a high evaluation in the hearts of the emperor's grandson.The tiger's tears that had already been withdrawn, at this moment, his nose was sour, and he couldn't help but flowed down again.

"Your Highness, according to your words, a humble job is worth dying a hundred times, woo woo woo..."

Seeing Erhu's posture like this, Zhu Yunxi felt very uncomfortable.

"Uncle Hu, you are different from him, no matter how famous he is, he is only a courtier, but you are..."

"My family!"

"Wow woo woo..."

Erhu cried even louder when he heard this, hugging Zhu Yunxi's thigh and weeping bitterly.

"Your Highness, I can't afford a humble job... I can't bear it, wow..."

Standing behind the two of them, Lao Zhu watched the performance of the master and servant with a hint of pride on his face.

This little Nisun is a fast learner, he has learned all our tricks to win people's hearts!

From now on, Erhu is completely against his grandson!
Erhu cried for a while, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw a touch of red clothes, and his heart was shocked.

"The humble job has seen the emperor!"

"Get up!"

"I'm going to be a grandfather soon, but I'm still crying like a child, and I'm not afraid of being laughed at!"

Hearing this, Erhu hurriedly got up, wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, and then stood aside in embarrassment.

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunxi, nodded approvingly.

"You did a good job!"

"Be responsible, know how to change, did not sacrifice loyal ministers to quell the incident, but found a way to preserve loyal ministers, and give the world an explanation."

Zhu Yunxi smiled modestly when he heard the words.

"It's all taught by Grandpa Huang!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he rolled his eyes depressedly.

This Ni Sun has a clever mouth, and he knows how to make himself happy all day long.

"get out!"

"If Kong Na is really dead, our royal family will have to pay homage to him!"

"You can pay homage instead of us, and bring our rewards with you."

"okay!"

Immediately, Zhu Yunxi returned to the North Palace, summoned a group of people from the Ministry of Rites to draw up posthumous titles, sacrificial articles, etc. When the battleship was ready, Zhu Yunxi could not wait for them to write the sacrificial articles, so he took Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and several other servants, and boarded overnight to Shandong. warship.

Fortunately, it would take two or three days at the fastest to go from Jinling to Shandong, which was enough for them to think about it on the way.

However, when they rushed all the way to Qufu, they found that Mr. Kong was sitting in the yard feeding the birds!
Zhu Yunxi stepped forward to check it out as if he had seen a ghost.

"You're not dead?"

When Kong Na heard this, he was so frightened that he even spilled the bird food box, and looked at Zhu Yunxi with horror on his face.

"Your Highness, I just don't want to be married to the royal family, so it's not a crime to die, right?"

"no……"

"I mean on the way...on the way, isn't your boat adorned with white flags?"

"oh oh……"

"It was someone else who died, and the old man was also on someone else's boat, so how can we not let others hang their flags!"

"Ugh!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at old man Kong with resentment on his face, feeling excited and angry in his heart.

"You scared Gu to death, Gu thought you were crazy!"

"Gah?"

Conne asked seriously.

"What does Ga mean, what is the meaning of the words, why has the old man never heard of this word?"

Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes, and instead of talking to the old man, he looked around the yard.

"Old Kongtou, where did you hide my brother-in-law!"

Kong Na understood this sentence, and said with an unhappy face.

"What is your brother-in-law!"

"Our Kong family never agreed to marry this family!"

"In addition, my grandson has long been married to the daughter of the Shandong chief envoy's family."

"If you think about it, even the royal family wouldn't do something to force people to stop their wives and marry another?"

Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly when he heard the words.

"of course not!"

"But what if the woman withdraws?"

"what?"

Kong Na was stunned on the spot when he heard this, then shook his head with a smile and said.

"impossible!"

"Political envoy Yang Yu is from an innocent family, and he can't do anything to regret the marriage!"

"Furthermore, our marriage was decided many years ago, and we can only get married when Yang Yu's daughter is of age."

Zhu Yunxi sneered again when he heard this.

"If you don't believe me, let's wait and see, you just wait for the Yang family to come and annul the engagement!"

"Then let's wait and see!"

"I don't believe the Yang family is like this!"

Zhu Yunxi flicked his sleeves and left angrily, but when he left, he still left a few Jinyi guards for the old Kong's family to watch the door.

Kong Na didn't care, so he sent people out in front of Jin Yiwei to buy items for the wedding.

Zhu Yunxi left on the surface, but he left a nail in the dark and ordered people to investigate the entire Yanshenggong Mansion.

In the middle of the night, Jin Yiwei's people returned to the Qufu County Government Office and reported the news of the investigation.

"Your Highness, there is a servant in charge under an attic in the west courtyard of the Kong family. The subordinates and others speculate that this may be the place where Kong Yanjin is hiding!"

Zhu Yunxi immediately became angry when he heard the words.

"What is hiding!"

"My brother-in-law is not a criminal, he was just hidden by the family!"

"Yes Yes!"

"Humble job is wrong, Kong Yanjin should be hidden there!"

"Humph!"

"Send a few people to get it done, and don't let them make any noise!"

"Also put a ladder on the wall so I can get in and out..."

"promise!"

Not long after, the able-bodied members of Jin Yiwei took advantage of the night to climb over the wall and knocked out several servants of the Confucian Mansion unconsciously.

When they were finished, they hurriedly opened the door of the attic and went in to see if Kong Yanjin was locked inside.

After confirming that the man tied to the pillar with a sackcloth in his mouth was Kong Yanjin, the group of Jin Yiwei retreated without saying a word.

This made Kong Yanjin look stupid. What's the matter with these guys, they found him, and they didn't say to help him untie the rope?

That so-and-so, don't look at him wearing a mask, I really don't see that you are Xu Liuzi!

You wait for me, I have to wear small shoes for you when I return to the capital!
Just when Kong Yanjin was indignant, he saw a familiar figure walking in.

He stared wide-eyed, full of disbelief.

Grandson of the emperor!
Why is the grandson of the emperor here!

Got it!

The grandson of the emperor must know what happened between him and Mingyue, so he wouldn't kill him secretly, right?

When Kong Yanjin was accompanying Zhu Yunxie to work in Beigong, he had heard Zhu Yunxie say more than once that if anyone dared to bully his sister in the future, he would have to chop that person into pieces!
Zhu Yunxi was also taken aback when he saw Kong Yanjin tied to the pillar, thinking to himself that Xu Liuzi and others would not do anything.Even if they didn't help Kong Yanjin untie him, at least they had to take out the sackcloth from his mouth, right?
Zhu Yunxi stepped forward and tore off the sackcloth from Kong Yanjin's mouth. After Kong Yanjin's mouth was freed, he hurriedly took a few deep breaths.

"Thank you, grandson of the emperor!"

"Humph!"

"Wait for Gu to help you untie the rope, and then Gu will settle accounts with you!"

Kong Yanjin felt uneasy when he heard this.

However, after Zhu Yunxi untied it a few times, he found that the rope was tied tightly and could not be untied at all.He simply took out a dagger and cut the rope behind Kong Yanjin.

After Kong Yanjin regained his freedom, he just moved his arms and legs a few times when he saw Zhu Yunxie looking at him with an unkind expression, holding a gleaming dagger in his hand.

Kong Yanjin was so frightened that he knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Your Highness, please calm down, I... I have been convicted..."

"What's your fault?"

"This humble minister can't help himself, he has delusional thoughts, and he has desecrated Princess Jiangdu's innocence..."

"Why do you want to hide it from Gu!"

"It's in vain that I trust you so much, but you don't even say a word, it's really despicable!"

"My minister... I dare not..."

"You do not dare?"

Kong Yanjin said bitterly.

"Your Highness is majestic and natural, and humble ministers are always by your side, how dare you tell your love for your children?"

"Furthermore, His Highness is eager to protect his sister, and often threatens to punish his future sister-in-law severely, so the humble minister is even more afraid..."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Kong Yanjin with disdain upon hearing this.

"Coward!"

"I really don't know where Mingyue has her eyes on you!"

Kong Yanjin said shamelessly when he heard the words.

"It should be Weichen who is handsome, right?"

"puff!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Kong Yanjin angrily, and kicked him away with one kick.

"Can you show some face, you are more handsome than me!"

Kong Yanjin got up from the ground, knelt back to the original point, and said with a smile.

"This minister is definitely not as magnificent as His Highness, but among all the young and talented people in the court, this minister can be called outstanding, hehehe..."

Seeing Kong Yanjin being so shameless, Zhu Yunxi could only sigh helplessly.

"Ugh!"

"You, you...you don't learn so many advantages from Gu, but you are just like Gu, and you actually tell the truth!"

After Zhu Yunxi said this, he moved a stool and sat opposite Kong Yanjin.

"Tell me, what are you going to do about this?"

Kong Yanjin's thoughts changed when he heard the words, since this matter has alarmed the emperor grandson, then the emperor grandson must have a way to fulfill himself.

Therefore, he played a small game and threw the problem to Zhu Yunxi.

"A humble minister, but the emperor's grandson is the master!"

Zhu Yunxi didn't like this, the reason why he climbed over the wall in the middle of the night was to see if this guy was determined.

"Stop it!"

"Gu didn't mean to come to kiss, and Gu heard that you had a marriage contract with the daughter of Shandong's chief envoy?"

"no!"

"This was made overnight by my grandfather and my father. Miss Yang and I have never even made an appointment..."

Zhu Yunxi sighed helplessly when he heard the words.

"Oh, what can I do? Parents' orders, matchmaker's words, even orphans have to obey."

"You'd better listen to Yan Shenggong and marry Miss Yang."

Kong Yanjin was dumbfounded when he heard this. He never expected that the grandson of the emperor would say such a thing.

"Emperor Grandson, are you serious?"

Zhu Yunxi gave Kong Yanjin a playful look.

"So what if you're not serious?"

"Your grandfather said that even the royal family has no reason to force people to stop wives and remarry!"

"Furthermore, my royal family also needs face. It's not that my royal daughter can't get married, so I have to rely on your Kong family!"

Kong Yanjin's face turned pale when he heard this, and he sat on the ground slumped.

"If His Highness says so, then the only way for this humble official to die is to prove his will!"

"Your Highness, please go back and tell Princess Jiangdu that Kong Yanjin is sorry for her. If there is an afterlife, I will be like a cow and a horse to repay her favor!"

Zhu Yunxi's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Kong Yanjin quite unexpectedly.

"Do you dare to commit suicide?"

"Do you have the courage?"

When Kong Yanjin heard Zhu Yunxie's joking words, he just silently pulled out a dagger from his boot.

"Wei Chen has long thought about it. If grandfather insists on not following, then Wei Chen will have to die!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the dagger in Kong Yanjin's hand, and looked at the determination on this foolish boy's face, secretly marveling, maybe this foolish boy really dares!
"Okay, Gu knows your determination!"

"You and Mingyue's matter will only be taken care of, not only will you two be fulfilled, but also the Confucian Mansion will happily agree to your marriage!"

Kong Yanjin couldn't hide his joy when he heard this.

"Is this true?"

"Of course!"

"When does Gu's words not count?"

"But my grandfather..."

"Hmph, an old man, what a deal with him!"

Kong Yanjin wanted to plug his ears when he heard the words, the grandson of the emperor was too impolite, to scold his grandfather like this in front of his face, this is putting himself in a position of unfilial piety.

"What are you doing now?"

"Go with Gu, or stay here as a filial son and grandson?"

A trace of hesitation flashed across Kong Yanjin's face when he heard the words, and he sighed after a while.

"Let's go with His Highness, lest they tie me up again!"

"it is good!"

The news that Kong Yanjin was rescued soon reached Kong Na's ears.

Kong Na was not surprised to hear this. He has been in the capital all year round, how can he not know the methods of Jin Yiwei.

Not to mention the ordinary servants of the Confucian Mansion, even the important places of the Hou Mansion can't guard against these people.

"Father, this kid has run away, what shall we do next?"

The old god Kong Na is here.

"Good job!"

"You go to the Yang family overnight and finalize the marriage with them."

"What about Yanjin?"

"It's the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. You, a father, didn't let go. How dare you make a private decision for life?"

"Even if he dares, the royal family can't agree!"

Kong Gongjian thought it was true, the royal family must be continuous, if he did not get the consent of the Kong family, he would never marry the princess rashly.

Therefore, it's useless even if the rebellious son of his family runs out, and he has to obediently come back to ask for his consent in the end.

"it is good!"

"Son, I'm going to the Yang family to finalize this matter with the Yang family..."

A few hours later, Kong Gongjian returned home beaming.

"Father, my son has already negotiated with the chief envoy. The chief envoy patted his chest and promised that even if the emperor's grandson forced him with a knife, he would not withdraw the engagement!"

Kong Na nodded in satisfaction.

"After all, the Yang family is a well-known family of poets and books, and their character is still good!"

"Although we are too hasty in marrying the daughter of the Yang family this time, it is still a good match in all fairness!"

"Yes!"

"Father's words are true!"

As soon as Kong Gongjian finished speaking, Menzi hurried over.

"Master, something is wrong, the Yang family sent someone to withdraw the marriage!"

"what!"
