Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Menzi's words frightened the father and son Kong Na and Kong Gongjian into stupidity. The two stared blankly at each other, and then Kong Na raised his arm vigorously and slapped his son hard.

"Didn't you say that everything has been arranged, and I promise not to call off the engagement!"

"Our Kong family has been divorced. Where do you want the faces of the ancestors of our Kong family to be placed!"

"What face will you let us Yanjin live in from now on!"

Kong Gongjian covered his face, there was no grievance on his face, only bewilderment and doubt.

"It shouldn't be, my son clearly made an agreement with the Yang family, and they all patted their chests to promise it!"

"Also, the Yang family doesn't seem like someone who is afraid of imperial power, they can't do such a thing of repenting and remarrying..."

Kong Na also knew the roots of the Yang family, and was puzzled by it.

For a family like the Yang family, reputation is much more important than official position.Even if he offends the royal family and loses his official position, as long as he maintains his reputation, future generations can still rise on the road to Qingyun.

Therefore, they will not do such contradictory things.

It's just that things have happened, and they always need to know the truth.

"Tell me about it, what did you tell the Yang family at that time!"

"The son is..."

Kong Gongjian faltered, and told the whole process of his going to Yang's house.

In Kong Gongjian's narration, the chief envoy of Shandong was indeed a hard-headed person. Even though Kong Gongjian spoke harshly in person, Yang Yu was not only not afraid at all, but also quite angry.

"No reason!"

"Even if it is the royal family, there is no reason to force people to marry!"

"Brother Zhaowen, don't worry, my mouth, Yang Yu, is a nail. Even if the grandson of the emperor forces me with a knife, I will definitely not resign the engagement!"

Seeing Yang Yu's resolute attitude, Kong Gongjian bowed deeply to Yang Yu gratefully.

"Brother Yang, Gao Yi!"

"Whether my Kong family can preserve its reputation or not depends entirely on Brother Yang. It's just that, because of this, my daughter-in-law was a little wronged, and married without all the three matchmakers and six courtesy..."

"But don't worry, if Ling'ai marries into my Confucian residence, she will definitely not suffer any grievances!"

Seeing Kong Gongjian's posture so low, Yang Yu also felt that his face was very respectable.

"Oh, brother Kong is serious!"

"Our two families got married, it's true that my family is a senior, so there's nothing wrong with it..."

"This is the Spring and Autumn Period that my family has treasured for generations. It is the Sanjue compiled by the ancestor Wei. Today it is a dowry gift and is used for engagement."

Hearing this, Yang Yu was so surprised that his eyeballs almost fell out.If this scroll of bamboo slips is really the "Spring and Autumn Annals" revised by Confucius himself, it would be a very expensive dowry gift.

Even if it is to be brought back to the Kong family as a dowry of the daughter of the Yang family, it shows that the Kong family respects their own family.

"Brother Kong, this item is too expensive, and my Yang family can't afford it. I hope you can quickly take it back and exchange it for another item!"

"No no no!"

"Brother Yang is not afraid of imperial power, and has the character of a scholar-bureaucrat, which is suitable for such a ritual thing as the righteousness of "Spring and Autumn"!"

"Brother Kong!"

"Brother Yang..."

Just as the two of you pushed me to give way, someone suddenly reported outside the door.

"My lord, there are Jin Yiwei outside the door..."

Before the concierge could finish his sentence, he was kicked away by two domineering Jin Yiwei.

The two kicked away the porter of the chief minister's yamen, then rushed into the chief minister's hall, and said to Kong Gongjian and Yang Yu.

"Which of you two is Yang Yu?"

Seeing that the two were so rude, Yang Yu's old face sank immediately, and he stepped forward and said coldly.

"The next thing is, I don't know what advice the two angels have!"

"Emperor Taisun Luanjia will arrive in a few days, so hurry up and order someone to prepare for the pick-up!"

Yang Yu shouted angrily when he heard the words.

"absurd!"

"When did the grandson of the emperor come to Shandong? Why has the official never received the imperial court's letter?"

"The emperor's grandson came out in a hurry this time. I guess the court's writing is still on the way?"

"Then I have nothing to do. Without the court's writing, I will not make any preparations!"

"You are so brave, you dare to delay the matter of the emperor's grandson?"

"Who knows if someone is bluffing and cheating under the banner of the emperor's grandson?"

"Come on!"

"Arrest these two people and put them in the prison of the procurator's yamen for strict interrogation!"

As soon as Yang Yu said this, the yamen servants outside the door suddenly showed embarrassment, complaining in their hearts that their chief minister was not open-eyed, and dared to confront Jin Yiwei.

Seeing Yang Yu's reluctance to get in was quite a headache for the two Jinyiwei. If the two of them were really arrested by a group of yamen servants, they would never even think about raising their heads in Jinyiwei for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, while the yamen servants were hesitating, the two hurriedly drew out the Xiuchun knife, stared at Yang Yu viciously, and retreated from the yamen servants.

"Yang Yu, you will regret what you did today!"

"Let's go!"

"Humph!"

After Jin Yiwei left, Yang Yu snorted disdainfully.

"A group of dog-like things, really think that wearing black leather can do whatever they want!"

"It may be possible in other places in Daming, but not in this official's territory!"

Kong Gongjian saw that Yang Yu dared to be tough even in Jin Yiwei, and his evaluation of Yang Yu was more than a dozen steps.

"Brother Yang is really a famous scholar in the world, this move will definitely be passed down as a scholarly talk!"

"Brother Kong is not weak, he has no fear in front of Jin Yiwei."

The two flattered each other, and Kong Gongjian left immediately.After Yang Yu sent Kong Gongjian away, he hurriedly summoned all the officials in the Shandong chief envoy's yamen and told them to arrange for him to pick him up.

Pretending to be pretending to be coercive, he really didn't dare to slack off about the matter of the emperor's grandson's Luan driving to Shandong.

Now that the old emperor has let go of his affairs, all the six ministers in the imperial court have to go to the emperor's grandson's northern palace. If he, an outside official, does not curry favor with the emperor's grandson, do he still want to be in the officialdom?
However, his hospitality is also conditional, that is, not to disturb the people, but to gather some wool from the local wealthy businessmen and gentry.

It's not that he is so benevolent, it's really not easy to add factions randomly now.

There are three major institutions in the local area, the supply and marketing cooperatives, the post office, and the health center, all of which are directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor's grandson.

In addition, the Jinyiwei Thousand Household Office in Jinan Prefecture is responsible for monitoring the local officials in Shandong.

As long as he dares to collect taxes indiscriminately, these eyeliners will report the Shandong matter to the imperial court through the telegraph system of the Post Office on the same day.

When the time comes when the court is responsible, even if he has [-] mouths, he still won't be able to speak clearly.

Just as Yang Yu assigned the task and was about to go back to catch up on sleep, he heard urgent shouts from outside the door.

"My lord, something is wrong. The grandson of the emperor has arrived, and he is already at our door!"

"What!"

Yang Yu looked at the pitch-black sky outside, and thought to himself that it must be the fifth watch, and the grandson of the emperor rushed over in the middle of the night?
"Hurry up and get my official uniform!"

"promise!"

Yang Yu hurriedly changed into his official uniform and went to the yamen to meet Luanjia, the grandson of the emperor, under the service of two servants.

"Yang Yu, the Minister of Shandong Province, pays homage to His Highness the Emperor Taisun, His Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old..."

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Gu heard that the Yang family had a young girl who had just grown up and was raised in a deep boudoir. She was born beautiful and hard to give up on. Once she was chosen in..."

Yang Yu hurriedly continued after hearing the words.

"Once elected in the Confucianism sect."

"Serving your parents-in-law shows your filial piety, and you are well-known for being a husband and a child."

Zhu Yunxi laughed when he heard the words, and thought that Yang Yu is really a bit stubborn, it seems that he is determined to destroy his sister's good deeds!
At this time, Zhu Yunxie was no longer the grandson of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, but the little Xiongxie incarnated as a pet sister and mad demon.

Whoever dares to make Zhu Mingyue unhappy is his worst enemy!

"You are very interested, and you are still in the mood to fight against Gu Yinshi...?"

Zhu Yunxi deliberately accentuated the word "against" and mocked Yang Yu with a pun.

Yang Yu was unmoved by the words, and still knelt on the ground straight to report back.

"Reporting to Your Highness, I am not against His Highness, I am just telling the truth."

"The minister has already accepted the dowry from the Kong family, there is absolutely no reason to change the marriage contract!"

Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly when he heard the words.

"I can only see that you are an official!"

Facing Zhu Yunxie's threat, Yang Yu not only remained unmoved, but instead saluted and kowtowed.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for fulfilling the task!"

"you!"

Zhu Yunxi did not expect that this little-known Yang Yu turned out to be so tough.

If it were an ordinary official fan, they would have already rushed out of the city to welcome him when they heard about him.

Instead of giving a grand reception, this person hid in the yamen to sleep, and he was a bit of a literati.

"What if you die?"

Yang Yu couldn't help but tremble when he heard this. Although the emperor's grandson is famous for his benevolence and righteousness, he still has the blood of the old Zhu's family in his body. Who can guarantee that he doesn't have the bloodthirsty habit of old Zhu?
Therefore, Yang Yu didn't feel that Zhu Yunxi was joking at all, nor did he feel that he was testing himself, but that the other party really wanted his life!

After all, this matter is related to the reputation of the royal family. It seems that compared with the reputation of the royal family, a mere chief minister is nothing.

"My humble minister... my humble minister..."

"Sacrificing one's life for righteousness, killing one's life for benevolence!"

After a lot of ideological struggle, Yang Yu finally found the home of his soul and gave himself a shot of hypnotic chicken blood.

Zhu Yunxi frowned secretly when he heard the words, and looked at Yang Yu who was kneeling on the ground through the gauze curtain, full of bewilderment and doubts.

Could it be that this person is really a tough guy?
"Go down first, I will call you later!"

"promise!"

Yang Yu got up quickly when he heard the words, and retreated instinctively, but unexpectedly tripped over the threshold of the yamen.

Only after he got up from the ground did he realize that the carriage of the emperor's grandson was parked on the road, where should he be told to retreat, could it be that he retreated outside the city gate?
Fortunately, no one paid attention to Yang Yu's movements. Seeing that Yang Yu left Zhu Yunxi ten feet away and no one paid attention to him, Yang Yu was also happy to hide in the corner and be quiet.

After Zhu Yunxi sent Yang Yu away again, he immediately recruited Jinyiwei Qianhu who was specially dispatched to Shandong.

Zhu Yunxi has always had the idea of ​​turning Jinyiwei into a supervisory agency, following the procuratorates of later generations, and it is currently being implemented on a pilot basis across the country.

However, in order to ensure the purity of the team, he mainly selected from the younger generation of Jinyiwei disciples.

These people don't have the tact and sophistication of the old Jin Yiwei, and they have a kind of drive to do things.

Not long after, Qianhu, the Jinyiwei Qianhu Office of Beizhen Fusi stationed in Shandong, rushed over in a hurry.

"The humble grandson Tigan, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun!"

"Tell Gu about Yang Yu's official voice?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, this person is fairly clean as an official, and he has never heard of accepting bribes, corrupting the law and other acts."

"Although there are some irregularities, they are basically in line with official practice."

"Oh?"

"Tell me in detail!"

"When recruiting, more will be collected to give sweets to the servants and squad leaders of the government office."

"It will also be cleverly set up to ask wealthy businessmen and gentry to donate money to build bridges, roads, and schools."

Zhu Yunxi said in admiration upon hearing the words.

"He's a capable person!"

"Your Highness's words are correct. This person is indeed a person who does things, but he is a bit stubborn and cherishes his reputation too much."

"What does this mean?"

"It is said that after he became an official, many people in his family wanted to join him, but he refused..."

"For this reason, the clansmen in Master Yang's hometown complained about it."

"There is also this person who pays great attention to reputation. He once almost beat his daughter to death because she said a word to outsiders through the wall..."

"hiss……"

Zhu Yunxi gasped when he heard the words, and secretly thought that this person really has the demeanor of a wealthy family.

"How about his daughter?"

"May I ask Your Highness, which daughter are you asking about?"

"Has he had many daughters?"

"Three men and six women..."

Zhu Yunxi said sourly when he heard the words.

"It's quite productive..."

"Tell me in detail!"

"promise!"

"Your Majesty Yang's eldest son was studying at the Imperial Academy. It is said that he has been released from office and is serving as the county magistrate in Shangyuan County. The second son was also studying at the Imperial Academy, but was inspired by His Highness to transfer from the Imperial Academy to the Hope School to teach, and now works in Beigong. The three men are still at the age of weak crowns, just enlightened..."

Zhu Yunxi blushed in embarrassment when he heard the words, what does it mean to be inspired by me, isn't that the group of people I snatched from the Imperial College?

Unexpectedly, Yang Yu's son was an official in his North Palace, and he could see him when he had time.

"It's his daughter who asked alone!"

"oh oh……"

"The eldest daughter is already married, married to..."

"The second daughter has just reached the age of Ji, and she is the one who is currently negotiating marriage with the Kong family."

"The third daughter is ten years old, and the fourth daughter was born less than a month ago..."

"How does the second daughter look like?"

Sun Tiqian, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, looked at Zhu Yunxi in surprise when he heard this.

"His Royal Highness, why don't you meet in person, it's better than hearsay from a lowly position?"

"Uh uh..."

"good idea!"

"This daughter of the Xuanyang family has an audience!"

Yang Yu was hiding under the big tree in the yamen to do psychological construction, when he heard these words, he almost fell down.

The grandson of the emperor wants to see his daughter!
This... There is absolutely no reason to refuse, right?
If the little girl's appearance is favored by the emperor's grandson, wouldn't she be able to become a grandson's concubine?

Although the emperor's grandson now has a main concubine, two side concubines, and a Taoist companion, he has no heirs.

As long as his own daughter can give birth to a dragon heir, with the eagerness of the old emperor to look forward to his great-grandson, he might be able to promote his own daughter to be a concubine!

As soon as Yang Yu thought of this, he pinched his thigh fiercely, and cursed himself inwardly.

mean!

Dirty!

Shameless!
I have already accepted the dowry from the Kong family, how could I have such dirty thoughts in order to cling to the royal family!
Although Yang Yu scorned himself severely, he was still faintly excited when he thought that he might become the father-in-law of the emperor's grandson.

Their Yang family has long been so poor that only their reputation is left. If they cannot occupy a place in the court in the future, their family will be crossed out from the list of aristocratic families sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Yang Yu secretly made a decision against his ancestors!
"Come on!"

"Hurry up and order the second lady to dress up and come to meet His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager!"

"promise!"

After Yang Yu ordered his servants, he hurried to the door and said courteously.

"Your Highness, the little girl has already fallen asleep, and it will take some time to get up and wash up. If Your Highness does not give up, you might as well enter the main hall of the yamen and wait for a while!"

Milk another book to see if I can milk it to death, wow quack.

Recommend friend Luo Xiufanfa's new book "Zhang San, please respect yourself!" "

I, Zhang San, must be a good person!
I swear by the eight generations of legalist ancestors!

What! ?The ancestral grave just exploded! ?
