Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 535 Is Shixiu a descended family?

Confucius House.

After Kong Na learned that the Yang family had divorced, he had been thinking about leaving the family.However, he asked the famous family nearby, but was rejected by the other party because he did not dare to climb high.

At this point, Kong Na realized a serious problem, that is, their Kong family was isolated by a grandson of the emperor!

But even so, Kong Na was still unwilling to compromise, and directly convened a meeting of the clan elders, intending to expel Kong Yanjin from the clan, so as to preserve the reputation of the Kong family.

Kong Na's move can be said to be a strong man cut off his wrist, and the method is quite ruthless.

Just when the Kong family was hesitating, a group of Jin Yiwei rushed in.

After Jin Yiwei rushed in, he didn't make any drastic moves, but stood calmly behind each elder of the Kong family, then drew out the Xiuchun knife from his waist, and put it on everyone's neck.

When Jin Yiwei controlled a group of old men in the house, Zhu Yunxi walked in with a leisurely expression.

"Meet the emperor's grandson!"

The elders of the clan looked at me, I looked at you, and at each other's knives around their necks, they could only shout together in aggrieved manner.

"Meet the emperor's grandson!"

Zhu Yunxi ignored this, and just walked in the direction of Kong Na. The Jin Yiwei standing next to Kong Na moved Kong Na and his chair to the side on the spot, and then snatched Kong Na from under a younger little old man. A chair came over and looked at Zhu Yunxi with a flattering expression.

"Your Highness, please sit down!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Xu Liuzi, who had never changed his mind, and could only sit down helplessly.

"What are you doing, take your knives away!"

"If you meet a bloody person and kill yourself with your knife, where are you going to reason!"

When all the guards in Jinyi heard this, they withdrew the saber from their necks, and returned it to the scabbard with a "swipe".

Seeing this, the elders in the Confucian family's ancestral hall secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to breathe a word, let alone speak.

Only Kong Na's face was full of unhappiness, and he asked angrily.

"His Royal Highness, what do you mean by this move, is it possible that you want to take care of the private affairs of my Kong family?"

"The clan elders of my Kong family have just discussed it properly, and Kong Yanjin's clan status will be removed from now on!"

This was why Zhu Yunxi refused to let Kong Yanjin come, fearing that he would not be able to accept the blow, or would shrink back under the pressure of the clan.

"Old man Kong, why are you doing this?"

"If it wasn't for my sister, who happened to fall in love with your family, Kong Yanjin, even if you begged me on your knees, I wouldn't even bring your family to propose marriage!"

Conne said without showing any weakness.

"Then please ask the emperor's grandson to be perfect, and quickly order someone to release Kong Yanjin!"

Zhu Yunxi said with a depressed face when he heard the words.

"I mean if!"

"Now my sister is not Kong Yanjin who will not marry, and Kong Yanjin is not my sister who will not marry. How can I, who is the eldest brother and uncle, see a happy marriage being broken up?"

"Furthermore, I am a majestic Zhuming royal family, if I can't even handle this matter, where will the face of Grandpa and I be saved?"

"Just give me a word now, how can I agree to the marriage between Kong Yanjin and my sister?"

"Whether you want to be promoted or become a noble!"

Kong Na jumped up when he heard the words, glaring at Zhu Yunxi and said.

"Emperor grandson, what do you think of my Kong family? Is my Kong family the kind of people who are greedy for wealth?"

"Don't think about asking me to agree to this marriage. Either I die, or Kong Yanjin starts a clan. Life and death have nothing to do with my Kong family!"

Zhu Yunxi frowned secretly when he heard the words. If Kong Yanjin was really expelled from the clan, it would be no different from letting him die.

The ancients said that the clan is very important, and it is as important as life.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Zhu Yunxi still felt that it would be easier to let Kong Na die.

"If you say that, the orphan can only let you die!"

"Anyway, your family's Yan Shenggong was also conferred by my grandpa, so let's create a new Yan Shenggong!"

Kong Na smiled instead of anger.

"Emperor grandson, you think things too simply. Do you think that my Kong family's 2000-year-old family is a generation of vain?"

"You can stand, but only if people in the world are willing to recognize it?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Kong Na in surprise when he heard the words.

"Isn't your Kong family just a generation of vagrants? Where did you get such a good reputation?"

When Kong Na heard this, he almost vomited blood with anger. No one in the world should respect the Kong family when they mentioned them, but the emperor grandson didn't care at all.

"May I ask Your Highness, how many generations can the ancestors of your Zhu family go back?"

"Not many, just two generations."

"Emperor Xi Zuyu, Zhu Chuyi, and Emperor Renzu Chun were originally named Zhu Wusi."

Kong Na puffed up his chest when he heard the words, and said proudly.

"My Confucius family has been passed down for more than [-] generations since our ancestor Zhongni. Not counting the imperial conferment of our ancestor Kong Teng as the worshiping king during the Han Gaozu period, the title of my family's Yansheng Gong has been passed down for twelve generations... "

Although Kong Na was ashamed to say that the old Zhu's family was born with mud legs, the look of satisfaction on his face was enough to show what he meant.

However, in the face of Kong Na's genealogical pretense, Zhu Yunxi only responded lightly.

"and then?"

"Then……"

Kong Na stared blankly at Zhu Yunxi.

"Is that not enough?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said.

"not enough!"

"Far from enough!"

"Aside from proving that your Kong family has a long heritage, what else can it prove?"

"Have your Confucius family ever done great things to benefit the country and the people?"

"This……"

"Have your Confucius family ever expelled the Tartars and restored China?"

"This……"

"Have your Confucian family ever saved people from fire and water, and liberated people from hanging upside down?"

"I……"

"Compared to the gorgeous family background of your Kong family, saying that my grandpa was born in civilian clothes is flattering him, but to put it bluntly, he is a beggar!"

"But my emperor's grandfather has great ambitions and worries about the world. As a stinky beggar, he carried a three-foot sword in his hand to drive out the Tartars and restore our China. civil."

"Let me just ask, why does your Kong family look down on our Zhu family and my grandpa's achievements in his life?"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi said this, everyone in the Confucian ancestral hall stood up in horror.

"I dare not wait!"

"We have never looked down on Emperor Zhu, let alone the Zhu family..."

Seeing this, Kong Na hurriedly bowed in the direction of Jinling.

"The old man also admires His Majesty's achievements, but my Kong family can't compete with the royal family!"

Zhu Yunxi sneered when he heard the words.

"Don't pretend, you just look down on it!"

"You old Kongtou, you look down on our old Zhu's family even more!"

"Today I'm leaving the word here, this marriage has to be tied, and if it doesn't, it has to be tied!"

"Whether it's a marriage or an enemy, you can figure it out!"

"This……"

All the elders in the Confucian family's ancestral hall were dumbfounded when they heard the words, looked at each other again, and then looked at Kong Na in unison.

Compared with Kong Na's old stubbornness, there are always 1 of them who don't want to fight against the royal family.

After all, the virtues of the old Zhu's family are well known in the world. If they offend the people of the old Zhu's family, they really dare to kill them, and they don't care to bury them...

"Patriarch, how about..."

Kong Na glared at the speaker when he heard the words, and said with displeasure on his face.

"To shut up!"

"There are no rules, there is no place for you to speak here!"

After Kong Na scolded the clansmen, he looked at Zhu Yunxi apologetically.

"Please forgive me, the grandson of the emperor. My Kong family has a thousand-year-old family and has its own rules and regulations. I cannot marry a princess."

"If Kong Yanjin insists on marrying the princess, this old man can only reluctantly part with her and expel her from the family tree!"

Zhu Yunxi sneered again when he heard this.

"How is your Kong family a thousand-year-old family?"

"Is Shixiu a descended family?"

This sentence directly angered Kong Na and hurt all the old men in the ancestral hall.

"you!"

"Please speak carefully, the grandson of the Confucian family has its own reasons for the affairs of the ancestors of the Confucian family, and no outsiders are allowed to smear it!"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly laughed when he heard the words.

"Bullying my Zhu family won't kill people?"

"Come on!"

"Catch us from the Confucian family tree, and capture anyone who is young, strong, and fertile!"

"Let's go to Nanjing to re-establish Yanshenggong Mansion, and directly let Kong Yanjin be Yanshenggong!"

After Zhu Yunxi said these words, he shook his sleeves and left angrily. With his departure, the whole Qufu was in a state of chaos.

Jinyiwei may have problems such as food and cards, abuse of lynching, excessive law enforcement, etc., but it has an advantage that is unmatched by all other Ming institutions, that is, it has super executive power.

After Zhu Yunxi left, they really snatched the genealogy from the Confucian ancestral hall, and then arrested people one by one against the genealogy.

From a 50-year-old old man to a doll waiting to be fed, they are all within the scope of their capture.

It didn't take an hour for Qufu to be turned upside down, crying loudly.

Kong Na listened to the noisy voices outside, and two lines of dirty tears flowed wantonly.

He couldn't figure it out, but it was just an ordinary marriage, how could it become a catastrophe for genocide!
Seeing this, the other clan elders in the ancestral hall knelt down in unison.

"Patriarch, don't be stubborn, you should agree to the emperor's grandson's conditions!"

"If those Jinyiwei are allowed to continue to torment, I, the Kong family, will be swept away, and how many innocent people will die!"

Kong Na was still unmoved by the words, and tremblingly took out a rope from his sleeve.

"For the current plan, the old man can only go one step ahead!"

"I don't believe it anymore. The old man is fighting with his life, and his grandson dares to abuse our clansman!"

However, Jin Yiwei, who was guarding the door, never gave him a chance to hang the rope. Seeing him take out the hanging rope, he rushed over and snatched it.

"Bring it to you!"

"If you can commit suicide under the nose of our Jin Yiwei, it will be useless to use our Jin Yiwei!"

Now Conner was completely angry.

"What are you going to do? This old man can't afford to offend you. Why can't this old man die!"

"no!"

"The grandson of the emperor said that if you dare to die, you will kill a hundred Kong family members to be buried with you!"

"Anyway, your Kong family has a lot of people. With such a thick family tree, at least there must be tens of thousands of people. It doesn't matter if one or two hundred people die!"

"you!"

"Patriarch, let's agree to this marriage!"

"That's right, Patriarch, let's stop holding it. If we don't agree, our Confucian family will suffer a catastrophe!"

Under the begging of the crowd, Kong Na finally lowered his proud head.

"Ugh!"

"Let the emperor grandson come in, the old man agrees to this marriage, but the old man has a few conditions..."

When Jin Yiwei heard this, he was unhappy on the spot. Who did this old man think he was, and dared to let the incomparably noble emperor's grandson come to see him?
What's even more unacceptable is that it's such an honor to be married to the royal family. How dare you put forward conditions?

"rude!"

"What a dignified status the emperor's grandson is, if you want to see him, you should go see him!"

"Correct!"

Kong Na had already lost his temper after being tormented by Zhu Yunxi's scoundrels. Hearing this, instead of refuting, he followed Jin Yiwei's words.

"exactly!"

"Hurry up and report that the old man wants to meet His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager!"

"Humph!"

"It's almost there!"

"You follow behind us, I will take you to see the grandson of the emperor!"

Outside the Confucian ancestral hall, Zhu Yunxi was teasing a group of Confucian children holding a handful of exquisite candies wrapped in oil paper.

These children were male and female, and they were seven or eight-year-old children that Jin Yiwei had snatched from various families.

"You cry too softly. If you fool me like this again, I won't give you candy!"

"Big brother, let's cry hard for a while, you must keep your word and give us all the candies..."

"Of course!"

"I'm the grandson of the Ming Emperor, so I'm sure I'm sure of my words!"

"Then we cry?"

"Cry!"

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Hearing the powerful and rhythmic crying, Zhu Yunxi frowned displeased again.

"You don't want to be so tidy, you want to be a little messy, just like your parents beat you with a feather duster!"

"Come on, the girls here cry first, then the boys over there cry one by one, and finally cry together..."

After Zhu Yunxi's repeated training, these little dolls became more and more able to cry, not only crying loudly, but also crying out tones.

"You study hard and practice hard. This thing is hard to learn. When your patriarch dies in the future, you won't be hungry just by crying!"

Kong Na followed Jin Yiwei to the door and saw the little dolls of Kong's family standing in a row crying their necks, and immediately knew that he had been cheated by this scheming grandson of the emperor.

But this is the same as the grandson of the emperor he knows, on the surface he acts absurdly and unscrupulously.In fact, he has benevolence and righteousness in his heart, and never does bullying.

The ancestors of the Confucian family once said, "A husband learns from others' skills. Watch his words and observe his actions. A husband who speaks expresses his chest and expresses his emotions. Those who can do it must be able to speak, so observe their words first." Words are followed by deeds, and a husband uses words to control his deeds. Although there are treacherous people, there is no way to escape their feelings.

From this point of view, the future achievements of the grandson of the emperor will definitely far surpass that of his majesty today, and he will become the number one holy king under the Qin and Han Dynasties.

If the grandson of the emperor married, the Kong family would be very happy to marry their daughter into the palace.

But Kong Yanjin is the eldest grandson after all, and shoulders the important task of continuing the blood of the Kong family. It is really not a blessing to marry a princess.

Just when Kong Na was thinking about marrying a daughter of the royal family in exchange for the royal family not marrying a princess, he suddenly heard about Zhu Yunxie instigating the descendants of the Confucian family to cry.

Old Kongtou was so angry that he almost spurted blood on the spot, and he didn't care about the etiquette and impoliteness, so he rolled up his sleeves and went forward to argue with Zhu Yunxi.

"Your Highness, the behind-the-scenes choreographer is not the work of a gentleman!"

"Furthermore, you will teach children badly in this way. This is not what a sage and benevolent should do!"

Zhu Yunxi was caught and was about to sprinkle the candy in his hand, attracting a group of children to loot it, and then turned around and smiled in embarrassment.

"Duke Yansheng wants to understand?"

Conner nodded upon hearing this.

"The old man has figured it out. Since the grandson of the emperor insists on marrying the Kong family, if the Kong family persists, it will be ignorant of flattery."

Zhu Yunxi smiled happily upon hearing this.

"Yeah!"

"This is a matter of great joy to everyone, so why make such a fuss?"

"Let's talk about your conditions, as long as they are not harsh, Gu can agree to you!"

Kong Na coughed deliberately when he heard the words, and cleared his throat.

"I thought about it for a while. The reason why His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun insisted on getting married to my Kong family is because of my status as a thousand-year-old Tsinghua family of the Kong family."

"How about this, all the daughters-to-be of the Kong family can be chosen by His Royal Highness, and there is no need to confer any concubine, just enter the palace as a side concubine, which can be regarded as the full meaning of the monarch and ministers."

Zhu Yunxi was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that the daughter of the Kong family can marry into the royal family, but the eldest grandson of the Kong family cannot marry a noble daughter of the royal family."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he became furious on the spot.

"What are you having fun with?"

"You really value your Kong family so much. You just want to fulfill the fate between your grandson and my sister!"

This time it was Kong Na's turn to be confused. In his opinion, the emperor's grandson put on such a big fight. It didn't look like forcing a marriage, but more like forcing the Kong family to express their views.

Judging from the emperor's grandson's reaction, it doesn't look like a fake. Could it be that the emperor's grandson really just wanted to help Kong Yanjin?

"Your Highness, let's make a compromise. Kong Yanjin can marry the princess, but at the same time, he must also marry a daughter from an innocent family..."

"no!"

"He is so beautiful, how many concubines shall I let him marry?"

"Your Highness, I have a great responsibility to inherit the lineage of Shenggong, and the inheritance has not been cut off for thousands of years. If Your Royal Highness is barren, how can you let me continue the lineage of Shenggong!"

"Then wait until the two of them can't have children within 40 years of marriage, and then marry Kong Yanjin a child..."

"Year 40?"

"No, the time is too long, ten years at most, if the princess is infertile for more than ten years, Kong Yanjin must remarry..."

"30 years!"

"20 years!"

"25 years!"

Zhu Yunxi directly interrupted Kong Na's words, blocking back what he had said.

"It's only been 25 years, if there is less, I will kill someone!"

Kong Na smiled playfully when he heard the words.

"Your Highness is benevolent and righteous, how can you do such indiscriminate killing of innocent people?"

"However, since Your Highness has said it, let's make it 25 years. If the princess is infertile within 25 years, the royal family must not prevent Kong Yanjin from remarrying!"

"it is good!"

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi agreed, Kong Na let go of his tense mind completely, and made another request with a smile.

"The old man has one more condition!"

Zhu Yunxi was unhappy on the spot when he heard the conditions.

"Old Kongtou, don't push yourself too hard, there is a limit to Gu's patience!"

"Annoyed Gu, Gu will dispatch your whole family to the Golden Continent to open up a new continent!"

Kong Na said confidently when he heard the words.

"His Highness will definitely agree to this condition, and His Majesty will be very happy to hear it!"

Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes at him and said with disdain.

"Not necessarily!"

"There are not many things that can make my grandpa happy. Now it is the beautiful girl sent by the foreign clan, which can make him a little happy."

Old man Kong coughed in embarrassment.

"Cough cough..."

"Since the royal family wants to marry the princess, for the sake of fairness, the grandson of the emperor has to marry my Concubine's daughter as a concubine..."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, his eyes widened.

"Swap a kiss!"

Kong Na nodded and said.

"It can be said that if the emperor's grandson looks down on my Kong family and refuses to marry the daughter of my Kong family as a concubine, then my Kong family can't even look down on the royal family!"
