My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 142

This time, the contemporary patriarch of Nankong who brought the treasure to the north is called Kong Yi. He has no official status, wears simple clothes, his face is dark after long-term exposure to the sun, his fingers are rough, and his joints are swollen. He doesn't do farm work often, and he will never .

It is not wrong to say that it is a heirloom of farming and reading.

Xu Jingchang sent the imperial pen according to the order, "Mr. Kong came to meet the heavens. Your Majesty was overjoyed. He ordered me to send the imperial pen to praise the loyalty of your lineage."

Kong Yi lowered his head slightly, and was quite respectful to Xu Jingchang, but he didn't flatter Xu Jingchang at all, nor was he afraid of trembling, and he was quite neither humble nor overbearing.

He bowed and said: "The grass people thank God for forgiveness of Duke Ding's kindness... It's just that this imperial pen can't be accepted no matter what. Please take it back with Duke Ding and plead guilty to His Majesty on behalf of the grass people."

Xu Jingchang didn't say anything directly, but sat down, and then asked Kong Yi to sit down.

"Mr. Kong, don't worry. We met for the first time. You may not know it. Wansheng liked to read since he was a child. He never put down the scrolls. He dabbled in the classics and history collections. It's just that the more books you read, the more you will be confused. You are one of the saints. Family, farming and studying inheritance, must be profound knowledge, let's chat first. Rong Wansheng asked Duke Kong a few questions."

Kong Yi frowned slightly. He had heard of Xu Jingchang... but only.

The young man in front of him was polite and handsome.It has to be said that a person's appearance is a very important talent, and Xu Jingchang belongs to the kind of person who is loved by everyone, and flowers bloom when they see flowers.

Of course, the premise is that you don't know what he has done and have never dealt with him.

Unfortunately, Kong Yi was the victim.

He was bewildered by Xu Jingchang, he was successful in his youth and in a high position, so it was reasonable for some people to slander him badly.

The test jade must be burned for three days, and the material identification must wait for seven years.

Don't be judgmental about people.

Kong Yi said modestly: "People in the grasslands and mountains don't understand so many reasons. If Dingguo insists on asking, if what he said is wrong, please forgive him."

Xu Jingchang nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Kong, I read history books recently, and I read the old things of the two Song Dynasties. The more I read it, the more I hate it... I hate Song Huizong for being shameless, and Song Qinzong for being incompetent. Especially hateful, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, a barbarian who bowed his knees, and called himself a minister of Fanbang , mutilated famous generals, killed righteous men. He was dedicated to lingering and holding on to the incomplete. It was because of him that China fell, and the hills and ruins lasted for a hundred years. Fortunately, the Emperor Taizu lifted the three-foot sword and wiped out the Beiyuan, so that the Han family could be restored. Thinking of Yuan The imperial court occupied the Central Plains, and the Huaxia culture has been cut off for a hundred years. It is really heartbreaking and regrettable. I don’t know if there is a chance to continue the broken culture. Maybe Kong Gong can give some pointers?”

Chairman Kong sighed, and when he mentioned the history of the Song Dynasty, he also felt the same way.

"Without the Jin people invading the Central Plains, the ancestors would not carry the three treasures and cross the south of the Yangtze River. At first, I thought about the hope of restoring the country, but Yue Wumu was killed, so I couldn't go straight to Huanglong. The five internal affairs are burning, and the grief is unceasing. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty expelled the Hulu and restored the orthodoxy of China. Presumably, as long as we work hard to govern and promote enlightenment, it will not take long to restore the atmosphere of the upper kingdom of China. worry."

Xu Jingchang shook his head, "Mr. Kong, things are not that simple. After being an official in the General Administration Department for a while, I discovered some private cases. From the aspect of marriage alone, there are cases where younger brothers marry widows and younger brothers marry younger sisters-in-law. Bad habits. Therefore, the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" expressly prohibits, and the punishment is very strict - if you take in your father, grandparents, uncles and aunts, you will be beheaded; This happens from time to time, and Hu Feng's harm can be seen."

Kong Yi was among the people, so he naturally knew about these things, but he didn't expect that Xu Jingchang, a young Duke, could care so much about people's livelihood, and he was quite moved.

"Dingguo Gong, what you said is very true. From the perspective of ordinary people, it will always get better and better."

Xu Jingchang smiled again, "Mr. Kong is insincere! As the saying goes, if you don't sweep the broom, the dust will not go away... I am an official of the court. Reinforcing the righteousness and eliminating evils, distinguishing right from wrong. Only in this way can the dust of the past be completely cleared up and the glory of China restored."

Kong Yi asked curiously: "Duke Ding, what are your plans?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "I thought of some things, such as building a temple for Yue Wumu...to compile Yue Wumu's deeds into a book, and after it is published, it will be distributed to the people of the world for free. And Prime Minister Wen will also do the same. "

It is Xie Jin's responsibility to publish and print books. It is not difficult to add some content to it.

Kong Yi nodded again and again, "Dong Guogong's move is really exciting, it is really a clever plan."

Xu Jingchang smiled veiledly, "Mr. Kong, this is nothing more than a small effort. It is still too far away from really sweeping away Hu Feng and restoring the atmosphere of China. I think I will build a heroic ancestral hall and put it in Beiping, which is the old The land of Yanyun. In the 300 years of the Song Dynasty, Yanyun was never recovered, which is the lifelong regret of countless people of insight in the world. Lu You and Xin Qiji, they have been thinking all their lives to restore their homeland, but they can only die in hatred. Now in Beiping Build a heroic ancestral hall to commemorate the heroes who regained their homeland, and build temples around the ancestral hall to commemorate Yue Wumu, Prime Minister Wen, and countless loyal people. Let’s start from this matter. What does Duke Kong think?”

Kong Yi quickly nodded and said, "Naturally, it's excellent. The grassroots admire Duke Ding's mind."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "In that case, I would like to invite Kong Gong to go to Beiping to preside over the temple repair and sacrifice..."

Hearing this, Kong Yi was about to refuse immediately, but Xu Jingchang waved his hand and stopped him.

"Mr. Kong, I know your worries. Nan Kong was a nobleman. He didn't care for fame and fortune. He lived in peace and happiness. He is worthy of being a descendant of a sage. He is an example in the world. You are afraid that once you agree to become an official, you will have a dispute with Qufu Beikong. Internal strife makes people laugh out loud and ruins the reputation of the Saint's Family." "

Every word Xu Jingchang said touched Kong Yi's heart, "Mr. Ding, since this is the case, why do you have to force others to make things difficult for you?"

"No, this is just the first level of the matter." Xu Jingchang said: "Right and wrong can't be confused, and the lessons of the past can't be forgotten... Your Kong family, like thousands of people in China, suffered catastrophe and survived nine deaths. Now the Ming Dynasty It has only been more than [-] years since the founding of the country, and if we don’t do some things, it will be too late to do it in a few decades.”

Xu Jingchang stood up and invited Zhu Di's imperial brush over.

"Look, Gong Gong, this is not for your Kong family, but to reward all the heroes who are still loyal and upright when the land of Shenzhou is sinking... It is this breath that we can get up again. Since ancient times, from the South In the north, there is no one other than me, Ming Dynasty, to rule China. It is precisely because of the painful lessons and the pain of the skin that we can not avoid swords and guns, and not fear death. The land is filled with the blood of loyal ministers and righteous men!"

Xu Jingchang said excitedly: "Mr. Kong, you care about the affection of the Kong family and the reputation of the saint. I admire it very much, and there is nothing to blame. But I would like to ask Mr. Kong to think about it a little bit. Think about the suffering of China for more than 300 years. Think about future generations, how to avoid repeating the same mistakes. You Kong family has been passed down to this day, and the sun and the moon are the hope of the world. Stand up, just like the ancestors who carried the three treasures and resolutely crossed the river, do something for the people and comfort the people After Nandu, Yan Shenggong of all dynasties, does Konggong still hesitate?"

Hearing Xu Jingchang's words, Kong Yi's blood was burning, and the injustice that was suppressed in his heart gushed forth, which was hard to stop.

That's too well said, it couldn't be better!

The Southern Sect of the Confucian Mansion originally crossed the river with the Southern Song Dynasty, but they chose to follow the Han Dynasty.

Just imagine, if Zhao Song is a little promising and able to regain his homeland, whose position is Yan Shenggong?

There is no doubt that it can only be from Nankong!
Even if they don't want it!
It's a pity that Zhao Song didn't have the ability. He lost Liao, Jin, and Jin and Mongolia. In the end, he had nothing to lose, and he lost the whole world.

Nan Kong also bet on the wrong treasure, so what face does he have to go back to Qufu?

But no one can deny their adherence to loyalty and integrity.

In fact, they are not considered to have lost. After all, the Yuan Dynasty did not sit on the throne for a long time.

The Ming Dynasty that rose from Huaixi swept the world and restored its homeland.

Including the land of Yanyun, all of them are back.

There is nothing wrong with the ancestors resolutely crossing the river with the three treasures on their backs, it's just that the time is a little bit late.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is building temples and offering sacrifices to heroes, isn't it commemorating their Confucian family's Southern Sect!

Kong Yi set his sights on the imperial pen again: Zhongxiao is the first!
After murmuring, he suddenly knelt on the ground, weeping loudly, tears pouring down like rain.

Kong Yi didn't want to go to Beijing, for fear of getting involved in right and wrong troubles and losing face as a saint.

But that bastard Zhu Gaosui told him that there was a Nishan Confucianism Association, and all kinds of rumors and rumors slandered the sages.However, Shenggong Qufuyan was only three years old, so he couldn't rectify the cause. As a child of the Confucian family, how could he just sit idly by?

Kong Yi had no choice but to bring the Three Treasures to Beijing. He wanted to clarify the matter of the Hongru Society in Nishan, so he returned home immediately.

But he never expected that he would get the imperial pen, and there was Xu Jingchang's reasoning.

Other things are secondary, wealth, title and salary can all be put aside.

But Xu Jingchang is right, the choices of our ancestors cannot be buried... Our lineage abides by loyalty, is worthy of the heavens, and has a long history.

That being the case, it seems appropriate to stand up and do something.

It's just the same sentence, the two holes in the north and the south, there must be no infighting, no jokes.

After thinking for a long time, Kong Yi got up from the ground, wiped away his tears, and sighed: "Mr. Dingguo said so, the grass people really dare not refute, and they can't live up to their love. But no matter what, the people of Nankong will not disobey you." According to the family motto, we will never snatch the title of Duke Yansheng."

Xu Jingchang laughed loudly, "Duke Kong, don't worry, I've already told His Majesty that the Beizong has the final say in Qufu's sacrifice to Confucius. There will be no issue of canonizing the descendants of Confucius in the South. You are representing the Ming court this time." , to preside over the sacrifices to the heroes. Your position may not be passed on to future generations, in short, this is to do things for Ming Dynasty and for the world. There is no rule in your family rules that you should be an ordinary person for life after life, right?"

Kong Yi blushed a little, and hurriedly said: "It's true, if that's the case... then Duke Lao Ding will deal with it."

After they finished speaking, Xu Jingchang was about to leave. At this moment, news came from outside that Song Li, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, had come to discuss etiquette with Kong Yi.

Xu Jingchang frowned slightly, and then smiled, "I won't delay the business, so I will leave."

Xu Jingchang left, and Song Li came.

After briefly talking about the etiquette process, Song Li said, "I'm here this time, and I only have one request. I would like to ask you to resign from His Majesty's reward. No matter what it is, I will refuse it."

Kong Yi was slightly taken aback, "I originally thought so."

"That's great..." Song Li was overjoyed.

But Kong Yi interrupted him and added: "But after hearing some words, I changed my mind. There are some things that I must do my part!"
