My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 143 Don't Reject

Song Li frowned, and his heart was churning. He was about to enter the capital from Nankong, and there was an uproar in the government and the public. The big guys were no longer as simple as being shocked.

The big guy knows what kind of virtue is today.

If it was just an emperor, it would be easier to handle, but there was an unscrupulous Xu Jingchang next to him.

No one can bear the monarch and his ministers doing things together.

As long as Nankong enters Beijing, it will definitely make a big fuss.

It's hard to imagine what can be done.

The only way is to make Nan Kong retreat when the difficulties arise. As long as they don't get involved, no one can do anything... Just like when Xu Jingchang was determined to be a salted fish, even Yao Guangxiao had no choice.

As long as I'm trash, no one can take advantage of me.

But Kong Yi was tempted again.

This made Song Li extremely painful, "You are a descendant of a saint, the hope of the world!"

Kong Yi opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Song Li thought that he was wavering, and went further: "Now Yan Shenggong is too young to be a director. Nan Kong brought treasures to Beijing and dedicated them to the emperor. Naturally, they will misunderstand. They will think that Nan Kong is trying to curry favor with the emperor and replace him. This will inevitably lead to disputes between the two sects of the Confucianism, it is really not a blessing in the world. Mr. is honest and honest, he does not seek fame and fortune, he must have been deceived by a traitor, and he fell into the trap!"

Song Li broke the truth, thinking that the Confucian council had come to his senses, but this descendant of the Confucian family, who was similar to an old farmer, bowed his head and remained silent for a long time before saying: "What Uncle Da Zong said is very true, but the grassroots are puzzled about something. I also hope Uncle Da Zong can clarify."

"Please say."

"Uncle Dazong, have you heard of the Nishan Hongru Society?"

Song Li said angrily with a sullen face, "It's all about someone spreading rumors behind their backs with ulterior motives and nothing. Don't worry about it."

Kong Yi said again: "In this case, why didn't the court arrest people, why didn't the court ban rumors?"

Song Li was disturbed by the sudden questioning, "This matter is very complicated. Some officials have already investigated it and arrested hundreds of people. They have all been put in prison. The government and the public are very concerned about it. We are also doing our best..."

Trying my best, it doesn't work, but it gets worse!
Kong Yi is not Xu Jingchang, and he doesn't know how to speak ill at each other, but he doesn't think so.

You made me care about the reputation of the Confucius family, but you disciples of Confucius and Mencius, why can’t you protect the reputation of the saints?You guys can't do it, and they teach me in turn, is it reasonable?
Kong Yi said: "Uncle Dazong, the grass people came to Beijing this time to present the three treasures, just to clarify the strange talk about Suihou Zhu and the sword of virtue. Moreover, Confucianism is based on loyalty and filial piety. It can control the country and the country, disrupt the world, change the dynasty... This kind of thing is something that the Confucian family would never do anyway. The theory of the Nishan Confucianism Association is really unimaginable and harbors evil intentions."

When Song Li heard that the topic had turned back to the Nishan Hongru Association, his head suddenly became dizzy.

This non-existent thing is really embarrassing.

At first, many people thought it was nothing special. It was just about an outsider who accepted disciples, assisted Mingjun, and started a holy dynasty... There are a lot of such jokes in the storybook novels.

For example, Patriarch Wang Ao took Sun Bin as his apprentice, and the old mother of Lishan took in Empress Wuyan, Fan Lihua, Liu Jinding, Mu Guiying... Almost all the female generals in the book are her disciples. .

Like this, you can tell the truth at a glance, and no one will care.

But when things fell to the Nishan Hongru Association, the situation was different.

First of all, this is a Confucian organization, not a mythological figure like the ancestor Wang Ao or the Holy Mother of Lishan... Secondly, this set of rhetoric has become very complete under the tinkering of many enthusiastic people.

Supported by historical data, with the background of the characters, the stories of the Han Dynasty, the split of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the rejuvenation of the Sui and Tang Dynasties...all of them are included.

Now that the Northern Song Dynasty has developed, some people are discovering the connotation from the Qingli New Deal and Wang Anshi's reform.Analyze the thoughts and propositions of the Nishan Hongru Association, the concept of governing the country, and the changes in thought.

There is not much time left for the big guys, and there will be another Yuan Dynasty, and it is time to analyze the founding officials of the Ming Dynasty.

When it is found out that the Hongwu case is a helpless move by Emperor Taizu to eradicate the Hongru Society in Nishan, the matter will be consummated.

These courtiers will sooner or later be dubbed the title of Nishan Hongru Society...

Although this matter is nonsense, it perfectly explains a question, that is, why do literati in the past dynasties like to form cliques for personal gain, and why do so many literati gather together to influence the court and influence the world?
Why do these literati speak in unison and echo each other...

There must be a force behind it.

The Nishan Hongru Society turned out to cater to the mentality of the common people and fill the curiosity of the big guys about history and reality.

The more you explain it, the more people will believe it.

Even the more arrests and severe punishments, the wider the spread.

Of course, if it's just like this, it's just a gossip, and it doesn't matter.

But the problem lies with the emperor, the supreme ruler of our Ming Dynasty, he is not happy to see civil servants form cliques for personal gain, he needs to use Nishan Hongru to talk things out and beat the courtiers.

And in the court, there are also Chen Ying and his like, jumping up and down, hoping to curry favor with His Majesty the Emperor by investigating the formation of cliques and selfish interests, as a shortcut to the end...

To sum it up, the core thing is that the civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats have taken too much.

The two forces were entangled together, attacking both inside and outside, and put Wenchen on the fire.

In fact, it is not difficult to solve this matter... As long as the courtiers can play the game, require officials and gentry to pay food and serve together, handle everything fairly, put themselves on the same level as the common people, and no longer be superior, it will be solved easily.

It's a pity that no one would do such a thing no matter what.

Even if you say it, you will face the miserable end of ruin and ruin, absolutely without exception.

"The pure will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. The court will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. It is our duty to protect the reputation of the saint. It is naturally a great thing for Mr. to offer the three treasures. But I still want to ask Mr. for help and hand over another thing. ...Or make it clear that this is for the Kong family."

Song Li's voice was very low, but Kong Yi's eyes widened in an instant, and flames of anger spewed out from his pupils... He quickly pressed his anger again, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Da Zong is talking about the imperial pen?"

Song Li was startled, nodded and said: "Yes, sir, the first family of loyalty and filial piety can only be the Confucian Mansion, it is not unique to the Southern Sect!"

Kong Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, and said quietly: "Uncle Dazong, this imperial pen was given to our ancestors to cross the south, and the reward was the loyalty of our lineage for more than 300 years after Jingkang. Yidi. The ancestors guarded the clouds to see the moon. On the day of the family sacrifice, you can use the imperial pen to comfort the ancestors... Da Zongbo, should this be taken back? Can't our Southern Sect even have this bit of dignity?"

Song Li was dumbfounded, broken, completely broken!

There's no need to ask, it's Xu Jingchang, that bastard again, his skills are really amazing!
Since the Confucian Mansion is divided into the North and the South, although they try their best to maintain it, they are still two... and they made different choices during the Jingkang crisis.

This is a contradiction, and no one can avoid it.

It is no problem that Yan Shenggong rewarded the lineage of Confucius...Zhu Di's imperial brush was given to Nanzong, which is also a matter of course.

It's just that when the northern sect bears the name of Yan Shenggong and the southern sect has the reputation of being the first family of loyalty and filial piety, this matter came out.

Who is the master's direct descendant?
And there is another layer, Nanzong is respected by others, and getting this honor, in turn, reminds people that Beizong is ashamed!

And it's not ordinary, they are out of order!
Bending knees to barbarians, serving the Jin people, kneeling down to worship the Mongols... As a descendant of the master, he forgot his loyalty and filial piety, and lost his integrity.

This is like keeping part of the original flavor while cleaning the large intestine...

Can you still eat it?
What's more frightening is still to come. If the identity of Beizong is abolished and Nanzong takes over the position of Duke Yansheng, there will still be problems. That is, Nanzong merges with Beizong, and the situation similar to Zhu's family has happened in the Saint's House.

In this way, the battle of Jingnan is justified and beyond reproach.

Therefore, the consequences of playing the card of Nanzong are simply devastating.

"Sir, Nanzong has always been loyal and righteous. He took the treasure of Nandu, and gave up his title... two acts of righteousness, worthy of the descendants of saints, and a model of Confucianism. In the hearts of every scholar, there is a steelyard. Knowing that Nanzong's character is ancient and different. Ordinary..."

Song Li wanted to continue, but Kong Yi suddenly said in a low voice, "Uncle Da Zong means to do it again and again, and then do it a third time?"

One sentence made Song Li blush again.

Why are honest people the ones who suffer?

Are you not guilty of doing this?
Song Li is also a scholar after all, and he holds a high position in the Ministry of Rites. Speaking of this, he has already stuffed the original intestines into his mouth.

He even wanted to get up and retreat in shame.

But this matter is too terrible, there is no way to let it go like this... Helpless, Song Li could only bite the bullet, and with the most shameless attitude, said something that made him blush.

"I also ask Nanzong to consider the overall situation and focus on Confucianism!"

After speaking, Song Li got up and bowed deeply to Kong Yi.

Time seemed to be silent, Kong Yi did not speak, Song Li bent over, just like this deadlocked.

When Song Li was about to lose his hold, Kong Yi suddenly sighed, and said dejectedly, "I see, please don't worry, Uncle Da Zong."

Kong Yi turned around and ran to the back room, leaving only a desolate figure behind... very rude and desolate.

Obviously I made the right choice, and I have paid more than 300 years of persistence.

That imperial pen is nothing, what they want is affirmation, recognition and respect.

But I just can't get it, not only myself, but also the ancestors of Nankong... In order to avoid the split of the Confucian family, the embarrassment of the Confucianism, and the loss of the moral high ground for the scholar-bureaucrats, I wronged them and let them put the overall situation first!

What a great situation!

Row!
We focus on the big picture.

"Mianjun tomorrow, take the imperial pen and return it to His Majesty!"

Kong Yi ordered his family with difficulty, and all the people in Nankong who came with him were stunned?
Why?
Why do you have to hand it back?
We deserve it!
"Don't ask too much, be honest and obedient!"

But at this moment, news suddenly came that the prince Zhu Gaochi had arrived.

Everyone in Nankong was taken aback, and rushed to meet him.

Soon Zhu Dazhuang came with a smile, since he lost dozens of catties of fat, Zhu Gaochi walked faster, walking like a dragon and a tiger, with a majestic majesty.

Seeing everyone in Nankong, they rushed to say hello first.

"Gu came here this time, I really feel a little sorry." Zhu Gaochi said: "Originally, the emperor rewarded you with the imperial pen, but after thinking about it carefully, there is something wrong. I am afraid that I will trap you into injustice... That's why I let Gu come over to get back the imperial pen , I hope Duke Kong will forgive me."

Zhu Di actually took it back!
Kong Yi was shocked, but relieved, finally he didn't have to make things difficult for himself, His Majesty is truly a benevolent monarch.

"Cao Min thanked His Majesty, thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhu Gaochi stretched out his hand to support Kong Yi, and said with a smile: "Kong Gong is so righteous, everyone knows...the ancestral hall of the martyrs in Beiping, no one can preside over it except you, so don't refuse this matter."

In a word, Kong Yi was dumbfounded...
