My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 158 The Kong family is no exception
As we all know, Xu Jingchang never held grudges, and he avenged his grudges early.

Above the court, there are really not many people who have not been tricked by him.

Now someone has written a letter of impeachment, and they are so aggressive, who is so sacred?
The person who impeached Xu Jingchang was called Yuan Gang.

He was born in Juren, and he was an instructor at the beginning, and later he was promoted to a county magistrate. Due to his outstanding political achievements, he was transferred to the capital to serve as a censor.Since becoming an official, he has been upright and honest, and has never made any mistakes.

The most amazing thing is that the Ministry of Officials increased the allowances for all officials, but he refused to accept it.

He also said that honest and upright officials live in peace and happiness, and don't need to pay more subsidies, which is also for the country and the people.Corrupt officials are insatiably greedy, no matter how much subsidies they give, it is still detrimental to public welfare and self-defeating.

"I have never been ashamed of my heart, and I have never been burdened by my family. I am a censor, and I hear rumors. This is the authority given by the Emperor Taizu. I am lucky to succeed in impeaching the powerful. There is nothing to be happy about. If it is unfortunate If you fail, I hope that the people who come after will not shy away from swords and guns, and will go on to eliminate the great troubles for the country and stabilize the country.

After Yuan Gang finished his confession and left his last words, he wrote a letter of impeachment, ready to fight to the death with the biggest traitor of the dynasty!
After the news spread, everyone in the court was shocked.

No matter how many important officials of the nine courts, Xu Jingchang's opponents are no match for a mere censor, can he do it?
"This Yuan Yushi has done nothing wrong with his virtue!" Jian Yi said slowly.

Hearing his evaluation, Xia Yuanji was relieved.

There is no loss of virtue, which means that there is no handle to grasp.

Officials also have the power to gossip, as long as there is reason, even princes and nobles must be obedient... Of course, they can also find ways to frame the innocent and kill the censor.But once you do, your reputation is ruined.

For example, Mr. Yan Ge, his reputation is so bad, which is largely caused by attacking the eunuchs. The four remonstrances of Yuezhong and the three sons of Wuwu, so many eloquent officials have gone on and on, and they have made Yan Ge old. smell.

If things go wrong, Yuan Gang's impeachment this time is likely to be a signal of Xu Jingchang's bad luck. He may not collapse, but it may be the beginning of his collapse.

This glamorous Ding Guogong is afraid that he will stumble.

"To be honest, I kind of want to go and have a look." Xia Yuanji said with a smile, it turns out that he is also a fun person.

Jian Yi raised his eyebrows, pondered again and again, "It's better to be at peace with the government affairs, and just look at it."

Xia Yuanji also knew that although he had a lot of fun, Xu Jingchang was naughty and cunning, with a strong background, and he was appreciated by Zhu Di... If he turned around and falsely accused the courtiers of forming a party for personal gain and instructing Yuan Gang to impeach him, it would be bad.

So you have to be patient.

It's just that this feeling of scratching the heart and liver is really uncomfortable.

It made Xia Yuanji not in the mood to work all morning... how many courtiers like him are there?
Song Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, has been sick at home since the Golden Palace was attacked.It turned out that this moment was also a medical miracle, and the Master Shang Shu paced back and forth on the ground, waiting anxiously.

There is also Zheng Ci, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, who is also looking forward to it.

In addition, Guo Zi, the censor of Zuodu, is anxious and apprehensive now. After all, Yuan Gang is under his command. If he is implicated, how will he get out?

We must think of a safe statement...

The civil servants are like this, but the generals are filled with righteous indignation.

Ever since Xu Jingchang helped the hero Wufu win face, Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, and Qi Guogong Qiu Fu all began to support Xu Jingchang, even to the point of sharing weal and woe.

I heard that someone impeached Xu Jingchang, this is to kill our leader!

No matter what, I can't agree!

The big guys go to Zuoshunmen to ask His Majesty to punish Yuan Gang severely!

If you dare to frame an important minister, at least you will be sent to Hainan.

Xungui gritted his teeth and was ready to act.

A storm has formed around the impeachment... Xu Jingchang, who is in the eye of the typhoon, is quite calm.

He was even willing to confront Yuan Gang face to face.

This Yuan Yushi was in his forties, with a sparse beard and a thin face, but his eyes were very sharp, with a sense of righteousness.If he were to play Hai Rui, he probably wouldn't even need makeup.

Xu Jingchang was full of interest, but Yuan Gang's eyes were wide open, looking like he would never die.

"Returning to Your Majesty, although the king of Zhongshan has made great contributions to the founding of the country, he is a famous general of the country, and he should build a temple to worship. But now there are too many believers in Xuwang Temple, and the number of people who come to pray for blessings is endless, and it is still increasing day by day. Getting promoted and getting rich, even getting married and asking for children, everything is included, if things go on like this, it will become a serious disaster!"

Zhu Di snorted and said: "You are alarmist. I remember the Guandi Temple and the Tianfei Palace. Guan Yu is also a mortal god. Now he is Guan Shengdijun, and he can do anything he asks for. The Han Dynasty can come out Guan Yu, can't I become the King of Zhongshan if I am a Ming Dynasty? Do you think I am not as good as a Dahan?"

Yuan Gang said sternly: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be compared. Guan Yu is a man from the previous dynasty. It took thousands of years to achieve his current status. The king of Zhongshan is different. He just passed away a few decades ago, and his descendants are still alive. And one family and two masters, with great power!" At this point, Yuan Gang glanced at Xu Jingchang, and couldn't help but secretly gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty, Duke Ding is here. His grandfather responded to his requests like a cloud. Most of those people will believe what he said. If Duke Ding has any thoughts of disobedience, he will become a king in an instant. What a disaster!"

"nonsense!"

Zhu Di was furious, "Xu's family is loyal, everyone knows that the king of Zhongshan has made great achievements, and his achievements have covered the world. Do you really think that I dare not kill people if you speculate so viciously and slander the heroes?"

Zhu Di was so angry that he was really ready to strike.

Yuan Gang's forehead was sweating, his heart was beating wildly, but he was unwilling to bow his head.

He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed loudly, "Your Majesty, even if the Xu family is loyal, it may not be the case in this generation. What's more, there are so many ambitious people in the world. They will use the name of Zhongshan King to gather Around Xu's family, forming cliques for personal gain and influencing the court situation are very serious disasters. Your Majesty, for the sake of the great Ming Dynasty and the future generations, we must guard against the passing of time, and we must not bring disaster to future generations!"

Zhu Di is not a fool either. It is a good thing that the old father-in-law became a god, but the status of the Xu family is getting higher and higher. It is hard to say whether something will happen after a long time...

"Xu Jingchang, what do you think?"

Xu Jingchang immediately said: "I feel that Yuan Yushi's words are too correct, and it almost hits my heart."

Zhu Di was taken aback now, is this kid out of his mind?
People impeach you, do you think they are right?
Even Yuan Gang was confused, I couldn't be hallucinating, could I?
Zhu Di hummed: "Xu Jingchang, if this is the case, I will close the Xuwang Temple and order that you are not allowed to go to worship."

"Yes!" Xu Jingchang said: "This is the truth, and I have no objection."

Zhu Di took a deep breath, "Xu Jingchang, so this matter is over?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I only have one small question left. I want to ask Yuan Yushi for advice. As long as he can explain clearly, I will definitely agree."

Sure enough, the surname Xu still had something to say!
"Talk!" Zhu Di said bluntly, he was even looking forward to it, knowing that you won't be caught without a fight!

"Yuan Yushi, you said that my grandfather was a god. If our Xu family children take the opportunity to wave the flag and shout, we can influence the court situation and affect the general situation of the world. It is not impossible to rebel and seek rebellion."

Yuan Gang nodded, "That's right, the next official upholds a public heart and writes a letter to make a statement. I also ask Duke Ding to weigh it carefully. This is also a good thing for your Xu family."

Xu Jingchang nodded, "I know, Yuan Yushi is true and upright. I just want to ask you, if there is a family that has been passed down for 2000 years, with dozens of generations of scenery, super-class official residence, and even the change of dynasty is ignored. Such descendants of sages , how is it better than me?"

Yuan Gang was stunned. He was stunned for a while, and then suddenly shouted: "That is a descendant of a saint, how can it be compared with you?"

"Why can't they be compared?" Xu Jingchang said with a smile.

"Because, because of the enlightenment of the sages of the Confucian family, the people are blessed, benevolent and filial to the family, loyal and loyal, and the sun can learn from it. You, you are slandering the sages!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Yuan Yushi may have misunderstood. You said that Confucius had the merit of enlightenment, and my grandfather also had the merit of restoring Yanyun, expelling the Hulu, and restoring China. You said that the Kong family is benevolent and filial, and our Xu family is also a loyal inheritance." I can assure you that the Xu family lived together with the country and shared weal and woe with Daming, but I never thought that they would live forever like the Kong family!"

Xu Jingchang smiled sweetly, but to Yuan Gang's ears, it was simply rebellious.

You are really shameless, dare to compare with Confucius... But he soon found out that it is really hard to refute... You say Confucius is great, people say that Xu Da also has the merits of recovery.

You said that the Xu family has a prominent family, one family and two fathers, but the Kong family is also an out-and-out Yan Shenggong, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.

You said it was dangerous to pay homage to Xu Da, but what about the Confucian temples all over the place and so many students kowtowing?
What's more, Xu Jingchang agreed with it from the very beginning, and you are right.

I don't make excuses, but I just want to be fair, you can't just target the Xu family!

"Your Majesty, Dingguo Gong is really far-fetched and eloquent. The Kong family has been passed down for 2000 years and has never made any mistakes. Your Majesty must not listen to his words!"

Zhu Di was calm now, and he gave Xu Jingchang a meaningful look, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

good boy!
Enough!
"Ding Guogong, what else do you have to say?"

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Yushi just said that even if our Xu family is loyal and filial, there will be people with a heart who will use the name of the Xu family to form cliques for personal gain and influence the court situation, which will cause great harm. I believe Yuan Yushi's words, but I just don’t know if there are people who take advantage of the reputation of the Kong family to form cliques for personal gain and influence the court situation? Is this a serious disaster?”

Xu Jingchang turned his head and looked at Yuan Gang with a half-smile.

"Yuan Yushi, I am reasonable, and I hope you will not lie against your conscience."

Yuan Gang's pale face was bloodless, and he could only whisper: "Mr. Dingguo is going to deal with the lower officials for the crime of forming a party for personal gain. I, Yuan Gang, have no party!"

This Yuan Yushi said loudly.

Xu Jingchang laughed, "Yuan Yushi, you misunderstood. I hope you can use your courage to eradicate hidden dangers for the court... Xuwang Temple can be closed, and it must be closed. But the other one, I hope it can be treated equally. !"
