The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 325 Lan Yu sold Master Ye, Xu Da fought against Master Kong, and Zhu Yuanzhang enjoyed the results!
  At this moment, the sun has completely risen over the mountains in the east, and the morning fog on the ground has basically dissipated.

On the large square in front of the huge palace, it is like a scene where the clouds are lifted and the sun appears!
  Zhu Yuanzhang, who was aloft, looked at everything below and felt that these civil and military officials kneeling on the ground were the haze in front of him.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang felt this way was because they were fighting for the old system, fighting for the old system that could help them increase their exploitation of the people!

And the four upright generals in front of him are the great heroes who helped him clear the clouds and see the sun.

Because they are fighting for a new system, fighting for a new system that can effectively reduce the gentry’s exploitation of the people!

The key is that this new system not only allows the people to get benefits, but also helps the court’s financial centralization!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his mood suddenly changed.

These three perfect new systems coincide with his idea of ​​"I share the world with the common people, not with the scholar-bureaucrats"!

"Ye Qing,"

"It's not in vain that you are so angry with us, I won't kill you."

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was sighing in his heart, the civil and military officials below began to argue again.

Hu Weiyong did not dare to take the lead, so he winked at Kong Kebiao again.

Not to mention that their gold medals for immunity from death have been handed over, even if they have gold medals for immunity from death, their lives are not as hard as Kong Kebiao's.

In this era when Confucianism is dominant, no matter whether it is the Han Dynasty or the Barbarian Dynasty, as long as they want to come to the Central Plains and dominate the world, they dare not touch the Kong family!

Kong Ke said, "My ancestor is Confucius." As long as he does not rebel, he will not die!

As for other crimes, Kong Kebiao would never commit them openly. After all, he wanted to maintain the "Home of Confucian Sages" brand.

Only if this sign is maintained can the Kong family be strong enough!

Therefore, even if he wanted to play something fishy, ​​he would have to build the plank road openly and visit the warehouse secretly!
  Just like now, although his real purpose is to work hard to protect the interests of the Confucius family from loss, on the surface he still speaks for students all over the world and for the inheritance of culture!
  The Kong family has been in business for thousands of years and has become the largest landowner in the world.

Once these three policies become state affairs, the interests of the Kong family will suffer immeasurable losses.

Not only that, they also own the largest "education group" in the Ming Dynasty. The so-called peaches and plums all over the world refer to their Kong family.

Not to mention the other two pieces of state affairs, just one piece of "gentry and gentry serve as servants and pay for food" is enough to peel off several layers of their skin!
  After receiving Hu Weiyong's hint, Kong Kebiao immediately lifted up his clothes and stood up.

In the eyes of everyone, Kong Kebiao, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, walked straight towards Xu Da and the others. He wanted to make plans for the world's scholars, and he wanted to fight against the four famous generals with his own strength!

"Hahahaha!"

Kong Kebiao looked up to the sky and smiled, and he seemed to have a sense of generosity and sacrifice.

He clearly demonstrated the heroic spirit of going to the tiger mountain even though he knew that there was a tiger in the mountain. He knew that he couldn't defeat him but insisted on giving it a try.

But he secretly thought: "My ancestor is Confucius, how can you still kill me?"

Thinking of this, Kong Kebiao, who had no guilt at all, looked at Xu Da and said: "Shuai Xu, you led the troops from south to north and achieved the greatest achievements in ancient and modern times. Whether you are the prime minister in literature, the marshal in military affairs, or your house is like a prince's palace. , the fields are fertile, we don’t have any objection.”

"Because you deserve it!"

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Wang Baobao and said: "Commander Wang, you were the former King of Qi in the Yuan Dynasty and the Marshal of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Now you have led your troops to surrender and let your descendants permanently stationed in the ancient city of Hong Kong and the northern border. It is also a meritorious service." It’s a must.”

"Whether it's your ranch worth tens of millions, or your descendants' chieftains taking over the title, we don't have any problem with it!"

Immediately afterwards, he made similar comments to Mu Ying and Lan Yu in turn, first affirming their achievements, and then saying that it was understandable for them to have such a wealthy family.

On the surface, they are all compliments, with no disrespect at all.

But then, he changed the subject and said: "Your family has a big business. Even if the property is taxed, it can still allow the descendants to live a good life."

"But have you ever thought about your brothers who have been through life and death?"

"They are not as big as your family!"

"Looking at these civil servants again, except for former prime ministers Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen, which one has a hereditary title?"

"The non-ennomination of civilian officials is His Majesty's affirmation of you military officers and counselors who have opened up new territories. We have nothing to say."

"But we also have to live and make a living for future generations!"

"If these three policies really become national affairs, how do you let these civil servants live, and why do you let the scholars in the world study hard?"

"If His Majesty's 'Ten-Year Plan for Nurturing Scholars' is affected by this, if the reading culture that was finally formed is affected, if the inheritance of Chinese culture is affected."

At this point, Kong Kebiao pointed at the four people with the jade hut that represented his status as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy: "It's you, and you generals who forget the responsibilities of others when they are full."

"Your military exploits will definitely go down in history."

"But what you did today will definitely remain in the annals of history forever."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Kebiao turned around again, knelt down to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty, these three policies are harmful to none and have no benefit at all!"

"Please, Your Majesty, think twice!"

When the civil and military officials heard this, they nodded repeatedly.

In fact, no one who can sneak in and kneel here is a real fool. They all know what kind of person Kong Kebiao is.

But they are also similar to Kong Kebiao, so naturally they think he did a good job.

This high-sounding eloquence is truly worthy of being a master of Confucianism!

Immediately afterwards, all the civil and military officials began to support Kong Kebiao with practical actions, kneeling down and asking His Majesty the Emperor to think twice.

Hu Weiyong looked at this scene and was finally satisfied.

This is their purpose of wooing Kong Kebiao, who is really the best in the world.

The key is that he is not without merit. As for his high-sounding eloquence, he, the right minister of the Central Committee, really can't compare to him.

Faced with such a grand scene of forced harem, Zhu Yuanzhang did not feel guilty at all.

Because in front of him, there are still a few pillars that stand up to the sky and the ground!

Xu Da, Wang Baobao, Mu Ying, Lan Yu, Tang He, Li Wenzhong, Geng Bingwen, these seven towering pillars are enough to deal with it.

Then, he looked at Zhu Liangzu and others who were kneeling on the ground, and immediately wrote down their names.

This grudge must be firmly remembered!
  Zhu Yuanzhang no longer looked at Zhu Liangzu and the others, but looked at Xu Da and the others and said, "If you seven have any ideas, please tell us!"

Xu Da, Wang Baobao, Li Wenzhong, Tang He and Geng Binwen just looked at each other and then chose to remain silent.

They just winked at the two young generals Mu Ying and Lan Yu, and then stood behind them and became their backers!
  This is the inheritance in their minds. Ming Dynasty cannot just rely on middle-aged and elderly people like them, but also on these young people!

Besides, the five of them still had to deal with these kneeling people, so they still couldn't be too sharp.

Let's leave things like quarrels to Lan Yu, the prince's uncle-in-law, and Mu Ying, the adopted son of the emperor, who treats him as his own son!

Mu Ying and Lan Yu don't have so many taboos!

Although Mu Ying never bullies others with power, when he bullies others with power, he is not a human being!
  Not to mention Lan Yu, he was originally a madman. If he hadn't been punished by Ye Qing's 'Shadow Warrior' one-armed man in black, he wouldn't even know that Lord Ma has three eyes!
  In everyone's eyes, when the two of them came in front of Kong Ke, they actually squatted down and looked at him with playful eyes.

Mu Ying said with a smile: "Sage Kong, what you said is just a bit off. How did you say it? Is it wrong?"

Lan Yu nodded and said: "General Zhenguo is right, but this statement is wrong!"

Everyone frowned when they saw this unruly and unruly scene.

Zhu Yuanzhang even glared at Xu Da fiercely, just let him handle the matter like this?

He didn't want to be the one who stood out, so he let these two crazy guys, who were not very good at studying, and the guy who killed the first enemy be the one who stood out?
  Xu Da pretended not to see the look in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and did not accept the move at all. In his opinion, to deal with such a high-sounding Confucian sage, one has to be someone like Ye Qing.

As the saying goes, when a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why he is right!

Mu Ying continued to shout at the throat: "To say that this family has a great cause, who among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty can compare with your Kong family?"

"Our descendants are all valuable in direct line, but not in collateral line. But thousands of years ago, your family's surname was Kong and it was valuable!"

"When Wuhu invaded, your family reaped a lot of benefits, right?"

"Throughout the dynasties, your family has reaped many benefits, right?"

Lan Yu continued: "Yes, your family's position is similar to yours in every dynasty and generation. Although they don't care about the place or soldiers, they are still the benchmark for scholars!"

"That's right. Speaking of it alone, your salary and everything you have are not as much as mine, but they can't stand up to your thousands of years of accumulation!"

"Shen Wansan is richer than you and has a bigger family than anyone here, but what about in the end?"

"Your Majesty's house was confiscated!"

"."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he also took revenge on Lan Yu for giving random examples.

If so many people weren't watching, he would have slapped Lan Yu on the face and said to him, "If you don't know how to give examples, don't give random examples. I'm like a person who fattens a pig before slaughtering it."

Xu Da and others looked at this scene with their eyebrows furrowed tightly. They only hoped that the meritorious service he had done today could offset the crime he committed today!

At this moment, Lan Yu had no idea that he had committed the serious crime of talking nonsense, and continued to talk: "Only you, the Kong family, as long as you don't commit a serious crime, no one will dare to raid your home."

"Not only does your family have a great business, but it has also almost dominated private education among the people. You must have made a lot of money over the past thousands of years!"

Kong Kebiao, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the two feet squatting on both sides in front of him, and he really wanted to bite each of them with hatred.

How dare they say anything?
  "What a great Xu Da!"

"Shuai Xu's schemes are indeed notoriously dirty. He actually let these two fearless young men take the lead."

"Everyone knows this, but only they dare to say things that no one dares to say!"

"."

Before Kong Kebiao could speak, Mu Ying continued: "I'm afraid you are not speaking for the scholars in the world, but for yourself!"

After saying that, Mu Ying stood up and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, listen to me carefully. After these three national policies are implemented, everyone will indeed suffer some losses, but your losses will definitely be compared to his family's losses. It’s just a drop in the bucket.”

As he spoke, he looked at the generals kneeling on the ground and said loudly: "Have you forgotten why we put on this armor?"

"Because they don't have enough to eat, because they are born in poverty, because they are homeless, and because they are exploited by the gentry and can no longer survive."

"Now that you are kneeling in the court, have you forgotten your original intention?"

"To attack the common people is to attack us in the past!"

"Don't you want your descendants to encounter a new Mu Ying, a new Xu Da, a new..."

Having said this, he decisively turned around, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said in the loudest voice: "New, Zhu Yuanzhang!!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Ying knelt on her knees and bowed her head.

Immediately afterwards, Lan Yu faced everyone and said, "I, Lan Yu, have always been crazy until I met Mr. Ye Qingye."

"Cough cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da looked at Lan Yu and coughed at the same time. Only then did Lan Yu remember Xu Da's explanation.

Lan Yu quickly changed her words: "Yes, yes, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Ye Qingye, it is all His Majesty's idea."

As soon as the words fell, Lan Yu began to brew her emotions again and prepared to continue speaking.

But Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others could not help but frown. This blue jade still needs to be dealt with!

Lan Yu, who was completely unaware, looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, I have always been crazy before, but now I have figured it out. I don't want my descendants to meet another Lan Yu again."

"General Zhenguo talked about military generals. As a person who doesn't read much, I will talk about you civil servants."

"Why do you study?"

"To steal food from the people?"

"I'm just paying taxes like the common people. I'm not asking you to work in vain!"

"With this tax, your descendants will not be able to meet new blue jade, nor will they be able to meet the new Kaiping King Chang Yuchun!"

"If you don't pay this tax, your descendants will definitely die at the hands of the new Lan Yu and the new Chang Yuchun!"

"Even if your descendants are richer than Shen Wansan, so what?"

"In the end, the new Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely have his house confiscated!!!"

When Lan Yu said this, she felt good about herself and strengthened her tone.

Then, he continued: "Unless you become the new Confucius, can you do it?"

"If you can do it, just oppose it together with Grand Master Kong Kebiao. If you can't do it, then oppose it together."

As soon as Lan Yu finished speaking, everyone's eyes changed fundamentally when they looked at Kong Kebiao.

They just felt that they were being taken advantage of by the Confucian scholar.

Hu Weiyong looked at Kong Kebiao who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but thought to himself: "It makes sense. Why do I feel like I'm being used by him?"

"No, they got in."

Just when Hu Weiyong came to his senses, nine out of ten civil and military officials who had been kneeling on the ground stood up.

They cupped their hands again and said: "Your Majesty, we second your opinion to Commander Xu and resolutely support these three major national affairs!"

"."

Looking at this scene, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da showed a satisfied smile on their faces.

Immediately afterwards, an official who had followed Kong Kebiao with the loudest voice suddenly stood up and said, "My lord, I have something to report!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled lightly and said: "It's accurate!"

The official loudly said: "Your Majesty, I believe that with greater ability comes greater responsibility."

"Since the Confucius family is such a great family and a great example of scholars in the world, they should set an example."

"The implementation of the three major national affairs is best started from the Kong family!"

As soon as the words fell, [-]% of the people in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty stood up one after another and said: "My lord, I second the proposal!"

Until the end, only Hu Weiyong was left.

Seeing that the situation was over, Hu Weiyong stood up and bowed respectfully: "My minister, not only do you second the proposal, but you are also willing to preside over the implementation of these three major national affairs!"
  　Please follow up with the support of the officials, and please support the recommendation ticket and monthly ticket, thank you!
