My father Yong Le Emperor, you let me keep a low profile

Chapter 63 The Moon Shadow Guard is on the move, target: the Confucius family in Qufu. (Kneeling for the first order)

Late at night, valley.

More than 500 people gathered in the valley, quietly looking at the short and thick man on the big rock in the middle.

"Is everyone here?"

A somewhat hoarse voice sounded, and Li Tian looked at the deputy commander beside him.

Commander of the hidden guards of Li Tianyue Palace.

Although Zhu Gaoyu had no intention of competing for the position at the beginning, he still attached great importance to his own safety.

The year old Zhu died, eight-year-old Zhu Gaoyu slipped out of the house with his belongings while his family was not paying attention to him.

At that time, Li Tian was Zhu Gaoyu's only subordinate.

It was also a coincidence that Zhu Gaoyu accepted Li Tian.

When he was six years old, he went out for the first time and met Li Tian who sold himself to bury his father.

Seeing that the other party is an honest person, and he lacks men, Zhu Gaoyu accepted the other party.

In order to hide this subordinate, Zhu Gaoyu did not bring him back to the mansion, but continued to hide outside.

It was not until two years later that this subordinate was officially activated.

It didn't take long for Zhu Gaoyu to go out and return home.

Since then, Li Tian has disappeared in Beiping City.

When Li Tian reappeared, Zhu Gaoyu was already the king of Yue.

Li Tian also lived up to Zhu Gaoyu's expectations.

In seven or eight years, he trained Zhu Gaoyu to be an army of dead soldiers who absolutely obeyed.

This army only has more than 500 people. Although the number is small, don't underestimate their explosive power.

After years of brutal training, the survival of the fittest, the survivors are the elite of the elite.

The deputy commander didn't look at the roster in his hand, and replied directly: "Return to the commander, the personnel are all here."

Li Tian nodded, looked at the surrounding members and whispered: "Today we will perform a mission that can change our destiny."

Lifting his finger to Qufu in the distance, Li Tian said: "The task is very simple, go to the Confucius family in Qufu, capture all members of Duke Yansheng's direct lineage, and silence all others."

Hearing such a task, the members didn't have any expression on their faces, just quietly waiting for the order.

After years of brutal training, they have developed the instinct to absolutely obey orders.

Not to mention dealing with the Kong family, even if they were to assassinate the emperor, they would not hesitate.

The performance of his subordinates made Li Tian very satisfied.

After so many years, I finally wanted to do something for His Highness.

Since the establishment of this dark guard force, Li Tian has been waiting for Zhu Gaoyu's order, and wants to perform well so that Zhu Gaoyu can see his hard work for so many years.

However, it took more than ten years to wait.

If the supplies hadn't been delivered every year, Li Tian would have suspected that Zhu Gaoyu had forgotten him.

In fact, Li Tian didn't know that Zhu Gaoyu originally planned to treat him as the last knife, a life-saving or crucial knife.

No one wants to be in the dark all their lives.

The same is true for Li Tian.

As Zhu Gaoyu became the prince, Li Tian wanted to follow Zhu Gaoyu's side and become a bright-faced figure.

But he asked many times, and the reply he got was one word.

and so on.

Li Tian didn't know how long he would have to wait, one year, two years, ten years or even longer.

However, just when he thought that he would be in the dark for the rest of his life.

Zhu Gaoyu's mission finally arrived.

And once it comes up, it is a big task to kidnap the members of the direct line of the Kong family and silence all the rest.

This difficult task made Li Tian extremely excited.

The more difficult and challenging the task, the more rewards you will get.

As he thought.

Zhu Gaoyu gave him a promise.

After completing this task, he can bring people to the surface.

Zhu Gaoyu promised him that after the matter was completed, he would take people to Qiongzhou to form an intelligence department that belonged only to Zhu Gaoyu, named: Moon Shadow Guard.

And he, Li Tian, ​​is the first commander of Yueying, responsible for the intelligence mission of the naval department that Zhu Gaoyu will establish in the future.

The generous rewards made Li Tian extremely excited.

Originally, I thought that I would spend my whole life in the dark, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come so suddenly.

Not only did he get the task, but he also transformed himself from a rat in the ditch to a duck with official feathers.

Thinking of how he appeared in front of his wife and children in official robes, Li Tian felt a little excited.

In order to hide his identity, in the eyes of outsiders, he is an old scholar who has not been favored for many years.

For this reason, his wife and children were ridiculed, which made him feel guilty.

But with such an identity, for the sake of His Highness's great cause, he could only grit his teeth and hide it.

Even in order not to be suspected by others, he did not dare to take out the rewards His Highness gave him, for fear of attracting others' attention.

Now he finally doesn't care about it.

From now on, he will be a serious official.

Thinking of the good days to come, Li Tian turned his head to look in the direction of the Kong family, with fierceness in his eyes.

"Father, do you want to think about it again?"

"Uncle Tang's death, we are also very sad, but he violated the national law after all, if we continue to make trouble like this, I'm afraid His Majesty will be displeased."

It was late at night, but the courtyard of the Kong family was still brightly lit.

In a study room in the inner courtyard, a young man was trying to persuade an old man.

A few days ago, there was an urgent letter from Jinling that one of the few elders of the Kong family was arrested and sent to Jinyiwei Imperial Prison by order of His Majesty because he was implicated in Ji Gang's rebellion case.

As a result, within one day, he contracted an illness and died for unknown reasons.

Of course, this is the result announced by the imperial court.

As for how he died, I'm afraid only Jin Yiwei knows.

After the Kong family got the news, they were extremely shocked.

The old Zhu's family, who was born with mud legs, actually attacked the Kong family.

Kong Kexuan, the oldest member of the Kong family, was so angry that he threw everything he could, and cursed for a long time in the room.

Fortunately, everyone in the inner courtyard is their own people. If outsiders hear about it and it reaches Zhu Di's ears, the Kong family will probably be scolded at the lightest.

After venting, Kong Kexuan said that the matter was not that simple, and after carefully reading the letter from Jinling, he found a clue.

My cousin, before being arrested, seemed to have a conflict with the king of Yue, and the two even fought.

After associating back and forth, Kong Keyuan came to a conclusion.

Your Majesty is venting his anger on his son.

After thinking about this, Kong Kexuan felt a chill in his heart, and at the same time was filled with monstrous hatred.

The dignified emperor, because his son had a conflict with others, killed the other party to silence him. Does the Kong family still have eyes?Is there still Confucius?
Knowing the reason, Kong Kexuan said that the matter could not be left just like this.

If the Kong family chooses to do nothing, how can they have the face to educate the world's literati without being laughed at to death.

Although the Kong family no longer has shame, the last piece of fig leaf still needs to be blocked.

With this idea in mind, Kong Kexuan inquired about the court's movements.

It was decided to initiate relations to impeach Zhu Gaoyu during the Great Ceremony of All Nations.

Even if he can't hurt the other party even a little bit, Zhu Di must be severely humiliated in front of various countries.

Kong Kexuan had a good idea, but was severely rejected by Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin.

Although this Duke Yansheng is still a teenager, he also understands that offending the emperor will not benefit the Kong family.

But Kong Kexuan, who thought he was ashamed, directly took out his identity as the clan elder and reprimanded him, saying that this Xiaoyan Shenggong knew nothing about a child with no hair.

"Why, you have to stop me."

Kong Keyuan, who was writing a secret letter and was about to persuade the Procuratorate to jointly submit a letter, looked coldly at his son who was standing opposite.

Seeing his father's eyes, the young man's body trembled and he shook his head again and again.

"Baby doesn't mean that, what Haier means is..."

"Get out!"

However, before he could explain, a teacup was thrown over.

The young man was unable to dodge in time, his forehead was hit directly, and dark red blood flowed down the corner of his eyes.

Covering the wound, looking at his father's bewildered look, the young man opened his mouth, finally sighed, turned and left.

He felt that his father was old and confused.

For the sake of the so-called non-existent face, knowing that it is a stupid act to slap the emperor in the face of jointly writing a letter at the Great Ceremony of All Nations, they still stubbornly choose to act.

Thinking of the tyrannical Zhu Di, the consequences of being angered.

The youth felt helpless for a while.

"Hey...the gatekeeper."

Walking out of the backyard, the young man who was about to go back to his room and call for bandages stopped suddenly when he passed the door.

The Confucian family has strict rules, except for the elderly and children, men are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard without notification.

Even if he is a child of the Confucius family, he must report when he enters the inner courtyard.

In order to prevent unauthorized access, all intersections are guarded.

But looking at the past now, let alone the gatekeeper, there is not even a shadow of a ghost.

Looking at the empty courtyard, the young man felt a little nervous, and subconsciously turned around and entered the inner courtyard.

However, as soon as he turned around, he froze in place.

At some point, behind him, a masked man in black was holding a hand crossbow to his forehead.

Behind the man in black, at the entrance to the inner courtyard, a group of men in black were groping into each room.

"you…"

Just as the young man was about to speak, he pointed his crossbow at the man in black, when suddenly he flicked his sleeves, and he smelled a scent, his eyes darkened and he passed out.

"This can be taken away, useful!"

Li Tian came out from the shadows, took out a small notebook, glanced at it by the surrounding lights, confirmed that it was the planner, and gave the order to take it away.

The man in black nodded, retracted the crossbow, wrapped it in a sack, picked it up and walked out.

The dark guard's action was very fast, from the start to the end, it was useless for half an hour.

In the front yard of the Kong family, Li Tian, ​​holding a notebook and comparing them one by one, took out a letter after confirming that all the target persons had been captured, nailed it to the door of the inner courtyard of the Kong family.

"withdraw."

With an order, the man in black disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind the Kong family, which was still brightly lit but deathly silent.

the next day.

The tenants of the Kong family all looked in the direction of the Kong family in doubt.

They couldn't figure it out. At this time in the past, the Kong family would always hear the sound of reading.

Those servants will also clean the courtyard, or carry water to the inner courtyard, why is it so quiet today, and the gate is still closed, so there is no one.

Could it be that everyone overslept?

Someone had this idea in their head.

However, as soon as this idea came up, they were rejected by themselves.

The Kong family's rules are strict, how could it be possible for someone to oversleep.

They had heard that if the servants of the Kong family dared to oversleep, they would be beaten to death by the steward.

Since he didn't oversleep, then this matter is a bit strange.

Although they were very curious, no one dared to check it out.

Not everyone can touch the gate of the Kong family. Ordinary people have to take a long detour if they want to pass by.

I am afraid that I will make the Kong family feel that they have insulted the sages by being earthy.

This waited until noon, and it was not until the Qufu County Magistrate came to visit regularly that the tranquility was broken.

"Strange, why is the door still closed today?"

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, the magistrate of Qufu frowned, seeing that the door of the house was closed, and there was no servant at the gate of the Kong family.

Originally, the county magistrate of Qufu was served by the Kong family, but because they offended Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu ordered that the Kong family not be allowed to hold real positions.

In the entire Confucius family, except for Yan Shenggong, there were only two officials who were sent to the Ministry of Rites to take idle positions.

After all, the Kong family is after the most holy teacher, and there is no Kong family in other departments, but the yamen of the Ministry of Rites must have the Kong family to support their appearance.

It was also for this reason that Kong Keyuan was so angry when he learned that the two Kong family members had died in Jinyiwei Prison.

He felt that this was a sign that Zhu Di planned to take back the two positions of the Kong family.

In order to keep these two positions, he even planned to stand up and speak out for the Kong family at the risk of offending Zhu Di.

"You guys are waiting here, I'm going to knock on the door."

After waiting at the door for a long time, seeing that no one came out to greet him, the county magistrate couldn't wait any longer, so he confessed and went to knock on the door himself.

Other places can be replaced by servants, but not in the Kong family.

If the Kong family was offended by this rude behavior, then his official position would be over.

Although the Kong family has no real position, with his own influence, let alone a mere district magistrate, it is easy for the magistrate to step down.

"Dong dong..."

When he came to the door and straightened his official robes, the county magistrate had just knocked twice, and the closed door creaked and opened a small crack.

The county magistrate was stunned.

The door is ajar, where is that man?

The county magistrate, who felt a little uneasy, lay on the crack of the door, glanced inside, and his body froze instantly.

After seeing the gap, several people lay in disorder.

All of these people's eyes were round and their faces were unnaturally pale.

"Dead...dead."

After all, he was also a magistrate of a county. He had seen some scenes that were hard for ordinary people to see. He could still tell whether he was asleep or dead.

The county magistrate, whose body was trembling and covered in cold sweat, gritted his teeth and pushed open the door of Kong's house.

thump!
When he saw the scene in the courtyard clearly, the county magistrate's legs softened and he knelt on the ground.

He was not frightened, but desperate.

Most of the dead bodies lying all over the ground in the courtyard were familiar faces.

"I am done!"

Looking at the scene in the courtyard, the county magistrate felt dizzy for a while.

The Kong family was wiped out, and as the county magistrate of Qufu, he could hardly absolve himself of the blame.

He could already imagine that when the news of the Kong family's extermination spread, he, the county magistrate, would definitely become the first object of venting among the literati in the world.

He doesn't even dare to die now.

Because once he dies, he may be characterized as committing suicide in fear of crime.

In case the court can't find the murderer, in order to appease the anger of the literati all over the world, pulling him out to top the vat, and the nine clans having fun together, is definitely the only result.

So he can't die, even if he dies, he can't die now.

"Why are you still standing there, go find someone, Fucheng, the Chief Secretary, the Prosecutor, Jin Yiwei, and notify all the yamen that can be notified."

The county magistrate slowly got up from the ground, seeing the people who brought him looked at him curiously, stomped his feet angrily, and roared loudly.

After yelling, her body went limp and fell to the ground again, looking at the sky in despair, she said, "Mother, the sky is about to collapse."

The county magistrate was right. For all Shandong officials, their innocence was about to collapse.

The Kong family was exterminated, and the officials who knew it knew it, no matter whether the result of the investigation was clear or not.

In the whole of Shandong, from the chief secretary to the yamen in various counties, anyone who brings goods will be punished.

When the governors of Shandong left and right rushed over, they were all in a trance.

The officials who were driven over helped them off their horses, and the two chief envoys walked into Kong's house tremblingly, ignoring the greetings.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw densely packed corpses at a glance.

There are more than 1000 people in the entire Kong family, the Kong family plus the guards and maids.

Now most of them are lying in the spacious yard, and even the right chief envoy, who saw a few watchdogs, also lay in a daze beside the pile of corpses.

Good guy, this is really a chicken and a dog.

How much hatred does this have to do such an inhumane thing?

Don't those gangsters know what this family represents?

Is this killing the Kong family?

This is fucking killing all Shandong officials.

Thinking of myself for so many years, I finally climbed to this position.

In the end, I haven't been happy for two years, just playing like this, the right chief envoy feels a burst of despair.

He doesn't know what the outcome will be for others. Anyway, the two of them are the chief envoys, and there is absolutely no good outcome.

Not only would a trip to Jinyiwei Imperial Prison be indispensable, but the whole family might suffer.

The face of the right chief envoy was ashen, and the face of the left chief envoy was not much better.

If it weren't for the servants around him, he might not even be able to walk well now.

"Is all... all... all dead?"

Walking in front of Shandong Jinyiwei, Qianhusuo, and Qianhu who rushed over first, the Zuo Buzheng swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva before making a sound.

Jin Yiwei Qianhu, whose expression was extremely ugly, shook his head slightly.

There was hope in the eyes of the two chief envoys.

"Yan Shenggong and several direct descendants are gone." Pointing to the rows of corpses, Jin Yiwei Qianhu said: "Most of them are guards here."

The two chief envoys breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the person is gone, at least there is still hope of life.

As long as Yan Shenggong and those people are alive, there is a possibility of being rescued.

If they can be rescued, the two of them will be dismissed from office at most, and a dog's life can be saved.

However, before they were out of breath, Jin Yiwei Qianhu pointed to the front, and said with a gloomy expression: "The elders of the Kong family are all dead, and they are all there."

"Gah!"

Zuo Buzheng, who didn't come up in one breath, rolled his eyes and almost passed out.

Nima, removal from office will be changed to beheading.

The right chief envoy hurriedly supported the other party, pinched him and slapped him in the face.

He still shouted loudly: "My good brother, you can't fall down. If you fall down, I will be completely finished."

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, not dead, not dead..."

The Zuo Buzheng, who had been slapped several times, grabbed Jin Yiwei Qianhu regardless of the burning on his face.

"Master, I'm calling you Lord. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it together. I'll come here once in a while. I'm afraid I won't be able to last. You can finish talking!"

ps: Old readers know that I wrote a book against the Kong family, but it was reported crazily. After suffering a loss, I knew it, so I didn’t write the detailed content of the treatment. I hope everyone can understand.
