If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 196 Plan
"It seems that his skills have deteriorated, but this man was not angry to death." Seeing the person in front of him fall unconscious and falling to the ground, Zhu Zhanyu still stood there and made sarcastic remarks.

On the side, Zhu Gaosui was a little lucky, and said with a gloating expression on his face: "It's a good thing that I didn't make you angry to death, otherwise this matter would have ended badly and ruined the reputation of the descendants of Kong Sheng. This crime is very important to our vassal king. It’s just bullshit, but if you really kill one or two of the descendants of Confucius, it will become a big deal, and even the old man may not be able to deal with it.”

Zhu Zhanjun didn't take it seriously, but he still nodded in agreement, and then said: "The Kong family is really troublesome. It's like smelly dog ​​shit that you can't get rid of, and it makes you dirty all over." .

But it’s time for this family to deal with it. I heard that the people in Shandong are about to lose their livelihood due to their harm, and the court should also take care of it.

Moreover, the Kong family in Qufu has always looked down on our Zhu family, and they miss Meng Yuan even more. This is not a good thing for the court... Third uncle, it seems that you have to accompany me to the palace. "

When Zhu Gaosui heard this, the frivolity on his face immediately subsided, and he looked at Zhu Zhanyu with a hint of surprise, and asked him: "You are going to go to the palace to find the old man? How are you going to deal with this matter? Or are you going to do something?" Home?"

"We really intend to disturb the Kong family. The court must at least replace him with a more upright Duke Yan Sheng. For example, I think Nan Kong is very good." Zhu Zhanqi did have a plan to replace Beikong with Nan Kong, but this matter But there has never been a suitable opportunity.

In the past, he didn't have enough strength to force this matter, but now, he has enough strength, and this suitable excuse comes to his door.

However, Zhu Gaosui was not very optimistic about this. He shook his head at Zhu Zhanquan and said, "Don't count on Nankong. He said it when he gave up the Duke of Yansheng. In order to avoid people's suspicion, he said that Nankong and Beikong He competed for the title of Duke Yansheng, so he resigned from the position of Duke Yansheng. From then on, the Nankong lineage no longer served as officials, nor did they accept any canonization.

Are you going to replace the north hole with the south hole?I don't see a chance in this matter. Even if you can persuade the old man to deal with Beikong and give the title of Yan Shenggong to Nankong, he will not accept it. "

Zhu Zhanjuan naturally knew what Zhu Gaosui said.

The Nankong lineage was founded in Quzhou by Kong Duanyou, the 40th grandson of Confucius No. [-] who followed the Southern Song Dynasty court after the Jingkang disaster.

At that time, the ancestral land of the Kong family was in the north, but the majority of the family was in the south. The Kong family in the north was the branch that maintained the ancestral land. This was recognized by both the Song and Yuan dynasties.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan specifically issued an order to summon the Nankong family to the north to inherit the title of Duke of Yansheng, but the Nankong family refused to accept the request. He even said that Nankong had been in Quzhou for five generations and it was difficult to leave his ancestral grave. He "ceded" the title of Duke Yansheng to Beikong, and even left a message that the Nankong family would never serve as officials or compete for the title of Duke Yansheng.

However, this had no impact on Zhu Zhanchun's plan. He just smiled at Zhu Gaosui and said: "As long as the Duke of Yansheng is taken from Beikong, will it have any impact on the court whether Nankong will receive it or not?

I can even say that he is the best for the court because he is not accepted by Confucius. "

After saying that, Zhu Zhanjun did not explain, but called Hu Shanxiang, who had been standing by him since just now, and left Tingtaoshui Pavilion with Zhu Gaosui, and hurriedly entered the palace.As for the man from Beikong on the ground who fainted from anger, several Confucian scholars helped him up and carried him away to his own place.

After entering the palace, Zhu Zhanyu and Zhu Gaosui went all the way to Zhu Di's study room. At this time, Zhu Di was discussing government affairs with Zhu Gaochi. When he saw the two people coming in, he stopped talking and asked them: "You two?" Why did you come to the palace today to see me, an old man?"

"My grandpa learned that my grandson and his third uncle were having a drink at the Qinhuai River just now. I heard someone criticizing the royal family, saying that I was 'Feng Yang Zhu, who broke out in others and was petty in the family'. I was so angry that I argued with that person. As a result, I fainted and realized that that person was from the Kong family in Qufu and a descendant of the sage Kong!" Zhu Zhanquan pretended to look pitiful and explained to Zhu Di "concisely" what had happened: "My grandson is worried about causing trouble in the Kong family, and is afraid that this matter will cause criticism from the government and the public, so I came here to report to grandpa, hoping that grandpa will make the decision for my grandson!"

Hearing this, before Zhu Di said anything, the prince Zhu Gaochi on the side became anxious: "Why do you have to mess with this family! The Kong family is the descendant of Kong Sheng, the world's cultural heritage! If you mess with the Kong family, forget it. Even the imperial court should respect them three points!

Please tell me quickly, where is that person now and how is he doing?No, I'd better go take a look. If something happens to the Kong family in the capital, it will definitely shock the world's scholars! "

With that said, Zhu Gaochi wanted to walk out, but was held back by Zhu Gaosui.

"Brother, Zhan Yun is your biological son, isn't he? How come he is so smart and intelligent, so why did he end up with a father like you who can't turn his head?" Although Zhu Gaosui did not intend to compete with Zhu Gaochi for wealth, he still said something in his mouth. He didn't have anything nice to say, but he just hurt Zhu Gaochi.

But Zhu Di couldn't stand it. He snorted coldly and said, "Okay, stop acting like this with me. Tell me what's going on? And what are your kid's plans?"

"Nothing can be hidden from you, grandpa, and no one can be wiser than my emperor!" Zhu Zhanquan flattered Zhu Di, and then explained: "My grandson did meet people from the Kong family in Qufu who criticized the royal family. That's not what he said. The grandson is making it up, his Qufu Kong family is indeed arrogant and domineering.

Moreover, when my grandson was in Tianjin, he heard that the Kong family was tyrannical in the fish and meat village of Qufu. The entire Qufu area was about to become the world of the Kong family, and the territory of Shandong was also brought to a terrible disaster by them!
Therefore, Sun Er wanted to take this opportunity to depose the Kong family in Qufu, take back the title of Holy Duke Yan of the Kong family from the hands of Northern Kong, and re-issue it to Nan Kong in Quzhou. "

"Grandpa knows about the Kong family, but are you really sure you can deal with the Kong family without attracting criticism from the world?" Zhu Di knocked on the armrest of the chair with a playful expression.

He himself came from the north, and Jingnan was basically born in Shandong and Hebei. How could he not know the bad behavior of the Qufu Kong family?That was something that even made his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, so angry.

"The children of the Confucius family did not cultivate their virtues and were struck by thunder and died. The court was shocked and sent the crown prince to Qufu to appease the Confucius family. Then they investigated the moral conduct of the children of the Confucius family in order to set the record straight and calm the hearts of the scholars in the world. However, Confucius The descendants of the family are not morally upright and are domineering. In order to cover up their crimes, they attempted to assassinate the prince of the dynasty. The crime is unforgivable. He is exempted from the Duke of Yansheng. The Confucius family in Qufu is prohibited from offering sacrifices to the Confucius Temple. The court will temporarily take charge of Duke Yansheng in order to deal with the matter. The throne will be inherited by the Kong family in Quzhou." Zhu Zhanquan said his next arrangements calmly.
