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

Chapter 245 Imperial decree?write him a

Confucius Temple, as the name suggests, is a temple dedicated to Confucius.

However, unlike the Confucius temples in the general sense across the country, the Confucius Temple in Qufu is the family temple of Confucius. In addition to enshrining and offering sacrifices to Confucius, there are also memorial tablets of ancestors of the Confucius family enjoying incense here.

And unlike Confucian temples in other places that are open to everyone to worship, ordinary people are not eligible to visit the Confucius Temple in Qufu.

The Confucius family does not care about the incense offered by ordinary people. The direct descendants of the Confucius family take care of it personally. Incense offerings are constantly made during the four seasons and eight festivals. Coupled with the frequent sacrifices and rewards from the court, the incense in the Confucius Temple has not stopped for thousands of years.

Of course, the regular wooden statues of Confucius and Qiguan's wife, which best represent the orthodoxy of the Confucian family, were carried southward by Kong Duanyou, the then Duke of Yansheng, during the Southern Song Dynasty. They are now enshrined in the Confucius Temple of Nanzong in Quzhou, and were not used in disgraceful ways until later generations. After returning to Beizong, there is no need to say who is embarrassed.

Although the orthodoxy lies in the south, the Northern Sect took advantage of the Mongolian power during the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties and the Southern Sect was unwilling to fight between the two sects, and took back the title of Duke Yansheng and Zhengshuo of the Kong family. The Confucius Temple in Qufu is indeed of the same origin. ancestral temple, so this place has always been revered by successive dynasties. No one would come to such a place to cause trouble, let alone send troops to search it.

However, going back 1000 years and counting back 500 years, there has never been a time when the Kong family and the assassination of the king were involved in such treacherous things as killing Jia.

In feudal society, although successive dynasties respected the Kong family, and the Kong family also claimed to be descendants of saints and their bloodline was nobler than that of the royal family, they were not so bad-minded as to use the hand holding the pen and the hand holding the knife handle to argue with each other. .

If the Kong family really had the guts, they wouldn't have surrendered forever.

So when Zhu Zhanju led his wolf-like jade guards to the gate of the Confucius Temple to search for assassins, the Kong family, apart from standing in front of him with a stern look and a soft heart, really didn't dare to fight with this Ming Dynasty man. What is the most powerful vassal king doing?

As for why Zhu Zhankun ordered all the Confucius family members to be detained before, there are still Confucius family members here in the Confucius Temple. It can only be said that Nei Kong and Wai Kong are already two families.

Of course, there were still some members of the Kong family who felt that the glory of the Kong family was too great, so they directly stood in front of Zhu Zhankun and said that if they wanted to go in, they should be chopped off first.

However, Zhu Zhanquan did not really force his way in at this time. After all, this was the Confucius Temple. If he really rushed in regardless of the situation, it would be hard to say this.

"Your Highness Prince Zheng, this is the Confucius Temple, which is dedicated to Saint Kong! How can you bring swords and soldiers in? Aren't you afraid of disturbing the saint?" A slightly courageous Kong family member stood in front of Zhu Zhanyu, trying to persuade Zhu Zhan He did not bring any troops or horses into the area.

However, Zhu Zhanquan did not accept this trick at all. He looked at the man and sneered: "Alarming the saint? The assassin escaping into the Confucius Temple is not disturbing the saint, but leading the troops to catch the assassin alone is actually disturbing the saint? Could it be that this assassin is really your Kong family? Isn’t it possible to send one?”

Of course, there is no truth to this statement, but if Zhu Zhanquan said this, then the yellow mud will fall off the crotch, which is either shit or shit.

Of course, the Confucius family could not refute this. After all, they could not insist that the Confucius Temple was blessed by a saint and that assassins did not dare to enter. If they really dared to say this, Zhu Zhanchen would really dare to treat them to noodles with a big knife.

"Where did His Highness Prince Zheng come from? All the children of the Kong family have been taught by saints. How could they send assassins to assassinate His Majesty and do such a treasonous thing!" Of course, the Kong family cannot accept this shit. If they become heirs of saints, Thousands of years of glory will be destroyed today.

However, besides defending, the Confucius family still wanted to make amends and said to Zhu Zhankun: "Your Highness, King Zheng, this Confucius Temple is a place dedicated to Confucius. It is not appropriate for you to enter with a large army like this. Even if it is The emperor also respects the Confucius Temple and the Holy Confucius. You should ask the emperor for an imperial edict before coming back." According to their thinking, this is already a step forward for Zhu Zhanqun. After all, the whole world is not the king's land. The world of the Ming Dynasty is still The Ming Emperor has the final say, especially when the emperor holds the handle of the knife.

So as long as Zhu Zhanqun went to ask for an imperial edict, the Kong family would have room to borrow the donkeys from Poxia, which would preserve their own face without really trying to compete with the imperial power.

As for the subsequent disturbance to the Confucius Temple, there will naturally be scholars all over the world who will criticize him verbally and writing, and there is no need for the Confucius family to stand up to the thunder.

However, Zhu Zhanquan had no intention of giving face to the Kong family when he came today, and not only was he trying to give face to the Kong family, he also wanted to expose the Kong family's reputation.

So when the Kong family asked him for an imperial edict, Zhu Zhanquan, who had been prepared for it, waved to the side with a sneer, called a eunuch over, and said to him: "Did you hear that? The Kong family wants an imperial edict. Write him one.”

Such domineering words really shocked the Kong family. When did imperial edicts become so cheap? If I want you to write one for me?Can you count what you wrote?Falsely spreading the imperial edict will cause your head to fall off, okay?
"His Royal Highness Prince Zheng! This imperial edict is the emperor's edict, and the emperor's intention can only come from the emperor. You are treasonous by writing the edict privately, and you are so arrogant and domineering. Do you want to rebel?" Who wouldn't blame someone?This is what their literati know best, so the label of rebellion, which is most taboo among kings, has been pinned on Zhu Zhancheng's head.

It's just that for Zhu Zhanjun, this is really meaningless, let alone useless.

Because Zhu Zhanchun just dug into his sleeve and took out a jade seal.

"The assassin disturbed the emperor last night. My emperor was furious and ordered Gu to arrest the assassin. The emperor has special powers and full power, and has the power to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises. This jade seal was also given by grandpa, so that I can use it to seal it when needed." Zhu Zhan Yun played with the jade seal and looked at the stunned Kong family in front of him. The sneer on his face became more and more murderous.

At this time, the eunuch on the side also drafted an imperial edict and sent it to Zhu Zhanchun.

After opening it and taking a look, he saw that the writing was smooth and there was nothing wrong with it. Zhu Zhanquan didn't bother to talk nonsense. He just took the jade seal and breathed deliberately before covering it on the imperial edict.

Now this imperial edict is truly an imperial edict and has the highest legal validity in the Ming Dynasty.

Then, Zhu Zhanquan threw it casually to the Kong family in front of him: "Take it, the imperial edict you want is written for you. If you dare to stop Gu, you will be disobeying the imperial edict and killing the Yi tribe." !”

After saying that, Zhu Zhanquan waved his hand directly, and the Qingyu Guard behind him who had been waiting for a long time immediately stepped forward, pushed away the Confucius family who were already at a loss with the imperial edict, and rushed into the Confucius Temple.

After a rummaging through boxes and cabinets, the sound of fighting soon came from the Confucius Temple.

Hearing the sound of fighting with swords, the Kong family instantly shook like chaff and their faces turned pale with fear.

And the way Zhu Zhanjuan looked at them was almost like looking at dead people.
