People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 216 Princes: What will happen if the eldest brother is here? ah! Brother, you are here, I will give you a kowtow

Ling Han's mood is very complicated now.

He got the news immediately about what Chen Han did in Qufu.

We also discussed these matters with Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Prince Zhu Biao.

For a scholar, what Chen Han did was really inappropriate.

The graves of nine generations of Duke Yansheng were dug up and even their corpses were whipped.

Kong Kejian, Kong Xixue and his son were not only beaten to death, but their bones were also burned.

This is a great humiliation for scholars.

Of course, Ling Han, the Minister of Rites, was criticized by people all over the world for people like Kong Kejian who were at both ends of the spectrum and wavered between the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

What is even more hateful is that the Mongolian Tatars brought a lot of rights to the Confucius family, who were Han Chinese.

This old guy only cares about siding with the Yuan Dynasty and helping the Yuan Dynasty suppress the uprising of the Red Turban Army.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not directly chop this old thing into pieces at that time, which was already considered as giving him a lot of face.

As a result, Kong Kejian never dared to have any plans to meet with the emperor except for coming to the court once a year.

But no matter what, Kong Kejian is still Yan Shenggong.

Chen Han took his body out of the coffin, which had not turned into bones, and gave him a hundred lashes. He poured tung oil on it and burned it. The ashes were scattered everywhere.

This is a bit sad to be honest.

But Chen Han's approach made the people around Qufu celebrate lively for several days.

Even the surrounding fireworks and firecrackers are sold out, so you know that the Kongfu is in Qufu, and that is a bully.

Moreover, Chen Han was very good at using public opinion. After he whipped the corpses of all Yan Shenggong, he immediately asked the Daming Engineering College Newspaper to publish the matter.

Especially publicizing it in front of ordinary people.

Aren't most people illiterate?

He asked Zhu Youdun's troupe to compile a drama and sing it everywhere in the capital.

The common people gritted their teeth every time they heard it.

Every time I heard that Duke Yansheng of Confucius was whipped to death, I cried with joy.

Under this situation, no one dared to criticize Chen Han's behavior.

Even if a scholar dared to scold Chen Han for doing something wrong in the theater, a pile of plates, bowls, cups, and even scalding tea would immediately come flying out, and the scholar would not dare to offend the public.

It can only be said that in the eyes of Qufu and even the people of the world, Duke Yan is not a model of scholars at all, but a worm in the world.

Chen Han got rid of the moth, how could the people be unhappy?

Because of this, Ling Han felt so complicated.

As far as Gong is concerned, he believes that the thoughts of Confucius and Mencius have nourished China for thousands of years, and there is no credit but hard work.

And it has changed the ideological genes of the people in the Central Plains, which is something that will shine through the ages.

But what I didn't expect was that the descendants of Saint Kong would be so unsatisfactory and cause so many outrageous things. This is also a typical representative of the tiger father and the dog son.

Chen Han's official ship quickly stopped at the dock, and the spiral staircase was lowered. The first people to come down were Qufu students who had passed strict screening and met the admission standards of Daming Engineering College.

These students all came from ordinary people's backgrounds. They had been wandering around the small place of Qufu all their lives and came to the capital for the first time.

Looking at the prosperity, I didn't know where to look.

They hurriedly got off the boat, and then stood solemnly and neatly on the edge of the pier, waiting for Chen Han to get off.

Even though everyone wanted to see the bustling streets of the capital, they strictly followed the instructions of respecting their teacher and had to wait for Chen Han to disembark before they could walk.

Chen Han did not deliver any speech on the dock, but was picked up directly by three carriages sent by Princess Jiangdu.

Why three carriages?

There is absolutely no intention of extravagance or waste.

It's because these three carriages are exactly the same in terms of style and decoration.

Under the cover of the guards, Chen Han randomly got into a carriage and headed into the city.

It's not that Chen Han cherishes his life, it's because he is currently on the cusp of the storm, and countless people have already regarded Chen Han as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of him quickly.

So the more crowded the place, the more dangerous it is.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites did not expect that Chen Han would leave in such a hurry, so they quickly played music to welcome Chen Han into the city.

Hundreds of thousands of people along the way gave Chen Han a thumbs up and shouted crazily about Chen Han's title.

King Yan and King Jin and King Zhou looked at Chen Han's status in the hearts of the people and saw such a strict escort, and their impressions of Chen Han increased.

"It is said that Chen Han is prospering now, but I have never seen him before, but now I see him, it is really touching.

Even if princes like you and I enter the capital, they won't be in such a posture.

Hundreds of thousands of people came to welcome him. It can be seen that Chen Han now not only has a strong foundation for reform.

Even if he enters politics in the future, no one can stand in his way.

The old man asked us to meet with him when we come back to discuss the so-called Daming Chamber of Commerce.

We originally wanted to use the name of the prince and the limelight of being his elders to overshadow him.

But now it seems that he may not give us face by then. "

Prince Jin said with a somewhat ugly expression.

In the end, Chen Han's reforms touched no one's interests, but they were untouched.

But once you cut off your own people's salary, even if it's not a lot, just showing it to the world, it's heartbreaking.

At the same time, there is also resentment in my heart.

Originally, this time he was going to the capital to celebrate the prince's birthday to suppress Chen Han's vigor, but now it seems that whether he can continue the fight or not is one thing.

It was estimated that he and others would not have much weight in speaking in front of him.

When the time comes, my eldest brother will definitely help Chen Han support the show.

Judging from the popularity he now has in the capital, Chen Han may not take him and others seriously.

King Yan Zhu Di smiled: "Let's go. Since he is back, he should meet us tomorrow. We have to see what cards this kid will play for us then.

As long as we don't deal with the cards he plays, we obviously have nothing against Big Brother, but our family has to unite and give this kid some power, and let him know that we are his elders. "

King Yan Zhu Di felt that this was very important, because it was probably an excuse to ask for benefits from Chen Han in the future.

As long as Chen Han understands that he is his elder, it is quite simple to get some money and some rights based on Chen Han's ability.

This is also a little bit of King Yan's own thoughts. How can others not hear it?

……

Chen Han returned all the way to his mansion.

Looking at everything at home as usual.

Under the care of Princess Jiangdu, the house was in order, so that Chen Han had no worries.

After returning to the mansion, Princess Jiangdu entered the room to prepare bath water for Chen Han.

"Your trip to Qufu this time, although it was only for a short period of twenty days, caused a shock throughout the world.

You are truly a destabilizing factor for our Ming Dynasty. "

As she spoke, Princess Jiangdu herself laughed.

"Is this what the old man said?"

Chen Han asked.

Princess Jiangdu burst into laughter: "If you don't say anything, Grandpa Huai is very kind to you now.

The old man said that you were given to Ming Dynasty by God, and you must be respected.

But to the old man, you are always the monkey cub.

When you teased him like this on the mountain, the old man held a very grudge.

But to be honest, I really thank you. Now that Grandpa Huang is in better health and without such a heavy burden, the old man can handle government affairs with ease.

He no longer had to stay up all night reviewing memorials like before, and his face looked much better.

Now the reform has begun to bear fruit. After one year, everyone has seen the effects of the tax system reform and ideological reform.

In particular, the tax reform has relieved a lot of burdens on the people.

Grandpa Huang, who started his career as a common man, has always valued you very much.

Husband, I am so proud of you. "

Chen Han looked at his wife.

My wife always thinks about herself, whether she is on the mountain or down the mountain.

No matter whether he was reforming or going out to do so many dangerous things, she always accompanied him without any complaints. Even though she often goes out, she has no complaints.

Such a good woman would be rare in modern times.

There are many little fairies in modern times who want men to work for them and make money for them.

At the same time, they always blame men for not accompanying them when they go out, so they try all kinds of tricks.

What's more serious is spending a man's money to support another man outside.

But in the Ming Dynasty, his wife was so virtuous and never unhappy because he neglected her because he often went out.

He has never criticized me in his career, but has always been supportive.

Even sacrificing herself to protect herself.

Chen Han felt ashamed when he thought of this.

Gently caressing Princess Jiangdu's smooth and flawless face, he looked at his wife who was still tidying up for him eagerly, preparing to prepare bath water for him to take a bath.

Chen Han grabbed her hand and said, "Madam, you have suffered a lot these days."

Two people say anything in the bedroom without so many scruples.

Chen Han knew very well what kind of woman Princess Jiangdu was.

He is a person who dares to love and hate, and he has already shown his fierce side on the mountain. In fact, Princess Jiangdu has always been very knowledgeable about the affairs between men and women.

But she never forced Chen Han too much.

Gave Chen Han enough freedom.

Because of this, Chen Han felt even more guilty towards Princess Jiangdu.

So he whispered in Princess Jiangdu's ear, "Let's have a baby as soon as possible, so that you can think of me when I'm not around you."

Princess Jiangdu blushed and patted his chest gently, "In broad daylight..."

"What's the point? We are a legal couple!"

As she spoke, Princess Jiangdu squealed and pushed her away from the princess' arms, and walked towards the embroidery bed.

Then more than [-] words were omitted.

……

Early the next morning.

In the duty room of the cabinet.

Chen Han made an appointment with the princes of Jin, Yan, Zhou, Chu, Qi, Shu, Xiang and other princes.

Since King Qin is still under house arrest in Fengyang Mansion, he asked his eldest son Zhu Shangbing to attend this meeting instead of him.

Zhu Shangbing looked at the uncles in the room and was so frightened that he hid in the corner.

Because none of his uncles are good people to mess with.

Especially the two kings of Jin and Yan.

They have led troops to fight outside all year round, and they have an aura of bravery about them.

Not to mention that he was only the eldest son of King Qin, even the other vassal kings were afraid when they saw these two brothers.

So in this small duty room, King Jin and King Yan were the most active.

After everyone talked about the brotherhood, King Jin and King Yan gathered all the brothers together.

King Jin first said: "Wait a minute, Chen Han will mention the issue of the formation of the Daming Chamber of Commerce. According to the instructions given by the old man, all our vassals are required to invest in the establishment of the Daming Chamber of Commerce.

Since we established it ourselves, how can it be controlled by Chen Han, right?

But Chen Han will definitely not give him the right, so if we want to have some say, we have to take it from him.

Again, we brothers work together to break the gold.

Let's give Chen Han a show of strength first, and don't let him get in trouble. What do you think? "

King Yan Zhu Di said: "This is a matter of everyone's interests. No one can be a coward!"

Then he looked at Zhu Shangbing and said, "You are Chen Han's student now, but you must stand with your uncles on this matter, do you know?"

Zhu Shangbing groaned: "Huh? Is there anything else I have to do?"

Zhu Di reprimanded: "Ah, you bastard! You are not you now, you represent your father, do you understand?"

"Ah? I'm not me?" Zhu Shangbing was confused.

"Okay, he's still young, Bing, just follow what the third uncle says later!" King Jin sympathized with Zhu Shangbing.

Zhu Shangbing nodded: "Okay!"

King Chu then said: "Third brother, fourth brother, you are right, Chen Han is a minister, how can he command us?

I listen to you two, and I will do whatever you tell me to do. "

The king of Xiang, Zhu Bai, had the best relationship with the king of Yan, Zhu Di, since they were young. He was young, but he quickly raised his hand: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, I support you, I support you!"

King Yan Zhu Di stepped forward and touched King Xiang's head.

The other princes also expressed their determination to give Chen Han a blow.

King Jin even said directly, "Even if there is big brother to support him, we must not lose our own momentum, do you understand?"

"Third Brother, don't worry!"

"Third brother, you have to be tougher this time!"

"Yes, it concerns everyone's dignity, so you can't stop eating!"

"As long as you can stay calm, we will definitely support you!"

King Jin snorted: "What are you talking about? Even if the eldest brother is here..."

As he was talking, a majestic voice came from outside, "Do you want to rebel?!!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room fell silent.

Prince Jin even shrank his neck and swallowed what he just said.

Even quickly move away from the door.

Because this voice is too familiar.

It was their eldest brother, Prince Zhu Biao.

In Lao Zhu's family, there is an old father, Lao Zhu, and a younger father, that is the eldest brother Zhu Biao.

Lao Zhu was away fighting all year round and had no time to take care of his children.

Therefore, most of the brothers in the family grew up with the eldest brother Zhu Biao.

As the saying goes, an eldest brother is like a father. Even older princes like King Qin, King Jin, and King Yan did not even dare to raise their heads in front of Prince Zhu Biao.

It was really that kind of oppression that made them tremble.

And whether they were young or grown up, when they caused trouble outside, there was never a time when their elder brother wasn't there to protect them and help them sort out the trouble.

The majesty accumulated since childhood is no joke.

All princes may not be afraid of Lao Zhu sometimes, but when they hear the eldest brother's voice, they subconsciously sit upright.

The door opened with a crash.

Prince Zhu Biao stood at the door with his hands behind his back, his face full of majesty.

Chen Han stood behind Prince Zhu Biao with a slight smile on his face.

With his father-in-law supporting him, not to mention these princes, they can even walk like this beside the old man.

When Zhu Biao arrived, all the princes who had been arguing just now, even if Chen Han had the support of his elder brother, had to argue with Chen Han, no longer dared to speak.

Waiting for Prince Zhu Biao to walk into the duty room with his hands behind his back.

King Jin and King Zhu Di rubbed their hands and stepped forward with playful smiles.

King Jin said directly: "Brother, I was helping you reprimand them just now.

The younger brother said, Chen Han is doing this for our own good. From now on, we must listen to Chen Han's advice on matters related to the Daming Chamber of Commerce, otherwise we will be punished.

We have just reached an agreement, and if Chen Han says anything later, we will not refute it. "

As he spoke, Jin King Zhu Fan looked at the brothers present and said, "Do you think so? Did I just say that?"

The brothers below showed a look of disdain and almost spit on King Jin's face.

shameless! !
