Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 278 Zhu Yuanzhang met the Kong family of Beizong, and the legitimate son of the Kong family was scared!

Li Shanchang couldn't help but frown slightly after the two said this.

Because now that Zhang Cheng has resigned from the position of Chief Assistant and has been replaced by a high-status but indifferent Grand Master, he rarely comes out to meet other bureaucrats.

Therefore, it is now difficult for Li Shanchang to see Zhang Cheng.

This made Li Shanchang quite depressed.

Therefore, after the two of them said this, Li Shanchang couldn't help but frown and said with a wry smile:
"Why don't I know that only Mr. Zhang can stop the superior from doing some of the cruel things he might do?"

"However, Mr. Zhang is like a dragon now but never sees its end. It's really difficult to see him once!"

Li Shanchang sighed after speaking.

Zhang Zhong and Tao An also looked disappointed.

The most disappointing thing for these civil servants now is that Zhang Cheng no longer cares about everything in the world, and this makes it difficult for them to see Zhang Cheng again.

But what they didn't know was that Zhang Cheng decided not to be the head of the world's officials just because he didn't want to stand up for them.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to cooperate with Zhang Cheng. Instead of forcing Zhang Cheng to continue to be the chief minister of the cabinet, he asked Zhang Cheng to be the grand master and only expressed his opinions to him.

People in this world, whether they are emperors or ministers, can only be controlled by him and cannot be controlled by him.

But now that Zhang Cheng can return to modern society at any time, he removed himself in advance.

same.

What's more, as Zhang Cheng is a modern person who can travel back and forth at any time, the world's bureaucrats are not qualified to coerce him.

He, Zhang Cheng, is like a god in this world.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not qualified to use him as a target.

Zhu Yuanzhang already understood this because of Zhang Cheng's confession.

So that the bureaucrats in the world cannot coerce him to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial power.

Simultaneously.

After meeting Kong Xixue, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Kong Xixue: "Is your Beizong Kong family really a descendant of Confucius?"

Zhu Yuanzhang could not attack the world's bureaucrats and establish greater prestige by attacking him.

Zhang Cheng knew that as long as he dissuaded Zhu Yuanzhang from doing cruel things, breaking the rules agreed by everyone, and being a one-man thief because he represented the world's bureaucracy, then he and Zhu Yuanzhang would probably have conflicts and dissatisfaction, and then break into two parties. group.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not ask Zhang Cheng how to deal with the Kong family.

of course.

Furthermore, it would be difficult for them to support Zhang Cheng and ask Zhang Cheng to dissuade Zhu Yuanzhang from doing things that challenge the rules of the world in the name of seeking justice and fairness in the world. There was a rift between him and Zhu Yuanzhang, and they even broke up.

Kong Xixue replied: "I don't dare to hide it from the superiors. All the ministers are descendants of the sage Kong."

In that case, the outcome can only be that either Zhu Yuanzhang kills him, or he kills Zhu Yuanzhang, or he is killed by the world's bureaucrats because he is unwilling to represent the world's bureaucrats.

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that Zhang Cheng only cared about whether he brought him a lot of wealth, made China stronger and made the Chinese people more complicated, and did not care about how he treated the Kong family and whether he abided by the rules.

In this way, Zhang Cheng is free from this power field, only sharing the benefits and not taking risks. At most, he can only mediate when the situation becomes turbulent.

"Did our Datong Society declare Confucius a saint?!"

"You actually shamelessly called Confucius a saint."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly.

Kong Xixue hurriedly knelt down and said, "Yes! I made a mistake."

"stand up!"

"Kneeling is strictly prohibited in Datong Society."

Kong Xixue had no choice but to stand up, his body trembling slightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Since you are a descendant of Confucius, why did your Majesty loyal to the Tatars, receive the title of the Tatars, and call our rebels thieves and suggest that Hu Yuan suppress us?"

Kong Xixue could not help but tremble even more for a while, but after thinking for a while, he replied: "This is all caused by my father's confusion! Please forgive me!" "Just confusion?"

"If you are just confused, it means that you, the son, have no advice."

"So, the crime of betraying China and betraying China must be borne by you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Kong Xixue suddenly raised his head and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang. Then, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's stern eyes full of murderous intent. He was so frightened that he lowered his head again.

Kong Xixue was not an idiot. After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he naturally understood that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to avenge his father's disrespect for Datong Society and Zhu Yuanzhang's personal disrespect.

Therefore, after Kong Xixue lowered his head, he began to answer Zhu Yuanzhang cooperatively:
"I made a mistake. My father is not stupid. He is greedy for the wealth and glory given by Hu Yuan. He is also afraid of being punished by Hu Yuan, so he did this."

"So your father is a shameless person?"

"Yes."

"No, you didn't tell us the truth."

Zhu Yuanzhang said something again at this time.

Kong Xixue heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said and had to say hurriedly: "I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"My father is not only afraid of Hu Yuan, he is also very reactionary!"

Kong Xixue then replied.

"is it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression gradually softened.

"Yes!"

Kong Xixue's forehead was already covered with sweat, but he didn't bother to wipe it off and just continued to answer:
"He hates Datong Society!"

"Because Datongshe promoted the truth that the king is appointed by the people, which ruined the opportunity for him to use the idea that the king is appointed by heaven to absolve himself of the crime of allegiance to the Tatars."

"That's why he took the initiative to propose to Emperor Hu Yuan, Shangshu, to brutally suppress the Datong Society and the rebels who sacrificed their lives and blood to drive out the Tartars!"

After Kong Xixue answered this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then asked: "Aren't you afraid of being unfilial by exposing your father's sins like this?"

Kong Xixue looked aggrieved and was about to cry, as if he was saying to Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart: "Didn't you force me to do this?!"

But Kong Xixue did not dare to blame Zhu Yuanzhang, and only replied: "Loyalty is greater than filial piety. In order to be loyal to China and not to bring shame to our ancestors, how can I hide my father's fault because of my foolish filial piety!"

"very good!"

"Then what do you think your father should do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Unworthy to be a descendant of Confucius!"

"You should be punished, you should be expelled from the family tree!"

Kong Xixue hurriedly answered.

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Wouldn't this make your position in the family tree unclear?"

"I would rather be together with my father than to bring shame to our ancestors!"

Kong Xixue continued to reply.

He just wanted to survive now, so he tried his best to say what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to hear.

Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more satisfied, so he continued to ask Kong Xixue:
"Is your Beizong Kong family the only one who should deal with it?"

Kong Xixue was startled when he heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said.

After thinking about it for a while, he understood Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose and hurriedly said:

"Not only my father, but also the Confucius family of our northern sect are guilty of betraying China. The previous generations of Yan Sheng Gong were guilty of actively betraying China, and our descendants are guilty of passive betrayal of China. Therefore, they are no longer worthy of being included in the Confucius family tree, so that our ancestors It is humiliating and damages the righteousness of Confucianism!”
