Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 203 Kong Wenshi on Trial

Ding Desong has been working with Yuan Keli for more than ten years, so he also has some of Yuan Keli's jealous and upright character. When he saw such a bloody scene, he didn't care who the person in front of him was. The civil servant of Shusheren shouted directly: "Take him down!"

At this time, two soldiers in mandarin duck battle robes dragged the emaciated Kong Wenshi up, and dragged Kong Wenshi out of the thatched cottage like a dead dog.But Kong Wenshi's servants did not dare to come to stop him, and Kong Xingxie, who was hiding behind the thatched cottage, smiled and walked out of Kong Wenshi's thatched cottage.

Kong Wenshi, covered in blood, was brought to Zhu Youxiao and Yuan Keli, and even brought the sword in his hand.

"What's going on here? Kong Wenshi is also a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, so you treat him like this?"

Yuan Keli asked his subordinates a few words, and Ding Desong didn't want to suffer from being dumb, so he hurriedly explained: "Reporting to Zhongcheng, it's not that the last general is reckless, but that the last general saw this man kill a young woman with his own eyes. , the sword in his hand is the physical evidence, and the person who was killed, the last general was also brought here."

As Ding Desong spoke, he waved to his people, and immediately saw a woman being carried up.

Seeing this, Kong Yinzhi couldn't help but exclaimed loudly: "Suwei, what's going on, you admire Qigong's talent, so I bestowed you on Qigong, my lord. How did you become like this within three days after you left? look."

Kong Yinzhi burst into tears as he spoke.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao quickly got up and shook his folding fan, and said, "Shenggong Kong Yan, you have good eyesight. Before the white cloth covering this woman's head was torn off, how did you know that she was called Suwei and that she was you?" To Kong Wenshi?"

Being asked by His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, Kong Yinzhi couldn't help crying, his face suddenly turned pale, he stuttered and didn't know what to say, and secretly regretted why he behaved like this just now In a hurry, I disrupted all the pre-designed routes.

"This, this", Kong Yinzhi said for a long time, and he didn't know what to say. He naturally knew that His Majesty might have seen through his own situation at this time, otherwise His Majesty would not have sneered at this time, but Kong Yinzhi Zhi is not worried that he will be punished by His Majesty because of this, as long as Kong Wenshi does not repent, His Majesty will have nothing to do with him even if he doubts him.

Zhu Youxiao returned to his seat and didn't say anything more. He wanted to see how Kong Yinzhi would deal with it next.

At this time, Yuan Keli asked Kong Wenshi. His face was livid and drawn very long, and he asked, "Kong Wenshi, tell me what's going on. The woman in front of me is just like what Kong Yan Shenggong said. It's called Suwei, and it's the maid he gave you."

Kong Wenshi stood up. Although he was of a high seniority in the Kong clan, his actual age was much younger than Kong Yinzhi's. No Kong Yinzhi seemed calm, tremblingly bowed his hands to Zhu Youxiao, and then bowed his head and replied: "Hui Zhongcheng, this girl is indeed Suwei, and she is the maidservant of Duke Yan who honors the students."

"Then was this person killed by you!"

Yuan Keli couldn't help being furious, this Kong Wenshi has a deep friendship with him, and he also knows that although Kong Wenshi is cowardly and inferior, he is indeed a clean and self-respecting person, even the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty, and the entire scholarly community, also respected him. He once praised Kong Wen's poems as having the legacy of a sage.

Therefore, Yuan Keli didn't want to believe that Kong Wenshi would do such a thing. He was a little frustrated, and he didn't even care that His Majesty Zhu Youxiao was also at the side at this time, so he yelled at Kong Wenshi and stared at him like fire Writing Kong Wenshi, as long as Kong Wenshi denies it, Yuan Keli will choose to believe him.

And Zhu Youxiao didn't expect Kong Wenshi to appear suddenly at this time, and he would admit what Kong Yinzhi said, although Zhu Youxiao didn't know Kong Wenshi, but he didn't want to make today's news just because of the sudden appearance of Kong Wenshi. Something went wrong in the interrogation of Kong Yinzhi.

So Zhu Youxiao also asked in a cold voice: "Kong Wenshi, you have to think about it. If you cover someone up, if I find out about it afterwards, I will punish the person who sheltered and the criminal together. Do you understand?"

"The student understands that the student dare not lie to His Majesty and Zhongcheng, but Su Wei was killed by the student. The student is ashamed of the sage's teaching. Your Majesty expects it!"

As soon as Kong Wenshi said that, he took off the crown on his head, and consciously knelt in front of Zhu Youxiao and Yuan Keli, but the whole movement was very stiff, and his temples were bulging. It seemed that he had made a major decision but he was against his will Generally, excruciatingly painful, with no sense of relief from admitting to one's sin.

Yuan Keli wished he could go over and slap this former friend a few times, gritted his teeth and asked, "Then the dozens of girls who were discovered were also killed by you?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Youxiao stood up straight away, dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground, pointed at Kong Wenshi and cursed: "Absurd! Kong Wenshi, aren't you afraid that I will chop off your head and copy your whole family!"

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao took a sneak peek at Kong Yinzhi, and saw Kong Yinzhi was smiling, as if he was very proud. Suddenly, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, just like Yuan Keli, he could also see this The incident was definitely not done by Kong Wenshi, so Zhu Youxiao was also very angry about Kong Wenshi's self-willing behavior.

Kong Wenshi knows how powerful His Majesty is today, and also knows that he is afraid to completely annoy His Majesty now, and his family cannot be spared, but when he thinks of what Kong Yinzhi said to him that day, he sacrificed himself and even himself for the benefit of the clan. When his family was nothing, he gritted his teeth and kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao:

"I know that I have committed serious crimes, and I implore Your Majesty to punish my crimes strictly. I and my family members will not blame Your Majesty." Kong Wenshi kept his head down as he spoke, not daring to look up at Zhu Youxiao.He knew that once he said these words, it would mean that he had completely sent his head to Zhu Youxiao's butcher's knife.

But Kong Wenshi did not regret it. Although he was bullied by the same clan members, he also received support and dedication from the same clan members after he entered school and even won the exam, so his feelings for the clan were complicated. A way to escape the clan's control.

For example, now, the clan is in trouble, especially the direct descendant of the Northern Zong Kongyan Sheng Gong. When His Majesty Zhu Youxiao wants to kill his Kong clan, as a clan member, he has no way to betray his clan, and he must save the clan, otherwise the clan will be killed. If he is destroyed, his thousands of years of glory of the Confucian family will be cut off, and it will be even more difficult for Confucian children like himself who are concubines and poor families to rise up in the future.

In addition, Kong Wenshi also understands the status of the Northern School represented by Kong Yan Shenggong in the Confucianism. Once the Beizong Kong family is eliminated, it not only means that the Confucian Northern School will fall from the peak of the Confucianism, but also means Confucianism lost its status as the only one in the world.

Yuan Keli really had nothing to say at this time, and Zhu Youxiao looked at this Kong Wenshi who was determined to sacrifice for the clan very depressedly. For some reason, he suddenly felt that this pedantic and stubborn Kong Wenshi was more cunning and cunning. The cruel and vicious Kong Yinzhi is even more hateful.

The former is the real reason why these aristocratic families are like rocks, and it is the biggest resistance to the promotion of small-scale peasant economy, because you have no way to eradicate them morally, you can only use violence, bloody violence, this may be why the reformers There must be a ruthless reason.
