The Most Powerful Man in the World

The Confucius family has been passed down for thousands of years without falling, but the way of life is very proficient.

Chu Yi suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity, our family is here just to check on the emperor's behalf to find out whether this case of Song Yu's rebellion has anything to do with the Kong family, but he didn't expect to kill this clan elder. If His Majesty knew about it, he would definitely blame our family for not doing things well!"

Kong Wenshao hurriedly said: "What did the chief executive say, it was Kong Hong's clan elder who felt guilty for teaching Song Yu to be such a wicked and wicked traitor. He had no face to answer, and he committed suicide by taking poison. How can you blame the chief executive?"

With a wave of his hand, Kong Wenshao said, "Take the clan elder's body down."

There were only a dozen people in the hall, and it could be said that all of them were the core of the Kong family. Kong Wenshao clapped his hands, and immediately saw Kong Wenzheng coming with a roll of account books.

Kong Wenshao took the ledger and presented it to Chu Yi: "Major Director, this is our Kong family's affection for the Director General. We also ask the Director General to accept it with a smile. The matter of Song Yu really has nothing to do with my Kong Clan. The Confucius family is very grateful for being able to say a word or two for my Confucius family before your Majesty!"

Chu Yi opened the account book, and the first thing he saw was [-] taels of silver, [-] taels of gold, and [-] pieces of silk and silk...

The entire account book has more than ten pages, which are densely packed. All the above listed are all kinds of treasures. Even if he just flipped through two pages, Chu Yi did not read the next ten pages. He was bleeding profusely, and the so-called gifts presented were no less than two million taels.

Chapter 5 Do Your Majesty a favor! 【[-] more】

Kong Wenshao and the others all looked at Chu Yi nervously, knowing that Chu Yi had taken the money from Lu Wenyang, the governor of Caoyun, and handed it over to the emperor, calling Lu Wenyang's pit a terrible one. It would be strange if they were not worried.

With a slight smile on Chu Yi's face, he put the account book into his cuff, and nodded slightly: "Yan Sheng Gong has a heart, since this matter has nothing to do with Kong, our family will also report it to tomorrow, but... …”

When Kong Wenshao heard the words, he quickly said: "If the chief executive has something to say, just say it bluntly."

Chu Yi's face showed a look of difficulty, looked at Kong Wenshao and said: "Yan Sheng Gong also knows that even if I say something to the Kong family, it will only be effective if Your Majesty has a good impression of the Kong family."

Kong Wenshao understood and said: "I also ask the chief to give some pointers! I, Kong, will be very grateful."

Chu Yi coughed softly: "Your Majesty has the intention of opening the sea recently, but you also know that many people in the court have always been firmly opposed to opening the sea, and Your Majesty is worried. If a person who is highly respected and virtuous has written to His Majesty and asked His Majesty to open the sea, I think it will certainly be able to quell some of the disputes in the court. With His Majesty's heart, our family can help the Confucius family to say something, right?"

Kong Wenshao couldn't help but be stunned. To be honest, Kong Wenshao instinctively didn't want to go to the muddy waters. A fool knows that if he supports Kai Hai, he will definitely offend a large number of people.

However, Chu Yi looked at him with a smile on his face, which made Kong Wenshao smile bitterly in his heart. If Kong Wenshao didn't know who Chu Yi was, he wouldn't appear to be so knowledgeable when facing Chu Yi.

It was precisely because he knew who Chu Yi was that Kong Wenshao knew that if he did not agree to Chu Yi this time, I was afraid that the matter of Song Yu would not come to an end.

Taking a deep breath, Kong Wenshao looked at Chu Yi with a loyal look on his face, and cupped his hands in the direction of the capital, "You can rest assured, Chief Executive, it is your duty as a minister to share your worries for Your Majesty, and Kong must surely A memorial will be drafted as soon as possible to invite the emperor to open the sea."

Chu Yi laughed and said: "Yan Sheng Gong really understands the righteousness, so the governor can also excuse the Kong family in front of the emperor."

A feast can be described as a feast for the guests.

In a different courtyard, Chu Yi and the others were arranged here by the Kong family.

This other courtyard is not too far from the Confucius family's mansion. It can be described as a beautiful scenery.

At this moment, in the study, Cao Shaoqin was facing Chu Yi and said, "Master, did you just let the Kong family go? Then Kong Hongli didn't commit suicide by taking poison at all. If there was no accident, he should have been poisoned by their Kong family. ."

Chu Yi flipped through the books in his hand, without raising his head, he just said lightly: "Oh, according to your opinion, what should the Governor do?"

Cao Shaoqin was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and finally sighed and said, "The Governor is wise!"

Chu Yi then glanced at Cao Shaoqin and said, "Understood? It's good to understand, everything has to be a choice. Since the Kong family knows the current affairs, then the Governor will not go to kill them all. It must be known that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Killing may not be comparable to the suppression of the faction by the La faction, you can understand this, and you can rest assured that the Governor will hand over the Dongchang to you in the future."

Cao Shaoqin hurriedly bowed to Chu Yi and said, "This servant has disappointed the governor!"

With a wave of his hand, Chu Yi said to Cao Shaoqin, "Okay, go and hand Song Yu over to the Kong family!"

Cao Shaoqin left in response.

When Kong Wenshao and others saw Cao Shaoqin bring Song Yu, the Kong family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Chu Yi was willing to hand Song Yu to them, which showed Chu Yi's attitude.This made everyone in the Confucius family who were uneasy in their hearts put their hearts into their stomachs.

After Kong Wenshao and others sent Cao Shaoqin away, their attention naturally shifted to Song Yu.

Song Yu didn't seem to be hurt, but his cultivation base had already been abolished, and now he is just a cripple who is weaker than ordinary people.

Kong Wenshao, Kong Wenzheng and the others looked at Song Yu with hateful eyes.

Song Yu went to the capital and was fooled to assassinate the emperor. That's fine. The most hateful thing is that Song Yu was captured alive. If you fail the assassination, don't you know the consequences? If your identity is exposed, you will be implicated. The Kong family, if you fail, won't you kill yourself?

As a result, Song Yu was captured alive, causing their Kong family to fall into a passive state.

If Song Yu committed suicide at that time, even if Song Yu's identity was found out, the Kong family could not admit that Song Yu was their disciple of the Confucian family, and even accuse Chu Yi of being framed.

Looking at Song Yu, Kong Wenshao sighed: "Send him to accompany the old Hongli clan!"

The originally calm eyes suddenly became bright, Song Yu couldn't help staring at Kong Wenshao and said hoarsely: "Where is the teacher, how are you doing with the teacher?"

Kong Wenzheng stepped forward and snorted coldly: "Nie Zha, if it wasn't for you, why would the elder Hongli take poison to kill himself for the sake of his family? You have killed the elder Hongli!"

Song Yu was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, then she reacted, looking at Kong Wenshao, Kong Wenzheng and the others, and then burst into laughter.

Kong Wenzheng frowned as he watched Song Yu laugh and said, "Take it away!"

The two disciples of the Kong family stepped forward and escorted Song Yu and Kong Wenzheng to leave. Not long after, Song Yu, whose face was ashen, whose seven orifices were bleeding and had no breath, was carried out.

Kong Wenshao glanced at him and said, "Bury him next to the old Hongli clan!"

While speaking, Kong Wenshao said to Kong Wenzheng: "Wenzheng, you go to see Chu Yi tomorrow and invite him to my Kong family library."

For a moment, Kong Wenzheng looked at Kong Wenshao puzzled, only to hear Kong Wenshao say: "Don't forget, although Chu Yi is an eunuch, he likes to read, and regardless of his identity, he is a Even a learned scholar may not be able to compare with him, this person loves all kinds of isolated classics, my Confucius family has nothing else, and there are many such isolated classics."

Kong Wenzheng reacted at once, with a smile on his face: "The head of the family said very well, since you want to make Chu Yi happy, then you will do your best, and I will arrange this matter properly."

Patting Kong Wenzheng on the shoulder, Kong Wenshao said with a light smile, "Brother Wenzheng is doing business, so you can rest assured for your brother."

Early the next morning, Kong Wenzheng and Yan Qi went to the door in person to ask to see Chu Yi.

When meeting Chu Yi, Kong Wenzheng said to Chu Yi: "I have tasted that the general manager likes all kinds of isolated classics, and the owner of the house specially ordered Wen Zheng to come and invite the general manager to go to the library built by my Yan and Kong families. I don't know if the general manager can willing!"

A light flashed in Chu Yi's eyes. Since he came to the Kong family, Chu Yi had no intention of letting go of the Confucius family's collection of books from the very beginning.

In this world, apart from the imperial palace, when it comes to the collection of numerous books, I am afraid that few can compare with the Kong family.

It can even be said that even the royal family may not be able to reach the Confucius family.

After all, dynasties have changed, and a dynasty has been around for hundreds of years. If the royal family does not pay enough attention to the isolated classics, then even the royal family may not be able to collect many isolated classics.

However, the Confucius family is different. It has been passed down for thousands of years and has hardly been cut off. The Confucius family has absolutely no shortage of books.

Moreover, the Confucian family is very likely to have the handwriting of the Confucian sages passed down.

For example, the ancient books written by sages such as Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi, although the possibility of being passed down is extremely small, but even if it is only one in ten thousand, once it can be seen, Chu Yi is very much looking forward to seeing such ancient books written by the sages. , how much luck will it contain?

Chu Yi laughed loudly and said, "I don't dare to invite you, but Chu is disrespectful!"

Kong Wenzheng said with great joy: "It is my Kong's honor to be able to visit my Kong's library."

The Kong Family Library is said to be a library, but it turns out to be a library made of bluestones. It uses very little wood, and it is obviously for fire prevention and waterproofing.

Moreover, stone is obviously more durable than wood. Even if the stone is built in the past thousand years, it will not rot. However, the wood will rot for hundreds of years, and it is flammable. Naturally, it will not be selected as a book. main body of the building.

Kong Wenzheng introduced to Chu Yi: "This book building was built during the Tang Dynasty, and has been around for nearly a thousand years. It contains the classics collected by my Kong family for thousands of years. There are many isolated and rare books. I want to come here. The overseer will surely like it."

Chu Yi smiled slightly and said, "I think Mr. Kong must know a lot about the collection of books in this library."

Kong Wenzheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Kong Mou only knows a thing or two about the collection of books in the library. If you really want to know something about the books in the library, Yan Qi is the best."

Yan Qi, who has been silent all the time, just like a dumb literati, saw Chu Yi looking at him, then nodded towards Chu Yi and said, "Brother Wen Zheng is exaggerating, and Yan Qi is just a perennial stay. In the bookstore, that's why I know more about the collection of books in the bookstore than the average person."

Chu Yi heard the words and said, "Oh, I don't know how many books are in this library?"

Kong Wenzheng nodded at Yan Qi, and heard Yan Qi say: "Reporting to the general manager, the library has combined the strength of my Yan and Kong families. There are as many as [-] scrolls, among which there are no less than [-] scrolls alone or rare, involving astronomy, geography, medicine, agronomy, sorcery and so on.”

Hearing what Yan Qi said, even Chu Yi couldn't help but marvel at it. It really deserves to be the family with the longest inheritance. If nothing else, the Kong family has so many books in this library that it has established the foundation of the Kong family. , In this era, ordinary people yearn for a book and can't get it, but the Confucius family has a collection of millions of volumes.

However, the most curious thing is whether there are actually handwritten books written by the Confucian sages and sages thousands of years ago in the Confucius family library.

[The fifth update has been delivered, and the word has been fulfilled. Those big guys who say that they will vote for the monthly ticket at the fifth update, the fleas are fighting so hard, are they encouraged by the votes! 】

Chapter 1 The altar shakes [[-] more]

Looking at China, there are only a handful of families that have truly inherited more than a thousand years, that is, the Confucius family in Qufu, the Zhang family in Jiangxi, and even the Zhang family are hundreds of years behind the Confucius family.

In particular, the protection of the Confucian sage's legacy provides a natural guarantee for the inheritance of the Confucius family's collection of books. If there are books written by the sages for thousands of years, then the biggest possibility is the Confucius family.

Walking among the bookshelves, the smell of books wafted through the nostrils, many of which were mottled and mottled. Fortunately, the Kong family loved these books very much. Otherwise, during this period, I don’t know how many books would have disappeared in the world for various reasons.

Before the footsteps stopped on a bookshelf, the books on it were more seriously damaged, Kong Wenzheng sighed: "Most of the books stored in this place are books from the Tang Dynasty, because of the long time, many of them are already damaged, fortunately My Confucius family will send special personnel to maintain and transcribe these classics that show signs of damage, so that even if the original is damaged, at least there are copies."

Chu Yi nodded slightly, in any case, the Kong family's move still played a certain role in the protection of Chinese cultural heritage.

Going forward, it was a scroll of ancient books made of bamboo slips. Even these bamboo slips looked quite old, and the colors of those bamboo slips were extremely dull.

Yan Qi pointed to the bamboo slips that occupied a large area and said, "These are the classics from the Qin and Han Dynasties collected by the two families, but these bamboo slips are also badly damaged. Fortunately, the contents have been copied and preserved by the ancestors, and these bamboo slips are also Not many people went to look at it.”

Chu Yi sighed softly: "There will always be wars in China every few hundred years. I don't know how many classics have disappeared in the wars. The Kong family has preserved many classics, including books on agriculture, medicine, astronomy and geography, etc. Chu will send a special person later. Come to sort, transcribe, and engrave, so that it can be passed on to the world, and I hope the Confucius family can open the door of convenience!"

When Kong Wenzheng heard the words, he sternly said: "I have heard that the chief administrator loves to collect classics, and even publishes many isolated and rare books for the benefit of the world's students. The chief administrator has done such a grand event, and I, Mr. Kong, should follow in the footsteps of the chief administrator. Assist the director in publishing the classics."

You don't need to think about it to know that Kong Wenzheng's words are definitely wrong. In this era, knowledge also represents identity and status. Although these families' monopoly on knowledge is not as strict as before, many isolated and rare books are indeed mastered. In the hands of these long-established families, they have never been passed on to outsiders, and they are regarded as family heritage. I don't know how many precious classics in China are so broken and lost in the long river of history.

It is strange that these people would be happy to want these people to take out the isolated classics from the family's secret collection and pass it on to the world, but the Kong family did not dare to brush off Chu Yi's meaning in the face of Chu Yi. Although these classics are said to be precious, they are good. In Chu Yi, it is not to publish all the isolated classics and spread them all over the world, but to select Chinese medical books, agricultural books, astronomy, geography, etc. for publication.

In comparison, the people of the Confucian family naturally value those precious Confucian classics. As for these medical books, agricultural books, etc., they can be discarded in comparison. To gain Chu Yi's favor, why not do such beautiful things?

Chu Yi casually flipped through some books, and there was really no response from the altar of luck in the sea of ​​​​knowledge. Needless to say, even many of these books were named after the great Confucian sages. In fact, more of them were copied by later generations. Well, as for the original handwriting of the sages, it was either hidden by the Kong family, or it was already destroyed and lost in time.

Kong Wenzheng had been paying attention to the changes in Chu Yi's expression all the time. Seeing that Chu Yi showed no interest in these classics, Kong Wenzheng was a little worried.

According to the information collected by the Kong family, Chu Yi was quite fond of many sages' classics, so he specially led Chu Yi to this area.

There are many books of sages stored here, but Chu Yi took a lot of them from the bookshelf. Unfortunately, Chu Yi just flipped through them and put them on the bookshelf, which made Kong Wenzheng's reaction to Chu Yi very different. Is puzzled.

Just when Kong Wenzheng was full of doubts, Chu Yi glanced at Kong Wenzheng and said, "Mr. Kong, the Confucian family has inherited thousands of years of poetry and books. I wonder if Chu can have such an honor to see the classics written by the sages himself?"

Kong Wenzheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, a look of stunned expression appeared on his face, and he realized in his heart that it was not that Chu Yi had no interest in these books, but he was originally interested in the ancient books.

When it comes to the original scriptures of the sages, Kong Wenzheng was naturally a little hesitant in his heart, but it was only a moment's effort that Kong Wenzheng made a decision.

As an elder of the Kong family, although he said that it was a bit over the top to show people the classics of the sages, but if this person was Chu Yi, even if it was Duke Yansheng Kong Wenshao, he would definitely not stop him.

Anyway, their Confucius family has already made up their minds, no matter what kind of price they pay, they will entertain Chu Yi. As for Chu Yi's request, as long as their Confucius family can do it, they will definitely not refuse.

Watching the ancient books of the sages is nothing more than a loss for the Kong family, so Kong Wenzheng made a decision in a blink of an eye.

With a slight smile on his face, Kong Wenzheng said to Chu Yi: "My Kong family does indeed have collections of books written by the sages, but most of these books are mottled and eroded over time, and many of them are already broken to the limit. My ancestors of the Confucius family ordered someone to transcribe it, and then carefully stored it in the secret room, and did not allow anyone to touch it under normal circumstances, for fear of damaging the treasures of the sages!"

Chu Yi narrowed his eyes and said with a chuckle: "Oh, it seems that Chu has no such blessing!"

When Kong Wenzheng heard the words, he quickly said, "The general manager is joking. With the knowledge of the general manager, there are few people in the world, so he is naturally qualified to read the ancient books."

Kong Wenzheng had a wry smile in his heart. If it wasn't for his quick response, the chief executive would have changed his face when he said that he changed his face. For such a great god, the Kong family couldn't afford to provoke him at all.If Chu Yi hates Chu Yi because of this problem, then he is the biggest sinner of the Kong family.

While speaking, Kong Wenzheng first led the way to Chu Yi and said, "Master Chief, come with me!"

Chu Yi nodded slightly, and saw that Kong Wenzheng was leading the way first, passing through a bookshelf, and in the middle of the library, there was an incense case and a stone statue. Just looking at the stone statue, Chu Yi could recognize it at a glance. Statue of Confucian sage Confucius.
