Chapter 60 Attacking the Confucian Mansion
"Each of you go back and get ready. In seven days, I will take you to Zhu Yunwen's world."
Lao Zhu said to everyone that he didn't want to deal with Chongzhen's mess for the time being. He would help his eldest son up first, and then turn around to clean up the mess of Chongzhen's world.
Things must be resolved one by one, otherwise they will only become more chaotic.
"How can the fourth uncle let his nephew's affairs go unchecked? Just leave it to us."
Zhu Di had a bad smile on his face. He was always interested in anything that could cause trouble for Zhu Yunwen.
"Listen to Grandpa Taizu."
Everyone nodded, Lao Zhu had already spoken, who dared to object.
Afterwards, everyone dispersed, leaving Zhu Houcong and his family staring with big eyes. They never imagined that after them, Ming Dynasty would gradually decay and decline until it became even more uncontrollable.
None of them felt that the fall of the Ming Dynasty was their own fault, and that there must be traitors involved in everything. After they returned, they would step up their efforts to deal with it.
In addition to Zhu Youjian of Chongzhen and Zhu Changluo of Taichang, Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli, and Tianqi, it is not difficult to deal with several people. There are many people who are willing to be the sword in their hands!
As for who is the traitor, it is up to the beholder and the wise to decide!
...
He had just handed over the blueprints for the construction of the Ming Dynasty treasure ship to Wang Yangming and asked Wang Yangming to find someone to research and manufacture it. Before Zhu Houzhao could take a break, bad news came again!
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. A large number of literati gathered outside the palace gate, demanding that your Majesty cancel the reform and severely punish Wang Yangming."
Liu Jin ran in in a panic. He felt that there was really going to be a big fuss this time. What was the difference between the literati gathering outside the palace gate and forcing the palace?
"court death!"
Zhu Houzhao was furious. He immediately thought that someone must be up to something and was trying to entangle the literati and force them into the palace. He was very familiar with one of the signature tactics of Ming dynasty civil servants.
"A bunch of brainless things."
While he was furious, he couldn't help but feel extremely troubled by the intellectuals who gathered outside the palace gate. He had suppressed the intellectuals so many times overtly and covertly, so why didn't they have a long memory?
Or do they think that they can change the general situation of the government with their passion.
Those who can be exploited by the civil service group are mostly young people who are just starting out. They are passionate but have little self-judgment. They are extremely easy to be exploited.
Nine out of ten of these scholars are angry youths who still have a certain degree of loyalty to the country. Although their actions are exploited by others, their intentions are still good. We cannot kill or arrest such scholars, which is extremely troublesome.
Once something is done forcefully and is used by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will not be easy to calm down.
The civil service group has always been very proficient in controlling the direction of public opinion and controlling the general trend of public opinion. Zhu Houzhao did not think that he used public opinion to kill a group of officials last time, and the civil service group would give up their old profession.
"Let Gu Dayong guard the palace gate for me. I will not allow anyone to be killed, nor will I allow a scholar to break into the palace."
Zhu Houzhao quickly made a decision. The angry young scholar who was exploited by the civil servant group could not be moved. If he wanted to solve this trouble, he would have to use some extraordinary means!
"Send a letter to Qiu Ju and ask him to find the old guy in the Confucius Mansion. I allow him to use any means."
Originally, he didn't want to take action against the Kong family for the time being, but the situation was like this. Only the descendant of the saint, the Kong family, spoke up, could this time the scholar-forced embezzlement be solved perfectly.
"yes."
Liu Jin hurriedly drafted the letter.
.....
"Come with us!"
After receiving the message, Qiu Ju did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately led his men to kill Confucius.
The Confucius family is called the descendant of a saint, and the head of the Confucius family is the hereditary Duke Yansheng. But in fact, the Confucius family is just a symbol, showing the status and respect of scholars. Although its influence is great, its strength is average. Qiu Ju is very
It was easy to control the entire Kong family.
"Qiu Ju, you damn eunuch, you dare to break into the Confucius Mansion and blaspheme the glory of the saint. I will report it to the emperor and have you quartered into pieces."
Even though he was a prisoner, the contemporary Yanshenggong Kong Wenshao still felt confident and cursed Qiu Ju. He was a direct descendant of the saint and the 61st generation grandson of Confucius. He did not believe that Qiu Ju dared to do anything to him!
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Qiu Ju let out a very cold and perverted laugh, and looked at Kong Wenshao as if he were a fool. He dared to attack the Kong family without the emperor's order.
I've been at ease for so long that my brain doesn't work anymore!
"Old Master Yan, do you think you can scare the emperor into living in our house?"
Qiu Ju pinched his orchid fingers, his posture was extremely seductive and he said with a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold.
"I advise you not to make mistakes."
Although Qiu Ju's strange appearance made him a little scared, Kong Wenshao was after all a Duke Yansheng who had seen big events, and his pride was still strong, so he would not be intimidated by Qiu Ju, a chamberlain.
"Is it!"
Qiu Ju smiled even more coldly and evilly, and then he pulled out a soft steel sword from his waist and killed Kong Wenshao's cousin with one strike.
"ah......"
Blood spattered on Kong Wenshao's body, and the pungent smell of blood almost scared the contemporary Duke Yan to the point of urinating. Never had he, who had always been pampered and pampered, seen such a bloody and violent scene.
He hurriedly wiped the blood on his face with a handkerchief, while not forgetting to threaten Qiu Ju: "You are finished, you are finished, I will report to the emperor and have your entire family executed."
Although Qiu Ju was an eunuch, no one in the world had any relatives or close friends. However, even Qiu Ju's relatives and friends could not scare Qiu Ju, and even Emperor Yan's special permission was of no use.
Whoosh
Another sword stabbed out, the speed of the sword was like a phantom, the sword flashed, and the head fell to the ground. This time it was Kong Wenshao's younger brother who died.
"Mr. Yansheng, do you still want to threaten our family?"
Qiu Ju said with a mocking look on his face. The bloody sword edge gave Kong Wenshao a great sense of fear.
Whether he can let the emperor kill Qiu Ju is still unknown, but Qiu Ju can now kill the entire Kong family.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Kong Wenshao asked desperately. He decided to compromise. He could kill Qiu Ju anytime he wanted. There was no need to fight to the death with Qiu Ju.
Confucius is a descendant of a noble saint, and it is not worthwhile to die together with Qiu Ju, an innocent eunuch.
In fact, Qiu Ju didn't want to really kill the Kong family. Even if he could use it as a bandit to wipe out the family afterwards, he didn't want to take the risk. After all, paper can't cover the fire. If you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it forever. If you are found out,
, he is definitely not having a good time.
Moreover, the living Kong family is more valuable than the dead Kong family.
"Your Majesty is trying hard to reform. Doesn't Duke Yansheng know about this?"
"I know, I know!"
Kong Wenshao responded quickly, fearing that the answer would be too late, Qiu Ju sent away one of his close relatives with another sword. He was a very conservative person and did not tolerate bloodshed.
"I wonder what Duke Yan Sheng thinks about this?"
view?
Kong Wenshao was stunned for a moment. What could he think? Although he had the hereditary title of Yan Shenggong, he had no real power in his hands. He was just a mascot. His only purpose was to worship Confucius and help the scholars from time to time.
Talk and show off his presence. Even if he wanted to participate in the imperial reform, he could not find a way out.
None of Confucius's disciples and grandsons have asked him for help. He can't be shameless and run to the capital. It would be too shameful!
