I never thought that it would be fake if Yan Shenggong would be fake!"

Zhao Shu was fussing, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, there was nothing to be surprised. Their Zhao family, including him, had only passed on five emperors and four generations. During this period, Zhao Er assassinated the eldest brother, and Zhenzong and Renzong almost had no descendants.

The Kong family has been passed down for more than 40 generations, can there be few stories? During this period, it experienced the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the chaos at the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. After several chaos, there was no time to take care of what happened to the Kong family. It is difficult to explain clearly.

Maybe Confucius' true descendants would have disappeared long ago.

There is a clear statement about the Kongmo Rebellion. Of course, there are many doubts and doubts. No one can tell whether there is anything more terrifying than the Kongmo Rebellion.

Therefore, the Kong family in Qufu has had nothing to do with the saints for a long time.

It’s just that the court respects Confucius and Confucianism, which praised the Confucius family as a mascot.

When the court did not need the Kong family, they could be destroyed in minutes!

Zhao Shu thought for a while and immediately asked someone to invite his master.

"I think the Kong family will be destroyed."

Wang Ning'an nodded with a smile, "Your Majesty, in order to prosper the academic studies of hundreds of schools, it is indeed necessary to abolish the unified status of Confucianism to give other scholars a space to survive. Since Confucianism is to abolish Confucianism, we must first move the Kong family. Only by cutting down this banner can we discuss the following matters. Moreover, from the Qingmiao Law, the Fangtian Equity Tax Law, to the reform of the tax system and the development of industry, the Kong family has strongly opposed it. They have millions of arable land, fish and meat, and resist reform. Many families are competing to imitate it, which has become the biggest obstacle to the reform!"

"What Master said is very true. Because of this, the Kong family must be eliminated first... But I haven't figured out how to start?" Zhao Shu said: "The incident of Kong Mo and Kong is indeed suspicious. All signs indicate that the Zhang family usurped the position of Yan Shenggong. Yes, but we can't provide ironclad evidence!"

In fact, this matter is not complicated. If it is placed in later generations, compare the DNA of the Zhang family and the descendants of Kong Renyu, and the truth will be revealed immediately. The problem is that the Song Dynasty does not have this technology.

Moreover, more than a hundred years have passed, and it is not so easy to destroy the Kong family just because of some doubts.

Many people have the illusion that the emperor has unlimited power and can do whatever he wants. As long as he has the military and power, he can kill and kill at will. Whoever dares to block it will be called directly, and then the world will be peaceful.

That's not the case at all.

Take Wang Ning'an for example, his power is great enough!

He ordered in the name of the Political Affairs Hall that if the Kong family was abolished for no reason, the Censorate would reject it, and the other magistrates would not support it. They could directly complain to the emperor with the power to stay alone.

Of course, Zhao Shu would stand on the side of his master, but he would not be able to make any reason and could not implement it if he could not come up with enough reasons. Even with strong promotion, other bureaucrats would strongly oppose it.

You know, the officialdom is a huge machine, and no one else dares to say it, but they can do something privately. The simplest thing is to passively slacking off. Zhao Zhen was so tired in his early years.

Of course, you can also dismiss these passive and slacking off work, but the problem is that being an official is a very profound knowledge, and you can't just touch your head casually.

There were many people who wanted to be officials in the Song Dynasty, but there might not be many people.

This is why Wang Ning'an knows that some people are not the same as him and cannot change people casually. In addition to ability, he also needs to consider qualifications, people's expectations, and various complex relationships. In short, it is difficult to explain in three or five sentences.

Just like now, of course, he wanted to use the Kongmo Rebellion to completely abolish Yan Shenggong and kill chickens and scare monkeys.

But the trouble is that without ironclad evidence, someone will jump out and cause trouble. The censor will not agree, and the Shilin will not be able to say anything.

"I will report to Your Majesty, and Mr. Sima asked for your meeting."

Zhao Shu nodded immediately, "Let him come here."

Not long after, Sima Guang hurried over to greet Zhao Shu, and then smiled at Wang Ning'an and said, "The prince is here too. It just so happens that there is a volume of things here. Please check your Majesty and the prince."

As he said that, Sima Guang took out a yellowed file and placed it in front of him.

Wang Ning'an and Zhao Shu both came over and looked carefully.

It turns out that this file was actually from the Later Tang Dynasty, so it was difficult for Sima Guang to find it.

Wang Ning'an browsed quickly, and the more he looked, the more he became more surprised.

This file just records the story of Kong Renyu's accusation against Kong Mo.

The emperor at that time was Li Siyuan, and not many people knew him, and most of them knew him from "The Bad Man". You can tell everyone that apart from borrowing names, the bad man has no other relationship with history.

Li Siyuan was from Shatuo. He has fought wars since he was a child and has made many military achievements.

But he was a very rough man. When he was supported and ascended the throne, he didn't even know what the country name was.

Others advised him to change the country name and not call him Tang, but Li Siyuan said that he had always been a minister of the Tang Dynasty and later followed Li Cunxu for more than 20 years. If the country name was changed, where would the late emperor be placed!

Therefore, Li Siyuan used the Tang Dynasty as the name of the country, and was known in history as the Later Tang Dynasty.

With Li Siyuan's cultural level, of course he couldn't understand the affairs of the Kong family. At that time, the case broke out and Li Siyuan basically followed the opinions of Prime Minister Feng Dao.

Feng Dao is another strange person and a very worthy person to study.

The old guy was loyal to ten emperors in his life, and during this period he even gave the Liao Kingdom a minister. After reading this person's life, he learned most of the history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

He has served as prime minister for decades. No matter how the situation changes, he has remained firmly on Diaoyutai and remained unmoved.

Feng Dao was highly respected during his lifetime, but after his death, he was scolded by literati, saying that he was capricious and a complete villain!

Of course, the old man has been away for more than a hundred years, and Sima Guang has no intention of defending Feng Dao anything.

He only reminded Wang Ning'an that when Kong Renyu reported Kong Mo's case to the court, Feng Dao strongly supported Kong Renyu and sent people to investigate thoroughly. Finally, he determined that what Kong Renyu said was true and that Kong Mo was not a descendant of Confucius. Only then did Li Siyuan issue an order to kill Kong Mo, and grant Kong Renyu the position of Qufu County Magistrate and also grant him the title of Wenxuan Gong, and the Kong family revived.

According to the actual records in Sima Guang's hands, Feng Dao participated in this matter from beginning to end and actively made suggestions. Even Duke Wenxuan helped Feng Dao to help him.

But what is strange is that when the Kong family was narrating this history, they only mentioned the Zhang family's protection and protection, and never mentioned Feng Dao's help.

Perhaps the Kong family also felt that it was too embarrassing to get involved with a shameless old man, so they deliberately hid this part.

Sima Guang read the classics and history well and remembered them before he vaguely knew something. In fact, Feng Dao is still a good person. The old guy is a person who suffers from big festivals, has good small things, and is very interesting.

Sima Guang, based on his memory, found this passage.

"Your Majesty, Master, please see, Feng Dao is basically not talking much under Li Siyuan's hands. Only when the emperor consults him can he talk about something... Only Feng Dao strives for this matter in the Kong family, and keeps making suggestions... It's really strange!"

Wang Ningan smiled slightly. He knew Sima Guang so well. He found this from the old papers and tied the Kong family and Feng Dao together. If there was no article, it would be strange!

"Jun Shi, what do you think? Will Feng Dao work for Kong Renyu for nothing? Or is it just to uphold justice?"

Sima Guang felt a hint of cunning in the teacher's eyes, and it seemed that he could not deceive the teacher with such a trick.

"I have asked someone to go to Hejian Mansion to inquire with Feng Dao's descendants, and maybe some results may be possible."

Sima Guang's move will never fail.

Just five days later, someone brought a note from Feng Dao to the capital.

This was found in Feng Dao's notes. In the first year of Changxing in the Later Tang Dynasty, Feng Dao got a treasure, which was Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface!

This is the first running script in the ages. Feng Dao is also a literati and a top literati. He is very happy. In his notes, there is a saying, "Lu Di gives treasures, and Taizong is sleeping with a fake, and he is so sad!"

It turned out that Emperor Taizong of Tang liked Lanting Preface very much, and gave him copying of the close ministers and brought the real version to his death with him.

But according to Feng Dao, what Emperor Taizong of Tang actually got was a copy, and the real Lantingxu fell into the hands of the Kong family. In the Kong Mo Rebellion, Zhang brought this treasure back to the Zhang family.

Although Kong Mo was born to the Kong family, he did not know that Lantingxu existed.

He just killed Kong Renyu, but he never expected that seventeen years later, the Zhang family used Lantingxu to bribe Feng Dao and with Feng Dao's help, he defeated Kong Mo!

After reading Feng Dao’s notes, the king and his ministers breathed a sigh of relief!

Finally, the truth was revealed. Kong Renyu was definitely not a true descendant of the Confucius family. Otherwise, why did he use the treasure he passed down from ancestors to exchange for Feng Dao's help... But Feng Dao is so poor that he would do nothing to deceive the emperor and help fake Kong Renyu seize power for a treasure!

It seemed that in order to prove this story, the sent people found Lantingxu from Feng Dao's house and sent it to the capital.

After identification by Ouyang Xiu and others, it was unanimously agreed that this is the authentic product!

Let’s congratulate the emperor on winning the treasure.

Zhao Shu was of course very happy when facing the world's number one running script.

But he was so happy that he was not polite.

Zhao Shu immediately brought the ministers, and the little emperor was furious.

"My ministers now have the genealogy of the Zhang family, the notes of Feng Dao, and the records of the Later Tang Dynasty... All kinds of evidence prove that the true saint Miao descendants had died in the Kongmo Rebellion. Kongmo is fake, and the so-called Kong Renyu is not real. He is Zhang Lei, the son of the Zhang family! He impersonated and deceived the world, and actually obtained the title of Duke Wenxuan. It is especially hateful. They deceived the late emperor and were simply unforgivable!"
