Chapter 230 Order the descendants of the saints to kneel down and kill Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi!
Kong Zhen immediately froze in place.
Zhang Gui smiled lightly.
"Bring Kong Xingxie here!"
"yes!"
In this era, news dissemination is not as convenient as later generations. Kong Xingxie, the son of Kong Yinzhi, did not know that Zhang Gui had already arrived in Jinan and was stationed in the governor's office in Shandong.
That's why Kong Xingxie boldly came to Shandong Governor's Yamen with the letter that the rebels asked Kong Yinzhi to write to Kong Zhenshi, a pro-surrender.
As a result, Kong Xingxie was caught by the officers and soldiers under Zhang Gui's command.
Before Kong Xingxie was brought to the hall where Zhang Gui was discussing with various civil and military officials in Shandong, Zhang Gui glanced at Kong Zhenshi and asked, "Kong Zhongcheng, what did the governor say? Come to recognize who is the owner of the bitch?"
Kong Zhenshi lowered his head, feeling ashamed.
"Master Zhang, I plan to write a memorial to the imperial court to play Mingyan Shenggong's defection to the enemy, and in the letter, he scolded the emperor and praised the words of the rebels!"
"Please ask the imperial court to remove his post, and in order to avoid future events where the descendants of saints lose their face in the whole world because of their servile faces, please abolish the Duke of Yansheng forever. Seal it again!"
Zhang Gui gave orders at this time.
Zhang Guowei, the head of the Ministry of War Zanhua who accompanied him, stood up and said yes.
The head of Zanhua of the Ministry of War is equivalent to the staff of later generations, and he is dedicated to doing related confidential affairs for Zhang Gui, the supervisor.
This existed in the Wanli period.
It's just that after the Ming Dynasty increased the staff of military and political officials, it also added a lot of officials in charge of Zanhua.
Now Zhang Gui has quite a few art critics around him, and the most powerful one is this one named Zhang Guowei.
Less gossip.
Kong Zhenshi heard that Zhang Gui wanted to write a report to report the matter, and also asked the court to abolish the title of Duke Yansheng forever. This is undoubtedly to expose Kong Yinzhi's shameless behavior to the world and win the glory of the Northern Zong Kong family forever.
Therefore, Kong Zhenshi immediately bowed his hands and said: "Supervisor, let me tell you! I beg the supervisor not to report this matter, but to save some dignity for the saint. If so, I will be the same as the disciples of the Confucius family and the scholars of the world." Thank you very much, Master!"
Kong Zhenshi also knew that internal ugliness should not be publicized. If the whole world really wants to know that Kong Yinzhi surrendered to the enemy and treason, it will undoubtedly shake the sense of respect for the sage's family, and even have a sense of contempt for the entire Confucianism.
"no!"
Zhang Gui rejected Kong Zhenshi straightforwardly.
Then, Zhang Gui said again: "As soon as the governor came, you, Kong Zhongcheng, showed the governor an attitude that he didn't want to see people who mess up the government in the court! Why are you messing up the government again now!"
As he said that, Zhang Gui shouted and asked: "Don't report the truth to the emperor, but choose to conceal it. Do you, Kong Zhenshi, want this governor to mess up the government?!"
"Official!"
Kong Zhenshi didn't know how to answer for a while, her face turned red!
"Report! Kong Xingxie is here!"
At this time, Huang Degong came over.
Kong Xingxie was also escorted over.
"Kneel down!"
Zhang Gui also let out a loud drink.
At this time, Kong Xingxie, who was still a little young and energetic, straightened his chest and said: "I am a descendant of a saint, the son of the Gong family! How can I kneel down!"
boom!
Huang Degong kicked Kong Xingxie's knee.
Kong Xingxie let out a cry of pain, his knees softened, and he knelt directly in front of Zhang Gui.
Zhang Gui said in a cold voice: "The traitors who defected to the enemy and the emperor dare to put on airs in front of the governor! Do you think the governor will respect you, the descendant of the Tartars?!"
Kong Xingxie realized something was wrong, and quickly kowtowed: "Excuse me!"
Boom!
Kong Zhenshi did not know when he rushed up to Kong Xingxie, facing Kong Xingxie with both feet: "You bastards! As direct descendants of the Kong family of Beizong, how can you surrender to the enemy and treason! And shame the saint!"
Kong Zhenshi took a few steps back after venting, then pointed at Kong Xingxie and said, "You should be martyred, you should be martyred!"
"Quiet!"
Zhang Gui scolded, then looked at Kong Xingxie, and asked, "Kong Xingxie, do you want the court to deal with your defection to the enemy and the emperor lightly?"
"Naturally."
Kong Xingxie replied.
Zhang Guidao: "Then you should submit a self-report, and the governor will send your memorandum and the memorandum to the imperial court together. And you have to write down your respect for your father and the whole body in the self-report. How regretful you were for your family’s defection to the enemy and treason, and asked the emperor to abolish your Beizong Kong Yansheng Duke forever. At that time, His Majesty will deal with you lightly after seeing your memorial.”
As he spoke, Zhang Gui yelled: "Otherwise, this supervisor can cut you into pieces!"
"I will write! I will write!"
Kong Xingxie was so frightened that he agreed without thinking too much.
"you!"
Kong Zhenshi glared at Kong Xingxie angrily, then looked at Zhang Gui, and cried out, "Master, you can't! Some things should be concealed when you can! This is not a disorder of government, it is for the sake of the people of the world so that there will be no chaos. !"
"Bastard! How dare you, Kong Zhenshi, instigate this supervisor to deceive the king!"
Zhang Gui shouted loudly, and then ordered: "Come here, please ask the king to order the flag card, drag Kong Zhenshi out and behead him!"
"Wait a minute, supervisor!"
Seeing this, Li Guangguang, the inspector of Shandong Province, hurriedly stood up and said: "Kong Zhongcheng was just confused for a while, please forgive me. The supervisor is naturally not a person who messed up the government, and we are not the ministers who messed with the government. The following official sees it, and he is not the same as the supervisor. It is better for one person to go to the Shu, and I, Shandong civil and military, to jointly go to the Shu, to declare this matter, and to ask the emperor to abolish the title of Duke Yansheng forever, so that the people of the world will undoubtedly be more convinced."
"That's a good suggestion!"
Zhang Gui replied with a smile, and then said: "As Li Fengxian said, everyone will join the school together. But who is not willing?"
Kong Zhenshi looked at Li Guangguang: "Li Fengxian, are you still a disciple of Confucius?!"
"Why, Kong Zhongcheng is still unwilling?"
Zhang Gui asked a question, then slapped the desk: "Then drag it out and chop it up!"
"No! I am willing!"
Kong Zhen replied in a hurry, and replied with a puckered mouth.
Zhang Gui looked at other Shandong officials again.
All civil and military officials in Shandong replied: "I am willing!"
Zhang Gui nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good! Put Kong Xingxie in the prison van for the time being, and wait for the imperial court's decree to deal with it!"
"yes!"
Next, Zhang Gui continued to lead his army south to Qufu after discussing how to suppress the rebellion among the civil and military forces in Shandong.
And Qufu at this time.
Kong Yinzhi had already accompanied Li Laiheng to the Confucian Temple after kneeling to welcome the surrender to the so-called rebel Li Laiheng.
As soon as Li Laiheng came to the Confucian Temple, he told Kong Yinzhi: "Call all the adult males in your family!"
Kong Yinzhi hurriedly agreed, and immediately complied.
Not long after, all the adult males from the clan of Yanshenggong Mansion came here.
At this time, Li Laiheng suddenly took out Kong Yinzhi's surrender form, and ordered: "You Kong family all kneel down!"
Kong Yinzhi hurriedly led the clansmen to kneel down.
Li Laiheng laughed when he saw this: "You are really obedient, if I ask you to kneel, kneel."
Kong Yinzhi smiled flatteringly: "The commander-in-chief is the master who created the prosperous and peaceful world. We, the descendants of saints, should be the first to obey."
Li Laiheng put away his smile: "But I'm not as obedient as you! Because I'm not the one who created the prosperous and peaceful world! Tell me, is today's emperor a fool?"
Kong Yinzhi was stunned for a while, but he didn't react for a while, so he subconsciously said: "Naturally, he is a foolish king!"
Puff!
Li Laiheng stabbed Kong Yinzhi directly into the chest.
