Chapter 503: If you don't accept it, go and sue Lao Tzu (two in one)
Qufu, Yansheng Gongfu.
Kong Yanzhi has been a little melancholy recently, not because of the wailing of the land of Qilu, but because of the recent land division policy of the imperial court.
The Confucian family has been sixty-four generations since the succession of the Holy Father to his generation, and every time a new monarch ascends the throne in the past thousand years, he will be rewarded with the Confucian family, even if the change of dynasty has no impact on his Confucian family.
After many generations and many years, two-thirds of the fertile land in Qufu is the property of his Confucian family, and Qufu has become synonymous with his Confucian family.
Qufu is the Confucian family, and the Confucian family is Qufu.
However, with a decree from the imperial court, the Kong family's land was taken back!
Oh, my God! This is not only rewarded by the Ming court, up to the two Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin, the Two Song Dynasty, and the Great Yuan......
Why? Kong Yanzhi just wanted to ask the imperial court, have you forgotten where the sage books you read and the talents of the world come from?
A few days ago, the imperial court sent officials to the Confucian family to check the land deed, and the household officials wanted to be accommodating and leave more fertile land for his Confucian family, but a Dongchang eunuch who accompanied him only snorted coldly, and the official did not dare to say anything.
"Dad, Thirteen Niang is crying again, go and take a look." A middle-aged man hurriedly walked and wanted to go out after speaking.
"Well, I see, where are you going? You're going to fool around with those bastards again? Go back to the old man! Kong Yanzhi yelled at his eldest son, and walked towards the inner courtyard regardless of it.
The Confucian family has experienced so many changes in the past thousand years, and he believes that it will not be long before the rewards of the imperial court will follow, and it will not take a few generations for the Confucian family to still be the symbol of Qufu.
It's just that his thirteenth concubine has become more and more unpleasant recently because he is pregnant.
This little concubine is the fourth daughter of the Lingbi Hou Tang family, and it was estimated that his maiden family was before, but now that the surname Tang has been demoted to the common people, he still dares to make the Kong family chickens fly and dogs jump, which is really unreasonable!
Kong Yanzhi walked through several corridors, and then passed the Zhongfu Garden and an alley, along the way the servants of the Confucian Mansion did not dare to say anything when they saw that his face was unhappy, and before he reached the inner courtyard, Kong Yanzhi heard the crying in the meantime.
"Crying out for what? Look at you, it's getting worse and worse, it's really a shame for my Kong family! "In the end, it is old, Kong Yanzhi walked for a long time, and pointed to a woman who looked only twenty in the inner room and scolded.
"Master, the concubine's father wrote a few days ago that the family will not be able to open the pot, the concubine is upset, you have a lot of connections in the court, please save the Tang family!" The woman was not angry when she was scolded by Kong Yanzhi, but got up with her bulging belly and continued to beg.
"Isn't the husband already moving around, don't make any more trouble, be careful of the fetal gas." Although Kong Yanzhi was angry on his face, he still couldn't hold back the begging of this goblin-like woman.
He married thirteen concubines, all of whom were beautiful women, but the old and wooden ones, only the Lingbi Hou family's room was the most popular with him, but the only drawback was that he had a little bit of a small temperament.
It's just that in today's situation, he is just this little concubine, most of the old ministers who were friends before the turmoil in the court have been raided, and the rest of them are all difficult to protect themselves, where is there time to take care of the foreign affairs of his Kong family.
"Come on, go to the treasury and take another 5,000 taels of silver and send it to the Tang family." Kong Yanzhi felt guilty in his heart, and helped the thirteen concubines the size of his granddaughter to walk along the way.
Five thousand taels of silver is enough for a family to eat for a lifetime, even if it is a large family, it is enough for a year or two, but this Tang family is too able to spend, and the three thousand taels sent last month were only less than a month, and they were all lost again.
Although this silver is only a drop in the bucket for his Kong family, it can't stand to be squandered like this all the time.
"Master, there are many officers and soldiers outside, and there is a man who claims to be the prince...... It's a bit unkind for you to go and greet you. A maid rushed in and did not bother to salute.
"What's the panic? Where did the prince come from, who dared to come to Kong's house to spread wild? Kong Yanzhi said casually.
Although Yan Shenggong is the prince of the country, the symbolism in the Ming Dynasty is extraordinary, and the prince of the Ming Dynasty has no authority, and he is not all smiling when he sees him, even if he visits, he has to queue up.
Where did this prince come from, he dared to bring troops to see the old man, Kong Yanzhi's mind was racing, and then he thought of something.
"Returning to the master, it is the king of the country." I didn't expect this maid to be able to answer, but Liu Hong is too famous in Shandong.
Sure enough, Kong Yanzhi's face sank when he heard this, and he could think of what happened when the king of Anguo County led his troops to the door with his toes.
Recently, the rice and grain in the surrounding gentry families were all carried away by the king of Anguo County, but he never expected that this prince would dare to hit his Kong family with his idea.
If he really doesn't know the height of the sky, isn't he afraid that he will be poked in the backbone by the world's scholars?
"Kong Lianshun, quickly go and gather Ding Zhuang in the front yard." Kong Yanzhi gave the order arrogantly, and he also followed, leaving only the concubine of the Tang family who got five thousand taels of silver and was full of joy.
……
"My lord, it seems that this Kong Yanzhi doesn't dare to open this door, or else, he will smash this door by someone who is lowly and orderly?" Wu Binghao, the general of the 3,000 battalion, stood behind Liu Hongjian and waited left and right to greet him, and he felt a little impatient.
When he was a child, he experienced being forced into debts by landlords, and he did not have a good impression of these big landlords.
He doesn't care what the name of this family is, anyway, the sky is falling and the prince is on top of it, as long as Liu Hong gradually gives an order, there is no need for the group of boys in the personal guard camp to do it, only he, a thousand Beijing battalion soldiers, can tear down this Confucian Mansion to the bottom.
"Shut your beak!" Liu Hong gradually turned around and said, this kid who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
Squeak - The vermilion gate of the Kong family was pulled open from the inside, and Kong Yanzhi walked out of it, followed by seven or eight sturdy family members.
"The king of Anguo County is here, and the old man Kong Yanzhi is not welcome." Kong Yanzhi stepped forward with a smile on his face and bowed his hand, although he knew that this evil star was not good, but as a descendant of the Kong family, there should still be etiquette.
"It's okay, it's okay, this king is also uninvited, you are the contemporary Yan Shenggong?" Liu Hong gradually got off the horse, but when he saw an old man who had made a fortune, he was immediately a little disappointed.
Where is there a half-cent legacy of the old master, who is clearly a rich and rich man who is a philistine.
"It's here, I don't know what the king of Anguo is doing here?" Kong Yanzhi is neither humble nor arrogant, and the Confucian family still has more than a thousand years of prestige, which is his confidence.
"I have heard that the Sage of Confucius adheres to the rule of benevolence and righteousness, and if there is a disaster in the Quartet, he will help each other, and now the natural disasters in various parts of the mountain are not only the people starving all over the land, but the descendants of the Sage of Confucius, as the descendants of the Sage Confucius, will not sit idly by.
To tell the truth, this king came this time in the hope that Master Kong could open a warehouse and release grain to save the suffering people who were dying on the verge of starvation. ”
After all, he has the name of Sage Kong, and Liu Hongjian also bowed and explained the reason clearly.
"Back to the prince, if it is not the Confucian family, it is now a year of natural disasters, and the servants of the Confucian family have eaten a lot of money, and there is no surplus food to help the people."
Kong Yanzhi had already thought of his rhetoric, and he was still neither humble nor arrogant, but he wanted to see what tricks this young man who had been deified by outsiders dared to play.
"Oh, there's no food in stock!" Liu Hong gradually spoke lightly and did not get angry.
"Back to the prince, it is true, and the old man is very guilty in his heart." Kong Yanzhi made a sad look on his face.
"The king doesn't believe it, unless you ask the king to search for it." The corners of Liu Hong's mouth gradually raised, the etiquette has been exhausted, since it doesn't work, don't blame this king for saluting first and then soldiering.
"Does the prince know where this is?" Kong Yanzhi pointed to the plaque behind him, which was given by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
"Thank you for reminding, this king is still literate, what are you doing in a daze, Chang Yu, send troops to search!" Where does Liu Hongjian have time to play Tai Chi with this landlord, he has only one goal, food!
"You dare! All dynasties have treated my Confucian family well, do you dare to disobey Your Majesty? Kong Yanzhi was furious and stretched out his hand to stop at the gate.
"Would rather watch the people starve to death than take out moldy grain, is this the benevolence of your Kong family?
Your Majesty said before that a noble who has raised 300 meters of peace is better than a pig that has been raised for 300 years, what do you think?
Set this old thing aside! Liu Hong gradually yelled.
Chang Yu didn't hesitate anymore, and then rushed into the Confucian Mansion with hundreds of personal guard battalions, Liu Hu, who was nearly two meters tall, sandwiched Kong Yanzhi like a big fat monkey, even if this guy's beard was crooked, he couldn't break free from Liu Hu's arms.
"Kong Lianshun, stop this group of robbers for me!" Kong Yanzhi yelled at the family in the Confucian Mansion.
The Confucian Mansion covers an extremely wide area, is the largest building group except the Ming Imperial Palace, there are thousands of houses, nearly 10,000 direct families, side branches, slaves, and there are five or six hundred people in the courtyard alone, which is the confidence of the Confucian family.
It's just that these arrogant and domineering family members still have the strength to deal with some ruffians and bitter tenants, and the faces of the soldiers who rushed in with real knives and guns immediately showed timidity.
Especially the group of people in the Beijing camp, they were all spelled out from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and their eyes were red when they saw the blood, and as soon as Wu Binghao's war knife was pulled out, Kong Lianshun's legs were fluttering.
"Still stunned, stop this group of robbers, the old man will reward a thousand taels of silver!" Kong Yanzhi knew that Liu Hong didn't dare to do anything to him, but his face was red when he was held up by the reckless man behind him.
"Noise!" Liu Hong gradually turned around and said, and the bull mallet stepped forward and pointed at the back of Kong Yanzhi's head, and there was no movement immediately.
"Daddy, you guys...... You are bold, how can the Holy Land of the Confucian Family be touched by you stinky soldiers, I am going to the capital to seek revenge from Your Majesty! ”
Kong Yanzhi's eldest son, Kong Xingxie, saw that his father was treated like this, and came angrily, but was pressed to the ground by the two big-headed soldiers and ate a mouthful of mud.
Liu Hong gradually ignored the angry middle-aged man, walked to the courtyard and found a pavilion to sit down.
He knew that for thousands of years, whenever a foreign invasion occurred, the descendant of Confucius, Yan Shenggong, was always the first to claim the title of vassal.
He also knew that without his existence, Kong Yanzhi, the sixty-fourth generation of Yan Shenggong who was canonized by Chongzhen, would have written to the minister the day after the mite Qing Tartar entered the customs.
And in the "First Entry Table", he praised the Manchu monarchs as "inheriting the heavens and the imperial pole, and appending the people with virtue", "the six universes jointly wear the gods", "the holy emperor of the eight wildernesses", "the mountains and rivers and the sun and the moon", and "the same person of the national ancestor, Han and Yong".
He also sincerely claimed that "the ministers are Que Li Confucian, Zhang Jian is at the end of the end, he inherits the grace of the Liedai, and now celebrates the prosperity of the new dynasty, and the loftiness of learning, and tends to be afraid of the future".
Tens of millions of Han Chinese were trampled by iron horses, enslaved and killed, with rivers of blood and bones all over the field.
Your Confucian family enjoys the praise of the Han people, and has such a great prestige, that for thousands of years, no "descendants of the Holy Gate" have been able to stand up and organize the people to raise "volunteers" to resist foreign invasions.
No matter how bad it is, even if it is to follow the small court of Nanming, it is more benevolent and righteous than to kneel and lick the captives.
Mites Qing entered the customs like this, and even more so when Menggu invaded the two Song Dynasty, thinking of this, Liu Hong gradually became angry, and he really wanted to kill this guy directly.
The soldiers of the Beijing camp with loaded guns were just like the Confucian Mansion, and hundreds of Confucian Mansions were wilted, and the sticks were taken away by the soldiers, and they squatted in the corner of the wall with their heads in their hands and shivered.
Not long ago, Yu came to report that in the backyard of the backyard of the Confucian Mansion, one or two dozen huge granaries were found.
Liu Hongjian only shouted one word, move!
There are thousands of displaced people who follow Liu Hong's growing army, and Rao is so the brothers of the Beijing battalion soldiers also started, and there is too much food.
The Qufu County Government was gradually requisitioned by Liu Hong, and it took more than two hours to bring all the ox carts and carriages that could pull things in Qufu County, and the grain transportation teams from Confucius to the county government were endless.
In the end, after statistics, the grain pulled out of the Kong family was more than 48,000 stones, which shocked the whole army!
After the grain was transported, Liu Hong gradually released Kong Yanzhi and Kong Xingxie, Kong Yanzhi woke up with straight eyes, but the family members he raised were depressed one by one, knowing that the matter was irreparable.
"Lord Wang, the old man remembers that you have issued an IOU for the collection of grain, why don't you have it from the old man's family?" Kong Yanzhi walked up to Liu Hongjian again and said angrily.
Now, the only way to recover some losses is to recover as much as possible, more than 40,000 stone of grain, which the Kong family has saved for several years, and only two taels of silver are worth at least 100,000 taels.
"This king said that Confucius was benevolent and righteous all his life, and it was within his duty to save the victims, how could he talk about the copper smell of silver, this is a righteous act, and this king is doing good for Confucius.
So, no IOUs! Liu Hong gradually sneered in his heart, this old thing is really a money fan.
"You...... The old man will enter the capital tomorrow to face the saint, expose your banditry in front of His Majesty, and do the sword and soldier in the holy land of the Confucian family, you wait, the world's scholars will make you pay! ”
Kong Yanzhi was furious and walked towards the inner courtyard with his sleeves brushed up.
"Complaint? Whatever you want! provoked this king, and let your Kong family in the Ming Dynasty! Liu Hong gradually pointed at Kong Yanzhi and said.
A family, the courtyard is comparable to the Ming Palace, this is the pass, how many dirty things have your Kong family done over the years, and you still need words?
People in the world respect Confucius, not you, Kong Yanzhi
It was getting dark, Liu Hong gradually stopped staying for a long time, got up and left the Confucian Mansion, but just arrived at the Qufu County Ya, and there were already a few officials waiting here.
"Lord Qiqi, the dam in Shandong has been built, Lord Hong knows that the prince is in Shandong, and he specially ordered the official to invite the prince to watch the ceremony!"
