Although Kong Yuqi values brotherhood, but since he sat in this position, he is not only the eldest brother in this family, but the successor elected by the ancestors of the Confucian Mansion, his every move will be related to the survival of the Confucian Mansion, and now the Confucian Mansion has been inherited for more than a thousand years, if it is destroyed in his hands, he will not forgive himself no matter what.

So when Kong Yuyu revealed his identity, he first said this ugly thing in front, if Kong Yuyu continued to say it, I was afraid that it would hurt the brotherhood.

Kong Yuyu scratched his head, it has been so many years, the people of the Confucian Mansion have not changed at all, the most important thing in their eyes is always the few statues of gods enshrined in this hall, the few classics left by the ancestors, and the real spirit is not guarded by anyone.

When he was young, Kong Yuyu looked down on this kind of behavior, and now he finds it difficult for him to accept this behavior, but it will take some effort to convince the eldest brother who has inherited the family.

"Big brother, although I served in the court of the Ming Dynasty, but I have never violated the teachings of my ancestors, and now the Ming Dynasty has gathered an army to fight with the Zhou Dynasty in Shandong, and the war is all about life, blood is flowing like a river, with the status of the Confucian Mansion, no one will definitely offend the Confucian Mansion, and even the whole of Shandong is afraid that there will be this piece of pure land, but is this what you want?"

Saying that, Kong Yuyu stood up: "The ** of this hall is dedicated to the statue of the ancestor Confucius Sage, and next to it is the statue of the seventy-two disciples and the sages of Confucianism, which of these people has taught us to look at the world with a cold eye, and the prosperity of our Confucian Mansion for more than a thousand years has really carried forward the spirit of the sages, or has it emasculated the blood of this world?" ”

Kong Yuqi slammed the table: "Hugh is talking nonsense!" ”

His two younger brothers sitting next to him were a little ashamed, everyone was not stupid, they used to be able to hold their chests up because they could pretend to be confused, but now that this fig leaf has been removed, no one is embarrassed to straighten their chests with a thick face.

Kong Yuyu pouted: "Others don't know, don't you know?" Our grandfather was crowned the crown prince by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and enjoyed all the honors, Li Zicheng's anti-thief has not yet arrived in Beijing City, and the Confucian Mansion has handed over the book Shun Table, and later the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and the Confucian Mansion lowered his head again, and personally cut the braid and wiped it clean, and now the Ming Dynasty is going to return to the country, won't it settle accounts with us? ”

Kong Yuqi stood up abruptly and slammed the teacup in his hand on the ground: "Enough!" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Kong Yuyu: "Do you think that the ancestors and ancestors are all fools, do you understand what you are talking about?" Do you think that the founding emperors of all dynasties are fools, and you can't understand that the Confucian Mansion will not coexist with their country at all? They need us to help them prop up this Confucian façade, so no one will do anything to our Confucian Mansion! You can't even understand these and want to teach Confucius a lesson, it's ridiculous! ”

Kong Yuyu sneered: "Do you know this Ming Emperor? ”

"What did you say?"

"Burma is just adapting to the times, the difficulty of cursing the water killed dozens of ministers and hundreds of soldiers, our emperor personally took 800 people out of the country, and it took more than a year to kill the capital of Myanmar to the point of blood, and now Myanmar is still in turmoil. Since the recovery of the Ming Dynasty, every city has been killed, and all the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty who were officials in the Qing Dynasty have all been in the city, and finally they have been shown to the public! At the beginning, those Qing Dynasty Confucians in Sichuan and Shu joined forces against him, and they were all killed by him, and Mr. Tinglin Gu Yanwu brought people to Sichuan and Shu to change the situation. It is true that others do not dare to deal with the Confucian Mansion, but not His Majesty. ”

Kong Yuqi sneered: "He killed those people just because of the situation, he had to kill people to establish his authority, whether it was the brutal Jin people or the fierce Mongols, he didn't do anything to the Yansheng Mansion at the beginning, I don't believe he has the courage, when the time comes, it's a big deal to hand over the book and the table, and he will go down the steps, is it difficult to settle accounts with us?" ”

Kong Yuyu sighed: "Since the eldest brother insists on this, the foolish brother doesn't say a word, and he left the house after seeing his mother today, and he has nothing to do with the Confucian Mansion from now on, and he will not be able to hit the Confucian Mansion in the future, if the Confucian Mansion is to be liquidated in the future, the foolish brother will never say a word." ”

The meal of the brothers can be said to be aggrieved, everyone has something on their minds, comparable to the same bed and different dreams, the brotherhood in the early years has long been consumed by the irreversible situation in front of him, Kong Yuyu visited his mother, and left the house after serving in front of his mother's bed for three days.

Hearing the news of Kong Yuyu's departure, Kong Yuqi sighed, although he was furious, but he also had scruples in his heart, he had long heard that the Ming Emperor was a young man in his early twenties, people of this age are the most difficult to deal with, they are too lazy to weigh the pros and cons, and do things based on a momentary will, even if they lose both, they will not hesitate, if they are really against Confucius, I am afraid it will be a difficult matter.

You must know that in the past few decades, the mountains and rivers have been broken, Shenzhou has sunk, many Confucians have no longer regarded Confucius as a holy place, and even many of them are scolding them for receiving the emperor's favor but refusing to serve the country, which is completely contrary to Confucian thought, and the original Confucian method of dealing with this situation is to ignore it, and when these people are all dead, Confucius is still a sage's mansion, and no one will investigate what they have done before, and even under the deliberate propaganda of the imperial court, they will become a model of conforming to the mandate of heaven.

But no one thought that the Qing Dynasty would be so ill-fated, and was restored by the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty saw that there was no hope at all, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still barbarian in the eyes of those Confucians, and now if half of the world's Confucians stand up against them, I am afraid that the days will be very uncomfortable.

Looking at his embarrassed face, his second brother persuaded beside him: "We finally hated the Ming Dynasty at the beginning, and now the fourth brother is an official in the court, it is a good opportunity for us to set things right, why does the eldest brother refuse to agree?" ”

Kong Yuqi sighed: "Our Confucian Mansion can do a fictitious position like the crown prince, but if we really become the great scholars of the Ming Dynasty, what will the people of the Zhou Dynasty think of us?" When the time comes, it is not asking for hardship, and with the blessing of the ancestors and the sages, the new dynasty may not take what we do, and the family can be preserved. Besides, the fourth brother said it fiercely, and I am afraid that he will not stand by and watch at that time. ”

"But we have to do something, otherwise the fourth brother will not be a good person in the court."

"Can't do it, the fourth brother has the grace of nurturing the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even if he doesn't do anything, no one can touch him, I said that we must ensure the safety of the family, since we don't have to gamble on the future of the whole family, then don't paint a snake and add to it, and harm the lives of the family in vain."
