Among the remaining people, Cao Huachun mainly observes and studies in the Supervisor of Ceremonies. With the power of the Supervisor of Ceremonies weakened, he does not have much to do. Tian Ergeng is the intelligence chief, and he usually faces Zhu Youdong.

It's a routine report.

Zhang Shize is in charge of publicity work.

"Your Highness, when will we attack the Kong family in Qufu?"

"What, you can't hold it in any longer?"

"How can you bear it, Your Highness! In order to conduct in-depth reporting on last year's census, I personally traveled to several places with the census team. This Qufu... tsk tsk tsk, the entire fertile land in Qufu was almost completely occupied by the Kong family.

Not to mention that all the neighboring counties were not spared. Moreover, the methods used by the Kong family to expand their land...are simply no different from bandits and they are unabashed! Your Highness, please do a population census.

Kong family, although your newspaper will try its best to suppress other voices, at least in Shandong, especially in the Qufu area, the people will not have any confidence in His Highness! On the contrary, they will only look down on His Highness!"

The Confucius family in Qufu mentioned by Zhang Shize is of course the descendants of the sage Kong. During the Northern Song Dynasty, this family was named Yanshenggong. After that, all dynasties recognized this title and continued to grant various privileges. This made

This family continued to grow. By the Ming Dynasty, Duke Yansheng was known as the head of civil servants, and became the spiritual totem of Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty, which had a morbid atmosphere of moral governance!

However, as a time traveler, Zhu Youdong always has three words for Yan Shenggong's family: look down on!

In the Northern Song Dynasty, your family was granted the title of Duke Yansheng. As a result, the Jin people came and you surrendered the gold (at this time, some descendants of the Kong family followed the Zhao family to the south and were named Nanzong). When the Mongols came, you surrendered the Yuan Dynasty (Southern Dynasty).

In order not to be a traitor, Zong voluntarily gave up the fight for the title of Yanshenggong and never returned to Qufu). During the Mongolian attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, your family head actually took the initiative to join the army and follow the Mongolian Khan to conquer the 'Southern Barbarians'...

.On the basis of history, you took the lead in shaving your hair when the Qing Dynasty came, you rushed to send congratulations on Yuan Shikai's restoration, and you sent congratulatory messages when Wang Jingwei voted for Japan to form the "Pseudo Republic of China"...

In today's Ming Dynasty, the so-called Duke's Palace of these guys is as luxurious as or even exceeds the imperial palace. Even the area of ​​the palace is not much different from that of the imperial palace. As for how much land the Kong family holds and how many hidden houses there are,

In fact, no one knows!

The 200,000 acres of land in Licorice Country's hometown is the largest registered landowner, but compared with this family, it is somewhat dwarfed.

If a country, a nation, regards such a shameless, greedy, hypocritical family as a spiritual totem, then what is the national spirit of this country?

Zhang Shize, who was in charge of publicity, keenly discovered the connections and problems here. Then, he became a pioneer in calling for rectification of the Kong family.

"Your Highness, I understand that the Confucius family was spared during the census. Who made the Confucius family deeply tied to the stability of the Ming Dynasty?

But! The whole of Qufu and even Shandong is well aware of the notoriety of the Kong family. Even among the scholars in the world, there are probably not many who don’t know the notoriety of the Kong family. This creates a paradox. Everyone knows that the Kong family is shameless.

To the extreme, what they do on weekdays is completely the behavior of village bandits and bullies. But they say that Yan Shenggong's family is famous all over the world... Doesn't this force all the scholars in the Ming Dynasty to become hypocrites? In this way,

How can a country have loyal ministers? How can there be warriors who die for the country? How can there be good officials with both ability and political integrity?

In short, it is okay to let the Kong family go for the time being. But the rectification of the Kong family must be carried out as soon as possible. And this time it must be uprooted and eradicated! Otherwise, there is something wrong with the spirit of the country. No matter how much money His Highness earns, under the system

No matter how many improvements we make, we can't reverse the decline of our Ming Dynasty!"

"What you said makes sense." After pondering for a long time, Zhu Youdong said: "I have been busy with people, money, and military matters. I have indeed thought less about the national spiritual sustenance. However, moving

If the Kong family is not careful, the earth will shake."

"Your Highness, if you dig out the Confucius family, we will definitely still have a lot of hypocrites in the future of the Ming Dynasty. But if we don't move the Confucius family, our Ming Dynasty will continue to produce a large number of hypocrites every year as Jinshi!"

"...Okay, so, do you have any plans?"

"I have been preparing for this for more than half a year. Now I have a lot of evidence of the Confucian government occupying and forcibly seizing private land, and the relevant officials have quietly gathered together and protected it. In addition, the Confucian government can operate on its own in Qufu.

The appointment of low-level officials, prison chiefs and others are all members of the Kong family. There are simply too many unjust, false and wrong cases here, and I have already obtained a large amount of real materials..."

"Then what? Are you going to rush forward with these things?"

"Otherwise? Your Highness?"

"Hey, Mr. Yuan is not around, I am really tired." Of course, I just thought about this in my heart, and it would be too hurtful to say it in front of Zhang Shize.

"Broadside, this is not possible. After all, officials all over the country are doing this by seizing fertile land and oppressing the people. This alone will only make everyone think that the Kong family is the same as us, and it will only protect the Kong family to death.

.Hey, let’s do this, you can become a tomb robber first.”

"Ah? Your Highness, what does this mean?"

What Zhu Youdong means can be divided into several steps.

First of all, during the Qin Shihuang period, there were people who burned books to enslave Confucian scholars. So, are there any differences in content between the Confucian classics of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and today’s Four Books and Five Classics? Is their core meaning also different? There certainly is.

If Zhang Shize had obtained the original Confucian classics that had survived from the Pre-Qin period or the Western Han Dynasty, he could start a nationwide discussion on Confucian classics.

As for where to find such "original" classics, this is not a problem for Zhu Youdong. Before traveling through time, he had been to several famous Qin bamboo slips and museums built on the land where Han bamboo slips were found.

However, this is the Ming Dynasty, and there are tomb robbers who rob the tombs of princes and nobles of all dynasties. But it is not possible to dig up these large tombs openly and conduct scientific archeology in the name of the official. Therefore, Zhang Shize can only

To be a tomb robber.

"Here," Zhu Youdong pointed on the map: "Outside Linyi City, Shandong Province, there is a mountain called Yinque Mountain. Its southwest foot has always been regarded as a geomantic treasure. Since the Qi State at that time, noble people have rested there. You

It would be best to ask two good Feng Shui masters to open the tombs by dividing the money and fixing the holes. If my prediction is correct, there will be a large number of bamboo slips in these tombs, and the contents inside are priceless.

There is also a Qin tomb here in Huguang, Yunmeng County, Suihudi. This tomb should contain a large number of Qin laws.

Finally, and most importantly, there is a large tomb from the Pre-Han Dynasty in Beizhili, Dingxian, and Bajiaokuo Village, which contains at least three versions of the Analects. Fortunately, Fangshan Medical Laboratory has now produced

There is a way to preserve these bamboo slips using formaldehyde solution. Hmm? Shize, why are you staring at me like that?"

"Your Highness." Zhang Shize put his hand under Zhu Youdong's nostrils very rudely but naturally. After confirming that the breath coming out was hot, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, are you really the reincarnation of a blue dragon and know everything?
