Chapter 843, 844 The Wrath of the Son of Heaven!(1/2)
Kong Zhi led the heads of the twelve families to come to Kaifeng together soon reported to the news that the Special Inspection Bureau quickly came to report to Master Tang.
Before those people arrived in Kaifeng, Li Luo knew what they were going to do.
On September 15th, Kong Zhi and his party finally arrived at the city of Kaifeng.
Kong Zhi got out of the car, looked up at the majestic city wall, and sighed: "The towering beam is so majestic that I will return to the Han family today. I feel so comforted, and I feel so comforted."
The other heads of the family also pretended to sigh. Those who didn't know that they thought they were really loyal and righteous old men of the Han family. Who would have thought that these elegant and upright elders were all unqualified ministers who had been in office for the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty?
"The beam has arrived! Drive into the city!" The scholar of the Kong Mansion shouted loudly, and drove his carriage straight towards the city gate without fear. The pedestrians entering and leaving the city did not dare to look at each other, and dodged to both sides to give up a passage.
Some people even bowed to the carriage and called the teacher.
Kong Zhi bowed to a scholar wearing a simple shirt with a kind expression. The scholar was so scared that he quickly knelt down and said respectfully: "Student Wanyan Wentao, you have met the teacher."
Kaifeng City was once the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and there were still many people with the surname Wanyan. This Wanyan Wentao was just a poor scholar, but he knew the leader of the Kongting clan who came to Kaifeng many times.
In fact, Kong Zhi was both the priest of the Confucius Mansion and a famous scholar, and he also served as an official in Kaifeng. There were not many scholars who did not know him in Kaifeng.
"No need to be a polite, get up and talk." Kong Zhi smiled approachable, "I'll ask you, can the Emperor of Tang Dynasty be in the imperial palace in the city?"
Wanyan Wentao did not dare to neglect the answer: "Report to the commander, Your Majesty is in the palace. It is said that he will set off to Luoyang on the same day. It is not too late for the commander to come here."
Kong Zhi smiled and said, "There is no reason why the emperor is waiting for his ministers. Even if I come late, I can only rush to Luoyang to meet him."
Wanyan Wentao dared not say much, but just bowed his head and bowed. Now, Your Majesty has deposed the Duke of Kong Zhuyan for the crime of traitor. The situation of the Confucius Mansion is subtle, and no one knows what is waiting for the Confucius Mansion.
"Enter the city." Kong Zhi ordered with a smile.
However, they were obviously making a lot of noise at the city gate, but their group of people, a group of chariots and horses, were actually stopped by the soldiers at the city gate.
A Tang army was approaching and looked at the soldiers of the Kong Mansion coldly, "Who are you waiting for? You are not the Tang and Song army, or my Tang soldiers, why dare to wear iron armor? Do you want to rebel? Come and take it down!"
A pair of Tang soldiers wearing black armor rushed out of the city gate that had been prepared long ago, and surrounded the soldiers of the Kong Mansion with murderous intent.
"Take off the iron armor! Put down the sword and gun!"
"Bold! According to the Tang Dynasty's laws, private individuals are not allowed to use armor! Do you want to rebel?"
What? Kong Zhi and others were stunned.
What does this mean?
Could it be that these vulgar martial artists still don’t know their identities? How dare they?
But soon Kong Zhi understood that it was not because the gatekeeper did not know his identity, but because he did this on purpose.
This is the power of Tang Lord Li Luo!
It was embarrassing the Confucius Mansion in public!
Thinking of this, Kong Zhi was panicked and his face turned red due to shame and anger.
"Hmph." Ran Rong, the descendant of Ran You, snorted coldly, stepped forward, stood in front of the Tang army without fear, pointing at the soldiers of the Confucius Mansion, "Why are they not allowed to wear armor? Do you know who they are?"
The Tang army was cold and sarcastic on their faces, "Oh? Tell me, which family dares to raise armored soldiers under the rule of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Listen," Ran Rong said coldly, "They were guards of the Confucius Temple Cemetery set up by Emperor Xiaohuan of the Han Dynasty in the third year of Yuanjia, and they still ate military salaries from the court. They were qualified to wear strong and hold sharp edges. They have recognized them throughout the dynasties. Do you understand? Young men and men are not good enough to just dance with swords and guns, but they should read more."
"Hahaha! Since it is the cemetery guard, why did you come to Kaifeng? It's ridiculous!" The Tang army was laughing without hesitation. It was obviously a small team leader, but his momentum was no less than that of the Song army general.
"I don't study very much! But I have loyalty, courage and righteousness in my heart, know the debate between China and the barbarians, know the etiquette, righteousness and integrity! Although I am not gentle, I am not gentle and scumbag. Isn't I strong in fighting on the battlefield with swords and guns, and follow Your Majesty to recover Guanzhong and Central Plains. Isn't it better than the servile and servile Lord Yansheng, who forgot his ancestors!"
"Read more? Someone also wants to read it. They say that reading can understand the truth and know right and wrong. But if you read a group of traitors and corrupt scholars and a group of cowards and thieves, then you don't read this book!"
What?
The heads of the family looked at the team in disbelief and were so angry that they shivered all over.
How dare this person speak so loudly and bark against rebelliously?
Is this going to go against the sky?
What a courage.
The heads of the family all turned red and trembled, mostly because of anger and some because of shame.
Because they did surrender to the Mongol Yuan.
"Okay, what a traitorous and crazy soldier! You are very brave." Kong Zhi's face was extremely difficult to see, and he could no longer maintain his cultivation.
He pointed at the Tang army with his trembling fingers angrily, "Even Kublai Khan, I dare not give the Confucius Mansion three points of face. I will not argue with you like a rude and ignorant villain. When I have seen the emperor, I will see that you, a small official, cannot do it."
Unexpectedly, the team was sneering and did not take his threat seriously: "You are going to see Your Majesty, but they don't stop them-" He pointed to the armored soldiers of the Confucius Mansion, "You must be disarmed!"
With a wave of his hand, "Take it off! Take it off their armor and get off their weapons! The carriage is also detained!"
"No!" A group of fierce Tang soldiers rushed forward and disarmed the armed soldiers of the Kong Mansion in a few seconds.
"Okay!" Kong Zhi and others, who were angry and embarrassed, were so angry that they didn't know what to say except for saying yes.
If it is really a scholar who meets a comparison, it is hard to explain.
"Let's go! Enter the city!" Kong Zhi had no choice but to take Kong Ze and the twelve heads of the family to walk into the city.
They don’t believe it, Tang Lord Li Luo really dares to do anything to them!
In fact, they did not express their confidence because Li Luo was the Han emperor, so they were not afraid of being in a position. If it were the Mongolian Khan, they would not have the confidence at all.
This is a typical bullying of the weak and fearing the strong.
"I am Kong Zhi, the chief of the Kongting tribe, who entered the city to worship the emperor! He supported culture and education and asked for his orders for the people!" As soon as Kong Zhi entered the city, he said loudly.
"Support culture and education, and ask for the people!" The twelve heads and others also shouted.
However, what sets them apart is that although there are many onlookers, no one follows them. Not to mention the Bai Ding in the city, even the scholars did not join their team, they just bowed to each other by not far or near.
Kong Zhi's heart slowly sank.
This is the wrong direction.
Could it be that Lord Tang had already made arrangements waiting for him to fall into the trap?
It must be because he was overly worried. After all, Li Luo is a Han Chinese. He can't do anything to him and others. Do he still want to have a good reputation?
Thinking of this, Kong Zhi felt much more panic.
"My teacher, Kong Zhi, the chief of the Kongting clan, pleads for your visit!" Kong Zhi came to the palace with a familiarity and worshipped the palace with great tribute, and everyone else knelt down.
"Wait!" The soldiers at the gate of the palace glanced at them coldly, then went inside to report to the guards, and the guards reported to Li Luo again.
Li Luo immediately ordered the palace to be promoted to the imperial gate outside the Chuigong Hall to follow the government. He ordered the five-rank civil and military officials and famous Kaifeng to join the palace to participate.
In fact, everything was ready, just waiting for Kong Zhi and others to come.
"Dongdongdongdong--"
As soon as the bell in the palace rang, the civil and military officials who had been on standby in the side hall, as well as the famous Kaifeng people, entered the Chuigong Hall one by one, shouting long live the mountain.
There were dozens of Kaifeng famous scholars who attended the court meeting. This was their first time in court. Although they were excited, they couldn't be happy.
Because they already know what this court will mean.
Li Luo was wearing a black Shu brocade dragon robe and a squid head. He was completely dressed up in a daily manner and didn't even wear a Tianguan suit, which looked very casual.
Since ancient times, the emperor summoned the head of the Kong family in the hall and would not wear it so casually.
"Report to your Majesty, the leader of the Kong Ting clan, the head of the Meng clan, the head of the Zeng clan, all of them are outside the palace and ask for an order!" Guard Yang Ju reported.
"Passing in!" Li Luo said lightly, his joy and anger were not reflected.
King Wei, standing first in the civil servants, looked at the emperor's face carefully and couldn't help but feel nervous.
The emperor is afraid he won't be good this time.
However, the emperor's holy heart is as deep as the sea, and no one knows what he will do.
Dozens of Kaifeng famous scholars were also uneasy.
Your Majesty, won’t you kill Kong Zhi and others, right?
Your Majesty restored the Central Plains to the posture of a saint, but if the Confucius Mansion bleeds, it may ruin its reputation.
At a moment, Kong Zhi and fourteen other people entered the hall one after another, then meticulously tidy up and gave a respectful worship.
"My minister, Kong Zhi, the chief of the Kongting tribe of Qufu, pay homage to the emperor! The emperor is in charge of heaven! The golden cup of the Tang Dynasty will be forever!" Kong Zhi took the lead to bowing down the mountain and shouting, dancing, worshiping, dancing again, and dancing again. There is no problem with etiquette.
Even their pilgrimage is different from others. It is not long live, but the meaning is with the response of destiny. It is the title, it is also the emperor, not the emperor.
This set not only shows its uniqueness, but also deliberately connects the emperor with "Heaven".
"Flat." Li Luo's voice came calmly and peacefully,
"I, thank the emperor." Kong Zhi and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The Emperor of Tang looked very young, but the appearance of the sun was like a dragon and phoenix, and he had a great emperor's demeanor. He didn't look like an unreasonable tyrant.
"Kong Zhi, what's the matter when you come to see me this time?" Li Luo said knowingly, his voice with a sense of high scrutiny, sounded plain, but with unconcealed pressure.
Kong Zhu, a big man who had to shake his feet in Qilu, felt only a sense of insignificance and humility that was undepressing.
Before seeing Li Luo, he always thought that he could face Li Luo without being humble or arrogant, and be polite. However, when he saw Li Luo, he could not stand up straight no matter what, and he did not even dare to look up.
It is a heart that thinks he can see through the worldly feelings, and he can't help but thump.
