Chapter 558: Punishment from God(1/2)
After seeing Old Man Kong, Chen Xueying changed her previous dignity and stood up directly. She went over to help Old Man Kong who was about to kneel down and said, "Mr. Kong, please get up quickly."
"You are a descendant of Yan Shenggong, there is no need to pay such a courtesy to me!"
Old Man Kong just pretended to kneel down. As soon as Chen Xueying's hand touched him, Old Man Kong stood up.
The speed was so fast that an old man with a lot of gray hair and beard could hardly think of him.
Even a young man might not be as strong as him.
"Mr. Kong has helped our Holy Sect to bring about a great Ming Dynasty this time. If it weren't for your advice, our Holy Sect would have really missed this opportunity to overthrow the Ming Dynasty."
Old Man Kong felt as if he had drank a large glass of ice water in the dog days of summer, and his whole body felt refreshed.
This is right, this is the environment that the descendants of the Kong family are familiar with.
No matter how the world changes, no matter who is sitting in that position, they must be respectful to the Kong family.
Because only the descendants of the Confucius family are the most holy teachers, representing all scholars in the world and where the great righteousness lies.
Unlike Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han, two thugs with poor begging backgrounds, they have no idea what benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust are.
That bastard Zhu Han actually dared to write the contemporary Duke Yansheng into the "Records of Traitors". He was simply not a son of a man.
Old Man Kong actually doesn't like Chen Xueying very much.
After all, he is just one of Chen Youliang's dozens of sons, and he is not the particularly famous or talented one.
What's more important is that Chen Youliang originally took care of himself as the King of Han and did not have full recognition from the Confucius family.
In the eyes of the Kong family, this was nothing more than a rebellious and rebellious traitor.
Of course, the reason why they are so artificial.
The most critical thing is that Chen Youliang finally lost to Zhu Yuanzhang in the process of fighting for world hegemony.
If Chen Youliang wins, he will naturally become what the Kong family calls the hero who saves the people of the world.
And if Zhu Yuanzhang, who had won the world, had not done such a thing to the Kong family, he would naturally be respectful.
As for before, the entire Kong family worked for Meng Yuan...
That's just a gentleman dormant, waiting for the right time.
No, didn't they just wait for a wise emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang who expelled the Tartars and restored China?
It's a pity that the Kong family has been cleansed and is waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to enshrine them like the previous emperors.
Let them continue to do whatever they want in the name of Saint Kong, riding on the bodies of ordinary people.
What awaited was Zhu Han's merciless butcher's knife.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han." Old Man Kong looked solemn: "This is definitely not the work of me alone."
"It's because of Zhu Ming's cruelty that the people of the world have suffered from Zhu Ming for a long time."
"Zhu Yuanzhang is a traitor who does not practice benevolence and is greedy for heaven's merits and steals the world."
"The reason why the King of Han lost to Zhu Yuanzhang was not because he was inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang, but because the King of Han practiced benevolent government and could not compare with a sinister villain like Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Facts have also proven that brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han are by no means good people."
"When they were fighting for hegemony in the world, they were capricious and treacherous for their own selfish desires. After stealing the world, their true colors were revealed, cruel and murderous. I don't know how many innocent righteous people died at the hands of these two brothers."
Old Man Kong's words were taken into consideration by Chen Xueying. With a smile on his face, he gave Old Man Kong an encouraging smile from time to time, asking him to continue talking.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Old Man Kong became even more excited.
The whole person seemed to be in a state of excitement, and Lanxess continued: "Zhu Yuanzhang had ignored the opposition of Manchu officials in order to move the capital to Yanjing."
"Relocating the capital has been a waste of money and people since ancient times. Whether it's Yingtian Mansion or Yanjing, I don't know how many people have their families separated from their families because of this."
"Zhu Han is even more outrageous. In order to build the capital, he tried every means to plunder the people's wealth. In order to make money, he actually let those lowly businessmen build the capital."
"Such behavior has never been seen in history." Old Man Kong said with indignation, and looked as disgusted as if he had seen stool.
It was as if just mentioning the word money made his mouth dirty.
Chen Xueying also knew something about this matter. She shook her head and sighed: "No matter whether Zhu Ming's empire is greedy for God's merit or not, this approach is indeed inappropriate."
Old Man Kong puffed his beard and glared, saying with a look of disgust: "The origins of these two brothers have already determined their vision."
"If the world hadn't been in chaos at that time, and all the rebel armies had already fought against Meng Yuan, both of them had suffered losses, how could these two traitors have been allowed to seize the world?"
"Especially this Zhu Han. He is so brilliant at other things, but his ability to scrape the land is really impressive."
As he spoke, Old Man Kong gradually became proud again: "Even God can no longer stand what they have done. That's why the drought, which is rare in thousands of years, was specifically sent to punish the monarchs on earth for not being able to implement benevolent policies.
"
"But the two brothers Zhu Yuanzhang turned a blind eye at all. Especially Zhu Han, who used natural disasters to make a lot of money."
"Does His Highness the King of Han know how expensive the food in Datong Mansion is now?"
In order to get to Datong Mansion as soon as possible, Chen Xueying worked hard all the way, so she didn't know a lot of information clearly.
This old man, Kong, actually raised the issue of food prices on this occasion.
This inevitably made Chen Xueying a little interested, and asked in confusion: "Please give me some advice from Mr. Kong."
Half of his doubts were feigned, and the other half was more about trying to please Old Man Kong.
That's right, it's just to please.
Although Chen Xueying is just an extremely ignored son of Chen Youliang.
But no matter what, Chen Youliang once served as the King of Han.
Even Chen Youliang, the King of Han, was basically self-proclaimed. But in order to give the throne a certain legitimacy, he certainly thought of many ways.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Inviting the great Confucian to teach his sons to learn, this is one of them.
Of course, Chen Xueying’s purpose of trying to please Old Man Kong was not because he had received Confucian education.
It's just because he needs help from the Kong family now.
Although the former leader of the White Lotus Sect helped him recruit many of Chen Youliang's former subordinates.
But most of those people are warriors.
If you want to let these people charge into battle, there is no problem.
But when it comes to managing the army, if there are no scholars in the area, then nothing can be expected.
Regardless of whether it was him or this old man, they were saying that Zhu Ming was greedy for heaven's merits and that the country was not doing justice.
But they know better than anyone else that no matter what they say, the Ming Dynasty is still the most orthodox court recognized by the whole world.
Although, Zhu Han directly struck down the entire Kong Sheng lineage on the pillar of shame.
Scholars all over the world seemed eager to eat Zhu Han alive.
But the most they can do is shout a few slogans in private.
When it comes to one's own vital interests, all Confucius and sages will step aside.
Among the scholars, there are at least eight who will never really believe in benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, etc.
This thing is used to ask others, and of course we, the scholars, do not need to abide by it.
So even if the imperial court did that kind of thing to the Kong family.
Those who are really good at reading will still flock to become officials in the imperial court.
Only the Kong family, who have now become mice on the street, and a small number of unsatisfactory ones, plus those extremely rare scholars who really feel that they are serving the common people of the world.
Only then would you lose your mind, join an organization like the White Lotus Sect, and risk losing your head to rebel against them.
As for Chen Xueying, who has become the leader of the White Lotus Sect, she has to go all the way to the dark side.
All we can do is try our best to win over the Kong family.
There are definitely many Kong family members who harbor resentment against the Ming Dynasty, and this old man Kong is definitely the oldest one.
As long as he can be conquered, it is almost equivalent to conquering most of the current Kong family.
Although the Kong family has long since lost its glory, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. For Chen Xueying, it is still a rare force.
Old Man Kong was very satisfied with Chen Xueying's attitude, which allowed him to once again find the memories of the time when the Kong family was the descendant of the most holy teacher and the descendants of the Shenggong clan.
Old Man Kong stroked his beard, looking upright and solemn.
"The King of Han has just arrived at Datong Mansion, so it's normal not to know." As he said this, Old Man Kong's expression changed, and his tone was full of anger, as if he could explode right now if there was even a small flame.
"King Han, one stone in Datong Mansion has already reached six taels of silver."
"What?" Even when Chen Xueying asked this question, she was already prepared.
But when he heard the number that stood out from Old Man Kong's mouth, he was still so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth.
He really couldn't even imagine this price.
Old Man Kong seemed to be very satisfied with Chen Xueying's attitude. He nodded heavily and said, "My lord, you heard it right. It is indeed six taels of silver."
"Moreover, this price is not the black market price. It is the price set by the imperial court."
