Chapter 32(2/2)

"May I ask Mr. Nian Tai, who is this bird?"

A group of people clapped their hands and laughed, even Liu Zongzhou laughed and cursed.

"You mean boy, let me teach you a lesson later."

Hou Xun asked Zuo Mengeng to come to him and introduce the two strangers to him.

"These two are the two outstanding figures of the Gong clan, after Duke Wen Jie."

The older of the two, tall and bearded, said: "Gong Heng has met Brother Zuo Xian."

Another person said elegantly: "Gong Duan has met Zuo Xiandi."

Zuo Mengeng did not dare to neglect and returned the courtesy respectfully.

"I have heard for a long time that Mengyin Gong's virtues are unparalleled, and his poetry and calligraphy knowledge are the best in Qilu. In the future, I will ask my two brothers to teach me."

The father of Gong Heng and Gong Duan was Gong Nai, one of the three great families in Shanzuo during the Wanli period.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Mengyin Gong family was a famous imperial family, with five jinshi in one discipline, and two Hanlin scholars in father and son.

The flourishing style of writing is rare in the world.

However, although the Gong family emerged in Shandong, Gong Nai's poems advocated Qi Feng, but not Qi Dang.

Gong Nai is a veritable Donglin Party, so it is not surprising that Gong Heng and Gong Duan appear here.

Zuo Mengeng asked and found out that Gong Nai had passed away three years ago.

During the Tianqi period, Gong Nai was deeply ostracized by the eunuchs and resigned from office and returned to his hometown.

This time the eunuchs were destroyed, Gong Nai was also among those rewarded.

Although he passed away, his two sons were all awarded official positions.

Gong Heng is similar to Liu Yiyuan. Although he comes from a scholarly family, he is better at martial arts. This time he is going to Xuzhou to serve as a general.

Gong Duan took the civil service route and was appointed as the Prime Minister of Guanglu Temple.
