Bang bang bang.

The thick door of the Confucius Mansion was knocked heavily by the soldiers.

These days, the servants guarding the door of the Confucius Mansion are very happy. The master has issued a message and the door is closed tightly. He lets the wind and rain outside and has nothing to do with the Confucius Mansion.

Precisely because of this, the servants who used to look after the door rarely had the opportunity to take some time off to do some casual things with the ladies in the house.

Today, because the head of the family, Yanshenggong Kongne, is going south to Beijing to meet His Majesty the Emperor, the family has made preparations early.

After seeing off the owner of the house, the concierge was not willing to scare him away, so he huddled in the small room behind the gate of the house.

When there were knocks on the door of the mansion, several concierges jumped in their hearts and immediately stood up from their beds and couches.

Outside the Confucius Mansion, the knocking on the door by officers and soldiers became louder and more urgent.

"Who?"

"If you are coming to visit, please submit the post. My master will see it and arrange a meeting later."

Behind the door, the concierge's response came.

This is a well-behaved statement.

The officers and soldiers outside the gate of the mansion stopped, and one person stepped forward and said in a serious voice: "His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor of the State of Supervision is here and wants to pay homage to the statue of Saint Confucius."

"How can my ancestor be worshiped by everyone?" Behind the door panel, there was the concierge's teasing voice, but soon there was a sound of neck twitching and gasping: "Yes... yes... it's the great grandson.

Your Highness?"

"The central gates of Kong's Mansion are all open! Welcome His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor!"

The soldier raised his eyebrows and shouted in a deep voice.

Behind the door, footsteps were heard, but the sound was getting farther and farther away. It seemed that the concierge was going to inform the Kong family.

Creak.

Ahead, the door of Kong Mansion was slowly opened, and several concierges cautiously poked their heads out, looking at the people outside.

When Jin Yiwei's flying fish suit came into view, they finally chose to believe it.

"Young ones, please pay homage to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince."

The concierge of the Confucius Mansion opened all the doors, walked out and knelt aside.

Zhu Yunxi, surrounded by everyone, turned around and looked sideways at the open door of Confucius' mansion.

Behind the door, the master has not shown up yet, but wherever he can see, servants and maids are kneeling on the ground, waiting for His Highness the Emperor Grandson to enter the house.

"In a thousand-year-old family, the rules are even greater than those in the palace."

Zhu Yunxi said a few words casually.

Zhu Gaochi echoed beside him and muttered: "The Confucius Mansion has a huge collection of books. Sage Confucius studied Zhou rites in his early years and paid the most attention to etiquette education. When we go in, we may see many more shops that we have never seen before."

"Your Highness, Kong Gongjian, the legitimate son of Yanshenggong Kongne, is here with his people."

Zhang Zhiyuan said softly from the side.

Everyone looked up one after another and saw that the Kong Mansion was in full force.

Led by several elders of the Kong clan, Kong Gongjian walked outside with an anxious expression.

Who would have thought that my father had just left home for the capital, and that the emperor's grandson, who had just settled the rebellion in Henan Province and was supposed to continue his western tour, would suddenly arrive outside his door.

This made Kong Gongjian, who had just just closed his eyes and just wanted to rest for a while, feel like a fire was burning in his heart.

It was really too much suffering.

"My ministers and clan members respectfully welcome His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson. I have not made any preparations and have not done any cleaning or flushing. Please forgive me."

From afar, Kong Gongjian shouted outside the house.

His voice was loud, as if he wanted everyone to hear clearly.

Zhu Yunxi stood outside Confucius' mansion, motionless as a mountain.

And he can be distinguished at a glance.

After a while, Kong Gongjian and the elders of the Kong family finally walked out of the house.

Zhu Yunxi turned sideways slightly and squinted.

Kong Gongjian walked to the front and surrounded him with the elders of the Kong family, but his eyes were still surprised.

Zhu Shangbing had been standing behind him before. When he saw the Kong family members coming out, he immediately shouted: "Hit Your Majesty's Emperor's Order. Don't forget the rules and punish you later."

The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard, who were already responsible for guarding the ceremonial guard, immediately displayed the ceremonial guards of the emperor's grandson.

Then Zhu Shangbing nodded with satisfaction, his eyes faintly looking towards everyone in the Kong Mansion.

Kong Gongjian, who was originally just planning to cross his hands as a salute, now looked a little ugly.

He and the elders of the Kong family looked up at the emperor's grandson, who was standing sideways, and saw no action from him. Instead, he seemed a little tired from the long journey.

After the Emperor's ceremonial guard was carried out, everyone in the Kong family had no choice but to accept this fact.

"My ministers, I would like to pay my respects to His Highness the Emperor Taisun, and respectfully welcome His Highness the Emperor Taisun into the residence."

"Students pay homage to His Royal Highness the Emperor."

"The little man pays homage to His Royal Highness the Emperor."

For a time, the entire floor in front of Kong's mansion was full of people with high buttocks and low heads.

Both Kong Gongjian and Yan Shenggong were regarded as ministers. Members of the Kong family, no matter how old or young, all called themselves students. The children of the Kong family could only be described as villains.

From a distance, Tang Keke looked at this scene and said softly: "Look now, they are all the same people, and there is no difference."

"Where can there be different people? They don't all have two eyes and one mouth." Zhang Zhiyuan crossed his arms and greeted His Highness Taisun himself and sent him to the Confucius Mansion. After receiving a lecture, there was nothing wrong today. There were still things outside.

He has to protect me.

As for His Royal Highness Taisun's stay in the Confucius Mansion, it is naturally the errand of the Jinyi guards.

Everyone in the Kong family knelt down and saluted, while Zhang Zhiyuan and Tang Keke chatted in idle chatter. Zhang Hui, the guard in front of the Kong Mansion, already had a serious look on his face and led people around the Kong family on the ground to both sides of the mansion gate.

"Enter!"

Zhang Hui just said a brief and powerful word, and the guards in uniforms poured into the Confucius mansion like a tide.

When Jin Yiwei entered the house, the noise was of course insignificant. In an instant, there was a burst of noise in the Kong Mansion.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi remember waking up from his slumber. He blinked and looked at everyone in the Confucius Mansion: "Why are you all so generous? Please get up quickly. You are indeed worthy of being from my family of pilgrims, Duke Yansheng's Mansion."

As Zhu Yunxi spoke, he turned around and walked up to Kong Gongjian. He just extended his hand in vain, and Yutian who was waiting beside him immediately stepped forward.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yutian glanced at Kong Gongjian, who was the nearest and oldest member of the Kong family. He stepped forward, stretched out his hands and held the man's hands.

arm.

Although Yu Tian was an eunuch, his body was well polished. When he first saw that he was careless, he could not support this old man from the Kong family, and the other party did not understand the rules and followed him to stand up.

Yu Tian sneered in his heart, and silently rubbed the toes of his right foot on the ground. He first pressed down his arms, and then held a breath in his chest.

In full view of everyone, Yu Tian immediately lifted up the elder of the Kong family. His original idea that it would be easier to kneel down than to get up was in vain.

When Kong Gongjian and his clan members saw that they had suffered a series of defeats today, they stopped trying to show their strength and stood up.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness the Emperor."

Zhu Yunxi hummed, then walked in from the middle gate of Kong's mansion.

He didn't speak, and Zhu Gaochi who was following him had to act as a communicator, talking to Kong Gongjian about boring but enduring topics from time to time.

The entire Confucius Mansion covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres, with more than 400 halls and buildings. It was built in the 10th year of Hongwu, with nine courtyards and a three-way layout.

Entering through the middle gate of Kongfu Middle Road, Zhu Yunxi did not go to the sixth hall and the sixth hall of Qianya Yamen on Kongfu Middle Road. Instead, he paused for a moment and looked to the northwest.

"After thinking about it, this is my first time in Qufu. To pay my respects to the Saint of Confucius, I should go to the Confucius Temple, right?"

Kong Gongjian's face, who had already stepped forward to greet Zhu Yunxi, changed again.

After entering the mansion, I had to transfer to the Confucius Temple.

Kong Gongjian bowed and lowered his head with a smile: "Your Highness is a man of great wealth, and has been given the royal gift by imperial order, with the same authority as Your Majesty. When Your Highness first came to this mansion, it has filled the walls with brilliance. All ministers and ministers must obey."

Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Kong Gongjian who had finished speaking and looked up at him with a smile on his face.

He shook his robe and said casually in a soft voice: "The Confucius family lived in Qufu for a long time. I originally thought that the Confucian family was a family heirloom and did not care about worldly affairs. But I didn't know that the Confucius family actually knew many world affairs."

The emperor's grandson was dissatisfied with the Kong family.

When Zhu Yunxi said these words, Kong Gongjian's heart was already in his throat. Especially now that the Kong Mansion was surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers, this had to make Kong Gongjian work hard to go

Think and cope.

His father's words before he left still echoed in Kong Gongjian's mind. All the gains and losses were outweighed by the eternal inheritance of the Kong family.

Kong Gongjian folded his hands and said: "I am a concubine first, and then a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Apart from farming and studying, I also hope that I will be in charge of the country for thousands of years. Your Majesty gave you the favor to build the government, and set up three halls and six halls in front of the Yamen. Xu officials came to the government to discuss

Regarding state affairs, I hope that my ministers can work and study, and not be blind to the affairs of the world."

Kong Gongjian couldn't help but explain, and everyone went to the Confucius Temple to the west of the Confucius Mansion.
