Chapter 409: Can these evidences punish the Nine Tribes?
Zhu Yunxi said that he would count the sins committed by the Kong family in front of Saint Kong.
He really wanted to count them one by one.
In front of Dacheng Hall, the officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guards have blocked all the entrances and exits.
In order to allow the Kong family members to hear more clearly what they had done, the officers and soldiers even more thoughtfully held Xiuchun knives to keep the Kong family members within a fixed and optimal hearing range.
Zhu Gaochi didn't want to read the boxes of incriminating evidence. His thoughts had leapt through time and space, thousands of years ago, when Confucius was still alive.
At that time, Confucius was teaching students in Xingtan in front of him, trying to build an ideal world in that troubled time. In that era when a hundred schools of thought contended, he explored the existence of the truth of one family.
Prince Yan became emotional.
Therefore, Qin Shizi waved his hands helplessly and gave Tian Mai, who asked for instructions, a roll of his eyes: "I called more people who can read and read it in the ears of these people named Kong, and read it carefully and word by word.
They listen!"
Tian Mai is an honest man.
So he really found out the corresponding Jinyiwei officers and soldiers who could read according to the number of people with the surname Kong present, handed out an account book to each person, and started reading to the ears of the Kong family members.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of reading was once again heard in the Confucius Temple.
The sound reaches my ears.
In the apricot altar in the distance, the leaves on the branches are moving with the sound. It seems that this moment has returned to thousands of years ago. After Confucius visited various countries, he felt helpless when he came back. Then he used his own thoughts as the foundation to preach here.
Receive karma, teach without distinction.
The movement in the Confucius Temple naturally attracted the attention of the Confucius Mansion.
Especially when those Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers who were originally entering the mansion and were supposed to be guarding the way started to search everywhere and did not let anyone move around without permission.
These people were completely panicked.
People began to beg for mercy and began to shout. People in the Confucius family who did not know what was going on in the Confucius Temple at this moment even moved out Saint Confucius and the first civil servant Yan Shenggong to suppress the Jinyi guards who had started to take people.
only.
Xiuchun Dao will teach people good manners.
After the Jinyi guards took the people, they sent them to the third and sixth halls of the front office of Confucius.
The front office of the Confucius Mansion was built according to the official government office when the imperial court ordered it to be built. The so-called three halls and six halls are just like the six departments and six rooms set up above the court hall in the local government offices.
Therefore, the place here is very large, and there are many rooms for Jinyiwei to interrogate.
The people from the Kong family who were sent here were carefully taken care of by Jin Yiwei, and everyone was assigned to take care of them.
Every person in the Confucius family who walks into the temporary interrogation room has a different interrogation problem.
In the Confucius Mansion, the imperial guards were speeding up the interrogation of the relevant persons. In the Confucius Temple, the sound of chanting never stopped for a long time.
After the officers and soldiers finished reading one, the second group of officers and soldiers came forward with new account books to take over the task, so that their colleagues could take a break.
Kong Gongjian and others have collapsed, completely collapsed.
Behind him, those tribesmen, those old Confucian scholars and elders of the Kong family, made a series of urination and urination sounds out of fear and fear of death.
Someone burped in fear.
Originally, Kong Gongjian was going to try to explain and defend the Kong family's innocence.
But when those officers and soldiers penetrated into his ears one by one the most hidden means of livelihood of the Kong family, even Kong Gongjian was at a loss. After a long period of confusion, he finally came to his senses little by little.
In the Confucius Mansion that has been passed down for thousands of years, there are many things that they, the Kong family members, are no longer exposed to, or they know the results but not the process.
Kong Gongjian never thought that even the servants of the Kong family could own thousands of acres of fertile land. They were the sons of a family who had served the big family for nearly a hundred years, and they became famous when they left the house.
And under this prosperity, countless things that are contrary to the teachings of sages and sages are numerous, vast, and endless.
Under the carved beams and painted buildings and the bright lights of the Confucius Mansion, there are piles of bones, endless sins, and cannibal indifference.
"Third Master!"
A cry of surprise suddenly came from the crowd.
Where the sound came from, several members of the Kong family were seen hugging an elder of the Kong family with pale faces.
Kong Gongjian turned his head in confusion.
I saw a tribesman putting his finger under the third master’s nose.
The man's palm suddenly trembled, and he retracted it in fear. He raised his head and looked at the people around him with a gray face.
"Three...the Third Master...is gone..."
The eldest surviving elder of the Kong family just left, quietly and in panic.
Suddenly the ground was full of crying and sobbing.
Kong Gongjian turned his head, slowly raised his head, and looked at the emperor's grandson sitting on the wooden box with bloodshot eyes.
Zhu Yunxi looked down, as calm as water.
Kong Gongjian chuckled foolishly, stretched out his hand to wipe his nose, and then put his hands on the ground, throwing himself on the ground with a thumping sound.
Kong Gongjian kowtowed very seriously.
The Confucius Temple is also very solidly built.
Therefore, Kong Gongjian kowtowed loudly, and the Kong family members who were still angry that the eldest elder of the Kong family had left with such stubbornness turned their heads one after another.
Looking at Kong Gongjian who was kneeling in front of the Dacheng Hall, kneeling in front of the emperor's grandson, kowtowing repeatedly, he saw that the floor tiles were dyed red.
"Why is this so?"
Zhu Yunxi's eyelids drooped and he murmured in a low voice.
Kong Gongjian stopped kowtowing and raised his head: "I beg Your Highness to spare the Kong family."
"Spare me?" Zhu Yunxi sneered and patted the wooden box under his seat: "These things..."
He spoke very slowly, put his hands on his legs, and gradually leaned forward.
"These things, these incriminating evidences."
"Can you deny a Zhujiu Clan?"
Kong Gongjian trembled all over, and the Kong family members behind him were also frightened for a while.
Is the Zhu family going to wipe out Kong?
Because it is basically difficult for the court to make such changes and decisions in such a short period of time.
Kong Gongjian's chest was violently bullied, his head continued to feel dizzy, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his stomach was churning with desire.
Kill the nine tribes.
This was a highly used word in the Hongwu Dynasty.
Every time, countless heads were killed, and tens of thousands of people were sent to the frontiers and sentenced to low status.
Kong Gongjian's eyes had lost all light.
According to the evidence that has been found out in front of us, it is enough to assign the Kong family to the Nine Clan. Even if the Kong family is a family of saints, even if Yan Shenggong is the first civil servant in the dynasty, even if all the scholars in the world have to face it,
Confucius called him "Master".
"What exactly does Your Highness want?"
After a long silence, Kong Gongjian raised his head with blood in his eyes and asked dully.
This guy won't die early, right?
Looking at Kong Gongjian's appearance at this moment, a hint of gloom flashed in Zhu Yunxi's heart.
He patted the wooden box and made a clanging sound: "What can the Kong family give me?"
Kong Gongjian's eyes flickered. The Kong family had a lot to offer, but there were probably very few things that could be appreciated by his grandson.
However, Zhu Yunxi continued: "Everyone in the world is studying the knowledge of Confucius. In Confucius's house, there are many people in each house, and there is another sect in the south. What do you think you can give me now?"
Zhu Yunxi tore the foundation of the Kong family apart without reservation.
The title of Duke Yansheng could be exchanged by the imperial court for a small house in the Confucius House or even the Nanzong.
Kong Gongjian seemed to have lost all his soul and soul, and his neck seemed to be pinched tightly by an invisible big hand.
A feeling of suffocation and powerlessness, like being submerged in bottomless water.
In just an instant, Kong Gongjian was already covered in sweat, and the pieces of silk and satin on his body were wet from the inside out.
However, behind Kong Gongjian, the expressions on the faces of those clansmen who were not from the eldest family members of the Kong family were quite unusual at this moment.
They disappeared because the third master of the Confucius family was still dead here. They were completely immersed in fear and uneasiness because of the boxes of evidence of the Confucius family's crimes.
The last words of the emperor's grandson were very clear.
Kong Gongjian lost all the capital for negotiation, or in other words, Yan Shenggong and his family were deprived of their negotiating position.
Under the shade, Zhu Gaochi raised his head silently and looked at the sky above the Dacheng Hall. The sky was blue, the clouds were white, the breeze was floating, and the white clouds were long.
Zhu Yunxi stood up, walked past Kong Gongjian's eyes, walked down the steps in front of Dacheng Hall, and stood in the open space below.
"The crimes affecting the nine clans are all here."
Zhu Yunxi shook his left hand and put it behind his back. He turned the jade ring finger with his right hand and his eyes were deep and sharp: "Mr. Kong, do you dare to bend your neck and try it?"
Kong Gongjian stumbled, lying on the ground with his hands and feet, rolled down the corridor on the steps, and was already in disgrace when he reached Zhu Yunxi's feet.
"Kong doesn't dare to beg His Highness to atone for his sins. Kong is willing to ride for His Highness, and he is willing to follow His Highness' sharp edge."
However, no one responded to Kong Gongjian's surrender and allegiance.
When the sound of footsteps was heard in the ears and Kong Gongjian raised his head, Zhu Yunxi had already quietly left, and the officers and soldiers formed groups of four again, carrying the wooden boxes filled with incriminating evidence and evacuated the Confucius Temple.
What's going on?
Kong Gongjian stared blankly at the officers and soldiers leaving on their own, feeling that his heart was really in a state of turmoil today.
The evidence that could bring about the death of the nine clans of the Kong family has been exposed in front of the Kong family, and now they are just taken away as if nothing happened.
Kong Gongjian turned around blankly and looked at the clan members of the Kong family.
Just this glance made Kong Gongjian break into a cold sweat on his back again.
In Kong Gongjian's sight, these familiar tribesmen in the past looked at him with huge changes.
The people from the third master's group looked at him with a hint of resentment and anger in their eyes.
As for the other clan members who were not from Dafang, they looked more mocking and watching the show.
seem.
The last few words left by the emperor's grandson finally set off ripples of thoughts in the hearts of the Kong family.
And the fact that the evidence that could kill the nine members of the Kong family was taken away is the best proof.
Kong Gongjian's back was like a gleam, and the palms in his sleeves were trembling slightly, finding it difficult to accept this reality.
It's just that the clansmen didn't show much kindness to the next successor of Duke Yan Shenggong this time. Most of them used the excuse that they wanted to take the third master of the Kong family back to the house, and the people next to the Dacheng Hall were cheering and supporting him.
Opened the side door and squeezed out.
In the end, only the people from the main room of the Confucius Residence were left, still accompanying them in front of the Dacheng Hall, waiting for Kong Gongjian to speak.
Kong Gongjian's brother was among the remaining Dafang people.
"Brother, what should we do now? These people are mostly people who are unjust and unjust. My father has just gone south to Beijing to meet with His Majesty. At this moment, it was just a few words of provocation from His Highness Taisun, and they all forgot the rules and forgot the rules.
identity."
Kong Gongjian turned around to look at his brother who was speaking, stepped forward and patted the other's cheek gently, laughing miserably: "Now it's not about what we should do, but what we can do. But you...you don't have to worry,
Even if we are guilty, everyone should not be implicated. Our Kong family has been experiencing hardships for thousands of years. What kind of hardships have we not experienced?"
The man with the big house still wanted to talk, but Kong Gongjian waved his hand and looked at him: "Let's all go back to the house. There are still the third wife's funeral affairs to take care of."
…
"How should the funeral arrangements for the Kong family be arranged?"
Outside the main entrance of the Confucius Temple, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Yunxi who was walking in front and asked in a low voice.
Zhu Yunxi walked very leisurely for a few steps, as if the wilderness where the army gathered was a picnic ground.
He turned back to look at Xiaopang, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have all the people sent to intercept Yan Shenggong and invite him back passed?"
Zhu Gaochi replied: "We got the news late, but Duke Yan Sheng used all ceremonial guards and carriages to enter the capital. There were many people and he walked slowly. I think it won't be long before we can invite people back."
"It will be done when you come back." Zhu Yunxi hummed, nodded, and said quite seriously: "Although I have little talent and little knowledge, I have received the order from His Majesty. Duke Yan Sheng is old and has traveled south for thousands of miles. He is afraid of the water and the soil.
If you don’t accept it, it’s better not to leave year after year. I’ll be here this year. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I’ll let His Majesty know when I return to Beijing alone.”
Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes: "There is no Kong family here. Do you think this is a waste of time?"
Zhu Yunxi suddenly grinned: "Aren't I afraid that I will forget my excuse? I need to preview it in advance."
Zhu Gaochi waved his hands in annoyance and frowned: "You haven't said yet how the Kong family's affairs will end."
"How will it end?" Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Gaochi with confusion on his face.
He stepped forward and put his hand on Xiaopang's shoulder: "Brother Chi, look around now, look at everything around you, what do you see?"
Zhu Gaochi was a little confused and hummed: "Wildness, ditch, wooden wall, crop field."
He told everything he saw.
"No!"
Zhu Yunxi denied it flatly and said: "None of it! It's exploitation! It's the complete exploitation of those poor people by a saintly family like the Kong family!"
Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth wide: "You want..."
"Since there is exploitation, I will personally eliminate all exploitation here!"
Zhu Yunxi retracted his hand, put his hands on his hips, held his head high and looked towards the wilderness outside the Confucius Temple: "Here comes someone."
