Chapter 293 The way of life of the Kong family! 【2 more】
On a carriage, Chu Yi sat firmly in it, holding the book in his hand. At this moment, a horse came rushing towards him and presented a secret letter to Cao Shaoqin.
Cao Shaoqin sent the Dongchang spy and drove his horse forward, parallel to the carriage. At this moment, Chu Yi's voice sounded in the carriage: "Cao Shaoqin, is there anything wrong?"
With Chu Yi's current level of cultivation, just relying on his senses, he could not hide any disturbance within a radius of more than ten feet. It was impossible not to notice such a big movement just now, even if Chu Yi was reading a book.
Cao Shaoqin said respectfully, "Master Governor, there is a secret letter from Dongchang."
As he spoke, Cao Shaoqin opened the carriage window and presented the secret letter to Chu Yi. Chu Yi took the secret letter, opened it, slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Interesting, really interesting, Yue Buqun will seize the opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Cao Shaoqin couldn't help but curiously glance at the secret letter in Chu Yi's hand.
Chu Yi handed the secret letter to Cao Shaoqin and said, "You should also take a look."
The secret letter naturally contained what happened at Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Bowl Washing Ceremony. After reading it, Cao Shaoqin narrowed his eyes and said: "This Yue Buqun is really as the governor said, but the Songshan Sect is really unlucky.
Having been caught by Yue Buqun, the Songshan Sect may not be able to escape this time."
Regarding these sects in the Jianghu, whether they are the Songshan sect or the Hengshan sect, in Cao Shaoqin's eyes, they are all the best ones that can be destroyed.
Now that Yue Buqun has set his sights on the Songshan Sect, and he has great intentions of destroying the Songshan Sect in one fell swoop, Cao Shaoqin naturally applauded.
It was even more impossible for Chu Yi to take this matter to heart. He just ordered Dongchang to keep an eye on the follow-up. As for whether the Songshan Sect would be destroyed by the imperial court, that was the imperial court's business. Chu Yi had no interest in worrying about it.
.
"Cao Shaoqin, where have we reached now?"
Cao Shaoqin said respectfully: "Reporting to the governor, according to the governor's instructions, we returned to Beijing, passed through Shandong, and then transferred to Qufu. Now we have entered the territory of Qufu."
A bright light flashed in Chu Yi's eyes: "Stop the car!"
Soon the carriage stopped steadily, and Chu Yi was seen walking out of the carriage. Looking around, he saw a green field all around. The breeze was blowing, and the crops in the field were swaying in the wind. It looked harmonious.
Abandoning the carriage and mounting their horses, Chu Yi and his party kept their horses steady and moved forward slowly. At this moment, Fang Li took a deep breath and said to Chu Yi: "Master, we are heading to Qufu this time. I think the governor is heading towards the Kong Mansion in Qufu."
Bar!"
Chu Yi smiled slightly. Even a fool knew that he came to Qufu just for the Kong family.
The Confucian family has great influence among the scholars in the world. In every dynasty, Yanshenggong has been conferred by the imperial court, and his status can be said to be respected. For thousands of years, dynasties have changed, but the Confucian family has been passed down from generation to generation. Although there have been some incidents during this period,
Split, but even if it is split, it can still prosper. It is a family with a lineage of Southern Taoist Tianshi Mansion that has been passed down for thousands of years.
With a bit of worry on his face, Fang Li whispered: "Supervisor, the Kong family has a respected position. Supervisor must think twice before taking action!"
Chu Yi couldn't help but chuckle, and said with a bit of disdain: "Then it depends on what choice the Kong family makes! If the Kong family knows what they are interested in, Chu will not be the one to kill!"
While speaking, Chu Yi said to Cao Shaoqin: "Has the whereabouts of this governor been spread?"
Cao Shaoqin quickly said: "According to the governor's instructions, after entering the territory of Shandong, the slaves have sent people to quietly spread the news about the governor's movements. It is expected that the Kong family's status in Shandong must have received the news from the governor by now.
News coming straight to Qufu."
When Chu Yi, Cao Shaoqin, and Fang Li were talking about the Kong family, in the huge house of the Kong Mansion in Qufu, the contemporary Yan Shenggong Kong Wenshao and other clan elders were sitting in the main hall with solemn expressions.
Kong Wenshao looked solemn, glanced at the clan elders and said slowly: "Dear clan elders, Chu Yi is coming straight to Qufu. What is his goal? I think everyone should know it even if he doesn't say it!"
One of the clan members, who was about sixty years old, was a younger brother of the previous generation Yan Shenggong. His name was Kong Hongli. He stroked his gray beard and said: "So what if Chu Yi comes from the east? Our Kong clan has been granted royal titles for many generations, even if it is a dynasty."
The replacement will not harm our Kong family. What can a mere favorite of the emperor do to our Kong family?"
He was also a clan elder who looked about forty years old. Hearing this, he couldn't help but frowned and said: "The third uncle's words are wrong. Chu Yi is an extraordinary person. In his eyes, he doesn't respect literati."
, Not to mention that he killed literati like cattle and sheep, but just his actions in Jianyang County, Fujian, don't you have any feelings? "
Kong Hongli snorted coldly and said: "The Zhu family is the Zhu family, how can it be compared with my Kong family? There are seventy-two sages sitting under the ancestors and the most holy teachers. The Zhu family is just a Zhu Xi who deserves to enjoy the Confucius Temple!"
As he spoke, Kong Hongli's eyes shone brightly and he said: "In recent years, the Zhu family has been vaguely controlling the right to speak in Shilin, and their influence has overshadowed my Kong family. This time the Zhu family has been eliminated, it is really very satisfying."
Apparently Chu Yi's attack on the Zhu family in Jianyang County has spread, but judging from Kong Hongli's reaction, it is obvious that there are actually many factions within Confucianism.
Confucianism is indeed the representative of Confucianism on the surface, but there are many factions within Confucianism. After the death of Confucius alone, Confucianism was divided into eight factions during the Warring States Period, such as Zizhang's Confucianism, Zisi's Confucianism, Yan's Confucianism, etc. Later,
It also gave rise to schools such as Gongyang School, Neo-Confucianism, and Xinxue.
Zhu was a representative of the Neo-Confucian school. Because of the popularity of Neo-Confucianism, Zhu's influence naturally increased, which would affect Kong's interests to some extent. Therefore, Kong was actually very repulsive to Zhu.
This time, knowing that the Zhu family was destroyed by Chu Yi, although the Kong family felt that something had harmed their own kind, it was more of a joy.
After the Zhu family was destroyed, the Neo-Confucian lineage that had the right to speak within Confucianism naturally lost its leader. When the time comes when the Kong family ascends to the throne and shouts, the right to speak will naturally return to the hands of the Kong family.
Kong Wenzheng couldn't help but frowned and said: "Uncle, aren't you afraid that Zhu's disaster will happen again in my Kong family?"
Kong Hongli was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Is it just Chu Yi? My Kong family has been inherited for thousands of years, and I have never seen any big storms. Even Meng Yuan, who used to kill many people, still didn't treat my Kong family with courtesy.
Furthermore, as long as the emperor wants to be stable, he must respect my Kong family. Chu Yi is just a slave of the royal family, how dare he touch my Kong family?"
Kong Wenzheng couldn't help but sigh softly when he heard the words. His eyes fell on the head of the family, Kong Wenshao, and said: "Master, please don't anger Chu Yi, otherwise our Kong family will probably follow in the footsteps of the Zhu family!"
Most of the more than a dozen clan elders sneered at Kong Wen's true words, thinking that Kong Wen was just worrying about things unfounded. Who in the world would dare to touch the Kong family.
Even if the Ming Dynasty ceases to exist and dynasties change, the Kong family will still be safe and sound, and they will still enjoy the glory, wealth, and enshrinement of the imperial court.
Kong Wenshao stroked his beard, his eyes flashed, he nodded slowly, his eyes fell on Kong Wenzheng and said: "Ninth brother, you will handle the matter of welcoming Chu Yi!"
Kong Wenzheng was overjoyed when he heard this. Kong Wenshao chose him to be responsible for welcoming Chu Yi instead of Kong Hongli and others who chose to reject or even despise Chu Yi. This already showed Kong Wenshao's attitude.
Kong Hongli and others couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard this. Kong Hongli even said to Kong Wenshao: "Master, you..."
Kong Wenshao coughed slightly, waved his hands and said: "Everyone, you can learn from the past and learn from the future. As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. In fact, the murders caused by Chu Yi are still vivid in my mind. The tragedy of Songyang, the tragedy of Jiangnan,
The tragedy in the capital, and now that even the Zhu family has been wiped out by you, are you really not afraid that Chu Yi’s butcher knife will fall on my head, the Kong family?”
Thinking of what Chu Yi had done in the past, no matter how much they rejected Chu Yi, Kong Hongli and others couldn't help but stiffen, and there was a faint chill in their hearts.
As the saying goes, when a scholar encounters a soldier, it is hard to explain. If Chu Yi is an elder and powerful person above the court, the Kong family will have nothing to fear. But as long as Chu Yi is an internal servant, even if Chu Yi really looks like
Treat them like the Zhu family and the Kong family. It seems that they don't even have a chance to complain.
Kong Wenzheng glanced at the clan elders, with a hint of disdain deep in his eyes.
For thousands of years, the Confucius family has been able to pass on the family as steadily as Mount Tai from dynasty to dynasty. The way of doing things is the real principle.
As the saying goes, a man can bend and stretch. Since he can't offend Chu Yi, he should just keep a low profile. There is a saying that you can't hit someone with a smile. If the Kong family is showing a low profile, how can Chu Yi still deal with the Kong family for no reason?
Not successful?
Whenever there is a change of dynasty, the Kong family will side with whoever is stronger. This is the unbreakable and unbreakable inheritance of the Kong family.
Outside the main hall, a servant of the Kong family came in a hurry, stood outside the main hall and said respectfully: "Master, hurry up and report!"
A young man standing by came forward to take the letter, walked to Kong Wenshao and whispered: "Father!"
Kong Wenshao took the letter, opened it, raised his eyebrows, and then looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone, Chu Yi has now entered Qufu, and he will arrive at my Kong family soon."
As he spoke, Kong Wenshao glanced at everyone and said slowly: "I hope that during this period, no one will do anything drastic. It is related to the survival of my Kong family. If someone causes any trouble, don't blame me. I will open the ancestral temple and bring them to justice."
Drive out the Kong family."
The pace of Chu Yi and his party was not slow. When approaching Qufu City, Chu Yi changed into a carriage. The carriage drove slowly, and from a distance, an ancient and vicissitudes of building complex came into view, which stood on the land of Shandong.
Above, the Confucius family, which has flourished for thousands of years, is located.
Led by Kong Wenzheng, a group of more than a hundred people spread the loess ground and stood in front of the official road. They watched Chu Yi and his group slowly approaching from a distance.
