Next, Cao Ling led two thousand Guards cavalry to take over the defense of Qufudong, on the grounds of ensuring the safety of the imperial envoy!
Li Jinzhong, the imperial envoy, also stayed at the inn without leaving the door. The Kong family invited him to banquets many times, but Li Jinzhong refused them directly, not even leaving the scene politely!
The meaning of Li Jinzhong's avoidance was very obvious, just to wait for Kong Yinzhi's results. Kong Yinzhi was also tortured by this. He conveyed Li Jinzhong's words again, and everyone in the Kong family, old and young, was shocked!
There is talk of going to Beijing to sue Li Jinzhong for his misdeeds!
There is talk of uniting scholars from all over the world to submit a book together!
Some people even came up with the idea that if the young and old of the Kong family tied their own shackles and went to Beijing to plead guilty, they would definitely let the world see how the imperial court treats the saint's family!
There is no one who understands Kong Yinzhi and comes up with some useful ideas!
Kong Yinzhi saw this and hated it in his heart. Before, he was still resentful of the current little emperor's treatment of the Kong family, but now he suddenly understood something!
The little emperor in Beijing wants the land, money and the attitude of the Kong family, but he doesn¡¯t want Kong Yinzhi¡¯s life!
But these uncles and brothers in front of them only want land and money, and Kong Yinzhi¡¯s life seems to be nothing in the eyes of these people!
At this time Kong Yinzhi finally understood what Li Jinzhong said!
Without him, Kong Yinzhi would still be the Kong family!
"Perhaps they just want me to go back and step on my bones to ascend the throne of Duke Yan?" Kong Yinzhi looked at the uncles and brothers in front of him quietly, thinking to himself!
"Uncles and brothers!" After thinking about it, Kong Yinzhi stood up and said: "Maojia is not talented. In this position, facing the current changes, I am also saddened. However, Eunuch Li pressed hard, and Maojia was originally He planned to write to His Majesty to accuse the Kong family of grievances. Unfortunately, Eunuch Li had already prepared for it. He had asked Dongchang to investigate everyone in the Kong family. If this matter was not done as he said, even if the current Holy Spirit was The Kong family is in charge, but those who have been caught may not be able to escape. If you uncles and brothers are determined to die, Maojia will write a letter in blood, tie himself in shackles, and go to Beijing to complain!"
As soon as Kong Yinzhi said these words, all the children of the Kong family who were filled with indignation just now fell silent.
¡°They are all used to being domineering. Who¡¯s kid hasn¡¯t done some messy things?
If it is true as Kong Yinzhi said just now, even if they win the lawsuit in front of the emperor, the children who committed the crime will not be able to escape. In that case, even if the Kong family keeps their fields and money, their losses will be too great!
But can this lawsuit be won?
Although Kong Yinzhi blamed Li Jinzhong for everything, the Kong family was not stupid, so they naturally knew that this was the handiwork of the current little emperor!
???????????????? But having to give away so much land and having your own merchants pay taxes is a distressing matter no matter what, so although the Kong family stopped making trouble, no one said anything anymore!
Seeing this, Kong Yinzhi sneered again in his heart, but on the surface he looked sad and said: "The Kong family has gone through thousands of years, and now the position of Yan Shenggong has been passed down for sixty-three generations. We can't quarrel with the court because of some external things. Otherwise, needless to say, if you are being stared at every day, you will not be able to live in peace, right?"
Before Kong Yinzhi finished speaking, someone immediately said: "But this time if it goes as plannedthat Eunuch Li's wish, our Kong family will give out millions of acres of fertile land, and will receive a hundred thousand taels less every year. If this continues It¡¯s impossible to live this life!¡±
Kong Yinzhi looked at the person who spoke, finally showed an angry look, and said coldly: "This matter is irreversible. If you must insist on taking the stand, Maojia will immediately abdicate and make way for others. Can that uncle and brother put this behind him?" If you push back on the matter, Maojia will treat him like a cow or a horse to thank him!"
As soon as Kong Yinzhi said this, everyone fell silent. No one was a fool. With Kong Yinzhi standing in front of him, everyone could do gesticulating in the back, but if he really wanted to be pushed in front, most people would really Don't have the guts!
Kong Yinzhi glanced around coldly, and snorted coldly: "Since no one dares to challenge, then this matter will be settled. Each house will go back and return the land that should be cleared, and pay the taxes. , don¡¯t make any trouble, if you provoke Tianwei, whoever caused it will bear it on his own!"
After saying that, Kong Yinzhi walked away, leaving only a room full of old and young people from the Kong family staring at each other!
Kong Yinzhi was really good at what he did. He returned to his own calligraphy and drafted a memorial directly in the name of his uncle Yanshenggong Kong Shangxian. In the memorial, Kong Yinzhi not only admitted his sins, but also expressed his willingness to oust the Kong family.He also demanded that the taxes on Confucian merchants be increased to 50%, and at the same time he praised Pu Xue as true Confucianism.
After another fierce ideological struggle, Kong Yinzhi, with red eyes, asked Zhu Youxiaoen to allow the Kong family to follow the example of Huangzhuang and pay taxes to the national treasury!
The reason why Kong Yinzhi changed his mind was because he was really afraid. Those uncles and brothers were all greedy for life and afraid of death, and they had no decisive people. If he left this tail behind, he didn't know when he would explode.
Therefore, in Kong Yinzhi's view, this matter is a short-term pain rather than a long-term pain. Since the emperor wants the Confucius family to offend scholars all over the world, then it is better to offend them. Anyway, as long as the court still uses Confucianism as the standard to recruit talents through the imperial examination, the Confucius family's brand will be Can't fall!
After polishing the draft again and again, Kong Yinzhi transcribed the drafted memorial. When the ink was dry, he carried it in his arms and went directly to the inn where Li Jinzhong was staying!
After meeting Li Jinzhong, Kong Yinzhi handed the memorial directly to Li Jinzhong and said, "Eunuch Li, can you please take a look at this memorial?"
Li Jinzhong did not accept the memorial, but said with a smile: "This is the memorial given to His Majesty by the Young Master. Our family dare not read it, but we can tell the Young Master that Your Majesty is a very affectionate person." As a righteous person, as long as the Young Master is sincere enough, Your Majesty will naturally not be stingy!"
Kong Yinzhi nodded fiercely and said: "Maojia's memorial was written entirely in accordance with Eunuch Li's original instructions. Not only did he clear away the land on his own, he also asked the merchants under the Kong family's name to pay taxes at a rate of 50%. He also begged the Holy Spirit for permission. The land left by the Confucius family will be taxed in accordance with the imperial regulations. This should be full of sincerity. I just hope that the Holy One can be tolerant and be lenient to the children of the Confucius family for their past negligence! "
Li Jinzhong was stunned, looked at Kong Yinzhi and asked: "Young Master is really smart this time. I think Your Majesty will be moved by Young Master's sincerity!"
Kong Yinzhi didn¡¯t know whether he should cry or laugh now, so he could only helplessly cup his hands and say: ¡°I¡¯d like to send Eunuch Li auspicious words, but I still need Eunuch Li to mediate this matter. The Kong family will surely be richly rewarded by then!¡±
Li Jinzhong smiled and returned the courtesy: "Young Master is too polite. We are just His Majesty's lackeys. We are good at biting people and getting things done, but not good at other things. However, the Young Master and our family hit it off as soon as they met. We also have a few words." Talk to the Young Master!"
Kong Yinzhi quickly leaned forward and said: "What lessons does Eunuch Li have to teach me?"
Li Jinzhong did not lie, and said directly: "Your Majesty is the Holy Lord, and the last thing you want to see is someone playing tricks. Since you, the Kong family, want to hug His Majesty's lap, you should hug him tightly. Don't always be half-hearted. Young Master and Kong The more your family pays, the greater the grace your Majesty will give you!"
Kong Yinzhi didn¡¯t understand what Li Jinzhong said and thought it was Li Jinzhong trying to flatter the little emperor in Beijing. But when Kong Yinzhi¡¯s memorial caused an uproar in the government and the public, Kong Yinzhi understood what Li Jinzhong said!
After solving Kong Yinzhi, the team going south immediately set off and headed straight for their next goal, Jinan!
There was a stubborn prince there who not only refused to exchange his title for freedom, but also blatantly wrote a letter criticizing Zhu Youxiao's bad behavior regardless of family ties, so Zhu Youxiao was going to take action on him!
