Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing

Chapter 91: The emperor’s favor grows stronger, someone from the Kong family comes!
"Quick, present the urgent report to me!"

Emperor Shunde was overjoyed when he heard this.

He hurriedly asked his personal attendant to present the urgent report to him for review.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Shunde read the urgent report about Jia Cong's battle with the White Lotus Sect and said "good" three times in a row!
The key point in clearing out the White Lotus Sect is not how many rebels and bandits were suppressed.

Instead, he was a master of the third realm of the White Lotus Sect who was hiding among the rebels.

If we cannot find and kill them, what is the point of killing as many rebels and bandits as possible.

Whenever a natural disaster occurred, the White Lotus Sect would quickly raise another rebel army.

The loss of one spiritual cultivator and two martial arts masters.

It was enough to make the White Lotus Sect feel painful.

The victory in the first battle immediately gave Emperor Shunde full confidence.

"What else do you have to say?"

With a sneer, Emperor Shunde looked at the ministers who had just suggested to His Highness that he take away Jia Cong's military power.

"This... I have nothing to say..."

The ministers below were speechless for a moment.

Who would have thought that Jia Cong was not only a great scholar who had cultivated his spirit at the age of nine, but also had tremendous combat power.

He is actually good at leading troops.

"Nothing to say now?"

"Marquis Zi Yi is suppressing the rebellion for me in Shandong, but you are not thinking of good strategies in the court, but are constantly attacking and slandering me. What is your intention?"

"Where is the Ministry of Personnel?"

"All the impeachments of Purple Marquis ministers today will be recorded in the register. At the end of the year, they will be ranked as the lowest and will not be allowed to be promoted within three years!"

"The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War has ulterior motives. He is dismissed from office and ordered to be tried by the three courts!"

Emperor Shunde took advantage of the situation to make a fuss.

He was directly dismissed from his post as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

After saying this, he considered for a moment.

"Pass on my order, order the Purple-Robed Marquis to find out the true situation of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong as soon as possible, and report back to the capital as soon as possible."

"Where is Niu Jizong in the Zhenguo Mansion?"

"Chen is here!"

Niu Jizong stood out from the ranks of military honors.

"I appoint you as the deputy commander of the Beijing Camp!"

"Temporarily replace Purple-Robed Marquis Jia Cong to take charge of the Beijing Camp and prepare for war!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Niu Jizong was overjoyed after hearing this.

The other civil and military officials in the court also sighed inwardly.

Everyone knows that the eight dukes and twelve marquises who founded the country are now headed by Jia Cong.

The words "temporarily taking over the military camp in place of Marquis Zi Yi" are enough to explain everything.

Even at this time, Emperor Shunde had to consider Jia Cong's thoughts.

He refused to give up his military power.

There are definitely few people in the court who can enjoy such royal favor.

……

Shandong
Qingzhou Prefecture

Since a few days ago, he set a bait to ambush and kill the Right Protector of Bailian and two martial arts innate-level Dharma Kings.

Jia Cong gathered his troops together again.

This little trick is fine to use once, but using it a second time will only give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage.

They passed through half of Yanzhou Prefecture and wiped out several small gangs of bandits numbering several thousand people.

Reorganize the defeated troops of several garrisons.

Today, the number of troops has increased instead of decreased, and now exceeds 70,000.

"Kong Yanliang from the Qufu Kong family requests to see the Purple-Robed Marquis!"

"Please come here, Marquis Zi Yi, to see me."

During the march that day, a sense of majestic energy rose in the distance.

An old voice came from afar.

"Someone from the Kong family is coming? They are quite patient."

"Ma Ruyue, order the army to continue on their journey. There is no need to stop."

"Sister Bao, come with me to take a look."

Jia Cong stopped and looked into the forest.

"Cong'er, be careful, those who come here have bad intentions."

Baochai reminded worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, there is only one great scholar..."

Jia Cong smiled faintly and patted his mount, the white tiger.

A demonic cloud rose up and carried Jia Cong and Baochai towards the direction where the sound came from.

After flying for more than ten miles, a pavilion on the top of a small hill came into view. Outside the pavilion, a dozen warriors were on guard.

In the pavilion, a small red clay stove was burning, and the tea on it was boiling.

There were also two beautiful maids serving.

Add tea with bare hands.

"I am Kong Yanliang, paying my respects to the Purple-Robed Marquis and Princess Anguo!"

Seeing Jia Cong fall, the great scholar with white hair and beard stood up and bowed to greet him.

"From the Yan generation?"

"Who is Kong Yanjin to you?"

Jia Cong sat down and glanced at the great scholar sent by the Kong family this time.

"I dare not deceive Marquis Zi Yi. In terms of seniority, I am the cousin of Duke Yan Sheng."

"I'm here for my cousin Kong Chengxi."

"Chengxi was young and confused for a moment, so he offended the Purple-Robed Marquis."

"Please, Lord Zi Yi, forgive me this time, considering that this is my first offense."

Kong Yanliang is the cousin of the contemporary Duke Yansheng. He has the strength of a great scholar in the third realm and is blessed with the bloodline of the Great Sage.

His fighting ability is even higher than that of ordinary great scholars.

He is not a well-known figure no matter where he is.

But in front of Jia Cong, she didn't dare to put on airs at all.

As he spoke, he took out several treasures from his collection.

"The Kong family is willing to pay 500,000 taels of silver, 5,000 acres of land outside the city of Shenjing, and five great Confucian treasures as compensation to Marquis Ziyi."

"There are also the thoughts written by my Kong family's ancestor Hongru when he made a breakthrough."

The Kong family's move this time was truly huge.

Five hundred thousand taels of silver is nothing.

Farmland outside the city of Shenjing is becoming increasingly scarce, and five thousand acres is not a small amount for a duke or marquis.

Not to mention the five cultural treasures of great Confucian scholars.

However, the above things are nothing compared to Hongru’s final breakthrough experience.

The great scholars in the world do not say too much, nor too little.

However, there is not a single great scholar of the fourth realm in sight.

This shows how difficult it is to make a breakthrough.

If this great scholar's breakthrough experience were to be taken outside, it would be a treasure whose value could not be measured in terms of money.

"Your Kong family has stood for a thousand years. Dynasties come and go, but the Duke of Yansheng remains forever. Are you trying to use a great scholar to pressure me?"

Jia Cong raised his head calmly, and his half-smile expression made Kong Yanliang tremble in his heart.

He hurriedly explained: "Marquis Zi Yi misunderstood."

“In fact, the patriarch saw that the Purple-Robed Marquis not only cultivated his spirit at the age of nine, but also broke through the realm of a great scholar with his magnanimous words as a gentleman.”

"For the future hope of Confucianism, I was specially asked to pass on the breakthrough experience of my ancestors to Marquis Zi Yi before leaving."

"I hope that one day my Confucianism can produce another great scholar or even a semi-sage."

"Forget it. I don't want to offend the Kong family."

Jia Cong pondered for a moment, and then the sacred seal appeared.

A divine light fell.

Revealing Kong Seung-seok who was sealed by divine power.

"Take the person away with you. The grudge between me and the Kong family will be written off today."

"I have military duties to attend to, so I won't say more to you."

After Jia Cong finished speaking, he stood up, put away the items on the table, and rode away on the tiger with Baochai.

……

"Thank you, Marquis Ziyi. If you have time in the future, you can come to Qufu as a guest."

"The Kong family will welcome him as a guest of honor."

Kong Yanliang was overjoyed.

He hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude and watched Jia Cong leave.

But before we could investigate Kong Chengxi's situation.

There was a loud noise of "Boom!"

The Shinto seal fell from the sky.

He attacked suddenly when the opponent was least alert, before Kong Yanliang could react.

He and the warriors guarding outside the pavilion were all killed and turned into meat paste.

Only Kong Chengxi's divine light emitted a faint glow.

Avoided the fate of being suppressed and killed.

"Qufu Kong Family!"

Jia Cong and Baochai fell from the air again and took a look at the blood and flesh on the ground.

chuckled.

"I am saying that your cleverness may backfire."

"Or is it better to be arrogant and look down on others?"
