Father can be an enemy to the country

While talking, Gao Tie brought Yan Shenggong and Meng Keren in, and the two of them practiced etiquette honestly.

In fact, because of his identity as Kong Ne, it would have made sense for him to only bow and not kowtow. But after letting Lao Liu take care of it now, how could he dare to give the other party another chance to do something about himself?

"Please get up, both of you." Zhu Zhen did not continue to make trouble, but gave the two of them a seat, served tea, and then said to them with a pleasant look: "I have met Yan Shenggong since I first came here, and Dr. Meng is the first one." See you."

"I am a low-ranking official. I don't dare to ask for an audience without being summoned by the prince." Meng Keren said sarcastically.

"Hey, you can't say that. Everyone respects you not because of your official position." Zhu Zhen waved his hands and smiled: "I heard that Mencius' hometown is also in Yanzhou. I should have visited him in person like I went to Confucius' mansion, but I didn’t expect this to happen, so I had to invite you two here in a hurry.”

"How dare you." Meng Keren knew that based on the attitude of the old Zhu family towards his ancestor, the Sixth Prince was only polite.

"Then let's stop talking." After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhu Zhen got down to the topic and said, "You two must already be aware of what has happened in the province recently, and I invited you here just to ask for advice."

"..." Kong and Ne looked at each other, thinking that he seemed to be unaware.

"If the prince has any questions, we and I will naturally tell you everything." Kong Ne then cupped his hands and said, "It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and we are still confused. I'm afraid we won't be able to answer all the prince's questions."

Hu, Rang, and Wu Yin both frowned secretly after hearing this, thinking that Duke Yan Sheng was too crazy. Who can answer questions for others? As a prince, can’t you hear it?

Zhu Zhen's face did not change, and he still smiled and said: "Yan Shenggong is too humble. With the status of the Confucius and Mencius Family in Shandong, as long as you want to know something, you will definitely know it."

"Your Highness has given you too much praise, but our two families are not that powerful." Kong Ne smiled and shook his head: "We still don't know everything about Qufu and Zouxian, and we are even more foggy about the affairs of the Waifu."

"Of course, if the prince needs us to inquire on his behalf, the two of us will do our best to help the prince understand something." He changed the subject and said, "I just can't guarantee that we will be able to find out."

"Yes, that's true." Meng Keren nodded in agreement. I thought that the Holy Father really meant what he said, and he implemented the "Three Nos" policy in just a few words.

Sure enough, when Zhu Zhen asked questions, Kong Ne started talking to him, saying "probably", "maybe", "I don't know". He was stunned for a long time but said nothing useful.

In fact, he could have revealed something, but since Zhu Zhen humiliated him, he resorted to non-violent non-cooperation.

Hu Rang and Wu Yin were secretly anxious after hearing this, thinking that Duke Yan Sheng was doing Tai Chi in a fog like this. It was really difficult for the prince to have an attack, but how could he disenchant him.

But they underestimated Zhu Zhen. When it came to finding trouble, he claimed to be second, while no one dared to say he was first.

Then he saw Zhu Zhen take a sip of tea, put down the tea cup and said: "Okay, since Duke Yan is not clear about these things, let's first tell you something that Duke Yan is clear about."

"Of course I know everything." Kong Na also picked up the tea cup and gently used the lid to skim the foam, as if he was an old god.

"You must know..." Zhu Zhen said leisurely: "Because what I want to ask is the relationship between Nan Kong and Beikong."

"..." Kong Na shook his hand when he heard this, and the tea soup spilled on the white crane on his chest.

Several people around him were also stunned, never expecting that the prince would attack from this angle.

"It's like this." Zhu Zhen said still calmly: "A few days ago, a man named Kong Xilu posted a message asking for an audience, claiming to be the fifty-sixth generation grandson of Confucius. I found it strange that Confucius' Shouldn't the fifty-sixth generation grandson be your father? Who is this Kong Xilu? I was idle at that time, so I called him in for a chat. "

As he spoke, he smiled at Kong Ne and said, "Oh, what I want is that if he is a fake, I will expose him and send him to the government."

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty." Kong Ne wanted to laugh, but couldn't. For a moment, he thought of endless troubles and various terrible consequences, and his head was buzzing, one as big as two.

"Don't thank me yet." Zhu Zhen sighed and said: "After chatting with him, I was a little confused. I couldn't understand what was going on in the south and north, so I let him stay first and put the You call me over to find out the situation and then deal with it.”

As he spoke, he looked at Kong Ne with a smile: "Please ask Yan Shenggong to tell you personally about the origin of the South and North Kongs. You don't know this, right?"

"Well, it's a long story..." Kong Ne took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a forced smile: "Anyway, it's all old news. If the prince is interested, I can tell you slowly in the future. Now let’s focus on the present and discuss how to calm down the chaos in Shandong.”

"Yes, I thought so at the beginning." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "But Yan Shenggong didn't know all the questions. He said in his heart that you can't let your trip be in vain. At least let's solve the problem, right? "

"Yes... no, no." Kong Ne was still young after all, and was confused by Lao Liu's few words. He kept wiping his sweat and said: "Although I don't know the inside story, I can find out the same thing. Let's discuss a charter. , I’ll do it when I get back.”

"What do I have to discuss with you?" Zhu Zhen said calmly.

The temperature in the hall dropped sharply, and only Yan Shenggong was still wiping sweat.

"Don't you know very little about Qufu's affairs, and you know nothing about Waifu's affairs?" Zhu Zhen slowed down his tone again and said with a smile: "So when I discuss these matters with you, don't you ask Yu Blind? ?”

Kong Na was silenced by Zhu Zhen's own words. Meng Keren on the side quickly made up for him: "Prince Rong Bing, Yan Shenggong's words are modest and cannot be taken seriously. He must still know Something.”

"Then someone insists on pretending to be confused with me here, just to make fun of me?" Zhu Zhen's smile gradually became colder and said: "Do I seem to be someone who can joke?"

"Of course not, no." The two shook their heads quickly.

"Stand up!" Zhu Zhen clapped his hands at the table next to him, and the two of them stood up quickly in fright.

"Remove your seat!" Zhu Zhen's face sank again, and he ordered again: "You are not worthy of having a seat in front of me if you give me a shameless thing!"

The chamberlain then came in and removed the lazi behind the two of them.

Kong Ne's face turned green and white. He had never been so embarrassed in his life. Not only was he being trained as a grandson, but he was also removed from his seat on the spot. If this was reported back, the Kong family would scold him to death.

"Okay, if the prince wants to discuss the southern and northern pores, let's discuss it." Thinking of this, he also took the initiative, no longer caring about the consequences, and directly confronted Lao Liu: "I don't want to mention this matter, but it's just It’s just that I don’t want to talk about my family affairs with outsiders. It’s not that the prince thinks he can take advantage of my family troubles!”
