Father can be an enemy to the country

In fact, Zhu Zhen had never met Kong Xilu at all. He had only heard of such a person who had come to Beijing several times to write letters in the past ten years or so, asking the court to give Nan Kong the treatment he deserved.

However, Zhu Zhen had always been very cold to the Kong family, so he ignored it. He only learned about this public case when he had someone investigate the Kong family a while ago.

Zhu Zhen suddenly felt as if he had found a treasure. This was simply the best tool for grasping Yan Shenggong. That's why he didn't care about the situation and grabbed Yan Shenggong first.

"Why don't you speak? If you don't speak, you are acquiescing?" Zhu Zhen looked at Kong Ne calmly.

"No." Kong Ne hurriedly shook his head and said bravely: "At that time, Kong Zhugong had already made his descendants swear an oath not to compete with the Holy Duke!"

"But what Kong Xilu said is that Kong Zhu just didn't let them be the Yan Shenggong of the Yuan Dynasty, but he didn't say he wouldn't let them be the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Zhen said unhurriedly: "At least I think Kong Xilu There is nothing wrong with that - the Kong family was granted the title of Yanshenggong in the Song Dynasty, and he served as the Duke of Yansheng for six times after moving south. It can be said that he has always been with the Song Dynasty. If he continues to be the Duke of Yansheng in the Yuan Dynasty, normal people will feel uncomfortable. "

"..." Kong Ne's face turned red when he said this. The ancestors of his branch started their careers as Duke Dangyan of the Yuan Dynasty.

Their Beizong was indeed relatively unruly, and there was also a branch that started the Jin Dynasty as Holy Duke Dangyan, but they were successfully torn apart by their branch.

This is one of the reasons why Nanzong has always looked down on them.

"But it's different now. Now that China has been restored and the Han family is rejuvenated, it's only natural that they are willing to serve as officials." Zhu Zhen continued: "And it is a grand event for the country, so we should give it a grand welcome!"

"But the emperor has decided that we Beikong will inherit Duke Yan." Kong Ne could no longer find a basis from history and tradition, so he could only rely on Boss Zhu's decision. "And Kong Xilu has written letters not once or twice, but didn't the emperor ignore him?"

"The reason is very simple." Zhu Zhen said solemnly: "When you named your father Yanshenggong, it was mainly because your father was so good at it. He surrendered just after the army forward arrived in Shandong. In addition, he did not understand the situation in Nankong at that time. Therefore, it is natural for my father to confer the title of Duke Yan to your father.”

"Later I learned about the situation in Nankong, but considering that the Yi family has been working for hundreds of years, it is at least popular among the people in the north. Besides, your father is also respectful and obedient to my father. He finds it troublesome when he comes, and he doesn't like it when he comes. I am very satisfied with your father, so he ignores people in Nankong."

As he said that, he glanced at Kong Ne with disgust and said quietly: "But now your father is gone. Moreover, during the time when I came to Yanzhou, there were many people from the Kong family who sued you."

Zhu Zhen pointed to the big box beside the table and said in a deep voice: "This is just a part of it. It already includes occupying people's land, bullying men and women, selling officials and titles, evading taxes, disregarding human lives, supporting private armies, exceeding regulations, etc." Ten counts."

"It's such a mess, it makes people full of indignation! I think the pair of big stone lions outside your house in Beikong are clean!" Zhu Zhen raised his voice and said: "It's time for the people in Nankong to bring their ancestors back to their clan and revive the family tradition. "

"Don't do it!" Kong Ne finally believed that the Sixth Prince was determined to deal with him, rather than simply threatening him. His own family knew about his own affairs, but the old Kong family was so shitty, how could they withstand an investigation?

In fact, there is no need to check at all. As soon as Lao Liu's people leave, the room that lost power in the struggle will jump out and blast the dirty information about their room. At that time, the court will have to consider whether to make those crimes that refresh the three views and have no lower limit public to the public, so as not to completely destroy the living monument of Yan Shenggong.

Kong Ne finally softened completely. He lifted up his official robe, knelt on his knees, patted his chest and expressed his stance:

"I promise, I will be completely obedient to the emperor and the prince! No, I can be more obedient than my father. I will do whatever the prince asks me to do. I will definitely be the most loyal lackey of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Okay, then I will ask you again!" Zhu Zhen nodded and asked word for word: "Does this Qilu Civil War have anything to do with your Kong family?"

"No..." Kong Na was about to refuse to admit it. Zhu Zhen slammed the table and said sternly: "Think it over for me before you speak! If even one word is untrue, I will personally come to your Kong Mansion to take charge. Those dirty things in Beikong must be investigated thoroughly!"

"This..." Kong Naden didn't dare to shake his head anymore. His lips moved for a while before he made up his mind and said, "Please, Your Majesty, step aside."

"Just say it here!" Zhu Zhen nodded at the table: "Meng Keren is your follower, and I will not hide it from Hu Fantai and Wu Zhitai."

"Alas..." Kong Na said in his heart that he was really embarrassed today. But he was aware of the importance and knew that the most important thing for Beikong was to prevent Nankong from making a comeback. As long as the position of Yan Shenggong is preserved, all other matters can be reduced to trivial matters...

So he nodded with difficulty and said: "Our two families did know about it in advance, but we never expected that it would cause such a big fuss."

"Why don't we recruit him from the ground up!" Zhu Zhen shouted.

"Yes, that's what happened." Kong Ne sighed and said, "Two months ago, Master Wang from the Ming Dynasty suddenly arrived in Qufu. This Master Wang had great supernatural powers. He was a powerful figure in the north in the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that he also followed Wang Baobao is a brother-in-law. His greatest ability is to establish a Taoism. Others spend their whole life building a Taoist sect, but he can create a Taoist sect in a year, and he can still do well. "

Zhu Zhenxin said that only by mastering the core gameplay and understanding the underlying logic can fission be quickly achieved...

"It is no exaggeration to say that most of the Huidao sects in Shandong are his masterpieces, and the leaders and sect leaders are all his disciples and grandchildren." Kong Ne continued: "Who dares to offend such an evil person? I met him. He, in the end, he said straight to the point that he was here on behalf of the King of Qi. "

"..." Zhu Zhen raised his eyebrows, knowing that the drama was coming.

"He said that His Highness King Qi's brother and mother and concubine had accidents one after another, and he himself was in deep crisis. So in order to rescue his brother, mother and concubine, and to save himself, he decided to direct and act in a play." Kong Ne added:

"The specific thing is to mobilize the people to oppose King Lu's atrocities. As long as the scale of the popular uprising is large enough, the court will have to rely on him, a prince who is good at military strategy, to quell the rebellion. Naturally, they will not target him again. If he has performed meritorious services, he can still Please forgive his mother, concubine and eighth brother."

"But King Lu's atrocities are limited to Yanzhou. It is difficult for the people of Beipu to empathize with him, and they would not follow him to make trouble." Kong Na said: "If it were just a civil uprising in Yanzhou, the imperial court would never let him live in Qingzhou. The prince came to quell the rebellion."

"So he needs someone to help him publicize King Lu's atrocities throughout the province, so that the scale of the popular uprising will be large enough. To do this kind of thing, there is no more suitable person than the leader Wang, but he needs the consent of our two families. "Kong Na hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but cheer up and said:

"In Shandong, it is very difficult to accomplish something that our two families are firmly opposed to."
