Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

But Mr. Kong frowned and said: "Don't worry, my lord. After all, we haven't reached that point yet, so let's just wait and see what happens. Kong will go out and get in touch to see if we can jointly write a letter to let the emperor release Mr. Wen."

Wen Yan knew in her heart that she was afraid that her family would also become an abandoned child.It's just that I can't afford to offend the person in front of me after all, so I just smiled wryly and said, "I'll have to trouble Mr. Kong for everything."

Mr. Kong made another accusation, and then left the study.

It's just that Mr. Kong was turned around by several captains of Jinyiwei just after he walked out of the gate of Wenfu.The leader sneered and said, "You obediently follow us, or should the elders serve you?"

Mr. Kong was not afraid at all, and said: "You are acting recklessly at the feet of the emperor, do you still have the king's law in your eyes?"

Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi, who was the leader, smiled nonchalantly: "Wang Fa? I am a dignified son of the emperor who is in the army and works for the emperor. Isn't that what he does? Are you talking about Wang Fa with Lao Tzu? Have you never read a book?"

Mr. Kong said: "Even if you are arrogant for a while, how long can you be arrogant? Can't you see what happened to Ji Gang during the Yongle period?"

The little flag of Jinyiwei was dumbfounded when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Ji Gang? Are you fucking stupid in reading? Do you know what the emperor is close to the army? I tell you that the emperor is close to the army, which means right and wrong, life and death Forget, only the Son of Heaven is in my heart. The Son of Heaven wants me to live, and I will live; the Son of Heaven wants me to die, and I will die.”

After finishing speaking, seeing someone pointing and pointing from a distance nearby, the little flag said loudly: "Jin Yiwei is ordered to arrest people, if it is irrelevant, don't watch around, so as not to misunderstand everyone, it will not look good."

Seeing that everyone had dispersed and stopped watching, Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Sir, please?"

But Mr. Kong said: "Do you know who I am? I'm afraid this prison is easy to enter, and if you want someone to come out again, it's not so easy to invite."

The little flag also smiled when he heard the words: "I don't know who the gentleman is, and I didn't get up to know. The more we know, the more dangerous we are. We are not children. Who doesn't know? As for the bad, please come out, Mr. That's not what I, a small flag, should care about, stop talking nonsense, please!"

When Mr. Kong heard the words, he knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so he snorted coldly, and followed the little flag to the prison.

When he arrived at the prison, Mr. Kong was taken directly to the cell inside.It's just that when passing by the cell where Wen Tiren was, Mr. Kong read the pity, resentment, and the meaning of his own jokes from Wen Tiren's eyes looking at him. He didn't let himself have any eye contact with Wen Tiren, so he just pushed him suddenly and shouted: "Go!"

Mr. Kong stared back angrily, but in return he pushed harder.Seeing that he couldn't think about it, he had no choice but to move forward.

It's just that in the innermost cell, I saw a person who had never even thought about it, and even yelled out my identity: "Mr. Kong, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Chapter 1 Three Questions of Huayi

When Mr. Kong heard someone calling himself Zhen and saying that he had been waiting for him for a long time, he raised his head and saw that it was the Emperor Chongzhen who was sitting there with a book in his hand and looking at him with a smile?

Shocked, Mr. Kong hurriedly knelt down on the ground and shouted long live: "Student Kong Xingxie, see my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

After Kong Xingxie finished saluting, Chongzhen said calmly: "Mr. Kong, get up. I ordered people to invite Mr. Kong here, and I have some doubts. I want to ask Mr. Kong to explain my doubts."

Kong Xingxie stood up immediately, but he knew in his heart that if there was no good banquet, there would be no good meeting, and today's matter might not be good.Although he was full of slander, but the emperor opened his mouth, Kong Xingxie couldn't help but not answer, so he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please speak, the students know everything."

But Chongzhen said to Wang Cheng'en who was standing behind him: "Mr. Kong and I will have a few drinks here, and order someone to bring some wine and food over."

After Wang Chengen took the order to retreat, Chongzhen said: "There is no hurry. I have a lot of questions, let's talk while eating later." After speaking, he ignored Kong Xingxie and just quietly waited for the food and drink to be served .

After half an hour, the food and wine were brought in, and Chongzhen said: "Go and bring a stool for Mr. Kong." Then he said to Kong Xingxie: "Look at my memory, I forgot to ask Mr. Kong to sit down first. Take a break, and hope Mr. Kong doesn't take it to heart."

Kong Xingxie thought, I'm afraid it's not because you forgot, but because you did it on purpose?On the face, he responded quite respectfully: "Students dare not." After giving another salute, he sat half his body on the stool. No matter in etiquette or demeanor, he was quite chic, which made people feel unrestrained. Can't fault it.

Chongzhen picked up his wine glass and said, "Come, Mr. Kong, please have a drink first, and answer my first question."

Kong Xingxie hurriedly saluted and said: "Students should not be treated so generously by His Majesty, it is a disgrace to the students. I wonder if Your Majesty has any questions? The students know everything."

Chongzhen snorted, drank the wine in the cup first, and then asked: "My first question is Mr. Kong, or how does the sage theory treat the distinction between Hua and Barbarians? "

Kong Xingxie said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the son said that the rulers of the Yi and Di are not as good as the death of the Xias. This is from "The Analects of Confucius Ba Yan", and the "Spring and Autumn" also has a cloud. And the barbarians are the barbarians. Therefore, the students think that the barbarians are also barbarians, and they should be educated by sages so that they can learn and learn."

Chongzhen hummed, raised his glass again and said, "Is this the second question, what does Mr. Kong think of Yide's complaint?"

As a descendant of Confucius, how could Kong Xingxie not know this idiom from "The Analects of Confucius Xianwen"?Although he usually talks about repaying grievances with virtue, Kong Xingxie clearly knows the complete version of this sentence: "Or say: 'Repaying grievances with virtue, how about it?' Confucius said: "How to repay virtue?Repay grievances with straightness, and repay virtue with kindness. "

Kong Xingxie's thoughts changed, but he had to answer Chongzhen's question, so he bit the bullet and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, repaying grievances with virtue comes from Xian's question, Master said, repay grievances with straightness, and repay virtue with virtue."

Chongzhen smiled, and then asked: "Then, what about repaying virtue with resentment? So what?"

By this time, Kong Xingxie was already dripping with cold sweat. Although it was not yet March and the weather was quite chilly, Kong Xingxie felt that the clothes on his body were wet with cold sweat, sticky and uncomfortable.

As a last resort, Kong Xingxie could only reply: "Returning to Your Majesty, repaying virtue with resentment comes from "Mandarin Zhouyu". Repaying virtue with resentment is not benevolent."

Chongzhen continued: "Okay. I still have a few questions, which are related to the above questions. I hope Mr. Kong can teach me something."

Kong Xingxie's heart was terrified, the words had reached this point, he was afraid that the next moment would be when Tu Qiong appeared, although his body was still sitting upright, his thighs were trembling, if he was not afraid of being rude to the king, he was afraid At this time, Kong Xingxie was so frightened that he lost control.

Chongzhen turned a blind eye to Kong Xingxie's awkward appearance, and drank another cup, but inexplicably chanted, "Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death? Flying guests from all over the world, Lao Chi has several cold and heat. Fun, parting Bitter, there are even more idiots. You should have something to say, the clouds are ten thousand miles away, the mountains are snowy at dusk, who will the shadow go to?

Hengfen Road, lonely in those days with the flute and drums, the barren smoke is still calm.Conjuring souls, He Yiji, mountain ghosts cry in the wind and rain.The sky is also jealous, but does not believe in it, Ying’er and swallows are all loess.For thousands of years, in order to keep the Sao people, they sang and drank wildly, and visited Yanqiu. "

After finishing the poem Touching the Fish·Yanqiu, Chongzhen threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground in a somewhat frenzied way, and laughed wildly a few times.At this moment, Kong Xingxie couldn't sit still anymore, his knees softened, and he knelt down on the ground.

Jin Yiwei outside heard the commotion, but more than a dozen people came rushing in, and surrounded Kong Xingxie, fearing that this person would learn from Jing Ke and hurt Chongzhen.Unexpectedly, Chongzhen pointed his finger outside and shouted: "Get out! Don't come in without my will."

After the many Jinyi guards retreated, Chongzhen looked at Kong Xingxie who was kneeling on the ground and sneered: "When I first read this Yanqiu Ci, I only felt that the artistic conception in it was extremely beautiful. .I thought that the person who did this word should be a generation of great Confucianism."

As soon as the voice changed, Chongzhen continued to ask: "What does Mr. Kong think of Kublai Khan?"

Kong Xingxie said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, although Kublai Khan is a barbarian, he can also be called a hero of a generation. He is also good at reading poetry and books. Mr. Yi Shan also respects him as a great master of Confucianism."

Chongzhen sneered and said, "That's right. What a great master of Confucianism. From the perspective of Mr. Kong, can I be called a great master of Confucianism?"

Kong Xingxie became more and more timid at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Students have heard that your Majesty is both civil and military, and he can't put down his books on weekdays. Of course, he can be called a great master of Confucianism."

Chongzhen said: "Well, it doesn't matter if you don't release the book. I just like to read some miscellaneous books."

After finishing speaking, he flipped through the book in his hand and read: "The people of Shu died. They gathered 50 people and stabbed them all with knives. They piled up their corpses. At dusk, if they were not dead, they stabbed them again. The bones in the city 140 million, excluding those outside the city."

After reading it, Chongzhen sneered, "Does Mr. Kong know this book?"

Kong Xingxie said: "Students probably remember that it seems to be "CD Record" written by Mr. He Qingquan."

Chongzhen hummed again, and said: "Mr. Kong really reads a lot, and he has even read such miscellaneous books. He is worthy of being a talented person who is most valued by Duke Yan. After a word, Wei Guanzhong, I was sent to the left. I don’t know what to explain this statement?”

Chapter 1 Thirteen There Are Such Brazen People in the World

Hearing the question asked by Chongzhen, Kong Xingxie became more and more sure of the guess in his heart, and now he was unarmed, and behind Chongzhen there was a strong dead eunuch watching over him, and there were many guards in royal clothes outside, so he wanted to give it a go. I am afraid that there will be no other end except death.What's more, Chongzhen once led a personal conquest, chasing and killing Jiannu to the outside of the pass. Who doesn't know that today is a good martial artist?

Thinking of this, I am afraid that only the identity of my next generation, Yan Shenggong, can save my life.Kong Xingxie answered Chongzhen's question in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the meaning of the ancestors is to praise Guan Zi for assisting Duke Huan of Qi and protecting the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If it weren't for Guan Zi, I am afraid that the Great Zhou Dynasty would be full of smells and the land of Shenzhou would sink."

Chongzhen grunted, and said, "That's right. From this, it can be seen that Confucius attached great importance to the distinction between Hua and Barbarians. I'm not wrong, am I?"

Kong Xingxie said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. The distinction between Hua and Yi is a great defense."

Chongzhen said: "Well. In the early Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng also said that Yi and Di are not my race, their hearts must be different, strong must be bandits, weak and humble, disregarding kindness, their nature is also. That is the former Song Dynasty Su Xueshi also once said that barbarians and di people cannot be governed like China, just like animals."

After a pause, after giving Kong Xingxie some time to think, Chongzhen continued: "So I am very curious, what does Yuan Haowen think? Huh?! Respect Kublai Khan as the great master of Confucianism? I know Shi Quan, I don’t know if you will be so angry that you will die again? Huh?!”

Kong Xingxie knelt on the ground, already profusely sweating.Although Chongzhen was talking about Yuan Haowen, he was afraid that he was also talking about people from the Kong family of Beizong.According to Chongzhen's current meaning of what is inside and outside the words, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Beizong to win favor.

Before Kong Xingxie could come up with any words, he heard Chongzhen continue: "I looked through the history books and found that since Kong Zhen began, he was conferred the title of Lord Yansheng by the canonization of Meng Yuan. The original Lord Yansheng, Kong Zhu, The pulse is crossing south. I am also very curious, it is also canonized by Meng Yuan, how can Kong Zhu's line be able to cross to the south? You Kong Zhen's line can be canonized by Meng Yuan with peace of mind?"
