Chapter one hundred and nineteenth secret hand
Give him a peach and repay him a plum. Since ancient times, Chinese people have paid attention to the rituals and exchanges. Even if an emperor or a saint is not allowed to escape the valley.
Chongzhen conferred Kong Zhenyun as Yansheng Gong and asked the Southern Sect to regain control of the Kong Mansion. This is a great gift and I have to go back. If there is no such thing, who will take you to play next time? This is what is important in the officialdom. Only those who value kindness can go far in the officialdom. Those who only know how to calculate interests have long been killed by those who are more proficient in calculating, and there is no left of slag.
After the three orders, Kong Zhenyun, the Yansheng Gong, who had no choice but to follow the imperial edict, was about to leave the capital and go to the Confucius Mansion. Before leaving, Gong Gong submitted a memorial, asking Chongzhen to be respected as the "grand master of Confucianism."
The reason is very simple. Chongzhen was a good scholar and polite. He had some insights into the words of the saints - although no one knew what kind of opinions he had.
After repeated push, Chongzhen saw that Yan Shenggong had made up his mind and seemed to have not gained such a title, so he was about to kill him in the Golden Palace. Emperor Chongzhen, who was afraid that Yan Shenggong would have something unexpected, had to take on such a title with shame. This also means that in front of the scholars in the world, Chongzhen was a new generation of Confucian master recognized by the saints.
The ministers in the court all looked happy when they saw Chongzhen. Only the Empress Zhou in the harem knew what Chongzhen had reacted after taking on this title: "That's my mother! The old man deceived me too much!"
Empress Zhou was quite puzzled. If it were common sense, even Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Chengzu did not receive such honorific title from the Kong family. How could Chongzhen be furious?
After all, it is a husband and wife. Empress Zhou, who cares about Chongzhen's body, advised him: "If Your Majesty is not happy, you will be this title. But this great master of Confucianism is the one who is in the Yansheng Gong after all. Doesn't it also represent the recognition of Your Majesty by the scholars of the world?"
Chongzhen sneered, "Acknowledge it? I need these scumbags to recognize it. What kind of title is the great master of Confucianism? No one has ever obtained it before. Giving me such a title is obviously to disgust me."
Empress Zhou curiously said, "I am a little scholar, Your Majesty should not deceive me. It has been nearly three hundred years since Emperor Gao of Emperor Longxing. How has any ancestor ever received such a title?"
Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, no emperor has ever obtained it in my Ming Dynasty. Hehe, this old man deceived me and studied a little bitch. What kind of bullshit title was the pseudo Yuan Dynasty. Yuan Hao asked the shameless person to give the pseudo Khan Kublai. The old man expected that I would not do anything to him now, so he used the title of the previous dynasty to disgust me, and he should be punished!"
Until the morning of the next day, Chongzhen told Xu Xianchun to see Wang Chengen and others, and there was no one there except the almost inseparable leader Fang Zhenghua.
"I heard that in Mongolia and Tibet, there is a kind of fierce dog called a mastiff. It only recognizes one owner in its lifetime, and no matter how the owner beats and scolds him, he will never change his loyalty."
Xu Xianchun is actually a little confused. If His Majesty wants this kind of dog, he can get it for His Majesty. But now he talks to himself alone, it shows that this kind of dog is not as simple as trying to get one for fun.
With blessings in his heart, Xu Xianchun replied: "Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei is Your Majesty's mastiff. Whoever you say you will bite you will definitely bite to death. No matter how much your Majesty beat and scold you, there will be no complaints."
Chongzhen nodded, then said lightly: "I have something to tell you to do. You don't need to go there in person, but the manpower must be reliable. You must have no elderly or young people."
Xu Xianchun thought for a moment, then a list was sifted out in his mind, and he bowed and replied: "There are many of these guards in the factory, who specialize in doing some unlucky tasks. I just don't know what His Majesty wants these soldiers to do?"
Chongzhen said with a smile: "Zheng said, repay kindness with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness. But these bastards dare to tamper with virtue and repay grievances with virtue! I don't know what he thought about Confucius's knowledge in the spring."
Xu Xianchun did not respond. Such words were obviously not something he could accept. He would lose more words. He was the sharp blade in the hands of the emperor. He could just follow the emperor's instructions to do things - weapons cannot have their own thoughts.
Chongzhen was obviously very satisfied with Xu Xianchun's performance all the time, and then said, "I have heard of many methods in the Jinyiwei when I was still in the residence. This time, I want you to assign a few people to come up with these methods."
Xu Xianchun bowed and said, "Please give me instructions."
Chongzhen nodded and continued, "I will issue an order today to arrange for the Jinyiwei to escort Yan Shenggong to the south, and then return to Confucius's mansion after welcoming the coffin and skeletons of the ancestors."
Xu Xianchun still bent and said nothing. Emperor Chongzhen obviously hadn't finished his words. If only this were the case, the emperor would not have said what he had just said to himself alone.
Sure enough, Chongzhen continued, "When Kong Zhen arrived at the Kong Mansion and attacked the title, he asked the personnel you arranged to cause an accident. Whether he died of drinking cold water or sleeping, he wanted him not to see the sun the next day after the title, do you understand?"
Slight sweat had already appeared on Xu Xianchun's forehead. If Xu Xianchun, who had always claimed to be a loyal dog, had such a chance to play alone, he would have been so happy that he would not be able to find Bei. However, today, if there is a little possibility, he would rather not hear anything today than know anything, so that he would not feel like he was as scared as he is now.
No matter how thrilled he was in his heart, Xu Xianchun still responded: "I understand. I dare to ask Your Majesty, what will happen afterwards?"
Chongzhen continued: "Afterwards, let someone create evidence and point the finger at the Northern Sect to commit crimes, but it should not be too obvious. Try to provoke him, the two northern and southern Sects of the Kong clan, to fight first."
Xu Xianchun continued: "You dare to ask Your Majesty, can anyone who acts must keep their words?"
Chongzhen hesitated a little. If he did not keep his words, there would inevitably be a risk of leaking the news. If he kept the actions from being banned, it would be a pity for these loyal Jinyiwei to feel embarrassed for a moment.
After pondering for a while, Chongzhen said, "Forget it, we will arrange for these people to go to Liaodong to join the army, and then choose the best among the seedlings to receive the incense and give them generous pensions."
Xu Xianchun understood it and bowed again and replied: "I understand that I will definitely do the things properly."
Chongzhen nodded and then said, "Do it well and do nothing wrong."
After Xu Xianchun received the order and left, Chongzhen murmured to himself: "Duke Xiang regained his hatred for nine generations, and it will be great for the Spring and Autumn Period. I will take revenge and must not be separated by night!"
