Chapter 335
: Famous
Although Tang Feng knew that his actions would arouse dissatisfaction among scholars all over the world and make him a public enemy of many officials, he did not sit idly by and wait for death. He was also saving himself. Since the Kong family relied on the prestige of saints for thousands of years, he would completely ruin the reputation of the Kong family, making those who still want to speak for the Kong family shy to speak, and thus the pressure on the court would be much less.
Once such a decision was made, Tang Feng began to order people to spread all the actions of the Kong family over the past ten or twenty years. The evil they did was witnessed by detailed human witnesses. The results of the incident were very clear and could be believed without exaggeration. The people of Qufu even helped him so hard that they could pass on all the affairs of the Kong family to outside the county and outside the province without any concealment.
Of course, relying solely on the transmission channels of the people is not enough, so Tang Feng once again used the potential power of the Jinyiwei. In recent years, the Jinyiwei has been suppressed by the Dongchang. The power of the Jinyiwei has been much weaker, but their underground power is still very strong. The city foxes, clubs and rats in various places, and those who are most informed, all have a certain relationship with the Jinyiwei. Now, as soon as they take action, the matter quickly spreads to several provinces around Shandong and disperses further away.
Tang Feng sorted out all the crimes committed by the Kong family, and after adding his own judgment, he ordered people to send them to Beijing and handed them over to the court for handling. Anyway, there were reasons to appease the people of Qufu before, and there was so much evidence to prove that the Kong family was indeed unforgivable. Tang Feng didn't believe that there were really some unsightly officials who dared to jump out and criticize him for not being wrong.
After all this was done, Tang Feng returned to Jinan and did the final work of sorting out the chaos in Shandong. Now the county magistrate of Qufu Ge Wei was already respectful and fearful of Tang Feng. He did not expect that this imperial envoy really had such great courage. He eliminated the Kong family in one fell swoop and gave others no room for maneuver, which made him dare not obey Tang Feng anymore. So the Wei Zhongxian's temple, which was originally beside the Confucius Temple, stopped and waited for the orders to be sent before the decision was made. The people of Qufu even regarded Tang Feng as a Buddha of the thousands of families. Regardless of whether the family had been persecuted by the Kong family, they were sincerely grateful that Tang Feng could help him get rid of this harm. When Tang Feng left Qufu with his men, tens of thousands of people went out of the city to see him off, and he sent him for more than ten miles and refused to stop.
Lu An looked at all this and his face was quite moved: "Sir, now I understand why you take such a big risk to do this. Now it seems that everything is worth it."
Tang Feng also smiled: "Yes, officials should do their best to do something for the people, otherwise they will be ashamed of the trust of the court and the salary they receive every year. However, excluding the Kong family, it can only be regarded as the beginning. Now, there are countless princes and nobles in the Ming Dynasty, and the money they consume every year is the long-term burden of my Ming Dynasty!"
Lu An dared not interfere with Tang Feng's statement. He knew that this was the current state and the ancestral system. Not to mention Tang Feng, even Eunuch Wei, who could already call the wind and rain in the court, would not be able to do such a thing, otherwise the world would be in chaos in an instant. But for some reason, Lu An always felt that Tang Feng would solve this problem one day.
The whole Shandong was shocked by Tang Feng's move. They first saw the governor beheaded in the downtown area, and then the Kong family was overturned to the ground. Even the current Yan Shenggong dared to kill him without the consent of the court. How brave and courage does this have to be? Now, no matter whether it is civil or military in Shandong, they dare not ignore Tang Feng, a young imperial envoy. Who can guarantee that if he goes against his will, he will take the same path as He Bichang and Kong Xingxie?
So when Tang Feng returned to Jinan, the officials in the city and the generals who had arrived at Jinan one step earlier all went out to greet him. Although many civil officials were very dissatisfied with Tang Feng's killing of Kong Xingxie, this would have to be revealed after he left Shandong. It would not be too late to impeach him after he submitted a memorial to impeach him.
When Tang Feng saw these many people coming to greet him, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he also understood that this was a great opportunity. He was able to use the officials to fear the situation because of this incident to turn everything in Shandong back on track. So he did not act as modest, and entered Jinan City with great majesty, and then called the military officers of the garrison to the governor's yamen where he stopped.
When Lord Tang came back, he saw him and others. These things had done many wrong things, which made the officers and soldiers of the entire Shandong garrison who were indestructible and the defense was useless. However, Tang Feng did not get angry at them immediately. Instead, he first spoke to them with concern, and then told them about the situation of the garrisons that they had received before. After they left them speechless, he said: "I know that it is not all your fault for the officers and soldiers of the Shandong garrisons to become like this now. However, as commanders of the garrisons, you can do nothing and you cannot shirk them when something major happened in Shandong. I will keep this in my heart. However, I am not unreasonable. As long as you are willing to change your past mistakes and make the officers and soldiers of the garrisons have combat power again, I can take care of you."
What these military officers fear most is that Tang Feng took him down and asked him to punish him without asking anything else. Now seeing that he was willing to let him go, he was very happy and quickly swearing that he would correct his mistakes and would make the officers and soldiers of the garrison return to their previous appearance. Tang Feng just smiled and listened to their words, and finally said: "Your words are now out of sincerity, but this is far from enough. In order to prevent you from forgetting, I will take some measures. All your actions in the army will be seen by me. As long as you resurface again, I will ask the imperial edict to take you down and investigate!"
Although Tang Feng did not mention any means he would look at them, these people now believed that Tang Feng had the ability to stare at his every move, so they all made up their minds. Unless Lord Tang resigned from his official position, they could no longer eat the empty space and drink the blood of soldiers like before. Of course, in addition to caring about Tang Feng, they also made up their minds. This time it was just a rebellion among the people, but if it were a mutiny, they were afraid that they would either die at the hands of the soldiers or beheaded by the court. In order to save their status and lives, they had to compromise.
When things came to this point, Tang Feng felt that he had done almost everything in Shandong. The original rioters were either inspired by the government and returned to their hometowns to become good people, or were defeated and eliminated by the soldiers of the Beijing camp who fought everywhere. With Tang Feng's several decisive actions of killing and attacking, Shandong, which had been in chaos, finally returned to peace again. Some of the remaining problems, such as the governor and the inspector, were not appointed by him, so leave it to the court.
It was time to go back to Beijing, and look at the days, it was mid-December. Now I was rushing back to Beijing, and I could celebrate the New Year with Liu Hui to celebrate the first reunion year of the couple. When I thought of my wife, Tang Feng could no longer sit still. After giving a final lecture to the officials of various yamen in Jinan, Tang Feng took nearly 3,000 Beijing soldiers who looked even more elite and had already experienced the war and left Jinan and returned to Beijing.
Tang Feng guessed that his big move in Shandong this time would inevitably cause criticism and criticism from many officials, but he had decided to fight these people with his own abilities, so he was not too worried. But the matter was not what he thought, because this time he killed the ranks of the imperial court and killed the descendants of the saints. Yansheng Gong Kong Xingxie, the whole world was shocked. Tang Feng's name was not only known in the officialdom, but even ordinary people knew that there was such a fearless good official, and what he did. Of course, this was all due to those of the Jinyiwei who spread the news for him. It was because of them that Tang Feng was famous all over the world.
However, no matter how high the reputation in the opposition is, it cannot stop the attacks of the officials in the court from him. These people were already jealous and hated Tang Feng. He changed from a seventh-rank county magistrate to a celebrity around Eunuch Wei, which was unacceptable to those who wanted to curry favor with the eunuch party. However, because of his special status and the defeat of Cui Chengxiu, these people still dare not have any objections. But this time it was different. Tang Feng offended scholars all over the world, and these people found excuses to attack him. Therefore, every day, the Tongzhengsi would receive dozens of bullet stamps, all of which impeached Tang Feng.
In addition, some people are also attacking Tang Feng, namely the Hanlin Academy of Hanlin Academy and the students of the Imperial College. Compared with those officials, these people have a clearer purpose, that is, they want to breathe a sigh of relief for the saints. A person who even the descendants of the saints dare to offend is definitely not a good person. However, the power of these people is limited after all. After all, they are only half of the officialdom, and their greatest ability has no effect on the influence of public opinion now. The people regard Tang Feng as the blue sky.
However, for some reasons, neither the officials’ memorials nor the students’ remarks nor the Hanlins’ remarks made any statements by Eunuch Wei, who is in charge of everything, and he seemed to have not heard of these things at all. This made some backbone of the eunuch party not write a letter to impeach Tang Feng, but what they were thinking was unknown.
