Chapter 712 Crazy Kong Family

"Not good, no good, the Jinyiwei Ti cavalry broke into Qufu City! Go straight to Confucius Temple!"

When Kong Xingxie, a contemporary Yansheng Gong who was enjoying dance music in the mansion, heard it, he immediately shouted "Not good". Then he took people to the Confucius Temple in a panic.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

The anxious Kong Xingxie urged all the way, his face full of worry.

The reason why he liked it so much was that he knew that the tablets in the Confucius Temple worshiped were all tablets from the previous dynasty!

Why did the Kong family do this?

It is not that Emperor Shizong was blamed for insisting on attacking the Confucius family: Confucius no longer called "The Greatest Saint Wenxuan King" but changed to "The Greatest Saint and the First Teacher"; the place where worshipped Confucius was no longer called a temple, but changed to a temple; the statue of Confucius was sacrificed to a statue of Confucius was changed to a tablet of Confucius; the simplification of sacrificial rituals, and all sacrifices and rituals and music were demoted; Confucius' disciples also abolished the title of Duke and Marquis and Bo, and were renamed as sages and scholars.

It is precisely because of this that King Kong became Confucius Saint, and Confucius Hall became Confucius Temple!

Although Emperor Shizong stripped Confucius of his title and the kings of Confucius Temple in the whole country became saints, in Qufu, the Kong family still stubbornly worshiped the kings of the previous dynasty.

As for the Sejong sealed... we don't need it.

This is the act of becoming king with a closed door.

In the past, the imperial court turned a blind eye and ignored it. All officials were "sacred disciples" and naturally they had to sell their ancestors' face and turned a blind eye.

But after all, I'm still guilty.

So once a court official worships the temple, the Kong family will exchange all the god lord tablets in the hall.

A few years ago, when the Jinyiwei Tiqi dispatched various places to clear out the Tukemen to maintain public order, his father, who was the one who asked his son for the second-rank official robe from the Ming Dynasty, and then surrendered to Kong Yanzhi of the Qing Dynasty, and hurriedly changed the tablet, for fear that the Jinyiwei would find the tablet of the Kong family worshipped the previous dynasty.

But after two years, it was discovered that the Jinyiwei came to maintain public order and ignored their Kong family at all, so he put the tablets of the previous dynasty again.

The Great Successful Holy King of Wenxuan!

How awesome is this title!

But this awesome title was from the previous dynasty.

I hope, I hope that those Jinyiwei did not go for the tablet!

“Hurry up, hurry up…”

The urging sedan chairmen could only grit their teeth and speed up, carrying Yan Shenggong all the way, making this guy feel dizzy.

Finally, after running for a while, the sedan chairwoman panted and said:

"Master, it's coming soon."

When he opened the curtain of the sedan chair, Kong Xingxie saw that the gate of the Confucius Temple was full of people. He immediately shouted:

"Still the sedan chair, the sedan chair!"

Before the sedan chair could stop, Kong Xingxie jumped down and ran all the way and shouted:

"Who gathers in front of the temple!"

I happened to meet Kong Yunchun, who was also panicked, and then faced him in person.

"Master, something big happened!"

...

Those who gathered were either other people, or the children of the Kong family.

A few minutes ago, after passing through the city gate like a gust of wind, Ding Kang led a group of squadrons to the Confucius Temple.

Such a group of Jinyiwei cavalry broke in, which immediately aroused people's curiosity.

Chinese people like to watch the fun, and the children of the Kong family are no exception. So they all joined in the fun.

As soon as these Jinyiwei cavalry arrived at the Confucius Temple, they rushed in swarms. The Confucius family and the servants didn't react. Who would have thought that someone would dare to rush into the Confucius Temple?

Kong Yunchun, who followed behind, was also stunned. What do these people want to do?

While they were stunned, Ding Kang had already led his men into the main hall.

The tablets placed there were indeed not the "Supreme Master" conferred by Emperor Shizong, but the "Dacheng Supreme Saint Wenxuan King" of the Yuan Dynasty!

Ding Kang immediately roared:

"The Confucius family in Qufu intends to rebel, and the evidence is conclusive!"

Then he ordered the Tiqi to occupy the main hall of Confucius Temple and ordered the Yansheng Gong to come to see him immediately. At the same time, he fired a signal flare and summoned the Tiqi who were ambushing outside the city. Only twenty cavalry came first.

Although they had a hundred people, and in theory, they were fighting with thousands of local gangs, and there was nothing scary about it, but at this moment they were blocked by the Kong family with weapons in the Confucius Temple, and there were thousands of people next to them who heard the news and watched the fun.

"Master, they blocked the Tiqi there!"

He Hongyong said, watching Ding Kang and others who were blocked in the Confucius Temple from the restaurant.

Zhu Guoqiang, holding a teacup, sneered.

"Do they dare to rebel? These people are almost all watching the fun!"

How many children are there in the Kong family?

There are definitely more royal families than the Ming Dynasty, and they are all called "saints".

Those saints at the bottom, like the lowest-level clan, are no different from ordinary people and are all targets of exploitation by the main clan. The descendants of the clan have only been passed down for more than two hundred years, but the descendants of the Kong family may have been passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Even if the genealogy has its names written on it, who will recognize relatives with whom for more than two thousand years?

At most, it would be like saying that according to seniority, the Lord Yan Sheng should call us grandpa.

Although many of these people who watched the fun had a surname, they saw the temple of their ancestors of Jinyiwei, but they were not in a hurry, but were happy to wait for the main sect to suffer a defeat.

Of course, some of the Kong family spontaneously protected the Confucius Temple and confronted the Jinyiwei with various things in their hands. Many people even brought muskets. In recent years, the people of Ming Dynasty have more and more muskets. Although most of them are small-caliber three-qian flintlock rifles, this guy can still kill people, and among the people surrounding him, at least hundreds of people holding muskets.

...

Kong Xingxie, who was gasping, stared at Kong Yunchun and asked.

"Kong...Kong Yunchun, huh, what's going on!"

"Master, then, those Jinyiwei came straight to our Kong family. As soon as they entered the city, they broke into the Confucius Temple..."

Kong Yunchun cried with a sad face. How could he not know what the lord tablet in the temple was. Now that he was ready, he was caught and showed up.

"How could you let them enter the city! Why did you make you the magistrate? Isn't it just for our Kong family?"

Kong Xingxie said angrily.

"I, I didn't stop them, who knew that those Jinyiwei suddenly attacked..."

When Kong Yunchun defended, Kong Xingxie's face changed from time to time, and suddenly he gritted his teeth and said:

"It must be that the robbers pretended to be Jinyiwei and wanted to rob the Confucius Temple's property. Where is the Baihu Hall? I summoned the Lin Temple's Ding Zhuang and beat all the robbers to death and send them to the officials!"

The so-called "Hundred Houses Hall" is one of the six halls of the Kong family, and is the office responsible for managing the guards of Linmiao. Also known as the guards of Linmiao Baihu, there is a Baihu Yamen west of the south gate of the Confucius Temple. When Jiannu was invading the south, in view of the burning of the Confucius Forest, it was necessary to strengthen protection. Not only was the Baihu Hall officially recognized, but it was also allowed to set up a thousand guards and select personnel from the temple.

In other words, Baihu Hall is the private army of the Kong family.

When Kong Yunchun heard this, he asked in surprise:

"Master, Master, this, this... is going to be beheaded!"

Kong Xingxie said fiercely with his eyes.

"If they were allowed to leave Qu Mansion alive, our Kong family would definitely die. If you think that a mere hundred households dared to pierce the Confucius Temple, you must have been convinced!"

Who told you not to change the Lord of God? You have to use the previous dynasty tablet...

Kong Yunchun couldn't help but complain to the prince again.

The prince just sounds nice, but that is the prince of the previous dynasty.

Today's tablets are not used today. For the sake of good sound, it sounds good now. This is a serious crime of rebellion!

As a prince, he may seem "gentle and elegant", but in fact, he always has the master who hides his sword in his heart. If he is cruel, it is even more common for his father to be unkind and unfilial to his son.

Of course, Kong Xingxie would do it. The reason why he dared to do this was because he believed that even if he killed all these Jinyiwei, all the officials in the court would protect him, at most, let him pass the seat to his son.

No matter what the Kong family did, for the sake of the court and the face of scholars all over the world, they must be covered up. This has been like this for hundreds of years!

After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Kong Xingxie shouted loudly.

"Call the soldiers and kill the thieves quickly, don't let anyone go!"

Even if he complained in his heart, Kong Yunchun, the magistrate of Qufu, immediately agreed and directed the officers to participate in the "fighting of the thieves". After all, he was a member of the Kong family, and he and the Kong family were both prosperous and both lost. He had no way out at all. No matter what choice the Kong family made, the only thing he could do was cooperate, which was also the reason why the Kong family recommended him as the magistrate of Qufu.
