Yangxin Palace Hall.
The cabinet and the six ministers knelt in the hall.
"Get up."
Zhu Youtang was neither sad nor happy.”
"The scholars of Great Ming are also the most courageous. Today, I will let you all see how your role model, the Supreme Saint Yan Shenggong, is loyal to the country!”
The three cabinet elders and the six ministers could not figure out what the Emperor was thinking.
However, he did not know what the Emperor meant.
However, they all understood Zhu Youtang's character. The more he spoke so casually, the more it meant that he was already furious.
Soon.
Hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the hall.
"This subject is the Imperial College's Chancellor, Kong Hongtai.”
Swoosh.
The cabinet and the six divisions looked at Kong Hongtai with their mouths agape.
Hereditary Holy Yan Sheng Gong, representative of scholars, descendants of Confucius.
Zhu Youtang looked at him coldly and let him kneel.
"Our dynasty's Emperor Taizu once said that the people should be educated first, and education should be based on schools.”
"In the second year of Hongwu, Taizu opened the Imperial College and appointed your Kong family as the Imperial College's sacrificial wine for generations.”
"Right and wrong?"
Kong Hongtai kowtowed.”
Zhu Youtang sneered,"Yan Shenggong, you don't have to be so polite. I can't afford it, and I don't have any kindness to you."”
"I have a question. Listen."
"Ask the world, what is love? From the north to the south, two flying guests, old wings several times back to the cold and summer. Joy is fun, parting is bitter, and there are even more foolish children in it. You should have said, thousands of miles of clouds, thousands of mountains of evening snow, only shadow to whom?
Hengfen Road, lonely years of flute and drum, desolate smoke is still flat Chu. How can I sigh for the souls of Chu? The mountain ghosts secretly cry in the wind and rain. Heaven is jealous, do not believe, orioles and swallows are all yellow soil. For thousands of years, I have been waiting for a poet to sing and drink to his heart's content, and to visit Yanqiu.”
This poem comes from Yuan Haowen, a man of Song Dynasty.
Just as everyone was baffled.
"What do you think of Yuan Haowen?" Zhu Youtang asked sternly.”
"He's a great scholar of the Song Dynasty." Kong Hongtai braced himself.”
Zhu Youtang continued to speak sternly,"How do you evaluate Kublai Khan?"”
Kong Hongtai broke out in a cold sweat." Although Kublai Khan was a barbarian, he could be considered a hero of his generation. He was also fond of reading poetry and books. Mister Yi Shan also followed him as a great master of Confucianism.”
Zhu Youtang laughed. Yuan Haowen's bootlicking of the song 'Good Lord' had completely thrown away the backbone of the Song people!”
"You, Kong Hongtai, are from Kong Sihui's lineage, right?”
Kong Hongtai's heart was trembling as he vaguely sensed something.
"Yes."
Zhu Youtang shouted," When Yuan Renzong was in power, Kong Sicheng was the Grand Chancellor. However, after Kong Sihui asked Yuan Renzong to investigate, it was confirmed that Kong Sicheng was a Shu Branch and Kong Sihui was the main branch of the Kong Sect!”
"You, Kong Hongtai, are loyal to the country for the sake of the ruler of Da Yuan, right?”
"Without Yuan Ren Sect, you might not even be able to inherit the position of Chancellor, right?”
"Your Majesty," Kong Hongtai said in shock,"I've been wronged."”
"Come in!" Zhu Youtang shouted coldly.
Huai 'en brought Fan Zi into Yangxin Palace Hall.
"Read!"
Zhu Youtang finished.
" The first year of Hongzhi, winter, October," Huai 'en said in a sharp voice." The Tartars secretly entered the Confucius Mansion at midnight.”
" He said," Tomorrow's son is working hard to govern the country. I'm afraid he will threaten this dynasty. The nine sides are in danger. Please, Yan Shenggong, assassinate the emperor to stabilize the situation."”
After Wynne finished reading.
The cabinet and the six officials were all shocked. At this moment, they finally realized something.
He also understood why the Emperor was assassinated.
The three of them turned pale.
Liu Jian stood up, stroking his beard as he laughed maniacally. He then glared at Kong Hongtai and kicked him in the head.
Bang!
Kong Hongtai's forehead touched the brick surface of Yangxin Palace Hall, and blood seeped out.
"Bastard!"
"The Sage Son of Heaven worked hard to govern the country, and only then did he return a prosperous world to the Great Ming Dynasty. You are so small, but you are so bold. If you don't kill me, it won't be enough to set an example!”
Xie Qian stood up as well. He held a teacup in his hand and smashed it toward Kong Hongtai's head.
"Haha! You people are Yuan Haowen's people! Haha! Piercing Emperor! Good! Alright! Imperial College Grand Chancellor! A classic example of our scholarly faction! Good!"
Xie Qian's body was trembling.
He respected Confucianism the most, but at this moment, his face was filled with madness.
"That's right! Our dynasty is rising rapidly, are you the remnants of Northern Yuan afraid?”
"How arrogant were you during the rebellion of the Earthwood Fortress? Why did he do such a despicable thing today?”
"If you all have the ability, show me your true moves and clash with me, Big Ming, one move at a time!”
The nine leaders of the Great Ming Division were all furious.
Kong Hongtai wanted to refute, but the evidence the East Military Hall had made him unable to say a word. He could only kowtow.
Zhu Youtang looked at him coldly." I want to see how you will face your ancestor Yan Shenggong after you are removed from your title!"”
"I order that the Ming Dynasty will not inherit the title of Yan Sheng Duke.”
"Announce the crimes of this traitor to the world!”
Kong Hongtai's actions, even more than Jin merchants to Zhu Youtang hate.
"Your Majesty!" "This humble subject's fault is alone, why should the collateral branch be implicated?" Kong Hongtai said with a trembling voice.”
His entire body was convulsing violently.
This wasn't killing, nor was it killing the heart. This was making people feel disgusted while they were alive. After they died, they would still have to curse for thousands of generations.
He could die, but how could he face his ancestors?
Zhu Youtang ignored him and said to Huai 'en,"Let the Embroidered Uniform Guards raid his family and kill all his relatives within three generations.”
"His disciples are never allowed to take the imperial examinations.”
"Let the Embroidered Uniform Guards investigate thoroughly. Once they discover treason, wipe out the three clans.”
Zhu Youtang said.
"Your Majesty, I…I can be a spy of the Ming Dynasty and gather intelligence with the Tartars…" Kong Hongtai wiped the blood from his forehead.
Zhu Youtang waved his hand." There's no need. I'm not a lowly ruler. I'll get back the humiliation of Tumu Castle in an upright manner!"”
Kong Hongtai was taken away by the East Military Department.
Zhu Youtang narrowed his eyes and walked to the entrance of Yangxin Palace Hall with his hands behind his back. He looked at Beijiang.
"Are you guys afraid?"
"My dear ministers, you've worked hard. Go back and celebrate the new year.”
Liu Jian took the lead, and the nine of them shouted in unison, ready to leave.
"Grand Secretary Liu, I ask you, why did the Tartars send people to assassinate me?”
Liu Jian stopped and said in a clear voice,"Great Ming is strong!" The Tartars are terrified!"
Zhu Youtang continued to ask,"The people of the northern borders are afraid of me, but what about those along the coast?" What about overseas? I don't just want the northern borders."
"Revise the business tax for Zhen. Zhen wants to see the plan after the new year.”
"Order people to hang Kong Hongtai's head in front of the northern border's city gates!”
"Get Yang Yiqing to prepare his blade. In the second year of Hongzhi, I want to see the remnants of Northern Yuan destroyed!”
