Chapter 181 The weeping Duke Yansheng
"Yang Qianshi, just let me go!"
In a garden belonging to the Duke of Wei’s Mansion in Nanjing, Yan Shenggong, who was lying on the hospital bed, begged Yang Xin pitifully.
Next to him is the book "The Rules of Disciples".
Poor Yan Shenggong really didn’t write this thing. It was the first time he saw it!
How could he write this?
He didn't know how much he hated.
It can be said that this book "The Rules of Disciples" and Yang Xin's evil deeds of purging Jiangnan Academy based on this, taking those scholars out of the board and even eliminating fame and fortune made him notorious all of a sudden, and he became the public enemy of Jiangnan Shilin. At this time, many people hated him so much that they gritted their teeth. They no longer dared to wear gorgeous clothes, no longer dared to go in and out of Qinhuai, and even had to be careful to be caught in the heresy when speaking, and the definition of heresy was also stipulated on this.
According to this definition, Su Song and Zhejiang East will probably be wiped out.
All those in the Taizhou School had to be eliminated.
And all of these are thanks to him, and he can't defend himself. After all, he is still lying on the bed, and the cover of this book is indeed written by him...
The three words "Disciple Rules" are not.
But Kong Yinzhi and some of the contents in it are indeed.
It was Yang Xin who lied to him that the emperor was a little confused about his study and specially entrusted Yang Xin to ask him to resolve his doubts. So he foolishly solved his doubts. It was nothing more than his reading experience of Confucian classics and made a booklet to become Kong Yinzhi. Then Yang Xin, the shameless guy, asked someone to imitate his handwriting and wrote other content. These things that really made people hate were combined with the content he wrote in person, and thus became this book "The Rules of Disciples" that brought hatred...
This shameless person is really full of cunning tricks and cannot be guarded against.
He certainly didn't know there was a word called ps.
Poor he just lost one leg, and he can't get out of bed with his left leg cut off. This broken leg just allowed him to recover some of the stigma caused by the gold medal in protecting the Saint Protection in Jiangnan, but now it's all over again.
He really wanted to cry without tears.
What's more, Yang Xin didn't let him go even if he was like this.
The demon was still forcing him to do another thing that could be said to have him become a traitor forever.
"To Brother Huan, I will open the skylight to you and say something straight. Your Majesty wants you to come to Nandu to clean up these bastards for him. Your Majesty trusts you and thinks you are a loyal minister worthy of his trust. Then you should look like a loyal minister. You must identify Ye Maocai as the master of intercepting the Jinyiwei, and also threaten you and force you to say it was done by the bandits. Then I will report to Your Majesty, saying that you had endured humiliation and deliberately did what he said to wait for my arrival.
Don't think that Your Majesty doesn't know what happened.
Your Majesty has already known what happened before Qingliu Pass.
If you don’t stand up and point out, your Majesty will no longer think that you are a loyal minister. Since you are no longer loyal to Your Majesty, why should Your Majesty continue to make the Kong family rich?
Did the Kong family gain wealth because of Confucius?
no.
The Kong family gained wealth because it was useful to the emperor.
If you are not loyal to the emperor, then you will be useless. Who will support you if you are useless? The 200,000 acres of sacrifice fields in Qufu, the hidden fields that your Kong family has no idea about, the commercial taxes in Qufu city, and the hereditary magistrate of Qufu, who has such preferential treatment? So why should such preferential treatment be given to a family that is simply unfaithful to you?
Reclaiming all may not be enough, but you will reduce your 100,000 acres of sacrificial land, cancel your commercial tax in Qufu City, cancel the Kong family's hereditary magistrate of Qufu, replace it with someone loyal to the emperor, and then check the hidden land of your Kong family and let you pay taxes.
Isn't this too much?"
Yang Xin said.
"Yang Qianshi, if I do this, I will be completely ruined. I will give you 50,000 taels. Please let me go. I will say that I am still unconscious. Look, I have broken one leg. Am I like this? You still won't let me go?"
Kong Yinzhi said in tears.
This demon!
He really didn't understand why this demon always liked to harm him?
No grievances or grudges!
He also gave this guy tens of thousands of taels of silver, but why did he always harm himself again and again?
He wouldn't let go of a broken leg!
"no!"
Yang Xin said cruelly.
"You have no choice, the Kong family has no choice.
This is the test that Your Majesty gives you, and this is the Majesty who is looking at which side you stand on.
If you stand on Your Majesty's side, the Kong family's favor remains unchanged, and you will even receive more rewards from Your Majesty. For example, if you continue to increase the number of sacrifices to you, and if you stand on Others' side, the Kong family will be completely abandoned by Your Majesty and will never receive his favor again.
Things are that simple.
Don’t fantasize about having other choices, and don’t fantasize about protecting yourself.
You only have two choices.
Be loyal to Your Majesty.
Or not loyal to His Majesty.”
Yang Xin said.
I have to say that every time I bully Yan Shenggong, he can feel very happy.
It can be said that it has always been fun to bully.
However, Kong Yinzhi is indeed very important at this time. If Kong Yinzhi can stand up and make evidence, then Ye Maocai can bypass some procedures and directly convict.
No physical evidence is needed, and Yan Shenggong's testimony will not be fake.
Speaking of which, Ye Maocai was not cruel enough at the beginning, and it might have been that he still had some feelings for Confucius. His smartest thing at that time was to kill Yan Shenggong together, which would avoid such a thing. However, if he did not kill Yan Shenggong, he would have to be killed by Yan Shenggong.
Jiangnan Shilin would not scold Yang Xin.
Because Yang Xin is a bad person, a treacherous minister with a lot of evil deeds.
But they will directly pose the culprit who killed Ye Maocai on Yan Shenggong's head.
It was Yan Sheng Gong who killed him.
Yan Shenggong was a treacherous minister.
So the reputation of Yan Shenggong became terrible step by step, and the Donglin Party would also retaliate, such as exaggerating the purity of Yan Shenggong, exaggerating the illegal behavior of the Kong family in Qufu, and even demanding that the Kong family in Quzhou be changed to inherit the title of Yan Shenggong.
Then the eunuch party continued to protect him.
Finally, the public was invaded, and the emperor had to follow the public's wishes.
This is Yang Xin’s plan to harm Yan Shenggong. He first asked Kong Yinzhi to testify, and then Ye Maocai and Mr. Lin confiscated the house. At the same time, based on He Jing’s confession, he then arrested Gao Panlong. As long as Gao Panlong was arrested directly, there would be no other choice in the Shilin of Nanzhili. They must take the most direct means to force Tianqi to choose to be a wise ruler or a fool.
This is the leader of the Donglin Party.
The sages that the entire Nanzhili and most Jiangxi scholars looked up to.
It is also the soul of the Donglin civil officials in the court and the local government. Although this person seems to be in the wild, he can truly manipulate the government affairs behind the scenes. The private messages he sent from Donglin Academy are the basis for those Donglin officials. Donglin Academy can be said to be the core of all the academies in Nanzhili. Those mountain leaders and teachers only follow the leader. The gentry in Nanzhili also conveyed their political demands to these mountain leaders through their children who studied in major academies.
In the end, Gao Panlong became the core of this invisible system.
To say that the Donglin Party is indeed not equated with modern political parties, it is just a political alliance formed by civil officials from Nanzhili, mainly formed in the court, but relying on the perfect academy system, it already has a brain, which is Donglin Academy, or it may shrink into one person.
The mountain captain of Donglin Academy.
Climb the dragon high.
As long as he is arrested, he will force the gentry of Southern Zhili to make a decision.
This is not the time when Jiu Qiansui forced him to death. The Apocalypse and Jiu Qiansui had been in the process for six years, cleaning up the court and the local Donglin Party, and at the same time supporting the civil servants who depended on him, so that they could truly attack him, the de facto leader of the Donglin Party.
But the result was that Apocalypse died the second year.
But now it's different.
Yang Xin didn't have so much time to complete the closing of the Donglin Party step by step, just like the original nine thousand years in history, so he could only use this method of luring snakes out of the hole, using his evil deeds to provoke civil servants and gentry again and again, making them unable to bear it, and he took the initiative to jump out to fight him. Then he used the most direct means to give them a blow, and this blow was the prerequisite for the next reform. If he didn't give them a blow, it would be impossible to carry out the reform normally.
So now is the time for Yan Shenggong to make sacrifices.
Is it impossible to continue to be a gangster among the emperor and the gentry?
"Yan Shenggong, do you do it?"
Yang Xin shouted.
The poor Yan Shenggong's tears fell silently.
"Then I'll go back and submit a memorial to Master Long live!"
Yang Xin stood up and said.
After saying that, he made a gesture to go out...
"No, no, Yang Qianshi, I will do it, I will do it!"
Yan Shenggong stretched out one hand and cried.
"That's right. You obey me. You don't have any loss to you. Isn't it just a few scolds from the scholars? Look, I'm scolded every day, but I'm still rich and glorious? I'm afraid that they will dig my ancestral grave if they are too anxious. You don't have to worry that they will go to Qufu if they are too anxious. They can't dig your ancestral grave. No matter how false reputation is, the wealth and glory in their hands are real. Dong Qichang's family has been burned by them, and they are not the same as high officials and generous salaries in the capital. As long as you are loyal to the emperor and as long as the emperor knows your loyalty, the wealth and glory of the Kong family will not change.
What can they give you?
It’s just a little bit of praise for a little bit of false reputation.”
Yang Xin sat back to the bed to comfort him.
Yan Shenggong cried like a tearful person, which made Yang Huan who came in outside the door look weird.
"Uncle, Duke Wei and others are waiting for you."
Yang Huan said.
"To protect Yan Sheng Gong, it means that Yan Sheng Gong needs to rest. Unless I approve, no one is allowed to disturb him."
Yang Xin said.
Then he got up and left.
Chapter completed!
