Chapter 218 Execution in front of the Confucian Temple
Kong Yinzhi didn't expect that Kong Wenshi would appear again, and he could see a hint of anger from Kong Wenshi's eyes.
However, now he doesn't care whether Kong Wenshi has resigned to take the blame for himself. He is still smiling.
Kong Wenshi made a new confession in court, and told him how Kong Yinzhi found himself and hoped that he would perjure him.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao asked Kong Yinzhi again: "Kong Yinzhi, what Kong Wenshi said is true. Have you asked him to give you perjury?"
"No!" Kong Yinzhi replied directly.
Zhu Youxiao asked He Shangqi again: "What did he answer?"
He Shangqi stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, he replied, "Your Majesty, what he said is true. Kong Yinzhi admitted that he had asked Kong Wenshi to do perjury, and the old minister heard it clearly."
"Where are you, what did you hear Kong Yinzhi's answer?" Zhu Youxiao asked the other officials and gentry again.
The other officials and gentry also hurriedly replied: Go back to Your Majesty, Kong Yinzhi answered that there was, and I could hear it clearly."
Kong Yinzhi couldn't laugh at this, and even felt anger. These officials and gentry who used to be very respectful to him are now all turning black and white, pointing to a deer as a horse.
"You, you snobs who are changing with the wind, I'll spoil!"
Kong Yinzhi couldn't help but spat.
However, Zhu Youxiao was not angry about it, but felt a little satisfied, and was satisfied with the performance of these officials and gentry.
"Since Kong Wenshi said that he was doing perjury and you, Kong Yinzhi, admitted it, I don't need to retrial," Zhu Youxiao suddenly turned his face down: "You are a bad village, not only do you not want to repent, but you collude with officials in the court, wanting to do something wrong and intending to kill me, which is really unforgivable!"
"Kong Wen's poem!" Zhu Youxiao said and shouted again.
Kong Wenshi stood up and said, "The sinners are here!"
"Read the eighteen crimes of the Confucius Sect that you have made to Kong Yinzhi." After Zhu Youxiao said that, Kong Wenshi unfolded a volume of ink scrolls he had written earlier and read them: "The Confucius Sect was originally a different species, with mixed bloodlines, and Kong Yinzhi was even more unorthodox descendants of Confucius Sect, but he was a descendant of the saints and stole the position of Yansheng Gong. This is one of his crimes; Kong Yinzhi secretly formed a private party, interfered in the government affairs, wanted to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and plotted against His Majesty, and was extremely evil, and his crimes were two of his crimes..."
Even Kong Yinzhi was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but point at Kong Wenshi: "You, you guy who forgot your ancestors and seeks glory, how dare you slander your ancestors like this!"
Kong Yinzhi was so angry, not because of these crimes, but because Kong Wenshi, a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, had been kicked out of the clan by him, but his reputation in the Shilin was still there. Everyone in the Shilin knew that Kong Wenshi was an outstanding representative of the Confucius Sect of the Northern Sect. Now Kong Wenshi personally denied the orthodox nature of the Confucius Sect of the Northern Sect, which means that his Confucius Sect will not only be massacred, but will also completely sink into a lowly house that is even worse than that of ordinary people.
"Kong Yinzhi, you are so bad. I have been expelled from the clan by you. From then on, I will no longer be the descendant of the Confucius Sect in the Northern Sect!"
This was the first time Kong Wenshi talked to this former Yan Shenggong like this, and Kong Yinzhi couldn't answer the words and didn't know what to say.
Zhu Youxiao then slapped the arbor and shouted angrily: "It really makes me angry. A family with injustice has usurped the throne of Yansheng for hundreds of years. This manifesto spread all over the world, destroyed all the archives of the Confucius Sect in the Northern Sect. All the written and books about the Confucius Sect in various places were destroyed, and all the inscriptions were smashed! At the same time, scholars, officials and gentry from all over the country, including students and above, each of them submitted a memorial to criticize the hypocrisy of the Confucius Sect in the Northern Sect. Those who criticized the wonderful can be directly awarded an official position."
When Kong Yinzhi heard Zhu Youxiao’s words, he also understood that Zhu Youxiao wanted to use this to completely deny his entire Northern Sect Confucius School.
In this way, his own direct line was destroyed, and other Northern Sect Confucius Sects would be stigmatized for life. From then on, not only could he not raise his head in front of the Southern Sect, but he could not raise his head among the scholars and the people of the world.
Therefore, Kong Yinzhi finally couldn't suppress his anger and suddenly rushed towards Zhu Youxiao: "Zhu Youxiao, I want to kill you!"
Before Kong Yinzhi could rush over, he was kicked back by Zhu Youjian.
"Kong Yinzhi intends to rebel and deceive the emperor and is cruel by nature. He is so cruel that he will be slapped in 3,500 knives. The two sons and fathers are punished together and will be executed immediately!" Zhu Youxiao said and waved his hand: "Pull it down."
As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Kong Xingkai, with a ferocious face, suddenly shouted: "Let's wait!"
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao asked, "What else do you have to die?"
Kong Xingkai glared at Zhu Youxiao with his eyes and clenched his fists: "That day I lured you into the secret room. Do you already know that I want to harm you? You deliberately asked me to catch you, just to complete the fact that my family rebellion is not right?"
Zhu Youxiao did not answer, nor did he want to answer, but just waved: "Pull it down!"
Kong Yinzhi, Kong Xingkong and Kong Xingkai were dragged down, then put them in a net, squeezing hard and protruding pieces of meat. The executioner who was responsible for the execution took a sip of wine and started working on the three of them with his own special knives.
Soon, the wailing sounds of Kong Yinzhi and his son from the entire Confucian Temple were heard.
He Shangqi and other Shandong officials and gentry were all pale in their faces, and they did not dare to look at the execution scenes in front.
The Kong forces in Shandong were completely eradicated. Kong Yinzhi, a landlord who resigned to the Qing Dynasty in later generations, still sitting on Yan Shenggong, began to completely disappear from this world from now on.
The manifesto that Kong Wen's poem exposes the crimes of the Confucius Sect in the Northern School was immediately published in major newspapers and magazines. However, the manifesto not only signed the name of Kong Wen's poem, but also signed the name of Kong Shangqian and Kong Zhiqi. Although Kong Shangqian was dead, it was announced that the manifesto was drafted before his death, so the outside world had to believe it.
Kong Wenshi and others jointly denied the orthodox nature of the Confucius School in the Northern School, which immediately caused an uproar in public opinion, but it also confirmed the nature of this matter.
As a result, Zhu Youxiaoqin appointed Kong Zhiqi as the Fengsheng Doctor. After the officials were treated as the fifth rank, they buried Kong Shangqi's son Kong Shangqi's son and gave him the sixth rank Chengdelang, which completely recognized the orthodox status of the Southern Sect.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the abolishment of Yan Shenggong and replaced it with the Holy Doctor is intentionally to reduce the status of Confucianism. Today, the Holy Doctor is just a widowed and widowed person. As long as the widowed and widowed person returns to the West for a hundred years, the descendants of the Confucius clan will completely end if they want to enjoy privileges after they are Confucius.
As soon as the Kong clan fell, the officials and gentry in Shandong were successfully implemented. After that, other officials and gentry dared not to violate the wishes of blocking His Majesty and cooperated with the governor Yuan Keli.
Moreover, because a large number of local officials in Shandong were executed during the rebellion, such as the governor Yan Tingzhuo and Luo Maoji, they were directly beheaded, resulting in a power vacuum in the middle and upper-level bureaucrats in Shandong. With the acquisition and support of Zhu Youxiao, Yuan Keli promoted a large number of prefectures and counties with practical talents at the grassroots level to enter the governor and inspect the envoy. In this way, Yuan Keli had less constraints in his career and made the reform smoother.
In addition, the inspector and the Censor was a member of the royalist party, Tang Shixing, which was more convenient. Shortly after Zhu Youxiao left Shandong, the entire Shandong land began to be remeasured.
