Chapter 1069 The Public Wrath
The so-called no desire is strong.
Shen Yi doesn't have much demand for credit, mainly because his current credit is already big enough.
Now his official career is mainly restricted by his age and seniority, otherwise he would be more than enough to have a minister of the Ministry of War.
Therefore, the demand for him to take this Northern Qi Yansheng back to receive the reward will not be particularly strong.
Kong Shangzhen looked at Shen Yi, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then sighed, and asked, "So what does Minister Shen want?"
"The Confucian family in Qufu surrendered to Da Chen."
Shen Yi said calmly: "I've already told Brother Ling about this, but I'll say it again to save Yan Shenggong."
"Shenggong Yan personally drafted a proclamation for the Northern Expedition. I sent someone to send Duke Yan to Jiankang, and he personally dedicated this proclamation to me, the Emperor Chen."
"Then, when the Kong family in Qufu surrendered to the Hu people, Shen will regard it as being coerced by the Kong family and will not pursue it further."
Kong Shangzhen looked at Shen Yi, and said silently: "After Kong has gone to Jiankang, who will be the master of the Kong family in the future?"
Shen Yi grinned: "Yan Shenggong wants to ask, can you continue to be Yan Shenggong in Dachen in the future?"
Kong Shangzhen said nothing.
Shen Yi squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "It depends on your majesty's intentions, but the lineage of Chongshenghou was also a direct branch of the Kong family. He has been with Da Chen for 70 years, and his majesty can't let their family feel cold, right?"
"Otherwise, in the future, where will there be loyal ministers?"
Kong Shangzhen was silent.
He sat on the chair, thought for a long time, and then asked: "Shen Shilang, what if Kong doesn't want to write this document?"
Shen Yi looked calm and said, "That couldn't be better."
"The Confucius family in Qufu encountered war. The ferocious Qi people burned down the Confucius temple and broke into the Confucius mansion. As a result, the Confucius family suffered heavy losses and the direct lineage withered."
"As a last resort, the emperor ordered Chongshenghou's lineage to enter the Confucian family in Qufu and inherit Yanshenggong."
Speaking of this, Mr. Shen smiled and said: "This will probably be written in the history books in the future."
"And the Marquises of the Chongsheng Marquis lineage will probably be preserved, with one family and two titles."
Shen Yi said with a smile: "If Duke Yansheng nods his head and agrees now, then in the future, he will most likely be able to exchange official titles with the Chongshenghou Mansion."
Kong Shangzhen looked a little ugly. He raised his head and looked at Shen Yi, then lowered his head: "Senior Minister Shen, many of my family members are still in Yanzhou Mansion."
……
He whispered: "Although the Kong family made mistakes 70 years ago, the Kong family is innocent today. When Emperor Xianzong of the South Chen Dynasty, his late father was invited to Jiankang as a guest. The identity of a father, a son of a country offering wine."
"There is no enmity between the Kong family and Chen Guo..."
"Shen Shilang, if you take down Yanzhou, and even the whole Shandong, the Kong family will naturally return to the court of the Great Chen, why bother to be so aggressive?"
Master Shen sneered.
"To put it bluntly, your family still wants to sit on the wall!"
"Now, the big battle in Shandong has not yet started, and there will be a decisive battle in the not-too-distant future. You think we, Da Chen, may not be able to win, and we may not be able to defend Qufu."
"Therefore, they shirk my conditions in every possible way."
"Say something ugly."
Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "If my master, the king of Dachen, is now pushed to the gate of Yandu City, I am afraid that without me opening my mouth, Yan Shenggong will take the initiative to go south to Jiankang to pay homage to me, the emperor?"
Kong Shangzhen didn't speak, but his face turned a little pale.
After a long time, he raised his head to look at Shen Yi, with a hoarse voice: "Shen Shilang, Kong Mou is going south immediately to Jiankang to meet the emperor of the Southern Dynasty."
"What's the matter, Kongmou discussed with Emperor Hongde, what does Shen Shilang think?"
A smile appeared on Shen Yi's face.
He smiled and shook his head: "No."
The emperor was limited by his own profession, and there were many restrictions on his words and deeds, so there were some things that Shen Yi could do, but the emperor couldn't.
For example, Mr. Shen can now embarrass the Kong family and vent his anger on the former court, but as the emperor, the emperor cannot treat Duke Yan lightly.
If it spreads out, it will not be good for the emperor's reputation, and it will also affect the image of the emperor in the hearts of scholars in Dachen.
Kong Shangzhen's eyes widened.
"Shen Shilang, why is this?"
"According to Shen's condition, Shen arranged for Yan Shenggong to go south to Jiankang."
"If not."
Master Shen said softly: "Shen will also arrange Yan Shenggong well."
Speaking of which, Master Shen looked at the sky outside, and said: "Yan Shenggong, Shen will start to attack Yanzhou in a few days. Once I start to attack Yanzhou, what we said just now will not count. .”
"Wars are raging in Yanzhou Prefecture, and the Qi people are extremely ferocious. When the time comes, Shen may not be able to protect Duke Yan Sheng."
Kong Shangzhen's face turned pale.
His voice was hoarse: "Can Mr. Shen tolerate me for a few days?"
Shen Yi said with a smile: "This is naturally possible, but Shen may attack Yanzhou tomorrow."
Hearing this sentence, Kong Shangzhen looked to the north, gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind.
"Okay, Kong agreed!"
He gritted his teeth and said: "After Kong returned, he drafted a message for the Northern Expedition, and then personally took the message and sent it to Jiankang."
Shen Yi stared at Kong Shangzhen, then shook his head slightly with disappointment in his eyes.
"As expected of Duke Yan Sheng, he can bend and stretch."
Kong Shangzhen's face didn't look good after being told such a thing by Yin Yang. He took a deep breath and said, "Shilang Shen is pressing harder and harder, and there is nothing Kong can do."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "Yan Shenggong has many ways."
"Just now, Lord Yansheng looked to the north. I guess, in the Yanzhou mansion, Lord Yansheng should have left his heirs and family."
"Even in Yandu, there are officials from the Confucius family."
"You voted for Chen Gong, Yanshenggong. Northern Qi can declare to the outside world that you were violently kidnapped by me. At that time, Yanshenggong's family will still be able to stand in the Northern Dynasty."
"Probably, it will still be Yan Shenggong."
Shen Yi touched his chin, and said, "At the last time, he will also be a marquis of Chongsheng. Is Shen right?"
Kong Shangzhen did not answer.
Master Shen shook his head and said with emotion: "The legacy of a sage is really boundless. Although your family is sitting on a wall, this wall is built up by the merits of the master in the past. Ordinary people really can't push it down."
Shen Yi said this sentence with a particularly deep feeling.
Because in another world, no one could overthrow the Kong family store for more than 2000 years, until that person appeared...
However, Shen Yi is still much worse than that person, at least for now, he has no way to overthrow this Kong's shop.
Even, it is not easy to knock down this wall.
Kong Shangzhen stood up.
Shen Yi got up to see him off, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow morning, I will arrange someone to escort Yan Shenggong south."
Duke Yan Sheng looked at Shen Yi with a complicated expression: "Senior Minister Shen is not afraid that I will change my mind after arriving in Jiankang?"
"so…"
Shen Yi smiled and said: "Before Yan Shenggong sets off, the message needs to be shown to Shen first. Shen will send someone to send it to Jiankang at night."
"If Lord Yansheng changes his mind temporarily and changes his mind..."
Speaking of this, Master Shen sighed: "Yanzhou is in chaos, and there are military disasters everywhere. The situation of the Confucius family in Qufu may be unpredictable..."
Kong Shangzhen's face changed again, and she cupped her hands at Shen Yi.
"Shen Shilang is thoughtful."
"Kong admires it."
Master Shen smiled and returned the gift: "Shenggong Yan, please go slowly and don't see me off."
………………
In a blink of an eye, several days passed.
At this time, Shen Yi had just sent away the Duke Yansheng whose surname was Kong, and Jining Prefecture had just been captured. Just as he was planning to attack Yanzhou, rumors arose in Jiankang City in the south.
It can't be said to be rumors, it can only be said to be gossip, which spread like wildfire.
The content of the message is also very simple.
After Shen Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army of the imperial court, entered Qufu, he burned down the Confucian Temple!
That is the Confucian Temple that has stood for 2000 years, and it is the holy place in the hearts of countless scholars in the world!
After the news reached Jiankang, for a while, the views of the Jiankang government and the public were polarized.
Ordinary people, after hearing the news, all clapped their hands and applauded, thinking that Master Shen had vented his bad breath on behalf of Da Chen.
When the scholars heard this, they were inevitably filled with righteous indignation. They felt that Shen Yi, a lucky minister with a double-ranked Jinshi background, was too barbaric and had ruined the Confucian Temple of the saints and was treasonous.
When the news reached the court, it also caused an uproar.
Soon, at the ensuing court meeting, a total of fifteen censors from Yushitai jointly wrote a letter to impeach Shen Yi for deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors, which is a great treason.
In addition to the censor who was rumored to be playing the role, there were also some important court officials who had already been in the fourth rank, who also wrote a letter to impeach Shen Yi, and angrily reprimanded Shen Yi at the court meeting.
There was an old pedant from the Ministry of Rites, who blushed with anger and had a thick neck. He was in a state of being killed in the Deqing Palace if the court didn't deal with Shen Yi.
Emperor Hongde in the Golden Palace sat firmly on the throne, quietly looked at the courtiers under the stage, without saying a word.
After a while, he winked at Eunuch Gao.
Gao Ming immediately stepped forward and bowed his head respectfully: "Your Majesty."
His Majesty the Emperor did not look sideways, still looking at the ministers below, and said indifferently: "Go and find out how the news of Qufu reached Jiankang."
"also…"
His Majesty the Emperor showed a look of disgust.
"How did it reach the ears of these rotten scholars?"
Eunuch Gao lowered his head slightly.
"The servant obeys..."
