Zhu Cixiang waved his hand:

"I have my own arrangements to keep you alive!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Sun Chuanting and others retreated, Zhu Cixiang looked at the Minister of Punishment:

"Feng Ying, please tell me how the Kong family should be sentenced for their crimes of betraying the country and seeking glory, and colluding with pirates and bandits!"

The Minister of Punishment of the Ming Dynasty hurriedly bowed and saluted:

"Reporting to your majesty, according to Ming law, Kong Yinzhi and all participants should be executed without mercy. The bodies of the three tribes should be quartered. All the people of the six tribes should be cut in half. All the heads of the nine tribes should be beheaded and all property should be confiscated..."

The Minister of Punishment was very clear and concise in his speech. He listed the crimes committed by the Kong family one by one without any pause.

Zhu Cixiang nodded, he was very satisfied with what he, the Minister of Punishment, said:

"Then let's do it immediately, Kong..."

Zhu Cixiang was about to say that Kong Yinzhi should be left to be handled by three hundred people and civil servants, but as soon as the word "Kong" came out of his mouth, chaos suddenly broke out in the hall.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it. Your Majesty, you absolutely can't do it!"

"Your Majesty, doing this will cause chaos in the world!"

"Your Majesty, if we kill the Kong family, I'm afraid our Ming Dynasty will not be protected!"

"Yes, your Majesty is wise and mighty. You must not make a mistake that will lead to eternal hatred. You must not become a cowardly tyrant like Jie, Zhou, Sui and Yang..."

"Your Majesty, this move will definitely cause instability in the Ming Dynasty and the country. Please take back your order!"

"Your Majesty, please take back your order."

"Your Majesty, please take back your order."

"Your Majesty, please take back your order."

…

The civil servants knelt down in front of Zhu Youjian and begged. Some even compared him to Jie, Zhou, Sui and Yang.

"Shut up, you rotten scholars, you all deserve to die, you actually dare to insult the Holy One."

I saw these civil servants were in a state of confusion and talking nonsense.

Sun Chuanting, Yan Yingyuan, Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji and other nobles of the new generation of the Ming Dynasty immediately stepped forward to help Emperor Shenwu solve his problems.

When the Ming Dynasty was at a critical moment of life and death, the young emperor stepped forward to get the Ming Dynasty back on track.

Although it cannot yet be called a prosperous age, the country is basically peaceful and the people are safe.

How could the sage of Emperor Shenwu be slandered by civil servants like them?

Huang Degong:

"You rotten scholars, is the Ming Dynasty the empire of the emperor, or the empire of Kong Yinzhi? When the rogue bandits caused chaos in the east, was it you civil servants who eliminated it, or Kong Yinzhi?"

Where were you when the scholars were in chaos, the country was unstable, and the Ming Dynasty was in danger? The Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty of the people all over the world, not the Ming Dynasty of your literati, nor the Ming Dynasty of the Confucius family.

Sun Yingyuan:

Since ancient times, powerful countries have relied on military strategists to conquer the world, and Legalists have governed the world. Which country has become strong because of corrupt Confucianism like you?"

Zhou Yuji:

"Kong Yinzhi is really so capable that he can go abroad to open up a new world. You all should follow him to open up new territories and crack the soil. Don't stay in our Ming Dynasty and do evil."

Sun Chuanting:

"How dare you say that our holy master is Jie and Zhou of Sui and Yang. Sui and Yang also knew about the eastward expedition to Goguryeo, the digging of canals, and the opening of the north-south life channel. We are now enjoying the convenience brought by Sui and Yang.

As for the claim that the Sui and Yang Dynasties were worthless, weren’t they all discredited by you rotten scholars? Without the foundation laid by the Sui and Yang Dynasties, how could the Zhenguan rule have come about? All the books are in vain.”

Li Yan:

"Even the so-called Jie and Zhou are hundreds of times better than you. Without Shang and Zhou to stop and eliminate the invasion of foreign enemies, our Chinese civilization would have been discontinued long ago. You should all be speaking foreign languages ​​now, and it would be your turn to read and recite poems here.

."

Gao Wencai:

"Princes who break the law are guilty of the same crimes as common people. The Kong family is just a bird. Is he a prince or a prince? He just gave birth to a good child. Kong Yinzhi betrayed the country and sought glory. Is this the reason you defend him?"

Li Ruolian:

"Your Majesty, they are in the same party as Kong Yinzhi. I will request that these corrupt scholars be killed and their nine tribes destroyed!"

…

The shamelessness of the civil servants completely angered a group of military generals and officials with a sense of justice. They all stood up and angrily denounced these corrupt officials.

Seeing so many people staring with big eyes, as if they wanted to eat people, the literati were a little scared, but they did not admit their mistake, and they still believed in their hearts that the Kong family could not be destroyed.

Although Li Banghua, Fan Jingwen, Meng Zhaoxiang, Cheng Guoxiang and other former high-ranking cabinet officials had already committed crimes, upon hearing about the Confucian family affairs, they tremblingly went to the palace and bowed to Zhu Cixiang:

"Your Majesty, although the Kong family is unforgivable, the Ming Dynasty cannot live without Yan Shenggong. The old minister suggested that Kong Yinzhi should be dealt with seriously, and then the successor of Yan Shenggong should be re-selected from other members of the Kong family!"

Before Li Banghua finished speaking, someone immediately seconded his opinion.

"What the chief assistant said is absolutely correct, and I second my opinion."

"Wei Chen also seconded the proposal!"

There was more than one person who seconded the proposal, and it was still the group of literati.

Zhu Cixiang smiled coldly, he just wanted to destroy the Confucian family and attack the Confucian sect. The Confucian sect was still fighting among themselves. If another Yan Shenggong was appointed, why would he bother to find evidence of the Confucian family's crimes?

"Humph, how can there be an innocent person in the Kong family? Haven't you seen those confessions? The son bites the father, and the father bites the son. They are all such dirty people, how can they be the Duke of Yansheng?"

Those civil servants thought about the confessions they had just read and realized that it was indeed what they said. Even Kong Yinzhi's son was exposing his father in order to survive.

All the civil servants and three hundred people were lying on the ground and did not dare to speak anymore. Zhu Cixiang glanced around and shouted sharply:

"A bunch of ignorant rotten scholars, I tell you, there is no Kong family after Yashan. The real Kong family all died for the country long ago after Yashan. Those who are left now are the ones who first surrendered to the Jurchens and then surrendered to the Meng Yuan rebellion, that is, the Kong family.

Servant, they are not related to Kong Sheng by blood, so why can’t I kill them?"

Zhu Cixiang’s words suddenly made many people realize:

"Yes, the emperor is right. Now, all of Kong Yinzhi's family are really descendants of traitors and traitors."

After the fall of the Jin Dynasty and the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, all the direct descendants of the Confucian family moved south to Lin'an. Those who stayed in Qufu to serve the Jin Dynasty were all unpopular offshoots and servants of Confucius.

Later, when the Mongolian Yuan invaded, they were divided into two. One part went to the Jin Kingdom to serve the Jin people, and the other stayed in Qufu to serve the Mongolian Yuan regime.

Later, when the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Jin Kingdom and the Southern Song Dynasty, the authentic Confucian family, out of Confucian righteousness and national integrity, all followed the young emperor and committed suicide by jumping into the sea. The real Confucian family had been extinct for hundreds of years.

The Confucius family members who are now staying in Qufu are not real Confucius at all, at least they are thousands of miles apart in terms of blood origin.

They are all shameless second ministers. They have had the tradition of being weaklings since the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. They have long been accustomed to betting in many ways, and they will join whichever company is strong. No matter who is in power, no one can treat them badly.

The civil servants who came to their senses bowed to him again:

"Your Majesty, your Holy Ming, you are just telling me to wake up the dreamer. I am confused and ignorant. Your Majesty, please punish me!"

"The Confucius collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. The ministers begged the emperor to issue an edict to severely punish Kong Yinzhi and the Confucius family. It would not be an exaggeration to destroy the nine clans..."

Seeing the shameless appearance of these civil servants in front of him, he felt angry and funny in his heart. They were just a bunch of idiots. What he said just now was completely denied by him in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Cihong knew that some of them must have sincerely admitted their mistakes, while others were trying to deal with him just for the sake of a black hat.

However, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although Zhu Cixi hated them very much, he could not kill them all. The Ming Dynasty really couldn't do without them for the time being. It was short of people!

"Okay, you all, dear friends, I am very relieved that you can improve a lot if you realize your mistakes!"

"Someone is here to behead the entire Kong family in public. As for Kong Yinzhi, hand it over to three hundred people and civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty, and let them do it themselves. Each person must complete the task of two swords, otherwise he will be punished by the same party!"

"Follow the decree"

The Jin Yiwei immediately took away the entire Kong family and executed them in public, while Kong Yinzhi left three hundred people and the Manchu civil servants to personally attack Ling Chi.

These civil servants and scholars only know how to criticize people, but they never take action. Some of them have lived for sixty or seventy years without even killing a chicken.

When they heard the emperor's order to personally punish Kong Yinzhi, they were frightened and fainted before Kong Yinzhi.

"Thump thump thump..."

Dozens of people fell down instantly, all of them rolled their eyes and fainted.

Zhu Cixiang gave the order, and the Jin Yiwei immediately spread a large blanket on the ground, erected a pillar on the blanket, and trapped the stunned Kong Yinzhi on the pillar.

The presiding officer sat leisurely on the dragon chair, looking coldly at the civil servants and ministers below. Those civil servants who suddenly fainted in the court were also revived one by one by the Jin Yiwei.

I have to say that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty are really not simple. I thought that if I didn't take action, I would be regarded as an accomplice, and I thought that if I defended the Kong family desperately, the emperor would definitely remember it.

They immediately forgot their fear and vented their grievances on Kong Yinzhi. One of them stepped forward and picked up a sharp knife, walked quickly to Kong Yinzhi's side, closed his eyes and made two sharp cuts.

"Kong Yinzhi, you are wrongly called Kong. I disdain to be associated with you!"

Kong Yinzhi, who had fallen into a coma, was immediately awakened by a sharp pain. When he looked down, he found that two small pieces of flesh had been cut off from his shoulder.

"ah……"

Ever since Kong Yinzhi was a child, no one dared to touch him. How could he, a pampered child, bear such pain? He screamed and fainted again.
