At this time, Emperor Hongzhi summoned three people from the Kong family.

Kong Hongxu, Kong Hongtaihe and Kong Wenshao were dressed neatly and were taken into the palace to pay homage to the emperor.

The three of them looked very good.

Especially the two brothers Kong Hongxu and Kong Hongtai are older.

When entering the palace, it was carried in by the sedan chair specially given by Emperor Hongzhi.

After entering the hall, Emperor Hongzhi directly gave up their gifts.

Kong Hongxu and others bowed to him.

"His Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi sat in the upper head, and his complexion was obviously better recently.

He said: "Thank you for the hard work of the construction of the Confucius Temple, and you will arrange sacrifices and other matters."

Kong Hongtai already knew what he was going to do when he came here today.

He lowered his eyebrows slightly and replied, "Thank you for your concern, I will not work hard."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, asked about their bodies again, and asked about Kong Wenshao.

After a few words of twists and turns.

Then.

He said: "After the Chinese New Year, I want to implement the new policy."

"That's when we need three cooperation?"

What is time to come is still here.

Kong Hongxu knew last time that the emperor would not give them a chance to refuse.

Unless they are willing to give up everything they are now.

After Kong Hongtai and Kong Wenshao came, he also talked with the three of them for a long time.

They had no choice but to be a chess piece in the hands of Emperor Hongzhi.ωωw.

But then I thought about it.

All in the world are just pawns in the hands of the emperor.

Thinking of this, they seemed to feel a little more relaxed.

Therefore, after Emperor Hongzhi asked today, Kong Hongtai, as the current Yan Shenggong, cooperated directly and said: "Your Majesty, we are members of the Kong family."

"Since we should take the responsibility of leading scholars all over the world and prospering the spirit of Confucianism."

"Your Majesty wants us to do what we do then, just give us a direct command."

Emperor Hongzhi was very satisfied with their attitude.

He nodded and said with relief: "It's good."

"Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, I hurriedly summoned you and waited for it, which is indeed a little hasty."

"Now it's not far from the New Year."

"I have asked someone to prepare some rewards for you. During this period, I will stay in the capital."

Kong Hongtai and the other two didn't know what it felt, but they could only thank them.

Perhaps the emperor did not use tough means to make them surrender, which was the best ending.

Emperor Hongzhi said some other words before he let the few people leave.

The three of them were not very emotional.

When I went out, I was blown by the cold wind, and even if I was sitting on the chariot, I couldn't help but shivered.

When they were carried out of the palace all the way, the group met Master Zaba and others who were being brought in by the Jinyiwei on the way.

This master often goes in and out of the palace, and Kong Hongxu and others also know him.

Kong Wenshao said curiously: "Your Majesty invited the master to come in and preach again today?"

Kong Hongxu smiled bitterly.

"Where is this going to the palace to preach?"

"This is Master Zaba. He was with Yongxibo not long ago when he was in the palace to preach...."

"I lost the argument with the current Dingxi Hou."

"I heard that he was expelled from the temple today, and there is no temple in the capital that wants to take him in."

"Then why is he brought into the palace now?" Kong Wenshao was shocked when he heard these words.

Since he came to the capital, he has been doing a lot.

He was busy with the affairs of the Confucius Mansion and his father-in-law's family.

I really didn't know much about these other things outside.

Now when I heard the name of Dingxi Hou, I remembered the couple who appeared in Li Dongyang's house that day.

Kong Hongtai did not speak out, Kong Hongxu continued: "Do I know why we entered the palace today?"

“Of course…”

Kong Wenshao opened his mouth and suddenly understood what his father meant.

They entered the palace today, naturally, to achieve the emperor's goal.

Then this Master Zaba...

I just lost the theory and was despised by my fellow disciples.

Now that he has been summoned to the palace, of course, it is not the emperor who is very merciful.

I guess Emperor Hongzhi extended a helping hand at this time to achieve one of his own goals?

Thinking of this, their Kong family and this Master Zaba are people who share the same illness and pity.

Kong Wenshao laughed helplessly.

The group left the palace and got on their own carriage.

Kong Hongtai made a rare voice.

"Today, we have always been gentle and always respectful to the wise and humble."

"Now, when you look at it, the Lord's methods are very different."

As the leader of the preservation, he actually wants to implement the new policy.

That's it.

They even grasped their lifeline and asked their Kong family to cooperate.

Now even those in Buddhism and Taoism are not spared.

With the same experience, it seems that the life in the Confucius Mansion is not too sad?

After all, they have not yet tried the feeling of being disgraced by Master Zaba.

If one day...

Kong Hongtai suddenly shivered and was unwilling to think about it any longer.

Kong Hongxu also followed his thoughts and suddenly said, "What do you mean..."

"Master Zaba's matter has also been plotted against?"

Originally, they were just a group of people who came to the palace to preach.

He was plotted against it, suddenly discussed it, and then lost.

After losing, when he was excluded by his fellow disciples and most people mocked him, he would lend a helping hand.

In this way, wouldn’t these people all do their best to do things for the emperor?

And the people who made these...

Emperor Hongzhi was just a monarch who enjoyed his achievements.

The person who really dominates these things is Zhao Ce!

Kong Hongxu stared at his younger brother slightly widened his eyes.

Kong Hongtai also thought of this layer and felt that his old goose bumps were all over his body.

Hiss ~

The discussion is simple.

But it is definitely not easy to win in the discussion of the truth.

After all, the content of the discussion on that day was not concealed in the palace at all.
To be continued...
