Chapter 204 The Kong family’s last resort!Chen Han shot the scholar! !
The Kong family members quickly went in and reported to Kong Ximing inside the lobby.
"Second Master! Second Master! There are one or two thousand scholars coming from outside.
Why are they still holding the tablets of our ancestors? "
None of the Kong family knew what was going on.
But some people immediately reacted, "Second Master, isn't this the response you just mentioned?"
Kong Ximing stroked his beard with a smile, and then said: "Yes, Chen Han is known as a determined reformer, and he has indeed defeated our Kong family.
But now there was a problem before him.
There are so many scholars carrying the tablets of the most holy master of Dacheng to prevent him from besieging our Kong family. Could it be that he could kill all the scholars? Even His Majesty, seeing so many scholars standing up to defend the Kong family, he must consider the impact.
The imperial court and Chen Han trampled the Confucius family under their feet, but we have trained at least [-] scholars of the Confucius family over the years.
These people understand very well that they and our Kong family are grasshoppers on the same rope.
If our Kong family falls, their lives will not be easy.
As long as we survive the first wave, I don’t know how many officials in the court will intercede for us.
At that time, even His Majesty had to understand how sacred we are in the minds of scholars.
If you want to eradicate the Confucius family, you must first eliminate the roots of scholars.
Does Chen Han dare to take on such a responsibility? If our Kong family rises again in the future, Chen Han will be the sinner of the ages.
If he dares alone, will everyone dare to follow him?
We have inherited it for thousands of years, and we still have this foundation. "
Hearing what he said, everyone in the Kong family breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the backlash was here.
Indeed, so many scholars can be said to cover the entire Shandong elite scholars.
Since ancient times, in this land shrouded by the glory of Saint Kong, these people have always believed that they are superior to scholars in other places. They have even received direct support from the Kong family, which is all real money and silver. of.
This is also the moat the Kong family built for themselves.
The Kong family knew very well that relying on the reputation of Master Kong Sheng, they could be kept like pets by the court.
But the real strength must be penetrated step by step.
It has only been 25 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it was only eight years before Hongwu began to conduct the imperial examination again.
To their relief, the number of people admitted to the imperial examination was much higher than in previous dynasties.
During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the imperial examination was a child's play.
The Tang Dynasty was not to mention controlled by powerful families.
In the Song Dynasty, it was controlled by the Shijia family.
Although there was a name-blinding system, most of the time it was still based on recommendation, and the number of places admitted in the imperial examination was very few.
In the Yuan Dynasty, it was even more chaotic.
It is even more of a joke to want to compete with the Mongols and Semu people for the position of the imperial court.
After all, the status of the Han people and the Han people in the south is lower than that of the first two.
Only when the Ming Dynasty opened the imperial examination to recruit scholars, they discovered that the number of places admitted to the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was much more than before.
Therefore, the Kong family used its abundant financial resources to support these scholars.
After receiving the favor of the Confucian family, these scholars took the initiative to become the moat of the Confucian family.
The Kong family's current status is closely related to such investment.
Kong Ximing sat in the lobby and said very confidently: "Our Kong family has spent a lot of money and money, and the people we have cultivated are pretty good.
Nowadays, people in the officialdom do not dare to stand up because the examination law is like a shackle on their heads, which is understandable.
But all of these scholars are scholars and scholars who have achieved fame.
These are all officials of the Ming Dynasty in the future. Does Chen Han really dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately?
I want to uproot my Kong family. It’s such a beautiful idea.
As long as I, the Kong family, amaze me in Qufu, everyone around me will have to pay for my Kong family.
Even if the court and the emperor define us as evildoers, so what?Just become a defeated enemy.
But if he wants to destroy my Kong family, Chen Han is a little too young. "
Sure enough, Jiang Yu and the three thousand troops outside were faced with a problem.
The scholars were wearing long robes and came with their heads held high. The leader was about 30 years old. He held the half-human-tall tablet of the Dacheng Holy Master and said to Chen Han, "You must be the famous Lord Pinglu.
It can be said that your name has been filling my ears recently, and now I see that you are indeed a talented person.
But Lord Marquis, the achievements you have made now are already eternal, why do you still want to go against the Kong family? The Confucian family is the descendant of a saint, and the glory of Confucianism has covered many Han people for thousands of years.
The brilliance of Confucianism is like a big banner, guiding the Han people to work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and penetrates into their daily lives.
Without Confucianism and Confucianism, we, the Han people, seem to have lost our direction. Are you so impatient? The scientific and technological approach you are now leading has gradually won the support of the people. It can be combined with Confucianism. Why should one trade off the other?
Now that the Kong family has eliminated the title of Duke Yansheng, they have to offer sacrifices to Saint Kong, right? Why do you insist on requesting an order to inspect the Confucius family in front of His Majesty? "
Chen Han sat on the horse and really didn't want to talk too much nonsense with these sour scholars.
He pointed the riding whip at the speaker: "You know, I am inspecting the Confucius family under His Majesty's imperial decree. If you obstruct our actions, you are disobeying the decree. I think you should be clear about the sin of resisting the decree.
I see that you are all scholars, and you may also be the pillars of the country in the future. If you are not as knowledgeable as you, you should be dismissed immediately.
Put the memorial tablet of Saint Kong, the most holy master of Dacheng, into the Confucius Temple. In this case, I will not hold you accountable. Otherwise, obstructing the imperial envoy from acting according to the order is tantamount to obstructing His Majesty. What kind of fate should you have? Very understandable. "
The scholar snorted, "I'm not coming out now to stop you from doing this, but to help you.
You know clearly that the Confucius family has lasted for thousands of years, and it is the family of saints.
Your crime of searching the saint's court is so great that as long as there are scholars, it is impossible to spare you.
Don't you leave yourself a way out? You are a favored minister in front of His Majesty. As long as you go back and explain the stakes to His Majesty, I think His Majesty will take back your order.
When the Kong family is saved, I will surely thank you for your great kindness.
At that time, the reputation of the Kong family was no longer as good as before, and your scientific methods could be carried out unimpeded.
And you let go of the Kong family, which is also a kindness to the scholars in the world.
This can serve multiple purposes, Lord Marquis, why don’t you consider it? "
Chen Han was furious, "What qualifications do you have to bargain with me here as a sour man? Now I am going to raid his Kong family. If anyone dares to come forward to stop him, don't blame me for not giving him face."
The scholar was also stubborn. He turned around and looked at the two or three thousand scholars behind him and shouted, "Colleagues, if we protect the Kong family today, we will protect our roots.
If we, the scholars, are really afraid of death and let such cruel officials destroy even the gates of saints, then can we still be considered scholars?
When he destroyed the Kong family, he destroyed our roots.
Everyone, I've been waiting for the opportunity to commit suicide. "
After that, he yelled, "Anyone who is not afraid of death can come forward with me." As soon as he encouraged him, some people who were not afraid of death actually took a few steps forward.
And he shouted loudly: "If you want to destroy the Kong family, step over our corpses first!"
As they spoke, they stretched out their arms to hold each other, and pushed forward like rows of waves.
Jiang Wei also saw sweat on his forehead at this time.
He has never seen such a scene.
Although as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he had killed many people.
But these are readers.
To put it bluntly, they are not guilty.
But I don't know why, these people still dared to do this after Chen Han reminded them that obstructing law enforcement is equivalent to resisting the decree and being disrespectful.
It can only be said that these scholars have been deceived too much in this place.
But if he really wanted him to order the killing of these people, Jiang Wei couldn't do it for a while.
When the three thousand soldiers saw the more than 2000 scholars rushing forward hand in hand, they subconsciously took a few steps back.
The scholar holding the tablet held the tablet with both hands, and there were two scholars beside him holding his wrists.
He strode forward and walked over, shouting as he walked, "Chen Han, I know you are an avant-garde who is determined to reform.
You also ran to the Japanese slaves, defeated the Japanese slaves, and obtained a lot of silver from there, making the Ming Dynasty better now.
But this cannot be the reason for you to embarrass the Kong family.
If you really want to embarrass the Kong family, you should do it in front of the minister's memorial tablet.
Saint Kong has been highly respected for more than 1000 years. If you really destroy all the memorial tablets of Saint Kong, I believe that no one in the world will forgive you. Please think carefully! "
When Chen Han saw that the scholar actually brought out the memorial tablet of Saint Kong to threaten him, he immediately sneered: "Bring the blunderbuss!"
Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment: "Master Hou, you have to think twice..."
Chen Han ignored it. For people who had been brainwashed, Chen Han didn't want to talk to them anymore.
After taking the firecracker, he lit the fuse directly with the fire sickle, and then he pointed the firecracker at the scholar holding the tablet, "I say it again, whoever dares to come forward, don't blame me for not giving him face!"
The scholar holding the tablet snorted, "We have put life and death aside for a long time. If you dare to kill us, you will be cast aside by scholars all over the world. If you dare..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a bang, and the firecracker in Chen Han's hand fired.
Although the power of the three-eyed gun is not very strong.
But within thirty to fifty steps, it is still very lethal.
A shot was fired and it immediately penetrated the chest of the scholar holding the tablet.
With a bang, the tablet in the scholar's hand fell to the ground, and he knelt down on the ground.
Looking at the several gun muzzles on his chest, he couldn't believe it.
Then a large mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and he fell to the ground with a bang, dying with his eyes closed.
Even Jiang Wei was frightened at this time.
Unexpectedly, Chen Han would kill someone if he said he would kill someone.
Wow...
The scholars in the front row turned pale with fright and stopped in their tracks.
The scholars behind could not hear the sound, some could not stop walking, and a stampede suddenly broke out.
The scholar's hard work flowed gurglingly, staining the tablet of Dacheng's Most Holy Master on the ground red.
When the other scholars saw this, they pointed at Chen Han and were furious: "Chen Han, you really dare to kill the person holding the tablet of the Supreme Saint of Dacheng. Aren't you afraid that reading can take revenge?"
Chen Han carried the charge on his shoulders and watched them. I repeatedly warned you not to get thousands. Are you looking for death? Or as I said, anyone who resists the order and does not comply will be killed without mercy. All the soldiers listened to the order and Chen Han killed a scholar and fired a shot. After that, no one dared to refute his military order, so the soldiers shouted: "The Marquis ordered!"
Chen Han said loudly, "Soldiers, raise your weapons to me. If you dare to take another step forward, no matter who it is, shoot to death!!"
After Chen Han finished his instructions, the guards officers pointed their three-eyed guns and spears forward.
There was even more sweat on Jiang Wei's forehead. He was afraid that there would be a bloodshed here.
However, the shock effect of Chen Han's murder soon came out. After killing a person, those scholars were afraid of death after all.
He probably didn't expect that Chen Han would really dare to order a murder.
I didn't expect that the young Chen Han would have such thunderous methods.
Even Jiang Wei didn't dare to kill people casually when he saw such a scene.
But Chen Han dared.
The Kong family members inside the Kong Mansion, who had been observing the situation outside, were so frightened that they immediately ran towards the lobby.
While running, he shouted: "The second master is in trouble, Chen Han has killed someone, Chen Han has killed someone! Those scholars don't dare to come close!"
When Kong Ximing heard this, he stood up in shock.
He looked in the direction outside, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "I really didn't expect that this Chen Han would be so brave at such a young age. Did he really kill someone?"
The Kong family member who reported the news said: "Not only were they killed, but the scholars who were holding the tablets of our ancestors were also killed.
The ancestor's tablet fell to the ground and was stained red with blood! "
When the Kong family heard this, they were immediately furious, "This thief dares to desecrate the late master's tablet, which is a saint's tablet. Just for this, he will be cut into pieces!"
"Death by a thousand cuts!"
All the Kong family members are angry.
Kong Ximing shouted, "It's no use shouting here. If you have the skills, rush out and fight with him!"
This was the first time Kong Ximing was so panicked.
He originally thought that using these scholars as a shield would at least let Chen Han know how much energy the Kong family had.
But he didn't expect Chen Han to kill someone directly. This was beyond his expectation.
The Kong family was even more panicked now.
"Second Master, please hurry up and think of a way. If you can't think of another way, they may really rush in, and the scholars won't be able to stop them."
Kong Ximing almost kicked out the speaker. He kept making noises but had no choice but to let himself think.
If you are in such a hurry, you won't think of a solution yourself.
He almost said this.
Outside the Confucius Mansion.
After Chen Han shocked all the scholars, he turned around and waved his hand: "Break down the door and search the Kong family!!"
