Chapter 667 Yan Shenggong’s Mansion! Disgusting Ugliness!

Yanshenggong Mansion, Qufu, Shandong.

In the 10th year of Hongwu, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Yanshenggong to set up a court office and ordered the mansion to be rebuilt east of Queli's former residence. Since then, after many renovations, Yanshenggong's mansion has developed into a behemoth, covering an entire area. More than two hundred and forty acres.

Most of the manor and fertile land under his name are fertile land and do not need to pay any taxes to the court. On the surface, the income from the fertile land is used to worship Confucius and maintain Confucius temples, but in fact there is no need to spend so much money. Yan Shenggong's pocket.

At this moment, the contemporary Yan Shenggong was drinking and composing poems in the study room of his mansion, and his life was very happy.

Soon his subordinates came to report, and students from various prefectures in Shandong stopped taking exams one after another. Some even gathered outside the Confucius Temple and cried.

Hearing the news, Yan Shenggong couldn't help laughing loudly, with indescribable joy and wantonness.

Yes, he was the instigator of the student strike in Shandong.

The purpose is also very simple, that is, to prevent the imperial court from promoting those deviant new theories.

What is Confucianism?

As descendants of the most holy teachers, these "Confucian orthodoxy" certainly possess supreme majesty.

If you are said to be a deviant, you are a deviant!

If you say you are lying, then you are lying!

Originally, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was a prominent school in the world. Although it was slightly different from orthodox Confucianism, it was still a branch of Confucianism and could be regarded as orthodox Confucianism in the final analysis.

But what the hell is that new learning that Zhu Gaoxu has tinkered with?

Not only is it mixed with the theories of various schools of thought, but there are also some heresies called "physics", which can be described as out-and-out heresy!

However, Zhu Gaoxu succeeded in seizing the direct heir and became the crown prince of the dynasty. He vigorously promoted these fallacies and even made them the main content of the imperial examination!

What is this behavior?

This is shaking the country and the country!

Without Confucianism to imprison thoughts, and without the Jin gentry replacing the emperor and herdsmen, what would your old Zhu family do to secure this country?

Duke Yan Sheng couldn't understand what Zhu Gaoxu was thinking, and he wanted to shake the country of the old Zhu family!

If he couldn't understand it, he wouldn't think about it too much and just thought that Zhu Gaoxu was a fool.

However, Confucianism has been passed down for thousands of years. Ever since Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, it has never lost its status as a prominent school in the world!

Now that Zhu Gaoxu wanted to replace Confucianism with some fallacies, Yan Shenggong naturally could not agree.

That's why he used all his connections to mobilize students throughout Shandong Province to unite to boycott exams and demonstrate, to resist the imperial court's promotion of these fallacies and heresies, and to restore the orthodox status of Confucianism!

You must know that there are tens of thousands of students in the entire Shandong Province who took the exam this time. It is not that they did not take the exam, but just handed in a blank paper. You can imagine the lethality and influence!

Presumably the court has also received the news now. Emperor Yongle and the prince Zhu Gaoxu are already panicking, right?

Thinking of this, Duke Yan couldn't help laughing.

"After all, it's still a big deal!"

"You have no knowledge and you actually believe those fallacies!"

"Fengyang Zhu, Fengyang Zhu, the outbreak just can't last long!"

"In this whole world, only Jiangxi Zhang can be compared with me, Qufu Kong!"

There are only three families in the world, mine is just the same as those of Jiangxi Zhang and Fengyang Zhu. Zhang from Jiangxi has Taoist morale; Fengyang Zhu has a bad temper in others!

This is the pride and pride of being a descendant of the most holy teacher!

It’s just that Duke Yan Sheng forgot that times have changed!

Just when he was feeling complacent, scolding and beatings suddenly came from outside the door.

This sudden change caught Yanshenggong off guard, and he even accidentally made a few strokes of the copybook he was copying.

Duke Yan Sheng was furious and walked out of the study angrily.

I saw groups of armored soldiers rushing in, staring at him with evil expressions!

"Be bold!"

"Who are you?"

"How dare you break into Duke Yansheng's mansion!"

All the soldiers were indifferent, but looked at him quietly.

It wasn't until an official wearing a purple robe slowly walked forward that Yan Shenggong's face changed drastically and he gradually turned pale.

"The censor of Zuodu, Gu Zuo!"

Duke Yan Sheng looked at Gu Zuo in disbelief, cold sweat dripping from his forehead subconsciously.

As the saying goes, "the shadow of a famous tree", the evil reputation of Zuodu Yushi has already spread throughout the government and the public.

Since Jin Yiwei was abolished by Emperor Yongle, although Dongchang replaced Jinyiwei, there were not many things worthy of Dongchang's action, so he remained relatively low-key.

On the contrary, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which has gained immense power, has suddenly become the most feared entity among officials!

In particular, the tallest man in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Gu Zuogu, the censor of Zuodu, is selfless and cold-blooded.

Over the years, Gu Zuo has investigated and dealt with as many as eight hundred corrupt officials, if not one thousand!

Because of this, Gu Zuo has now become a person who is feared by everyone among officials.

Even if he is as proud as Yan Shenggong, he can't help but feel a little trembling in front of Gu Penzi at this moment.

"May I ask Master Gu what you mean by this? Why do you want to break into Duke Yansheng's mansion without permission?"

Duke Yansheng asked bravely.

Gu Zuo glanced at him contemptuously, and then sneered.

"Dong Yan Shenggong, incited Shandong students to stop taking exams, secretly obstructed the court's new policies, and tried to shake up the country!"

"Your matter has been revealed. His Majesty the Emperor, Long Yan, was furious and ordered me to arrest Duke Yan and escort him back to the capital for severe punishment!"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Shenggong was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

"No!"

"This is impossible!"

"I am the contemporary Yan Shenggong and a great scholar!"

"You can't do this to me, you are slandering the sages..."

Facing Duke Yan Sheng's screams at the top of his lungs, Gu Zuo stepped forward and gave him a big mouthful.

"Before coming here, I ordered someone to check what Yanshenggong Mansion was doing secretly. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net You are really disgusting!"

"Forcibly occupying the manor's fertile land, plundering the people's fat and the people's oil, and fish and meat the local people, it can be said that there are so many crimes that it is difficult to write down!"

"The people who really bring shame to the most holy teacher, Saint Kong, are you unworthy descendants!"

"I slapped you so many times that I felt sick!"

"Someone, take it away!"

Gu Zuo waved his hand impatiently, disgusted with this Yan Shenggong to the extreme.

"Sir, many students gathered at the Confucius Temple to cry at the Temple!"

A soldier came forward to report, which made Gu Zuo furious.

He looked at Yan Shenggong coldly, and then smiled.

"good!"

"It's really good!"

"Originally, I was still thinking about Kong Sheng's identity and wanted to save some face for your Duke Yan Sheng's Mansion."

"In the end, Duke Yansheng insists on committing suicide, so don't blame me for being unkind!"

"Take him to the Confucius Temple. I would like to know how Confucius would react when he learned of the many evil deeds your Yanshenggong Mansion has done over the years!"

Upon hearing Gu Zuo's words, Yan Shenggong immediately roared crazily.

Literary men are all about face, not to mention a scholar like Yan Shenggong!

If Gu Zuo, waiting for the face of his ancestors and the world's students, exposes the dirty tricks that Yan Shenggong's Mansion has secretly done over the years, not only will Yan Shenggong's Mansion become a laughing stock, but their ancestor Kong Shengren will also be humiliated. !

"No!"

"Master Gu can't do this!"

"I beg you, Master Gu, please don't do this!"

Duke Yan Sheng was so panicked that he even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gu Zuo to beg for mercy.

Seeing the arrogant and ugly behavior of this guy, Gu Zuo felt extremely disgusted.

"Stop his mouth and take him to the Confucius Temple!"

"If I had known this today, why bother!"
