Chapter 203 Sentenced to Ling Chi

Kong Wenshi didn't expect that he had ignored this. Perhaps he was not good at framed others, so after hearing Kong Yinzhi's words, he had a quick copy of a secret letter that could frame Yuan Keli.

Kong Wenshi once served as Yuan Keli's aide. He was familiar with Yuan Keli's style of writing. In addition, he was also talented, so it was easy to imitate secret letters. Therefore, he believed that this move would frame Yuan Keli for success.

But he did not expect that His Majesty Zhu Youxiao was so meticulous, and his clumsiness in slandering others, he has made mistakes and was suddenly seen by His Majesty.

Seeing this, Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi was so angry that his teeth were itchy, and he secretly scolded Kong Wenshi for being a stupid nerd who couldn't even do such a thing well. He was even a little worried that Kong Wenshi would not be able to withstand the oppression of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao and told the truth.

But now, when the Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi saw that Kong Wenshi still admitted that he was guilty and took the initiative to add a charge of framed by himself, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Kong Wenshi may seem naive in the evil ways of framed others, but his willpower is indeed tenacious. He will never let go after he decides something. Now he is the same. He is determined to sacrifice for his clan and Confucian status and takes the blame to himself. In addition to taking the charge of harming a girl, he also takes the initiative to take the blame for his crime of framed by the ministers.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao was furious and looked at the hard bone in front of him who kept saying that he was guilty. Finally, he couldn't help but kick it. Kong Wenshi fell directly to the ground, groaned, vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and said nothing, but still knelt in front of Zhu Youxiao: "Please punish your Majesty, don't go as far as others!"

"well!"

Zhu Youxiao was furious and laughed: "Since that's the case, Kong Wenshi, I will fulfill you!"

"Transfer to my will, and the official and gentry Kong Wenshi believed that he was guilty of murdering a girl, and attempted to frame the important officials of the three dynasties and their benefactors, and the governor of the Eastern Eastern Yuan Keli. He was a person who was inhumane and had no virtue or benevolence. He immediately removed all his officials and descendants. He sentenced Lingchi to the punishment of 3,500 knives and escorted to Beijing for execution!"

Kong Wenshi was also instinctively showing a pale face when he heard this. He had already determined to be executed by His Majesty, but he did not expect His Majesty to be so cruel that he directly sentenced him to 3,500 swords.

However, since he was determined to save the clan and protect Confucianism by death, he did not regret it. He said nothing except that he unconsciously fell a few tears. Finally, he gritted his teeth and kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao: "Thank you for your fulfillment!"

Zhu Youzhaochun thought that he could scare Kong Wenshi away such a severe punishment, but he didn't expect that Kong Wenshi would still not let go and regret it, which made him so much that he could only groan and say nothing.

Zhu Youxiao didn't understand what power this clan had that made a person not even afraid of Lingchi, and was willing to take the blame for the evil people in the clan?

Although Yuan Keli was dissatisfied with Kong Wenshi's framed him, he also felt sympathy when Zhu Youxiao punished Kong Wenshi so heavily, and he could see that Kong Wenshi was obviously taking responsibility for his own crimes. Therefore, Yuan Keli couldn't help but bow and said, "Your Majesty, is the punishment of Ling Chi too much? Can he keep his entire body in the case of his voluntary confession?"

"They are going to splash dirty water on you. What kind of love do you ask for for him? I have decided, so there is no need to say more!" Zhu Youxiao, who was a little angry, couldn't help but scold Yuan Keli.

Zhu Youxiao knew that his move might have been retaliated against by annoying that these people did not care about their own lives for the clan, but he also wanted to use this to shock those scholars and officials who only had clans but no Ming Dynasty.

If they only do the former, then Kong Wenshi's fate will be their best witness!

As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi was eager to settle the case and hurriedly bowed to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Kong Yinzhi did not show his desire to plead for Kong Wenshi because Kong Wenshi was a member of his own clan. Instead, he pretended to be upright and showed that he had a good reputation and said, "Although Kong Wenshi is a descendant of a saint, he is a wolf-hearted person. He really lost the face of my Kong family. As the saying goes, a prince violates the law and commits the same crime as the common people. Your Majesty's actions are highly admired."

"The same is true for the weak ministers." The left governor Gu Tingzhuo also agreed, praising Zhu Youxiao for a lot of wise and decisive actions and acted simply, and was worthy of being the Great Emperor Qianqiu. He also really scolded Kong Wenshi and criticized Kong Wenshi for nothing. It seemed that only in this way can he show that he was a gentleman.

The Censor Wang Ren, the prefect of Yanzhou Luo Maoji, and the prefect of Qufu Kong Zhenkan, also agreed one after another: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhu Youxiao was very upset at this time. In his opinion, what these Shandong local officials who supported Kong Yinzhi said at this time were simply ridiculing himself, and he was ridiculing himself as he could not do anything to them in the end.

Yuan Keli said nothing at this time, with a cold face. The most hateful thing was not Kong Wenshi who knelt on the ground at this time, but the insidious and despicable people standing on the dry shore who regarded themselves as righteous gentlemen. They were using the shelter that Kong Wenshi gave them to show off their victory.

"Yuan Keli!"

Zhu Youxiao shouted coldly, Yuan Keli walked up and bowed, "I'm here!"

"No matter whether this case was done by Kong Wenshi or not, even if he admits it was done by himself, he should not file it with the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice. There are still many suspicious points in this case. Even if Kong Wenshi is the culprit, there should be others involved. I will order you to pay attention to this case during your tenure!"

Zhu Youxiao’s meaning is very clear. Didn’t you want me to think that this case would be settled earlier because Kong Wenshi came out as a scapegoat? But I am not as good as your wish, and I keep you hanging your heart.

Kong Yinzhi looked at Zhu Youxiao in surprise. He and Zhu Youxiao saw the anger of His Majesty at present towards him. Naturally, he knew in his heart that he had completely offended His Majesty at present.

But sometimes there is nothing we can do about it. Kong Yinzhi is not a person who does not know how to adapt. He can accept surrender to foreign races and become a slave. As long as he recognizes his privileged status in front of the common people, he will have no complaints.

But now His Majesty wants him to give up his privileged position and pull his clan off the altar. So even though Kong Yinzhi knew that he might suffer more serious consequences when fighting with His Majesty today, he was lucky enough to think that he could take the risk of toughening with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty again.

After all, looking at the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, especially since the Chenghua year, there are cases of confronting the emperor, but most of the time, there are no major consequences. Even Hai Rui scolded Jiajing and was spared because of Jiajing's death. Therefore, Kong Yinzhi also hoped that he could survive the reform that prevented His Majesty from now on until His Majesty's death directly. At that time, his Kong family would naturally escape the disaster.

Officials such as Gu Tingzhuo, the Zuogong, were like Kong Yinzhi, who did not want to investigate after confirming Kong Wenshi as the culprit, but since His Majesty had said, they had to listen.
