Chapter 179
This is how Feng Dao is. Many people admire his prestige and knowledge, while some people despise him privately, curse him, and say that he will be infamous in history.
But when encountering difficult things and particularly difficult things, I still need to ask the old teacher for help.
Even Fan Zhi, who is very disagreeable with Feng Dao, dare not underestimate the skills of the old teacher.
Feng Dao is getting older. Since he returned from the war with Wang Jun, the old teacher has suffered from the problem of old cold legs. Even in spring, he has to surround a thick leather mat, otherwise his old legs will be like a wooden stick.
Li Gu came to see Feng Dao's face was shriveled and thin, with prominent cheekbones. Compared to the past, he was less energetic and he would grow old. Master Feng could not escape the knife of time!
The ten emperors could not do anything to him, and only God could take over this monster!
But before accepting him, let’s solve some problems for us first!
"Tai Shi, Wang Xianggong just came to the memorial from Qufu, impeaching the Kong family and requesting a thorough investigation. What do you think should be dealt with?"
Feng Dao suddenly frowned, "Didn't Wang Pu go to Qufu with Ye Hua? What does Ye Hua mean?"
Li Gu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There is no movement in the Champion Hou. It is precisely because of this that things have become difficult."
Feng Dao immediately understood it. He grabbed his sparse beard and thought. In fact, he was not thinking about the Kong family at all, but Ye Hua!
That little boy has only become the champion Hou in just two years, but also the leader of the young generals. This time, Ye Hua not only made suggestions, but also charged forward and made great contributions.
With that kid's intelligence, it was already very difficult to suppress him, but now there is no possibility.
Moreover, Ye Hua didn't seem to respect the scholars, even the famous prime ministers all over the world, he was not polite at all. He wanted him to be scruples and show mercy to the Kong family's subordinates.
Almost impossible!
As for Wang Pu, he was an honest man, but once an honest man got stubborn, he could not take back his temper.
The Kong family probably wouldn't be spared if there were two people in Qufu.
"Oh, Emperor Mingzong of the previous dynasty issued an order to kill Kong Mo and others. I was in the dynasty at that time." Feng Dao did not directly say what to do, but talked about the past.
"There is indeed no one in the Kong family, but the Zhang family is a local bully. If I was wrong, many things should have been done by the Zhang family."
Li Gu was very sad, "Whether it is the Kong family or the Zhang family, if this case is investigated, it will shake the root cause and damage the reputation of the saints. You can ask the old teacher to take action."
Li Gu said in a nearly begging tone.
But he didn't notice the mysterious smile on the corner of Feng Dao's mouth.
Seeing that Li Gu was not up, Old Feng Dao could only cough twice, "Oh, I am not in good health and not as energetic as before, and I can't come up with any solution. This matter involves the Champion Hou. You might as well go to King Jin to make an idea!"
"King of Jin!"
Li Gu was so happy that he forgot about Chai Rong!
It's so damn!
The King of Jin was willing to come forward, so he could naturally suppress Ye Hua and convince His Majesty that finding him was much more useful than finding Feng Dao. Li Gu seemed to have caught a life-saving straw and left in a hurry.
Old Feng smiled secretly in his heart.
Li Gu is really at a loss. I have told you that if you deal with the Zhang family and pick out the Kong family, the matter will be finished.
But you have to protect yourself to the end and don’t know how to choose at all.
Not to mention Ye Hua, even Wang Pu cannot agree.
As for finding King Jin, I guarantee that I will be disappointed again.
Chai Rong was doing business in his early years and later joined the army. He had no good opinions about Confucian scholars, but just used them and would never be truly convinced.
Moreover, Chai Rong's situation is different from the ordinary crown prince.
Usually, an emperor who values martial arts often has a prince who values literature. Only by combining hardness and softness and mixing water and fire can the empire last for a long time... But Chai Rong is not good, and he cannot sing a opposite tune with Guo Wei at all. Since Your Majesty did not go to worship Confucius, the meaning is already very clear. Chai Rong is still stupid enough to protect the Kong family and bribe civil officials. Wouldn't that cause trouble for himself?
Chai Rong will only be more ruthless than Guo Wei!
Look at it!
Feng Dao pondered for a while, immediately ordered, claiming to the outside world that he was sick and was very sick, and he would block anyone who came to visit him.
Master Feng completely pretended to be salted fish.
Speaking of Li Gu, he found Chai Rong excitedly and briefly said the matter. His Highness King of Jin not only did not agree to help, but also sank his face.
"Mr. Li Xianggong, you are responsible for the three departments and manage the country's financial resources. My father issued an order last year and wanted to promote land grants in various places. I ask you, where is the worst done?"
Li Gu was very embarrassed, "Yes, Yanzhou, Jeju, Qingzhou, Dengzhou and other places."
"That's right!" Chai Rong said with a stern face: "Why can't these places be pushed? In a nutshell, it means that local tyrants oppose it, and among the local tyrants, the Confucius family in Qufu is the main one! It obstructs the national policy and dares to kill officials, which is like committing rebellion! Such a serious crime is not dealt with, and he actually wants to protect him. Mr. Li, where do you put the laws of my Great Zhou? How do you let the court govern the world in the future and convince the people?"
Chai Rong showed no mercy and did not dare to sit down Li Gu's words. His temples were sweating.
"Your Highness, the old minister knows the crime, but the old minister is worried that this matter will damage the reputation of the saints and destroy the court's dedication to the scholars..."
Chai Rong waved his hand impatiently, "Since he is a scholar, he must first understand the truth, know the right and wrong, and cannot be blindly indulged. Wang Xianggong and Guanjunhou are both people who know how to behave. Your Political Affairs Hall immediately orders them to thoroughly investigate the case, and be sure to be as proof as a mountain and stand the test."
Chai Rong's words completely cut off your husband's thoughts, and this case could not be suppressed.
Li Gu was mixed with all kinds of feelings and had no choice but to tell Fan Zhi and ask him to order Wang Pu and Ye Hua.
Everyone in the capital was nervous.
Don't know at all how things will develop?
And Ye Hua, he was not idle either.
County Magistrate Xu died, and Hong Ganjun died too.
But they fought with the Kong family for so long, could they not leave anything behind?
Ye Hua sent out his manpower and investigated everywhere.
It’s true that he found Hong Chanjun’s uncle. This old man was already seventy-six years ago. He served as the governor many years ago. Later, he didn’t get used to the darkness of the officialdom, so he resigned and went home.
It was influenced by this old man that Hong Shenjun acted in an upright and diligent manner, and was valued by County Magistrate Xu and became a confidant.
County Magistrate Xu was killed, and it was Hong Ganjun who sent the blood letter to the prefect of Dengzhou through his relationship, which alarmed Guo Wei and finally sent two imperial envoys to come...
"Old Hong, I am extremely sad that Hong Zongjun was killed. His revenge must be avenged. Any murderer who killed him will have to pay the price!"
Old Man Hong asked with a gloomy face: "What's the price?"
"Kill someone to pay for his life, and pay for his debts!" Ye Hua said decisively!
"Do you dare to kill?"
Ye Hua pointed at his nose, "I can even kill the Khitan emperor, will I still care about the so-called descendants of the saints?"
Old Man Hong looked at Ye Hua with a look of surprise in his eyes!
He raised his head and laughed, "I almost forgot that the champion Hou is a young hero of my Great Zhou, but... if you do this, you will be enemies of the scholars in the world! They will settle the score with you sooner or later!"
"Hahaha!" This time it was Ye Hua's turn to laugh, "Old Hong is a scholar, Hong Chanjun is also a scholar, County Magistrate Xu, and even a scholar! Will you scholars be enemies with me?"
Old Man Hong was stunned for a while, and tears flowed down.
"Oh, Champion Hou, we are all honest people and are useless! No, we were all killed one by one. If the Champion Hou had not found me, I was afraid I would have died!"
Ye Hua smiled and said, "Old Hong, I don't say anything useless. I just asked the old man one, do you believe Ye Hua?"
Old Man Hong smiled, "Apart from champion Hou, who else can I believe in!"
He lowered his head, raised his sleeves, and tore open the thread above, took out a book of silk books from it, and placed it in front of Ye Hua.
"This was found out by my nephew with his life. When County Magistrate Xu died, he knew that he would not live long, so he secretly gave me the thing. This records how many acres of land in Qufu fell into their hands after Kong Renyu regained the Kong family. Please check it out!"
Ye Hua grabbed the silk book and looked carefully. While reading it, he calculated silently. At the end, Ye Hua was so angry that he slapped the table!
"One hundred thousand acres of land! Kong Renyu can really act!"
Mr. Hong smiled, "This is only flowing to the servants of the Kong family. As for the ones that flow to the Zhang family, it is several times more! Kong Renyu only has 300 acres of thin fields on the surface, wearing vinegar coats and eating coarse grains, which is just like a farmer, but behind the scenes, he still has a lot of industries, I'm afraid he doesn't even know how much he has!"
