20. Pan Palace held a big incident
A young man was introduced outside the gate. Hong Jinglai took a look. He saw a new face that he had not seen before.
"This is Kong Zhaozong, a student of Xianjing Temple's Longshan Academy, a junior school." Kong Shangxuan introduced at the side.
Hong Jinglai seemed to have caught something in his mind, but he didn't seem to have it. So he nodded to show that he understood. Since this man was a student of the academy given by King Jingzong, he needed to meet him perfunctorily.
"Kong Zhaozong of the kindergarten school pays homage to the imperial eunuch!" Kong Zhaozong bowed respectfully and saluted.
The so-called kindergarten students, to put it bluntly, are Confucian students, or Tong students. With the status of a scholar, they are qualified to take the student examination and Jinshi examination, and they are also the basic political status of most two classes in the local area.
As for the name Kong Zhaozong, there is nothing to say. He must be a member of the same clan as Kong Sangxuan. He is most likely a descendant of the Kong family in Changwon, and he can be considered a saint.
"Get up, no need to be polite." Hong Jinglai gave him some help.
Kong Shangxuan was a student, that is, a person of good family background who was qualified to be appointed an official. Kong Zhaozong was just a Confucian scholar. Hong Jinglai did not need to stand up and be polite to him.
"Thank you, eunuch." Kong Zhaozong sat next to Kong Shangxuan.
"What happened?"
"In order to denounce evil, I came here to report the rebels (the word "evil" is a shielding word, so I will use "rebel" below)." Kong Zhaozong cupped his hand.
"Report the unbelievers!" Hong Jinglai reacted immediately.
This man was a student of Longshan Academy, and Yu Junze's church was also in Longshan. There was no doubt that Yu Junze's identity as a Christian must have been detected by this man.
The answer he gave after that was exactly what Hong Jinglai had imagined. Kong Zhaozong and Kong Shangxuan were from the same clan. Although they were already living in two different places at this time, the two groups of nobles moved around quite diligently these days. Everyone joined each other to keep warm.
Advance and retreat together to cope with ups and downs.
Kong Zhaozong was entrusted by his elders at home. Firstly, he wanted to give Kong Sangxuan some New Year's gifts to enhance the relationship between the two parties. Secondly, he knew that Gangwon Province was hit by a drought and Kong Sangxuan's family had so many slaves and tenants to feed, so he asked about the grain storage situation.
If it's not enough, Longshan can provide some support.
This was a normal interaction between ordinary nobles. Kong Zhaozong did not expect any complications to arise. After delivering the gifts, he prepared to return to Longshan and welcome the New Year.
But what a coincidence, Yu Junze came to Kong Shangxuan's house to borrow food!
Everyone thought that such a strong mob, consisting of several thousand strong people, even if they were all unorganized peasants, would be able to push away Zhuangzi, which had only a few hundred people. As a result, Yu Jun only took away the grain and then left.
Pat your butt and leave.
After the false alarm, Kong Zhaozong immediately prepared to run back. A peasant uprising was about to happen in Jiangyuan Province, and he did not have any land or manor there. If you are a dead Taoist friend and not a poor Taoist, no matter how close you are to a family, there is no need to follow him here.
Spread the muddy water.
But when he saw the IOU, he couldn't help but say "ouch".
Yu Junze! We are old acquaintances. We, the thorny ones over at Longshan, rely on our own strength to help those unscrupulous people under them resist rent and donations.
Especially what kind of meeting was held to trick men, women, and children into joining the association and work together to resist rent and donations. If this person had not had any bad records of killing people and stealing goods, and he also had a group of young men from the mountain, he would have been arrested by the Longshan government long ago.
Caught him and put him in jail.
These words aroused great interest in Kong Sangxuan. At that time, he had already learned that the Hanyang court was going to send relief ambassadors to Gangwon Province to provide disaster relief and at the same time calm the people and prevent the occurrence of rebellions and uprisings.
If this Yu Junze’s was a Christian church, this matter would be easier to handle!
Even though Princess Jeongsun launched the Xinyou Evil Prison purely for party struggle and to kill all the bigwigs of the current faction, it is undeniable that believing in Christianity in North Korea means believing in counter-religion, which is a capital crime!
The Hanyang court left it alone, but the anti-religious decree to denounce evil was still hanging in the balance. Once a Christian was discovered, the local government would definitely deal with it severely.
Not to mention, when Hong Jing came to Yanjing not long ago, Jiaqing also sent a message to Li Wei, asking him to severely suppress the counter-religion in the country.
This matter requires a citizen to ignore the official. Once it is reported, it must be dealt with immediately. Otherwise, once an official is accused of condoning rebellion, his life will be almost finished.
Kong Shangxuan had been robbed of so much food, so naturally he wanted to cut Yu Junze's body into thousands of pieces and cut him into eight pieces in order to vent his hatred. Now that he got the news, he immediately inquired carefully and finally determined that what could Yu Junze do?
, if there is an act of kneeling down and worshiping the cross, there is no doubt that it is the Christian church.
So Kong Zhaozong didn't leave in a hurry, and went with him to Yuanzhou, waiting for the deputy supervisor of the Hanyang court to arrive, and then made the first move to accuse Yu Junze of being an unbeliever, coercing the people, accumulating strength, and rebelling.
Plot rebellion.
As he expected, Hong Jinglai, who came to provide disaster relief, showed that he did not want to do more than to do less, and refused to deal with Yu Junze at all. Just when Kong Shangxuan was about to use this big killer weapon, Hong Jinglai pulled Yuanzhou up.
Get ready for a big fight.
Compared with revenge, making money and getting rich are obviously more important things!
This matter was put aside for the time being, and even Kong Shangxuan, who counted the coins every day, almost forgot about it. He never thought that the situation would suddenly deteriorate, and competitors would spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
So there is only one way to prevent outsiders from entering Gangwon Province and get Hong Jinglai to immediately issue an order! Disclose the fact that Yu Junze, the rebel leader of the Chungcheong Province, entered Gangwon Province and slander him for deliberately treason. In order to prevent his accomplices
As people continue to enter Gangwon Province, the border must be sealed.
Whether or not Yu Jun is killed is already secondary. Now saving the price of rice in Gangwon Province is Gong Sang-hyun’s goal!
With the banner of arresting and stopping counter-religions, not to mention Hong Jinglai, even Jin Zuchun and Park Zongqing in Beijing could not say anything wrong. After all, money can be made, but counter-religions must be suppressed.
After all, counter-religion shakes people's hearts, corrupts the principles, and is an unforgivable evil!
"Please ask the eunuch to immediately send orders to all counties to prevent outsiders from entering the road, send documents to the sea to capture the rebel Yu Junze!" Kong Shangxuan stated his final purpose.
If all outsiders are prevented from entering, then the grain and rice transported by outsiders will not be able to enter Gangwon Province. All problems will be solved and they can still make a fortune.
"This... this is a serious matter. Please allow me to report it to Your Highness before we make a decision!" Hong Jinglai certainly did not want to close the border and was prepared to use dragging tactics to deal with it.
"There is no need for the eunuch to report to Your Majesty, Your Highness. The students from Longshan Academy have already sent a letter to the Hanyang Mansion to correct the rebellion and lawlessness!"
