Therefore, in the eyes of Kong Yinzhi, this eunuch named Li Jinzhong is just a fool who has just been favored and is eager to use the emperor's name to run out to fight against the autumn wind. To deal with such a person, you only need to force him into a corner first and then give him some benefits. , everything is solved!
With this in mind, Kong Yinzhi's face suddenly turned cold. He straightened up and cupped his fists and said, "What Eunuch Li said is serious. Although some unfilial children in the Kong family have violated the ancestral precepts, most of the Kong family are still good. Yes, Eunuch Li, please report the truth to the Holy One. If the Holy One feels that the Kong family's crime is unpardonable, he can escort the entire Kong family to Beijing for punishment!"
"Hahahaha!" Li Jinzhong was not afraid when he saw this. Instead, he laughed. His laughter confused Kong Yinzhi!
"What are Eunuch Li laughing at?" Kong Yinzhi frowned and asked in a cold tone.
"We were laughing at your Majesty's discernment, and then you thought our family should be guilty and scared. Then you sent us away with three melons and two dates, and this matter ended like this. Did you?" Li Jinzhong laughed so hard that tears came out. While wiping his tears, he asked Kong Yinzhi!
Seeing that his mind was exposed, Kong Yinzhi panicked again. He had heard an unusual message from Li Jinzhong's words, that is, the person who wanted to deal with the Kong family was not Li Jinzhong, the eunuch, but the Emperor of the Ming Empire behind him!
Li Jinzhong saw Kong Yinzhi dumbfounded on the spot again, patted his shoulder and whispered: "Our family has no time to fool you, Young Master. Your Majesty's meaning is very simple. You can use Yan Shenggong and Kong In the name of your family, write to the court to request the return of all the acres of land occupied by the Confucius family. In addition, request the Confucius family to pay taxes on the remaining acres of land and merchants. The land tax is based on the court system, and merchants¡¯ taxes will be paid at 30%. In addition, you must publicly support the general public. Study, it will be good for you to do these things well!"
"Impossible!" Kong Yinzhi, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, jumped on his feet and shouted: "My Kong family cannot afford to lose this person, nor can we go against the scholars in the world, even if the emperor today kills the entire Kong family. It can¡¯t be done either!¡±
"Shh!" Li Jinzhong put his index finger in front of his lips, made a gesture to quiet Kong Yinzhi, and said with a smile: "Don't always use the Kong family to scare people. You are you, and the Kong family is the Kong family. Your Kong family will be here, and the Kong family will still be here without you, but we don¡¯t know who Yan Shenggong is!"
Kong Yinzhi was stunned and immediately understood what Li Jinzhong meant. He couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart, but he still said stubbornly: "My uncle has no descendants. I am the eldest son of this generation of the Kong family, and I hold the title of Holy Duke." Who else but me?¡±
"Hey!" Li Jinzhong did not hide his contempt, pointed with his chin at the children of the Kong family who were stretching their necks and staring, and said: "You are the eldest son of Kong, but if you have made any mistakes, , if you are punished by Your Majesty, won¡¯t you be unable to succeed Yan Shenggong? According to our family, there are probably many people in the Kong family who are willing to step on you!"
Cold sweat flowed down Kong Yinzhi's forehead again. He knew very well that the Kong family now had a great business and had many direct descendants. If the little emperor in Beijing really caught his sore foot, how could he compete for the title of Duke Yansheng? There are really many people in the seats!
You must know that this is not a matter of personal power and position, but a major event related to one's descendants. If Kong Yinzhi can succeed Yan Shenggong, then his branch will be the main line of the Kong family, and his descendants will enjoy glory. Wealth!
But if Kong Yinzhi is stepped on, let alone his own fate, I am afraid that his descendants will be beaten into dust within three generations. Thinking of this, Kong Yinzhi¡¯s original plan to carry it to the end began to waver!
Who is Li Jinzhong?
That is the future star of the eunuch, and his ability to observe people's emotions is absolutely top-notch. Naturally, Kong Yinzhi's thoughts cannot escape his eyes!
"Hehehehe!" Li Jinzhong smiled slightly and said seductively: "Young Master, you don't need to think too much about this matter. Your Majesty is the Holy Lord who wants to revive the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty has even reported taxes to the Imperial Manor. If the Kong family doesn't keep up, I'm afraid it will go against His Majesty's wishes. Even though the Ming Dynasty still needs the Kong family as a brand, the root of this brand is Old Master Kong. As for who has the final say about the Kong family, do you think your Majesty will? Choose an obedient person?¡±
Kong Yinzhi had also heard about the taxation of the Imperial Manor, but at that time the entire Kong family did not take it seriously. Some people even said: Even if the emperor pays taxes, the Kong family does not need to worry about it. Who makes the Kong family among the saints? Home, are you protected by the Holy Master?
This kind of statement is the overwhelming majority among the Confucius family, and Kong Yinzhi naturally also holds this mentality. It is said that there is no dynasty for a thousand years, but there is a Confucius family for a thousand years. This is not for nothing!
But Kong Yinzhi didn¡¯t expect that this kind of thing would really happenThe Kong family, and the current little emperor is even more ruthless. Not only does he want the Kong family to return all the occupied land, but most importantly, he also wants the Kong family¡¯s fields and merchants to pay taxes. If such a thing is done, Kong Not to mention how much money and land the family has lost, it is equivalent to offending all the scholars in the world!
Seeing Kong Yinzhi constantly wiping his sweat without speaking, Li Jinzhong¡¯s trustworthiness gradually disappeared!
"Hmph!" Li Jinzhong sneered and said: "Since the young master is not willing, then our family can't force it. We can only report to your majesty truthfully. When the time comes, the young master had better be prepared. He will be stepped on in the mud." The smell of the ground is unpleasant!"
"Wait a minute!" Kong Yinzhi was startled by Li Jinzhong and said quickly: "Eunuch Li, can we discuss this matter?"
Li Jinzhong glanced at Kong Yinzhi and asked lazily: "How do you want to discuss it, young master?"
After Kong Yinzhi thought for a moment, he leaned back and said: "The Kong family will return all the occupied land, and the merchants who put it in the name of the servants can also pay taxes. It's just the land given to the Kong family by the court. Please ask the court not to collect taxes. How much does that cost?" Also save some face for the Kong family!"
Li Jinzhong pointed at Kong Yinzhi and said with a smile: "Young Master is really a smart man. He would rather give up his wealth than offend those scholars. But since Young Master has given in, it can be regarded as a favor for our family. This matter Please ask the Young Master to submit a petition in person. As for the Young Master¡¯s request, our family will report it to Your Majesty. As for whether His Majesty agrees, it depends on the Young Master¡¯s luck!¡±
Kong Yinzhi was overjoyed when he heard this. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Eunuch Li, for making it happen. As long as this is done, the Kong family will definitely not forget Eunuch Li's great kindness!"
Li Jinzhong's face suddenly darkened and he said solemnly: "Our family is His Majesty's domestic slaves and has nothing to do with your Kong family. The young master does not need to remember the benefits of our family. Besides, our family does not have the ability to provide the Kong family with anything." What benefits? Only your Majesty can give the benefits to the Kong family. The young master must also restrain the words and deeds of the children of the Kong family in the future. Those bastard words like there is no thousand-year court, only the thousand-year Kong family, it is best not to spread, otherwise it will be forgotten. Your Majesty won¡¯t spare the Young Master lightly even if he doesn¡¯t touch the Kong family!¡±
Kong Yinzhi was surprised. The Kong family has remained standing for so many years, which has given the clan members an unparalleled sense of pride. They even had a slight contempt for the imperial court, so much so that many of the disciples expressed disrespect for the imperial court!
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done blatantly. At the same time, the court turned a blind eye, so no major incident occurred. However, if the court or the emperor got serious about it, then even if the Kong family would not be finished, it would still be inevitable. It¡¯s a big price to pay!
¡°Obviously, the present His Majesty is not a generous master and is not willing to tolerate the Kong family, so Kong Yinzhi took Li Jinzhong¡¯s words to heart!
"Thank you Eunuch Li for the tip, Maojia will remember it!" Kong Yinzhi bowed to Li Jinzhong again!
Li Jinzhong also smiled and returned the courtesy, and both parties finally had some sense of enjoyment as guest and host!
