The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

"This world will not lose all humanity and righteousness and become a nation of beasts!!"

Kong Yuguo was so excited that he was speechless, and was finally taken away by the eunuchs crying.

"Good, very good." Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Kong Yuguo off.

This Duke Yansheng is so easy to fool.

Daotong?

Who cares about that stuff?

The important thing is that Kong Yugou only needs to offend the King of Dian.

Given the King of Dian's personality, it is hard to say that he would not go to Shandong to cause some minor friction.

By then, we can buy some time.

Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong's plan was absolutely correct.

Shu Yichao, who had just captured Kaifeng and was about to continue northward, was soon attracted by the Yansheng Duke of Shandong.

"Wait, what the hell is this?"

"Dare to wash my thoughts?"

Chapter 797 - Shi Xiu's Surrender

Qufu.

the Kongs.

A piece of white rice paper had been spread out on the agarwood desk in front of Yanshenggong Kong Yuban.

The handsome servant next to him was grinding ink for him.

The house is filled with smoke from incense, and coupled with the classical and elegant interior decoration, it makes people feel as if they are in a fairyland.

"call"

After pondering for a long time, Kong Yugou picked up his brush and splashed ink.

Soon, a letter of flattery from Ah Shi that was so corny that it could be said to be extremely appeared on the paper.

"gentlemen."

The content of the letter made several of Kong Yugou's staff members, who were dressed like scholars, frown at the same time.

"This watch"

"Isn't that a bit too explicit?"

Yes.

The Kong family in Qufu has always been a place where everyone kneels before them.

But as a descendant of Confucius, no matter what, we still have to maintain basic dignity.

Even if the flattering words are from Ah Shi, they must be so comfortable that one cannot even detect them.

This memorial from Kong Yugou is completely different from his original level.

and………

Advise... to enter the table?

The great cute emperor is still here.

It's not very suitable.

"You don't understand this."

Kong Yugou stroked his beard proudly.

"I've heard that the king is not very literate."

“Even the meaning of the Analects has been completely messed up.”

"If this petition isn't clear enough for a three-year-old to understand, how will the Heavenly King know what we mean?"

"Besides, it's only a matter of time before the Heavenly King becomes the Emperor."

"We should advise... to enter the table early, so that the king will remember our kindness."

Think about it, the advice after the saints...

What a huge political capital this will bring to the king.

As long as the king has that idea, he will definitely accept it with joy.

"Is that so?" The staff around Kong Yugou nodded in agreement.

"Sir, you are truly thoughtful."

They all looked relaxed, not seeming to be worried at all about the plant troops heading towards Qufu.

In fact, the Kong family had never anticipated that Shu Yichao would bring the butcher knife down on their heads.

First of all, even though Shu Yichao in the south killed a lot of people, those people were just determined to go against the King.

Since you insist on being stubborn, don't blame others for playing the Nine Clans Candy Crush game.

Try the Kong family instead?

Guaranteed to kneel down quickly!

And the posture is particularly beautiful.

Secondly, as descendants of Confucius, the Kong family has been a wealthy and powerful family that has always enjoyed unwavering respect throughout the dynasties and can be called a true thousand-year-old family.

As long as the king still wants to win the hearts of the scholars in the world, he must win over the Kong family.

Throughout the dynasties, the Confucius Mansion in Qufu was only rewarded with gold, silver, titles and land as a token of favor, but there has never been a precedent of levying money and taxes on the descendants of the saint.

Since ancient times, there has been no such thing as conquering the world immediately, and even the king of heaven must understand this principle.

As for the so-called "destruction of Confucianism" by the Heavenly King, Kong Yugou was the first to disbelieve it.

Isn't it just about testing some other skills?

What are these people trying to do when they are desperate?

He had heard that a large number of scholars in the south were clamoring to draw a clear line between themselves and the corrupt scholars, to restore the glory of ancient Confucianism, and to recover the six arts of a gentleman.

If the Heavenly King really intended to kill all the scholars in the world, how could such a scholar appear?

It can be seen that it is nothing more than the Confucian scholars quarreling again.

It couldn't be more normal.

In short, Kong Yuban was ready to kneel down and beg for mercy.

He was just waiting for Shu Yichao's troops to arrive, and then he would bow down in worship.

In order to make the king happy, Kong Yugou racked his brains to collect a batch of rare antiques, waiting to present them to Shu Yichao.

"But sir." Some of Kong Yugou's staff still had doubts.

"Regardless of whether the extermination of Confucianism is true or false."

"The land division thing is real."

"What we do is tantamount to offending the local scholars."

You know, Shandong implemented the "New Deal" of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong for a period of time.

The gentry who have tasted the sweetness will certainly not be willing to give up the land in their hands.

As for the king, there is no room for negotiation on this matter.

If you don't hand over the land, you will hand over your life.

As a descendant of Confucius, Kong Yugou's land belonging to Duke Yansheng would probably not be touched by the Heavenly King, but for other scholars...

In this way, wouldn't Kong Yugou be considered a traitor in the eyes of the local gentry?

"Why should I be afraid of them?" Kong Yugou was confident about this.

Originally, the Kong family was unable to command the scholars of the world.

It doesn't matter whether you offend them or not.

They were stabbed in the back by scholars more than once or twice.

The key is that someone must carry the Kong family's reputation.

The bloodline of Duke Yansheng's family is not limited to Kong Yugou.

It's just the north hole, there's also a south hole on the south side.

If he doesn't kneel down quickly-

What should we do if the Heavenly King helps Nan Kong to rise up?

How can Kong Yuban's prosperity and wealth be guaranteed?

"And I have discussed this with them." Kong Yugou continued to explain.

Because Shu Yichao's methods were too cruel, even the proud gentry had to lower their heads at this moment and think about whether to leave some way out.

After all, Shu Yichao is really cruel. If he says he will kill the whole family, then he will really kill the whole family.

Some of them were also connected with the Kong family.

This time, I plan to let the Kong family submit a petition first to set an example so that we can communicate with Shu Yichao.

If it really doesn't work, let's give up some land.

In this way, the Kong family demonstrated its role in pacifying the hearts of scholars throughout the world. The gentry returned less land, and some of the tenants below were also able to share the land. The king also gained a high reputation, paving the way for his future title of emperor.

Isn’t this a win-win-win situation?

Kong Yugou had a nice idea, but...

“Plop!!”

After a loud bang, a man in gorgeous clothes suddenly fell off his horse on the road leading to Qufu.

A bright red blood mist gushed out from his body, followed by white, flowery, black, and green blood mists that scattered all over the ground.

"ah!!"

"Run away!"

"Help!"

The slaves who followed him scattered immediately.

They never imagined that they were just delivering a letter, and it was a letter from the Kong family in Qufu, so why would those soldiers on the other side, those soldiers with Ming Dynasty flags, just open fire without caring about anything?

reason?

Naturally, Shu Yichao felt offended.

Because his industrialization thought is in full swing.

The steam engine could be put into use after some improvements, and steelmaking technology was also making steady progress, and the research on rails was also progressing at the same time...

No matter how you look at it, the next step will be industrialization and the republicanization of the Ming Dynasty.

The results of it?

There are actually people who are resisting his thoughts!?

[You have encountered a new event: World Repair Surrender.]

Your series of brilliant victories in the South and the Central Plains have made the world see the situation clearly. The Great Wrong Kingdom will no longer exist, and the garbage of the past will be completely swept into the trash heap...

[Now that the situation has become clear, the Kong family of Qufu is ready to change their stance.]

[For them, it is not shameful to obey a newly emerged strong man.]

[The Kong family has considerable influence in a significant portion of southern Shandong. Will you accept their surrender, or even persuade them to submit?]

If you choose Yes, the progress of Industrialization will be reduced by 10%, Shandong's stability will be increased by 15%, taxes will be reduced by 20%, and the monarchy will be strengthened by 25%...

If you choose No, Shandong's stability will decrease by 30%, and bandits and militia will spawn. The population will decrease by 10% for a short period of time, and land improvement progress will decrease by 5%. The spread of republican ideas will also increase...
