Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 484
"It's not good, the thief is coming!"

The common people in the field suddenly saw cavalry rolling towards them, they were all scared and wanted to escape while shouting.

This can't be blamed on them. When the world is in chaos, there are thieves and bandits everywhere, but there are more and fewer differences.

When Sun Chuanting led the armies and drove Li Zicheng's troops to the south, the north as a whole was peaceful, but this was only a relative term.

It is impossible for Sun Chuanting's army to wipe out small groups of local bandits, bandits who occupy mountains as kings, bandits who block roads and loot, etc.

These thieves basically still have to be dealt with by the local governments themselves.

And the local guards, which are military forces, have long been ruined, and local security depends mostly on the strength of the people.

If the people are strong, then the thieves may be wiped out earlier, at least they will not loot around on the main road or in broad daylight.

As for the weak people, or the strong bandits, although it is unlikely that things like attacking the county will happen, the wild will not be safe.

It may take a few years for the world to be truly peaceful.

Therefore, when these people in the wild heard the movement, they subconsciously thought that there were bandits.

But soon, they all discovered that it wasn't bandits who came here, but court officers and regular cavalry in Ming military uniforms.

In the past, even if it was the imperial court, they would be afraid.

But in the past two years, the imperial court has severely punished those imperial court officers with corrupt military discipline, such as the most famous Zuo Liangyu's troops, whose heads have been spread all over the world.

Nowadays, it is rare to hear that there are court officials and soldiers harming the people.

As a result, these common people working in the field stopped and watched curiously, staring at the cavalry army heading for Qufu County.

"I haven't heard that there are a large number of bandits here recently. What are there so many cavalry for?"

"Who knows, maybe he was passing by?"

"..."

In this season, those who work in the wild are basically the tenants of the Kong family, or those who have changed their surnames to the Kong family after being sold into the Kong family. Naturally, it is impossible for them to know what Yan Shenggong and others are planning.

For such a cavalry army to come to Qufu, it is more out of curiosity.

However, at the head of the city of Qufu, there is Kong Yinzhi's cronies, Kong Yunchun who will soon be the magistrate of Qufu County, in charge of city defense.

Seeing a cavalry army coming towards Qufu County from a distance, he was immediately frightened, ordered the city gates to be closed, and immediately sent someone to report to the Confucian Mansion.

"It's not good, a cavalry army from the imperial court is about to leave the city!"

"What?" Kong Yinzhi was shocked when he heard it, "Is this coming to Qufu, or passing through Qufu?"

This is something to pay attention to!
If it is said that they are coming to Qufu, it may be related to the affairs of the capital, and the army is sent here, and the matter may be very serious.

But if it is said to be passing through Qufu, it is just a false alarm!

However, as soon as the city saw a cavalry army coming, they rushed over to report, so how could they know if this cavalry army came to Qufu.

Kong Yinzhi couldn't get the answer, thought for a while, and immediately ordered the maid to change him into the official robe of Duke Yansheng.

No matter what, wearing this clothes is a layer of amulet!

………………

Outside the city gate of Qufu, Kong Yunchun saw from the top of the city that this cavalry army was really coming to Qufu and would soon reach the city, so he couldn't help crying secretly.Although the city was full of guards at this time, either the Kong family or the tenants of the Kong family, there was a regular court cavalry outside the city!

It's nothing to say that this army came to Qufu, it must be because of the capital's affairs.

At this time, Kong Yunchun felt a lot of pressure. The imperial court actually sent troops over to show that the matter was serious, and the door was not easy to open!
However, if you don't open the door, there are imperial troops outside, so it doesn't make sense!

But soon, he remembered that in the past, the situation encountered in various places was that the city gates were closed, and the imperial court officers and soldiers were not allowed to enter!
Even the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty led the army, but the result was still not allowed to enter.Although Jin Yiwei later arrested the magistrate, he finally released him.

Thinking of this, Kong Yunchun felt confident.

No matter what, don't open the door first, avoid the limelight for a while, determine how the punishment will be, and then see if you can activate the relationship and reduce the punishment.

Just as he was thinking, the cavalry led by Liu Wenxiu outside the city had already arrived at Qufu City.

Seeing that the gates of the city were closed tightly and the guards on the top of the city seemed to be ready for battle, Liu Wenxiu didn't panic at all, and didn't retreat even a stone's throw away.

Because he could tell at a glance that the guards on the top of the city were all panicked, and they didn't have the kind of determination to defend the city when they were attacking the city before.

Seeing that the city gates were closed, the eunuchs in the team came out more and shouted at the top of the city: "The imperial decree is here, open the city gate quickly, and let Yan Shenggong receive the decree!"

When Kong Yunchun heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Is it to preach the decree to Yan Shenggong?
Before delivering the decree, this is tantamount to the presence of the royal family, who dares to close the city gate?
If it is from another place, since you have made up your mind not to let the army enter the city, and go to the capital first to engage in relations, then even if there is a decree outside the city, you can still come up with reasons, such as fakes, etc., to prevaricate;
However, for people like the Kong family, the most intriguing thing is actually the fight for the county magistrate of Qufu, and they know each other well.

Once you encounter people and things outside, your intelligence can drop several notches.

This type is the so-called insider fighting insider and outsider fighting outsider.

Kong Yunchun couldn't bear the huge pressure from the outside world, and finally obediently went to open the city gate.

After all, the Kong family is still a moth raised by the past dynasties. If it does not experience wind and rain, it is a fat sheep to be slaughtered!
As soon as the city gate opened, Liu Wenxiu just waved his hand, and his cavalry immediately rushed into Qufu County.

Immediately, cavalry soldiers appeared everywhere near the city gate and on the top of the city, and loud shouts and reprimands rang out one after another.

"Put down your weapon, put your hands on your head..."

"Whispering, hurry up..."

"..."

Kong Yunchun stared dumbfounded at these court officers and soldiers, all of them disarmed Qufu guards fiercely, without giving them any face.

This kind of treatment has never been encountered before.The members of the Kong family, no matter where they go, or others come to Qufu, they are always respectful!
If the people who came here this time were led by civil servants, they might be as polite as he thought.

However, this time, it was an army of bandit origin, plus Xichang and eunuchs who passed the decree.No matter which one, they didn't take the Confucius family in Qufu seriously.

In their hearts, how old is the Confucius family in Qufu?

At this moment, Kong Yinzhi hurried over wearing Yan Shenggong's official uniform.

It was sitting in eight sedan chairs, and the Confucian family who were in charge of the Confucian mansion also followed.

One of them, seeing the movement at the door, lost the usual arrogance of the Kong family, and hurriedly shouted: "I have something to say, I have something to say, Duke Yansheng is here!"

They seemed to think that no matter what happened, the imperial court would always give Yan Shenggong a face.

After all, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Yan Shenggong was originally only a third-rank, but was promoted to first-rank by Emperor Taizu, and the subsequent emperors also respected Yan Shenggong very much.Even the current emperor respected Yan Shenggong very much in the past.

Kong Yinzhi arranged his clothes in the sedan chair, and gave himself a little more courage: It's okay, it's okay, things will definitely not be particularly bad, at most, this Yan Shenggong didn't deserve it, but it's a pity that his son is only eight years old, and he doesn't know what to do. I know whether the emperor is willing to let his son take over the title of Duke Yansheng.

Wishful thinking, after the sedan chair stopped, he got out of the sedan chair.

Originally, Kong Yinzhi wanted to put on the posture of Yan Shenggong, no matter what, he couldn't bear Kong Sheng's name, so that it would be convenient to bargain later.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got out of the sedan chair, the eunuch who passed the decree shouted coldly: "Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi stepped forward to listen to the decree!"

Kong Yinzhi was taken aback for a moment, didn't he want to go back and set up an incense case to receive the order?Just accept the order?What kind of system is this?

The dignified Lord Yansheng just kneels on such a dirty road?

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a heavy hum.

Suddenly, Kong Yinzhi was taken aback. He looked up and saw that the eunuch who passed the decree, the general, and others were all staring at him, as if they would kill someone if they didn't agree with each other. Soft, immediately knelt down.

The group of stewards of the Confucian mansion whom he brought saw him kneeling, and they also knelt down one after another.

Under the watchful eyes of Liu Wenxiu and others, there was still a bit of the superiority of the Confucian family.

When the eunuch who delivered the decree saw it, he immediately unfolded the decree and read it aloud.

In the cadence of reading the imperial decree, Kong Yinzhi just listened to it for a while, but couldn't kneel anymore, and collapsed on the ground.

He never expected that something would happen?He was actually charged with mobilizing a crowd for treason!
Gathering people to rebel is a serious crime against the Nine Clans!
When did the Kong family rebel?Throughout the dynasties, they have always been obedient to the imperial court!

This matter is really unfair!

Fear never before emerged from the bottom of Kong Yinzhi's heart. He couldn't even hear the second half of the imperial decree. He was trembling and wanted to explain a few words, but his mouth was trembling, but he couldn't speak. Come on.

After the decree eunuch read the imperial decree, seeing the ugly appearance of the Kong family in front of him, he couldn't help being very contemptuous in his heart. He is still after Confucius, and he has no integrity at all!No, worse than ordinary people!
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Liu Wenxiu and said, "Take him!"

When Liu Wenxiu saw this Yan Shenggong's ugly appearance, he also despised him in his heart. He immediately waved his hand, and his subordinates rushed over, knocked off Yan Shenggong's official hat, and set him up.

At this time, Liu Wenxiu discovered that the ground was actually wet.
