Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 544 Please kill the Holy Duke!
No one doubted this threat from the Ming Emperor.

Not long after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the army and horses were strong. Even the Yuan Dynasty, which had previously made Goryeo tremble and regarded it as an invincible country, had been driven to Mobei by the Ming Dynasty; Go to Beijing and come to court, grovel... If the Ming Dynasty is determined to destroy Goryeo, what can Goryeo use to resist?
Zheng Mengzhou was not the confused Goguryeo king Wang You, who arrogantly believed that even if the Ming Dynasty came to attack, he could drag down the Ming army like Goguryeo in the past when it pushed back Emperor Sui Yang and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Nowadays, the interior of Goryeo is full of wars. The powerful ministers in the court are fighting with each other, and the leading generals outside the court are watching covetously.He, Zheng Mengzhou, came up with this strategy because he sincerely wanted everyone in Goryeo to rely wholeheartedly on the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, our country, Goryeo, is very loyal to our country. Your Majesty, the foreign minister is really just trying to calm down the discussion in the country. But in one day, how dare I, Goryeo, dare to sincerely submit to the Ming Dynasty... The foreign minister really wants to teach Goryeo to submit to the Ming Dynasty! "

"Mr. Yan Shenggong, Mr. Yan Shenggong, please help us!"

"How dare you dare to accuse the Holy Duke?" Lao Zhu looked at Zheng Mengzhou who was kneeling under Kong Xixue, his eyes became even more angry. "Come on, drag this thief down and drive him out of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Send another imperial edict to Xu Da, asking him to first impose a martial law on Liaodong and cut off all contact with Goryeo!"

Zheng Mengzhou was dragged down. Even after he was dragged out of the palace, he still cried and howled all the way.Lao Zhu first snorted, and then spoke to the other envoys from the foreign countries: "Korea is a country of villains, with leaders and rats on both ends. In order to deceive our Ming Dynasty, I actually let this guy incite you to wait."

"Don't worry, our Ming Dynasty is not a barbarian country like the former Yuan Dynasty. As long as you are sincere and respectful to our Ming Dynasty, take the initiative to learn the Ming Dynasty etiquette, and bathe in the Ming Dynasty's royal status, our Ming Dynasty will naturally not embarrass you."

"As long as you sincerely respect the Ming Dynasty King Hua, we will naturally treat you as our own family."

"When the barbarians come, we will take the lead and lead you to drive them away, just like we raised troops to drive out the Yuan Dynasty. When you are in trouble, our Ming Dynasty will not hesitate to help you, just like we helped the Japanese country to suppress the rebellion. As long as we also respect our Chinese culture , your relationship with our Daming is like that of people from the same clan. As the clan leader, we, Daming, will naturally lead you to live a prosperous life!"

What I said was so heart-breaking.The envoys from various countries had seen the emperor's anger just now, and now they received such a promise of almost guaranteed profit. They were all moved inexplicably, and they all bowed down to express their gratitude.The reckless envoy from the Lu Song Kingdom turned red-eyed and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the Emperor, forgive me. The foreign minister deserves to die. I listened to the slanderous words of the Goryeo envoy..."

"I, Luzon, will definitely serve the Emperor Khan of Tomorrow wholeheartedly and fight for the sake of the country!"

Among the envoys from other countries, there was endless praise for Lao Zhu and the Ming Dynasty. The cry of "Khan of Heaven" also continued for a long time.

It is actually too late to call "Tian Khan" at this time. After all, the Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the level of the Taizong Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty.But Lao Zhu did not speak modestly. When Tian Khan heard this sound, he had a different thought.

These three words are not worthy of our Ming Dynasty.In the future, our Ming Dynasty will naturally become a more legitimate "Khan of Heaven" than the Tang Dynasty!
"Shenggong Yan." Amidst the praises of the envoys, Lao Zhu turned his attention to Kong Xixue, the Duke of Yansheng.At this time, Kong Xixue was already sweating heavily on his forehead, and he was constantly weighing things in his mind.

Suddenly hearing the emperor's call, he hurriedly turned back: "Your Majesty, I am here."

"Zheng Mengzhou called you just before he left... Why, you also support Zheng Mengzhou and encourage us to ban Xinxue?"

Kong Xixue's pupils trembled and he quickly wiped his sweat.In his heart, he secretly resented that the Korean thief had given him a bad idea, asking him to incite the foreign envoys to persuade the emperor... Now that his affair with the Korean leader and the rat was exposed by His Highness the Fifth Prince, the emperor hated the whole family and turned against himself, the descendant saint. My father-in-law also hated me.However, among the new students, there were many people like Yang Shiqi who advocated re-establishing the Hundred Schools of thought.If we can't make a new start in one go, I'm afraid the new school will become even more arrogant in the future.Even if dynasties change and barbarians take over, the Kong family will remain strong.But this matter is related to the foundation of the Kong family...

Gritting his teeth, Kong Xixue still decided to give it a try.Again, Kong Xixue can be destroyed, but Duke Yansheng's mansion cannot be destroyed.

"Your Majesty clearly knows that Zheng Mengzhou is afraid of new learning, but he actually has selfish motives. I am different from what he is doing, so naturally I can't support him."

"However, I really want to ask your majesty to ban the new learning... a new learning distorts the knowledge of the saints. As a descendant of the saints, I, Yanshenggongfu, should step forward to safeguard the orthodoxy of the ancestors' knowledge."

"The second is the ambition of a newly learned wolf, with the intention of revitalizing a hundred schools of thought. Scholars of a hundred schools of thought are also the way to harm the country. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, I should remonstrate with all my heart and eliminate this cancer for the future of the Ming Dynasty..."

He no longer grasped the "pioneering and enterprising" external philosophy of the Xinxue, but started from the other two points, insisting that the Xinxue was inherited incorrectly and harmed the country and the people.After all, Confucianism is the knowledge of his Confucius family. If he insists that the new learning is not what Confucius originally intended, people all over the world will naturally have the best excuse to criticize the new learning.Moreover, Yang Shiqi's slogan of "reviving hundreds of schools of thought" has already been widely circulated, which is irrefutable for the new school of thought.As long as he insists on these two points, even if Lao Zhu kills him in anger, Xinxue will never recover from this.

It can be said that at this time, Kong Xixue was already resigned to death.

"Lao Wu, what do you say?" Contrary to Kong Xixue's expectation, Lao Zhu did not get angry and let his left and right men push him out and behead him.

"What a coincidence, father. Duke Yansheng said two things, and I happened to have two things to report." Zhu Su said calmly.

"speak."

"Yes. First, I would like to ask my father to... revoke the name and title of the Shenggong Mansion, remove his fiefdom, and return him to the common people. From now on, he will no longer treat the Kong family differently. "

"Being knighted by the Confucius family is really harmful. Whether it is for the sake of Confucius and other Confucian sages, or for the future of the Ming Dynasty, it is really not appropriate to knight the Confucius family!"

Zhu Su said it easily, but these words caused a greater shock than when Zheng Mengzhou was taken away just now.Everyone in the palace, regardless of their civil service or rank, had a look of shock on their faces. They did not expect that His Highness the Fifth Prince's counterattack would be so earth-shattering.

Kong Xixue was stunned and looked at Zhu Su blankly. He did not expect that he was ready to fight with his life, but the fifth prince wanted not only his own life, but also directly Dig out the roots of the Kong family!
"Bastard son, you..." Kong Xixue was furious. Halfway through his words, he remembered that this son had an extraordinary status and swallowed the curse words abruptly.

"Why did you say that? Tell me in detail." Lao Zhu glanced at Kong Xixue lightly, but did not pursue further questions. He just continued to question Zhu Sudao.But his unsurprised expression and Gu Jing's unwavering tone chilled Kong Xixue to the bone.
