"Once Xiazhen is surrendered, the rebels will march straight to Qufu. With members of the Kong family among their troops, what do you think the rebels will do after reaching Qufu?"

The people present were naturally all educated and intelligent people. They might have been a little confused before it was pointed out, but after Zhang Yu pointed it out, they instantly understood it in their hearts.

The Kong family must be dealt with, this is irrefutable.

Previously, Your Majesty was under pressure and did not kill all the members of the Kong family, but instead released Kong Yinzhi. Your Majesty must have felt uncomfortable about this.

Now that the Kong family is involved with the rebels, what will Your Majesty do?

It will definitely go with the flow and make them stir it even deeper.

Once the rebellion gets underway, the Kong family's affairs will be exposed. By that time, no matter how Your Majesty oppresses the Kong family, no one will say a word, and no one will stand by them.

Even if Your Majesty did not kill the Kong family, they would have already fallen into the mud.

After a few people figured this out, they looked at Zhang Yu with a different look.

Clearly, Zhang Yu had guessed something none of them had thought of simply by observing the court's actions. This level of comprehension was unmatched by anyone present.

"You're amazing." Cao Wenzhao looked at Zhang Yu and sighed, "If I have anything in the future, I will still have to consult you, and I can't offend you, otherwise I'm afraid my fate will be very miserable."

"All you have to do is fight well," Zhang Yu said unhappily. "When we enter officialdom, I'll be at the rear and you'll be at the front."

"Let's cooperate with each other to wipe out the wild boar skin and the Tartars. When that time comes, I will be a wise minister, and you will be famous generals throughout the world. Together, we will go down in history."

After hearing this, the atmosphere among the few people eased and they all started laughing.

At this time, Sun Chuanting came over from not far away. After taking a look at the few people, he said with a stern face, "What are you laughing at? Hurry up and get on your way."

A few people looked at each other and laughed again, but their pace quickened a lot.

When Sun Chuanting saw the backs of several people, a smile appeared on his face.

This is the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Sun Chuanting is very young, his qualifications and prestige are not comparable to those of the people in front of him. At the same time, Sun Chuanting is also very trusted by His Majesty, and everyone knows this.

Sun Chuanting is now full of energy.

After suppressing the rebellion this time, Sun Chuanting believed that His Majesty would definitely do something, and then it would be his chance.

After some minor setbacks, the army did not stop and continued to advance towards Juye.

At the same time, Xiazhen fell and the rebel army headed straight for Qufu.

For a moment, the whole world was shaken.

Countless people began to spread the news, and even the capital was shocked three times a day. After all, His Majesty was still in Jining.

At this time, there was no sign of shock in Jining City.

Zhu Youxiao got up in the morning, did a set of boxing, drank a bowl of porridge, and ate two buns.

He felt much better with food in his stomach, and walked out while stretching his muscles.

It is still a little chilly in the early morning, and the cool weather makes people feel very comfortable.

Although summer is about to begin, the weather in late spring is still nice.

After glancing at the rising sun, Zhu Youxiao turned to Chen Hong and said, "What's the news? Tell me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed, "Master Chen Sihai just sent the manuscript over."

"Really?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong with interest and asked, "What happened?"

"There's no problem in Jinan for now," Chen Hong said quickly. "Lord Chen has the situation under control. The Shandong Provincial Governor and the Chief Justice have both been apprehended. Evidence is still being verified, and I believe there will be a result soon. The Shandong Governor has cooperated very well, allocating food and fodder, and commanding the army. Lord Chen said there are no problems."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and waved his hand, signaling Chen Hong to continue.

Chen Hong quickly continued, "We've received reports from the front that Xiazhen has fallen, and the rebels are heading straight for Qufu. Judging from the current situation, I believe they'll be able to capture Qufu in a few days."

Chen Hong also knew something about the court's deployment of troops.

The place of Qufu should have been heavily guarded, but that is not the case now.

There are not many troops in Qufu now. Chen Hong believes that once the rebels arrive in Qufu, those who stay behind will either surrender or flee.

As for the court's current main force, a part of it was taken away by Sun Chuanting and attacked the rebel base in Juye directly.

The other part was stationed in Jining, led by Qi Jin, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

I believe that once the time is ripe, the army here will rush straight to Qufu and wipe out the rebels there.

Chen Hong also knew about the affairs of the Kong family. The emperor clearly wanted to crush the Kong family to death.

Now facing the rebels, the Kong family has two choices: either to defend Qufu to the death or to escape from Qufu.

No matter which option is chosen, it will be a huge blow to the Kong family.

If they defended Qufu to the death, they would surely suffer heavy casualties; if they fled from Qufu and abandoned their homes and businesses, their lives would not be easy either, and they might even be forced to cut ties with Kong Yinzhi.

If it really came to that, the Kong family would really fall into ruin. Of course, there was another way, which was to rebel with the rebels.

Once this path is chosen, the imperial army will wipe out the Kong family as well.
