Back to the capital!

Social death.

Now it is a complete social death.

——Although the good-hearted official does not know the word "social death", this is almost his mood now.

On the road, he met colleague 1, who greeted him with a smile: "Brother, are your hemorrhoids better?"

While fishing by the water, he met colleague 2, who was particularly concerned about him: "Brother, you have hemorrhoids, you can't sit for a long time."

Even the emperor heard about this and sent a doctor to see if he could be cured.

At this moment, the good-hearted official simply couldn't help but shed sad tears.

It hurts! It hurts so much! He will never do this again in the future.

If he goes to join in the fun in the future, he will -

"Eh? Have you heard? The family who claims that their son is the reincarnation of Confucius was visited by the Kong family!"

"Which Kong family?! Could it be..."

"Of course it's the Kong family in Qufu!"

"Did they receive the news so quickly?" "

That's not the case. It just so happened that a dozen Kong family members came to Liaoning together. When they heard the news, they drew their swords and came to the door."

"Go, go, go! Go quickly! If you go too late, your house might be demolished!"

The ambitious and vigorous official who had just made the vow suddenly stopped.

This...

His eyes rolled left and right.

Should he go or not? Otherwise, he should go to join in the last fun! He swore! He would not go after joining in this fun!

The Gu Mansion is very lively.

All dynasties have attached great importance to the Confucius Temple and the Confucius Forest, thus creating the thousand-year-old Kong family in Qufu.

The Kong family is the descendant of the saints and sages. When they heard that someone was cheating in the name of their ancestors, they were eating and almost choked on the meatballs. After a violent cough, they picked up their swords and went to the door.

"Gu Zhuan, right?" The Kong family laughed coldly: "I heard that you told people everywhere that your son is the reincarnation of my ancestor? Then should we also kneel down, call you ancestor, and burn three incense sticks for you?"

Gu Zhuan's face changed when he heard it.

He originally thought that the Kong family was far away in Qufu and could not reach them. When the news here spread, they would send people to investigate. After a few rounds, he would have already gained enough fame and escaped.

[This man not only said that Confucius was his son! He also openly tampered with the meaning of Confucius' words! ]

Xu Yanmiao's inner voice was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, but people were very cautious and prudent. The nosy official could only hear people's inner voices. He looked left and right, but couldn't find anyone hiding somewhere to watch the excitement.

The nosy official's expression became strange. He struggled for two or three breaths, but still couldn't control his desire to watch the excitement. He dived into the crowd, pinched his nose and shouted: "Gu Qian had previously publicly declared in an academy that 'Only the wisest and the stupidest are unchangeable' means 'Noble people are destined to be noble, and lowly people are destined to be lowly'!"

Gu Qian's heart suddenly "flipped" and jumped hard, like a fish out of water on the shore, a panicked last jump.

The next moment, he felt the cold gaze of the Kong family - no longer the anger of the previous dispute of wills, but a kind of cold and solidified murderous intent that burst out after their own interests were violated. Gu Zhun's throat seemed to be strangled by a cold and hard iron hand, and he could hardly breathe.

If he joked about Confucius, it would only offend the ancestors who lived thousands of years ago, but privately tampering with the meaning of Confucius's words would violate the most fundamental and practical interests of the Kong family.

- Nowadays, most students in the world use the Kong family's annotations as their own annotations. The Kong family is the authority in Confucianism. The exclusive right to the annotation of Confucianism is equivalent to their forbidden food, the money-making rocking tree, and the cornerstone of their reputation. Whoever wants to touch it can do so.

Gu Qian didn't have a sword on him. He stepped back suddenly, with a look of alert: "Descendant of a saint, do you want to use your reputation to bully others? Do you want to use the Kong family to bully a little scholar like me?"

The Kong family smiled and said, "How could it be possible?"

The smile on Gu Qian's face that said "everything is under control" had not yet fully bloomed, but he turned around with the Kong family, saluted in a certain direction, and shouted "Your Majesty, please make the decision", and his mouth froze.

The crowd dispersed on both sides, and the old emperor walked out with a dragon-like stride, and asked in a steady voice: "What decision do I make?"

The Kong family recounted Gu Qian's words and deeds in a few words. Observing the old emperor's thoughtful expression, the Kong family had no expression on their faces, but they were somewhat relieved in their hearts.

They are not stupid. The Kong family is the descendant of sages, not the stupid descendants of sages. Why not rely on the court if they can? The great sage has no army. The pen cannot beat the gun. They should just be honest and serve as ministers, and don't put on airs of a thousand-year-old family.

——In front of muskets and cannons, a thousand-year-old family is nothing.

The old emperor was just pretending to ponder.

After all, he still remembered the phrase "the second generation will be dead" in his heart, and he had been looking for an opportunity to completely crush this virtuous lady to death. Now it's really... a pillow for a sleepyhead.

After two or three breaths, he frowned pretentiously: "Gu Qian, you first insulted the person of Confucius, and then insulted the words of Confucius. You are really unworthy of being a scholar..."

But how should he be punished to vent his anger?

[Take off his clothes! Let him farm by himself! Xu Yanmiao's voice was full of eagerness. [Doesn't he think that the lower class is lowly? Then don't use the silkworms raised by the lower class to weave clothes! Don't eat the rice grown by the lower class!] The

old emperor's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Come here! Take this man away and lock him up!"

Gu Zhen's eyes were full of expectation, and the expectation was even stronger.

Instead, the Kong family frowned in confusion.

Just... lock him up? This is too light?

Before the Jinyiwei took him away, the old emperor smiled and said, "However, since Master Gu is very confident in his words, why not just follow his words?"

"What...?" Before Gu Zhen had time to think carefully, he felt a breath of cold air rushing from his chest to his head, and his brain was dizzy again and again.

Then, the old emperor's face sank, and he said in a loud voice: "Strip his clothes! Since you look down on the lower class, don't wear clothes made by the lower class!"

In the crowd, Xu Yanmiao replayed the old emperor's words in shock, and touched his head in shock.

[Wow! I can actually guess the emperor's thoughts by coincidence once! I'm so awesome! ]

Gu Zhong's thoughts were nothing compared to the word "stripping clothes". He was completely stunned and could only struggle and shout: "Your Majesty! It's insulting! It's really insulting!"

The old emperor smiled but didn't smile: "I, a beggar who climbed to the throne, don't know what it means to be polite."

Gu Zhong suddenly reacted and shuddered obviously. He seemed to want to explain something. For example, his words were not directed at the emperor's origin, but to express that the emperor was destined by heaven and was favored by heaven.

He was a true emperor. All his words were for your majesty's rule!

"I... I..." Every syllable revealed fear. Because Gu Zhong found that he didn't know who had let the emperor take the lead, so no matter what he said at this moment, it would be a sophistry for the emperor.

The old emperor's voice became even colder: "Sinner Gu Qian! From today on, if you want clothes, you must buy them yourself; if you want to eat, you must cultivate your own land; if you want to use pottery bowls and plates, you must make them yourself! The same goes for the rest!"

Even the Kong family members who were unhappy with Gu Qian were stunned.

This... this is too miserable!

[Hiss - well, I thought I could think the same as the emperor, but now it seems that I am still not as good as him. ]

[This is directly making people worse than ordinary people, and directly degenerating into mountain cave people, right? ! ]

The old emperor was angry, but he couldn't help but split a little bit of his mind, curious: What the hell are mountain cave people?

The people around were shocked, and after the shock, they applauded.

Three or five voices shouted out: "It should be so!"

They said they could only be inferiors for the rest of their lives, they said they were despicable, but they were not made of clay and had no temper!

Gu Qian was stripped naked in front of everyone, the old emperor really didn't give him any face, Gu Qian held his head: "How could this happen! Why did it become like this!" He was dragged away by the Jinyiwei in a daze. The

Kong family looked at each other and bowed in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty." However, the distance was as far as it could be within etiquette.

It took the old emperor ten breaths to react before he realized that these people were warning him.

The old emperor: "..."

Forget it. It's better to have awe than not to have it, right, Mr. Xu?

Lightning streaked across the sky, thunder roared across the dark sky, and heavy rain poured down.

In a blink of an eye, it was November.

At this time, Marquis Yongchang stood on the big ship and led the navy to Japan.

The matter of attacking Japan puzzled many navy soldiers.

Such a poor place, it is said that there are evil winds from time to time, and the earth dragons turn over. It is far away and poor. It is not a threat to Daxia. What's the point of attacking it?

Is Daxia so poor? Even the penny in the hand of a beggar is snatched?

Marquis Yongchang did not tell these navy soldiers that there are gold and silver mines on the island. First, there are too many people and eyes are everywhere. Second, if they know about it, if they rush for success, it will be the strength of Daxia that will be lost.

Fifty thousand Daxia navy and two hundred warships arrived at the coast of Japan, which frightened the Japanese.

They had not encountered a war for a long time. Usually they would take a small boat to Daxia to seek shelter, go ashore to rob some small fishermen, and run away after robbing. They had never seen such a battle.

The cities on the edge of the Japanese island were in chaos, and Japanese was heard everywhere -

"What the hell is going on!"

"Are those Daxia soldiers?"

"Why did Daxia suddenly use troops against us! We didn't do anything!"

As for the Japanese pirates! Didn't they just kill some fishermen! Is it that serious? !

"Boom--"

a Japanese was at a loss: "What's that sound..."

It was like a sudden thunderclap. He looked up in doubt. In the dark sky, one shell after another was fired into the city. The pupils in his eyes grew larger and larger.

The fear on his face became more and more obvious.

"Boom boom boom--"

The thunder rolled.

The shells roared, and the smoke and dust exploded. After a brief scream, people and animals all turned into piles of corpses in the city. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The war started.

On the other side, the old emperor ordered to change the direction of advance.

After a year of inspection, it was time to return to Beijing.

The county magistrates and prefectural officials who were lucky enough not to be inspected suddenly had their eyes lit up, and they all cried in private.

It's over!

It's finally over!
