Chapter 128: The Confucius family banquet, the verbal battle with the Confucian scholars, this great Confucian with thunderbolt skills can deal with it, he really comes to the trouble!
evening.
Inside the Yuwang Tower.
At this moment, in the private room, King Yu personally poured a cup of tea for Gu Jinnian, and Zhang Shi was there at the same time.
It can be seen that the King of Yu paid great attention to Gu Jinnian.
However, calling Zhang Shi over was actually a disguised form of telling Gu Jinnian that he was one of his own and could be trusted.
"Jinnian, come and have some tea. I drank so much wine outside before. Drink some tea to moisten your throat."
Prince Yu smiled and handed the tea cup to Gu Jinnian.
"Uncle, how can I ask you to pour tea for me?"
Gu Jinnian quickly took it and said so.
"polite."
"As a family, what are you talking about so much?"
Prince Yu was a little angry and then looked at Zhang Shidao.
"You come and make tea."
King Yu was very rude to his son-in-law, but Zhang Shi was very well-behaved and did not dare to act recklessly in front of King Yu.
Then King Yu sat on the Grand Master's chair and looked at Gu Jinnian to speak.
"My nephew, Jinnian, to be honest, when you come here this time, fourth brother, oh, your Majesty, has already written a letter to me, asking me to take good care of you."
"Everyone in the world knows that I have the closest relationship with His Majesty, and you can completely trust me."
King Yu was the first to speak and inform him of this matter.
As soon as he said this, Gu Jinnian finally understood why King Yu was still polite to him from beginning to end.
After all, it stands to reason that the relationship between King Yu and the Kong family should be closer, but he took extra care of himself. Even if he made a big fuss during the banquet, King Yu didn't say anything.
It turns out that my uncle had already made arrangements.
"That's it. Your Majesty really has a clever plan."
Gu Jinnian spoke and praised his uncle at the same time, but when he said this, Prince Yu seemed a little casual.
"He is so clever and clever. Who in the world doesn't know that the Kong family has taken action against you."
"Jinnian, this is not Kyoto, why are you afraid of what he will do? Just say whatever you want."
King Yu was not very happy when he heard Gu Jinnian praising Emperor Yongsheng.
However, what he said was a bit outrageous, but the relationship between King Yu and Emperor Yongsheng was indeed very good. Although the two brothers were not of the same mother, they lived and ate together. Before the Jiande crisis, Emperor Yongsheng was actually surrounded by people in Kyoto.
ban.
If King Yu hadn't come forward to deal with it, Emperor Yongsheng would never have left Kyoto.
When Emperor Yongsheng decided to rebel, King Yu was the first to respond, and he also made great efforts to support Emperor Yongsheng at almost any cost.
Later, Emperor Yongsheng became the emperor and granted King Yu a first-class title. It felt like giving up half of the country. But King Yu did not agree. Instead, the land of Yuzhang became a vassal. It was not particularly rich, but it was famous for its scholars.
.
There is a saying that half of the officials in Yuzhang came from the ancient county of Yuzhang. During the reign of Taizu, half of the officials came from the ancient county of Yuzhang.
Although it has declined slightly now, it still occupies a quarter of the court. King Yu chose to come here to join the vassal and give up half of the country, not only for many political reasons, but also to help Emperor Yongsheng supervise these scholars.
It can be said that King Yu did too much for Emperor Yongsheng.
The relationship between the two is ten times closer than that of compatriots with the same mother. Therefore, in the Great Xia Dynasty, except for King Yu, no prince dared to say such things, at least not to Gu Jinnian.
"Uncle King Yu, it doesn't matter if you say a few words. My nephew doesn't dare to say such nonsense."
Gu Jinnian laughed a little, but he wasn't long-winded anyway.
Prince Yu nodded his head.
"That's right. After all, fourth brother is petty and thick-skinned, so you're right to be more careful."
King Yu was very bold and directly scolded Emperor Yongsheng for being small-minded and thick-skinned.
However, at this point, King Yu did not continue to mock his fourth brother, but looked at Gu Jinnian and said.
"Jin Nian."
"You'd better not go to the Kong family's family dinner tomorrow."
King Yu spoke up and brought up business.
As soon as these words came out, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but become curious.
"Uncle Prince Yu, why is this?"
Gu Jinnian looked at King Yu. He didn't understand what King Yu meant. Who was King Yu? He had military power. He had absolute say in the Yuzhang area. If he said something not nice, he could curse the Kong family.
Eighteen generations of ancestors.
As long as he doesn't insult the saint, King Yu can keep himself safe, but what King Yu said is a bit strange.
"In the final analysis, the purpose of this Kong family banquet is the Linglong Holy Ruler. My uncle has received some news. During this Kong family banquet, they are likely to use other sacred weapons to suppress you."
"Uncle, I cannot get involved in the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism. I can only say that I will keep you safe. But if a sacred weapon is used, there is nothing I can do."
"So, uncle still hopes that you will not attend this family banquet. Your Majesty has also arranged a way out for you. This is his holy edict, summoning you to the palace for important matters."
"Although it will cause some controversy, cold treatment is the best way. The Kong family does not dare to go too far and will only think of other ways."
"Jinnian, you should think twice before you act."
King Yu spoke up and told Gu Jinnian the news he knew, making Gu Jinnian think twice.
"Use a sacred weapon?"
Gu Jinnian actually guessed something, but he didn't expect that the other party would directly use the sacred weapon.
"Yes, and there is a high probability that the sacred weapon will be used."
"Of course, if the Kong family uses the sacred weapon, they will pay a certain price, and Your Majesty will not spare them lightly."
"It's just that your Majesty and I both believe that there is no need to go to the Kong family. Since we know that they will use the sacred weapon, we should actually leave and let them come to nothing."
"Jinnian, uncle believes that you can write a masterpiece tomorrow."
"But the background of the Kong family is beyond your imagination, so my uncle also hopes that you will leave Qu Mansion."
King Yu opened his mouth and expressed his opinion.
Facing what King Yu said, Gu Jinnian said almost without thinking.
"Uncle Prince Yu, I will definitely go to the banquet tomorrow."
"If I don't go to the banquet, it's not a good thing for me."
When Gu Jinnian spoke, he knew very well that if he really did not attend the banquet, it would cause a greater crisis.
The Kong family is bound to ruin their reputation, and it is the kind of reputation that cannot be washed away.
Of course, Gu Jinnian also knew the thoughts of Emperor Yongsheng and Prince Yu. They thought that if these scoldings were kept silent for a year or two, it would actually be fine, even if the Kong family stared at them and scolded them.
But the scolding didn't last long. After half a year and a year, everyone stopped. As long as I calm down and do my best, I should redress the grievances of the people. One day, the truth will be revealed.
There is nothing wrong with this idea, but it is suitable for people of the older generation, not Gu Jinnian.
If he wants to have a clear idea, he must do this, be happy with his grudges, rather than hide behind and engage in conspiracy.
To be more direct, young people should be more rigid. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, just remember.
Listening to Gu Jinnian's answer, King Yu nodded.
"My uncle recognizes you and believes in you. Since you have such thoughts, he won't say anything more."
"Tomorrow during the family dinner, uncle will protect you, but if there is an argument, uncle will decide based on the situation."
"Otherwise, being too biased towards you will cause some trouble."
King Yu spoke up, but he did not stop Gu Jinnian. In his opinion, being young and energetic is a good thing.
If you are really wrong, it is not a particularly bad thing to suffer a loss.
"There will be a family dinner tomorrow. There is no need for uncle to show favoritism. My nephew will take care of everything himself."
Gu Jinnian looked at King Yu. He didn't need King Yu to say anything for him. Instead, he understood that it would not be a good thing if King Yu came forward to speak. It was okay to mix in a few words. If he really favored himself, these people would definitely criticize him.
"OK."
"Uncle will decide based on the situation."
King Yu nodded.
At this point, there is actually nothing more to say. There will be a banquet tomorrow, and King Yu originally planned to let Gu Jinnian rest here for a day.
But Gu Jinnian took the initiative to speak.
"Uncle, I have a business, do you want to do it?"
Gu Jinnian spoke up and mentioned his business.
"Business? What business?"
Prince Yu was a little curious. He didn't expect Gu Jinnian to suddenly say such a thing.
At that moment, Gu Jinnian began to inform Prince Yu about his business in great detail.
After he finished speaking, Prince Yu nodded and said, "What you said is very novel. To be honest, my uncle is a little tempted, but your business is in Kyoto, so I'm not very interested anymore."
King Yu also told the truth. He felt that this business was going well and money was not an issue, but after all, he was in Kyoto and he didn't want to get involved.
But before Gu Jinnian could say anything, King Yu continued to ask.
"How much participation did your Majesty take?"
King Yu asked.
"There is nothing left. He feels that the business is not going anywhere."
Gu Jinnian also answered truthfully.
"Nothing left?"
"Okay, then I'll give you two chips."
Hearing that Emperor Yongsheng was not involved, King Yu immediately became energetic.
This made Gu Jinnian a little silent. He didn't know what grudges King Yu and Emperor Yongsheng had, and why were they targeting each other?
But it's a good thing that the other party is willing to take shares, and it adds another general to his team.
"Okay, uncle, I'll count on you to help me open the business later. I've really made a lot of money. I'll let my brother-in-law tell you."
Gu Jinnian said with a smile.
"Okay, Shi'er, I'll leave this to you. As for the money, you can pay it to Jinnian from the treasury."
"But you can spend the money you earn yourself as a way to add some good fortune to your father."
King Yu spoke up. It was obvious that he just thought this business was pretty good and he still had no idea how much money this business could make.
There is no other reason. King Yu has studied a little bit, but he mainly leads troops to fight. If you ask him to do business to make money, he doesn't understand at all. In addition, one chip is 1%, and two chips is 2%.
Even if you earn one hundred thousand taels of gold a year, you will only receive two thousand taels of gold.
is it a lot?
Not much at all, right?
Taking a step back, if you earn one million taels of gold a year, how much will you get?
Twenty thousand taels of gold.
Oh, no, twenty thousand taels is a bit too much, but is it possible? The annual net profit is two million taels of gold.
This is impossible.
So he didn't care about anything and gave it to Zhang Shi. To be more precise, he gave it to Zhang Shi and his daughter.
Consider it as pocket money.
It doesn't matter if you lose money. The main purpose of this business is to give Gu Jinnian face and strengthen the relationship. If you really make some money, you will give it to your son-in-law. If you lose money, you will lose money.
Facing the other party's behavior, Gu Jinnian had nothing to say.
In fact, regarding this matter, Gu Jinnian also held a breath, and this breath was nothing else.
I just feel that these people are all short-sighted.
After the Kong family's matter was settled, Gu Jinnian devoted himself to building his own city that never sleeps in Daxia.
Once it's done, damn it, show these people what business acumen is.
Moreover, Gu Jinnian kept an extra notebook. Anyone who had invested but did not invest was recorded in the notebook. If he wanted to invest money in the future, he would not accept it because it was full.
Or just increase the price, one hundred thousand taels of gold for one chip, no, two hundred thousand taels of gold for one chip, you can do it if you like, and you can get it if you don't.
"My child understands."
Zhang Shi got a little excited when he heard this. He had been listening. He was very interested in Gu Jinnian's business plan and felt that it had great potential. If it was done well, there might be 10,080 gold in a year.
This year I have earned more than 100,000 taels of silver, more than 10,000 taels a month, plus the subsidies from the King of Yu. This is a great person. There is no shortage of money in Kyoto, and it can be said that I am self-reliant to the outside world.
Beautiful.
"Uncle, it's getting late, so I'll go back first. See you tomorrow."
After taking a look at the sky, Gu Jinnian said nothing to Prince Yu and planned to leave.
"Just stay at your uncle's house. It would be inappropriate for you to go back and live in the place arranged by the Kong family."
King Yu asked to keep Gu Jinnian here.
"No, my nephew still has some things to do. Thank you for your love, uncle."
Gu Jinnian shook his head. There were still seven or eight hours before tomorrow's family dinner. Gu Jinnian planned to do other things and not stay any longer.
"OK."
"Pay attention to safety. If anything happens, just go to your uncle directly. This is my uncle's token. Take it."
King Yu did not hesitate and took out his token and handed it to Gu Jinnian.
"Thank you uncle, nephew, please leave."
After receiving the token, Gu Jinnian left without any further ado.
After Gu Jinnian leaves.
King Yu's voice also sounded slowly.
"Shi'er, what do you think of Jinnian?"
He looked calm and spoke slowly.
"Going back to my father, the prince is talented and intelligent, and is a great talent in Confucianism and Taoism. His future prospects are limitless."
Zhang Shi said almost without thinking.
"more than."
However, King Yu shook his head and looked at the place where Gu Jinnian was standing just now, with a serious look on his face.
"Jin Nian is the most different person my father has ever seen. He was born in a powerful family, but he has a pure heart and extraordinary literary talent. Moreover, he is deeply loved by my fourth brother."
"After you go to Kyoto, you should follow your brother-in-law carefully. Even though he is younger than you, he must know more than you."
"You Hanchuang studied hard for ten years, and you are much worse than him in terms of interpersonal relationships. In addition, after you went to Kyoto, you were not familiar with the place. Although you can rely on your reputation as a father, Kyoto is Kyoto after all, and it is no better than our Yuzhang County.
"
"If you have anything to do, go to Jinnian. If you have any questions, go to Jinnian. Don't be too troublesome. The more you go to him, the closer the relationship will be. Of course, you should also handle the things Jinnian tells you well."
"Your brother-in-law will definitely be the prime minister of Great Xia in the future. If you follow him, and with the help of your father, your position as minister will be secure."
King Yu spoke extremely highly of Gu Jinnian.
He predicted that Gu Jinnian would be the prime minister of Great Xia in the future. Zhang Shi was a little speechless after hearing this, and his heart was extremely shocked.
The position of Prime Minister of Great Xia is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Moreover, this position does not just mean that you have a prominent family background. What you need is talent and divine grace.
If you have talent, it's useless if you don't receive divine grace.
To be honest, the grandson of the Duke of Zhen Guo may not be able to be the prime minister, but Zhang Shi had to believe what King Yu said.
But what really shocked him was, following Gu Jinnian, could he become a minister in the future?
Regarding his official career, he knew in his heart that although King Yu's background was also extremely prominent, it was absolutely impossible for his father-in-law to forcefully support him to rise to power. He had also discussed his official career before.
The Right Assistant Minister has reached his end, and is even a little unstable.
Now his father-in-law actually said that by following Gu Jinnian, he could become a minister in the future.
These are the Six Heavenly Officials.
If he really became a minister, he would only be half a head behind his father-in-law.
Even the top scholar may not be able to become the Minister of the Six Books.
"My child understands."
"Thank you, Father, for your teaching."
At that moment, Zhang Shi was a little excited and said this.
"As long as you know."
"By the way, later you will take my father's order and secretly dispatch five thousand elite troops to garrison Qu Mansion."
"Tomorrow is the Kong family's family dinner. As a father, I really can't guarantee what will happen. It's best to be on the safe side."
"I just hope that the Kong family won't be too presumptuous, otherwise there will be blood."
King Yu took a deep breath and mentioned this matter.
"See blood?"
"Father, are you going to attack the Kong family?"
Zhang Shi was a little shocked.
It is not a good thing for his father to attack the Kong family for Gu Jinnian.
"Not as a father."
"It's Your Majesty."
"He also had a verbal message, but the father didn't say it just now."
"At the Kong family banquet, if the Kong family dares to use the sacred weapon to suppress Jinnian, your Majesty will give a secret order to kill the leader without giving him a chance."
King Yu revealed a secret, a secret that made Zhang Shi look extremely shocked.
He did not expect that Emperor Yongsheng would be so ruthless and issue such a secret order. The Kong family made it clear that they wanted to cause trouble for Gu Jinnian, and there was a high possibility of using the sacred weapon.
After all, it was to snatch the sacred weapon held by Gu Jinnian.
In other words, at the critical moment, for the sake of Gu Jinnian, Emperor Yongsheng would rather fall out with the Kong family?
If the Kong family had a falling out with Emperor Yongsheng, it would not be a trivial matter, it would be a big deal.
"His Royal Highness, you are truly blessed with endless divine grace."
At this moment, Zhang Shi was envious, really envious.
He was born into a powerful family and was the crown prince. He was loved by all the great scholars in the literary world and also by the emperor. How could he not be envied?
"It's more than just grace."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you just want to do that."
King Yu opened his mouth and said something that was incomprehensible. Zhang Shi was a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions.
"My child, go now."
Zhang Shi made a sound and stood up to leave, but King Yu stopped him.
"Don't worry, I'll write a letter to His Majesty. The content of the letter is: Jinnian helped me write a parallel prose that is the best in history. Please take a look at it and see if it works. Then I will tell you that it is okay for me as a father and write it.
It's quite good. I'd like to ask Your Majesty if Jinnian has written any poems or articles for him. Let's appreciate it together. Well, that's about it. If you write better, this matter is more important."
King Yu said with an arrogant look.
Obviously he deliberately wanted to disgust Emperor Yongsheng.
Hearing this, Zhang Shi was slightly stunned, but he still wrote.
And at the same time.
the Kongs.
In a secret pavilion.
Several figures were sitting cross-legged, all of them looking unattractive.
"Elder Kong Xin."
"Gu Jinnian wrote the first parallel prose of all time in the building. After reading it, some great scholars who attended the banquet were filled with admiration. Some neutral great scholars now directly sided with Gu Jinnian."
"Tomorrow's Kong family dinner, I'm afraid many people will choose to speak out for Gu Jinnian."
A voice sounded, with a slightly ugly expression.
"Not only that, Le Ru and others were beaten up by Meng Xueshi and others today. I went to find him, but he didn't say anything. Moreover, many people are saying that Le Ru deserves it. This situation is not optimistic."
Someone else spoke up and told about Le Ru's beating.
Hearing these words, Old God Kong Xin was there and did not panic at all.
"It doesn't matter."
"I have also heard about this matter. These great scholars just want Gu Jinnian to write a poem for them."
"Three passes have been prepared for tomorrow's family dinner. Within these three passes, even if these great scholars choose to help Gu Jinnian, it will not affect the final outcome."
Kong Xin seemed calm and didn't worry about these things at all.
"Three levels? How do you say it?"
Everyone was a little curious.
Sensing everyone's curiosity, Kong Xin didn't hide it and spoke in a suppressed voice.
"First, Gu Jinnian must give an explanation for Sun Ru's death."
"Secondly, Gu Jinnian must give an explanation for undermining talents."
"Third, the Kong family has secret means. At the critical moment, Gu Jinnian can only submit."
"Of course, the Kong family also hopes that Gu Jinnian can be more conscious, so it depends on the situation when the time comes. If Gu Jinnian takes a tough stance, you must not give in. The Kong family cannot speak out. At least in the first two stages, the Kong family cannot say anything."
"And the main force relies on several princes, and at the same time in the Kong family, there is no need to worry about Gu Jinnian using the sacred weapon."
"If Gu Jinnian relents, you don't need to be aggressive. The purpose of this family dinner is to get Gu Jinnian to hand over the sacred weapon. To achieve this goal, we don't want to be too stiff."
Kong Xin opened his mouth.
They are plotting, plotting how to target Gu Jinnian tomorrow.
In fact, everything is done by the Kong family behind the scenes, and the reason for all this is the fight for the sacred artifact.
As long as the sacred weapon is fought for and returned, it doesn't matter even if you suffer a little loss or if Gu Jinnian curses the Kong family a few times.
You can scold me if you want, you have the holy weapon, and all the scholars in the world support the Confucius family, so you can do whatever you want. Anyway, it is you, Gu Jinnian, who suffers the loss, not our Kong family.
However, the Kong family cannot take the initiative and must let others step forward, and the Kong family can just be a reasonable guest.
Of course, at the most critical moment, if Gu Jinnian cannot be suppressed, the Kong family will step in.
At that time, losing face was secondary, and getting the sacred weapon was the core.
"OK."
"However, this time it is more difficult than expected. Forcibly targeting Gu Jinnian will cause some controversy."
"Elder Kong Xin, your Majesty's intention is very simple. There must be three names in the ancient and modern books."
The Marquis of Fulo Dynasty spoke up and made his request.
Not only him, but everyone also put forward their own requirements, but the requirements were different. Some were for names in ancient and modern books, some were for places in the holy realm, and some were for saints' manuals.
It's all good stuff.
Faced with everyone's asking price, Kong Xin remained slightly silent.
But soon, he nodded.
"There is no problem with any of this. As long as the sacred artifact is obtained, the Kong family will meet your requests."
Kong Xin nodded and said so.
There are no eternal friends in this world, there are only interests. The higher the status, the higher the status, or the smarter the person, they don't care at all whether they are saints or not.
Only look at the benefits. If there are benefits, everything is easy to talk about. Without benefits, no matter who you are, what will happen to you as a saint? Just say a few good words and let me do things? Wishful thinking.
After a quarter of an hour, everyone gradually left.
Kong Xin also left and went directly to find Elder Wuya.
After meeting Elder Wuya, Kong Xin fully informed him of the conversation just now.
After a while, Elder Wuya opened his eyes and said.
"As long as we get the holy artifact, it doesn't matter what they ask for."
"But the Holy Mirror has been activated in the clan. Tomorrow's family banquet will reflect the Eastern Wasteland."
"You still have to inform me that tomorrow you will deliberately anger Gu Jinnian, make him lose his temper, and make him angry."
"Don't be angered by him. When the time comes for these pictures to be seen by the world, any inappropriateness will be magnified infinitely."
Kong Wuya spoke calmly and informed Kong Xin of this matter.
"Reflecting the Eastern Wasteland?"
"Understood."
Kong Xin was shocked. This was really decisive. Tomorrow everyone would accuse Gu Jinnian. If Gu Jinnian had a temper, he would definitely become furious and start going crazy.
And if this scene is reflected in the Eastern Barren Realm and everyone sees it, then the word Gu Jinnian is arrogant will never be erased.
Once you think a person is arrogant, you will have an innate bad impression. No matter what you do later, you will not be able to escape the word prejudice.
That's it.
Kong Xin retreated.
As for the entire Kong family, after Hai Shi, they began to organize, arrange the venue, and arrange some processes and so on.
However, a figure appeared on the bank of Qufu Lake.
It was the figure of Gu Jinnian.
He was standing on a boat. There was no boatman on board, and he was traveling entirely along the river.
Gu Jinnian is in the process of final enlightenment and perfecting the conclusion.
The boat is flowing.
Everything seemed very quiet.
Time passed little by little.
When you are ugly.
Yin Shi.
Mao Shi.
At Yin hour, it is almost dawn, and at Mao hour, it is bright and people are getting up one after another, doing business, farming, smoke is rising from the kitchen, and every household is cooking.
On the shore.
Some people also cast their gazes, and some women looked away affectionately or shyly.
There were also some people who cast curious glances. After all, Gu Jinchang looked extraordinary. In addition, standing alone on the boat, he had an indescribable artistic conception and style, which attracted people's attention.
Gu Jinnian looked at all this with a gentle smile on his face, which made people feel like they were taking a breath of spring breeze.
"Dad, why doesn't this big brother go to farm?"
Some children were curious and pointed at Gu Jinnian and asked.
"This is a scholar. Scholars don't need to work in agriculture..."
"Son, you should also study hard and become an official in the future. After becoming an official, our family will have money. With money, you can stop farming and eat candied haws every day."
The father beside him spoke, pointed at Gu Jinnian and said.
Listening to these remarks, Gu Jinnian remained silent.
His father was right.
This is also the current moment.
Whether in the Daxia Dynasty or in other dynasties, studying was actually for the purpose of becoming an official.
Making a living is the first priority, followed by benefiting the people.
There is nothing wrong with this.
But many people take making a living too seriously and gradually lose themselves. Therefore, there are many scholars who are just educated, but do not have the way of a gentleman.
Gu Jinnian said nothing and let the boat flow.
in this way.
Until the end of time.
Gu Jinnian used his magic power to make the ship turn around, and then went upstream, and the speed accelerated a lot.
Such behavior has attracted the attention of many people.
The Confucius family banquet starts at You time.
Gu Jinnian has already achieved certain results in his mind.
He also figured out many things.
Now he has to go to a banquet.
Go to Kong's house for a banquet.
Speak your thoughts and your ambitions.
Use wise words to respond to all rumors.
Four o'clock in the morning.
Gu Jinnian got off the boat, crossed over to the shore, and then went straight to the Kong family.
Another quarter of an hour later.
Rather than saying it is the Confucius family, it is better to say it is the Confucius family.
The entire Confucius Mansion covers an area of at least a thousand acres, and the thick walls make it look majestic.
And the main entrance of the Kong family.
It was already overcrowded. Great scholars from all over the world and figures from all over the world walked into the Confucius home. Carriage after carriage filled with valuable gifts filled the open space.
This is the prestige of the Confucius family and the style of the Confucius family.
Outside the door of Kong's house, there were hundreds of people welcoming guests.
After Gu Jinnian arrived, the Kong family immediately noticed.
At that moment, someone walked over quickly and looked at Gu Jinnian with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, I, Kong Xin, come into the mansion quickly, come into the mansion quickly."
This is Kong Xin. He was waiting outside the door specially for Gu Jinnian.
With more than a dozen people, they received Gu Jinnian with great grandeur. On the contrary, some other princes or distinguished guests did not receive such a grand reception.
It seems that he is trying to give Gu Jinnian face, but in fact he is trying to bring trouble to Gu Jinnian.
After all, in terms of seniority, Gu Jinnian is just a junior.
In terms of Confucianism and Taoism, Gu Jinnian has not yet reached this level.
This is not prejudice or not, but a lot of eyes have been cast on me, with some inexplicable hostility in their eyes.
Faced with Kong Xin's enthusiasm, dozens of figures rushed towards this place before Gu Jinnian could say anything.
"Little friend Jinnian."
"His Royal Highness."
"Holy Son, Holy Son."
Dozens of figures appeared and pushed Kong Xin aside. They were Yan Gong, Meng Xueshi, Qingzhou Thunderbolt Hand, these great scholars, oh, General Wang is here too.
They didn't give Kong Xin any face, and directly surrounded Gu Jinnian with smiles on their faces.
"I have met you gentlemen."
Seeing them, a smile appeared on Gu Jinnian's face.
"You're welcome, come on, your highness, you didn't enjoy your drink yesterday, let's drink today."
"Holy Son, you have to drink later. Although I have an average drinking capacity, I can still have a few drinks with His Highness."
"Jinnian kid is really good at picking the right time. We just happened to meet him, hahahaha."
These great scholars all laughed, and the smiles on their faces came from the bottom of their hearts. However, it was not that they met by chance, but that they had been waiting here for a long time.
When he saw Gu Jinnian, he hurried over, firstly to make him look familiar, and secondly to prevent Gu Jinnian from being embarrassed.
"Everyone, please come into the house quickly."
"Your Highness, will I take you to see the Confucius Mansion first?"
Kong Xin forced a smile. Although she was unhappy inside, she certainly didn't dare to speak nonsense when facing so many great scholars.
"Go, go, I'll just wait with His Highness, you can go about your business."
"Yeah, there are so many people, aren't you busy? Hurry up and get busy."
"The banquet is about to start. Why don't we go see some scenery? Let's go have a drink first."
Everyone spoke up, especially General Wang, who directly pulled Gu Jinnian away, not bothering to pay attention to Kong Xin.
Faced with everyone's performance, Kong Xin frowned a little, but he didn't dare to get angry.
He could only watch as Gu Jinnian was taken away directly.
When they arrived at the door, Xu Dongmu and others were also there. Gu Jinnian came forward and took them directly into the Kong family's family banquet.
After entering the mansion and walking through the entrance, the grandeur of the Confucius family comes into view. There are nine palaces and the main banquet place is in the fifth palace, called Dacheng Hall.
The Kong family deserves to be called the Kong family, and they immediately built palaces.
Although it is much less elegant than the palace, the materials and other things are not as good as those inside the palace.
Follow the Kong family all the way.
Arrive at the back of Dacheng Hall.
Jade tables are placed inside, a total of one hundred and eight tables.
Every table was full of distinguished people, including marquises from the Fuluo Dynasty and marquises from the Dajin Dynasty, but on the contrary, there were no marquises from the Daxia Dynasty.
On the left are the great scholars from all over the Xia Dynasty, and on the right are some invited distinguished guests.
When they got here, Xu Dongmu and others were arranged to the sixth house. This was also the rule. Gu Jinnian did not force them and let them in. They would not dare to talk nonsense.
However, Yan Gong, Meng Xueshi, Qingzhou Thunderbolt Hand, and General Wang were qualified to enter the Dacheng Hall. The other great scholars who followed were really not qualified to enter, so they were all assigned to the Sixth Palace.
Entered the Dacheng Hall.
Suddenly, many eyes turned towards Gu Jinnian.
Feeling these gazes, Gu Jinnian seemed very calm, and led by the Kong family to his seat.
Yan Gong, Academician Meng, Thunderbolt Hand Confucian and General Wang were arranged in front, but a few people were unwilling and insisted on sitting aside with Gu Jinnian. The Kong family could not find a few people, so they made arrangements.
After sitting down.
The Thunderbolt Master spoke immediately.
"When I came here just now, I saw a group of people coming in through the side door, wearing mourning clothes. I guess there will be trouble later."
His name is Lu Yuan.
But Gu Jinnian wanted to call him the Thunderbolt Master.
Because that scene cannot be forgotten.
"In mourning clothes?"
Several people frowned immediately, realizing what might be going on.
"Your Highness, please leave it to me and the others later. Please speak less. I'm afraid they just want to make you look bad."
"Yes, Your Highness, just leave it to us later. Don't say more."
"There are also some of our people here. If we quarrel later, we won't be too disadvantaged. But yesterday we were so enthusiastic that the Kong family separated some of us."
Scholar Meng and Yan Gong spoke one after another. They realized what would happen later, so they asked Gu Jinnian to talk less and leave it to them.
"Gentlemen, it's okay. The student council will deal with it later."
Gu Jinnian nodded, feeling a little grateful in his heart, but he couldn't escape this matter, so he still had to face the problem directly.
"It's okay. I contacted a lot of friends with Lao Meng yesterday. Although they were arranged to leave, if there is a quarrel later, they will come over as soon as possible. You can safely leave the quarrel to us. I guarantee that there will be no problem.
"
"Besides, if Brother Lu is here, don't worry. He was a role model for us when he was able to fight with the Confucian scholars."
Yan Gong spoke up and even patted Gu Jinnian on the shoulder, looking confident.
General Wang also spoke from the side.
"Jinnian, don't worry, no matter what happens, I can keep you safe. If there is that person who doesn't know how to live or die, just leave it to me."
General Wang took a sip of wine and calmed down.
Apparently they had been discussing today's affairs all last night.
Everyone knew that the Kong family was going to cause trouble for Gu Jinnian, and they would never be a coward after receiving Gu Jinnian's kindness.
Gu Jinnian will not be allowed to fight alone.
Facing the help from several people, Gu Jinnian smiled slightly and said nothing.
in this way.
Time passed little by little.
About two quarters of an hour passed.
Together at every moment.
Accompanied by the sound of bells and drums, it means the feast has begun.
Drums are beating.
It took a full quarter of an hour.
Then all kinds of music started playing, including the sound of chimes and the sound of war drums, which seemed majestic.
Soon, Duke Chuan Sheng walked into the hall, followed by Kong Yu and others. They were the third generation of the Kong family, wearing ceremonial robes and looking serious.
Everyone also stood up one after another.
As Duke Chuansheng walked to the main seat, everyone spoke in unison.
"I've been waiting for you to see Duke Chuan Sheng."
Everyone spoke, but Gu Jinnian was very calm and did not say anything, but he also stood up, which was considered a courtesy.
"The family dinner begins."
The next moment, a loud voice sounded, indicating that the family banquet had officially begun.
And all the music stopped abruptly at this moment.
However, he didn’t wait for everyone to sit down.
A voice sounded at a critical moment.
"I beg you, Lord Chuan, to redress my master's injustice."
A cry sounded out.
next moment.
Outside the main hall, there were twelve people, carrying a coffin, kneeling outside the main hall.
boom.
After the coffin landed on the ground, twelve people knelt down and kowtowed to Duke Chuan Sheng.
"Bold."
"Arrogant."
"Today is the Kong family's family banquet. What are you doing?"
"Who are you, disturbing my Kong family's family dinner?"
In an instant, roars sounded one after another, all coming from the Kong family.
However, everyone knows that this is just the Kong family directing and acting.
Otherwise, for such a large-scale family banquet, people would still have to carry the coffin in?
Funny, right?
Are all these servants fools?
"Preach the Holy Duke to the Lord."
"My master, Sun Zhengnan, was forced to death by Gu Jinnian last month. We are his disciples, and this hatred is no less than the hatred of killing my father."
"Today, we are admonishing the case with our lives, hoping that Duke Chuan will uphold justice for us, bring Gu Jinnian to justice, restore peace to heaven and earth, and restore peace to the Daxia literary world."
The leader shouted loudly, even cried as he spoke, and then kowtowed crazily on the ground.
It seems like a huge injustice.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the palace, and everyone pretended to be confused while pretending to understand.
Soon, everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Gu Jinnian, even Chuan Shenggong and others also cast their eyes on him.
Feeling the attention of everyone, Gu Jinnian took a light sip of wine.
Then he put down the wine glass and was about to speak.
Lu Yuan, the great scholar with thunderbolt skills, grabbed Gu Jinnian, and then moved closer to Gu Jinnian, and then coughed a little to moisten his throat.
Then he spoke slowly.
"Look at your dad?"
He spoke with disdain in his eyes.
It's contempt, extremely contempt.
And that's it.
Everyone present was stunned except for a small number of people.
Even Gu Jinnian was stunned.
No, I'm stupid.
Good guy.
Is this a verbal battle with the Confucians?
Just zoom in when you come up?
He is indeed a thunderbolt hand.
The great Confucian scholar Lu Yuan was able to handle things well, and he would really come to his aid if there was a problem.
