Chapter 348: Killing! [Subscribe]
He...he dared to use force in the Saint's Sect and draw blood in court.
Cao Cao's sudden move made everyone in the hall nervous.
"It's really a jerk."
There is a mission for Zheng Xuan to accompany him.
As the first contemporary Confucian, if Cao Cao wants to deal with the Kong family, he needs him to serve as a servant and tear off the fig leaf of Confucianism.
Zheng Xuan stood up from his seat, saluted Cao Cao first, then turned around and looked at the many nobles in the hall.
He looked again at the man hanging on the wall, his chest stained with blood.
But Ni Heng will not die for a while.
Cao Cao's spear was extremely fierce.
However, the position is very important, it should be above the chest and below the shoulder blades.
This position does not hurt the heart.
But the blood in the chest cavity burst out and flowed out from the wound.
Ni Heng will not die in a short period of time, but will bleed to death.
Ni Heng was nailed to the wall and soon he could not even scream. He wailed softly, and the blood gushing out of his chest instantly dyed his upper body red, dripping onto the ground.
"Ni Heng, you are the most heartless and ungrateful one. You have even learned from a dog."
Zheng Xuan said: "The generals appointed by the King of Wei, both civil and military, have repeatedly fought against foreign tribes and protected the country and the people.
If it weren't for them, foreign races would have invaded our Han territory countless times, and you, Ni Heng, would not have had the time to study in peace.
You, or anyone else in the Kong family, have you ever been on the battlefield and killed foreign enemies?
In troubled times, dynasties changed like the rotation of day and night. The decline of the old dynasty caused chaos in the country, and millions of refugees were added every year.
At the right time, where are you?
Where are the Kong family members?
Can you, the people of the Kong clan, rely on the influence of the saints to drive out foreign enemies and prevent them from invading our land? You talk to the foreign races about education, propriety, law, benevolence and righteousness, and see if they will listen or not?"
“Under the command of the King of Wei, Wen was able to put an end to chaos, the world was at peace, and 40 million people benefited.
The military is capable of facing the outside world, winning battles time and again and defeating countless enemies. "
"You have received the King of Wei's kindness and have been able to live in peace. But you have not thought of gratitude and have jumped out to bark.
You all were well fed and well-educated under the King of Wei, but he says that his civil and military officials are not good. Where were you when the world was in turmoil? "
"Ni Heng, I said you are worse than a dog and only know how to bark. Have I wronged you?"
Yu Wen was listening on the side and almost applauded Zheng Xuan.
Every word the old man said was to the point, his language was fluent, and there was no nonsense. All his words were to the point, leaving everyone in the Kong family speechless.
Why did Zheng Xuan come out to argue with these people?
Because Cao Cao not only wanted to kill them, but also nail them to the pillar of shame, turning them into rats that everyone would curse and beat.
He wanted to turn dealing with the Kong and Li families into a good thing for the prosperity of Cao Wei.
Cao Cao sat safely on the throne, but his eyes were domineering as he scanned the surroundings.
Ni Heng was hanging on the wall, in unbearable pain. But every word Zheng Xuan said was deafening, like a sharp knife piercing his ears and nailing his heart.
His face was pale and his lips were trembling.
When Zheng Xuan spoke, he used the Confucian magic power of "encouraging learning".
This magical power has a power that is known to everyone and is thought-provoking.
Zheng Xuan turned around and looked at the people from the Kong family and continued to speak:
"The ancestor of the Kong family is revered as a sage by the world, and so is I, Zheng Xuan. Confucius advocated benevolence and propriety, and emphasized moral conduct. Zhang Yide and others were all right.
But what have you, the descendants of the Kong family, accomplished?
Can you maintain peace in your country through military force or can you rule your country through culture?
The only thing you have done in your life is to stand under the tutelage of Confucius and discredit him."
"The King of Wei has brought peace to the world and benefited all the people, so why can't he sit on the throne?"
"When the King of Wei was conferring the title of Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu, he said something that made me feel emotional and guilty every time I thought about it.
If there was no King Wei, who knows how long the world would be in chaos, and how many people would die in the war. You, the Kong family, remember nine years ago, the land of Lu was in ruins, and the rioters stormed the city.
Did anyone care about the saint’s gate at that time?
In times of chaos, refugees can't even get enough food to eat, so what's the point of talking about a saint's family?
At that time, were there so many people gathering in Lucheng to promote the prosperity of the Kong family? "
"You have received great favors from the King of Wei, but now you say that the King of Wei is unworthy of the throne. This is absurd. You eat the salary of the king, but you do not know the grace of the king. You are unkind, unrighteous, unfaithful, unfilial, unrespectful, and untrustworthy. You are all old, but you live like animals."
Zheng Xuan cursed heartily, and the Kong family members were shaking with anger.
But they could find no rebuttal.
Because what Zheng Xuan said was not nonsense, even though he licked it a little.
"You...Zheng Xuan, you old dog, you came to my Kong Mansion in the early years and begged to read the sage's scroll. Now you turn around and insult my Kong family. You will not die well."
Kong Ji and Kong Shu were trembling all over and their faces turned purple, mainly because they had never scolded Zheng Xuan.
Cao Cao showed a slight smile:
"Zheng Sinong, you thought that if you scolded them harshly, they would admit their mistakes and my knife would fall more gently. You scolded them verbally, but secretly wanted to protect the Kong family, but they didn't appreciate it and called you a dog."
Zheng Xuan's thoughts were exposed by Cao Cao.
But he was not embarrassed at all. He turned around and saluted Cao Cao, sighing: "The King of Wei is wise, and nothing can be hidden from you."
"Kong, Li, and everyone else in the family, don't you know you are wrong?"
"What did we do wrong?"
Kong Ji's fingers were trembling: "Cao Mengde, you came to my house to humiliate my Kong family. Today, my Kong family will fight you.
Don't think that we are people waiting to be slaughtered and will let you control us."
He suddenly stamped his feet and said: "Please ask a saint to come to the world to rectify the family of Confucius and protect the survival of the Confucius family."
Everyone in the Kong family looked solemn.
As Kong Ji's voice fell, purple air rose into the sky from behind the Kong Mansion.
The entire Confucius Mansion was shaking.
In the ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors of the Kong family, a scroll of Confucius' handwritten book, which was passed down from generation to generation, flowed through the air and flew into the front hall.
The next moment, the purple energy in the Kong Mansion expanded and the vibration became more violent.
Next to the saint’s handwriting in the ancestral hall, there is a bronze knife, also called a writing knife.
The back of the knife has a graceful arc shape.
The blade is smooth, the rust color is vigorous, and it is decorated with exquisite cloud and animal patterns.
This is the sword of the saint.
Confucius used it to write and scrape off wrong characters on bamboo slips, and for his study.
This sword has been handed down for seven hundred years and has been nurtured by the beliefs of generations of Confucianists.
The fortune it possesses has reached an unimaginable level and can be called a treasure of Confucianism.
The most important thing is that this thing can pose a threat to your luck.
This sword has been kept in the Confucius Mansion for seven hundred years and is a treasure that protects the house.
The book knife also broke through the air and flew into the main hall, hanging in the air without falling.
Two saintly objects appeared one after another.
The Confucius Mansion is a dark purple color, and its aura is as surging as the ocean.
Outside the palace, thousands of students and people from the entire Lu City all felt something.
"What happened to the Kong Mansion?"
"The Kong family has moved the saint's things. The King of Wei really has bad intentions. He wants to commit murder, and the Kong family wants to protect themselves."
"How can the saint's family be insulted lightly? If he dares to commit a crime in the saint's house, I will never agree!"
"Neither should I."
"We won't agree!" "No one in the world will agree!"
Outside the Confucius Mansion, the crowd was in an uproar and noisy.
At this time, more carriages continued to arrive, entering the mansion one after another and standing behind the Kong family.
Inside the hall, Kong Shu and the rest of the Kong family looked at the two relics of the saints hanging in the air with pious expressions:
"Let the ancestors know that there are traitors who have entered our Kong Mansion and insulted our Kong family. At this time, please protect our Kong family."
"Cao Mengde."
Kong Shu looked stern:
"The moment you entered my Confucius Mansion, you entered a desperate situation.
If you dare to raise an army and shed blood, we will fight to the end. If the time comes for the sword to be drawn, I, the Kong family, will not be a coward.
Don’t even think about leaving.”
"You'd better think clearly about the consequences of raising an army against my Kong family. Your Cao Wei's fortune will definitely be affected."
"People all over the world despise you, and there are no more Confucian scholars to use for you."
"These two holy objects were left by our ancestors. They contain a trace of our ancestors' divine will and are spiritual. They can distinguish between loyalty and treachery, truth and falsehood. With these two objects, I wonder who dares to harm our Kong family."
The Kong family members were all reserved and the situation was about to explode.
Suddenly, a thin needle broke through the air from the crowd and stabbed Cao Cao.
But as soon as the thin needle came out, Dian Wei picked out a person from the crowd while rising and falling.
Xu Chu reached out and grabbed the thin needle in his hand.
The person Dian Wei captured was a middle-aged woman who was Li's mother's attendant.
She threw out the hidden weapon to take advantage of the tense atmosphere between the two sides and add fuel to the fire.
At the same time, several Taoists came in from outside the door.
Each of them held a preacher in their hands.
The leading Taoist priest glanced around the hall and said, "Li was bewitched and willing to be used by foreigners to send people to assassinate the King of Wei.
These foreign races have stolen the fortune of China, destroyed the blessings of our land, and shaken the foundation of China."
"The King of Wei issued an order prohibiting foreign missionaries from preaching, so they plotted to assassinate the King of Wei. You are all accomplices, used by foreign races. You are unworthy of being the descendants of a saint, and you have brought shame to our ancestors!"
"This Li girl took advantage of the chaos to kill the King of Wei. She was bewitched. It's a pity that you still don't wake up."
"You are talking nonsense."
Li's mother finally stood up and said angrily:
“You said that the Buddhists stole the fortune of our Han land and framed us. You are the ones with evil minds who fabricated the charges.
The Gentile preachers of the scriptures saved my life.
I have experienced it myself, how could I not know it? You can't just talk nonsense."
"You experienced it yourself, so you help the foreigners to deal with us Han people?"
The old Taoist clapped his hands.
Another person was brought in from outside. He was the preacher who had chanted scriptures with Li's mother in the inner hall before.
"You were diagnosed with a terminal illness several years ago, and this foreigner came to save you. Have you ever thought about where your terminal illness came from?"
"They first use tricks to make people seriously ill, and then come forward to treat them, so that people will firmly believe that it is just a means of transmission."
Seeing that Li's mother was still trying to refute, the old Taoist said:
"When you were ill, did you ever feel sleepy all day, unable to wake up, and occasionally vomit blood when you woke up?
Have you ever dreamed of Buddhist scriptures ringing in your ears while you were unconscious? "
Mother Li's face gradually turned pale.
Because what the Taoist said is absolutely right.
Only she knew what she experienced during her coma.
The fact that this old Taoist could say this casually is enough to prove one thing.
She felt that preaching Buddhism was a good deed, but in fact it was just a means.
Otherwise, there is no reason why an experience that only she had could be spoken out so casually.
She was tricked by someone.
Of course, she disliked Cao Cao in the first place, and she claimed to be secretive so she would not be discovered. This was the main reason.
It is not entirely the responsibility of the preacher.
But it is an indisputable fact that she was exploited and brought her family into an irretrievable situation.
"I have a roll of names in my hand, which is a list of Buddhists who came to the East to spread their teachings and used similar methods to recruit people. There are hundreds of people involved, and you can find out by asking.
How many more have we not discovered yet?"
The old Taoist took out a scroll.
The faces of the people in the Kong family also began to turn pale.
They felt that Cao Cao was killing people everywhere and was about to take action against the gentry. This time, his target was their Kong family, and the Li family was just an initiator.
So when Li came, they immediately shared the same hatred for the enemy.
"You have stolen the destiny of China and weakened the destiny of the Han people. I deserve death.
Confucius wanted to educate all living beings and spread the doctrine of benevolence and courtesy. But his descendants colluded with foreigners, and they were not as wise as he was, and were as stupid as pigs, and they turned away from their ancestors.
Cao Cao said: "From now on, the descendants of Confucius will not be under the protection of the saints, and there will be no saints in the family."
One of the reasons why he let so many people in was to clear away the main obstacles at once.
The remaining people can use their mouths to spread the truth about how he came to kill the Kong family.
Not only does he want to kill people, he also wants everyone in the world to say that he was right to kill and that he deserved the death!
Occupy the righteousness.
Cao Cao looked at the two relics of the saints that were emitting purple light and stretched out his hand.
The saint's handwriting and the saint's writing knife vibrated. After a while, it slowly came to his side, as if it was his treasure.
"You said that these two objects were tools of saints, that they have the spiritual power left by saints, that they can distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and that they do not allow people to insult the Confucius family! How do you think about it now?"
At this time, there was no trace of blood on Kong Ji and Kong Shu's faces.
The Kong family members stared blankly at the sage's writing knife and scroll.
These two things belong to the saints, their greatest reliance and their trump cards.
It is also a belief in protecting the family and claiming justice.
But the reactions of these two holy objects clearly show what is right and what is wrong.
There is no better proof than this.
Cao Cao: "The Kong family is unlucky and should be killed."
The book knife circulated, emitting a purple halo.
Kong Ji said in horror: "Please spare my life, ancestor."
Dian Wei has already pounced on him.
He had been holding back for a long time, and after getting close he punched out.
Kong Ji's face collapsed as he was killed by a punch. Warm blood splashed on Kong Shu's face.
The other Cao Wei soldiers swung their weapons and stabbed them to death one by one.
Screams were heard everywhere in the hall in an instant.
Today, we should start a mass killing spree.
