Thumb! Thumb! Thunk!
Faced with Yan Changqing's last angry shout, Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao were distracted. They retreated in panic, with panic on their faces.
Yan Changqing had just announced that among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who jumped into the sea and died for their country in the Yashan naval battle, if there was even a member of the Confucius family, he would have committed suicide on the spot to apologize to the Confucius family!
And as long as they can cite an example of a member of the Kong family jumping into the sea to die for the Song Dynasty in the Yashan naval battle.
So in full view of the public, even if Yan Changqing has the so-called Saint Shennong behind him as a guarantee, he cannot be protected!!!
In other words, if they want to kill Yan Changqing, now is the best and easiest chance!!!
However, the best and easiest opportunity in front of them at this moment, in the eyes of Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao, is so difficult, even as difficult as climbing to the sky!!!
Because, among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who jumped into the sea and died for their country in the Yashan naval battle, there really wasn’t even a single member of the Kong family!!!
Just when Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao were racking their brains, they wanted to find a soldier and civilian related to their Kong family who jumped into the sea and died for their country in the Yashan naval battle.
Yan Changqing looked at the two of them and said in an extremely indifferent tone:
"Perhaps the Song Dynasty did not implement benevolent governance."
"Perhaps the Song Dynasty did indeed cause widespread resentment among the people in the world."
"Perhaps the people of the world during the Song Dynasty were indeed in dire straits and miserable."
"Perhaps the so-called destiny really no longer exists in Song Dynasty."
"But, even such a Song Ting!"
"When dynasties change and our country is destroyed, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who know what etiquette and integrity are!"
"Know what loyalty, filial piety and justice are!"
"You can die generously for the sake of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, and go to the national disaster together to repay the country's favor!!!"
Having said this, Yan Changqing's eyes fell on Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao, with a sneer on his face:
"But if we really want to say it, how much gratitude did the Song Dynasty receive from these 100,000 soldiers and civilians?!!"
"For officers in the Song Dynasty, the monthly salary for the upper-level Imperial Guards was consistent; for the middle-level officers, it was 700 or 500 Wen; for the lower-level soldiers, it ranged from 300 to 500 Wen; and for the local army, the monthly salary was gradually reduced."
"And among the one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians, they are exactly the lowest kind. Most of them are composed of local troops and civilians recruited temporarily.
"At that time, their monthly salary was probably only a hundred and eighty cents."
"Even so, given the environment and conditions at the time, it is very likely that they would not be able to get even half a penny!!!"
"Even the soldiers have been reduced to this, so what can the common people among the 100,000 soldiers and civilians get?!!"
"No, they have nothing. They are all slave laborers recruited into the army. Not only do they not receive any rewards or salaries, they often have to pay for their own dry food out of their own pockets! ㄖ!"
"And how much favor did your Kong family receive from the Song Dynasty?!!"
"Song Renzong named your head of the Kong family the title of Duke Yansheng, and in the fifth year of Jingyou's reign, he granted him the title of Duke Yansheng's Mansion."
"It covers an area of more than hundreds of acres, with more than 460 halls, halls, buildings, and halls, as well as countless gates and gardens."
"The entire Yanshenggong Mansion, with its carved beams and painted pillars, flying tubes and colorful arches, exotic flowers and stones, and pavilions and curved bridges, can be said to be the largest and most luxurious residence in the world under the imperial palace!"
"none of them!!!"
"And since then, all the emperors of the Song Dynasty have expanded their buildings. Even before the demise of the Song Dynasty, there were still funds allocated for the renovation of Duke Yansheng's Mansion!!!"
"In addition, during the Yuanyou period of the Song Dynasty alone, Song Zhezong gave 30,000 acres of land to Yanshenggong Kong Zonghan in one go!!!"
"There is no tax, and all the income, except for sacrifices, belongs to the Confucius family."
"After that, the Song Dynasty granted the Confucius family 10,000 acres of sacrificial land!!!"
"It is also exempt from taxes, and all its income, except for sacrifices, belongs to the Kong family.
"And this is just a reward for offering sacrifices to the fields."
"At other times, when Confucius was worshiping, the emperor and the court of the Song Dynasty gave away countless gold, silver, jewels, and rare and exotic objects!"
"In addition, in the thirteenth year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty, under the call of Kong Yuanyong, the then Duke of Yansheng, the entire Confucius family held a meeting and negotiated and decided to betray the country for glory. The entire family surrendered to the Yuan court to welcome Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty."
"In the 17th year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty briefly regained Shandong. Although it knew that the Confucius family was treasonous and betrayed the country for glory, it still ignored the Confucian family and even promoted Kong Yuanyong to be the judge of Jeju."
"Such a kind of national favor, it is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor's favor is so vast that the whole world can compare with it!!!"
Yan Changqing looked at Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao, frowned slightly, and asked with doubts in his eyes:
"why?"
Kong Xixue and Kong Kebiao were pale and swaying.
Yan Changqing turned around and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang on the high platform opposite, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, as well as the current leader of civil servants Song Lian, the military commanders Wei Guogong Xu Da, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, Song Guogong Feng Sheng Waiting for all the civil and military officials to ask again:
"why?!"
Yan Changqing raised his eyes and looked around in all directions, looking at the crowds of Confucian students and literary students crowded on the second and third floors of various restaurants and shops, as well as the more than ten Wanying Tianfu people rubbing shoulders on the ground. Asked again and again:
----------...
"why?!!"
From the beginning to the end, I listened to Yan Changqing's narration of Sound Transmission Warriors with great clarity. At this moment, I felt as if I was holding a breath in my chest and couldn't let it out.
Yan Changqing asked why, and he also wanted to ask why.
So the next moment, the sound transmission warrior was like thunder roaring, through the loudspeaker, Yan Changqing's doubts and inquiries were transmitted to all directions and into the hearts of more than ten people in Wanying Tianfu:
"Why!!!"
A trace of lament flashed in Yan Changqing's eyes, as if he was asking everyone present, and also seemed to be answering his own question:
"You only have a few hundred coins a month. In what country do you want to die for?"
"Even the monthly salary of one hundred and eighty cents may not be available. Instead, you have to pay for travel expenses out of your own pocket, and you have to prepare food yourself."
"Such an extremely shallow national favor cannot even be called a national favor. Instead, it can be said that the Song Dynasty owes a national debt to their 100,000 soldiers and civilians!!!"
"One hundred thousand soldiers and civilians, they owe nothing to the Song Dynasty.
"Even if there is really a debt, it is the Song Dynasty that owes them!!!"
"And even the Kong family has great national benevolence, the Kong family is deeply respected and favored by the emperor, and the Kong family has high status and blood."
"In the end, there is not a single disciple of the Kong family who is willing to die for the Song Dynasty, is willing to fight to the last moment with the Meng Yuan Dynasty, and is willing to jump into the sea and die for the country for the Song Dynasty!!!"
"In that case."
"Why do one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians have to fight Meng Yuan to the last moment?!!"
"And why did one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians jump into the sea to die for the Song Dynasty?!!"
"Obviously, as long as you are like the Kong family, when the Yuan army attacks, they will kneel down and beg for mercy as soon as possible, collaborating with the enemy and treason and betraying the country.
"Even turning around and helping the Yuan army to encircle and suppress the Song army, then you can live well."
"You can even get the glory and wealth rewarded by the Yuan Dynasty, live a worry-free life, have prosperous descendants, and bless future generations!!!"
"In the first year of Emperor Chengzong's reign in the Yuan Dynasty, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty granted another 15,000 acres of sacrificial land to the Confucius family, and also respected all the heads of the Confucius family as Yan Shenggong. This is the best example."
