Chapter 430

Although Yansheng family is also called Dacheng supreme sage family, which is equivalent to the demigod on earth, they also want to eat.

In addition to their own land tax and land rent, the income of the Kong family is the reward of the royal family. In recent years, the royal court can't make ends meet, and the reward to their family is less. It all depends on their own income in the field. However, it has been a dry year for more than ten years, and the income in the field has also decreased, but they haven't eaten less.

But another generation of giants is different. The Liu family seems to have a lot of money. Even the Kong Family dare not make a large-scale disaster relief. Unexpectedly, the Liu family dared to do it. Although they got a name to buy people's hearts, they did it. Yan Shenggong actually admired this.

At this time, his good friend Jingyun Gong came to persuade you to marry. He thought a little and agreed immediately.

My daughter is actually a hard-working person. Seeing that she is waiting to be married, her husband's family is a short-lived ghost. Fortunately, he died quickly. If he married and died again, it would be even worse. Now she has become a lookout. With the reputation of the Kong family, it would be very shy to have a remarried daughter.

Although his future in laws, after the groom's death, also learned to return the marriage certificate and solve the engagement, with his Kong family's reputation, I'm afraid it would be very bad for him to let his daughter remarry. Their Kong family depends entirely on fame. If they don't have fame and any defects, it will be a fatal blow to them.

However, it sounds quite good to marry the Liu family this time. First, the Liu Yuanqiao family is a famous figure in the world. This time, they made great efforts to provide disaster relief, but they gained great fame and the name of thousands of living Buddhas. Of course, it also takes great courage to do so. Lord Yan dared not do it himself, but dared to do it to others, He still expressed great appreciation.

Moreover, his good friend Jing Yungong also explained to him his difficulties and the difficulties of being a local father in Shandong. For example, the superficial scenery of the Liu family is actually in an embarrassing situation, which is that their wealth and their behavior have aroused suspicion in the court.

If someone else heard that it caused the taboo in the court, it would be impossible to avoid it, but this suspicion is not a thing for the Kong family at all.

Duke Jingyun has told him that if the Liu family is here, the East Third House will be stable. If the Liu family is not there, there will certainly be great unrest in the east third house. This situation is as serious as hanging eggs. Duke Jingyun believes that they are fully obliged to contribute to stabilizing the place.

Another is the betrothal gifts sent by the Liu family. Looking at the list of betrothal gifts, he can basically solve his troubles for ten years. He can't help sighing that Liu Yuanqiao is worthy of being an eight faced Buddha, with the ability of turning a stone into gold. The Liu family in Linqing is the richest in the world, which is also worthy of its reputation.

Although they have withdrawn from Linqing, their name of being the richest in the world has spread all over the world. Even Lord Yan is eager to learn. Although he is a scholar, who values literature rather than money, he also understands one of the most basic principles, that is, Cang endowment knows etiquette and music. People should not worry about eating and drinking before they can consider reading and literacy.

In the eyes of others, there is no benefit in marrying the Liu family, but in the eyes of Yan Shenggong, the benefit is real, and ten thousand steps back. Even if something happens to the Liu family in the future, can it still involve the Kong family? Is the status of the Kong Family determined by heaven? It is the foundation of the stability of the feudal dynasty for more than 2000 years. Even if any generation of emperors and imperial courts are dissatisfied with the Kong family, they can't do anything about him. At most, they just give less rewards, so that they can continue to study at home and serve their ancestors.

Of course, the biggest reason why Yan Shenggong agreed to the marriage is that he appreciates Liu Yuanqiao. His ability is true. He is three years older than himself. He is better than his birth, but he is worse than him.

Yan Shenggong's title was handed down to him by his ancestors. His actual rights are only responsible for the county magistrate of Qufu county. Frankly speaking, he is extremely rich, but his administrative power is limited to Qufu County, and his influence extends to the whole Yanzhou government. However, in terms of real power, it is still a long time behind the Liu family.

Sheng Gong Yan understood Liu Yuanqiao's thoughts. Liu Yuanqiao wanted to build the Liu family into a family no lower than the Confucius family. Since there was this express, why didn't he take the opportunity to take a ride?

So he agreed.

This is not a simple marriage, but also an alliance between the two families.

When the two families heard about this incident, it caused a sensation in Shandong. Now even the people of the third east mansion can see the taboo of the imperial court against the Liu family. Many people are grateful that the Liu family took out a lot of money to relieve the disaster when the people were in great disaster, but many people who are sensible know that in this way, the Liu family will inevitably escape the accusation of buying the hearts of the people. These days, They often want to do good things, but they will end up in infamy, and those who do good things will not end well.

Moreover, many people have also found the disharmony between the Liu family and the imperial court. If this disharmony expands, it is estimated that the place will fall into great turmoil and unrest. Only two or three years have passed since the good days, and many people are afraid of it.

Besides, after Liu Yuanqiao took charge of the east third house, the east third house is completely different from the West Third House. After Liu Yuanqiao took charge of the east third house for more than a year, he wiped out bandits and mountain bandits, making the local stable. Although it does not reach the point of staying indoors at night, the people live and work in peace and prosperity.

In the wealthier West Third House, bandits are rampant and local chaos is endless. In the past, the people of the East Third House fled to the West Third House. Now, a large number of people of the West Third House fled to the east third house to find jobs and go there to go to relatives.

Everyone knows the status of the Confucius family in Shandong. Once the Liu family becomes relatives with the Confucius family, it is equivalent to the Confucius family. They will be sheltered by the Confucius family many times, which means that the status of the Liu family has begun to stabilize. Many people have a premonition and uneasiness about the coming chaos, However, seeing the most disturbing factor in Shandong, the Liu family actually adopted such policies and measures, which means that they will calm down, which makes the people excited and happy, which is regarded as the news of universal celebration.

The news reached the capital more than 2000 kilometers away, which also surprised and unprepared the civil and military officials in the capital.

You know, the Manchu court now has a consensus that the Liu family has become a new generation of warlords. Such warlords must be overthrown or even slaughtered. All officials of the court can criticize and criticize them from the commanding height of morality. Anyway, it has become a political right to deal with the Liu family, so the first auxiliary Wen Tiren came to an end in person, Even Zhang Fengyi, the Minister of the Ministry of war, sent his confidants to take away the military power of the Liu family in advance, hoping to take the lead in the wave of overthrowing the Liu family and gain benefits. As a result, he returned in frustration.

However, this did not affect the dissatisfaction of the central government with the Liu family. Even Wen Tiren put forward some adjustment policies. Liu Yuanqiao's ability is very strong, so strong that he can't leave the east third house. However, they don't want him to sit down in this position. If Liu Yuanqiao sits up in this position again, it will be too big to control.

Therefore, some of them suggested that Liu Yuanqiao be transferred to central Beijing to serve as Taichang Temple minister, and Liu Bu be transferred to the governor's office of the five armed forces to serve as a high-level governor. It is said that promotion actually deprives them of their actual power. This means of promotion and downfall has been tried repeatedly in the Korean dispute. Many senior officials use this adversary method to deal with officials they don't like.

In fact, being an official doesn't depend on how many products you are, but on the power you have in your hands. Even if you are of high grade and superior, if you don't have actual power, do you have a gross use?

However, when they heard such news, many people felt embarrassed, because every scholar deeply believed that heaven did not give birth to Confucius saints, and the night lasted forever, so they were full of admiration and respect for the Confucius family in Qufu, Shandong. Even in the Ming Dynasty, it was a crime to disrespect and insult the Confucius Temple, It's like you don't respect the church or the Bible in the West.

Therefore, these people are full of respect and courtesy for the children of the Confucius family. In their eyes, respecting the Confucius family means respecting the Confucius sage. If they don't respect the Confucius sage, they will be in vain as scholars and the public enemy of scholars.

Who knows that at this time, when everyone shouted at Liu Yuanqiao in the middle of the court, he actually became the son-in-law of the Kong family and the son-in-law of contemporary Yan Shenggong. It's bullshit. Liu Yuanqiao is three years older than Yan Shenggong and nearly thirty years older than her daughter. He actually married the current Yan Shenggong's daughter as his wife, This is the whole thing, embarrassing everyone.

You should know that the Confucius residence in Shandong is the moral benchmark of scholars and scholars in the world, that is, their spiritual belief. Everything they do is tall and there will be no mistake. Even if there is a mistake, it is the mistake of the people below. This time, it's good that Yan Shenggong actually made such a thing and tossed such a son-in-law, This makes everyone feel embarrassed and uneasy.

There was a new trend in the dynasty, and many imperial officials and officials have prepared memorials to impeach the Liu family for rampant places, dominating the country and arbitrarily levying charges. This is a kind of political correctness. They can criticize them from the high ground of morality, but if the other party becomes a member of the Confucius government, It has become a part of their spiritual respect for the family. If you criticize it again, it will be equivalent to criticizing the Kong family, and it will be equivalent to lifting a big stone and smashing yourself in the foot. What should I do?

After hearing this news, Wen Tiren's first reaction was that the food was bad this time, which made them unable to carry out all their plans for the Liu family in the open, but only in the dark. He quickly sent his confidants south to Shandong all night and was sure to stop it, he said: "In any case, you should persuade Lord Yan to cancel his engagement with the Liu family, otherwise it is inconsistent with the overall situation of the imperial court“
