On the third day of June, in the early morning, Princess Bo Tangwei and others of Hanoi were angry, nervous and anxious, and finally waited for the reply: After dawn, all military and political officials at all levels entered Liyang City, Minister of Rites Yang Xuangan, Secretary of the Ministry of Rites You Yuan, General of the Left Imperial Guard Li Zixiong, General of Wu Ben Lang, General Wang Zhongbo of the General of the Holy Lord read the edict in Liyang County

Tang Wei and others believed this reply and decided to go to the city to visit You Yuan after dawn. The reason they believed it was because the person who conveyed the message on behalf of Yang Xuangan was a master of Confucianism in Middle Earth, a leading figure in the young scholars, a grandson of Confucius, and Kong Yingda, a native of Hengshui, Hebei.

Kong Yingda's rise in the Confucian scholars is directly related to the reform of the Holy Lord in education, selection and other systems.

In his later years, the late emperor was "unpleasant Confucianism and devoted himself to criminal prominence" and closed the world's academic institutions, leaving only the Central Imperial College, and the 72 students, which dealt a heavy blow to the Confucian education. After the sage ascended the throne, the Confucian industry revived, opened schools again, and selected talents through imperial examinations. The young Kong Yingda was then the first in the "Ming Jing" subject to the "Ming Jing". Soon the sage master imitated the story of Emperor Xuan of Han and the story of Emperor Zhang of Han discussing the scriptures and Emperor Zhang of Han discussing the rituals, and ordered him to be in Luo.

Yang held a large-scale Confucianism discussion. Kong Yingda talked about the various scholars during the debate and became famous in one battle. Na Yan, the highest commander of the Menxia Province who presided over the discussion at that time, was responsible for evaluating the top scholars, with Kong Yingda being the most. The sage master was very pleased and taught Kong Yingda, who was only 32 years old, as an assistant teacher in the Imperial Academy, thus establishing his position as a master of Confucian scholars in Middle-earth. If nothing unexpected happens, he will also become the future master and leader of Confucian scholars in Middle-earth.

The trees are so beautiful that the wind will destroy them. Kong Yingda's "one branch" in the Middle Earth made some noble and arrogant rich people who claim to be a scholar and have prejudices on Shandong scholars feel humiliated. At the same time, Kong Yingda's "prominence" not only represents the success of the Saint Lord's radical reform policy, but also represents the loss of interests of vested interest groups. This also makes many wealthy and powerful people unbearable. Therefore, Kong Yingda became the target of assassination, and became a bloody means for some nobles to attack Shandong scholars and threaten and curb radical reform.

At the moment of life and death, Yang Xuangan saved Kong Yingda. While Kong Yingda walked into Yang Xuangan's mansion for his protection, he also walked on Yang Xuangan's "ship". From then on, Yang Xuangan's imprint was stamped with Yang Xuangan's body, and he had to share honor and disgrace with Yang Xuangan, and to share misfortunes and good fortune.

In this mutiny, Kong Yingda played an important role. He and all Hebei people who participated in this mutiny took themselves as their "quality responsibility" and forcibly "kidnapping" the overall interests of Hebei people, trying to coerce more Hebei people into this mutiny. However, the reality is very "skinny". So far, although Kong Yingda has worked hard to travel around Hebei and tried his best to lobby all forces in Hebei, the people of Hebei people are on the Holy Lord and the Dongdu, the central government's reform policies, and the ongoing Dongdong.

Zheng was indeed full of complaints, which could be seen from the swarm of Hebei rebels. However, whether it is the local forces in Hebei or the heroes of Hebei rebels, their interests have always been "bound" with the interests of Hebei wealthy families. The two Hebei rich families, the Cui family of Boling and Li family of Zhaojun, are trying every means to promote the outbreak of this mutiny in order to make profits from it. In this case, they are firmly drawing a clear line with the radical forces in Guanlong. How could they join the mutiny and fall into it?

Yang Xuangan urgently needed to pull Tang Wei and his group of people on their own "ship", just wait for the banner to be lifted tomorrow morning, a proclamation, and a personnel appointment announced, which is a foregone conclusion. This group of Hebei people would not be able to participate in the mutiny. It is over now that things have come, and they cannot even argue. They jump into the Yellow River and cannot clear them. They can only follow Yang Xuangan one by one. So in order to stabilize these Hebei people, Yang Xuangan specially sent Kong Yingda, hoping that Kong Yingda would play a crucial role. After all, there is a "black hand" behind this group of Hebei people. This can be seen from the fact that Tang Wei and others were reluctant to enter Liyang for a long time, but they were reluctant to come but were quarreling to see You Yuan. This group of people was not here to "help", but to "make trouble".

Tang Wei and Kong Yingda are not only old acquaintances, but also brothers with good relationships. They are both disciples of Shandong's great scholar Liu Zhuo.

Liu Zhuo was from Hebei, as famous as Liu Xuan, and was known as the "Two Lius". He was the most famous master of Northern Confucianism after Xu Daoming and Xiong Ansheng. He was known together with Southern Confucian masters Lu Deming and Lu Shida. During the late emperor, Liu Zhuo was politically hit and his dignity was ravaged. It was not until the sage lord ascended the throne that he was "rehabilitated" and used it. However, the good times did not last long. The "predecessors" in Guanlong "chasing and fighting hard", and the second Liu fell into a political vortex. Three years ago, Liu Zhuo died of illness, and Dongdu was even stingy with rewards for his posthumous title, and Liu Xuan was even more miserable, and even the most basic survival became a luxury.

As a master of Northern Confucianism, Liu Chao and Liu Xuan's status as a scholar in the Middle Earth is unshakable. It is an outstanding evidence that Shandong people are proud of "capital" and regard themselves as righteous. Shandong people cannot overwhelm the Guanlong people in politics. They despise Guanlong people in culture and regard Guanlong people as barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood, and they despise them as barbarians who despise them as their ability to despise them. The Guanlong people immediately maliciously attacked and insulted Liu Chao and Liu Xuan in their personality, trampling the "pride" and "self-esteem" of Shandong people in a decent manner.

The fierce conflict between Shandong Confucian scholars and Guanlong Confucian scholars is just an integral part of the political game between Shandong and Guanlong. In this context, Yang Xuangan, as one of the most powerful political tycoons in the Guanlong noble group, no matter how kindness or win over the Shandong Confucian scholars he made to the Shandong Confucian scholars, he could not fundamentally win the trust of Shandong Confucian scholars. In terms of Kong Yingda, although he willingly served Yang Xuangan in order to repay Yang Xuangan's life-saving grace, at a critical moment, when there was a conflict between the interests of Shandong people and Yang Xuangan's personal interests, he would make choices that were beneficial to Shandong people without hesitation. That is to say, from his personal standpoint, he was willing to sacrifice everything for Shandong people.

Yang Xuangan knew this well and knew it well, so his trust in Kong Yingda was very limited, and he often made pure use of it. Deep in his heart, he also put the irreconcilable contradictions between Guanlong people and Shandong people first. Shandong people do not believe him, so how could he trust Shandong people? In this mutiny, he placed more hope of success in Xijing and Guanlong local aristocratic group to form an alliance with him at the critical moment, rather than trying every means to win cooperation among Shandong people at the beginning of his planning. In fact, he was indeed unable to win cooperation among Shandong people.

Kong Yingda passed on Yang Xuangan's message and patted his chest to make a guarantee, the people of Hebei eased, but it was only relaxed. They remained highly alert and the army remained in a state of war. They immediately withdrew from Li Yang as soon as there was a slight disturbance. The atmosphere in Li Yang is very tense now. Whether it is the white-haired thief on the other side of the river to kill, or the rumored Lai Huer and the navy army came over, they were unwilling to charge for Yang Xuangan and sacrifice their own interests for Yang Xuangan.

Tang Wei invited Kong Yingda to the side tent and asked straight to the point, "Zhongda, tell me the truth, have you ever seen You Zhishu these days in Liyang?"

Kong Yingda hesitated for a moment and nodded with a serious expression.

Tang Wei frowned and asked, "When did you see it?"

"On the first day after You Zhishu returned to Liyang, he went to pay a visit."

Tang Wei was unhappy when he heard this, but he did not have an attack. After pondering for a while, he asked again, "Have you ever seen this these days? Especially after Duke Jianchang (Li Zixiong) arrived in Liyang, have you ever seen You Zhishu appear?"

Kong Yingda shook her head, worried.

"Duke Jianchang arrived in Liyang, and You Zhishu didn't show up. What does this mean?" Tang Wei asked Kong Yingda without hesitation, "It would be fine if You Zhishu didn't show up, but what about his confidants? What about his guards? Why can't you see any of them? You haven't paid attention to such a strange thing? Haven't you ever inquired about it?"

Kong Yingda hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I have inquired quietly. It is rumored that after You Zhishu came back, he found that someone in Liyang had an affair with the gangsters and stole the food from Liyang Cang from inside and outside. So he went to Liyang Cang to investigate, and then..." Kong Yingda said this, a hint of fear flashed through his eyes and stopped.

Tang Wei glanced at him, waited for a while, and then couldn't help but couldn't hold back, "Zhongda, what's wrong? After You Zhishu went to Li Yangcang, he didn't come out again? Li Yang's situation was so tense, he didn't come out?"

Kong Yingda's face looked very ugly. She shook her head and then shook her head, but she just didn't say anything.

Tang Wei thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Zhongda, is the matter of Li Yangcang involved Yue Gong (Yang Xuangan)? If this matter is involved with Yue Gong, You Zhishu will go to Cang to investigate, wouldn't he worry about his life? Yue Gong did not dare to kill him, which does not mean that he could not kill people with a knife, or he could not kill him with the hands of a white-haired thief."

When Kong Yingda heard this, his expression changed drastically, and his emotions seemed to be a little out of control. "Do you know something? When you arrived in Liyang, you shouted to see You Zhishu. You must have a purpose. What is your purpose?"

Tang Wei sneered, "This sentence should be something that someone asked you, not someone. Zhongda, I asked you again, do you know the whereabouts of You Zhishu?"

Kong Yingda noticed a trace of danger from Tang Wei's tone, and then recalled Tang Wei's series of abnormal actions, and had already inferred in his mind, "Since you know something, of course you can infer the situation facing You Zhishu, it is impossible for you to save him."

"I don't have the idea of ​​saving him." Tang Wei also said bluntly, "I just want to know his life and death."

"No one dares to kill him, he must be alive." Kong Yingda said with a very certain tone, "There is no doubt about this."

Tang Wei sighed, "Since you don't know, then forget it. I'll ask you another thing, why did Mr. Yue have to go to Liyang City to read the Holy Lord's edict? Why didn't he read it in this camp nearby?"

Kong Yingda remained silent.

Tang Wei sneered, "If Li Yang changes and the city gate is closed, wouldn't we be surrendered?"

"Then don't go." Kong Yingda finally couldn't help it and cursed with a pun, "Since you are afraid of death, why are you still here? Why don't you escape overnight?

Tang Wei's face suddenly changed and he asked solemnly, "Is Li Yang really a change?"

Kong Yingda stopped talking and turned around and left.

"Zhongda, go with someone." Tang Wei grabbed him, "If you stay here, you will definitely die."

Kong Yingda shook his hand and sighed, "You go quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to go too late."
