Chapter 2198: Kong Xuan surrenders
“My Lord, Kong Rong conspired and participated in the rebellion. The evidence is conclusive. Extermination of the family is not a matter of course.”
Jia Xu had a natural look on his face. In his opinion, even if Qin Hao came back, the fate of Kong Rong and others would still be wiped out, and this would never change.
Qin Hao said: "It is indeed natural to rebel and destroy the family, but what I want to ask is why Kong Rong's family was destroyed so suddenly."
Jia Xu understood clearly and explained: "It's like this. Shortly before my lord returned to Luo, the Kong family sent someone to intercede for Kong Rong's two young sons.
Kong Rong was from the Kong family, and he committed such a major crime as treason against the nine clans. The Lord did not hold the Kong family accountable, which was enough to give him face, but the Kong family actually wanted to save Kong Rong's two youngest sons. It's just too much.
by by  by By by me, I couldn't agree to such a rude request, so I refused very forcefully. The Kong family is so stern-looking that they didn't dare to bother me too much. "
“Since you have already refused, why do you want to kill the family in advance?” Qin Hao asked with some confusion.
"I'm worried that the Kong family has hit a snag with me. I'm unwilling to wait for my lord to come back and find the lord. In order to prevent you from being in a dilemma, lord, I simply kill Kong Rongman's family in advance to completely cut off the Kong family's obsession. read."
After hearing Jia Xu's words, the corners of Qin Hao's mouth twitched involuntarily. He never expected that Jia Xu would be so confident, and it was because of himself that he wiped out the entire Kong Rong family in advance.
However, this is indeed Jia Xu's acting style, decisive, vicious, and merciless.
Kong Rong has a very high reputation in the officialdom. In history, Cao Cao caused a lot of criticism when he exterminated his family. However, Jia Xu, who was always good at protecting himself wisely, unexpectedly went out of his way this time and wiped out Kong Rong's entire family in such a tough way. This is natural. Deep reasons.
Cao Cao had different political views from Kong Rong and was angered by Kong Rong, so he destroyed his entire family. Kong Rong himself did not commit any serious crime.
The situation was different when Jia Xu killed Kong Rong's entire family. Kong Rong had already participated in the rebellion, and the evidence was conclusive. No matter how high his reputation was, rebellion was a capital crime, and it was not an exaggeration to wipe out his entire family.
Of course, Jia Xu’s purpose of killing Kong Rong’s family in advance was not because of Kong Rong’s crime, but to use it to beat the Kong family.
Jia Xu felt that the Kong family was taking advantage of the situation, so he deliberately killed the Kong Rong family to slap and warn the Kong family, don't be shameless, otherwise the Kong Rong family will be your fate.
Because they are descendants of the Holy Confucius, the Kong family has a transcendent status and is treated well wherever they go. I have never seen such a rude person as Jia Xu.
Seeing that Jia Xu not only disagreed, but also wanted to be wiped out by Kong Rong's family, the Kong family was so frightened by Jia Xu's cruelty that they no longer dared to say a word "no", and they fled back to Qufu in despair.
After understanding all the causes and consequences, Qin Hao felt speechless in his heart. He knew that not only did Jia Xu do nothing wrong, but he also did something right. He had considered all aspects, but he just felt like he had been cheated.
Looking at Qin Hao with a gloomy expression, Jia Xu knew that his lord should be dissatisfied with the issue of dealing with Kong Rong's family, but he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, so he asked: "What do you think, lord?" What did I do wrong?"
Qin Hao shook his head and said, "No, uncle, you did the right thing, but the current situation is a bit special."
“How is it special?” Jia Xu asked puzzledly.
"how to say…"
After Qin Hao organized some conversation, he told Jia Xu all about the relationship between Kong Rong and Kong Peng, as well as his intention to recruit Kong Peng. After hearing this, Jia Xu looked stunned and finally understood Qin Hao's intention.
If Kong Peng was an ordinary person, the Kong Rong family would naturally be destroyed if they were destroyed, but he was the second master of the Kong family after Kong Xuan. It would be impossible for any of the princes to avoid worrying about the inexplicable enmity between such a powerful general.
"So, the relationship between Kong Peng and Kong Rong is closer than that of brothers. Is the Lord worried that killing Kong Rong's entire family will make Kong Peng angry with our army, and even disregard the safety of his family to oppose our army?"
“That’s right.” Qin Hao nodded.
Jia Xu, however, looked unbelieving and said, "This is unlikely. The Kong family has been a family for thousands of years. How can it be possible that it can't manage its own disciples well?"
"Well, how should I put it? Kong Peng is different from the rest of the Kong family. He is a reckless man. No, he should be stupid. This person accepts death and is not a person who cares about the overall situation of the family."
The look of surprise on Jia Xu's face was even worse: "The Confucian Confucian heirloom has thousands of years of experience, how can he teach his direct descendants to become reckless men?"
Qin Hao was speechless: "Uncle, you don't seem qualified to say that."
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red.
He was very attentive to his son's teaching, but Jia Fu still became a reckless man. It seems that he is really not qualified to say so.
"Actually, my lord, there is no need to worry. The Kong family has finally established a relationship with our army. It is impossible for this unfilial son to destroy it. If this Kong Peng really dares to go against our army, he will not need our army's action. The Kong family will definitely suppress it first.”
“That’s true, but I am worried that Kong Peng will cause losses to our army before that happens.”
"There is no need to worry about this either. Any losses suffered by our army, as long as they are caused by Kong Peng, will be recorded on the head of the Kong family. Who gave birth to such an unworthy descendant of the Kong family?"
“Isn’t this a bit too bullying?”
"How could it be? Since this trouble comes from the Kong family, the Kong family has the responsibility to solve it. If it can't be solved, Kong Peng will be responsible for it. It's fair and just."
Facing Jia Xu's domineering and unreasonable behavior, Qin Hao had only one thought in his mind, and that was a job well done.
“Report...to inform the lord that important information has been sent back from Qingzhou.”
After taking it, Qin Hao frowned at first, then relaxed, and handed the letter to Jia Xu on the side.
“Kong Peng escaped from the Kong family. Kong Xuan went to stop him but failed. Kong Peng was rescued by his two sworn brothers. The Kong family was worried that Kong Peng would do something bad, so they decided to send Kong Xuan to serve under the king.”
Having said that, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Kong family is worthy of being a thousand-year-old family. With this cautiousness, it is reasonable for its survival to be passed down to this day.
As soon as something happened to Kong Peng, the Kong family immediately tried to find a way to remedy it. They abandoned Kong Peng without hesitation and declared that Kong Peng was a traitor to the Kong family. All his actions had nothing to do with the Kong family. At the same time, they sent Kong Xuan to join the Qin Dynasty. Under Hao's command.
The Kong family has such a spineless, kneeling attitude of putting aside their self-esteem. Even if Qin Hao wants to cause trouble, he can't find any fault, otherwise other wealthy families will inevitably die in grief.
