Chapter 123: Dusk in the Eastern Capital (2)

There were more than a dozen guests in the hall, and each guest was standing next to a beautiful servant.

Wu Sansi took Kong Zhengfang's clothes, came to the hall, and introduced Kong Zhengfang one by one. Most of the guests who came were the North Gate bachelors who were spread in the streets, and everyone was a famous person, Yuan Wanqing, Liu Yizhi, Liu Yizhi, Zhou Simao, Fan Lubing, Wei Jingye, Miao Shenke, Hu Chubin, Yan Chaoyin, the son of Yan Lide, who was jealous with Yang Min's brother, Zong Chuke, the son of Wu Zetian's sister, and Wei Chengqing, the son of Su Wei and Wei Siqian, who had recently joined.

The political views are different, but these people have been in charge of the edict for the Empress Dowager for several years, and each of their family backgrounds is far better than Kong Zhengfang, even in writing, none of them are not leaders in the literary world.

Kong Zhengfang also greeted him honestly.

Most of them have a mild attitude, and there are a few people who are not so good.

After seeing the salute angrily, Wu Chengsi pulled him to the head. Kong Zhengfang originally wanted to push back, but after thinking about it, I am a messenger sent by the emperor, why can't I sit down at the head? I sat down calmly.

Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi looked at each other and smiled, clapped their hands, and the servant brought wine and food. Just about to toast, Zong Chuke stood up and said, "Duke Zhou, don't be busy, there is something unknown below." ”

"Please," Wu Chengsi said with his hand outstretched.

Zong Chuke looked at Kong Zhengfang and asked, "Kong County Cheng, may I ask what virtue and ability you have, and you are among the scholars?" ”

"Without him, I am the envoy of the Son of Heaven." Anyway, the matter has come to this, and Kong Zhengfang has also let it go.

"Then I would like to ask again, what is the strength of Kong County, you are the envoy of the Son of Heaven? Is it a piano and chess painting, or a moral article, or a family of menyin? ”

"Since I was a child, my family was poor, and I didn't have the resources to learn piano, chess, and painting, so I didn't know anything about it." This is a modest statement, and you know some of it, but in the face of this group of learned bachelors, if you say you know the skin, just wait for humiliation.

The article is even more ashamed, and can only know a little about the numbers. Only virtue can be difficult for him, and he has never done anything bad in his life. Teach people in Qinghai, do your best, lest you mislead people's children. Being the master is even more like walking on thin ice, lest anything go wrong. As a county officer, remember to be lenient and benevolent, and assist Ming Gong in governing the county. As an envoy of the Son of Heaven, although he is sending a letter, he is cautious all the way, so as to present the imperial music to the hands of the emperor. As for piano and chess painting, I am only a shallow learner, and I really don't know what it has to do with politics. Could it be that by playing a few good tunes, drawing a few good pictures, and writing a good hand, you can manage the environment and govern the government smoothly and the people are safe? ”

I don't know anything, but I can be a good official and have good conduct. It's not as good as you, but in order to pursue glory and wealth, you can do anything!

ruthlessly took the army of Zong Chuke.

Speaking of which, Kong Zhengfang has been in Qinghai for a long time, contaminated with the heroic spirit of the plateau, stood up and said: "Of course, when it comes to family history, it is even worse in the next, the ancestor is only a Confucius and has written a few books, which can be compared with you." ”

After speaking, he smiled slightly and sat down.

almost choked Zong Chuke to death.

Wu Chengsi started the round and said: "Don't fight, don't fight, Kong County Cheng came from afar, Wu toasted a glass." ”

After a glass of water and wine, Yan Chaoyin stood up again and said, "Kong Xiancheng, do you have parents alive in the world?" ”

"Yes, it's still in Shandong."

"Why don't you bring it with you and make offerings?"

"I am ashamed that I don't know how to make a living, so I have to let my parents send it to my eldest brother's place, and send some meager money every year to help my eldest brother feed."

"If it's a parent's life, will you accept it?"

There is a murder plan buried in this sentence.

"Yes!" Kong Zhengfang replied categorically.

Yan Chaoyin sat down satisfied, smiling at each other with Zong Chuke.

Zong Chuke took over his topic and asked, "Then why is the emperor not ordered by the empress and the empress dowager?" ”

"Hey, why did Zongjun say this?"

"Isn't it? At the beginning, the emperor led 500 armor soldiers to rush into the East Palace and coerce the emperor to make Chan Rang, which is what the Son of Man can do? ”

After killing Wang Guo, the contradiction between Li Wei and Wu Zetian intensified, otherwise Zong Chuke would not have the courage to say this.

Kong Zhengfang replied calmly: "Your Majesty, as the commander of the three armies and the prince of the East Palace, returned to the East Palace and led five hundred armor soldiers to defend the guards, did you exceed the etiquette system?" If the emperor has a bad heart, why should he run away and flee to the Western Regions again. It's good health, bad health, in the past few years, running around, running tens of thousands of miles, and the body has been dragged down alive. ”

"Then why did you kill Wang Guo?"

"Zongjun, let me ask you, does the emperor want to destroy the Tang Dynasty?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I just need your answer."

Zong Chuke shook his head helplessly.

"I don't want to destroy the Tang Dynasty, why do you want Wang Guo to go to Qinghai and shake the foundation of the Western war? This was originally a group of petty people, and Mowgli and others pointed to Fei Wuji, instigating King Chuping to kill the ministers of Prince Jian and Wu Hao, and wanted to corrupt the family. As a son of man, His Majesty is not good at pointing out the mistakes of his parents, so he can only silently kill Wang Guo and cover up for his parents. Sins and sins, as a courtier, how can you accuse Renjun at will," Kong Zhengfang slapped himself twice.

First, I explained, and then I said that you use the orders of your parents to accuse the emperor, don't forget, the father is the son, and the king is also the minister. What qualifications do you have to point out that the emperor is wrong!

actually made Zong Chuke and Yan Chaoyin speechless.

Yuan Wanqing didn't want to interject, but the bachelor of the North Gate was one, so he could only stubbornly say: "Even so, Khorasan in the river is too far away, and the family is useless. On the contrary, in the north, the Turks invaded, and the people in Hedong Guannei in Hebei were repeatedly harmed. If His Majesty wished, he should lead his army to destroy the Turks, instead of opening up Khorasan. Beauty is beauty, and without this move, it will not forcibly compete with the big food. Then Tubo will not take the opportunity to send troops to the Western Regions. ”

"Yuanjun, you have outstanding literary talents, and you have known him in Qinghai. In the next month, I heard that Jun used to ridicule Goryeo for not knowing the risk of guarding the green, has Jun not changed his shortcomings after so many years? The first two Turkic riots were huge, but they were defeated by Pei Shilang in an instant. Gu Lulu is just a general under Wen Bo, and Ashide Yuanzhen is an undesirable low-level official at the border pass. The momentum is far less than the previous two momentum, the scale is not as large as the first two times, and the appeal is far inferior. At the beginning, General Cheng and General Zhang said that they defeated Fu Nian and Wen Bo. Why can't you defeat Gu Lu and Yuan Zhen now? As rumored to be, are they usurping? ”

"It's because of the Guanzhong disaster......"

"Really? This year, the disaster situation in Guanzhong has calmed down, and although the prefectures in Henan Province have suffered some waterlogging, the disaster situation is far less than last year. Then I'll wait for good news from the two generals. But why does the emperor have to do it himself? Any campaign launched by the Chinese family in the future must be personally conquered by the emperor? ”

"But the emperor personally conquered the Western Regions!" Yan Chaoyin said.

Kong Zhengfang looked at him with a very contemptuous look. I have heard some things, and it was said that Yan Liben had a very close relationship with the emperor. Even if he doesn't take refuge in the Queen Mother, the emperor will also raise him in the future. Why did you also invest in the queen mother's pomegranate skirt?

He replied calmly: "Your Majesty went to the Western Regions with the original intention of quelling the Western Turkic rebellion. At that time, I didn't think of an expedition to Khorasan, otherwise you would have thought back to the preparations made by Your Majesty a few months before the expedition, isn't that so? The reason why I changed my mind was because there was a serious civil strife in Dashi, and the opportunity was rare. Your Majesty has described it in detail in the previous report, and I need no further explanation. Why did the Tibetans attack? Ladies and gentlemen, you can take out the map and take a look. Got Khorasan, which is the gate between the river and Tochar, and His Majesty never let the generals continue to expand the territory to the south and west, but got the entire Tocharian provinces and Sestan region, see what is the situation in Tibet? Even if Qinghai is taken down, the Tubo people will even have a problem with the salt they eat. Ladies and gentlemen, my number one enemy is not the Turks, the Turks have fallen. But Tibet, no matter how powerful the Turks are, if General Xue Rengui is still alive, he leads 50,000 male soldiers and 50,000 people to go to Heisha, even if Guo Zhifeng and Xue Rengui are not in harmony, will all 100,000 people be lost in Heisha? After surviving this battle, the Tibetans will surrender without a fight. What else, more important than this one for our Tang Dynasty? ”

"Then in your opinion, the emperor is still alive, and the emperor is in charge of the most elite soldiers and the most warlike generals in the country, is that right?"

"What's wrong? It is the emperor, not the crown prince, and he has military power. What are your concerns? Or what some people slander? It is said that the emperor is in charge of the Qinghai armies and will lead the army to counterattack the Central Plains, causing civil strife in the Tang Dynasty. Isn't it? It's a real joke, if the emperor is alive, the emperor will lead the army to the east, and he will pull out this pair of eyes and hang them on the Tianjin Bridge. ”

Again, there is no one to deal with it.

It's not that Li Zhi is alive, Li Wei will lead the army back. Guan Jian is Li Zhi died of illness, Li Wei will lead the army back, and the old accounts and new accounts will be settled.

Wu Chengsi frowned, very dissatisfied.

In this war of words, this group of well-educated people actually defeated a poor student. The atmosphere was a little unbearable, clapped his hands and said: "You don't have to explain, this matter has the emperor and the queen mother and you all in charge, and it is not for you and me to care." Come on, singing and dancing. ”

A group of dancing girls came and danced the "Green Waist Dance", a soft dance.

The dances of the Tang Dynasty were divided into Jian Dance, Soft Dance and Flower Dance, Character Dance and Horse Dance. Horse dance is a composite dance in which dancers ride horses, and most of them are male dancers. The flower dance is the appearance of the dancers wearing colorful clothes and various flowers, and the word dance is spelled into words. In later generations, the opening ceremony of the Chinese Olympic Games was mostly flower dance and word dance.

The most common are Jian Dance and Soft Dance. The range of movements in the healthy dance is large, and the soft dance has a deep emphasis on the waist, wrists, steps, forehead, width, and skirt.

The dancing girl in the middle looks very bright and dances very well.

Since he didn't want to be ugly, Kong Zhengfang watched the dance of this group of dancing girls with peace of mind.

Wu Chengsi said: "Kong Xiancheng, the dancer who led the dance is named Lu Cao, she is an official eunuch, her father is guilty, she is in the inner teaching workshop, she has a gentle personality and a gorgeous appearance, I usually like it very much." ”

"Hmm."

"Can it be in your eyes?"

"Don't dare."

"Why don't you dare, just by what you just said, I appreciate it very much. Today, Wu is happy, so he will give her to you. ”

The hard ones don't work, the soft ones come again. Kong Zhengfang smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, it is very difficult to barely feed a family when you are poor in the next family, how dare you accept this concubine." ”

"Then what's the matter, come here, take out two hundred gold, and reward it to Kong County."

"Gong Gong, I have no merit in the next place, thank you for my love, I don't dare to accept it."

"Don't you give Wu's face?"

"If you don't give it, you don't dare to take it, and the two can't be mixed together." Seeing that Wu Chengsi was about to have a seizure, Kong Zhengfang stood up and said: "The kid is from a humble background and doesn't understand etiquette. ”

As he spoke, he was about to take his leave.

"Wait," Wu Chengsi pulled up his sleeve again, and said to everyone: "A certain beast has been raised, I like it very much, it is an adult, please take a look." ”

And he brought them to the leopard house.

The big spotted leopard that was originally raised has also reached adulthood, it is well raised, its fur is smooth, and its physique is strong.

Wu Chengsi asked the servant to catch a little rabbit and put it in the leopard house, the big leopard was about hungry, so he pounced fiercely, pressed the rabbit to the ground, swallowed it alive for a while, was not full, and was still staring at everyone with oily eyes.

Wu Chengsi said: "If a stranger falls in at this time, what will be the consequences? ”

His eyes swept around Kong's square body.

Don't think that Wu Chengsi is joking, these are the people of the Queen Mother, who really pushed herself down, and no one will say anything to the outside world, only that he will say that he stumbled after drinking. But at this time, Kong Zhengfang instead held on to his will to die and kept silent.

Yan Chaoyin laughed and said, "There will be no place to die." ”

"But there's one thing it can't eat."

"What is it?"

"Righteousness! It's not too early, so I will say goodbye under it. ”

Wu Chengsi's face was full of anger, and he was about to have a seizure, when Wu Sansi secretly tugged at his sleeve.

But this answer finally made a person reflect, and when he walked out of the door, Fan Lubing deliberately fell behind, and said in a low voice: "We don't care, the Queen Mother is not what you can say." ”

"Fan Jun is noble, but he is a slut in the lower position, and the Queen Mother is not worth grinding her tongue with the lower."

Fan Lubing thought for a moment and said: "Yes, but you have been out of the door since then, and since then the world has really become famous." ”

"A name is something outside of the body. It's just for the courtiers, you have to be loyal to the king and love the country, otherwise what kind of morality and conduct, door shade and merit, talent and articles can be talked about? ”

Walking on the ice was silent for a long time. Then he looked at Kong Zhengfang's departing back and kept pondering. Although he has received the favor of the Queen Mother, what is it compared to the Chinese family? It's time to tell the truth to the emperor. To be continued.
