Chapter 68: The Arrival of the Chin (4)
Li Fuguo's arrogant gaze looked around everyone, and finally fell on Yang Qi, he smiled slightly, and hugged his fists: "Yang Yuanjun, the miscellaneous family was ordered to go to Jiangnan this time, and they traveled thousands of miles to eat and sleep, and it was very hard along the way. The miscellaneous family has long heard that Jiangnan is the prosperous place of my Tang Dynasty, and today I see it and it is indeed worthy of its reputation. As soon as the miscellaneous family entered this Jiangning City, they were in a trance, and suddenly had the illusion of entering Luoyang, Chang'an! ”
Yang Qi also smiled politely and said: "Lord Qincha is really an award, Jiangning is just a small city in the south of the Yangtze River, how can it be compared with the imperial capital of Chang'an?" It's too far, it's too far! ”
"Kong Sheng, a scholar from Jiangnan, submitted a table to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to move the capital to Jinling......"
As soon as Li Fuguo's words came out, Yang Qi's eyes froze, and his face was slightly gloomy. He subconsciously glanced at Kong Sheng with an angry gaze, and regained his smile.
Fortunately, Li Fuguo immediately waved his hand with a smile and said: "His invitation to the capital of Jinling is brilliant, but it is not feasible to divorce from reality, and it is a joke among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty." However, this also shows that this son has a pure heart for his family and country, and he has won His Majesty's approval! ”
After Li Fuguo said this, most of the people present were taken aback. The so-called "Please Jinling Table" gradually spread in the world, but because of Yang Qi's secret suppression, it has not spread in Jiangning City for the time being, and not many people know about it, let alone anyone who knows that Kong Sheng actually sent such a letter to the imperial court suggesting that the capital be moved to Jinling.
Kong Sheng still hung his head slightly, ignoring the various stares and whispers of everyone.
Because Yanyulou is the property of the Yang family, Yang Xueruo, under the personal guidance of Meng Chong, the shopkeeper of Yanyulou, ascended the stairs from the back door and sat in a private room behind the attic.
When Yang Xueruo walked into the private room, it was when Li Fuguo talked about Kong Sheng's letter to ask for the capital Jinling. Yang Xueruo raised her eyebrows, and listened carefully.
"Yang Yuanjun, it is said that after the scholar Kong Sheng is your world friend, he still has a marriage contract with Miss Guifu?" Li Fuguo turned his head and smiled.
Yang Qi coughed and cleared his throat, and replied with a reluctant smile: "Lord Qincha, this official has some friendship with Kong Lin, the father of Kong Sheng, and he is considered the junior of this official, which is not wrong." ”
Guo Ziyi and Guo Fenyang personally recommended to the saint, saying that Kong Sheng, a scholar in Jiangnan, was peerless, both civil and military, and had the grand ambition to serve the imperial court, and His Majesty was very pleased to hear it. For the poems and texts published by Kong Sheng, His Majesty personally added the royal approval and ordered the world to recite them! ”
Li Fuguo laughed.
Zhou An's father and son's faces were even more embarrassed. At this banquet, Li Fuguo opened his mouth and closed Kong Sheng, praised Kong Sheng, and said that the emperor praised him very much.
Zhou Changtie blushed and the corners of his mouth trembled, and a raging fire of jealousy burned in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only bury his head deeply, and his shoulders were trembling.
The corner of Jiangning County Shou Liu Pingshan's mouth twitched, and he gasped. It is already obvious that Kong Sheng's poems have been valued by the imperial court, and the great eunuch Li Fuguo came to Jiangnan as far as possible, which must be related to Kong Sheng. The Kong family's little guy is really running, and his son is afraid that he will suffer in vain.
In the private room on one side, Yang Xueruo and Liu Xinru listened attentively, and a relieved smile appeared on their delicate faces.
Li Fuguo clapped his hands, glanced at Yang Qi, and suddenly said lightly: "Jiangnan Shizi Kong Shengke is there?" ”
Kong Sheng took a deep breath and calmed down, knowing that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had come. He stood up, took three steps forward, and bowed deeply to Li Fuguo and Yang Qi: "Kong Sheng greets Lord Qincha and Lord Envoy!" ”
Kong Sheng has no good impression of Li Fuguo, the notorious eunuch, but at least for a long time now, Li Fuguo is a powerful eunuch of the Tang Dynasty, and Kong Sheng will not go along with it, but he can't resist him lightly for the time being.
Besides, Li Fuguo's current identity is Qincha, which is unspeakably expensive. And Kong Sheng is just a white-clothed scholar, so he can't not bow to others.
Li Fuguo looked up at Kong Sheng, and praised him: "Sure enough, he is a handsome young man, and he deserves his reputation!" Kong Sheng, Kong Sheng, your name is now shaking the imperial court, the miscellaneous family came to the south of the Yangtze River this time, and even the two royal highnesses Princess Ningguo and Princess Jiguo instructed the miscellaneous family to remember to let the painter paint a portrait for you and bring it back to Lingwu, Your Highnesses want to see what kind of young hero my Datang is! ”
Li Fuguo praised it so much, but it made Kong Sheng feel a little embarrassed in his heart. He pretended to bow down in fear: "How can Kong Sheng be so virtuous, don't dare to be an adult so praised!" ”
Li Fuguo laughed heartily, his duck voice laughing was shrill and hoarse, a little harsh. Yang Qi frowned slightly on the side, and his contemptuous and disdainful look flashed away, all in Kong Sheng's eyes.
Kong Sheng sighed in his heart, the current situation is no longer under his control, if Yang Qi does not know the current affairs and resists the imperial court's orders, or shows something to offend this great eunuch who will be in power in the future, I am afraid that the end will be precarious.
Li Fuguo stood up suddenly, and his sharp voice echoed upstairs for a long time: "Your Majesty has a decree, Jiangnan scholar Kong Sheng, take the decree!" ”
A trace of ecstasy flashed in Kong Sheng's eyes, and he fixed himself on the spot.
Zhou An sighed in his heart, and his hand that was hiding in the case and pinching a jade pendant couldn't stop trembling. And Zhou Chang's face was pale, he almost couldn't control his jealousy, and he wanted to rush out of the building to cry and vent.
On the other hand, Yang Xueruo looked slightly nervous and subconsciously held her breath.
Liu Xinru knelt down on Yang Xueruo's case, hanging her head, and her heart was full of emotion. Kong Sheng, a prodigal scoundrel boy who used to disdain him, is now finally about to leap into the dragon gate, turn into a dragon, and soar into the sky?!
"Your Majesty has a will: Kong Sheng, the son of Jiangning, is both civil and military, courageous and knowledgeable, and has a heart for the society and the country, and I am very comforted, and I will give a reward of fine wine, safflower, and gold and silver silk. At the time of the national crisis, it was the time of employing people, and my relatives specially promoted Kong Sheng as a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and canonized him as the commander of Songcheng County, Suiyang County, Henan Province, and immediately went to his post as a model for young scholars in the world......"
Kong Sheng bowed to the ground and shouted: "Kong Sheng takes the order!" My emperor Longen, Kong Sheng should go to the national disaster and swear to serve the court to the death! ”
Son of Heaven's protégé! Everyone present, including the scholars, all let out a chorus of envy and exclamation. Yang Qi frowned slightly, and said in his heart that Suiyang was within the scope of the main battlefield of counterinsurgency, and let Kong Sheng go to Songcheng to serve as the county commander, this was really a national disaster...... Hmph, what a demagogic protégé title!
Li Fuguo was very satisfied with Kong Sheng's attitude, laughed, handed over the holy decree and the official documents such as the Zhaoshu canonized by the imperial court to Kong Sheng, and waved his hand: "Go down, the miscellaneous family will have to stay in Jiangnan for some time, you can go to the post by yourself." ”
Kong Sheng respectfully accepted the edict and a document, held it high in front of him, and then retreated and sat down.
