Kong Sheng left the Zhao Mansion with only two soldiers dressed in civilian clothes, and he didn't even let Mu Changfeng follow.
Walking down the steps of King Zhao's mansion, the smile on Kong Sheng's face suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a deep dignified color.
Early this morning, he found a secret letter in the outer hall of his guest room, which turned out to be the emperor's own handwriting. The emperor was going to meet him again in the wine shop that day, how this secret letter was transmitted to King Zhao's mansion and sent to him unknowingly, Kong Sheng didn't know anything, and it seemed that Mu Changfeng, who lived next door to him, was also unaware.
This only says two things.
First, there are many strange people around the emperor, with all kinds of mysterious and unpredictable means. And since this method can be used as a communication message, it can also become a deadly threat.
Second, the emperor's eyeliner is all over the court and the opposition, even in this Zhao Wangfu, I am afraid that there are the emperor's eyes, ears and secret power. Although Kong Sheng lived in seclusion in the palace of King Zhao, he was actually no different from the emperor under his nose.
Kong Sheng had to admit that the real Tang Emperor Li Heng was more unfathomable than he remembered. In fact, it is normal to think about it, if Li Heng is really a cowardly and incompetent person, at a critical moment, he cannot decisively launch the Ma Weipo mutiny, so as to divide his troops and march westward, and establish himself as the emperor in Lingwu. The person who can be the emperor, the person who can sit on the throne of the emperor, does not have a fuel-efficient lamp.
Kong Sheng was vigilant in his heart.
He is at a turning point in his fate, further expanding the sea and the sky, and taking a step back is to shake the earth and shake the mountains and lose everything. So he can't be careless.
Kong Sheng looked up at the gorgeous autumn day hanging in the sky. He groaned slightly. strode into the street, identifying the direction of Xinghuafang and walking slowly.
"Pedestrians retreat! His Royal Highness the King of Chu returns home! β
Banners were unfurled, crowns were gathered, several teams of mighty forbidden troops dressed in bright light armor opened the way with spears, dozens of palace female eunuchs and all kinds of servants performed their duties, and they rushed out of the imperial city.
At this moment, half of Li Li's Luan drove out of the Suzaku Gate and slowly walked on the wide Suzaku Street. Pedestrians and even passing merchants retreated to the side of the street. Cast a look of awe at the mighty guard of honor. Kong Sheng was also caught in the crowd, waiting for the guard of honor to pass through.
Li Jiao straddled his majestic Hexi BMW with a slight sense of pride, dressed in a purple royal robe and a carefree crown, and the whole person looked majestic and peaceful, and the atmosphere was myriad.
The emperor gave him half a luan, and the position of prince was about to be taken. Although Li Li didn't want to deliberately swagger through the market, he couldn't hide his excitement and arrogance.
The eldest son, Li Shi, also rode a horse by his side, one step behind him.
Li Shi also looked around on the horse with honor, looking at the people in the city on both sides of the street who were paying attention to the guard of honor with excited and proud eyes. Suddenly, his gaze froze. I saw Kong Sheng standing quietly in the crowd, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
Li Yi immediately remembered Kong Sheng's arrogance and rudeness that day, a mere minister from the fourth grade, who dared not to give face to his father, what is this not a tiger beard? It just doesn't make sense! Li Shi suddenly got angry, so he beat his horse and walked quickly, and whispered in Li Li's ear.
Li Jiao turned his head to look and saw a handsome young man in the crowd standing in the wind, with an elegant temperament, standing out from the crowd of businessmen and ordinary people, standing out very obviously.
A grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Stop!" Someone come, send that Kong Sheng to see the king! β
Several forbidden soldiers aggressively cleared the crowd and walked in his direction, Kong Sheng frowned, and knew that trouble was coming. The two civilian soldiers behind him looked very nervous, and secretly reached for the dagger hidden in his arms, Kong Sheng coughed lightly, glanced back at the two, and said softly: "Don't be impatient." If I'm in trouble for a while, you can quickly go to Xinghuafang Xinghualou to see someone......"
Kong Sheng secretly handed the gold medal given by the emperor to one of the soldiers.
The two soldiers bowed to Kong Sheng, quietly retreated, and blended into the crowd.
A little eunuch walked over proudly, looked left and right, glanced at Kong Sheng, and said in a sharp voice: "Are you the Songzhou Taishou Kong Sheng?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu has an order, please go over and see the king. β
Kong Sheng took a deep breath and nodded: "This official is Kong Sheng." β
The little eunuch shrugged his shoulders and turned to go. Kong Sheng followed calmly, his steps unhurried.
The guard of honor and the guards of the forbidden army immediately separated.
Li Jiao sat on a tall horse and looked down at Kong Sheng condescendingly.
Although Li Li is not a person with a small belly, he invited him repeatedly, but Kong Sheng didn't even give him face, which directly touched his bottom line. At this moment, in Li Li's mind, Kong Sheng has become a person under the Li family, and since the Li family has signs of competing with him for the throne, then he is his enemy and opponent.
As for opponents and enemies, Li Li has never been merciful.
Kong Sheng's face did not change, his heart did not skip a beat, he bowed deeply, and shouted loudly: "Xiaguan Songzhou guards Kong Sheng, meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" β
When the crowd of onlookers heard that it was the legendary Kong Sheng, they immediately became in an uproar, and they all cast eager, curious, or awe-inspiring glances at Kong Sheng. Kong Sheng's name is in Chang'an, which can be called the focus of the news, not to mention that Kong Sheng's poems are widely sung in the community, even various anecdotal stories about Kong Sheng's courage and invincibility are also known to women and children.
Li Li said lightly: "Kong Sheng, you are just a fourth-grade magistrate, and when you see this king, you dare not kneel down to see it?" What a daring! β
The Tang Dynasty was not one of the extremely servile dynasties in later generations, and the monarchs and ministers were actually relatively equal. Li Jiao picked thorns on the grounds that Kong Sheng did not kneel down to see, and it was obvious that he was finding fault.
Kong Sheng raised his eyebrows and said: "This place is not above the court, and the King of Chu is not in front of His Majesty. β
Li Li smiled coldly: "It seems that in your eyes, there is no such thing as this king, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses." β
Although he knew that Li Li was suspected of finding fault, Li Li had nothing to do in public, although Kong Sheng's face did not change, the anger in his heart was gradually stirred up.
Kong Sheng arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty doesn't understand what His Royal Highness the King of Chu means. β
Li Jiao shouted angrily: "Yellow-mouthed son! You don't understand? Do you really not understand or pretend not to understand? β
Kong Sheng sneered in his heart, but said calmly: "Xiaguan really doesn't understand. β
Li Shi reprimanded on the side: "Kong Sheng, you dare to be rude to my father and the king, and rush into the honor guard of Yu Ci Luan!" Come, take him down, and hand him over to the division to punish the crime! β
Li Jiao seemed to be smiling, silent, sitting on his horse and squinting his eyes and casting a contemptuous glance at Kong Sheng.
Several guards rushed up and wanted to take down Kong Sheng.
The two guards grabbed Kong Sheng's arm and wanted to tie him up. Kong Sheng's face sank, and he shook his arms slightly, and then got rid of the guard's grasp, and then stepped forward half a step forward and said coldly: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, when will the lower officials collide with His Royal Highness Luanjia?" In front of everyone's eyes, His Royal Highness wants to add to the crime, and he is really cold. β
Li Jiao didn't expect Kong Sheng to dare to resist, and even questioned him in public, so he suddenly became furious, raised his finger at Kong Sheng, and reprimanded: "What a thief, you dare to slander this king!" Wait for him to be taken down?! β
Kong Sheng's anger could no longer be contained.
He suddenly turned around, his arms drooped, his eyes were awe-inspiring, he looked around at a few guards who were threatening him, and said in a deep voice: "This official is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and he ordered Songzhou Taishou, and he was summoned to enter the capital to face the saint, who dares to touch me?!" β
