Chapter 363: Debut on Stage (4)

Kong Sheng turned around and hugged Li Shi with a fist: "What advice does the King of Fengjie County have?" ”

The young Li Shi looked at Kong Sheng gloomily, deliberately avoided Kong Sheng's convincing title of "King of Fengjie County", and said coldly: "Chang'an Hou, listen to your words, I have a lot of resentment against the court and Your Majesty, could it be that Your Majesty is too shallow to reward you?" ”

Kong Sheng looked up to the sky and snorted: "King Fengjie County, why do you say this?" Kong Sheng asked himself indifferently about fame and fortune, and felt that the title of Marquis of Chang'an was deserved, so I once asked for the title of Marquis of Chang'an three times, these are obvious to the eye, how did it become resentful and dissatisfied in the mouth of the king of the county? Although you are the king of the county, you can't be honest and inflict on Kong Sheng on trumped-up charges! ”

Li Shi sneered: "Chang'an Hou, today you show off your strength and exploits in public at the banquet and don't say anything, I came to ask you, the emperor is still in the court, you are singing the so-called song of long hatred, what is your intention?" Does this count as a violation of etiquette, a crime, and a reckless transgression?! ”

Li Shi raised his hand and looked around at everyone, especially at Li Kui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and shouted: "All the princes and ministers, Lord Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Chang'an Hou Kong Sheng and the Emperor Qingyu, have committed a serious crime of disrespect, do you want to sit idly by and ignore it?" ”

Seeing that Li Shi had called his name, Li Yu had to get up and say embarrassedly under the pressure of Li Li: "The words of the King of Fengjie County are very reasonable-Chang'anhou, your behavior today is indeed a crime of disrespect to the Emperor, and tomorrow, this official will definitely play a copy of you to Your Majesty!" ”

Ma Ping, who was choked by Kong Sheng just now, took the opportunity to get up and echoed: "Lord Shangshu, why wait for tomorrow. Kong Sheng did not have the majesty of the imperial court. He even sang a poem of disrespect to the emperor. The sin is unforgivable, it is better for us to immediately enter the palace to worship the saint, take down this arrogant man, and immediately hand it over to Dali Temple to ask for guilt! ”

Li Shi looked around at the people around him with a sneer, and many bureaucrats or children of official eunuchs who tried to cling to the King of Chu opened their mouths and shouted, clamoring for Kong Sheng to be punished. Maintain the supreme majesty of the Emperor Taishang and the Li Tang royal family.

Princess Ji Guo's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she was about to say a few fair words for Kong Sheng, but she was stopped by a look from King Zhao and Li Department.

It's about the emperor. As a descendant of the royal family, it is not appropriate for them to speak at this time. Although the Li family also felt that Li Shi was taking advantage of this to make trouble purely unreasonable, but when it came to the reputation of the emperor's grandfather, if they stood up and publicly stood on Kong Sheng's side, they would undoubtedly give people a handle and leave a message for those who had a heart.

Princess Ji Guo's heart was beating off, she was unhappy, and she couldn't hold it back. But the elder brother of King Zhao and Li had a very important position in the hearts of Ning Guo and Ji Guo, and Ji Guo gritted his teeth and still sat there without moving.

The crowd was noisy and gossiping. A hat that was disrespectful and rebellious to the Emperor Li Longji was buckled on Kong Sheng's head.

Kong Sheng's face remained unchanged, and Shi Shiran stood on the spot indifferently. There was not the slightest hint of panic.

He didn't even open his mouth to defend himself.

He is too lazy to justify.

Don't look at these people shouting fiercely, in fact, they are just nonsense. He was the emperor's imperial seal of Chang'an, a great hero of the counterinsurgency, and his prestige among the people was already close to Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, who were famous generals at that time. If you want to cure Kong Sheng's crime, it is absolutely impossible to do it without the emperor opening his mouth and without going through the court meeting.

If it is only based on the interests of some people's tongues, a prince and minister can be convicted, and the etiquette system and royal law of the Tang Dynasty have become a big joke!

So Kong Sheng was indifferent.

Seeing that Kong Sheng actually raised his head to the sky, looking cold and proud, the anger in Li Shi's heart became more and more intense, he couldn't help but wave his hand to stop everyone's clamour, stepped forward and scolded: "Kong Sheng, blasphemy the emperor, you are really bold!" ”

Kong Sheng slowly lowered his head, stared at Li Shi and said lightly: "The king of Fengjie County has sharp teeth, and his ability to refer to deer as a horse is very impressive to Kong Sheng. The king of the county kept accusing Kong of blaspheming the emperor, where is the evidence? Today, in front of all the princes, if the prince of the county can't come up with evidence, even if you are the eldest son of the king of Chu, Kong will definitely not give up with you! ”

Li Shi sneered: "You even asked for evidence from someone?" You just arranged for the dancers to sing the so-called long hatred song in public, and the song is quite disrespectful to the emperor, which is obvious to all, do you still have to quibble? ”

Kong Sheng smiled loudly: "This long hatred song was composed by Kong Sheng in Jiangnan, which is really a true expression of concern for the country and the people, and there is absolutely no disrespect for the emperor." Later, His Majesty added an edict to comment on the imperial pen and spread all over the world, may I ask the king of Fengjie County, if you accuse Kong Sheng of blaspheming the emperor because of this, where will your majesty be placed today? And where do you put the people of the world? Could it be that everyone in the world has committed a felony of disrespecting the emperor? ”

Li Shi's face changed.

As soon as Kong Sheng's words came out, he immediately realized that he had made a great mistake, he forgot that Kong Sheng's long hatred song was originally handpicked by the emperor to spread all over the world, as evidence of Kong Sheng's crime, and the emperor could not escape his guilt - this is not whether Kong Sheng is disrespectful to the emperor, but that he, the emperor's grandson, is disrespectful to the current emperor!

The young Li Shi's face turned pale, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

Although he is also scheming and old, after all, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and compared with Kong Sheng, an "old Jianghu" who has been baptized by two lives, he is still too far behind.

With Kong Sheng's bickering, scheming, and Douchengfu methods, he is far from being an opponent.

At this time, Li Shi was in a dilemma, lifting a stone to hit himself in the foot, secretly regretting that he couldn't hold his breath, and accidentally fell into Kong Sheng's trap again and couldn't extricate himself.

Li Kuo coughed twice, and reluctantly smiled and played the round: "Poetry and words, everyone understands differently, Chang'an Hou, Fengjie County Wang Tianhuang is the current emperor and grandson, and he is eager to maintain the emperor's heart, it is inevitable that there will be some unscrupulous words, this is an unintentional loss, an unintentional loss." ”

Kong Sheng smiled lightly again: "Li Shangshu, from beginning to end, he is a crime that you want to add, and he is aggressive, how can Kong Sheng ever accuse the king of Fengjie County for half a sentence?" ”

Li Shi took the opportunity to step down, snorted coldly, and retreated with his sleeves.

Li Kuo also snorted, arched his hand to Kong Sheng, and no longer argued, and returned to his seat.

As a result, the atmosphere on the field became extremely delicate and dreary.

At this moment, a hoarse and majestic cold cheer suddenly came from outside the venue: "Kong Sheng, there may not be anything wrong with the song of long hatred itself, but you set up a banquet and pretended to sing, and every word pointed directly at the emperor, which is really his heart!" ”

Li Jiao, the king of Chu, was dressed in armor and a sword, and walked majestically. Behind him, he was followed by more than a dozen majestic soldiers.

Li Jiao actually came in person?!

Everyone, including Zhao Wang and Li, was taken aback. Kong Sheng glanced at Li Jiao with deep eyes, and sneered in his heart: After beating the small one, the old one is finally here!

Everyone stood up one after another to salute, and at the same time made way for Li Jiao.

The king of Chu is different from ordinary princes, the eldest son of the emperor and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, noble and in command of military power, with the world-famous meritorious service of recovering Chang'an to welcome the emperor back to the dynasty, and is the best candidate for the future prince of the East Palace. What is lacking is nothing more than the name of the prince.

In fact, Li Jiao came a long time ago, but at first he hid outside the crowd to watch the excitement. It was only later that he saw his eldest son Li Shi retreating in front of Kong Sheng, and the majesty of the Chu Palace's mansion was hit hard, so he couldn't hold it back and publicly revealed his figure.

Li Kui, these important ministers, hurriedly got up to salute Li Jiaoshi, and even the Li family, the king of Zhao, had to get up and bow with his face stretched: "The younger brother has seen Brother Chu Wang!" ”

Princess Ning Guo and Princess Ji Guo reluctantly got up and followed behind King Zhao and gave a salute.

Li Li looked at Li Department with a smile, and said lightly: "This king is busy with state affairs, and recently he has been training in the camp outside the city, preparing to welcome the emperor back to Chang'an, unlike the second brother and the two imperial sisters who are so leisurely, they are good all day long, gathering and drinking!" ”

The color of ridicule and disdain in Li Li's words is overflowing.

A trace of shame and anger flashed in the depths of Li Xi's eyes, but he was still calm as usual, and said: "The younger brother is a lazy body, with no position and power, no virtue and no ability, how can he be like Brother Chu Wang as a pillar of the country and take on a heavy responsibility!" Brother Wang said this, which made the younger brother very ashamed! ”

The corners of Li Jiao's mouth twitched: "Oh? The second brother said this, and he really couldn't listen to it. You and I are both the princes of His Majesty, the heavens are noble, and I should have been thinking about the **** thinking about the worries of my father and the emperor, and you indulged in the sound of dogs and horses, which really made the king sad. Since you know that you are immoral and incompetent, why complain about your lack of office and power? If you have half a point of growth, this king will also make a statement to his father and entrust you with a heavy responsibility! ”

Li didn't expect Li Jiao to say such ugly things in public, and he didn't save any face for himself, King Zhao. Li Xian's face was pale, but he still suppressed his anger, smiled reluctantly, hugged his fists and retreated, without having a face-to-face attack with the King of Chu.

But Princess Ji Guo was straightforward, and when she heard Li Jiao belittle her second brother like this, she couldn't get angry, so she said angrily: "Big brother, don't deceive people too much!" Compared with you, what the second brother lacks is not talent, not loyalty, but opportunity! ”

Kong Sheng listened to the words of Princess Ji Guo and secretly cheered. This girl seems to be simple-minded, but it's actually not simple. really got to the point, in terms of talent and conduct, the Li family may not be much worse than Li Li, what is lacking is nothing more than the opportunity given by the emperor. If the emperor had handed over the power of commanding the world's soldiers and horses to the Li family instead of Li Jiao, the status and power of the Li family today may not be bad!

"How can it be!" Li Jiao was furious, and then remembered that the occasion was not right at this moment, and several princes and princesses of his family would lose face in public if they turned their faces in public, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and snorted angrily.

Princess Ji Guo looked at Li Li without fear. She is a princess, the emperor's daughter, and she stands on the same level as Li Li in terms of blood, and she does not have all kinds of thoughts about fighting for power and profit, so she is not afraid of Li Li.

Princess Ning Guo tugged Ji Guo's arm and said in a low voice: "Ji Guo, don't talk nonsense, don't be disrespectful to the eldest brother!" (To be continued.) )
