Chapter 694: Cutting Your Dog's Head (1)

Li Biao hurriedly roared and burst in, shouting: "King of the county, Your Majesty has sent Feng Qi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, to arrive, he is in the palace of the Yang Envoy, and sent someone to send a message over, saying that he is asking the king of the county to come over the mansion to listen to His Majesty's edict!" ”

Wu Xian's face changed.

Kong Sheng is a dignified king of Jiangning County, and he was still a candidate of Chang'an before, and he was a high-ranking and powerful person in Chang'an, and no one dared to despise him. And in this place south of the Yangtze River, there is no one with a higher official rank and status than Kong Sheng, so Feng Qi dared to let Kong Sheng go to Yang Qi's mansion to listen to him announce the emperor's edict?

Although no one knows what the emperor's edict is. But Feng Qi's arrogant attitude undoubtedly also shows some problems - it is definitely not a good thing, if Kong Sheng gets the reward, can Feng Qiyan put on the score?

Thinking of the recent civil unrest and the rights and wrongs of Jiangnan, as well as the rumors of those wealthy families in Jiangnan joining forces to enter Beijing to sue the underworld, many people have realized the crux of the problem - Kong Sheng, the invincible king of Jiangning County, is about to fall? !

Wu Xian said angrily: "The king of the county, just a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, extremely presumptuous!" He dared to let the county king go to Yang Qi's mansion to listen to the edict, it was really arrogant! ”

The corners of Kong Sheng's mouth flashed a trace of indifference, his expression changed slightly, and he waved his hand and said: "Li Biao, you personally go to the Yang Envoy's Mansion and tell Feng Qi that this king is sick today and can't saddle his horse to make a tiring move, so let him come to the county king's mansion to announce the edict." ”

Kong Sheng Huo Ran got up and shouted coldly: "Come on, take the official robe, this king will change his clothes!" ”

Li Biao rushed to Yang Qi's mansion.

In the main hall of the Yang Mansion, Feng Qi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was smiling and talking with Yang Qi, Song Ning, Liu Pingshan and other local officials. It's just that Yang Qi and Liu Pingshan's expressions were slightly strange, and the two of them never expected that this Feng Qi would be so big that they would let Kong Sheng, a county king, go over to listen to the announcement.

This is enough to show from one side that Feng Qi came to announce an edict that was not conducive to Kong Sheng. And according to Yang Qi's judgment, I'm afraid that this time, Kong Sheng will be difficult to protect himself.

Liu Pingshan was a little panicked. He has already thrown himself into Kong Sheng, in case Kong Sheng is dismissed from office by the emperor or even bears greater responsibility, how can he be embarrassed in the future? How should we face Song Ning's stormy retaliation and suppression?

Song Ning had a smug smile on his face, and although he rarely interjected in Feng Qi's chattering speeches, anyone with a discerning eye could see the excitement in his heart.

He was silent for so long, operated behind the scenes for so long, and endured for so long, and finally waited for the day when Kong Sheng fell. If it weren't for Yang Qi's existence, I'm afraid he would have laughed out loud.

Song Ning didn't think that Kong Sheng could maintain his power with the personal participation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace. The Deqing civil unrest designed and promoted by him behind the scenes is an invisible trap, Kong Sheng has already been trapped little by little, and if he wants to get out of the whole body, how easy is it?

Li Biao strode into the hall.

Feng Qi's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Who is here?" Dare to trespass into Yang Yuanjun's mansion, in front of Ben Qincha and all the adults, how dare you be arrogant? ”

In fact, Feng Qi asked this question too much. He is a Beijing official, and he is one of the few Beijing officials of the core yamen, how can he not know Li Biao, one of the four fierce generals around Kong Sheng. Moreover, Li Biao was wearing the robe of General Xuanwei. He's just knowingly asking questions and making gestures.

Li Biao smiled coldly, hugged his fists and said: "Feng Shilang is really a noble person who forgets things, the general Li Biao, General Xuanwei under the command of the King of Kongjun, that day in Chang'an, Feng Shilang has asked to see the king of the county many times in front of the gate of Chang'an Houfu, and every time the general comes forward to receive him, but I don't think that I haven't seen him for a few days, and Feng Shilang doesn't know the general in person." ”

The corners of Feng Qi's mouth twitched: "It turned out to be General Li." It's been a long time! ”

Li Biao sneered: "Don't dare to be." Yang Zhijun, Feng Shilang, my county king said that he was in poor health and couldn't go through the palace to listen to the announcement, and asked Feng Shilang to move to the county king's mansion and announce His Majesty's edict! ”

Feng Qi Huoran got up and said coldly: "This official is His Majesty's Qincha, and he came to Jiangnan to announce the edict on the order of the emperor, this official represents the emperor this time, not the official himself, King Kong Jun resists and refuses, is this to resist and disobey?" ”

Li Biao's expression remained unchanged: "Feng Shilang is cautious!" My county king is not feeling well, if Feng Shilang refuses to go to the county king's mansion to announce the decree, then wait for my county king to raise him, and come to Yang Yuanjun's mansion to listen to the announcement in the future! ”

Li Biao left after speaking, and never said half a word of nonsense again.

Feng Qi's face changed, and the corners of his mouth became more and more indifferent and unwilling. He wanted to use the emperor's decree to suppress Kong Sheng and kill Kong Sheng's prestige, but Kong Sheng did not come, but asked him to give in.

Feng Qi knew that if Kong Sheng used physical discomfort as an excuse, he had nothing to do. But the emperor's edict, he can't drag it down - in fact, Feng Qi doesn't want to drag it out either, he can't wait to announce it as soon as possible and trample Kong Sheng under his feet.

He has no personal enmity with Kong Sheng, it is nothing more than because of the relationship between the crown prince Li Yu. As the backbone minister of Li Yutai's son-party department, Feng Qi naturally stood on the opposite side of Kong Sheng.

Feng Qi thought about it and weighed it for a moment, and finally looked around at everyone with a blue face: "Since King Kong Jun is unwell, Yang Envoy Jun, my lords, please go to the county king's mansion with this official to announce the emperor's edict!" ”

The Prince's Mansion.

Feng Qi held high the emperor's decree and said coldly: "Please ask King Kong Jun to bow down and accept the decree!" ”

Feng Qi's expression was arrogant, his sharp eyes were full of provocation and arrogance, he had never had such an opportunity to step on Kong Sheng's head, and now he could not let go of such an opportunity to suppress Kong Sheng and show off his might in front of Jiangnan officials.

Kong Sheng's expression was cold, he slowly took out the emperor's imperial gold medal from his arms, and said word by word: "This king has the imperial gold medal, even in front of His Majesty, Kong Sheng also has the right not to kneel." Feng Qi, you little waiter of the Ministry of Rites, how dare you pretend to be Your Majesty's holy decree to show off your might in front of this king?! ”

Feng Qi's heart suddenly.

Yang Qi and the others changed their faces, they all forgot that Kong Sheng was still carrying the gold medal of the emperor's assassination, and he could not kneel in front of him. Since the face gentleman does not kneel, there is no need to say that he will receive the order.

Song Ning sneered in his heart: "Kong Sheng, Kong Sheng, even if you have a royal gold medal, what can you do?" As soon as the decree is announced, you are finished! ”

Feng Qi's face was pale, but he couldn't fight Kong Sheng anymore, so he had to take a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Kong Sheng, the king of Jiangning County, Yang Qi and others from Jiangnan Province received the order——"

Feng Qi unhurriedly announced the emperor's stinky and long edict, which first expressed the great concern of the imperial court about the civil unrest in Jiangnan, and then used a lot of space to reprimand Kong Sheng for not being responsible for governing Jiangnan, and finally cut to the point, dismissing Kong Sheng's power to lead the two important military and political affairs in Jiangnan and Shannan, and asked Yang Qi to immediately lead the army to quell the rebellion, quell the civil unrest in Jiangnan, and restore the salt and water in Jiangnan.

Yang Qi sighed in his heart, relieved again.

Although Kong Sheng was not questioned by the emperor, he was robbed of military and political power. This means that Kong Sheng has become an idle county king, and he no longer has any power in Jiangnan. But this is a good thing for Yang Qi. And although Kong Sheng no longer has power, after all, he is still the respect of the county king, and Yang Qi has nothing to say to have a county king as the son-in-law of the Yang family.

In Yang Qi's opinion, this seems to be a very good result.

Liu Pingshan and others sank to the bottom of their hearts. The fears finally came true. Kong Sheng fell, and the so-called new land reform policies he promoted were all in vain, and those of them who took refuge in Kong Sheng and Song Ning obviously had no good fruits to eat in the future.

Song Ning was slightly disappointed. The emperor did not ask Kong Sheng for the crime, but only lightly recorded and seized the military and political power of Kong Sheng's commander-in-chief Jiangnan and Shannan. This means that the pattern of Jiangnan has returned to the original point before Kong Shenglai, and Yang Qi has returned to power.

Song Ning was angry in his heart, this trouble for a long time, and he actually cheapened Yang Qi, an old horseman!

But in any case, Kong Sheng eventually fell. In this struggle between the Song family and Kong Sheng, the Song family won and Kong Sheng was defeated. And next, Song Ning will take advantage of the situation to rise strongly, as for Kong Sheng, it is obvious that he has become yesterday's yellow flower.

Feng Qi sneered: "King Kongjun, take the order!" ”

Kong Sheng waved his hand, and Li Biao, who looked indignant, stepped forward to receive the holy decree with both hands.

For Li Biao and Li Hu, Kong Sheng's confidants and favorite generals, the emperor's edict this time is simply too inexplicable and unreasonable. How can the Deqing civil unrest be blamed on Kong Sheng's body?

Kong Sheng smiled indifferently and looked around at everyone: "Since the emperor has ordered me to stop meddling in the important military and political affairs of Jiangnan, Shannan and Nannan, then this king will no longer meddle in affairs." However, the king has led the army to quell the civil unrest, and the root of the civil unrest in Deqing has also been investigated by Shenlongwei, the evidence is conclusive, and the king ordered someone to report to the emperor urgently. ”

"There is a day when it will be clear at a glance and the truth will be revealed. And those lawbreakers and clowns who jump up and down in their backs will sooner or later show their original form. If this king finds out who is falsely accusing Kong behind his back, Kong will never be merciful. ”

Song Ning's heart jumped suddenly, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Alright, everyone, please! Drop-off! ”

Kong Sheng brushed his sleeves and walked away after speaking.

Li Biao sneered, and clasped his fists: "Please leave the county king's mansion, from today onwards, my county king will recuperate behind closed doors and will not see any outsiders!" ”

Feng Qi suddenly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty still has an edict to tell the king of Kong Jun!" ”

Kong Sheng stopped, slowly turned around and looked at Feng Qi coldly: "Kong Mou listens!" ”

"King Kongjun, you have done something wrong in Jiangnan, causing the resentment of the people in Jiangnan to boil, Your Majesty is already angry, and you will be summoned to Beijing to face the crime in a few days. Before this official came to Jiangnan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also had a few words for this official to bring to you——" Feng Qi said proudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince's dictation: Kong Sheng, you are arrogant, do not follow the court etiquette and law, and depose the Juntian Order in Jiangnan, it is really a self-inflicted ...... not to live!" ”

This may be Li Yu's original words, but no one has ever heard Li Yu say this in person. However, as a confidant of the East Palace, Feng Qi said this, naturally no one would doubt it. Moreover, Feng Qi was condescending and proud, and used a certain tone and posture that imitated Li Yu's speech to vent his extreme contempt for Kong Sheng.

This made Song Ning feel so happy that he almost laughed out loud on the spot.

Kong Sheng couldn't help but laugh, but his smile was very indifferent.

He suddenly burst into a shout: "Feng Qi, you dare to falsely spread the word of Your Majesty and the crown prince, and speak disrespectfully to this king!" Come, take the sword of this king, wait for this king to cut off the head of this dog, and then ask Your Majesty for guilt! ”
