Chapter 617: The Crown Princess

After all, Dugu Ying is an important minister of the court, and he is the father-in-law of the prince, although Kong Sheng is not on good terms with the East Palace, but on the surface, he has to maintain basic etiquette and demeanor, since Dugu Ying personally came to the door, he can only welcome out of the central hall to show respect for the ministers of the court.

In the court, the head of the household is a remarkable position.

Dugu Ying controls the economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty, and is worth all the money, grain, logistics, and heavy affairs, and can be regarded as the real power faction in the prince-party-line of the East Palace. And since the emperor is still willing to let Dugu Ying control the household department, especially on the basis of suspicion of the prince's family, it can only show that the Dugu clan must be outstanding. At least in terms of the financial operation of the Tang Dynasty, there is no one in the court for the time being.

Kong Sheng and Dugu Ying usually have no contact, only a few faces, and they only meet quasi-strangers in the court.

Kong Sheng slowly walked a few steps forward, as the king of the county, it was not rude for him to greet him out of the middle hall like this, after all, Dugu Ying's rank was below him.

Dugu Ying's face is like a crown of jade, a wisp of black beard under the jaw, a slender figure, a straight waist, elegant temperament, and graceful demeanor, belonging to the type of Fengyi among the Tang Dynasty Wenchen. When this person saw Kong Sheng coming out to greet him, he smiled and said, "Xiaguan Dugu Ying meets the king of the county!" ”

Kong Sheng smiled, nodded slightly, and said: "Lord Dugu can be regarded as a rare guest, a dignified household book, the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty, coming to the cold house, it really makes Kong Peng shine." ”

Dugu Ying was embarrassed: "How dare Dugu dare to say this?" ”

Kong Sheng smiled, and was not ready to let Dugu Ying enter the hall to wait for tea, so he stood in the courtyard straightforwardly and said lightly: "I don't know if Lord Dugu comes to me, what advice does he have?" ”

Dugu Ying's eyes flashed with a complex luster, and he bowed deeply: "King of the county, since the beating of His Royal Highness the Prince's Lishan line, the little girl has returned to live in the lower official mansion, and she has thought about it behind closed doors every day, and never shows her face. ”

Kong Sheng sighed, indifferent. He said in his heart that your daughter is the wife of the prince, and the prince was imprisoned by the emperor in Lishan, and it is wise for her to hide in her mother's house and think about it behind closed doors - but what does this have to do with me? Love what's the matter, Kong doesn't care about such idle things!

"This time the prince was punished by His Majesty, and the little girl was also very vigilant, thinking about her own mistakes every day, and praying for the prince and His Majesty from time to time." Dugu Ying spoke eloquently, her voice was not hurried, like a spring breeze. This person has a very temperament and demeanor, although he stands in different camps and holds different political positions, he still makes Kong Sheng secretly appreciate.

Kong Sheng was silent, quietly waiting for Dugu Ying's next words. He didn't believe it, Dugu took the liberty to come to the door just to tell him this nonsense that was not nutritious.

"The king of the county is a genius from heaven, and he has made meritorious contributions to my Tang Dynasty. Both civil and military, Wen Ke Anbang, Wu can determine the country, including Xia Guan, most people in the DPRK and China are actually admired...... And for the county king's literary brilliance, the little girl admired it in private, if it weren't for the identity limit, she would have already had the heart to go out of the palace to worship the county king as a teacher, and learn poetry and songs. Dugu Ying smiled slightly: "These days, the little girl is quiet in self-cultivation, and she entertains herself with poetry and painting, and when she encounters some problems, she asks her subordinates to come to the door and want to ask the county king for advice or two, I don't know if the county king can give advice?" ”

Kong Sheng smiled faintly: "Kong is a shallow learner, where can he dare to be the teacher of the crown princess." Kong Mou has heard that the lonely adult is the champion and the first in the Tianbao years, the leader of the literary world, and the world is famous, and the crown princess does not obey such famous teachers as Lord Dugu, and puts the cart before the horse, which makes Kong strange and tight. ”

"Besides, Kong has no contact with the crown princess or even Lord Dugu on weekdays, and the adult suddenly came to the door - why don't we open the skylight and say something bright, Lord Dugu, Kong is entangled in affairs, and there is not much time to consume, what advice does the princess have, please tell me directly."

Kong Sheng didn't want to say any more useless nonsense, so he directly pierced the layer of window paper that didn't have to exist.

Dugu Ying's face was slightly embarrassed and complicated, the corners of his mouth twitched, and after hesitating for a moment, he said softly: "Since the county king is so straightforward, then the lower official will also be outspoken." There is no suspicion between the king of the county and the prince, but because of many misunderstandings, the water and fire are incompatible, the king of the county is the minister of the pillar of my Tang humerus, and the prince is the prince of the country. ”

"The little girl is the crown princess, and she is willing to make peace to the prince on behalf of His Royal Highness the prince. If the king of the county is willing to appreciate his face, he might as well come to the lower official mansion and allow the official's father and daughter to put a glass of wine. ”

Dugu Ying's expression actually showed a bit of sincerity.

The corners of Kong Sheng's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that this Duguying father and daughter would take the initiative to come to the door to show favor to him, claiming that they wanted to laugh at their enmity, which was simply ridiculous.

Kong Sheng looked at Dugu Ying with a smile and said, "Lord Dugu, Kong and the East Palace have no grievances, so what are you talking about?" Lord Dugu can also know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regards Kong as hostile? ”

Dugu Ying sighed lightly: "The county king, the father and daughter of the lower officials are sincere, and they have no heart, and I ask the county king to be considerate." No matter what happened in the past, wouldn't it be nice for the lower officials to think that the prince of the county and the prince had no conflict of interest, and they would work hand in hand to assist His Majesty in restoring the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty? ”

Kong Sheng smiled: "If the prince can sit in the East Palace calmly, Kong and the East Palace will be safe, I believe Lord Dugu will be clear about this." And Kong Mou is a person, it has always been that people don't offend me, I don't offend people, there is no need to resolve any grievances, if the prince is no longer hostile to Kong in the future, Kong will never go against the East Palace again. I also asked Lord Dugu to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that Kong Sheng didn't want to be an enemy of anyone from beginning to end. ”

"If there is no side matter, Kong will not be accompanied, Lord Dugu, please do it!"

Kong Sheng gave up the guests.

Speaking of which, Kong Sheng probably understood that Dugu Ying must have been hinted or commissioned by Li Yu to try to ease relations with him in the name of the crown princess. From Li Yu's point of view, this is also reasonable, he was suppressed by the emperor's seclusion, and the East Palace family is almost scattered, in order to alleviate the decline and Xu Tu's future comeback, it is normal for Li Yu to have this consideration.

To ease relations with Kong Sheng, one can show the world the elegance of the prince, and the other can show the emperor the sincerity of the prince's sincere repentance. This should be the key to Li Yu's entrustment of Duguying's father and daughter.

But how could Kong Sheng become a tool used by the crown prince Li Yu.

But what Kong Sheng didn't expect was that the persistence of Duguying's father and daughter was really speechless. After Dugu Ying left the Confucian Mansion, early the next morning, the dignified princess Dugu came to the door in person.

Kong Sheng got up in the morning and washed up, so he practiced his sword in the courtyard, which was considered a morning exercise. Although he had already set a plan to leave Chang'an and return to his hometown, he really wanted to go, and without the emperor's edict, he still couldn't go. Obviously, before the marriage agreement with the Hui princess Guyun, the emperor will not let him leave Chang'an.

A guard appeared at the arch of Kong Sheng's single courtyard with a complicated expression, bowed down and said respectfully: "The prince of the county, the crown princess asks to see!" ”

Kong Sheng's brows jumped suddenly, he looked up at the young soldier, and said in a deep voice: "Crown princess? ”

"Yes, the county king, the crown princess has arrived, and she has arrived at the gate of the mansion!" The military man whispered.

Kong Sheng took a deep breath, feeling a little irritable. He really didn't want to contact Li Yu or Li Yu's family, but after all, the Dugu family was a respected crown princess, and since he was here, he couldn't help but see him.

Kong Sheng settled down, immediately went back to the room to change clothes, and then led someone out of the house. (To be continued.) )
