Kong Sheng walked slowly and entered the main hall of the post house.

Li Fuguo sat on a gorgeous soft couch, beside him were two little eunuchs who served him, and two personal guards he brought from Lingwu, both of whom were palace guards wearing the armor of the forbidden army, with a majestic, majestic, and unruly posture.

Kong Sheng's clear and calm gaze swept over Li Fuguo's ugly face, suppressed all kinds of hatred in his heart, looked solemn, bowed down and bowed: "Xiaguan Kong Sheng, I have seen Lord Qincha!" ”

Li Fuguo laughed: "Kong Sheng, the national crisis is at the head, the imperial court has a clear order to let you go to work immediately, why don't you go to Henan Road to take up your post at the moment, and go to the post house to do it?" ”

Li Fuguo asked knowingly.

Kong Sheng smiled slightly: "If you go back to Lord Qincha, Kong Sheng will not dare to slack off, and has decided to leave Jiangnan early tomorrow morning to take up his post, so I have come to resign to Lord Qincha today." The adults came to Jiangnan thousands of miles away to announce their fate, and they were kind to Kong Sheng, Kong Sheng had nothing to repay, and I hope that the adults will not dislike it with a little courtesy! ”

As he spoke, Kong Sheng took out two vouchers for the money number of 100 yuan and handed them to one of Li Fuguo's personal little eunuchs.

Kong Sheng gave gifts so directly, without even saying the least kind words, the little eunuch glanced at the voucher with some curiosity and disdain, and didn't take it too seriously, because these days there is an endless stream of gifts from officials, businessmen, and rich gentry in Jiangning City, which one is not a whole box of gold and silver silk treasures and antiques? In front of him, this down-and-out son who was lucky enough to get an official position and had no fixed place to live, what could he come up with that would make Li Fuguo look good? There are only two vouchers, which shows the shabby nature of this little guy.

The little eunuch handed it over, Li Fuguo glanced at it, and saw that it turned out to be a voucher of two hundred yuan, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a little surprised. In this year, two hundred yuan is a lot of money, and it is not something that ordinary people can get. Kong Sheng's ability to make a move was two hundred yuan, which Li Fuguo couldn't think of at all.

Of course, this is nothing compared to the gifts given by Zhou An, the head of the Yixing Zhou family, and others are often worth more than 100,000 yuan.

Li Fuguo's little eyes rolled and narrowed. When he thinks about problems, or when he makes all kinds of gloomy calculations, his eyes will squint, which is a subconscious physical habit of his.

Li Fuguo was not moved by the mere two hundred yuan, but was surprised by where Kong Sheng got so much money, is the rumor false?

Li Fuguo can become a traitor who left a strong mark in the history of the Tang Dynasty and is infamous through the ages, and naturally has his "outstandingness". How can you turn the clouds and rain without two brushes, and how can you control the power of the Tang Dynasty and control the government for many years? Li Fuguo's power is sky-high, compared to Yang Guozhong and even Li Linfu earlier.

Li Fuguo narrowed his small eyes and smiled indifferently: "Kong Sheng, I heard that your family is in the middle of the road and has long been penniless, and has been reduced to taking refuge in the inn for a living, and even the ancestral house has been sold, how did you get this money?" Besides, you came to give gifts to miscellaneous families for no reason, Huangkou Ruzi, what are your intentions?! ”

The second half of Li Fuguo's words suddenly raised his voice an octave, and he became a loud voice, as a eunuch, his voice was already as sharp as a duck's voice, and this sudden rise made it even more harsh.

If it was an ordinary young scholar, he would definitely be bluffed by Li Fuguo, not only would the money be given away for nothing, but he might also be tricked and humiliated in a panic. But what kind of person is Kong Sheng, Li Fuguo's small means, he can see through it at a glance. I don't want to owe favors after receiving money, and I want to erect an archway when I am **, and the shameless cunning of this thief can be seen.

Kong Sheng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "If you go back to Lord Qincha, Kong Sheng sold the ancestral house before and got 300 yuan. In addition to daily use and leaving the necessary entanglements, these two hundred yuan are all Kong Sheng's current family wealth. ”

Kong Sheng said calmly, but when he heard it in Li Fuguo's ears, it was like thunder. There are many people who give gifts and climb power, but all the people who give gifts, I am afraid that there is only Kong Sheng in this Jiangning City.

Two hundred is not much, but it is as heavy as a mountain to use all of a person's wealth as a commentary. Kong Sheng "went straight to the point", no matter how cunning and brazen Li Fuguo was, he was also temporary.

Li Fuguo's face changed slightly, he slowly got up, stared at Kong Sheng deeply, his eyes flickered for a long time, and only then did a smile appear on his ugly face: "Kong Sheng, you are very good." The miscellaneous family is not short of money, nor does it love money, just two hundred yuan, the miscellaneous family really doesn't pay attention to it, but your sincerity, the miscellaneous family is in mind. ”

"Sure enough, it is extraordinary, worthy of being a heroic young man personally recommended by Guo Fenyang and Mr. Li Mi. Kong Sheng, since you are sincere to the miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family may wish to show you a clear way. ”

Kong Sheng's heart moved when he heard this: It was not only Guo Ziyi who recommended himself to the imperial court, but also Li Yu? This Li Mi ......

Li Mi is a very important figure at this historical juncture, and in the chaotic current situation and power struggle, he flies through the clouds and drifts away. Of course, Kong Sheng knew about Li Mi's existence, but he could get Li Mi's recommendation, but he never thought of it.

Kong Sheng froze, "Please advise Lord Qincha!" ”

Li Fuguo looked at the refreshed young man in front of him, and for a while he had a little love for talent, he strode over and smiled at Kong Sheng: "Kong Sheng, actually, it doesn't matter if you don't go to Henan Road, the rebels are in charge, what good fruit do you have to eat when you go there?" It's better to stay for a while and return to the court with the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family will ask His Majesty for his life, and give you an idle official position to get promoted. Miscellaneous people think, with your literary talent, it will be easy to stand out in the future. ”

Li Fuguo patted his chest, smiling rather than smiling: "There are miscellaneous families, are you still worried that there is no way out?" ”

As a court traitor, this may be one of the few times in Li Fuguo's life when kindness occurs. He did have a good intention, and it can be regarded as pointing out another way out for Kong Sheng - not to take up a post in Henan Province, but to follow Li Fuguo back to Lingwu, with Li Fuguo's recommendation, it should not be a problem to get an official position again.

But Kong Shengyi could not be in the company of traitors like Li Fuguo and become his slave in captivity. If it is branded as the brand of Li Fuguo's party, it will be difficult to change in this life; Second, if the determination has been made, how can it be reversed. Life is like penance, you need to be able to reach it without a future, and the morning Qin and Duchu can only break the rock-solid ideological foundation.

Moreover, if the imperial court canonized and did not take office, no matter if there is a big reason, after all, it leaves people with the excuse of greed for life and fear of death, if they are caught by some lonely ministers in the court, this basin of sewage may not be washed away for a lifetime. Kong Sheng could not take such a risk.

People like Li Fuguo are not reliable, he agreed to recommend it on a whim today, but who knows if he will change his mind later. Pinning one's future and destiny on people like Li Fuguo is even more unreliable.
