Chapter 362: Debut on Stage (3)

Kong Sheng raised his hand on the horse, and Fang Tian's halberd was projected to the ground with a whizz, trembling into the ground, shaking and making a slight buzzing sound.

Most of the nobles of the literati present looked at Kong Sheng's posture, either shocked or envious, complicated or jealous or pretending to be contemptuous; And all the people who were born as military generals were staring at Kong Sheng's mount with an extremely greedy look chasing the wind.

Such a miracle horse is better than those big and good horses owned by the emperor. Kong Sheng's weapons and mounts are all rare treasures in the world, and they are hard to buy, how can they not be jealous and killed!

Kong Sheng jumped off the horse and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Kong Sheng set up a banquet in Qujiangchi today, thank you for enjoying the light!" Come on, serve wine! ”

Zhao Guangran took a group of servants from the Marquis of Chang'an's Mansion out of the list, shuttled back and forth, and placed a pot of free liquor on each table.

At the same time, Kong Sheng walked calmly to his seat, as the master, the seat was placed on the side of King Zhao Li and Princess Ningguo and Princess Jiguo.

Li Shi glanced at Li Guo beside him.

Li Guo froze down, and suddenly got up and shouted: "Chang'an Hou, you set up a banquet to invite the princes, princesses, and princesses of the Manchu Dynasty and the clan, but you galloped and danced the murder weapon on the banquet, what is your intention?" Show off your strength in public, and your heart can be punished! ”

The corner of Li Kui's mouth twitched slightly, and his face became a little ugly.

His son was once again used as a pawn by the Chu Palace, and he attacked Kong Sheng in public, which made him very dissatisfied in his heart. and helpless about the ignorance and stupidity of his son.

What a pathetic two-pole. Li Shi let him jump out, and he jumped out stupidly. Give Li a proper gun, it's okay to say that if you stab in the wrong place, it will be Li Dashangshu who will be embarrassed!

But as a confidant of the King of Chu, as a hardcore, he must have the consciousness of being a pawn. Li Kuo hung his head helplessly.

Du Hongjian and the others glanced at Li Yu with a smile, and they all looked at Kong Sheng, but they were waiting to see how Kong Sheng responded.

More than 70 percent of the Chinese military ministers of the DPRK directly or semi-openly expressed support for Li Li, the king of Chu. But the only ones who can really be regarded as Li Li's hardcore are Li Kui and others. Like Du Hongji, who only supports behind him, is far from jumping out to shout for the Chu Palace.

Therefore, for the king of Chu, some of these people in the court are slaves who can be driven at will, but some can only win over and maintain a good relationship with friends, so that they can play a major role in the future.

Of course, Li Guo's attack was not groundless, Kong Sheng was suspected of showing off his strength just now, and many people felt very uncomfortable in their hearts while being shocked.

Especially Du Hongji, who was already a little resistant to the generals, couldn't look at it - what do you mean by Kong Sheng. Riding horses and dancing halberds in public, who to scare?

Kong Sheng stopped. He turned around slowly, a trace of a sneer flashed across the corners of his mouth, and he smiled faintly at Li Guo: "Li Gongzi said that Kong Sheng had ill-intentioned intentions and deliberately showed off his strength—then forget it, but it must be stated that I was forced out by someone." ”

"There are rumors that Kong deceived the world and stole his name, rumors confuse the public, and some people even say that Kong embezzled the military exploits of his soldiers, and he was not allowed to fight in battle or kill rebels...... Kong Sheng was forced to be helpless, so he had to do it himself to set the record straight! Just like that day in the Jinluan Palace, with His Majesty in person, Kong Sheng had to raise a tribute in public to show everything...... If Li Gongzi still has any doubts, he can ask Lord Li Shangshu Lingzun. ”

Kong Sheng smiled loudly and said in a deep voice: "This Fang Tian painting halberd in Kong's hand weighs hundreds of catties, and after dozens of battles, the rebel generals have killed dozens of people such as Fox Chao, Yang Chaozong, and Yin Ziqi under this Fang Tian halberd!" ”

"Since Kong went to Henan from Jiangnan, he has been at war with thieves for more than a year, and he has been working hard for the country and the court for a day, recruiting troops in Xiayi, defending the pure land and pacifying the people, and developing into tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with hundreds of cavalry! Take Yongqiu, break Ningling, attack Suiyang Canal, soldiers in Xingyang, break Bianzhou, all the way to the west, conquer many prefectures and counties, recover the eastern capital Luoyang, with tens of thousands of Xiayi military horses across the entire Henan battlefield, the rebels surrendered, Kong did not dare to say that the war achievements were outstanding, but dared to say that the heart of the fist to serve the country can be expressed every day! ”

"In Kong's opinion, this is a weapon to protect the country loyally, but you say that it is a murder weapon - Li Gongzi, what are your real intentions?"

Li Guo was speechless by Kong Sheng's impassioned words, and his face turned red. In fact, Kong Sheng's rebuttal is a bit of a "strong word", but Li Guo can't refute it at all. Unreasonable, the momentum alone was suppressed by Kong Sheng, and he couldn't rebound at all.

Seeing that the chief official's son was choked by Kong Sheng, Ma Ping, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help but say loudly: "Chang'an Hou, although you have made great contributions to the imperial court, but Your Majesty has already been favored, and you have sealed Chang'an Hou at the age of a weak crown, what are you going to do?" This official advises you to know how to advance and retreat, and don't be arrogant! ”

Kong Sheng is determined to spit out all kinds of evil spirits in the past today, how can he still remain silent, he turned his head to look at Ma Ping, and said awe-inspiringly: "Kong is arrogant?!" Kong doesn't know how to advance or retreat?! What a joke! An Qingxu's puppet Yan court was driven out of Luoyang City by Kong at that time, and fled northward, Kong's army hoarded Luoyang, continued to enter Chang'an, welcomed His Majesty back to the court, and established immortal achievements, which was a matter of a snap of a finger! If Kong didn't know how to advance or retreat, he would have taken the lead in leading the army into Chang'an! ”

Kong Sheng sneered, and his voice shook the audience: "Kong Sheng went to the country from Jiangnan, without the slightest selfishness to win fame and fortune, Kong Sheng led the army to stick to Luoyang, retired after success, entered Chang'an alone, handed over all the military power, and lived in Chang'an City with an idle Chang'an waiting, no quarrel with others, but on weekdays he just brewed wine, wrote books, and entertained himself, but you said that you don't know how to advance or retreat?!" ”

Kong Sheng's voice became extremely angry, he glared at Ma Ping angrily, and took two steps forward: "Ma Shilang, are you really a weak and bullying young child when Kong Mou?" ”

Ma Ping's face turned red and gritted his teeth, and he was speechless when Kong Sheng refuted. He actually took a half-step back in fear, and sat back with his head down.

In fact, most of the people present were speechless. Although Kong Sheng's words sound aggressive, they are all the truth, if Kong Sheng really does not know how to advance and retreat, I am afraid that the world-famous achievements of recovering Chang'an will not have anything to do with Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and Li Jiao, the king of Chu.

If Kong Sheng was really unwilling to hand over the military power, the emperor would not be able to force him. After all, the counterinsurgency of the imperial court has not yet ended, and it is still the time to employ people.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that the young man in front of them, who looked polite and polite, had been dormant in Chang'an, who had been living in the Hou Mansion, was far less calm and weak than he had shown in the past!

From beyond his words, an invisible anger and resentment rose to the sky!

Even Zhao Wang Li was a little stunned: After a long time, today is a Hongmen banquet for Kong Sheng to vent his grievances?

Princess Ningguo's pretty face was slightly red, staring at Kong Sheng, and secretly said in her heart: It turns out that he has a lot of complaints about the cold reception of his father and the imperial court, and he usually accumulates it, and it has all exploded today!

Kong Sheng turned around and returned as if nothing had happened. Today's outbreak, in fact, is mostly a performance, and it is not for the powerful bureaucrats in front of them, but for the emperor Li Heng who is far away in the palace.

Ahem, ahem!

Li Shi, the eldest son of the King of Chu, who was sitting in the first row, cleared his throat and got up slowly, he knew that he had to come forward to shout at Kong Sheng, otherwise, Kong Sheng's prestige today would inevitably rise to the top, as far as the Chu Palace's side was concerned, if there was no reaction at all, it would really be impossible to say.

Moreover, Kong Sheng's "self-proof of innocence" has hurt the prestige of Li Jiao, the king of Chu, and Li Shi, as the eldest son of the king of Chu, cannot attack it, even in front of his father, he can't explain the past.

"Chang'an, please wait!" Li Shi's voice came.

A smile without a trace appeared on the corner of Kong Sheng's mouth, he had been waiting for Li Shi's rebound for a long time. Today's performance, most of it is directed at Li Shi, if Li Shi continues to remain silent, Kong Sheng will have no way to direct.

Kong Sheng arched his hand and said with a slight smile: "King Fengjie, what do you have to say?" ”

The king of Fengjie? Everyone was shocked, and Li Shi was even more shocked, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he frowned and looked at Kong Sheng.

He is Li Jiao's eldest son, but he is not a concubine but a concubine. Therefore, he was not the first of Li Li's sons to be crowned the king of the county. And the emperor sent someone to the palace of the king of Chu last night to summon him and canonize him as the king of Fengjie County, Li Shi was overjoyed. Because of some obscure relationship and the deliberate cover-up of the King of Chu, the news has not yet spread, but how did Kong Sheng know?

Kong Sheng's expression was calm. According to the normal trajectory of history, the person in front of him was originally the ninth emperor of the future Tang Dynasty, Emperor Dezong of Tang. And his father, Li Jiao, the king of Chu, is the eighth emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Facing the two generations of future emperors of this father and son was not what Kong Sheng wanted. It's just that Li Jiao's father and son have been using strong authority to force too much, Kong Sheng is not a person who sits idly by, since he can't get along amicably, then let's fight, Kong Sheng can't let others slaughter and become fat on someone else's board.

What's more, there is a shadow of the emperor behind this. The emperor was obviously suspicious of his eldest son, who had made great achievements. He tried to cultivate and excavate an antithesis of the king of Chu among the courtiers who were on the one side of the king of Chu, and this was arranged long before Kong Sheng entered Beijing.

I can't say, the "grudge entanglement" between Kong Sheng and the King of Chu is behind the emperor's invisible inducement and intervention. Kong Sheng knew this, but he pretended not to understand anything.

He didn't care which son the emperor wanted to pass the throne to, and this kind of dirty matter of the royal family's seizure of power had nothing to do with him; All he cares about is the foundation of his own life, and if the emperor wants to use him as a gun, he will have to pay a corresponding price.
