Chapter 605: The Cool Dog Jumping Over the Wall (2)

Kong Sheng and Li Ji greeted each other while walking towards the flower hall of the Hou Mansion, and the sisters Ji Guo and Ning Guo followed each other quietly and did not say much. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It's just that Ji Guo's gaze on Kong Sheng's elegant back is affectionate and does not hide it, while Ning Guo is much more subtle, just a little concerned and hurriedly looked away.

The four of them sat down in the hall, and while Li and Ning Guo Ji Guo were tasting the green tea that Kong Sheng had here that was completely different from the current time, they inadvertently led the topic to what happened in the hall.

But the three have different focuses.

The Li family was concerned about how Kong Sheng would be able to make a comeback after he became a vassal of Jiangning, return to the Gyeonggi power field again, gain the emperor's trust again, and regain power.

Ji Guo is concerned about what kind of entanglement there is between Kong Sheng and the princess Gu Yun, and he actually made such a joke, and the princess did not hesitate to force each other to die to wash away the so-called innocence. Ji Guo has always wondered what Kong Sheng did to Gu Yun excessively and out of line, which caused the woman to rebound so fiercely this time.

And Ning Guo felt a faint sadness about Kong Sheng's imminent departure.

After this westward journey, Ning Guo's inexplicable feelings for Kong Sheng in his heart are like weeds in spring, wildfires cannot be extinguished, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. It's like cutting a crazy leek, cutting one stubble and another stubble. Endless, hysterical, difficult to restrain.

Regarding the question of the Li family, Kong Sheng smiled and said nothing. As for Ji Guo's outspokenness, he couldn't explain it, seeing that he was a little vague, Ji Guo was obviously dissatisfied, and pouted: "Kong Sheng, shouldn't you really do anything unsightly to that princess?" ”

Kong Sheng hadn't opened his mouth to answer, but Ning Guo on the side subconsciously said loudly and indignantly: "There is no such thing, that Hui Su woman is completely bloody and made out of nothing!" ”

Ji Guo sighed, turned his head to look at his sister: "Why did Sister Ning Guo say this?" I don't think that princess is lying, otherwise why would she commit suicide by hitting the pillar on the spot and forcing her to die? ”

Ning Guoqiao's face suddenly turned crimson, and she said in her heart that this palace took the initiative to throw herself into her arms and hug this Kong Sheng is like a wooden man, how could he risk being punished by the Nine Clans to flirt with a Hui woman who looked vulgar in Ning Guo?! Ning Guo's words in his heart almost blurted out, and he was startled in his heart.

Seeing that Ning Guo suddenly turned red for some reason, Ji Guo was a little suspicious, she looked at Ning Guo seriously and said, "Sister Huang, what's wrong with you?" Why do you blush? ”

Ning Guo froze, coughed dryly, and said seriously: "Sister Ji Guo, this time the woman has ulterior motives, can't you see it?" Her real purpose is to rescue the Khan, this is just a means for her, can't you see it? ”

Ji Guo shook his head: "I see that she is angry and angry, and she doesn't care about life and death, it's not like a fake." ”

Ning Guo was a little helpless, and frowned: "Sister Ji Guo, could it be that Kong Sheng's is known to the world-is he like the kind of person who is greedy for women?" There are beautiful women in the capital, and it is just an ordinary thing for the dignitaries and nobles in the city to sing, dance, drink, feast, and prostitute fun, but Kong Sheng has never set foot in the land of fireworks, don't you know? ”

Kong Sheng does have a clear reputation for never prostituting, which is well-known among the courtiers of Chang'an, and Ji Guo naturally knows it. But she didn't suspect that Kong Sheng's character was at a loss, but that he suspected that he had something to do with that princess.

Seeing that the two girls were almost arguing over Kong Sheng, Li was a little embarrassed, couldn't help but clear his throat, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, two imperial sisters, there is a reason for this matter, even if Kong Sheng is a womanizer, he will definitely not get involved with Princess Hui." This must be a conspiracy of the Hui people, you don't have to fight, it's useless to talk about it! ”

Kong Sheng rubbed his hands and said with a wry smile: "Princess, Kong has already said that I and the princess are just one or two sides, and when the two armies are facing each other, how can I be selfish?" The so-called entanglement was just a test of riding and archery that day, and there was a slight physical contact in the fight, but the customs of the Hui people were quite strange, and they had to fight a duel to the death because of this, which was really strange and unreasonable. ”

Ji Guo pursed her lips, she still thought that Kong Sheng's so-called physical contact was anything but ordinary, otherwise how could a princess of Hui ignore her innocent reputation and have to be falsely accused of being humiliated by Kong Sheng?

She is more inclined to think that Kong Sheng has a personal affair with the princess of Su, but for some reason, the two fell out and became enemies.

At this time, the soldiers came to report: "Lord Wang, Li Mi and Li Xiang are visiting!" ”

Li Mi? Kong Sheng was surprised, and said in his heart, what is he doing here?

Kong Sheng nodded to Li and got up to greet him. After all, Li Yu is the minister of the dynasty, one of the two major ministers relied on by the emperor, and he can be regarded as the head of the Qingliu famous ministers respected by Kong Sheng.

Li Ji and Ning Guo Ji Guo did not evade, and continued to talk in the flower hall until Li Yu came in.

Seeing that the two daughters of Li Department and Ji Guo and Ning Guo were present, Li Mi was a little surprised, so he hurried to salute.

Li Department waved his hand and said: "Li Xiang, you don't have to be polite, this king and the two imperial sisters came to Kong Sheng to catch up, if you have a private matter, this king and others can avoid it for the time being." ”

Li Mi chuckled: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, the old man is here, entrusted by His Majesty, to be a matchmaker for the King of Jiangning County." ”

Li was taken aback, and Kong Sheng looked up in amazement.

Ji Guo's face changed suddenly, Huo Ran got up and said loudly: "Li Xiang, what do you mean by this?" Matchmaking? What kind of matchmaker? ”

Ning Guoye frowned slightly, staring at Li Mi, waiting for Li Mi's answer.

"Your Majesty thinks that the relationship between the king of Jiangning and the princess of Huisu is just a misunderstanding, but the custom of the Huifu people is true, unless the king of the county can marry her, otherwise they will meet each other in life and death. In order to resolve the grievances between the two, and seeing that the princess was as beautiful as a flower, His Majesty intended to marry the king of Jiangning County, which can be regarded as a marriage and the icing on the cake for the century-old friendship between my Datang and Hui Hui. Li Mi said word by word.

Kong Sheng opened his mouth, he was shocked for a while, and he didn't know what to say, why did the emperor suddenly mess up the mandarin duck spectrum again? Give him the princess to marry? Isn't this a mess of playing the harp? He and the princess Gu Yun are rivals, and they have never gotten along well from beginning to end, how can two people who are so needle-to-heart live together?

Princess Kikoku's shrill voice was slightly complicated: "No! How can this be? Absolutely not! ”

Li Mi frowned, and said with a smile: "Ask the princess, how can you not do it?" His Majesty has already canonized the granddaughter of King Shou as a princess, and his pro-Ye Hu Khan, and if Princess Hui marries the king of my dynasty, wouldn't it be another good thing? This is a sign of the renewal of our covenant with the Uighurs. ”

Princess Ji Guo was so embarrassed that she stomped her foot hard, and said coquettishly: "Li Xiang, Kong Sheng already has a fiancée......"

She almost said that Kong Sheng didn't even want me, the princess of the dynasty, and could he still want a Hui woman? In other words, even I didn't have a full moon with Kong Sheng, she is a vulgar Mobei Hui woman, why?!

King Zhao Li was also shocked, he never expected that the emperor would give the princess to Kong Sheng in marriage...... What did he think, O father? It's not that he doesn't know Kong Sheng's temper, does he want Kong Sheng to have a farce of resisting marriage again?

But he can't express his stance on this matter, and he can't talk nonsense, after all, it is still the emperor's will, and as a prince, he can't disobey the emperor's will.

Li Department set his eyes on Kong Sheng, and he couldn't help but be a little worried. Ning Guo's mentality was basically similar to that of the Li family, and she was worried, she almost decided that Kong Sheng would definitely rebound as before-in fact, he had already proposed to the emperor to return to Jiangning's hometown and marry his fiancée Yang Daughter, and the emperor would marry Princess Hui at this time, how could he accept it?

But...... The majesty of his father is inviolable, if Kong Sheng resists the will and marries again, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The emperor can forgive him once and tolerate him once, but it is impossible to tolerate Kong Sheng's second rebellion against marriage. Otherwise, where is the authority of the Tang Emperor? In front of the Hui people, how should the emperor explain?

Ning Guo sighed faintly, turned his head to look at Kong Sheng, his eyes were as anxious as water.

Kong Sheng frowned and said softly: "Li Xiang, this marriage is too abrupt, Your Majesty is like this, isn't it difficult for a strong man?" ”

"Don't say that Kong has a fiancée room, Your Majesty and almost everyone in Chang'an City knows about it, in such a situation, Your Majesty still wants to give marriage, this is to force Kong to ......"

"The king of the county is cautious!" Li Mi hurriedly interrupted Kong Sheng's words: "Don't hide it from the king of the county, this is the old man and Du Xiang's suggestion, Your Majesty is reluctant to make it difficult, and I also know that the king of the county must resist, so I ordered the old man to come and be a lobbyist." ”

Kong Sheng frowned: "Li Xiang, Kong Mou has always respected you, but in this matter, Hugh blames Kong for not being able to obey his fate." I have no affection for the princess, and she is full of resentment against me, and the marriage is absolutely inappropriate! ”

Li Mi said lightly: "The king of the county, please think twice, can the king of the county know that this matter can be big or small, and if it is not handled properly, the hard-won friendly covenant between Hui and my dynasty will definitely be abandoned?" ”

Kong Sheng smiled coldly: "The overall situation of Huifu has been decided, Ye Hu is in charge, and all those who oppose the alliance are currently hostage in Datang, Li Xiang is inevitably a little alarmist." ”

"The king of the county is in Lingwu, killing thousands of Hui soldiers, and captive Mo Yan Si Khan and others to Chang'an, it can be said that the alliance between the Hui and our dynasty is based on the strong means of the county king, but the old man's words are a little exaggerated?" Li Mi smiled slightly.

Kong Sheng nodded, this is the truth, there is nothing to deny.

"Gu Yun's identity is different, she is the righteous daughter of Mo Yansi, and she has a high status in the hearts of the Hui people. The old man heard that her relationship with Ye Hu Khan was not ordinary, if Gu Yun died in Chang'an because of this, what would the Hui people think? ”

"Although the king of the county has repeatedly claimed that he has nothing to do with the princess of Hui, but the princess of Huisu does not hesitate to die to wash away her innocence, once this matter spreads, don't talk about the Huisu people, even if it is the people of Chang'an, how many people will believe the words of the county king?"

Li Mi continued to ask, Kong Sheng couldn't help but stop talking, it was really difficult for him to explain this matter to outsiders, it could really be said that he couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

"It is conceivable that if the Hui princess has the slightest accident, it will inevitably arouse the hatred of the Hui people against the county king, and because the county king is alone, it will affect all of my Tang Dynasty, plus the leaders of the Hui tribes are held hostage in my Chang'an, and the Hui people will make trouble, the county king can think about it, that Ye Hu Khan has a shallow foundation, can he suppress the turbulence of the Hui situation?"

"If this is the case, it has become a certain inevitability for Hui to raise troops to commit Tang again." Li Mi said deeply: "Although the old man doesn't want to be arrogant, but my Tang Dynasty now has very few troops in the northwest, and the countries of the Western Regions are also ready to move, once a war breaks out between our dynasty and the Hui Dynasty, the Western Regions will also be turbulent, and so on, the war will spread throughout the Xisai, how many Tang people will be affected?" Have you ever thought about it?! ”

Kong Sheng was silent.

He suddenly realized that Li Mi's words were not unreasonable. He only thought about suppressing the Hui through thunderous means, and laying the foundation for Ye Hu to control the overall situation of the Hui Hui by means of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, but he neglected an important point: the Hui people are not a rational and weak nation, they have always advocated force, and the people are strong, once they ...... They will really ignore the danger of losing the country and brazenly wage war against Datang!

And once there is turmoil in the country, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Ye Hu to control the overall situation, and it will not be long before he will be overthrown and stepped down. (To be continued.) )
