Chapter 765: Change of Dynasty? （2）

King Zheng's mansion has been overcrowded these days, and there is an endless stream of people who have come to pay homage to Kong Sheng, and the palace is very lively.

In the government and the opposition, even a pawn of a peddler in Chang'an City thought that Kong Sheng was about to change the dynasty and become emperor. In fact, no one will give up the supreme imperial power, and all this is just a step forward for Kong Sheng, and it is within reach.

Of course, there are a few people who feel that since Kong Sheng is a god descended into the world, then he may not be interested in the mundane throne. But even if Kong Sheng is not interested in ordinary imperial power, he can support others to rise up, and in any case, the opportunity for the Li Tang royal family is definitely gone. Therefore, in the upcoming power reshuffle, Kong Sheng will have the absolute right to speak whether he is the emperor or not, and many people are here for this.

Li Ju, the king of Yu, even took the initiative to rebuild a temple in his manor outside the city, and organized more than 100 craftsmen to shape the golden statue of Kong Sheng day and night. The unashamed flattery of the Yu Wangfu made Li Mi and Du Hongjian very disdainful, but they couldn't stop it.

Originally, King Yu's father and son, especially Li Chuan, the son of King Yu, were hostile to Kong Sheng in every way, and once followed Li Yu's back to fall into the trap against Kong Sheng. At this moment, Li Chuan has transformed into a pug with a smile on his face to please King Zheng's Mansion, which is naturally a joke in Chang'an City.

Li Ju knew this, but he turned a blind eye. He is also considered to be the Li Tang clan, and he did not deal with Kong Sheng in the past, and now Kong Sheng is in power, if he suppresses and retaliates, his vein will suffer a double blow from Kong Sheng. Therefore, Li Jucai didn't care about the so-called shameful face, and made such a behavior to please Kong Sheng.

King Zheng Kong Sheng is a god, and it is normal to have his own temple in Chang'an. The people of the palace of the king of Yu confidently declared it to the outside world, and it was ridiculous to hear outsiders.

In these days, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do. Don't look at the time of only three to five days, but with the full efforts of the huge financial resources of the King of Yu, a splendid temple was completed.

The temple is a little smaller, because the time is limited, and it is too late to expand the scale and build various temples. The focus is on the main hall, in the middle of the main hall is the statue of Kong Sheng holding the Fang Tian painting halberd and riding the heroic horse chasing the wind, which is vivid and vivid. On both sides are the statues of fierce generals under the command of Kong Sheng, such as Wuxian, Wujie, Li Biao, and Li Hu.

On this day, at the inauguration ceremony of the temple, Li Ju, the king of Yu, personally went to King Zheng's mansion to invite Kong Sheng to cut the ribbon. But he didn't see Kong Sheng, only Yang Tong. Yang Tong is now the chief steward and chief military advisor of King Zheng's mansion, and all internal affairs are managed by him. Yang Tong was noncommittal about King Yu's greeting, and didn't pay too much attention to it.

What kind of temple, if they want to build it, then build it, anyway, it would be wishful thinking to let Kong Sheng come forward.

Li Ju didn't invite Kong Sheng, so he invited Wu Xian Wujie and others instead. These generals under Kong Sheng's command did not refuse, and gave full authority to the two Wuxian Wujie brothers to attend the inauguration ceremony of the temple.

Li Ju also invited the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and although the people who received the invitation were disdainful, they still did not dare not come. Just kidding, Kong Sheng's temple, even if it is a shameless product of Li Ju's sycophancy, then it can't be missed, wouldn't not it represent contempt for King Zheng's authority?

Li Mi Du Hong gradually did not come, and Guo Ziyi did not come. Yan Zhenqing and Zhang Xun also did not come. Among the top magnates, only the general Li Guangbi came.

There were also two distinguished guests, which surprised Li Juju.

Empress Zhang and King Ding's mother and son Li Tong swaggered into the scene of the inauguration ceremony of the temple, and in front of everyone's eyes, the mother and son were dressed in formal clothes and looked calm. Although this mother and son have fled Chang'an City a long time ago, although the Li Tang royal family is now the meat on Kong Sheng's case, but after all, they are the Empress of the Tang Dynasty and the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, with prominent status, and they are the people who should not appear on such occasions.

But many people immediately realized the true intentions of Empress Zhang's mother and son.

wants to replace Li Yu and try to use Kong Sheng to achieve the goal of ascending to the top.

Li Ju stepped forward with a smile on his face and said: "I didn't expect the queen mother and Her Royal Highness Dingwang to come in person, which has added a lot to the completion of the temple, since the queen mother is here, can you ask His Royal Highness Dingwang to preside over the ceremony?" ”

Empress Zhang snorted, with a graceful and elegant face: "My son Dingwang and King Zheng are teachers and students, and the teacher-student relationship is deep, since the temple of King Zheng is completed, it is natural for my son to preside over the ceremony in person." ”

Young Li Tong's expression was slightly embarrassed. He actually knew that the behavior of the mother and son not only made the Chang'an magnates disdainful, but also equivalent to openly defecting to Kong Sheng and parting ways with the royal family of the Li Tang clan.

It's just that what Kong Sheng thinks in his heart, whether he will be willing to support him to ascend the throne and become emperor, Li Tong is really not sure. But he has not coveted the throne for a day and a half, and he knows that today is also an opportunity, so he has no objection to his mother Empress Zhang's decision.

Li Tong's face was solemn: "The temple of my teacher was completed, and as a student, this king should personally unveil the statue of the god." Today, you will participate in the grand event with this king, and it will surely go down in history. ”

Li Ju pursed his lips in his heart, and said in his heart, you Li Tong is a bird, if it weren't for Kong Sheng's sudden rise, you wouldn't be bullshit.

Li Jugong arched his hand and motioned for his son Li Chuan to start the ceremony.

In the sound of loud and sacred music, Li Tong and Li Juyi slowly stepped forward left and right, preparing to unveil the statue. At this moment, he heard a commotion at the door, and after a while, Li Xuan, the king of Fengyang County, who was dressed in a strong suit, broke in with a hammer in his hand.

This Li Xuan is Li Ju's daughter.

Li Chuan was furious: "Little sister, what are you going to do?" What is the occasion now? The temple of King Arun is completed, what are you doing here? Hurry back home! ”

Li Xuan rushed to the statue with an arrow, turned to look at his father Li Ju and brother Li Chuan, and the pain and helplessness in his eyes were overflowing: "Father, brother, what are you going to do?" Kong Sheng is still alive, if you build a temple for him, aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at him? ”

Li Ju angrily reprimanded: "King Zheng is wise and martial, born as a god, and is admired by the world. We built a temple for King Zheng, which is also what everyone in the world wants! Li Xuan, hurry back, don't make noise here! ”

Li Xuan let out a long sigh, and the despair in her eyes was intense to the extreme. The character of her father and brother really embarrassed her.

A trace of determination passed through her heart, and she suddenly waved the hammer in her hand, and under this exclamation one after another, she smashed the statue of Kong Sheng behind her.

Li Xuan was furious, although the statue was tall, it couldn't withstand her full strength. Before the statue could be unveiled, it turned into ruins, not only many people present were stunned, but Li Ju's father and son were even more frightened.

The county lord of the Yu Wangfu smashed the statue of Kong Sheng in public, if this reached Kong Sheng's ears, the Yu Wangfu would not live. There is no place to die.

Li Chuan was so frightened that the corners of his mouth trembled, and he didn't know what to say. Li Ju was almost paralyzed with fright, and was supported by two guards.

Dingwang Li Tong's face changed greatly, and he angrily reprimanded: "King Fengyang County, you are so bold, you dare to destroy the statue of my master, this is a serious crime to destroy the nine clans!" Come on, take Li Xuan down and hand it over to King Zheng's mansion for punishment! ”

Li Xuan stood resolutely, her delicate face was full of indifference and contempt: "His Royal Highness King Ding, you are the son and son of the current emperor, the Tianhuang noble, the prince of the Tang Dynasty built a temple statue for a king with a different surname, where is the face of the Tang royal family?" ”

Li Tong blushed: "Come on, take her down!" ”

Li Xuanang turned around proudly and sneered: "You don't need to arrest it, the county lord will go to King Zheng's Mansion to ask for guilt, anyway, I smashed this statue, what can you do to me?" Don't say this one, as much as you build, the county lord will smash as much as you want! ”

In everyone's ears, Li Xuan's words were almost equivalent to an open declaration of war on King Zheng's mansion. Li Ju's father and son were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they almost fainted on the spot.

Originally, Wu Xian Wujie still felt that it was difficult to stand up and say something, after all, Kong Sheng did not think much about Li Ju's construction of the temple. But when he smashed the statue in front of the people of King Zheng's mansion and publicly declared war, Wu Xianwu Xie was immediately furious, and he couldn't help but stand up and roared: "Lord Fengyang, you are so arrogant and rude, offending King Zheng, are you really not afraid of death?" ”

Li Xuan glanced at Wuxian Wuxie contemptuously: "Wuxian Wujie, the two of you are just from Su Wei, and you followed Kong Sheng to the sky one step at a time, and now that Mu Monkey is crowned, do you dare to shout in front of the county lord?" I offended Kong Sheng? What a joke! ”

"What if I'm offended? You go back and tell Kong Sheng that the county lord is doing things alone, even if he goes to King Zheng's mansion, I will also say that if Kong Sheng is really arrogant to the extent of building a temple for himself now, I will not only smash his statue, but also scold him for not being honest and self-respecting! ”

Li Xuan's face was awe-inspiring and he walked out of the temple step by step, Wu Xianwu was furious, and immediately ordered the soldiers who followed him to stop Li Xuan and take it down. Li Xuan did not resist, and let the Luoyang soldiers detain him with an indifferent face.

The pulse of King Yu is completely finished. This is the unanimous idea of all Chang'an magnates, including Li Guangbi. They didn't know why Li Xuan was so bold, but the result of her doing so was to push the Yu Wangfu into the abyss of no return. No matter how big Kong Sheng's belly is, he will not tolerate a Li Tang clan lord who provokes his supreme authority in public.

Even Li Xuan, Du Hongji, Guo Ziyi and others, who heard the news later, sighed secretly, feeling that Li Xuan suddenly came out to break into such a catastrophe, which was a bit inexplicable. You can't get used to it, in fact, they can't get used to it, but you can't jump out in public and punch Kong Sheng's face. Judging by Kong Sheng's style, Li Yu concluded that the Tang Dynasty clan, King Li Ju, would definitely become the first to be unlucky and cleaned up.

It is good to depose the title and exile him from Beijing. If you don't do it well, you will be copied and beheaded by the Manchurian government to set an example.

Many Li Tang clans also scolded Li Xuan into a puddle of mud behind their backs, because Li Xuan did this at such a delicate juncture and provoked Kong Sheng, which would make all Li Tang clans suffer from the pond fish.
