Chapter 154: Seeing the King (4)

In fact, at the beginning, Li Xuan did not attach importance to the so-called power of the Yu Wang family, and had no intention of taking away Li Chuan's intention to inherit the title of county king. But after all, she is a very thoughtful and different from the ordinary county lord of the royal title of the county lord, she is not willing to live a life of inaction, marry and have children, and become the so-called "husband and child" of the good wife and mother, so she participated in military and political affairs, and even personally came forward to form an extremely elite army of 1,000 people under the command of King Yu.

This made her invisibly on the opposite side of Li Chuan. In the second generation of King Yu, there can only be one person, one card, and one voice, and now the reputation of the county lord of Fengyang is gradually overshadowing the son, how can Li Chuan accept it?

Therefore, Li Xuan and Li Chuan have constant disputes. Li Xuan passively accepted this pattern of strife, and had to cultivate her own strength behind the scenes. Li Chuan repeatedly objected to Kong Sheng's reuse by King Yu, and his purpose was to cut off Li Xuan's wings.

Li Ju, the king of Yu, coughed and cleared his throat, with a gentle smile on his face, stared at Kong Sheng and waved his hand: "Kong Sheng, this king believes that the court and His Majesty will not choose the wrong talent, this king has heard that the south of the Yangtze River is a prosperous place, and the talent is doubled, since everyone has this intention, you don't have to refuse." ”

Kong Sheng sneered in his heart: "This is nothing more than coercion in a different way, isn't it just copying poems, and it's not the first time Lao Tzu has done this, are you still afraid that you won't succeed?" ”

Kong Sheng's face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he saluted King Yu: "The prince has a life, how dare Kong Sheng disobey." Please also ask Your Highness to ask for questions. ”

King Yu groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "In the ninth spring of Tianbao, this king was once called to inspect the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River. The beautiful scenery of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River where the warbler sings and the swallow dances and the fog locks the green mountains still makes the king remember it vividly. It's better to do this, and take Jiangnan Spring as the theme - you are a Jiangnan scholar. The people and things around you should be like a treasure, isn't this difficult for you? ”

Li Ju looked at Kong Sheng, his gaze seemed gentle, but in fact, there was a hidden blade.

Kong Sheng was not afraid, and clasped his fists and saluted: "Where is it, since His Royal Highness has proposed." The lower officials should obey their orders. ”

Kong Sheng paced two steps forward, his expression calm.

Xue Sheng and the others present waited and waited, and their eyes were cast on Kong Sheng. As for Li Chuan, he hated Kong Sheng to make a fool of himself on the spot, which made him feel angry and resentful. In fact, where did Kong Sheng recruit him and provoke him? It's just inexplicable!

Li Xuan didn't pay too much attention to it, she had already understood Kong Sheng's poetry, and she didn't think that Kong Sheng would be stumped by her father's proposition that it was not harsh this time. The crux of the matter is whether Kong Sheng's poems can be highly praised by these Jiangbei officials, and whether there are subtleties in the poems.

Kong Sheng groaned. He paced three more steps forward.

After walking these five steps, Kong Sheng couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, he entered the play too quickly, this forced pretended to be perfect, since the rebirth, the copying of the poem itself has not copied the level, but the appearance and acting skills of pretending to be forced are getting deeper and deeper.

Isn't there a person who becomes a poem in seven steps, today, Lao Tzu will make a poem in five steps. It's a record-breaking one - since that's what you want, come on!

In Li Chuan's eyes. Kong Sheng was really pretending to be like this, but he was just about to open his mouth to sneer a few words, but he saw Kong Sheng raise his head and chest, and his voice was clear and groaned-

"Thousands of miles of warblers cry green and red, and the water village mountain Guo wine flag wind. There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain. ”

Kong Sheng groaned. Turning to look at Li Ju, the king of Yu, he smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, can this poem still be titled?" ”

Li Ju took a deep breath, and couldn't help but get up and clap his hands and praise: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a genius in Jiangnan and a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven!" This poem is eloquent. The style is far-reaching, and it evokes many good memories of this king! Ladies and gentlemen, do you think so?! ”

Li Xuan clapped her hands and chuckled: "Father, I just said it, Kong Sheng's poetry is famous all over the world, and the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven appointed by His Majesty can be adulterated?" ”

Xue Sheng is a civil official, so he is naturally a person who knows goods. With such a quatrain poem that attaches equal importance to talent and artistic conception, he can't say no with a clear conscience. He also smiled and applauded, even he, the capital of Jiangbei civil officials, praised it, and Du Ping and several generals knew what poetry, so they had to accompany him twice.

Kong Sheng shook his head: "His Royal Highness and all the adults praise falsely, Kong Sheng really doesn't dare to take it." ”

Kong Sheng got up again and turned to Li Chuan, smiling rather than smiling: "Shizi, is Kong Sheng's poem still in the eyes of the law?" ”

Li Chuan's face turned red, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's not bad." ”

Kong Sheng pursed his lips, did not continue to entangle, turned around and saluted King Yu again, and then sat down. He already had a countermeasure, if Li Chuan continued to be "unconvinced", he would rebel against the army and let Li Chuan try it. However, since Li Chuan did not provoke, he naturally stopped.

He knows when it's time to stop. If you don't grasp this heat and proportion well, if you don't do it well, you will make King Yu angry, and you will be the one who suffers at that time.

King Li Ju smiled, glanced at his son Li Chuan, and said: "Kong Sheng, now most of Henan is lost at the hands of thieves, Yongqiu is no longer guaranteed, and Suiyang is also in danger. Therefore, this king suggests that you stay in Pengcheng for the time being, join the army in my palace, and make great contributions to the court to quell the rebellion in the coming day. ”

"The matter is urgent, this king will make his own decisions, and I ask Duke Li to forgive me, and I should explain this matter to the court and His Majesty in the future." Li Ju smiled at Li Fuguo.

Li Fuguo raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Yu is really polite, His Royal Highness, as the envoy of Henan Jiedu, the general commander of Henan Jiangbei Soldiers and Horses, has full power to dispatch and appoint subordinate officials. Kong Sheng, the miscellaneous family also thinks so, so it doesn't matter if Suiyang doesn't go, there is the importance of His Royal Highness King Yu, and there are miscellaneous families to testify, and you stay in Pengcheng to serve, not counting your escape and disobedience! ”

Whether it is in the eyes of Li Ju, Li Fuguo, or a cadre of civil and military officials under Li Ju, this is Li Ju's good intentions, Kong Sheng should be grateful to the sneering and kneeling to thank Wang Longen for his kindness, you know, this saved his life, but also saved his future political future.

If it weren't for Li Xuan's strong recommendation, if it weren't for Li Ju's efforts to curry favor with Li Fuguo, it would have been regarded as giving Li Chuan a step down, and with Kong Sheng, an insignificant Jiangnan scholar and Bapin County official, it would not be on his heart at all.

Talented? Li Ju thinks that his fierce generals are like clouds, and strategists are like rain, and there are not many Kong Sheng, and there are many Kong Sheng. Brave? That's even more of a joke, there are countless people in the Jiangbei army who can recruit good fighters, Kong Sheng is a young man, and the claim that Xuanba's resurrection is just an exaggeration, how can it be taken seriously?

Kong Sheng slowly got up and bowed down.

Li Xuan sighed faintly in her heart, she knew that Kong Sheng would definitely refuse this time. And according to the temperament of his father Li Ju, if Kong Sheng does not know how to lift, he may not be angry with him, but at least here in Li Ju, he will have a bad impression of Kong Sheng, and there will be no future.

"His Royal Highness's kindness and support, Kong Sheng empathizes with him and is grateful. However, Kong Sheng was ordered by the imperial court and appointed by His Majesty, if he was afraid of difficulties because of the war in Suiyang, one would make the world laugh, the second would be disappointed by the court's recommendation, and the third would also be contrary to the original intention of the court to call on people with lofty ideals in the world to go to the national disaster. ”

"Therefore, Kong Sheng is still willing to risk his life to serve in Suiyang, and this time he should do his best for the imperial court!" Kong Sheng raised his head and said, his eyes burning: "Moreover, Suiyang may not be broken by the hands of traitors, but as long as Suiyang can be defended, there will be hope of recovery in these Henan provinces at any time, and thousands of Li people will not be lost in the hands of thieves!" ”

Li Ju frowned, and said in his heart that this kid doesn't know how to lift, and his mouth is high-sounding, but in fact, he is just childish and impulsive, and he doesn't know how thick the sky is.

Li Fuguo was also surprised, he frowned and glanced at Kong Sheng, opened his mouth, but closed it again, he and Kong Sheng did not have a deep friendship after all, and seeing that Kong Sheng didn't know how to advance or retreat, he didn't bother to say anything more.

Pengcheng County Shou Xue Sheng and the others secretly sneered, each pursed their lips with disdain, young and arrogant, hot-blooded, even if they have a little talent, what can they do? Since he is going to Suiyang to die, then let's go, why bother to say more?

Only then did Kong Sheng's poetry show some of the goodwill that Xue Sheng and others had, but it instantly disappeared because of Kong Sheng's "self-indulgence".

Li Chuan finally couldn't help it, he got up and openly scolded: "You really don't know how to lift, you don't know how to advance or retreat, and you are arrogant and rude!" ”

Li Chuan Huoran got up, raised his hand and pointed at Kong Sheng's big stab: "With you as a yellow-mouthed son, how can you dare to talk about the major affairs of the government and military aircraft, and proudly claim to save the people of Limin?" ”

With Li Chuan's identity as the son, it is said that the rebound should not be too much. Especially the embarrassment that I just experienced Kong Sheng's counterattack before, I shouldn't have to repeat the old tricks.

But there are deep-seated reasons for this.

Although Li Chuan and Li Xuan are half-brothers and sisters, both are the children of King Yu, they have always had various disputes. Li Chuan has always believed that Li Xuan's existence has invisibly lowered the authority of his son by half a level, and his position is not stable.

On weekdays, the more Li Ju loves Li Xuan, and the more Li Xuan's prestige in the family of King Yu increases, the more jealous Li Chuan becomes, and Li Chuan will spare no effort to trample on anyone or anything related to Li Xuan. After a long time and a lot of stepping on it, it becomes some kind of subconscious inertia.

To put it bluntly, it was not Kong Sheng who stepped on him, but Li Xuan. What Li Xuan supports, he must oppose, whether it is right or wrong; And what Li Xuan likes, he must also hate it, whether it is right or wrong. (To be continued.) )
