Chapter Seventy-Four: The Post House

Mu Changfeng left, and Kong Sheng began to pack up. In fact, he has no long things, except for a few changes of clothes, and then there is the broken sword given by Yang Xueruo and the canonization edict of the imperial court.

In the afternoon, Yang Kuan, the chief housekeeper of the Yang Mansion, came over in person and sent two servants who were about thirty years old, and 10,000 yuan as a coil. Kong Sheng naturally expressed his gratitude for Yang Qi's kindness, but he only accepted 10,000 yuan and declined the two domestic servants.

Accepting the servants of the Yang family is tantamount to agreeing to Yang Qi to plant two nails by his side, Kong Shengyan can do this kind of thing.

Not long after, Hongmian also sent Yang Xueruo's handwritten letter and sweetness. Hearing that Yang Xue wanted Tian'er to follow him as a personal maid to take care of his daily life, Kong Sheng was a little surprised, although he felt the thoughtfulness and tenderness of his lover, he still shook his head and refused.

Early tomorrow morning, he will leave Jiangnan and travel day and night -- he will rush to Suiyang to take up his post in the shortest possible time to deal with the sudden change in the situation. There are many dangers here, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it is inconvenient for Tian'er, a weak girl to stay by her side.

But in the end, considering Yang Xueruo's affection, Kong Sheng couldn't bear to refute her face, so he agreed with Tian'er - he would go to Suiyang first, and when he settled down, he would write to her to rush over.

Hongmian also agreed with Kong Sheng to say goodbye outside the East City Gate tomorrow, and Yang Xue wanted to go out of the city in person to see off Ailang.

After packing up, Kong Sheng began to think about a more sensitive question: should he go to Li Fuguo, the great eunuch who was happy to receive gifts and land in the post house, to resign?

Kong Sheng has no good impression of Li Fuguo, the power supervisor who will bring disaster to the country and the people and disrupt the dynasty in the future, and if he has the opportunity, he will get rid of it as soon as possible to eliminate hidden dangers for the world. But at present, it is not appropriate for him to offend this prisoner.

According to historical records, Li Fuguo has a yin heart, a rebellious style, a narrow-minded heart, and a great grudge. After all, he came to Jiangnan to announce the decree, if Kong Sheng did not say goodbye, it may not necessarily cause Li Fuguo's "concern", but once he is suspicious of this thief, the consequences will be very bad.

The so-called big husband must know the power to change, and not stick to one pattern, so that he can go through the winding path. The so-called those who achieve great things are not informal, at least at the moment, it is not the time to confront Li Fuguo. Besides, he is a small county magistrate who has not yet arrived, what can he do to fight with the spoiled ministers around the emperor?

Three o'clock in the afternoon. Kong Sheng quietly went out, went to the officially founded money number near the inn, and issued two "bills" that could be withdrawn from other places with vouchers, each 100 yuan, a total of 200 yuan. He sold the ancestral house of the Kong family a while ago and got 300 yuan from the Yang family, and recently spent 100 yuan on the expense, which is basically all his belongings.

Copper coins are heavy, and it is impossible to carry a large number of copper coins back and forth when going out or merchants, as early as a few decades ago, official or semi-official money institutions such as the Bank of Later Times appeared, which is actually a kind of exchange business.

In a few years, this kind of exchange business will develop into a more mature and standardized business, and it will be called flying money.

Kong Sheng did not hesitate to carry the two voucher bills with money numbers, and hurried to the post house. The outside of the post house was heavily guarded, and it was guarded by soldiers sent by Yang Qi. After all, Li Fuguo is a member of the imperial court, and if he makes a mistake in Jiangning, Yang Qi will be complicit in rebellion, and he will not be able to eat and walk around.

Of course, for Yang Qi, this is actually an invisible surveillance. In this one-third of an acre of land in the south of the Yangtze River, no matter who it is, it is difficult to escape Yang Qi's secret manipulation.

Kong Sheng stood outside the door of the post house, looked around slightly, and saw that in addition to the bright guardians, there were also many hidden piles, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

He understands very well that Yang Qi is still in a wait-and-see state, and he will definitely delay the dispatch of troops in the name that the imperial court wants him to lead the Jiangnan army to cross the river to support Guo Ziyi's rebellion.

If the overall situation of the Tang court's counterinsurgency has been decided, Yang Qi will be forced to add icing on the cake; And if it is the other way around, the imperial court is defeated by the hands of An Lushan rebels, and the situation is not good, I am afraid that the world is full of beacons, and Yang Qi, the 100,000 Jiangnan soldiers and horses, may turn around and deploy on the front line of Shannan and Huaiyang, and divide Jiangnan into an independent kingdom of the Yang family.

And once Yang Qi establishes himself as king in Jiangnan, the first one will take Li Fuguo, the so-called imperial envoy, there is no doubt about it.

Therefore, don't look at Li Fuguo's graceful and graceful performance in Jiangning City, he is actually playing with fire, and he may play with fire at some point**, but unfortunately Li Fuguo is unaware. In fact, it was no wonder that he would never have dreamed that Yang Qi would have a disobedience to the Tang Court.

Thinking of this, Kong Sheng let out a sigh of relief, handed over the greeting post and smiled at the guards and said, "Master Jun, Xiao Ke Kong Sheng, please see Lord Qincha, please report the trouble." ”

The soldier actually recognized Kong Sheng a long time ago, Kong Sheng is a celebrity and a man of the year in Jiangning City, and now he has an official position, a famous protégé of the Son of Heaven, this soldier did not dare to slack off, and immediately hugged his fists in return, and promised to go inside with a smile to report.

Hearing that Kong Sheng, a scholar from Jiangnan, was coming, Li Fuguo was stunned.

Don't look at the announcement of Kong Sheng's appointment as a minister, but he doesn't pay much attention to Kong Sheng, and he can't even remember Kong Sheng's appearance at this moment. A young scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, with a little talent and enthusiasm, was canonized in the smoke-filled Henan Province to serve as the county magistrate, and it would not end well at all.

The protégé of the Son of Heaven sounds quite scary, but in fact it is worthless. If you can't even save your life, don't say that you are a protégé of the Son of Heaven, even if you are the teacher of the Son of Heaven, what can you do?

In the past two days, he received gifts and received cramps, and he didn't care about Kong Sheng's behavior. Moreover, he heard that Kong Sheng was poor and living in an inn, and he never expected Kong Sheng to come to express himself.

Stretching out his hand and not hitting smiling people, being respected is a good thing after all, Li Fuguo has nothing to do anyway, so he decided to meet Kong Sheng to see if this little guy understands current affairs.

The sergeant hurriedly came out and smiled at Kong Sheng, who was waiting at the door, "Kong Xianzun, please come in, Lord Qincha has accepted your prayer post." ”

Kong Sheng smiled, nodded, and went inward, and just as he passed by the sergeant, a string of copper coins quietly stuffed into the sergeant's hand, and the sergeant quietly put the copper coin into his arms without a trace, and his good impression of Kong Sheng suddenly skyrocketed.

These days, as the Jiangnan sergeants under Yang Qi's command who were stationed in the post house to guard the gate of the Qincha, they received a lot of benefits. Most of the local magnates and businessmen who came to the post house to pay homage to Li Fuguo would send them some sweetness openly and secretly.

If it can be continued for a long time, this is simply a huge beauty difference. These sergeants can't wait for Li Fuguo to stay in Jiangning City for a long time, and they can follow suit.
