Kong Sheng didn't know that once some things pierced the window paper, there was no turning back.

But he was stuck in his throat and had to vomit. For the sake of Yang Xueruo's affection, he had to take a risk. He decided to have a long and honest talk with Yang Qi in person, if he could make Yang Qi change his mind, it would be best, if not, he could only do his best to obey the fate of heaven.

He did everything he had to do, but it was going to rain and his mother was going to get married, so let him go.

"Lord Envoy, there are only you and me here today, and there are some things to say openly. Does uncle know why An Lushan rebelled? Kong Sheng said softly.

Sure enough, it came. Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, but waved his hand quietly: "An thief is naturally rebellious and has a backbone, which everyone in the world knows. Speaking of which, the reason why he raised troops to rebel is not complicated in the opinion of this official. ”

"The main thing is that Li Linfu's suppression and Yang Guozhong's persecution. It is well known to the Manchu Dynasty that An Lushan is afraid of the ruthless, vicious, and scheming Li Linfu, An Lushan once said to those close to him: I An Lushan was born and died, I am not afraid of heaven and earth, and I am not afraid of today, but I am afraid of Li Xianggong. But as soon as Li Linfu died, the thief lost his suppression, and Yang Guozhong was stupid and rebellious, unlike Li Linfu, who attached equal importance to An Lushan, and only knew how to blindly suppress and coerce, and finally forced the thief back. ”

"Actually, this official thinks that the thief is still a little too hasty, if he can calmly prepare for another two years, or it will not be the situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger now. Moreover, after all, this person is just Hu'er, short-sighted and unambitious, after he broke through Luoyang, Chang'an, he was eager to call the emperor and not want to forge ahead, if he took advantage of the situation to go straight into Shu, or divide his troops to take Lingwu, hum, this world is not in the palm of his hand? ! ”

If Yang Qi's words that are usually hidden in his heart are heard by outsiders, it is undoubtedly a big rebellion, he said it so bluntly and unabashedly ambitious, it made Kong Sheng's heart even more solemn.

Kong Sheng gasped. At this moment, he can be regarded as completely "honest" with Yang Qi, and since Yang Qi dares to speak out, he must have killed him. Kong Sheng knew that he was playing with fire, and he was also dancing on the wire rope, and if he was not careful, he would be crushed to ashes.

Kong Sheng was silent for a while, he deliberately avoided the second half of Yang Qi's words, and directly responded to his first half: "Lord Envoy, what you said is actually a superficial phenomenon, Kong Mou doesn't think so."

Yang Qi sneered: "You can tell me about it." ”

"The reason why An Lushan rebelled, in Kong's view, there are three real reasons. First, selfish desires swelled and power swelled. This man loves money like life, he has a strong army, and he relies on the army to rob nature of a million profits. Second, the court was corrupt. After the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty lost its political clarity and the rule of the monarchs and ministers, and some of them only became increasingly corrupt and their close ministers seized power. Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong successively became prime ministers, which made the government and government miserable. This situation is an opportunity. Thirdly, there is domestic emptiness. At that time, the main force of the imperial army was fighting on the border, and there were very few troops guarding Chang'an and Guanluo. ”

As soon as Kong Sheng's words were finished, the corners of Yang Qi's mouth twitched: "What you and I are talking about is much the same." Kong Sheng, do you know that talking about the government and criticizing the court is a serious crime of killing the head? ”

"I said before, there are no outsiders at this moment, I am willing to say a few words with Lord Jun, if Lord Jun thinks I am arrogant, then, Kong Sheng will confess his guilt and let the Lord deal with it!" Kong Sheng said calmly.

Yang Qi glanced at Kong Sheng and waved his hand: "You continue." ”

"Although the thief is powerful and occupies most of the Central Plains, in my opinion, he will be defeated within three or five years at most. A beard can't become any climate. Kong Sheng bowed his hand: "Does Lord Jun think so?" ”

"I may not see it when I see it. Moreover, in this world, those who support the army and are ready to move, not to mention An Lushan alone, even if the imperial court quells the rebellion of the thieves, I am afraid that it will also be a wave of unsettled waves, and this society has long been in chaos. ”

"An Lushan is not the only ambitious person in the world, there is no doubt about it. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty has accumulated a lot of difficulties, and the division of feudal towns has been deeply entrenched, and it is difficult to fundamentally reverse it. I believe that all the feudal towns in the world are waiting and watching, and if the imperial court is unable to suppress the rebellion of the thieves for a long time, as long as one person ignites the fire, it will become a spark of fire. ”

Kong Sheng smiled, and his voice became solemn and quiet: "But the general trend of the world has its own certainty, and anyone who acts recklessly will become the target of the public and the finger of ten thousand people." Therefore, we must continue to wait for the opportunity and plan before we can achieve its great things. For now, it can be seen whether the thief rebels can take Taiyuan Mansion first. If the thieves break through Taiyuan, then Lingwu is in danger. Even if there are famous ministers such as Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi in the imperial court, they are powerless to return to heaven. At that time, there will be people in the world's feudal towns who will take advantage of the situation, and the world will be chaotic for several years, more than ten years, or even dozens of years. ”

"Do you think so?"

Kong Sheng did not mention Yang Qi's ambition for half a word from beginning to end, but every word meant something, and his words were already very straightforward.

These words directly reached Yang Qi's heart, and he was greatly excited when he heard it: "Yes." ”

However, if the thieves can't take Taiyuan Mansion, Li Guangbi's army will take advantage of the situation to attack, and the Guo Ziyi army on the eastern front will attack on two fronts, echoing back and forth, and the recovery of Guanluo is just around the corner. Once the imperial court quells the rebellion of the thieves, even the world is still full of holes, and the opportunity to compete for hegemony is lost. If you act rashly, you can know the end. ”

When Yang Qi heard this, his face became a little gloomy. In fact, Kong Sheng didn't say this, he also had some points in his heart. It's just that his ambition has not been inflated for a day or two, and he has been preparing for it for many years, and he is unwilling to take advantage of the chaos.

Seeing Yang Qi's expression change, Kong Sheng knew that his heartfelt words and analysis of the general trend of the world, and his sincere suggestions did not have much effect.

Kong Sheng sighed secretly in his heart, gritted his teeth and suddenly said: "There is only one daughter under the knee of Lord Jun, and there is no heir to inherit the family business. ”

After Kong Sheng finished speaking, he sat back again, closing his eyes and saying nothing.

His words were like a pinprick that went straight to Yang Qi's soft underbelly, stabbing Yang Qi painfully, and he became angry on the spot. He knew that Kong Sheng was "reasonable", but he was still so angry that his face turned blue, his shoulders trembled slightly, he raised his hand and pointed at Kong Sheng, and wanted to scold, and even directly ordered Kong Sheng to be killed, but he never opened this mouth.

Yang Qi's subconscious was deliberately avoiding this, carefully protecting this layer of scars, but today he was stabbed by Kong Sheng's words like a knife, and gurgling blood flowed out.

Yang Qi roared and roared silently, his face extremely hideous and terrifying. Kong Sheng didn't open his eyes, but he also guessed Yang Qi's reaction and performance.

In troubled times, heavy canons should be used, and heavy medicine is needed. If there is no fierce medicine, how can Yang Qi, who has an overheated mind, cool down and wake up? Kong Sheng saw Yang Qi's temperament, although he was deep and scheming, but he was suspicious and fickle, and a little indecisive.

Even though Kong Sheng chose to directly expose Yang Qi's ambitions and scars this time and angered him, Yang Qi had too many scruples for a while, and it was difficult to immediately poison Kong Sheng. After all, the current Kong Sheng is too famous, and there is a special envoy from the imperial court who is coming, so he can't move for the time being.
