Wu Xian's words are already very straightforward. Li Fuguo, as a rootless eunuch, is not close to women, so he is naturally greedy for money and greedy for yellow and white things. If King Yu wants to marry Li Fuguo, the most direct way is to bribe him and give him gifts.

Li Fuguo fled from Jiangning in a hurry, and he didn't take away a lot of money and gifts he received in Jiangning, and he was already in pain, if he could make up for it from Li Ju, of course he would be happy.

Of course, Li Fuguo also likes one thing, and that is power. It's a pity that Li Ju, the king of Yu, can't give him such a thing.

As soon as he thought of this, Kong Sheng suddenly realized a key question: Li Fuguo is a well-known and important figure in this history, but according to the normal historical trend, he did not go down to the south of the Yangtze River and fled to Pengcheng.

Li Xuan pursed her lips, which was similar to what she expected. He no longer continued to talk about this, but turned his head to look at Kong Sheng and said: "Kong Sheng, I have already recommended my father to you, I really hope that you can stay in Pengcheng, we will work together to fight against the thieves and serve the imperial court!" ”

Kong Sheng smiled lightly and said: "County Lord, I am the county commander of Songcheng County, Henan Province, and I was originally under the control and command of His Royal Highness King Yu, and there is not much difference between me going to Suiyang and staying in Pengcheng." Rather than hiding in the rear and strategizing, I prefer to fight the thieves and rebels face to face! ”

"Now that the rebels in Henan are in power, the people are struggling to make a living, and they are starving all over the wilderness, since Kong Sheng was ordered by the imperial court to be the commander of Songcheng County, no matter what, Kong Sheng cannot be afraid and live up to the high expectations of His Majesty and the imperial court!"

Kong Sheng's later words were impassioned, and he also pushed out the emperor and the imperial court as a reasonable shield, Li Xuan knew that he was arguing. But there is no way to take him.

Kong Sheng is a protégé of the Son of Heaven canonized by the emperor and a Songcheng county order appointed by the emperor. If Kong Sheng grabbed this point, he didn't let go. Don't talk about Li Xuan, even if it is Li Ju, the king of Qiu, he is helpless, and there is no way to take him.

"Kong Sheng, you don't want to show off your tongue in front of the county lord. That Suiyang is extremely dangerous, and the rebels will definitely attack in the future to pacify the entire Henan, what is the difference between you going there and sending you to death? It is also to serve the imperial court. It's more appropriate to stay in Pengcheng, you are a smart person, you should understand my good intentions. ”

"The county lord's care, Kong Sheng naturally understands. However, Kong has always been in line with his original intention, and since he has set a goal plan, he will not give up halfway. ”

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Li Xuan's beautiful face, but she hid it very well.

Kong Sheng repeatedly refused her kindness, which made her very puzzled.

Pengcheng was also at the forefront of the fight against the rebels. Kong Sheng's ambition to serve the country and his enthusiasm are still useful; And Kong Sheng, who is both civil and military, will be reused if he stays under the account of King Yu. Moreover, with Li Xuan, the introducer, whether it is a political future or personal interests, he can make a lot of money. With Kong Sheng's mind and the city government, it is impossible not to see through this.

But he still refused.

Li Xuan thought about it again and again, and felt that the reason why Kong Sheng refused to stay under King Yu's account and obey his orders was because he was entangled with all kinds of "festivals" before him. Thinking that he didn't care about it anymore, and Kong Sheng was still thinking about the chicken's belly, Li Xuan's anger didn't come to a place.

Li Xuan's face instantly became gloomy. She snorted coldly, turned her head and left, but left a sentence: "Kong Sheng, my father is going to summon you, you first change your clothes and wash up, and then follow me into the palace!" ”

Li Xuan walked away with a little anger, but did not leave, but waited patiently in the front hall.

Wu Xian looked at Li Xuan's back as he brushed his sleeves away, hesitated for a moment, and persuaded in a low voice: "Childe, the county lord of Fengyang is also very generous, Wu Xian feels that Gongzi staying in Pengcheng has the scheduling arrangement of His Royal Highness King Yu, and it is not a violation of the imperial court's orders." As...... It's better to stay and think about it later. ”

Kong Sheng's eyes rolled, glanced at Wu Xian, and said lightly: "Wu Xian, I have my own opinions, you don't have to say more!" ”

Kong Sheng turned around and went back to his room. Wu Xian opened his mouth and was about to say a few words, but Wu Xie grabbed his arm. Wu Xie shook his head at Wu Xian, signaling him not to arrogant and arrogant, they were just guards around Kong Sheng, how could they influence Kong Sheng's decision-making?

If you talk too much, it will inevitably cause Kong Sheng to be disgusted. Wu Xian stomped his feet with some dissatisfaction, feeling that Kong Sheng was still too young and didn't know how to be flexible, so he insisted on going to Suiyang with his head stuffy, saying that it might be an exaggeration to say that he would die, but it would definitely not end well.

But they couldn't influence Kong Sheng's decision after all. Don't talk about them, even Mu Changfeng, who has a lot of status in Kong Sheng's heart, will not help. What Kong Sheng has decided, no one can change.

Kong Sheng got up early and exercised in the morning, sweating profusely, and King Yu wanted to summon him, at least to wash and change his clothes to show respect. This is the most basic officialdom etiquette.

Kong Sheng did not hesitate, went to wash, changed into the robe of a Tsing Yi scribe, tied his crown, put on the broken sword forged by Yang Xueruo himself on his waist, and then walked out of the backyard slowly.

His movements were very quick, and Li Xuan, who was waiting in the front hall, had not finished tasting a cup of hot tea, so he was dressed neatly and waited outside the hall.

Li Xuan stood on the steps of the front hall, staring at the young man with a refreshed face and a calm temperament, his eyes flickered for a while.

After a long time, she waved her hand silently: "Go, follow me into the palace!" ”

Kong Sheng didn't say much, and walked out of the mansion behind Li Xuan.

In front of the mansion, a beautiful luxury carriage was parked, which was in line with the regulations of the county king, princess and other magnates. Although Li Xuan is the lord of the clan, he has been canonized by the emperor, and the etiquette system is equivalent to that of the kings and princesses.

In other words, her etiquette and pomp are the same as those of her father, King Yu, but Li Xuan does not like pomp and circumstance by nature, and most of the time she travels in easy clothes, and she does not pay attention to these ceremonial guards.

Li Xuan got into his carriage with the support of the maid, and Kong Sheng took the reins of the white horse chasing the wind from Wu Xian's hand and turned over on the horse.

Li Xuan said lightly in the carriage: "Let's go." ”

Her maid escorted the guard of honor in a procession, and the carriage started slowly, and Kong Sheng sat on the horse and followed unhurriedly.

The honor guard of the county lord of Fengyang was dispatched, which naturally caused a big commotion in Pengcheng, and the people and merchants on both sides consciously waited on the side of the road to make way for the honor guard. Judging from the smiling faces and awe-inspiring looks on the faces of the people in the city, Kong Sheng said that Li Xuan's prestige in Pengcheng was definitely very high.

In fact, Li Ju, the king of Yu, has two sons and three daughters, and the people of Pengcheng are known as none other than Li Chuan, the prince of the world, and Li Xuan, the lord of Fengyang. As for the other children of King Yu, most of them are hidden in the royal palace and no one knows.

Kong Sheng's white horse chasing the wind belongs to the kind of mount that is very windy, the figure is a head taller than ordinary horses, majestic and powerful, the whole body is snow-white, without a trace of variegated hair, plus Kong Sheng's handsome character, the so-called person is a clothes horse is a saddle, such a handsome young man rides on a rare white horse, it is difficult not to attract the attention of people in the city.

Everyone whispered on the side of the road, and hundreds of eyes were cast on Kong Sheng. Kong Sheng looked calm, with a smile like a spring breeze, sitting on the horse and walking slowly.

Li Xuan lifted the curtain of the carriage, her clear eyes as clear as water projected on Kong Sheng's calm and calm face, and her heart was filled with a complex and indescribable emotion.

Along the way, through two wide streets, you will arrive at the palace of King Yu. In fact, this was originally the Fengyang County Lord's Mansion under the order of Qin. After Li Ju led the people to retreat to Pengcheng, his daughter's county lord's mansion was transformed into the palace of the king of Yu and the marshal's mansion, as the central place for commanding the military and political affairs of Jiangbei and the entire Henan Province.

Li Xuan got out of the car and Kong Sheng got off the horse, before entering the palace, Li Xuan suddenly turned his head and stared at Kong Sheng deeply, and said in a low voice: "The rules of the palace are strict, you don't have to be rude and gaffe, so as not to suffer in vain!" ”

"Thank you for the reminder." Kong Sheng thanked him.

Li Xuan sighed lightly and took the lead.

At the gate of the palace, two rows of brightly armored guards bowed in unison and shouted: "The county lord returns to the mansion!" ”

Li Xuan waved her hand, curled Tingting, and walked forward solemnly. And in front of the head, there are two maidservants dressed in palace costumes, and although it is daytime, they still wear two palace lamps as honor guards. In fact, this is still a war era, and everything is simple. In normal times, in the palace of the county king, the rules and etiquette are cumbersome, Kong Sheng was summoned by the king of Yu, and he also had his own complicated audience procedures.

Li Xuan only wears loose men's clothes to hide her graceful figure deeply, and now she changes into a women's palace skirt, and the skirt of the neon dress is swaying on the ground, with plump shoulders and plump shoulders, and her body swaying like the wind caressing the willows, with an indescribable graceful style.

Kong Sheng followed behind, his eyes sometimes swept over her amorous back, and sometimes he glanced at the surrounding palace environment with carved beams and painted columns, and gradually abandoned a variety of chaotic distractions.

King Yu summoned him, either as a matter of routine, or because he listened to Li Xuan's recommendation and deliberately solicited him. And eighty percent, Li Fuguo will be present.

Really. In the main hall of the palace, sitting on the main seat is naturally King Li Ju. And Li Fuguo, as the first guest of honor, is next to him in the distinguished guest seat. In the next two rows, there are Jiangbei civil and military bureaucrats such as Li Chuan, the prince of Yu, Xue Sheng, the Shou of Pengcheng County, Du Ping, the general of Xuanwei from the fourth grade, one of the main generals of the Jiangbei Army, and Song An, the general of Guide Zhonglang from the fourth rank.

Li Xuan's seat is opposite Li Chuan, which shows how glorious her status is. The left side is headed by Li Chuan, while the right row is headed by Li Xuan. Although she is only the lord of the clan, according to common sense, the status of the prince is too far away, but she is the lord of Zhaoming who has been treated by the emperor as a princess, and she participates in important military and political affairs, and her position in the hierarchy system of the prince is actually no less than that of the prince Li Chuan.

Li Xuan was the first to enter the main hall, she smiled at Li Ju, and then returned to her seat. Her brother and son, Li Chuan, glanced at her, and a trace of indifference in his eyes flashed.

Kong Sheng settled down, walked in slowly and calmly, and when he got closer, he bowed deeply: "Songcheng County, Suiyang Prefecture, Xiaguan Henan Province, ordered Kong Sheng to meet His Royal Highness King Yu, Li Gong, my lords, and generals!" ”

Li Ju, the king of Yu, looked at Kong Sheng, this year is a well-dressed society, and what is important is the posture crown, seeing that Kong Sheng is young and upright, elegant and elegant, Li Ju has a natural good impression, so he laughed loudly and said: "No courtesy, look at the seat." ”

He looked at the seat, and others said that it was okay, and Li Chuan, the prince of the world, couldn't help frowning. (To be continued.) )
