Chapter 593: Young and Brave (5)

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

The Lin De Hall was full of people, and the Tang magnates who participated in the banquet exchanged their heads and ears to each other, and their contemptuous eyes were projected on Mo Yansi and others, the so-called phoenix that landed was not as good as a chicken, and now it is no longer the Mo Yansi of the Hui Khan, and in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty ministers, it is a hostage.

In the eyes of many people, there is no need for the emperor to treat Mo Yan and these people too highly, and he gave a mansion in Chang'an, and took care of them with good food and drink, so that they could honestly stay in Chang'an even if they were worthy of the Hui people.

When Zhu Huiguang's shrill voice spread in the main hall, all the courtiers and dignitaries stood up to greet him, and the emperor walked quickly to his own supreme seat, while the surrounding courtiers shouted and bowed.

Mo Yansi and the leaders of the Hui tribes also reluctantly got up and bowed down with the courtiers. Gu Yun gritted his teeth, forced himself to suppress his unhappy emotions, and also saluted the emperor with a sip.

"Everyone, please take your seats." The emperor smiled slightly, waved his hand, and looked at Mo Yan and greeted him with a sip on his chin: "Mo Yan Si Khan arrived in Beijing, and I wanted to go out of the city to greet him, but I suddenly felt unwell, so I asked the prince to go to greet him. ”

The emperor, in fact, this is nothing more than a kind remark. But although the Hui people are tigers and wolves, to be honest, their minds and things are relatively simple, either/or, and there are no these false twists and turns in their stomachs, so the emperor's kind words are slightly excited when they listen to Mo Yan's ears.

At least, the Tang Emperor still respected and courteous him very much, and even went out of the city to greet him in person!

"Your Majesty personally greeted you, where does Mo Yansi dare to be? Since he was canonized by the Tang Emperor ten years ago, this is the first time he has entered Chang'an to see the face of the Tang Emperor, which is really emotional. Mo Yan sipped out of the liebai and went down, his voice slightly complicated with emotion.

Ten years ago, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji canonized him as a heroic khan and gave him many treasures. He used the support of the Tang Dynasty to quickly quell the opposition at home and secure the throne of the Khan. Strictly speaking, Mo Yansi can also be regarded as a pro-Tang Khan, but as his reign reached the end, he was too deeply influenced by Gu Lulu and others, and had to make concessions in many things.

Of course, the most important thing is that the national strength of Datang is weakened due to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, and its weight in Mo Yansi's heart is constantly weakening. That's the crux of the matter.

If it was ten years ago, even if he was given ten dares, he would not dare to lead an army of 100,000 Chen soldiers and Lingwu to blackmail the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and his relatives.

The emperor smiled: "Khan, please, in the future, you stay in Chang'an, but you can always enter the palace to meet me - come to someone, give Mo Yan a gold medal to the Khan, enter and leave the palace at any time, see me without bowing, enter the palace and travel horses." Tell the world that Moyan Si Khan enjoys the same honor guard as the crown prince, with 500 guards and 200 female eunuchs in the palace. The Khan's Mansion is supplied by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and if there is any slackness, I will not spare it! ”

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he gave Mo Yansi many privileges, but for the Hui people, these privileges were equal to nothing, they were confined in Chang'an City, and there were Tang people everywhere to watch, and they lost their freedom at all. What can a high-ranking prisoner do if he is driven by the emperor? That's still a prisoner.

Mo Yan sobbed sadly, but had to thank Emperor Longen, and then returned to his seat.

Seeing his father Khan in such a mood, the irritable Gu Yun finally couldn't help it. In fact, the main purpose of her coming to Chang'an to enter the palace this time was to meet the Tang Emperor, and then according to what Ouyang Fan taught her beforehand, she would act in a half-truth in front of the emperor, nothing more.

said that it was a half-truth, mainly because of Gu Yun's character.

The emperor was about to announce the opening of the banquet, when he suddenly saw a young woman dressed as a Hui woman hurriedly walking out, and the Chang'an magnates present were taken aback, and the corners of Mo Yan's mouth trembled slightly, but he still sped up his pace to return to his seat, and did not immediately stop Gu Yun's actions.

Mo Yansi was naturally unwilling to be imprisoned in Chang'an as a hostage, and even more unwilling to let his sweat fall into Ye Hu's hands, even though Ye Hu was his son. This Gu Yun was ordered by Ouyang Fan to come to Chang'an to rescue, no matter whether it succeeds or not, let Gu Yun give it a try.

The emperor turned his head to look at Gu Yun, and saw that this woman was beautiful, graceful and fit, wearing a close-fitting suit common to the Hui nobles, and the upper body was also covered with leather armor similar to a modern vest, highlighting her graceful figure. It's just that in the emperor's eyes, this woman is beautiful, but there is a kind of wild wildness hidden in the beauty, which makes him dislike.

The emperor knew that this was the righteous daughter Gu Yun of Mo Yansi, the princess of Hui Hui, but he still asked Shen Sheng knowingly: "Today, I set up a banquet to entertain the Hui Khan and the leaders of the Hui tribes, who are you?" ”

Gu Yun knew that there was the Tang Emperor in front of her, and no matter how straight she was, she knew that she couldn't be rude, so she bowed down to the emperor and made a return courtesy, but raised her head and said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I am the daughter of Hui Khan Mo Yansi, Hui Princess Gu Yun!" ”

The emperor pretended to be stunned, looked around and said in surprise: "Why did Princess Hui also enter the capital with the Moyan Si Khan?" ”

Li Mi and Du Hong gradually laughed in their hearts, and said in their hearts that the emperor can really make a show, this prince took Princess Hui into the palace and obviously went to ask to see him, but the emperor still pretended not to know, it was really ...... Li Mi and the others suddenly realized that the emperor's performance today was a little unusual.

Li Yu stepped forward and said: "Father, the princess Guyun of Hui entered Beijing on the order of Hui Ye Hu Khan, one is to worship her father, and the other is to have a major grievance and want to complain in front of her father!" ”

The emperor sighed, and didn't pay attention to Li Yu anymore, but turned his head to look at Gu Yun and said lightly: "Princess Hui, you came to see me, what's the matter?" ”

Gu Yun remembered that her father Khan Mo Yansi and others were forced into Chang'an by Kong Sheng's coercion, and thought of those Hui soldiers who died because of Kong Sheng's bombardment, her heart was suddenly filled with righteous indignation, her face was solemn and she said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Chang'an Hou Kong Sheng used swords and soldiers to bombard Helan Fort, resulting in the tragic death of thousands of my Hui soldiers, and then at the foot of Helan Mountain, he sent troops to besiege my father Khan, forced my father Khan to abdicate, and also falsely passed on the edict of His Majesty the Emperor to forcibly take my father Khan and others into Chang'an, please Your Majesty call the shots, severely punish the traitor Kong Sheng, and let my father Khan return to Mobei!" ”

The magnates present gasped when they heard this.

In fact, no one could guess that Kong Sheng must have used force, or even violence, otherwise how could the Hui people be so obedient. But no one expected that Kong Sheng would use artifact artillery to bombard Helan Fort and kill thousands of Hui soldiers, and also sent troops to besiege Hui Khan Mo Yan Si to force him to abdicate.

Many people began to look around, but there was no trace of Kong Sheng.

The emperor's expression remained unchanged, he looked at Mo Yan and said lightly: "Mo Yan Si Khan, is what Princess Guyun said true?" ”

Mo Yan sighed and bowed on the spot, and behind him, the leaders of the Hui tribes fell to the ground, and the Hui people wailed and said: "Please also ask His Majesty the Emperor to call the shots, severely punish the traitor Kong Sheng, and wait for me to wait for justice!" ”

This group of Hui people shouted in the main hall, and a few of them wept bitterly, which immediately destroyed the harmonious atmosphere of the banquet. The emperor frowned, and before he could say anything, Li Yu had already stood up and said loudly: "Father, if this matter is true, Kong Sheng has already committed a capital crime by falsely passing on his father's edict and using swords and soldiers without permission!" ”

The prince stood up and sang and harmonized with the Hui people, and the Chang'an magnates were unhappy. Even the people of the prince's family are a little embarrassed because of this, and they say in their hearts, the prince, the prince, you have to distinguish the inside and the outside and the severity, no matter what, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can you stand on the side of the Hui people? This is what Kong Sheng has done, but in the end, it still shows the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and achieves the goal of calming down the troubles on the border of Huifu, and the merit outweighs the fault.

The emperor smiled faintly: "Prince, in your opinion, what should I do?" ”

Li Yu subconsciously said aloud: "According to what Erchen has seen, since Hui Mo Yan Si Khan and Princess Guyun sued the emperor in front of their father, then this matter should be handed over to the three divisions for trial to find out the truth, if it is true, Kong Sheng should be severely punished to set an example, and also return an explanation, so as not to destroy the friendly alliance between the two countries." ”

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, and his voice became a little cold: "What about after that?" What to do? ”

Li Yu was speechless for a while.

He suddenly reacted, the emperor was angrily reminding him: What can you do to find out the truth, do you really want to let these people go back to Mobei? As a result, the good situation will be completely destroyed, and it is obvious that the border troubles will return, so what will happen at that time? Will we continue to bow our heads to the Uighurs, continue to give them benefits, and maintain the so-called friendship between the two countries by relying on interests and harmony?

Li Yu knew that he had committed a big taboo, so he immediately shut up and retreated silently.

Li Mi said: "Your Majesty, although the prince's words are reasonable, but after all, these are all one-sided words, what is the truth, just summon Chang'an Hou into the palace to confront him face to face, and you can know by asking." ”

The emperor nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Xuan Chang'an waits for Kong Sheng!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Kong Sheng walked slowly into the hall, in fact, he rushed outside the hall just now, and happened to hear Li Yu's words. Li Yu's mentality of disregarding the overall interests of the country because of his personal selfish interests made Kong Sheng angry.

It's just that he is calm on the outside.

Kong Sheng walked slowly into the hall and greeted the emperor under the gaze of everyone.

The corners of the emperor's mouth provoked a strange arc, and he threw a meaningful glance at Kong Sheng. Kong Sheng nodded without a trace, and the emperor straightened his waist and said lightly: "Kong Sheng, Princess Hui Guyun accused me of falsely passing on my edict, using swords and soldiers, bombarding Helan Fort, causing thousands of Hui soldiers to die unexpectedly, and coercing Moyan Si Khan to abdicate and make way for Xian, is it true?" ”

Just when everyone thought that Kong Sheng would definitely defend himself, they heard Kong Sheng calmly reply: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister did bombard Helan Fort, and also exterminated thousands of Hui soldiers outside Lingwu City and in Helan Fort, and when Mo Yan Si Khan abdicated to make way for Xian, Chen did lead the forbidden army of 5,000 people to besiege it. ”

Everyone let out one exclamation after another, and Kong Sheng actually admitted all of them.

Li Mi and Du Hong gradually secretly complained, Kong Sheng, Kong Sheng, are you crazy? This kind of thing can only be done but not said, especially in front of the Hui people, as long as you shirk all of them and deny them, even if it is the crown prince Li Yu, there is nothing you can do. It can't really be submitted to the three divisions for review to find out what is right and wrong.

The emperor's expression turned cold, and he said angrily: "Kong Sheng, you are so bold, you dare to use artillery without permission, use swords and soldiers against Hui Hui, and even threaten Hui Khan to abdicate!" If you admit it, how can I spare you?! ”

Li Yu sneered, and said in his heart that this kid actually admitted it in public, but it also saved a lot of tongue and thoughts in the palace, it seems that this guy has been arrogant to the point of being dizzy. (To be continued.) )
