Luoyang.
Kong Sheng had been quietly waiting for the emperor's summons.
In addition to defending the city, the Xia Yi army practiced and lived a peaceful and fulfilling life.
On the third day of October, on the day when Li Jiao led the army to enter the city, Kong Sheng received two secret letters from Fengxiang.
One is Li Fuguo, and the other is the Li line of Zhao Wang, who is even more unfamiliar to him, and the second son of Li Heng.
Although Li Fuguo and Li Department said in the letter that they had different starting points and end points, they probably meant that they had the same goal, and they were nothing more than showing goodwill, hinting at them, and winning them over.
After reading these two letters, Kong Sheng's face became a little gloomy.
The situation at the court was even more sinister than he had imagined.
Because he has no foundation in the DPRK and China, he may face a very difficult situation in the future.
However, the only thing to be thankful for is that Kong Sheng finally made adjustments to his life plan and decisively gave up taking the lead in seizing Chang'an City.
Because it was the emperor's eldest son Li Jiao who led Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's two armies, if he robbed the prince of the merits, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.
For Li Jiao, Kong Sheng knows that this is the future Tang Dynasty Sect Li Yu.
On the morning of the fourth day of October, Kong Sheng led the army to inspect the city tower in accordance with regulations.
I saw a team of flags flying from the direction of Chang'an in the distance, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, and the smoke and dust in the sky almost covered the brilliant autumn sun.
Kong Sheng knew that Zhang Hao, the Huaizhou Taishou sent by the imperial court to take over Luoyang, was here.
Kong Sheng slowly turned his head and cast a deep glance at Tang Genshui and the others, and said quietly: "Genshui, under the order, the people of the whole city will not go out to welcome the imperial soldiers and horses into the city."
Tang Genshui took the order and left.
Kong Sheng said softly to Nanji Yunnan Yong's father and son: "General Nanba, the gold, silver, jewelry, property, and some grain and grass left by the rebels that Kong asked you to collect have been prepared."
Nan Jiyun bowed down: "Lord Taishou, the last general has been prepared, but the last general doesn't understand, is it that my lord is preparing to enter the imperial court?"
Kong Sheng's eyes flashed with helplessness and complexity, and he shook his head lightly and said, "Don't ask more, this official is also prepared, I hope I don't need it." ” Nan Jiyun frowned, but he didn't dare to ask any more.
Kong Sheng waved his hand: "Everyone, go out of the city with this official to welcome the imperial court."
At noon, Zhang Hao, the special envoy of the imperial court and the new Taishou of Luoyang, led an army of 10,000 to Luoyang.
Zhang Haoyuan obeyed orders under Li Jiao's account and made meritorious contributions, but now he has been reappointed as the military and political chief of Luoyang, so he naturally has some proud confidence.
For Kong Sheng, he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.
Although Kong Sheng also tossed a lot of moves in Henan, for these generals in the army, the battle situation in Henan was just a small fight, and it was nothing compared with the overall situation of Li Jiao leading the army as the main force to suppress the rebellion.
Kong Sheng turned over and dismounted, and took the initiative to lead the generals under his command to bow to Zhang Hao and said, "Kong has seen Master Zhang."
Zhang Hao laughed, also turned over and dismounted, and hugged his fists reservedly: "I have long heard that Kong Taishou is young and promising, and when I saw it today, it really deserved his reputation." ” Kong Sheng smiled slightly: "Lord Zhang has won the prize." ” Kong Sheng was about to let Zhang Hao and his party into the city to talk again, but unexpectedly, Zhang Hao took out the imperial court's Zhao from his arms on the spot, raised his hands high, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has Zhao, Songzhou Taishou Kong Sheng and others receive the order" Kong Sheng frowned slightly, but he still had to bow down: "The minister accepts the order" Zhang Hao proudly announced the emperor's will, and after the announcement, Kong Sheng could still hold his breath, but Tang Genshui's subordinates couldn't hold their breath.
Did the emperor take the wrong medicine to make the Xiayi army have made great achievements, and even recovered the eastern capital Luoyang, but the emperor issued an edict to let the Xiayi army retreat to the territory and hand over the defense of Luoyang to a foreign Zhang Hao As for the reward, it's even more outrageous.
The emperor canonized Helan Jinming as the envoy of Henan Festival and the title of Shangshu.
Zhang Xun is the Taishou of Bozhou and the middle of the imperial history.
Xu Yuan was the deputy chief of the Songzhou Taishou and Henan Provincial Soldiers and Horses, and controlled the Xiayi military horses.
Nan Jiyun was the overseer of Henan and the general of the rangers, and Nangong Wang was the commander of Xiayi County in the record of Song Zhouxing.
Tang Genshui, Nan Yong, Li Biao, Li Hu, Wu Xian and Wu Xie and other troops will be guerrilla generals under the five grades.
Canonized Sulu, the prince of Xixi, as the king of Ningcheng County and the Taishou of Yanzhou.
Zhao ordered the soldiers and horses of Xixi to temporarily accept the command of the Henan Jiedu envoy, and they could choose the opportunity to return to their hometown of Yanzhou in the future.
Kong Sheng's subordinates all received basically satisfactory rewards, only Kong Sheng, who was actually dismissed from his post and handed over military power to Xu Yuan, who was far away in Xiayi, only got a strange order of "going to Chang'an to see the driver".
This made Tang Genshui and others resentful.
Kong Sheng's face did not change, and he glanced back at Tang Genshui and the others who were about to move, and shook his head.
Tang Genshui and the others took a deep breath, gritted their teeth, and each lowered their heads, clenching their fists.
"Master Kong, take the order."
Zhang Hao said indifferently.
Kong Sheng smiled, and calmly accepted the holy decree that almost deposed him.
He turned around and said, "Lord Zhang, please go into the city, please allow Kong to have two days to hand over the defense of Luoyang." ” Zhang Hao smiled faintly: "Okay, I hope that Master Kong will properly hand over the defense to this official as soon as possible, and then leave Luoyang as soon as possible and go to Chang'an to face the saint." ” Kong Sheng nodded, turned around, and took the lead.
Nan Yong walked to his side, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of the anger that flashed on Kong Sheng's face.
Speaking realistically, Kong Sheng never expected that the court and the emperor would turn a blind eye to such an earth-shattering exploit and directly take away his military power.

It was much worse than he had envisioned, and he was somewhat caught off guard.
What's the problem, Kong Sheng walked quickly while thinking about countermeasures.
The lack of foundation in the DPRK and China has aroused the envy of many people, and these are not the key to the problem.
Then the light in Kong Sheng's eyes became colder and colder, and at this time, what swept in his heart was not panic but more calm and rational.
He suddenly realized that Emperor Li Heng had seized his military power and summoned himself to Chang'an, which on the surface seemed to be the result of causing suspicion and courtier disputes, but in fact it was related to the prince's seizure of the throne.
Kong Sheng has never been a person who sits still, and now it is only a temporary setback, and it is nothing at all.
There are probably only two results of going to Chang'an.
First, he regained military power, served in local feudal towns, and continued to participate in counterinsurgency; Second, he was canonized as an idle official or even a knight, and his rank was certainly not low, but he was kept in captivity in the capital and became a chess piece secretly arranged and used by the emperor.
Tang Suzong Li Heng does not seem to be as simple as recorded in the history books.
If this is the case, it is dangerous to go to Chang'an, but at the same time, there are also greater opportunities.
As soon as Kong Sheng thought of this, a cold smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and he immediately made up his mind.
Zhang Hao and Kong Sheng walked side by side, but a trace of wonder passed through their hearts.
If according to ordinary people's thinking, Kong Sheng was so snubbed by the imperial court, even if he would not break out on the spot, he would be resentful, but Kong Sheng looked as usual, just this calmness and city government, Zhang Hao felt that Kong Sheng was not simple. oshow7 t1706231537:
