A fast horse galloped through the market, passing through the streets and shops, causing the crowd to dodge.
On horseback, a middle-aged short and fat bearded man wearing a brocade robe was far away on the horse, panting and shouting: "Stop" Li Jiao turned his head and glanced at it, and saw that it was Li Fuguo, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and said in his heart Where did Li Fuguo come from, what did he do Li Jiao suddenly remembered that Li Fuguo had asked for credit for Kong Sheng that day, and his heart suddenly sank.
However, many people in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were afraid of Li Fuguo's power, but Li Jiao was fearless.
Fear is fear, but not fear.
This is related to Li Jiao's mastery of military power and the canonization of the prince, as well as Li Jiao's personality.
Li Jiao is a very proud and self-esteem person, as the eldest son of the emperor, in his eyes, no matter how powerful Li Fuguo is, he is just a slave lackey.
Li Fuguo galloped to the front, hugged his fist to Li Jiao and gasped: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the miscellaneous family is polite."
Li Li smiled faintly: "Manager Li doesn't have to be polite, where are you coming from?"
Li Fuguo took a deep breath, and the complicated afterglow in the corner of his eyes swept over Kong Sheng, who was still facing dozens of guards, and sighed: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Your Majesty has a decree, immediately summon Kong Sheng into the palace to see him, this is His Majesty's gold medal, and please His Royal Highness the King of Chu don't stop it."
Li Fuguo took out a gold medal from his arms and raised it to Li Li.
Li Jiao's face changed suddenly, and he immediately bowed down on the horse and hugged his fists in salute.
A storm that could have caused earth-shattering changes was invisibly eliminated because of the arrival of Li Fuguo.
However, Kong Sheng clashed with the unspeakable King of Chu on the street, resisted the arrest of dozens of guards with the strength of one person, and finally succeeded in getting out of the palace to face the saint, but it went out of nowhere, and immediately became the talk of the people in the streets and alleys.
The ability of the peddler's pawn to "tell stories" as the main channel for information dissemination has been passed on by countless people, and Kong Sheng's performance at that time has been exaggerated to the fullest, and even made up various jokes by many good deeds to spread throughout the city, causing great shock.
The values of the common people in the market are very different from those of the powerful.
Most of the people in the market stood on Kong Sheng's side, and most of the people in the market thought that Kong Sheng was unhappy; In the case of the powerful people of the dynasty, Kong Sheng's behavior went to the other extreme, in a word, in the words of Huang Changzhi, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, "bold and arrogant".
There is no theory of who is who is going to come to this matter, and it seems to be over.
In the eyes of many people, since the emperor issued an edict to save Kong Sheng, then Kong Sheng will inevitably be given an explanation in the future; But in the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, there may be a deep meaning behind the emperor's sudden appearance, but it is impossible to say that the emperor will stand on Kong Sheng's side and ask the king of Chu to blame.
Of course, whether it is the common people or the powerful, there is one thing in common, after this incident, Kong Sheng and the king of Chu have become incompatible, with the favored power of the king of Chu today, I am afraid that Kong Sheng will have a sad life in the court in the future.
Daming Palace, including Yuan Palace.
Li Heng was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, wearing a winged crown, standing on the imperial platform, staring at Kong Sheng and saying in a deep voice: "Kong Sheng, your courage is not small, you dare to clash with the king of Chu in public, is this a pride in your own merits?"
Kong Sheng's mood at the moment had already calmed down.
The reason why he dared to confront Li Jiao in the street, in addition to anger, the most important factor was that he knew that the emperor would eventually come forward.
But he knew in his heart that the imperial power was supreme, and it was impossible for the emperor not to favor his son, even if Li Jiao was arrogant and rude, he was also an important member of the Li Tang royal family, and he was also the successor that Li Heng was preparing to cultivate.
Kong Sheng bowed deeply and said softly: "Your Majesty, the minister is young and impulsive, please punish Your Majesty."
Li Heng looked at Kong Sheng deeply, and suddenly laughed after a long time: "Kong Sheng, don't worry, Li Jiao's behavior is also inappropriate, since I summoned you to the palace, I will not cure your crimes."
However, if it weren't for this, I would have forgotten that you would still be a seventeen-year-old boy after all."
"But I have high hopes for you, and I want to entrust you with important tasks, so don't be so reckless and impulsive in the future."
Li Heng said again.
Kong Sheng bowed again, but sneered in his heart.
The emperor is suspicious, which is almost a common problem, and if he shows some human weaknesses when he is not right, I am afraid that the emperor will not feel at ease.
"However, the King of Chu is the head of all the princes, and I don't want the confrontation between you and the King of Chu, and I will take the opportunity to resolve the disagreement between you in the future."
Li Heng's understated voice came into Kong Sheng's ears, and Kong Sheng said in his heart, Isn't this exactly the result you want to see Kong Sheng knows Li Heng's complicated true mentality too well at the moment.
On the one hand, he was ready to set up Li Li as the prince, but he was worried that Li Li's power would be too big and expand, thus endangering his throne, so he had secretly cultivated Li Li's opposite, and Kong Sheng may be one of the chess pieces he laid out.
The longer he was emperor, the greater his desire for power to centralize power, there is no doubt about it.
No one can resist this kind of supreme glorious temptation of monopolizing and exalting the power that commands the world to live and die.
Therefore, although Li Heng was the victim of the year and once held a grudge against his father Li Longji's actions, in the end, he became the emperor and re-embarked on Li Longji's old path.
The means he is using now and the layout in the shadows, once realized, are actually better than Li Longji.
Li Heng's throne was not easy to come by, which can understand his incomparable importance and extreme sensitivity to the throne, in fact, surpassing his father Li Longji and even his grandfather and several generations of emperors.
The power of the emperor's eldest son Li Jiao, the high achievements of generals such as Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, and the foreseeable behind-the-scenes infiltration of the emperor Li Longji are all major threats in Li Heng's eyes.
Don't look at him, as an emperor, he is actually subject to many constraints.
The real power is in the hands of Li Jiao and others, scattered in the hands of the ministers of civil and military affairs, so many times he, the emperor, seems quite helpless in the court.
Let's talk about welcoming Li Longji back to the court, where is his original intention, after all, he was still invisibly coerced by some courtiers who supported the emperor.
Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi once wrote twice, asking him to issue an edict to welcome the emperor back to the court.
From this point of view, Li Heng must secretly cultivate his own absolute power.

Whether it is the government or the army, he needs a group of vassals loyal to the emperor to eliminate some potential hidden dangers.
Li Heng has been paying attention to Kong Sheng for a long time.
When he came from Henan, he had a deeper thought.
And all the past can be regarded as his observation and investigation of Kong Sheng.
Kong Sheng is both civil and military, his literary name moves the world, and he has the reputation of being an enemy of ten thousand people, and more importantly, he is still young and does not belong to the category of any party's forces, such a person in Li Heng's opinion, as long as he gives grace, it is easy to become his hardcore henchman.
Therefore, Kong Sheng became an irreplaceable and important chess piece in Li Heng's chess game.
Although Li Heng didn't know it, Kong Sheng's chess piece was actually the most difficult to control. oshow7 t1706231537:
