Li Heng sighed lightly, and the sigh echoed in the empty hall for a long time: "Kong Sheng, although I am the emperor, I am also helpless many times. ” "You have no foundation in the court, and now you have offended the king of Chu, tomorrow I will summon you to the court, but at the court meeting, I am afraid that many people will do everything possible to prevent me from rewarding you, I hope you have a mental preparation."
Li Heng waved his hand, and the sleeves of his robe were flying.
Kong Sheng bowed down: "Keep it in mind. ” "At all times, you must remember that I trust you."
Li Heng smiled slightly, and suddenly said: "I heard that you are training in Xiayi, and with 2,000 people, you have trained a brave army of tens of thousands of people, and you are invincible in Henan."
Kong Sheng's heart moved, and he secretly figured out the emperor's true thoughts, maintaining due respect and silence.
"If it is me" Li Heng stared at Kong Sheng deeply, and said word by word: "If I transfer the Xiayi army to Chang'an, and specialize in guarding the palace ban, what do you think?"
Kong Sheng suddenly realized.
The emperor couldn't trust the Chang'an forbidden army controlled by Li Jiao, and he was worried about his personal safety, trying to transform the Xiayi army into his own emperor's army.
At present, the armies of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are nominally under the command of Li Jiao, and the forbidden army guarding Chang'an is directly under the leadership of Li Jiao.
Depriving Li Jiao and even Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others of their military power, Li Heng does not dare at present, and once he makes a move, it will inevitably cause a strong backlash.
Kong Sheng knew that he could neither refuse to agree, nor promise too quickly, otherwise it would still arouse the emperor's suspicion.
He pretended to mutter, and said softly: "Your Majesty, although the Xiayi army has only been formed for a short time, it has been tempered by many battle formations in Henan, and its combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's soldiers and horses, and even surpasses it.
But " "But what," Li Heng's eyes were blazing.
"There is no doubt about the overall loyalty of the Xia Yi army to His Majesty and the imperial court, but after all, the origin of the Xia Yi army is very complicated, there are Xi soldiers, rebel prisoners, and reckless people in the rivers and lakes.
Kong Sheng said softly.
Li Heng laughed: "It's okay.
Half of the Chang'an forbidden army were rebel captives and surrendered, which was nothing.
As long as you are loyal to me, that's enough.
I don't hesitate to trust, I don't hesitate to reward, I don't hesitate to rely on it, do you understand what I mean?"
Kong Sheng nodded slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister understands."
But the Xiayi army is a local army after all, and if it is suddenly transferred to Chang'an, I am afraid that there will be a lot of resistance in the court, and at the same time, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not easy to talk to."
Kong Sheng deliberately wanted to speak and stopped.
Sure enough, Li Heng's expression became gloomy.
After a while, he smiled coldly and said: "I am in the palace, like being in a trap cage, worrying day and night in my heart, you see how lonely I am in this palace, no one can be trusted, no one can speak considerately, no one can worry about Kong Sheng for me, I will issue an edict to transfer the Xiayi army and the Jiangbei army to the west to assist Guo Ziyi's army to quell the rebellion."
"Kong Sheng, I will give you a secret decree, if necessary, you will transfer the Xiayi army to me directly into Chang'an, take over the defense of Chang'an, and replace the forbidden army of the king of Chu" Li Heng took a secret decree that had been prepared from the imperial case on one side and handed it to Kong Sheng.
Kong Sheng bowed to the ground and took Li Heng's holy decree.
At this moment, he really realized how anxious and uncomfortable the current emperor was.
The eldest son of the emperor with military merits and military power is becoming more and more vigorous, and he should not be the prince who will not give up, and many meritorious generals are proud of their achievements and form parties for personal gain, and their influence cannot be underestimated.
One carelessness and the emperor will be ousted.
This is not something sensational.
Li Longji's heart is not dead, and it is possible that he will be restored.
The eldest son of the emperor, Li Jiao, is bound to win the position of the crown prince, and the situation is about to erupt.
King Zhao and Li took Murong Chong to wait outside the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial City.
Seeing Kong Sheng walking slowly, Li hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Kong Sheng's arm and said eagerly: "Kong Sheng, are you okay?"
Li's sincerity is beyond words.
In the case that Kong Sheng and Li Jiao, the king of Chu, are in a situation where they are in flames, the Li family can still openly stand on Kong Sheng's side, which is actually taking a considerable political risk.
From this point of view, there is no need to doubt the sincerity of the Li family in making Kong Sheng as a friend.
Kong Sheng was slightly moved, and said with a smile: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, Your Majesty summoned me to the palace and did not condemn me." ” Li was overjoyed and waved his hand: "Let's go, get on the king's car, this king will hold a banquet on the side of the Qujiang Pond in Furong Garden today to catch you and wash the dust."
Kong Sheng shook his head slightly and sighed lightly: "Your Highness, the lower official has a feud with the King of Chu, and he really doesn't want to implicate His Highness anymore."
His Royal Highness's hospitality, the lower officials understood it. ” Li Department frowned and said in a deep voice: "Kong Sheng, this king is not afraid of him, you and I have a personal relationship, we are sitting upright, what are you afraid of, no matter how powerful he is, he can't act recklessly."
Kong Sheng looked at Li Department deeply, but still shook his head and said: "Your Highness, it's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, it's that Kong doesn't want to make any more extraneous branches, and at the same time, he doesn't want to cause trouble to His Highness."
Your Majesty has a decree to let Kong stay in the post house, Kong is going to the post house, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me one or two."
Kong Sheng bowed to Li and went down: "Please rest assured, since Your Highness treats me with sincerity, I will treat Your Highness with sincerity."
This will not change at any time. ” Li Xian's eyes were fiery, he grabbed Kong Sheng's hand tightly, and nodded slowly: "Okay."
Kong Sheng, as soon as you and I fall in love at first sight, from today onwards, you and I have a private relationship, which has nothing to do with the government and has nothing to do with identity, in Chang'an City, as long as I have King Zhao here, I will never let you suffer."

Kong Sheng and Li looked at each other and laughed.
Murong Chong watched from the side, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He had a strong premonition in his heart that being able to meet and become friends with Kong Sheng was the greatest luck and opportunity in the life of Zhao Wang and Li.
No matter how the situation changes in the future, who the imperial power belongs to, but at least there is a friend like Kong Sheng who can be reassured, and the Li family is worthy of this life.
Kong Sheng said goodbye to Li and went to the Chang'an Post House alone.
And Wuxian Wuxie, with more than 100 of his guards, was secretly placed in a manor outside the city of Zhao Wang Li.
Kong Sheng closed the door when he entered the post house, Mu Changfeng was worried about his safety, so he simply sat down cross-legged at his door and guarded day and night, no matter how Kong Sheng persuaded him, Mu Changfeng did not listen.
In the evening, in the post house room, Kong Sheng stared at the secret decree given by the emperor under the fire candle and muttered silently.
Don't look at what the emperor said seems to be quite "pitiful", in fact, Kong Sheng knows in his heart that the emperor already has a mysterious power in his hands, and he has secretly gathered many strange people and strange people to hide in the shadows, guarding his safety as his eyes and ears.
It's just that such a force cannot be compared with a formed army.
This was the real purpose of the emperor's attempt to reorganize the Xiayi army as a whole into the emperor's pro-army.
No one knows that Kong Sheng also secretly discussed some deep-seated things with the emperor in the Hanyuan Palace, for the current Chang'an City and the Tang Dynasty, this is definitely a secret in the secret, and the emperor even avoided Li Fuguo, so you can imagine its importance.
Kong Sheng felt a little weird.
Li Heng's idea of setting up a secret service agency exclusive to the emperor and wielding considerable authority was almost the same as that of the later Jinyiwei.
Li Heng tried to get Kong Sheng to secretly take the lead in forming two military forces loyal to the emperor, one was the emperor's pro-army on the surface, and the other was the underground dark blade that could not be made public for the time being, to implement the emperor's decisions, implement the emperor's ideas, remove the emperor's obstacles, and defend the authority of the emperor and the emperor himself.
Therefore, when Kong Sheng said the basic operation mode of Jinyiwei in the later generations, Li Heng was overjoyed, and the two coincided.
This is not Li Heng's innovation.
As early as the time of Wu Zetian, there was a similar system of secret institutions and military forces under the control of the emperor, but the scale was not large, and the authority in his hands was far from being comparable to that of the Jinyi Guards of later generations. oshow7 t1706231537:
