Chapter 378: Who is the final winner 8 The teahouse was empty, and both the shopkeeper and the guys were replaced by the guards of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion.
It's just that these guards don't know that their Hou Ye secretly arranged an afternoon here, and what they want to see is sacred.
The purple-shirted scholar came in, and Kong Sheng, who had been waiting for a long time, turned around and bowed: "Minister Kong Sheng, long live my emperor" It turned out to be the present day Long live, His Majesty the Emperor Several guards of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion on standby in the teahouse were dumbfounded, and immediately fell to their respective posts in a panic, and fell to the ground in silence.
It turned out to be the emperor The emperor and Chang'an Hou chose to meet in such an extremely secret place outside the palace, even if a fool can understand it, this matter should be very confidential, otherwise why would the emperor and Chang'an Hou be so troublesome "Kong Sheng, don't be polite.
This place is not in the palace, there are only you and me, so there is no need to be formal.
The emperor smiled slightly, waved his hand, sat down in front of a desk at will, and motioned for Kong Sheng to sit down as well: "Come, sit down and talk to me." ” Kong Sheng hesitated for a moment, but he was not polite, and sat opposite the emperor.
He waved his hand back, and all the guards quietly got up and exited the teahouse.
The emperor went out of the palace to discuss confidential matters with Chang'an, how could they, the subordinates, dare to watch and listen, this is looking for their own death The seventh figure of the black-clothed warrior flashed, carefully inspected all the corners of the teahouse, and determined that there were no hidden dangers that posed a threat to the emperor's safety, so he sat silently under the corner, looking at his nose and nose and his heart and bowing his head silently, like a sculpture.
Where the emperor is there, even if it is Kong Sheng, who is trusted by the emperor, it is impossible for the black-clothed warrior to give up his personal protection.
In fact, even in the palace, as long as there is an emperor in the place, there is a hidden existence of a black-clothed samurai behind it.
From beginning to end, Kong Sheng didn't look at the black-clothed warrior, as if the "seventh" didn't exist.
Kong Sheng had heard of this mysterious force around the emperor, but he had never asked half a sentence.
When it was time to speak, the emperor would naturally say that since the emperor had not pierced this layer of window paper so far, Kong Sheng would not be uninteresting.
It is useless to ask too much, and it is not beneficial for him to know more about the emperor's privacy.
The more secrets he has of the emperor, the more he will arouse the emperor's jealousy in the future.
Li Heng sighed lightly: "Kong Sheng, I have to go out of the palace to meet you this time, do you know why?"
Kong Sheng smiled: "Please forgive the minister for being bold and outspoken."
It should be that His Majesty is not relieved, worried that the King of Chu is about to move. ” The smile on Li Heng's face faded: "That's right, I have no way out."
At the moment when I left the palace, the twelve guards of the Southern Ya Forbidden Army and the main generals of the four armies of the North Gate gathered in the Chu Palace, Kong Sheng, do you say that I can rest assured?"
The corners of Kong Sheng's mouth twitched: "The king of Chu may be prepared, but it is just a precaution, and the minister expects that the king of Chu will not be able to go that far." ” Li Heng smiled coldly: "Maybe, but for this son, I know him better than anyone else."
Besides, I can't put my own safety in his hands, and the more unscrupulous he is, the more determined I must be."
What the emperor was going to decide to do, he didn't say.
But there are some things that don't need to be said explicitly, just a little bit of it.
"Your Majesty, by no means.
It is not a day's work for the king of Chu to control the forbidden army, and if His Majesty forcibly issues an edict to reduce power, the greatest possibility is to force the king of Chu to rebel.
Today's Datang is stormy and can no longer withstand any turmoil.
Kong Sheng said softly: "Compared with forcibly seizing power, the minister thinks that Your Majesty why not push the boat down the river and satisfy the thoughts of the king of Chu." ” Li Heng's face changed suddenly, and his eyes became extremely sharp and gloomy: "Kong Sheng, you are so bold, are you going to let me jump into the abyss, do you know that if the King of Chu becomes the prince, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will completely become a vassal of the East Palace, then, is it necessary for me to exist as the emperor?"
Although Li Li won the support of most of the courtiers, it cannot be ruled out that there are still a few people who are still waiting and watching.
But if Li Jiao becomes the real prince, especially in today's situation, he will coerce the emperor to take the throne, I am afraid that no one will hesitate again, and there will definitely be a one-sided situation.
Everyone will be loyal to the crown prince Li Jiao, and as for the emperor's life to be more difficult, or even completely empty, it is just around the corner.
Kong Sheng chuckled: "May I ask Your Majesty, is there any difference between His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the Crown Prince Now In fact, in the eyes of the minister, the King of Chu is now more powerful than entering the East Palace, in this case, it is better to give him what he is determined to get, what he wants to get at all costs, to him in his so-called position to seek his own government, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can he be as unscrupulous as now" Li Heng pondered for a long time, his expression changed, and finally slowly calmed down.
He stared at Kong Sheng deeply, but avoided the topic and said: "Kong Sheng, do you think which of my two sons is more suitable for the Tang Emperor?"
Kong Sheng did not hesitate: "Li Li, the king of Chu." ” Li Heng raised his eyebrows: "Well, what do you say?"
Kong Sheng smiled: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is a martial artist, mature and steady, decisive and ruthless, good at controlling people's hearts, and has all the basic qualities of being an emperor.
Compared with the King of Chu, the King of Zhao and the Li Department are more than generous, but they are not ruthless enough, and from the current point of view, it is difficult to become a big weapon. ” Li Heng gasped: "Then, why do you still support the Li family instead of Li Jiao?"
"The reason is very simple, in the minister's opinion, what Your Majesty needs at present is the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, not the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the world is controlled by His Majesty.
In the future, His Majesty will have time to slowly and calmly train the prince and train him to become a qualified Tang Emperor.
Kong Sheng smiled slightly: "King Zhao may not be competent at the moment, but sooner or later, he will grow up."
Therefore, the minister supported King Zhao.
Generosity is King Zhao's biggest weakness, but it is also his greatest strength, at least, he can be a prince and keep his own orders only from His Majesty's orders. ” Li Heng's eyes flashed with a strong light: "Kong Sheng, you really have unique insights and can know what others can't."
You know my son better than I do. ” "However, even though I have the heart to support King Zhao, he is still too immature compared to King Chu.
I tried to order him to lead the army to go out and replace Li Jiao several times, but I still couldn't make up my mind.
The king of Chu is waiting for my decision, and I know very well in my heart that this time, the king of Chu is determined to force me to send him to the East Palace. ” Kong Sheng snorted: "So Your Majesty is going to make the final decision, and if you continue to make a decision, you will suffer from it." ” "What should I do?"
Kong Sheng smiled, suddenly picked up the pen and wrote a line of words on the desk in front of the emperor, and then gently pushed it in front of the emperor's eyes.
Li Heng stared deeply at the lines of words in front of him, and the strange look and cold look on his face were intertwined, and he was silent for a long time.

Kong Sheng didn't urge, and waited quietly.
For the emperor and for the Tang Dynasty, what Kong Sheng wrote on a piece of paper was actually an earth-shattering change, how could it be so easy to make Li Heng make up his mind.
The wind howled outside, flying sand and stones, knocking on the door of the teahouse.
Li Heng sighed lightly, "Kong Sheng, I want a certain number when I can act." ” "Two days later.
At that time, at the great court meeting, I will enter the palace to face the saint.
Kong Sheng got up slowly and bowed down: "Respectfully send Your Majesty back to the palace" Li Heng clapped his hands, got up and turned around to walk lightly, but stopped when he walked to the door and said with a smile: "Kong Sheng, I entrust you with such a big matter, and the lives of you and my monarchs and ministers are all in your hands, so you can't afford to be careless."
Do you understand what I say?"
Kong Sheng bowed: "The minister should do his best to go to the soup and die for His Majesty."
Li Heng laughed: "Kong Sheng, the day it is done, that is, when you and my monarchs and ministers drink and talk happily in Daming Palace, I can promise you, as long as I am the emperor for one day, you will be my eternal minister, and you will be favored by me, if you violate this oath, heaven and earth will not tolerate it."
The ancients attached great importance to the affairs of ghosts and gods and oaths, and the emperor actually made an oath that he would never fail each other, which was obviously just to reassure Kong Sheng.
Kong Sheng believes in Li Heng's sincerity at the moment.
But no one knows how long this sincerity will last.
For the future that is too long, Kong Sheng can't care so much.
Anyway, he is a person who is used to living in the present, and at present, it is in his political interests to assist Li Heng to control the power and win the country, and to support the Li family of Zhao Wang Li to replace Li Jiao, the king of Chu.
That being the case, he had nothing to hesitate about.
Zhao Wangfu.
Li Ji walked around the hall with a gloomy expression, Princess Ning Guo and Princess Ji Guo looked at each other, I don't know why King Zhao is so anxious today.
After retiring from the dynasty, the Li family of King Zhao has been immersed in a state of worry, he has a strong premonition, the king of Chu has been unable to hold back, the current calm Chang'an City has long been surging murderous momentum, and once what he expected happened, the first to suffer from it was his Zhao Wang line.
If the two sides maintained relative stability before, there was a layer of window paper and fig leaf that no one wanted to take the initiative to pierce in the middle, but today because of King Zhao's initiative and the emperor's ambiguous attitude, it will undoubtedly greatly stimulate the King of Chu to take risks.
However, the Li family's understanding of Li Li is actually superficial.
As Kong Sheng judged, until the last moment of life and death, Li Jiao will definitely not take the last step, although he has been making all kinds of preparations all the time for the arrival of that day, and he has made all kinds of preparations.
But from the standpoint of the Li family, what he was most worried about was that the king of Chu would embark on the decisive path of Emperor Taizong's death.
Once this is the case, he, the king of Zhao, who poses the greatest threat to the king of Chu ascending the throne and becoming emperor, is the biggest victim.
Just think about the crown prince Li Jiancheng back then.
But Li is helpless in the face of a perceptible crisis.
He can't do anything now, and anything drastic will become the fuse that stimulates King Chu's ruthlessness. oshow7 t1706231537:
