Chapter 6043: The Storm of Leaving Beijing Rises Again 6 Everyone left the palace, but the emperor secretly left Li Mi and Du Hongjian behind his back, and discussed secretly with the two confidants and ministers in the imperial study.
Before discussing with Li Mi and Du Hongji, the emperor asked Zhu Huiguang to find a palace miscellaneous eunuch who was familiar with the Uighur language, culture and customs, and asked about it, and probably understood why Gu Yun claimed to be humiliated, and why he wanted to fight Kong Sheng to the death.
It's just that Gu Yun's strong temperament not only shocked the emperor, but also made the emperor feel very uncomfortable. has just established a friendly alliance with the Hui, but if the princess of the Huihui dies on her Jinluan Palace, even if there is a reason, it will greatly arouse the resistance and even hatred of the Huihui people towards the Tang Dynasty.
The emperor didn't care about the life or death of a bone cloud, but he couldn't help but consider the overall emotional appeal of the Hui people.
Because Kong Sheng bombarded Helan Fort, there were more dead Hui people, but the Hui people didn't have the slightest bit of hatred, the reason is very simple, because the two armies were hostile and fighting, casualties were inevitable, and it was Gu Lu and Yidi Jian who took the initiative to provoke first.
But the matter of Guyun is different.
Gu Yun appeared at the official state banquet of the emperor to entertain Mo Yansi and others after the establishment of a friendship alliance between the two countries, and if Gu Yun was allowed to crash into the pillar and die, it was likely to arouse the hatred of the Hui people.
So the emperor had to be cautious.
Li Mi and Du Hong gradually understood what the emperor was doing when they left them, so they glanced at each other, and Li Mi took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, from the courtier's point of view, this matter of Princess Su seems to be a trivial matter, but if it is not handled properly, it will easily cause the two countries to fight each other. ” "That Mo Yansi and others were left in Chang'an by my Tang Dynasty as hostages, although the Hui people had to obey, but there must be resentment in their hearts.
Now if something happens to the princess in Chang'an, the Hui people will definitely hold a grudge.
Although Yehu Khan is close to our dynasty, the various tribes of the Hui have always acted independently, and they do not listen to the announcement.
If the conflict intensifies because of this trivial matter, it will also be a major hidden danger for my Datang.
Du Hong gradually said, echoing Li Mi's words.
The emperor took a deep breath and said with some irritation: "I understand, so I deliberately left the two Aiqing behind to discuss how to deal with the aftermath.
Although Kong Sheng made great contributions to the imperial court this time, he also caused me a lot of trouble, which made me have a headache when I thought about it. ” Mo Yansi and others were taken hostage by Kong Sheng to Chang'an in disguised form by forceful means, which can be regarded as breaking the wrist and relieving pain in the long run, but for the time being, the emperor still has to appease the Hui people and stabilize people's hearts.
Therefore, the emperor has not yet made up his mind on how to reward and dispose of Mo Yansi and others.
The previous edict was just a transition.
There is no problem with keeping them in captivity.
However, after all, these people were the core political figures before the Hui Hui, and they were inextricably linked with various forces in the Hui country, and it is unrealistic to completely restrict their personal freedom.
"Tell me what I should do," the Emperor said slowly.
Li Mi pondered for a while, and said with a light smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is easy to deal with in the aftermath, in the opinion of the minister, it is better for Your Majesty to come forward to marry Princess Hui to Kong Sheng, and the two can be regarded as not knowing each other, a fate."
His Majesty has issued an edict to canonize the granddaughter of His Royal Highness King Shou as a princess and marry Ye Hu Khan as his wife.
"Marriage" The emperor couldn't help frowning, he remembered that he gave Princess Ji Guo to Kong Sheng that day, Kong Sheng resisted the decree and did not come from a turmoil: "He has proposed to me that this time he will marry the Yang daughter when he returns to Jiangnan, at this time, I will marry the princess of the Yang family for him, isn't it boring for me to marry the princess of Hui Moreover, in my opinion, the princess is full of resentment towards Kong Sheng, and the two are in the same situation, how can they be husband and wife."
"Your Majesty, Kong Sheng is now the king of Jiangning County, according to the regulations, the county king's mansion of Nuoda can still accommodate three or five wives."
Li Mi smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the customs of the Hui people this time are a little strange, like the situation between Princess Hui and Kong Sheng, unless Princess Hui marries Kong Sheng, she can only take Kong Sheng's life in a fair life-and-death duel, or commit suicide."
It's better to let the ministers and others be peacemakers, say and make peace, one can turn the conflict into a jade silk, and the other can help add a friendly alliance between Hui and the Tang Dynasty, the best of both worlds, why not" The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched: "Li Mi, if you can convince Kong Sheng, I will issue an edict to grant marriage."
As for the Hui people, presumably the Mo Yan Si still didn't dare to resist my edict."
Du Hong gradually laughed lightly: "Your Majesty, please be relieved, the king of Jiangning County, the old minister will persuade you."
In the eyes of the old minister, although the king of Kong Jun is young, he understands the righteousness and knows that taking into account the overall situation, it must not be a personal grudge between him and Princess Hui, but a national event related to the friendship between the two countries and the protection of thousands of Li people from the scourge of swords and soldiers, so the old minister thinks that King Kong Jun will definitely accept this marriage. ” The emperor raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "I hope so."
This matter is tentative, you two go your separate ways, go" Kong Sheng left the palace and returned to his long-lost Chang'an Marquis Mansion.
He has just been canonized as the king of Jiangning County, although he is in a town outside the domain, but there will still be a mansion in the capital, and it will not be long before the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion will be renamed the Jiangning County Palace.
Not long after Kong Sheng entered the door, the guards came to report that His Royal Highness King Zhao and Princess Ning Guo and Princess Ji Guo had arrived.
A faint brilliance flashed in Kong Sheng's eyes.
Because he was deprived of military power and deposed from Beijing by the emperor in disguise, in the eyes of many Chang'an magnates, this is almost equivalent to another form of political exile, so some of the courtiers and generals who were originally close to Chang'an Houfu have become invisible and alienated, although they are still very polite on the surface, but there is a certain gap between words and deeds, Kong Sheng can see it at a glance, but he doesn't care.
King Zhao and Princess Ji Guo also attended this state banquet and witnessed everything with their own eyes.
Princess Ningguo was unwell, and her status as a princess had just been lifted, and it was not appropriate to attend the state banquet to invite the Khan before returning to Hui, so she stayed in the mansion.
Since the last time King Zhao led the army to go on the expedition, Kong Sheng has never seen each other with the Li family, and this time he seems to have been degraded, Kong Sheng originally thought that King Zhao would not be able to escape the world's nest, and now he has the false name of the county king and has no real power.
But King Zhao and Ji Guo Ningguo still came and took the initiative to come to the door, and Kong Sheng was slightly relieved in his heart.
It's not that he hopes that King Zhao can come, or that he can continue to make friends with King Zhao, but that it proves that his judgment of King Zhao's Li family is not wrong, such a person may not be a good political ally, but he will definitely be a trustworthy friend.
Kong Sheng greeted him out of the mansion with a smile, and met the three people of Zhao Wang and Li who came into the door at the middle gate.
King Zhao Li laughed: "Congratulations to Brother Kong, now that he has been promoted to the king of the county, the title is the same as that of a certain family, it won't take long for this Chang'an Marquis Mansion to become the palace of Jiangning County."
There was a hint of sincerity in Li's eyes.
He was originally indifferent, and his covetousness for the throne was slightly weak.
It was only later that as the second son of the emperor, after his eldest son Li Yu was listed as an invisible opponent, he was forced to embark on the whirlpool of imperial power disputes.
Because the Li family understands very well that no matter how much he has no quarrel with the world, as long as Li Yu is in power in the future, he will be the first to suppress or even destroy his own line, because he poses the greatest threat to Li Yu's imperial power.

Since he wants to compete for the throne, then, there must be helpers.
Kong Sheng was naturally one of his targets.
But Li is a cheerful person and treats people sincerely, even if he uses it, he will put it on the table, and he will not make any small moves behind his back, which is his strength and his shortcoming, so as to compete with Li Yu for the throne, obviously the chance of winning is very small.
In the heart of the Li family, Kong Sheng is first and foremost a friend worth making, and secondly, a force that can be used.
Therefore, Kong Sheng was seized power by the emperor and released, although Li was disappointed in his heart, he was not so alienated from Kong Sheng because of this.
Kong Sheng smiled slightly: "Your Highness has not seen you for a long time, but your demeanor is still the same, Kong Sheng has heard that His Highness has been in Luoyang in Chang'an, and he is really honored in his heart." ” Li Ji smiled slightly and said with a bitter smile: "Brother, what you said is a little insincere.
After this experience, I also saw the door to myself clearly, in terms of leading troops to fight, I am indeed inferior to the prince's brother, and I can't admit it.
Besides, I am in Luoyang, and it seems that I am in charge of the army, but Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others under my command are fighting separately, these people are veteran generals in the army, all of them are majestic, and they have their own opinions, and I, the nominal commander, actually can't command them at all.
Of course, maybe in the eyes of the generals, I, the king of Zhao, am completely just talking on paper and don't know how to plan, so hey" "I am in Luoyang, and I can only say that I have more than enough success, and I have no merit.
Even if my father doesn't transfer me back to Beijing, I am ashamed to take the initiative to resign from the position so that the court can choose another master, so as not to delay the achievements and national affairs. ” Kong Sheng smiled, the reason why Li was recognized and appreciated by him was that he was honest and never fake, he could recognize his shortcomings and never avoid it, which was actually the most commendable.
Kong Sheng's evaluation of the Li family is that the Li department is not as good as Li Yu, but he is a thousand times better than Li Yu in life.
Of course, to be an emperor, it is most suitable for Li Yu.
"Your Highness doesn't have to be too humble, the so-called once born and twice matured, this matter of leading the army to fight also needs to be experienced, and the next time His Highness leads the army to go out, he will definitely be familiar with the road."
Kong Sheng arched his hand and smiled.
Li shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There will definitely be no next time, my father has been disappointed in me, and from now on, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to lead the army again."
But it doesn't matter, I'm not that piece of material in the first place, if I have to catch ducks on the shelves, it can only be a misguided country and a misunderstanding of the people, so if I don't go, I still stay in the capital honestly and be my idle prince."
Li Xian's eyes flashed, but he was vague.
Kong Sheng knew that although the Li family was concerned about the fact that he had no military achievements in Luoyang, because the crown prince Li Yu was expelled by the emperor and imprisoned in Lishan, his idea of competing for the throne became even stronger.
Speaking of a normal mentality, since the crown prince is suspected of being deposed, as the second son of the emperor, he is the most qualified candidate to replace Li Yu, of course.
Kong Sheng knew very well that the emperor did not put Li series on the list of candidates for the crown prince.
In other words, although the emperor suppressed the crown prince, at least for the time being, he had no intention of abolishing the prince.
It's just that his results today are ruthless, giving a wrong signal to many people, including the Li family.
But Kong Sheng did not break this layer of window paper.
There are some things that are better than being confused than being clear. oshow7 t1706231537:
