Chapter 612 The World is Hot and Cool and the Dog Jumps Over the Wall 9 In the end, Meng Ke thought of a compromise.
The two went to ask for the Li family, the king of Zhao, who had a good relationship with Kong Sheng, and the Li department came forward to invite Kong Sheng to the banquet and said that he would mediate, and the matter would be settled.
Li Ju, the king of Yu, felt that it was feasible, so he personally went to the palace of King Zhao.
After all, they are the same sect, and it is difficult for the Li family to refuse Li Ju's request because of the situation, so he had to set up a banquet in Qujiangchi in his own name, invite Kong Sheng to the banquet, and then prepare to be a peacemaker for both parties.
It stands to reason that this is the conventional solution.
And from Kong Sheng's point of view, it is impossible for him to detain the prince of Yu Wang and the son of Meng Ke for a long time, one is illegal, and the other will not turn against the two families because of this.
But Li Chuan and Meng Zan can't be let go like this, otherwise, many people in the government and the opposition will think that he is easy to bully, Kong Sheng is not afraid, but he may bring a lot of trouble in the future.
After receiving the invitation from the Li family, Kong Sheng knew that the Li family was entrusted by someone, so he agreed.
If things go on such a trajectory and direction, this turmoil will come to an end.
But the crux of the matter is that things are often unpredictable.
When Kong Sheng went to Qujiangchi to attend the banquet of King Li of Zhao, the envoy of the old emperor Li Longji entered Chang'an City from outside the Anping Gate and headed towards the imperial city.
The old emperor has never entered Chang'an City for half a step since he lived in the Lishan Palace, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the father and son.
Qujiang Pond goes to a scenic spot in the south of Chang'an City, and it is also a regular place for Chang'an magnates and literati to drink and feast.
The royal banquet is generally in the Hibiscus Garden.
Tang people's good wine banquet, this has become the only and indispensable social occasion in the Tang Dynasty high society, throughout the vast sea of Tang poems, many are related to Qujiang Pond, which shows the popularity of this place.
However, because it is early winter, the weather is gradually getting colder, after the winter rain a few days ago, the Qujiang pond is bleak and lonely, and there is a layer of slender fallen leaves floating on the water surface, and there is no scenery at all.
And because the main purpose of this banquet is to mediate the conflict, it is not appropriate to have too many people, so the people invited by King Zhao and Li are only three or five people, in addition to Kong Sheng, Meng Ke and King Yu, Li Yu was also invited.
It's just that Li Mi didn't show up, and according to the family's report, he was summoned into the palace by the emperor halfway to discuss state affairs.
The banquet was held in the Qujiang Pavilion by the Qujiang Pond.
King Li of Zhao is located in the main seat, Li Ju, the king of Yu, is at the head on the left, and Kong Sheng's position is at the head of the right, and Li Mi and Yin Mengke of Jingzhao Mansion are further divided into left and right.
Kong Sheng came slowly, he didn't squint, and bowed to Li Xian: "Kong Mou to meet His Highness" Li Ji chuckled: "King Kongjun, please take a seat." ” Kong Sheng ignored the existence of Li Ju and Meng Ke, the king of Yu, and sat with a blank face.
For King Yu, there was originally some old feelings, and there was an intersection in Pengcheng in the past, but later King Yu and his son Li Chuan repeatedly provoked, Kong Sheng did not have a good impression of King Yu, and of course he did not have a bad feeling.
Li Chuan took refuge in the crown prince Li Yu, and slandered and attacked the Marquis of Chang'an behind his back, Kong Sheng kept it in mind, remembered the affection of Li Xuan, the lord of Fengyang, and maintained due restraint.
Only this time, Li Chuan was too presumptuous, and he actually stirred up trouble in front of Kong Sheng's mansion, which angered Kong Sheng.
As for Yin Mengke of Jingzhao Mansion, he didn't have much contact with Kong Sheng, but he didn't have any disputes.
It's just that Meng Ke's son was arrogant and domineering this time, and together with Li Chuan, he still angered Kong Sheng after all, and he is still imprisoned in the firewood room in Kong Sheng's mansion with Li Chuan.
Kong Sheng had already made up his mind to kill the chickens and monkeys and establish his authority through Li Chuan and Meng Zan, so although he was invited to the banquet, he did not intend to give in easily.
In other words, if Yu Wangfu and Meng Ke did not pay a certain price, Kong Sheng would never release these two well-known nobles in Chang'an City.
Kong Sheng was not afraid that King Yu and Meng Ke would turn their faces.
Even if it makes trouble to the emperor, he has no fear.
No matter how big the storm is, Kong Sheng has experienced it, this little thing is nothing Li Ju's face was a little unsightly.
He felt that he was a member of the royal family, and he was still the elder of the current emperor, so he thought that Kong Sheng would meet him in person, but he didn't expect Kong Sheng to ignore him, and completely regarded him as non-existent air.
Meng Ke took the initiative to give up his hand in embarrassment: "Xiaguan has seen King Kongjun. ” Kong Sheng said lightly: "Kong doesn't have much contact with Master Meng, but if you think about it carefully, there should be no grudges."
It's just that I don't know why, why did Master Meng provoke trouble in front of Kong's mansion, not only insulting Kong, but also openly teasing the maids around Kong, which is really incomprehensible to Kong. ” Meng Ke knew that he was at a loss, so he quickly got up and apologized with a smile: "The county king, the dog is stubborn and ignorant, and he dares to make trouble in front of the county king's mansion, which really makes Meng embarrassed.
Meng did not know about this matter, and now on behalf of the dog, he apologized to the king of the county, and asked the king of the county to forgive the dog for the sake of you and me as officials in the same dynasty, and Meng will be strictly controlled in the future. ” Meng Ke's posture was very low, firstly, his original grade was much lower than Kong Sheng, and secondly, he was afraid of Kong Sheng, knowing that people like Kong Sheng could not be enemies, and offending Kong Sheng was not a good thing for the Meng family.
More importantly, Meng Zan made mistakes first, if he didn't lower his profile, Kong Shengyan would be able to give up King Zhao Li smiled slightly: "Brother, for the sake of this king, I will spare Meng Zan that kid once Meng Ke is an honest official, but he has no way to teach his son, and before you came, this king counted him down a few times." ” Kong Sheng smiled indifferently: "The son of the Meng family made trouble in front of Kong's door and humiliated Kong, Kong was helpless, so he took him down, which can be regarded as disciplining Master Meng."
Since Lord Meng apologized in person, and His Royal Highness King Zhao made it clear, Kong didn't care about himself, so he turned around and let him go.
However, I also ask Lord Meng to tell Ling Lang that if there is a next time, he will bear the consequences."
Meng Ke let out a sigh of relief, although Kong Sheng's tone was very stiff and faceless, but after all, he still agreed to release Meng Zan, and the matter was over.
Meng Ke was going to comprehend Meng Zan and then give Kong Sheng some gifts, which could be regarded as an apology and reparation.
But Li Ju, the king of Yu, can't be as low-profile as Meng Ke.
There are some soft words that he will never be able to say.
Zhao Wang Li turned his head to look at King Yu, and said in his heart that you still need to take the initiative to admit your mistake in this matter, otherwise with Kong Sheng's temper and style, how could he stop here.
But Li Ju's face was gloomy, and he sat there with a cold face, and he didn't speak.
Kong Sheng sneered and was silent.

Ahem King Zhao cleared his throat and said with a wry smile helplessly: "King Yu, in the eyes of this king, Li Chuan has indeed gone too far, Kong Sheng's county prince's mansion is no longer supposed to make noise, and it is even more illegal to hurt people and molest maids at the exit, it is better for this king to be a peacemaker, King Yu apologized to King Kong Jun in person, thinking that Li Chuan is a first offense, and this matter will not be mentioned." ” Li is giving Li Ju a step down. oshow7 t1706231537:
