Chapter 642 Jiangning Junwang 2 Liu Xinru hesitated at the entrance of the alley for a long time, but she still didn't have the courage to enter the ancestral house of the Kong family today.
It's not that I'm afraid of Kong Sheng's power, nor I'm scared by the two rows of murderous guards in front of the mansion, but I don't know what to say when I see Kong Sheng, and if I lose my temper.
At that time, the scoundrel Kong Sheng pestered her in every way, and then the scoundrel became the first genius in Jiangnan with great literary talents, and redeemed her after moving Jiangnan, and the woman's heart and tenderness were tied to this young man.
It's just that later the circumstances were different, and she lived in the Yang family, so she knew that she and Kong Sheng had no chance.
But a woman like Liu Xinru, whose heart is higher than the sky and whose life is thinner than paper, although she has fallen into the dust, is not comparable to a humble girl like Kapok, she has been silent in the Yang family, and has been cautious by Yang Xueruo's side for several years, but after all, she still has a thousand knots in her heart, and it is difficult to let go.
And now that Kong Sheng has returned to Jiangnan, the first time she got the news, her whole heart was in chaos.
But Kapok didn't care about that, and he didn't think too much about it.
The Cotton Tree simply swaggered into the Kong family alone, and the guards at the door questioned, and she said loudly with a pretty face: "The slave family is the maid next to Miss Yangfu, and she has come to deliver a letter for my young lady, and I would like to ask you to report it." ” When Kong Sheng heard the news, he smiled and waved his hand: "Let her in." ” Under the guidance of the guards, the red cotton entered the Kong family briskly.
The house of the Kong family is actually not big, from the outer courtyard through a secluded path, not long into the inner courtyard, at a glance I saw Kong Sheng standing in the courtyard, wearing a blue plain shirt and moving like a mountain.
Compared with a few years ago, Kong Sheng is still elegant and heroic, but he has a majesty and domineering that is difficult to describe in words.
When Kong Sheng slowly turned around and cast a deep gaze on the red cotton, the little girl couldn't help but hang her head, and saluted obediently and said respectfully: "The red cotton has seen the king of the county."
Kong Sheng smiled indifferently: "Cotton Tree, did Xue Ruo let you come?"
Hongmian snorted, took out Yang Xueruo's letter from his arms and handed it over: "This is a handwritten letter from our young lady." ” Kong Sheng took the letter, but did not open it.
He didn't actually have to look at it to know what was written in it.
What Yang Xueruo is worried about is nothing more than that she will hold a grudge against the Yang family, and so on.
Kong Sheng held the letter in his hand and remained silent.
Hongmian was a little uneasy in her heart, she secretly raised her head to look at Kong Sheng's solemn and deep face, and her heart couldn't help but sink: "Could it be that this Kong family Xiaolang really has a grudge against the Yang family, if this is the case, how can the young lady deal with herself in the future?"
"Back then, I fought in Henan, went to quell the rebellion, and it was difficult to communicate with Jiangnan.
And then I entered Chang'an, and all kinds of circumstances are indescribable.
Jiangnan and Chang'an Mountain are far away, the road is blocked, and it is my fault that I did not send someone to send a message back to Jiangnan.
But over the years, I have been thinking about it all the time, and Xueruo is waiting for me to return in Jiangnan.
It's just that I didn't expect Xue Ruo to be under so much pressure for this, and it's my fault.
Kong Sheng's clear and long voice clearly entered the ears of the red cotton.
"My mistakes, I will spend my life to make amends.
And since Xue Ruo has never forgotten her original intention to me, then I will never abandon her.
As for anything else, don't worry. ” Kong Sheng sighed lightly: "Hongmian, tell Xue Ruo my words as they are, and she will understand my mind."
That's the answer she wants.
You go back."
The red cotton was quickly spewed.
"If you don't forget your original intention, I won't give up" Liu Xinru's heart was agitated, silently reciting Kong Sheng's words in her heart, following behind the red cotton, and hurriedly returned to Yang's mansion.
She knew that this was of course the answer Yang Xueruo wanted.
Kapok didn't understand this, but Liu Xinru sensed Kong Sheng's intentions.
Inside the main hall of the Yang Mansion.
Yang Qi walked around the hall with a gloomy expression, pacing back and forth, his mood heavy to the extreme.
Yang Qi never imagined that Kong Sheng would return to his hometown in such a way, not only holding the position of the king of the county, but also leading the military and political power of Jiangnan Province and Shannan Province.
In fact, Yang Qi also felt that Kong Sheng's talent had an unlimited future, and at that time, he once wanted to win over Kong Sheng for his own use, and it was also the key to Yang Qi's acquiescence to his daughter's private alliance with Kong Sheng.
But as time passed, Kong Sheng never returned.
Although various rumors about Kong Sheng can occasionally be transmitted back to Jiangning, after all, the sky is high and the road is far away, and the affairs of Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty are still a little too far away and too far away for the people in Jiangnan.
What's more, Kong Sheng has not been heard from for several years.
This made Yang Qi faintly think that Kong Sheng's so-called alliance with his daughter in the past was just a joke on the spot, and he couldn't take it seriously, I'm afraid Kong Sheng himself didn't take it seriously.
In addition, Xue Long's father and son took the initiative to propose marriage, and mistakenly believed the news that Kong Sheng was deposed by the emperor, so Yang Qi gradually moved his heart to marry the Xue family.
This is an objective factor.
Of course, the subjective factor is that Yang Qi and his wife are cold and thin by nature, and it is already a life instinct to become inflammatory.
It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, it doesn't matter what is right or wrong, in short, it's a natural meaning engraved into the blood of his life.
The marriage of a daughter is not simply a marriage, but also an exchange of political interests.

Compared with Kong Sheng, whose whereabouts are unknown and his future is uncertain, he naturally chooses the Shannan Xue family, which is opposite to the Yang family.
Even if Kong Sheng is in a high position, if he can't bring substantial benefits to the Yang family, then Yang Qi will still choose the Xue family, which has more profit prospects.
Not to mention that if Kong Sheng was deposed by the emperor and reduced to a commoner with a bleak future, the Yang family would naturally not be able to marry him, because this would bring invisible disasters and risks to the Yang family.
So Kong Sheng came suddenly, and under the premise that Yang Qi thought that Kong Sheng was demoted back to Jiangning by the emperor, this happened the previous unbearable scene.
Zheng's mood was even more depressed and complicated, and even a little panicked.
For Kong Sheng, she has always looked down on her, and she has endless contempt.
Later, Kong Sheng suddenly changed from a scoundrel who didn't learn anything to an earth-shattering talent, and his daughter was overwhelmed by Kong Sheng's talent, and Zheng slowly changed.
She originally thought that Kong Sheng was ordered by the emperor to go out that day, and if he could mix with an official and a half-job, he could barely be worthy of his daughter, and although she was not satisfied, she was still dissatisfied, but she could barely accept it.
But Kong Sheng gradually disappeared, and all kinds of rumors flew all over the sky, and when the Zheng family got the wrong information from the Xue family and mistakenly thought it was true, all kinds of contempt for Kong Sheng in his heart came to his heart again.
At this time, Xue Feng, the son of Xue Long, appeared.
Xue Feng's family background, talent, and appearance are all the best choices, and the Zheng family did not hesitate to fall to Xue Feng.
Kong Sheng suddenly appeared at Yang Qi's birthday banquet, in front of Xue Long's father and son, with Zheng's person, he would naturally do his best to humiliate Kong Sheng.
But Kong Sheng turned into the powerful king of Jiangning County, and this time, even his own envoy Yang Qi and Shannan Domain Town Xue Long became Kong Sheng's subordinate officials, and the Zheng family was stunned, and it was inevitable that he would be uneasy.
She feared Kong Sheng's retaliation.
Don't talk about the Yang family, it is Xue Long's father and son, and now it is estimated that they are sincerely afraid that they don't know how to make up for making up for befriending Kong Sheng in exchange for forgiveness.
"Husband, it's all the concubine's fault, but the concubine never expected that this little guy of the Kong family would actually leap into the dragon gate," Zheng said softly.
But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yang Qishengsheng: "Madam, be cautious that he is now the king of Jiangning County, leading two military and political affairs, and holding a high and powerful position, he is no longer the lonely seedling of the Kong family in the past."
Yang Qi sighed: "It's also the old man's impatience and short-sightedness.
Thinking that he has made outstanding achievements in countering the rebellion in Henan, and is quite valued by His Majesty, even if there is a slight mistake, it will definitely not be erased to the end He is now returning to Jiangning, and he wants to marry Xue Ruo, which is a great joy for our Yang family, but hey" Zheng said hurriedly: "Husband, he is now the king of the county, and even you have to be controlled by him, if he participates in your copy to the court, I am afraid that he will let his daughter come forward."
Yang Qi shook his head: "He is no longer the Kong Sheng of the past, and for the sake of his daughter, he may not be embarrassed by the old man."
But at most, the old man will go to go in person, and it is a big deal to apologize to him, the old man is also his elder, and he can bear the old man."
Zheng fell silent.
Yang Qi shouted softly: "Yang Kuan" Yang Kuan, the chief butler of the Yang Mansion, hurriedly walked in from outside the door, bowed down and said respectfully: "Master" "What is the current trend of the King of Kongkongjun," Yang Qi said softly.
Yang Kuan's expression was slightly strange, and he said in a low voice: "Back to the master, the uncle of the Kong family is now leading the guard of honor into the ancestral house of the Kong family, I heard that he is going to set up the county king's mansion here, and the little one is about to report to the master, is it not to arrange people to help the uncle of the Kong family repair and transform the county palace." ” Yang Qi was silent for a moment before he said: "He is the king of Jiangning County canonized by the imperial court, he opened a mansion in Jiangning, and the yamen naturally can't sit idly by."
The old man then ordered to go down and arrange manpower and property for the king of Kong to repair and renovate the palace, in addition, Yang Kuan, you allocate 20 maids and servants from the palace to wait for the king of the county, and then send 10,000 yuan of money to the past, just say that it is a little heart of the old man and his wife, and open the palace for the king of the county. ” "King Kong came to Jiangning from the capital from afar, and as soon as he applied it, he was transferred from the house." 10,000 yuan is also a relatively large amount for the Yang family.
Yang Qi was able to come up with so much money at once, which was also a disguised atonement to a certain extent.
But on the other hand, Kong Sheng, as the canonized county king of the imperial court, the local government has the obligation and responsibility to bear the expenses of opening the government.
If you use the public's money to do your favor, Yang Qi will still calculate this account.
The corners of Zheng's mouth twitched, somewhat distressed.
But she also understands that this money cannot be saved, and if the relationship with Kong Sheng can be improved, this can be regarded as a dowry for her daughter, and it will have its own return in the future.
As the biggest dignitary in Jiangnan, Kong Sheng's leakage in the future will be enough for the Yang family to get a piece of the pie.
Yang Kuan went as promised.
Yang Qi looked at Yang Kuan's departing back, and a trace of helplessness slowly rose at the corner of his mouth.
He wanted Yang Kuan to test Kong Sheng's reaction, if Kong Sheng could accept it, it meant that there was still a chance for the relationship between the two sides to improve, and if Kong Sheng's attitude was fierce, he might have to let his daughter come forward in person.
In the past, after the Confucian family, Kong Sheng and Kong Sheng, the first genius in Jiangnan, returned to their hometowns in fine clothes, as Jiangning, the king of Jiangning County, Jiangning, this is a major event in the entire Jiangning County and even Jiangnan, and the news spread to all parts of Jiangnan in the shortest possible time, shaking the whole city of Jiangning.
The alley where the old house of the Kong family was located was surrounded by the people of Jiangning businessmen who came to see the excitement, and the scene was full of people.
Outside the door of the ancestral house of the Confucian family, two rows of fierce guards were solemn on both sides, and the golden plaque of "Jiangning County Palace" inscribed by the emperor has been hung, and according to the regulations, since this alley is where the county king's mansion is located, other mansions cannot be allowed to exist, and the mouth of the alley must also set up the manger archway of the county king's mansion.
Kong Sheng stood in the courtyard of his old house, looking up at the clear blue sky and the red sun hanging on the clear sky.
The old house returned, and Kong Sheng's mood was slightly emotional.
Although from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't have a deep sense of belonging here, but after all, this is his ancestral home in this life, and Jiangning is also his hometown.
This time, he was in Jiangning, which can be said to be a political strategy of Kong Sheng to retreat into advance.
One is that his merits are getting higher and higher, and there are already signs of high merit shocking the lord, if he continues to stay in the capital, don't say that the ministers are jealous, even if the emperor has been a long time, it is inevitable that he will have some suspicions.
The second is to be an official in Beijing, no matter how high the official position is, it is a chess piece in the emperor's hands, as a tool for the emperor to consolidate his rule, which is actually not conducive to Kong Sheng's long-term development.
Secondly, the choice to return to Jiangnan was actually a hint from the emperor.
The Central Plains rebelled, the south of the Yangtze River was peaceful, and it was prosperous as usual.

The emperor was actually a little worried about the Jiangnan lands that were difficult to control, and once the border troubles of Huifu were solved, Shi Siming's side no longer posed a mortal threat, and the emperor began to consider passing through the granary of Jiangnan.
And Kong Sheng is undoubtedly the most suitable and competent candidate.
Giving Kong Sheng the military and political power to take over the two provinces of Jiangnan, Shannan and Nan, to put it bluntly, the emperor could not trust Yang Qi and Xue Long, and intended to let Kong Sheng form an effective balance between these two.
In the emperor's opinion, with Kong Sheng's skill, it won't be long before the two roads of Jiangnan and Shannan will become areas where the imperial court decrees are unimpeded.
The emperor may have deeper considerations, but no one knows about it for the time being.
Therefore, Kong Sheng and the emperor can be said to hit it off.
As for the Yang family's, Kong Sheng really didn't pay much attention to it.
He knows the temperament of the Yang family's husband and wife, if he is a commoner now, he and Yang Xueruo will definitely fly separately from Lao Yan, and they will not be able to achieve good results.
But there are not so many assumptions in this world, and he naturally does not bother with a hypothetical proposition that does not exist.
In fact, what the Yang family did was also the style of many powerful people, not only the Yang family.
The state of the world is like this, and Kong Sheng will not be too entangled.
Besides, there is Yang Xueruo here, no matter how unbearable Yang Qi and his wife are, they are both Yang Xueruo's biological parents, Kong Sheng will not understand this.
But for Xue Long, Kong Sheng would say in his heart that it would be a lie to say that there was no anger at all.
Knowing that the daughter of the Yang family has a fiancé, she still has to come to the door to propose, especially in front of Kong Sheng, which is a great humiliation in itself.
Wu Xian hurriedly came to report: "The king of the county, Yang Kuan, the chief housekeeper of the Yang Mansion, asks to see" Kong Sheng slowly turned around and said lightly: "What is he doing here?"
Wu Xian smiled: "Naturally, the Yang family sent him to make amends, he said that Yang Yuanjun said that the opening of our county palace was allocated by the yamen of Jiangnan disposal, and the Yang family sent maids and servants for the use of the county palace, and at the same time, he also took out 10,000 yuan as a congratulatory gift for the opening of the county palace." ” "Did you give me a gift?"
Kong Sheng smiled, a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
As soon as he saw his smile, he felt a chill in his heart, and secretly prayed for Yang Qi.
He has been by Kong Sheng's side for many years, and he knows Kong Sheng's style and temperament too well, and he knows that this time Kong Sheng is really angry and will not give in easily.
Speaking of which, Wu Xian was also extremely angry in his heart.
What kind of identity is Kong Sheng, but the Yang family dares to humiliate him in public, and wants to allow Yang Xueruo to others.
Don't talk about Kong Sheng, even an ordinary man can't bear it.
In fact, Wu Xian is really wrong.
Kong Sheng was indeed really angry, but he would not retaliate against the Yang family.
But Kong Sheng obviously won't do nothing, he will still do what should be done, and what he shouldn't do may be caught in full swing.
Speaking of which, this is what Yang Qi is most worried about subconsciously.
The so-called one day does not allow two days, and there are no two masters in the world.
In this place south of the Yangtze River, there was only one soil emperor Yang Qi, and now he was driven to a Jiangning County King Kong Sheng, to say that Yang Qi is not worried about the power in his hands being taken away, it is absolutely false.
But Yang Qi ignored the most critical point: even if there is a harmony between the Yang family and Kong Sheng, even if Yang Qi "respects Kong Sheng like a guest", it will not be able to resolve the power struggle that the Yang family and Kong Sheng will inevitably face.
If you think that Kong Sheng will become the son-in-law of the Yang family because of his marriage to Yang Xueruo, he will be willing to become a puppet controlled by the Yang family and be set up by the Yang family, it can only be said that Yang Qi does not know Kong Sheng at all.
If Kong Sheng wants to do something in Jiangnan, it is unrealistic to have no power.
With Kong Sheng's personality, to be an idle prince with nothing to do in Jiangnan, it is better to hang up the crown and go into hiding.
He took the initiative to retreat to Jiangnan, and his plans were far-reaching, but he was not enough for outsiders.
Therefore, starting from the first day when Kong Sheng was canonized as the king of Jiangning County, no matter whether Xue Long's father and son came to propose marriage and Yang Qi and his wife forced their daughter to change to someone else, Kong Sheng would continue to move forward.
However, the approach adopted may be more tortuous and soft.
Contradictions are destined to be irreconcilable, and methods are bound to lead to the same end.
Kong Sheng took two steps forward, but stopped again.
He slowly looked up at the clear blue sky, the sky in the south of the Yangtze River was so clear, there was no trace of haze.
It's just that his heart is not calm, he was silent for a while, looked at Wu Xian, and his eyes were deep.
Wu Xian was a little furious by Kong Sheng, and subconsciously took two steps back.
"Hehe" Kong Sheng suddenly chuckled, and the laughter was so understated, he didn't know that Wu Xian had already oozed a cold sweat. oshow7 t1706231537:
