Chapter 772 I am the mountain and river of Changjian Town 3 Since the administrative reform of Punch Kong Sheng, the imperial court has basically not held a large-scale court meeting.
Because each ministry of the Government Council performs its own duties, the major affairs of the military state are basically digested and handled within the Government Council, and there is no need to gather everyone to waste time and energy.
But this long-lost court meeting is still coming.
Most people come to the Rindeok Hall early to hold the court meeting.
According to Kong Sheng's order, even the Emperor Taishang, the Empress Dowager Zhang, and the royal family of the Li Tang clan all attended, and hundreds of people were pressed in the hall, and there were many discussions and noisy voices.
The little emperor Li Xi and the emperor Li Heng sat on top of the Danqi.
Empress Zhang, who was promoted to Empress Dowager Zhang, was also on the side of the Empress Dowager.
In addition to Ji Guo and Ning, the princes and daughters of the Emperor Zhao, Li Tong, the princes and daughters of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, those with the title of county king and above, and officials of the third court of the Government Affairs Yuan, the Military Affairs Yuan, and the Supervision Yuan, each waited for a long time in their own trains.
The emperor was actually a little restless.
Since he issued two abdication edicts in a row, there has not been much movement on Kong Sheng's side.
The little emperor originally thought that King Zheng would personally enter the palace to "mediate" with him, but he waited for nothing.
This made the little emperor regret it slightly, thinking that Kong Sheng should not be forced too much.
In case Kong Sheng pushes the boat down the river to ascend the throne and become the emperor, he really regrets not being at the beginning.
The little emperor looked at the Emperor Li Heng on one side.
Li Heng's face was complicated, and he sat on the throne, his eyes slightly closed.
Li Heng was very annoyed by the little emperor's self-asserted behavior, but he was helpless.
Since he meditated to give up the throne, he has lived in seclusion in the Taiji Palace without leaving the palace and not asking about the world, and by the time he knew the news, it was too late.
Li Xi didn't get anything from the Emperor Taishang, so he turned his head and subconsciously looked at Li Tong, the king of Ding, who was standing behind King Li of Zhao in the first row under the Danqi.
Li Tong cast a calm glance at him, and then quietly lowered his head, looking at his nose and nose and heart, as if he were calm.
King Li of Zhao finally understood that it was Li Tong, the king of Ding, who gave such a bad idea to the little emperor behind the scenes.
Of course, the little emperor himself had this idea, and Li Tong may just add fuel to the fire.
Li Ji knew very well in his heart that Li Tong had never given up his coveting of the throne.
He coerced the little emperor to force Kong Sheng to submit in this way, but in fact, he had bad intentions.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Xie turned his head and glanced at Li Tong, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Li was staring at him unkindly, and Li Tong turned a blind eye.
Li Tong thought that he was the one who knew Kong Sheng best, and he felt that Kong Sheng would definitely not ascend the throne as emperor, otherwise he would not have supported Li Xi to ascend the throne in the first place.
This has always made him a little unconvinced, why should he support a prince with an unknown background from a humble background, he is the queen's concubine, and he should be the one who wants to inherit the throne Therefore, when Li Tong noticed the little emperor's impatience, he began to work on water mills a year ago, and he helped the little emperor's various ambitions and dissatisfactions side by side, and this time he made a plan to let the little emperor and Kong Sheng "meet the poor dagger".
In Li Tong's opinion, the little emperor's move will definitely anger Kong Sheng.
And the most likely outcome is that Kong Sheng deposes the little emperor and thus elects someone else from the Li Tang royal family to succeed him.
Then, the most promising and opportunity is him, the queen mother's sister-in-law.
The worst is that you can also test where Kong Sheng's bottom line is.
"King Zheng has arrived," the hoarse and shrill voice of the little eunuch at the entrance of the hall echoed in the hall for a long time.
Kong Sheng walked in slowly in a green robe, he had not worn a formal official robe for a long time, and in fact, he rarely appeared in formal court occasions.
In the past four years, he has been hidden behind the scenes, and it is Li Mi and Du Hongjian who have presided over the government affairs and national affairs of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, in the past four years, he has been fighting in the south and north, and at least half of the time has been spent fighting, and the days he stayed in Chang'an are numbered.
The hearts of the civil and military officials and the Li Tang clan immediately pinched.
Kong Sheng's expression was calm, and he walked quickly to the front of the hall.
Kong Sheng bowed down and saluted to the Emperor Taishang and the little Emperor Li Xi who were sitting on the Dan Pier: "Minister Kong Sheng, I have seen the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor."
Li Heng sighed lightly and waved his hand: "Kong Sheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, this time I heard that you are in turmoil, I don't know what the battle situation is."
Kong Sheng smiled: "Please also rest assured that the rebellion of a nobleman in Nanzhao has been put down, and some minor troubles will not hinder the overall situation." ” Li Heng nodded: "King Zheng has worked hard" Emperor Li Xi did not get up and return the salute as usual, because Kong Sheng was the emperor's teacher, and the usual practice was that Kong Sheng saluted him, and then he got up and returned the salute, which was the friendship of the monarch and the minister, teachers and students.
Li Xi sat there with his head hung in a sullen voice, looking like a child making a fuss.
Kong Sheng smiled and didn't care.
Kong Sheng turned around, faced everyone, and said loudly: "Gather all of you today to discuss the country's affairs, not for anything else, but for Your Majesty's abdication edict yesterday." ” "His Majesty claimed to abdicate and let Kong ascend the throne as emperor.
This made Kong feel very helpless.
Kong Sheng's voice became a little cold: "Here, I want to state once again that Kong has no thoughts about the throne, if I want to change the dynasty and become the emperor, I did it four years ago, and I can't wait for today." ” "The emperor's abdication edict is two in a row, and the words are conclusive.

Kong knows very well in his heart, and I am afraid that you also understand what this is for.
Today, hundreds of civil and military officials, clan royal relatives, including the Emperor Taishang, are all in the hall, in front of everyone, Kong wants to say a few words honestly. ” "Four years ago, Kong pushed the administrative reform and took up the posts of prime minister of the Government Council and generalissimo of the Military Affairs Yuan.
In the eyes of many people, Kong Mou is a monopoly on power and has set up the emperor.
I do not deny this, because I do want to hold all the military and political power firmly in my hands, and my purpose in doing so is not to centralize power personally, but to carry out the reform to the end.
I said that when the time is right, I will hand over all the power in my hands. ” "The three institutes are separated, check and balance each other and supervise, and they operate separately, and everyone has seen how effective they are.
Compared with four years ago, the imperial court decrees are smooth, and the efficiency of the yamen has improved by a little bit.
And the world farming, three consecutive years of bumper harvest, the people live in peace, the treasury is full. ” "A rich country and a strong people are not empty words.
In the past four years, the world has been clear and the people have been stable.
Imperial taxes were greatly increased, and the population increased exponentially.
I believe that in another four years, we will be able to surpass Zhenguan Kaiyuan and create a brilliant and prosperous world."
"Reform benefits the country and benefits the people.
Of course, it also hurts the interests of the family and the clan.
But compared to the country and the people, what is the benefit of the family?"
"Kong has no selfish motives in carrying out reforms.
The implementation of poor education, and now above the court, officials from poor families have gradually become a climate.
What is Kong for, I just want to give the children of the poor a chance to advance, so that more talented and virtuous talents can enter the decision-making body of the imperial court, and contribute to the prosperity of the country and the benefit of the people. ” "You all think that I, Kong, am authoritarian and domineering, but please ask yourself, Kong has been able to seek a little personal benefit for his own family in the past four years, I have led the army to conquer the south and the north, and have successively settled in Tubo, the Western Regions, Huifu, Goryeo, and overseas islands.
The territory of the Tang Dynasty has more than doubled."
Kong is not for merit, but for a clear conscience.
Kong worked hard to leave a splendid mountain and river for future generations.
Kong Sheng's voice suddenly rose a few degrees: "Kong Mou has always said that the family and country are in the world, this is not anyone's home country, not the emperor's home country, but the family and country of the people in the world."
The world of the people of the world naturally wants to let the people of the world govern, which is Kong's ultimate goal. ” "Therefore, it is not a question of who is not the emperor, nor is it a question of whether Kong is the emperor or not, but how to pass on this splendid mountain and river to maintain the prosperity of the world."
Kong Sheng waved his hand: "To be honest, Kong has long been tired of working hard, and I really want to hand over the so-called power in my hand and live happily in the mountains and forests with my family."
But I am afraid that once I leave and retreat, the foundation of our strong country will be overturned and reversed. ” "So, for the time being, Kong will not give up, because I want to see the real rise of Greater China."
Kong Sheng smiled coldly: "Don't try to force Kong to comply, Kong will not comply." ” "The current state structure is like this, the emperor will always be the emperor, the leader and head of the country, enjoy the country's offerings and supreme glory, and accept the worship of all nations, but the emperor cannot interfere in the governance of the country, no matter who is the emperor.
This cannot be changed. ” "Far away in the West, there is a story that Dionysius, king of Syracuse, founded his kingdom.
He had a favorite named Damocles, and Damocles was very envious of the king's power, so Dionysius gave up his throne to this man, and when Damocles was holding a banquet, he suddenly looked up and saw a heavy and sharp sword hanging above his throne, and the hilt of the sword was only tied with a horse's hair, and it was about to fall on his head, so frightened that he fled from the table, and King Dionysius came out and said: This sword is a danger that threatens the king every minute, and as for the king's happiness and well-being, It's just a phenomenon of appearances. ” Kong Sheng said loudly: "This tells us that how much power a person has, how much responsibility he has to bear.
And the emperor can't do whatever he wants, above the emperor, there is always a power that needs to be feared.
This is what we are talking about, if you have no way, God will punish you. ” "A country needs perfect laws to maintain order and ensure functioning.
Under the so-called law, all beings are equal.
It is also said that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
The law will restrain the emperor to always be a good emperor with measure, and the law will restrain a minister to fulfill his duties, not daring to abolish the public for personal reasons, let alone bending the law for bribes, and what Kong wants to build is this kind of perfect American degree. ” "But there's no doubt that we can't do it for the time being.
Those who have power have privileges, and those who have privileges are above the law. ” "Kong Sheng weighed it again and again, and finally decided that since it is difficult for the law to play a real role at present, then let Kong serve as the sword of Damocles, hang high in the world, and shock the world."
"My heart is selfless, my heart is concerned about the world, I am willing to stand up to the infamy of the ages, as a long sword, the town of mountains and rivers" Kong Sheng's impassioned voice echoed in the hall for a long time: "Who wants to destroy the foundation of the country, who wants to harm the people, who wants to expand the desire for power, who wants to cause chaos in the world, and see if Kong agrees or not" As he spoke, Kong Sheng's whole body suddenly floated with a layer of faint blue halo, floating in the hall, one foot above the ground, which was two heads higher than everyone else.
Everyone was frightened, looking up at Kong Sheng who was returning from Yuyao in the wind, and the awe in their hearts rose again, and they didn't dare to move.
Even the Emperor Li Heng and the Little Emperor Li Xi on the Danqi are also a little creepy.
It was the first time Li Xi saw Kong Sheng show miracles, and his heart immediately cooled, it turned out that the legends were all true, this King Zheng was really a god in the world, since this was the case, what qualifications did he have to compete with Kong Sheng Kong Sheng looked down at everyone condescendingly, and said lightly: "Kong's words, you can understand them."
Li Mi Du Hong gradually led his ministers to prostrate on the ground, and the mountain shouted to understand.
Kong Sheng's figure slowly lowered, he was not for showmanship or to pretend to be a god addict, but in the current era, there is no such means to achieve the purpose of deterring the world.
If the world needs a god to maintain order, Kong Sheng is willing to act as this god.
Kong Sheng turned around and looked at the little emperor Li Xi with awe-inspiring eyes: "Your Majesty, have you ever understood?"
Li Xi's face was pale, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
At this moment, Li Tong, the king of Ding, suddenly stood up and said loudly: "This king doesn't understand. ” Kong Sheng said lightly: "King Ding doesn't understand?"
"Since King Zheng wants to implement the so-called perfection of the United States, the rule of law and the rule of law, and the people of the world rule the world, then why do you need an emperor, since ancient times, the monarch is the minister, the monarch is the master, and the minister is the servant.
But now above our court, the king is not like the king, the minister is not like the minister, and in the long run, the country will not be the country," Li Tong said boldly.
"The emperor is still the emperor, but not the emperor you want to see.

Dingwang, Kong is too lazy to debate with you, I will only let the facts speak.
Kong Sheng waved his hand, ignored Li Tong anymore, turned his head to look at Li Xi and said, "The emperor still insists on abdicating at this time."
The corners of Li Xi's mouth twitched, and he said in a trembling voice: "I am willing" Kong Sheng laughed loudly: "That's it."
As I said, the emperor will always be the emperor, and the state will provide for the royal family, but the people of the royal family must obey the law and not be above the law.
The emperor enjoyed glory and dignity, but no privileges. ” "Alright, today's court meeting, that's it.
He also asked the ministers of the Government Council to immediately start revising and perfecting a Tang Dynasty law, which made it clear from the beginning that everyone was equal before the law, and no one, including the emperor, had the privilege of going beyond the law. ” After Kong Sheng finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Everyone looked at each other and left the hall in twos and threes.
Emperor Li Heng and Emperor Li Xi on the Dan Qi, with sad faces, slowly got up, and returned to the harem lonely surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids. oshow7 t1706231537:
