Chapter 820

"Now you understand. ”

King Song glanced deeply at the old butler, knowing that he had already reacted. With the friendship between the Song and Wang families, coupled with Wang Yan's own outstanding command and command skills, he was originally the best candidate. But now, on the contrary, it is the most unsuitable.

"Moreover, there are most of the Hu people in the Protectorate of the Western Protectorate, and the Hu people are rebellious and difficult to submit. If Wang Yan is parachuted over, the Han people in the army of the western capital will be gone, but those Hu people will definitely not obey him. Wang Gengzhi has always been harsh and strict in administering the army, but can he kill half of the guards of the western capital as soon as he goes up? His Majesty wants to send people to stabilize the situation in the western part of the city and defend the Uszang and the Western Turkic Khanate, instead of abandoning himself and fighting among themselves before he has even begun to deal with the Uszang and the Turks. ”

The old butler was silent, he was not a good person to discuss politically, and he could not intervene in this regard, so he could not give much help to King Song.

"Old butler, help me to send me a letter, tell him what is going on here, and ask his opinion. ”

King Song pondered for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.

"Yes, the old slave will do it. ”

The old butler's lips quirmed, and he quickly walked away.

In the entire Song Dynasty, if it is said that the one who can give the Song King the greatest help in all aspects, it is definitely Wang Chong. Fumeng Lingcha is such a powerful protector, with decades of seniority in the army, a high lord, and a Beidou-like existence of Mount Tai, he was actually pulled off the horse step by step by Wang Chong.

Among the current Jingshi, Wang Chong's reputation has already reached an extremely high level unconsciously. Although Wang Chongyuan is far away from the border, he has not yet entered the court, and he does not have the right to participate in politics, but in the eyes of many princes and magnates and first-class families, this one has long been in the ascendant, and I am afraid that it is even more fearful than many court ministers.

And slowly, even King Song himself didn't find out that he now paid more and more attention to Wang Chong, and invisibly, whenever he encountered a problem, he would subconsciously associate with Wang Chong, hoping to get advice from him.

......

A few days later, the Wounded, the City of Steel.

After reading King Song's letter, Wang Chong put down the letterhead and was silent for a long time.

"How's it going, are you paying attention?"

Xu Qiqin sat on the side, dressed in white like snow, her eyes were rolling in her wonderful eyes, she blew on tea foam, and her cherry lips opened lightly.

"The candidates for Fumeng Lingcha are not so easy to choose, and when it comes to the candidates for the Imperial Protector, it is always up to the imperial court to decide. I never thought that King Song would come to ask me about this kind of thing. ”

Wang Chong shook his head and spoke. I have to say that King Song attaches much more importance to him than he imagined.

"You removed him, so you should have some candidates in your heart, right?"

Xu Qiqin said, as she spoke, she stretched out her snow-white fingers, picked up a piece of pastry from the plate on the table, gently put it into her mouth, and chewed it in small bites, with an elegant and calm posture. After a long time, she participated in more and more things, and the relationship with Wang Chong became closer and closer.

Now, the two of them are eating breakfast together, and there are some important things, Wang Chong not only does not shy away from him, but also asks her for reference.

"Of course I did. Originally, the best candidate for the protection of the west of the city was my father, and if he could enter the west of the city, it would be much easier for us. But it seems that King Song probably still thinks it can't be done, and has already excluded him. ”

Wang Chong sighed slightly.

The Song and Wang families have been friends for generations, and the position of the protector of the western capital is vacant, so there is no need to mention it himself, and the king of Song will inevitably think of his father first. But King Song still wrote to ask for his opinion. Obviously, King Song still felt that his father, as a candidate for the protector of the western capital, was still not enough.

King Song is upright, although the Song and Wang families have been friends for many years, but in the heart of King Song, the most important thing is actually the Tang Dynasty and the world. There's no way around it. But on the other hand, it is precisely the reason why Wang Chong respects him. In the court, there is a reason why King Song was able to overwhelm King Qi and was respected by his ministers.

“...... If nothing else, King Song excluded his father, I am afraid it is also the reason why he commanded the infantry, not the cavalry. ”

Wang Chong said helplessly.

There is a big difference between different classes. In the Battle of the Southwest, my father was not a strong man at the level of an imperial general, but he was able to resist the attack of the general of the Uszang Empire, which was obtained by relying on the Giant Spirit Heavenly God Array and the strength of the army.

But if he changed the cavalry and the group of subordinates he was familiar with, then the "Giant Spirit Heavenly God Array" would not be able to be used at all. And without the Giant Spirit Heavenly God Array, my father would not be an opponent at all when he encountered a figure at the level of an imperial general.

——Such a person is absolutely unsuitable to become the protector of the capital of the western part of the city!

These thoughts flew through his mind, and Wang Chong couldn't help frowning deeply.

"If you don't have anyone else in mind except your uncle?"

Xu Qiqin smiled slightly, a little unconvinced. Wang Chong, whom she knows, has always been confident, calm and calm, and she is sure in advance of everything she does. This is not like the Wang Chong she knows.

"Haha!"

Wang Chong couldn't help but look back when he heard this, and laughed:

"Actually, the reason why I want to remove Fumon Lingcha is very simple, with him, I have no way to carry out the operation. Things like the night raid of Damangpoj will happen constantly. And all my plans, he will find a way to sabotage. It's like I built a city of steel in the gap of the triangle, and he'll be moved right away. Therefore, the entire moraine, as long as it is not Fumeng Lingcha, is okay. In addition, if the father is not very suitable, then you can also consider Xian Yu Zhongtong, or other Han generals. As long as it's not someone from King Qi's lineage, you can ......"

"But no matter who it is, as long as it is King Qi's person, then King Song absolutely disagrees. ”

Without waiting for Wang Chong to speak, Xu Qiqin suddenly interrupted and said.

"Clever!"

Wang Chong glanced back at Xu Qiqin and praised it sincerely.

"In terms of the successor of Fumeng Lingcha, no matter how chosen by the imperial court, it is actually not something I want to care about. Compared to what King Song said, I was more worried about another thing. ”

As soon as Wang Chong's voice fell, the two people in the room fell silent at the same time.

Fumeng Lingcha was imprisoned because of the dispute between the prince and the prince, and Wang Chong's biggest enemy and threat in the west of the city was successfully resolved, but this incident inadvertently caused another larger conflict. At least half of the people in the Western Protectorate are attached to the Hu people, and the Hu people advocate bravery, simply put, whoever has the most strength will call the shots.

When Fu Meng Lingcha was there, it was fine, and everything was still suppressed. But when Fu Meng Lingcha left, the entire Moxi group of dragons was leaderless, and all the problems were immediately exposed. At least a dozen hills and more than a dozen factions appeared in the entire moraine in an instant, each of which was vying for the dominance of the moraine capital protectors.

Although according to the practice of the imperial court, the candidates for the protector of the western capital can only be appointed by the imperial court. But for the Hu people, who advocate personal bravery and fists determine their brains, this set does not work at all.

Wang Chong opposed the system of moderation and the excessive reuse of Hu people for this reason. If it was a group of Han people, this would never have happened.

In the current situation, the dozen or so Hu generals are vying for power and profit, and it is very likely that a conflict will break out within the Moxi Capital Protector Army.

"Li Siye, how is the situation in the west of the moraine?"

Wang Zheng suddenly turned his head to look out the door.

"Back to Master Hou, we have been monitoring the situation over there day and night. As you expected, the henchman called 'Gudu Li' next to Fumeng Lingcha is wantonly wooing the other Hu people in the Moxi Capital Protector Army, his strength is extremely strong, he was originally Fu Meng Lingcha's personal guard, and now his voice in the army has surpassed that of He Baye, and more importantly, even the Moxi Du Protector Army on the defense line of the eastern Turkic steppe has begun to support him. There is no accident, if one of the guards of the Western Capital is chosen to replace Fumeng Lingcha, it is likely to be him. In addition, I received information that during this time, Gudu Li may take words to suppress He Baye. ”

Li Siye was dressed in military uniform and guarded the doorway.

"In addition, according to the information we have gathered, Gudu Li has serious rebellious tendencies. Recently, he has made several remarks, saying that 'the Hu people should not fight the Hu people, everyone is naturally a family', and even said that he would bring all the Hu people in the Western Capital Protector Army to join the Western Turkic Khanate. ”

Hearing Li Siye's words, the two people in the room frowned.

"Wang Chong, don't be impulsive, we have no jurisdiction over the affairs of the Western Protectorate, and we can't rashly exceed the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, there will be very serious problems, and it may even lead to us losing all our efforts. What's more, there has not yet been a large-scale war in the Moxi Capital Protector Army, and it is a capital crime to intervene at this time and kill the generals of the Moxi Capital Protector Army without authorization. ”

Xu Qiqin observed the words and expressions beside her, immediately sensed something, and hurriedly warned.

"Alas, I can only let it go for a while!"

Wang Chong sighed in his heart. The matter of the Moxi Metropolitan Protector is now a mess, and it can only be completely resolved by waiting for the new Moxi Metropolitan Protector to take office.

"Li Siye, the matter over there in the Western Protectorate will be handed over to you, give me close monitoring, pay attention to their movements at any time, once there is civil strife, no matter what happens, you must intervene to stop them. ”

"Yes, Master Hou. ”

Li Siye said respectfully.

Leaving everything to Li Siye, Wang Chong took a nap in the room for a while, and after enjoying the breakfast with Xu Qiqin, he quickly left the room. What happened in the Protectorate of the Western Prefecture was indeed worrying, but for Wang Chong, these were just mustard itches, and there was another thing that was much more important than this matter.

"Two masters, long time no see. ”

In the city of steel, in the lobby of the city lord's mansion, Wang Chong met the two masters of Aroga and Arowu, who had been absent for a long time. I haven't seen each other for more than a year, and although the two are still thin, their complexions are much better.

"Chong Gongzi, be polite. ”

"I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I can't imagine that the son has been crowned a king. Childe is so young and promising, we really didn't look at the wrong person at the beginning. ”

Seeing Wang Chong, the two venous monks immediately stood up from their seats, clasped their palms together, bowed, and looked very respectful. At the beginning of the famine caused by poison, Wang Chong sent a large number of cattle, sheep and grain to the past, relieved the urgent need of poison, and was regarded as the most important benefactor and guest by the whole poison.

Moreover, Wang Chong bought the Hyderabad ore, and the price he gave was very high, which was not at the same level as the bids of other countries. As a result, even the highest high priest regarded him as his most honorable guest.
