Chapter 1247: Youzhou Incident!
Chapter 1247 [The second heroine is turned outside, Xu Qiqin has been uploaded, everyone go and see it, search for Huangfuqi, and follow my WeChat public account. ^-^】
In the matter of Niu Xiantong, Wang Chong probably understood why he did this. In Zhang Shoujue's heart, the position of prime minister may always be a pain in his heart. Zhang Shouqi's dedication to the position of prime minister has far surpassed everything else, more than ten years ago, he failed to sit in the position of prime minister, and more than ten years later, this desire in his heart has become stronger and stronger.
And if the Youzhou army is defeated in the Huangshui area, although it is not personally commanded by Zhang Shouqi, if this matter leaks out, then Zhang Shouqi's dream of wanting to enter the Beijing division and sit in the prime minister's position will be completely shattered.
This is something that Zhang Shouqi can't tolerate no matter what, and it is also the real reason why he took the risk and bribed the Holy Emperor's envoy.
In all fairness, Zhang Shouqi is definitely not a good person, he is conceited, irritable, and his subordinates are far from those famous generals in history, not only is he not merciful, but sometimes he will physically punish his subordinates. The feeling of Wang Chong meeting him in Beijing last time was definitely not too good. However, despite such and such problems, and there is a strong desire for power, Zhang Shouqi is indeed a loyal and good minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he is absolutely loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
And as the top No. 2 person in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Shouqi can fight well, and his influence is second only to the crown prince Shaobao Wang Zhonghei.
"No one is perfect", no matter what kind of flaws Zhang Shouqi has in his character, but his ability to command troops is indeed what this empire needs, and in the Battle of Talas, Zhang Shouqi also sent four thousand tiger troops and thousands of Youzhou troops, and now it is time to repay him, but what kind of way can he help him, even Wang Chong has no bottom in his heart.
"When did you hand over the excerpt from Youzhou?"
Wang Chong asked. He had already paid close attention to Zhang Shouqi's affairs, but it was a pity that by the time he intervened, it had been a few days since Niu Xiantong returned to Beijing from Youzhou.
Even Wang Chong pinched a cold sweat for Zhang Shouqi, but the next moment, Niu Xiantong's answer surprised Wang Chong.
"Back to the prince, the matter of the excerpt is still pressed in the middle, and it has not been submitted!"
Niu Xiantong's head hung low, and he bowed.
"What?"
Hearing this, Wang Chong's body shook and he sat up straight suddenly.
"This time the Holy Emperor sent me to Youzhou, the practice of the imperial court, when I came back from the border wilderness, I had to report the news to Your Majesty as soon as possible, but when I went to see Your Majesty a few days ago, I didn't know why I was stopped by Gao Lishi Gao Gonggong. Gao Gonggong said, Your Majesty is slightly ill, let me take the excerpt to meet Your Majesty in a few days and report the affairs of Youzhou. ”
Niu Xiantong immediately knelt on the ground and told the story of the incident as it was.
These words surprised Wang Chong, but soon, Wang Chong thought of something, the impact of the Shenwu Realm failed, His Majesty's situation became more and more serious, several court meetings in a row, Wang Chong could feel that the Holy Emperor's breath was a little disordered, and it was obvious that Niu Xiantong was rejected by Gao Lishi for this reason.
"Great...... If that's the case, there's still a chance to remedy it!"
Wang Chong muttered to himself in his heart, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the table.
"How many people still know about the fact that you helped Zhang Shouqi conceal the military situation and lie about his military exploits?"
Wang Chong asked.
has reached this point, where does Niu Xiantong dare to hide anything, and immediately said everything:
"There are not many people in the palace who know about it, and the excerpt I wrote for Lord Zhang Shouqi has only been read by a few other people in the matter and the eldest prince, and no one knows about the others for the time being. ”
"What!"
Hearing the name of the eldest prince, Wang Chong was shocked and surprised.
If it was before, Wang Chong wouldn't have cared much about it, but now Wang Chong already knew that the eldest prince, Li Linfu, King Qi, and the old lady were all colluding.
"How did the eldest prince know about this?"
Wang Chong said.
"The eldest prince has actually taken over part of the imperial court affairs a long time ago, and this is also His Majesty's purpose to cultivate the eldest prince. This time, His Majesty meditated alone, and others were not allowed to meet easily, so according to the rules, I will first hand over the proposed excerpt to the eldest prince for review, and when I meet the Holy Emperor in the future, I will copy it again, and that is the original. ”
Niu Xiantong knelt on the ground, trembling all over:
"I'm also forced to be helpless, I have to do it, the prince has to help me no matter what!"
After saying this, Niu Xiantong hugged Wang Chong's thigh tightly, like holding the last straw.
He dared to help Zhang Shouqi lie about the military situation, firstly because he was sure that few people knew about this matter, and secondly, because of Zhang Shoujue's power. In Youzhou, Zhang Shouqi almost covered the sky with one hand, even if it was a big thing, he could suppress it, and coupled with Zhang Shoujue's coercion, there was this kind of thing.
But now that the matter has been revealed, the crime of bullying the king is not trivial, and Niu Xiantong no longer dares to imagine what will happen to him in the end.
"Lord Niu, even if you still have self-knowledge and repentance, otherwise the only thing waiting for you is Ling Chi's execution!"
Wang Chong sat in the sandalwood chair and said.
Niu Xiantong was in a trembling situation, although he didn't know what Ling Chi's execution meant, and there was no such punishment in the previous dynasty, but it was undoubtedly not a good thing.
"Lord Niu, the medicine is bitter, and the advice is against the ear, my advice to you is to immediately report the matter of Youzhou to 1510, in addition, you immediately write a letter to Zhang Shoujue, the protector of Anton Dadu, tell him that the matter has been revealed, and let him take the initiative to confess to the court. If this is the case, then everything is still in time, otherwise, the Tang Dynasty has been prosperous for decades, and no one has ever dared to deceive the Holy Emperor, you know what the end will be!"
"Understood, understood! The old slave knew what to do. ”
Niu Xiantong said with a frightened face.
Wang Chong didn't say much, flicked his sleeves, and stood up from his seat, Niu Xiantong's matter is difficult to be good no matter what. No one could save him just by deceiving the Holy Emperor, but now, at least, he didn't have to die.
Wang Chong quickly left the room and walked out, and behind him, Niu Xiantong fell to the ground, as if he had collapsed. His robe was wet from top to bottom, inside and out.
"Let's go! Send him another table to eat, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat for a few days. ”
Wang Chong said.
"Yes, sir!"
......
Coming out of Taibai Building, there was a figure standing on the side of the street, waiting early:
"Your Excellency!"
Seeing Wang rushing out, Xu Keyi quickly stepped forward and greeted him.
"How's it going?"
Wang Chong asked.
"Lord Hui, the letter to Anton Dadu has been prepared and can be sent to Youzhou at any time!"
When Wang Chong was talking to Niu Xiantong in the VIP room of Taibai Building, Xu Keyi was next door, and when Wang Chong came out of the VIP room, Xu Keyi had already finished writing a letter.
"Good! With the fastest hawks, send them now!"
Wang Chong said.
"It's my lord!"
Time passed slowly, leaving from Taibai Building, Wang Chong did not stay any longer, and went straight home.
The night was dark, the whole Wang family was quiet, and many maids and servants had gone to bed early, but in Wang Chong's study, there was still a light and candle. In the room, Wang Chong sat there, without the slightest intention of sleeping, as if waiting for something.
"Knock knock!"
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a slight knock on the door from outside the study.
"Come in!"
Wang Chong said.
The closed door opened a gap, and the eagle, dressed in black, like a ghost, flashed in:
"The eagle has seen the adult!"
Four or five steps away from Wang Chong, the eagle knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
"Did you find it?"
Wang Chong opened his eyes and said.
"My lord, as you expected, after you impeached Zhang Chaoshu, these people really moved. Our people keep an eye on the places where the archives and files are kept. When the hour was almost up, our men found this when they went in to look for other people's files. ”
The eagle looked up and said as he took out two thick stacks of dossier from his bosom. One hand at a time, he handed it over respectfully. When Wang Chong took the first file file, his face did not change, but when his eyes swept over the second file file, his eyebrows were raised, and his face suddenly changed slightly.
"My lord, our people have only checked it during the day. Those young officials who appeared in the court, the resume files of more than ten years ago, were all written on very brand new paper, and they looked very flawed, but by the evening, everything was completely different. These papers should be very new in terms of toughness and elasticity, but I don't know what means they used to make these papers as if they had been sitting for more than ten years!"
The eagle raised his head and said in a deep voice.
"Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger" and "leading the snake out of the hole" Wang Chong only used a Zhang Chaoshu, so that the black hands who were manipulating behind the scenes could no longer sit still, and he took the initiative to show his form.
However, the other party also took the initiative to make changes, and Zhang Chaoshu's matter made them feel a huge threat, and they did their best to fill the loophole in one day.
"My lord, I really don't know how they did it, the paper of ten years must have been cracked and decayed, and it will never be so well preserved as these files. The abilities of these people are simply unheard of!"
The eagle said in a deep voice.
"It's just the use of some special dyes, and the fire baking, it's not too powerful. ”
Wang Chong said calmly.
Looking at the eagle's blank face, Wang Chong didn't explain too much. This method is not too powerful in another world, it is just old, or antique. But in this world, not many people know. But the efficiency over there is really amazing.
