Chapter 645: Goodbye Su Zhengchen (2)
Chapter 645
"Senpai!"
Seeing that familiar figure, Wang rushed over and saluted respectfully in front of the old man, with a respectful and serious expression.
If you let the people in the capital know that Wang Chong, who has just won a great victory in the southwest and made great contributions, and is regarded as a hero and triumphant by the entire Tang Dynasty, would be so respectful to an old man, it would definitely be incredible.
But Wang Chong knew that the old man in front of him, no matter who anyone's gift, he could afford it.
Because he is Su Zhengchen, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, he has been a legendary existence in the world since the Taizong era, even famous generals such as Wang Zhongsi and Zhang Shouqi are dull and colorless in front of him.
"It's coming. ”
Su Zhengchen's voice was very soft, just like an ordinary old man, completely unreminiscent of him, he was the great * god who moved the world.
"Sit down. ”
Su Zhengchen didn't raise his head, and pointed to the opposite side of the chessboard.
"Hey, hey, brother. ”
A cute little head came out from under Su Zhengchen's ribs, and his two eyes were shining in the light, looking eccentric, it was the "little Jianjian" who was always by Su Zhengchen's side.
"Little one. ”
Wang Chong smiled, stretched out a palm, and touched the thin short hair on the top of his head dotingly.
"Senior brother, let me tell you, knowing that you are back, Master has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Xiao Jianjian deliberately lowered his voice.
"Mouthy!"
Su Zhengchen didn't raise his head, but a finger hit Xiao Jianjian's head.
"It's not fun, Master is angry. ”
Xiao Jianjian stuck out his tongue cutely, and quickly retracted his head.
Wang Chong glanced at Su Zhengchen next to him, with thoughtful thoughts in his eyes, and quickly sat down opposite Su Zhengchen.
"Come with me for the next game. ”
Su Zhengchen finally raised his head and pointed to the chess jar opposite. The orange-red light shone on his face, shifting.
"Yes, Senpai. ”
Wang Chong smiled and took the chess jar on the side and held it in his hand. However, when Wang Chong saw the chess pieces inside, he was slightly stunned. In the past, when Wang Chong and Su Zhengchen played chess, Su Zhengchen held the white son, Wang Chong held the black son, and the white son went first.
But this time, all the chess jars that Su Zhengchen gave him were white.
"In the past, you were just a little clever, so I let you hold the blacks, but now you are worthy of these whites. ”
Su Zhengchen's voice came faintly from the air.
In an instant, Wang Chong seemed to understand something, the night was slightly cool, but a warm current surged in Wang Chong's chest, and he was faintly moved.
Although Su Zhengchen didn't say anything, there is no doubt that he has expressed his approval of himself in this way. This is something that I haven't felt before.
"Let's play chess. ”
Before Wang Chong could speak, Su Zhengchen had already grabbed the chess pieces in his hand.
"Yes. ”
Wang Chong smiled calmly, and first fell a white child.
This game of chess went from late at night to the east, and finally even the lantern next to Su Zhengchen was about to go out.
"It's okay, I'm losing. ”
At the last moment, Su Zhengchen abandoned his son and admitted defeat, and there was no doubt that he was defeated. But despite this, Su Zhengchen did not feel the slightest frustration, but seemed unusually happy, as if he was the one who won.
"Wencheng does not love money, and Wuchen does not hesitate to die, this is the way for the country's society to prosper forever. Chong'er, you did a good job in this battle in the southwest, and you didn't lose face for Datang!"
Su Zhengchen said, stood up, and looked at Wang Chong in front of him with a look of relief.
"Yes, Senpai. ”
Wang Chong lowered his head, his heart was moved, Su Zhengchen said a few words, but it was already the greatest affirmation of him. Su Zhengchen never easily participated in the government affairs, let alone the border, and in the entire empire, there were very few people who could get his kind of affirmation.
In order to get these few words of affirmation, I don't know how many people are willing to fight for their heads and pay a huge price for it.
"Is the white child you gave last time still there?"
Su Zhengchen suddenly spoke.
"Yes. ”
Wang Chong hurriedly took out the white seed from his arms.
"Give it to me. ”
Su Zhengchen took the white son from Wang Chong's hand, just flicked it lightly, and returned it to Wang Chong.
"The blood qi on your body is too strong, and I can't do anything about this bloodline, so I can only help you suppress it temporarily and protect your meridian dantian. Everything else depends on your own creation. ”
Just as Wang Chong looked down at the white son in his hand, a voice suddenly came from his ears. Before Wang Chong could react, bang, Wang Chong's right shoulder was slightly numb, and a palm gently patted him, but in an instant, the palm was retracted. But in the blink of an eye, there was a majestic, powerful and unbelievable sword qi, like a flood, rushing into Wang Chong's body.
Different from the sword qi that Wang Chong had felt in the past, although this sword qi was extremely powerful and incomparable, it contained a powerful vitality.
As soon as this sword qi rushed into Wang Chong's body, it immediately divided into tens of thousands, scattered into Wang Chong's seven meridians and eight veins, and the position of the dantian.
"Jian'er, it's dawn, let's go. ”
A voice came from his ears, Wang Chong raised his head, and saw a figure with fluttering sleeves, leading the seven or eight-year-old child towards the distance.
"Senior, when will we be able to meet again?"
Wang Chong's heart moved, and he couldn't help blurting out.
"When the time comes, there will be a goodbye period!"
Su Zhengchen's voice drifted from the wind, and the old and the young quickly disappeared into the night.
Wang Chong looked at the figures of the two in the distance, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart. He knew very well that after this time, the two of them would enter the deep mansion again, isolated from the outside world.
I don't know how long I'll have to wait to see them again.
After regrouping his mind, Wang Chong quickly returned to the mansion and met his mother, and Wang Chong quickly went to sleep. He barely closed his eyes in the Battle of the Southwest, and now that he has returned to Jingshi, he can also have a good rest.
......
When Wang Chong was resting at home, the entire palace was already in turmoil. The Holy Emperor's will has been handed down, and the Ministry of Rites and the Six Ministries, as well as the ministers in the court, discussed the issue of rewarding the generals in the southwest.
Whether it is Xian Yu Zhongtong, or Wang Yan, Wang Fu, or other generals in the southwest, there is no problem with their rewards. Only Wang Chong's reward had a problem.
"This is not in line with the etiquette! Wang Chong, the youngest son of the Wang family, does not have an official and a half position in hand at all, how can he be rewarded?"
"Yes, although he was born in a family of generals, he is only a civilian concubine, and he is not even on the military register of the Annan Metropolitan Protector Army, how can he be rewarded?"
......
Above the court, several officials from the Ministry of Rites, as well as officials from Honglu Temple, and the imperial history of the imperial court spoke out to stop them.
"The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. Even if you want to reward Wang Chong, you must follow the rules and regulations of the court. If there are no rules, there is no circle, do you want to break the law because of one person?"
Next to the Panlong Pillar, Duan Yushi's expression was dignified, and he had the posture of fighting the world alone.
It's not that he has a grudge against Wang Chong, it's just that the court wants to reward Wang Chong with a big reward, which will mess up the law of the court. As an imperial history, it is necessary to be fearless of the powerful and swear to protect the law of the court, no matter from the king to the subjects, as long as the law of the court is violated, they must be impeached to the death and fight to the end.
And from ancient times to the present, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no precedent for a "commoner" to be rewarded on a large scale.
Not far away, King Qi watched coldly, and his heart was already overjoyed.
In the Battle of the Southwest, he was already too conspicuous to jump out again. So he specially contacted the people of Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, and then found these stereotypical and old-fashioned imperial histories, in order to suppress the most conspicuous unicorn of the Wang family.
The entire Wang clan, whether it was Wang Gan, Wang Yan, Wang Fu, or others, in the eyes of King Qi, all had limited potential.
If they were really that powerful, they would have already been crowned kings and marquises, where would it be their turn to get now. Only this Wang Chong made him feel a huge threat.
An existence that is only seventeen years old and can already defeat Daqin Ruozan and return to the fire tree has already made the King of Qi smell the Nine Princes of the year.
When the Nine Dukes were in power, they were almost crushed to death in the same vein of the Qi Palace. King Qi couldn't let himself have such a powerful opponent in the court no matter what.
And Wang Chong does not have an official position, let alone the establishment of the army, this is the biggest dead end. According to the rules of the imperial court, Wang Chong was not in the military establishment, so there was no way to record military exploits.
No matter how much credit Wang Chong made in the southwest, it had nothing to do with him.
"Hmph, according to the meaning of Duan Yushi, Wang Chong has made such a great contribution, do we still want to punish him for the crime of raising the army privately, forging weapons, and interfering with the command of the battle?"
A strange voice suddenly came from the side, and before anyone else could speak, opposite Duan Yushi, another imperial historian of the imperial court spoke, and his voice was full of sarcasm.
"Yang Yushi!"
Seeing the imperial history who spoke, Duan Qian's face suddenly changed. The royal history who sarcastically spoke about him, with gray temples, was his former boss Yang Wei.
It would be fine if it was someone else who refuted him, but it was Yang Wei, who was also the imperial historian, and he was his top boss.
Duan Qian's face turned red when he was suddenly said, but he returned to normal after only a while.
"Why not?"
Duan Qian said with a stiff neck. The court has the laws of the court, and if the laws are violated, even if they are their own bosses?
"Hmph, so what you mean is to take Wang Chong into custody and put him in prison, and then you go and lead the army, go to the battlefield in person, and lead the battlefield of the Tang Dynasty to defeat Daqin Ruozan, defeat the Fire Tree Guizang, defeat Duan Gequan, and those foreign lords who are ambitious in the surrounding areas to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty, right?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, and before Duan Qian could react, a thin palm suddenly stretched out, pinched his ear and pinched it fiercely, and then twisted it violently.
Ouch, Duan Qian, who was still upright just now, immediately screamed in pain, but what frightened him even more was the identity of the person who pinched him behind him.
