Chapter 1209: Subdue Bian Lingcheng!
Chapter 1209
King Song is a royal prince and nobleman, and he has great influence in Beijing, while behind Yang Zhao stands Concubine Taizhen, with Concubine Taizhen's power and the degree of favor in the palace, it is really easy to investigate a eunuch. Even if Bian Lingcheng is the general of the prison gate personally appointed by the Holy Emperor, in front of Concubine Taizhen, he is insignificant.
Wang Chong believes that whether it is in the court or on the border, with a greedy character like Bian Lingcheng, he will definitely leave many clues.
Yang Hongchang's news came much faster than expected. Three days later, Wang Chong got the news he wanted.
Ten days later, Wang Chong also got a message from King Song and Yang Zhao. King Song didn't ask a word, but according to Wang Chong's needs, he sent a stack of detailed information. However, Yang Zhao asked a few words with great curiosity while sending the information, Yang Zhao was quite curious about Wang Chong's going to investigate a eunuch, but despite this, the news he gave was more detailed than anyone else.
......
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!"
When Wang Chong threw the pile of information in front of Bian Lingcheng with a bang, the third largest traitor in the history of the Tang Dynasty immediately turned pale, knelt on the ground with a bang, and smashed his head like garlic.
According to the rules of the imperial court, after the decree was pronounced, he should have left Khorasan long ago. But because of his greed, he couldn't get the 80 million taels of gold he wanted, so Bian Lingcheng delayed the trip for more than ten days and delayed it until now. He originally thought that when he got the news this time, it was Gao Xianzhi who figured something out, but he never expected that this was what he was waiting for in the end.
Looking at the stack of materials on the ground, Bian Ling Chengcheng was shocked, and the whole person was about to collapse, and the cold sweat on his forehead suddenly flowed out like rain. The information on this is all about his corruption and bribery, as well as all kinds of information on buying and selling officials, and some of the information is even clearer than Bian Lingcheng himself, and he suddenly woke up and remembered it when he saw these news.
"Bian Lingcheng, you are just a eunuch, relying on the token given to you by His Majesty, you actually did evil in the army, wantonly amassed wealth, and even dared to blackmail such an important minister of the empire as the capital of Anxi. Do you know that this alone is enough to cut you with a thousand knives!
Wang Chong was condescending, standing with his hands in his hands, and looked coldly at Bian Lingcheng who was kneeling in front of him, his expression was extremely cold.
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!"
Bian Lingcheng sweated like rain, his head was like pounding garlic, and he hit the ground with a bang, and he didn't even know that his forehead was broken. At this moment, there was a great fear in his heart, the guilt that Wang Chong had collected was so complete that Bian Lingcheng couldn't even find words to refute and justify.
As Wang Chong, as long as he handed these in, he was almost a dead end.
"Hmph, for the sake of you once secretly aiding Lord Gao, I will spare your dog's life for the time being. If you let me know that you are still blackmailing Master Gao with what happened at the beginning, still extorting, buying and selling officials, you will be a dead end. With my abilities, you should know that wherever you flee to, I know for sure. ”
Wang Chong said coldly.
"The little one understands, the little one understands! Adults can rest assured, even if the villain has 100,000 guts, he will never dare to blackmail the tall man. ”
Bian Lingcheng was full of panic, and cold sweat was like rain.
"Very well, you can take these things!"
Wang Chong pointed to a wooden box next to him, and Bian Lingcheng raised his head with a face full of surprise.
"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare!"
Where did Bian Lingcheng dare to take Wang Chong's things at this time.
"If you are told to take it, you will take it!"
Wang Chong said coldly, a chill in his eyes.
Bian Lingcheng's heart trembled, he dared to say more, walked all the way to the periphery, lowered his head, and took the wooden box from the table.
"Why don't you open it and take a look?"
Wang Chong stared at Bian Lingcheng and said lightly.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Bian Lingcheng opened the wooden box with a snap, and when he saw the contents inside, Ling Cheng was stunned for a moment.
"This ......"
The contents of the wooden box were nothing else, but a thick stack of gold dollar coupons, each of which had a very large denomination, and it was roughly estimated that there were at least five or six million taels of gold dollar coupons inside.
Bian Lingcheng raised his head and looked at Wang Chong, and the whole person was stunned.
"This is six million taels of gold, take it, I also see that you have helped Master Gao, and you have made meritorious contributions to the society. This money is enough for you to eat for a long time, and if you dare to reach out and ask for it everywhere, you will definitely be killed. ”
Wang Chong said coldly.
Bian Lingcheng was covered in a cold sweat, and the real six dared to say more:
"Thank you, sir!"
"Go ahead!"
Wang Chong waved his hand.
Bian Lingcheng originally thought that he would die, but now not only did he not die, but he also got such a big benefit, and suddenly it was as if he was dead and escaped, where did he dare to stay too much. However, just after taking a few steps, Bian Lingcheng hesitated a few times and suddenly stopped again.
"What's the matter, is there anything else you can do?"
Wang Chong said coldly.
"The villain doesn't dare!"
Bian Lingcheng trembled, with a look of fear in his eyes:
It's just that the villain remembered that there was another thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not, it is related to Hou Ye. ”
The last sentence Bian Lingcheng emphasized.
"Say it!"
Wang Chong waved his hand, unimpressed.
"When the villain was in Beijing, he also heard some news. Although Hou Ye has made great contributions in the Western Regions this time, the entire court is discussing how to reward Hou Ye, but the Confucian side has a lot of complaints about Hou Ye. ”
Bian Lingcheng said.
"Oh?"
Wang Chong frowned, but he was quickly relieved, the previous battle of Talas Wenchen and military generals fought very hard, and the Confucian Wenchen led by Taishi rebounded very strongly against this war, and for his own sake, grandpa even came forward in person and clashed with Taishi in the court. Now that the imperial court wants to reward the royal family in a big way, it is common sense that there are opposition voices on the Confucian side.
"Got it, you can tell me that you have a heart for this matter, go down!"
Wang Chong waved his hand.
Regardless of whether the information provided by a traitor like Bian Lingcheng is useful or not, at least he is willing to tell himself that this kind of thing is intentional, and it is not in vain that he spent six million taels of gold.
"Yes!"
Bian Lingcheng bowed down and quickly retreated, leaving only Wang Chong in the entire hall.
"Lord Duhu, why did you give him six million taels of gold when you had already caught him?"
A voice suddenly came from behind him, and with a burst of footsteps, Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi walked out from behind a curtain behind the main hall together, and the two looked at the direction Bian Lingcheng left, and a light flashed in their eyes.
The whole process of Wang Chong and Bian Lingcheng's conversation was clearly seen in the rear, and the two originally thought that with Wang Chong's character, Bian Lingcheng might be a dead end. Unexpectedly, Wang Chong not only turned over Bian Lingcheng, but also gave him a sum of money in the end. This is completely different from Wang Chong in everyone's impression.
"A traitor has the usage of a traitor, although Bian Lingcheng is greedy, but his own ability is still undoubted, as long as his ambition is deterred, he can be used by us, maybe it will play a role when, and I also need to use him for a plan. ”
Wang Chong said lightly.
No matter how greedy Bian Lingcheng is, after all, he has also achieved Gao Xianzhi, if it weren't for him, this empire would probably have one less Anxi God of War. From this point of view, Bian Lingcheng himself is still somewhat useful. At least there are so many people, he can identify Gao Xianzhi, and under the threat of Fu Meng Lingcha, he can recommend it to the Holy Emperor, which can be reflected.
This is also one of the reasons why Wang Chong spared his life.
Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were silent, Wang Chong didn't say what the plan was, and Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing also tacitly didn't ask.
Time passed in a flash, Bian Lingcheng left with six million taels of gold yuan coupons, and the whole Khorasan returned to normal, and everything was in order under the arrangement of Feng Changqing and Wang Chong. Before you know it, a month has passed.
"Report!"
It was early in the morning, and a shout outside the city of Khorasan shook the earth, and in the distance, smoke and dust billowed from afar, and an iron rider stepped over the bridge built above the Tigris River and rushed all the way into the city of Khorasan.
Thirty miles outside the city, traces of the Great Eclipse Army have been found, with a total number of more than 500,000 people, and they are heading towards Khorasan!"
As soon as the herald entered the hall, he immediately fell to his knees, panting.
"What, the Great Cannibal is here again!"
Hearing the news, the leaders of the rebel army in the main hall, Huo, stood up, and they were all excited.
From the Battle of Talas to the Battle of Khorasan, the entire Great Food Empire has lost more than a million troops, and no one expected that after the ice and snow melted, they would make a comeback so soon.
"My lord, I'll go and gather people immediately, and we'll teach them another lesson!"
"My lord, I ask to take the initiative to deal with the big cannibals!"
A group of rebel leaders looked at the top of the hall, representing the leader of the coalition forces, Wang Chong on the throne.
"No need!"
Wang Chong smiled indifferently, and waved his hand slightly in the stunned eyes of everyone.
"It's just a few hundred thousand food troops, and I've already arranged everything! Bahram, is it okay?"
"Lord Hui, everything is ready, and all the armies can enter a state of combat readiness at any time to annihilate the incoming enemy!"
A deep voice sounded in the main hall, and Bahram stood not far from the main hall, standing like a statue of a god, exuding a strong aura all over his body.
"Good! Let's get started!"
A terrifying light flashed in Wang Chong's eyes, his hands pressed on the armrests of the throne, and he slowly stood up from the seat, and at that moment, the mountains shook, and a majestic aura erupted from him.
War is on the verge of breaking out.
......
Outside the city of Khorasan was quiet, only the sound of the murmuring of the Tigris River, and the low sound of the wind in the sky, I don't know how long it took, boom, suddenly a trembling sound came from a distance, at first it was undetectable, but in a short time, it increased to an astonishing level.
"Look there!"
A voice suddenly sounded from the head of Talas, breaking the peace, and the next moment, in the eyes of countless people, a surging black tide surged towards here from the horizon.
In the middle of the army, the near flag fluttered, and the huge black food battle flag fluttered in the wind, showing great glory. After fighting the Great Food Empire for so long, everyone is very familiar with the battle flag of the Great Cannibal.
