Chapter 1208

"Lord Gao, congratulations! Your Majesty is really quite satisfied with you this time, in the past ten years, there have been so many imperial generals in the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that you are the only one who can be crowned the prince of the country!"

On the side, Bian Lingcheng received the holy decree, and with a smile on his face, he strode over and congratulated:

"In addition, the rank generals, these wars have won a lot of victories, which has greatly boosted the national prestige of my Tang Dynasty, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials have drawn up a reward for you, I believe that it will not be long before the Ministry of War will send you a reward document. ”

The imperial court has the rules of the imperial court, such as Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, Feng Changqing, and the rewards for these important ministers, which are directly ruled by the Holy Emperor, drawn up on the holy decree, and declared the world, while other generals are drawn up by the Ministry of War.

"Thank you, sir!"

Gao Xianzhi lowered his head and bowed respectfully, and at the same time spread his hands and took the holy decree from Bian Lingcheng's hand. After several battles, the glory was added, and he actually became the prince of the country, which Gao Xianzhi never expected, but soon, Gao Xianzhi calmed down.

"Lord Bian, please forgive Xianzhi for his courage, it is also a reward, why has Wang Chong's reward not come down for a long time?"

Gao Xianzhi raised his head and asked.

Hum, as soon as Gao Xianzhi's voice fell, there was a sudden silence in the entire living room, and everyone's eyes looked at Bian Lingcheng and Wang Chong.

In terms of merit alone, Wang Chong is the real number one hero, if it weren't for him, Gao Xianzhi and the Anxi Du Protector would have died in Talas. Moreover, in the successive wars, whether it is Talas or Khorasan, Wang Chong is the real commander, and in terms of credit, Wang Chong is probably much bigger than Gao Xianzhi.

"Hahaha, look at your nervousness, the young Hou is the new young god of war in the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty is also very fond of the Hou Ye, this time he has made such a great skill, how can the saint and the court not know? The important ministers in the court, as well as the military department, the official department, as well as the prime minister and the saint, are all having a headache, how to reward the Hou Ye, now the controversy in the court is quite intense, and the reward for the Hou Ye will not come out so quickly for a while and a half, but it should be about the same in more than a month. ”

Bian Lingcheng said with a smile, but this time he was sincere, without half a point of falsehood.

He was really afraid of Wang Chong, Wang Chong not only had a prominent background and was favored by the Holy Emperor, but also had a close relationship with his top boss Gao Lishi Gao. He could dictate in front of Gao Xianzhi and hold his handle, but he didn't dare to do the same in front of Wang Chong.

Hearing Bian Lingcheng's words, everyone around immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Master Hou, congratulations. ”

Feng Changqing suddenly walked out and bowed respectfully in front of Wang Chong:

"Lord Hou has worked hard this time, even the adults of my family can be officially crowned the Duke of Qi, Lord Hou is the real first hero of this war, I believe that the court and the saint will only reward Lord Hou more generously. ”

In the hall, the generals of Anxi also nodded. Feng Changqing was right, as the protector of Gao Xianzhi and Anxi, he was rewarded to the Duke of Qi, and the rewards of the imperial court and the saints to Wang Chong would only be more generous.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Lord Feng, what Lord Feng said is good, the court will definitely reward your lordship heavily. ”

Everyone said heartily. Everyone is sincerely happy for Wang Chong, after putting in so much effort and sacrifice, everything has finally paid off, which is also what Wang Chong deserves.

Wang Chong just smiled faintly, it was never his concern to be crowned an official and rewarded, and defeating the Great Food and winning the victory of Talas and Khorasan was what he really cared about.

"Lord Bian, you must be tired all the way, so it's better to go down and rest. Yuanqing, take the adults down and take care of them. ”

Gao Xianzhi waved his hand and commanded.

"Yes, sir!"

Xi Yuanqing responded and hurriedly replied.

"Then there's Lord Law. ”

Bian Lingcheng hurriedly said. Wang Chong didn't open his mouth or speak, and Bian Lingcheng couldn't hold his thoughts, Wang Chong's calm smile, looking at Bian Lingcheng's eyes, immediately felt a burst of anxiety in his heart, seven up and eight down, where do you dare to stay here.

"Chisato, you can go down too. ”

Gao Xianzhi stared at Cheng Qianli and the other Anxi Du Protector generals, and continued.

In just a moment, there were only three people left in the entire conference hall, Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and Wang Chong, Gao Xianzhi looked at Wang Chong and said:

"Wang Chong, now there are only three of us left, do you have anything to say?"

From the very beginning, Gao Xianzhi noticed that Wang Chong seemed to have something to say to him, which was also the reason why he deliberately supported others. After a pause, Gao Xianzhi continued:

"Wang Chong, you may not know, Father-in-law Bian ......"

"How much did he ask you for?"

Before Gao Xianzhi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Chong. Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were stunned, raised their heads, and saw that Wang Chong's eyes were deep, staring at him tightly, as if he had penetrated all the secrets and thoughts in his heart.

The hall suddenly fell into an extremely eerie silence. Neither of them thought that Wang Chong would open his mouth to say this, the matter between Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng has always been a secret, and there are not many people who know it.

"How do you know?"

Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice.

"There is no impermeable wall in the world, as long as you have the heart to investigate, you can always find clues, and the promotion path of adults is inseparable from that Bian Lingcheng. ”

Wang Chong said calmly.

In the hall, the two were silent for a long time.

"Alas!"

After a long time, Gao Xianzhi raised his head and suddenly let out a long sigh:

"Since Lord Wang already knows, then I won't hide it. When he was young, he did such a wrong thing, and he has been constrained by this for more than ten years, and he will never be able to get rid of it. ”

Thinking of the past, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing sighed.

No one is young and doesn't make mistakes, Gao Xianzhi was also young, and there are also times when he is impulsive. Gao Xianzhi is conceited of his martial arts skills, and his art of war is far superior to his peers, but he has served under Tian Renwan and Fumeng Lingcha for so long, even if he has made meritorious contributions, he has never been able to take on important responsibilities. As a last resort, Gao Xianzhi when he was young made that move, but although he sat in the position of the protector of Anxi, he also left endless consequences.

"In the battle of Shiguo, how much money did Bian Lingcheng want?"

Wang Chong stood with his hands in his hands and went straight to the point.

"Six million taels of gold!"

A voice sounded in his ears, but it was Feng Changqing on the side who spoke.

"Buzz!"

Hearing this number, even Wang Chong couldn't help but jump his eyelids. In the Battle of Talas, he asked the imperial court for support, and the household department allocated a total of 10 million taels of gold to him, and he hesitated for a long time.

In the first battle of Shiguo, Bian Lingcheng asked for six million taels of gold at one time, which was almost close to Wang Chong's military expenses for participating in the Battle of Talas, and you must know that Wang Chong used that money to hire nearly 100,000 troops.

"And what about this time?"

Wang Chong continued.

Gao Xianzhi was silent and did not speak for a long time. Or Feng Changqing on the side replied again:

"Eighty million taels of gold!"

"Bastard!"

Hearing this number, even if Wang Chong had been prepared, he couldn't help but jump his eyelids, and his face changed suddenly. Eighty million taels, this is gold, Wang Chong and Gao Xianzhi extorted 1.9 billion taels of gold from the Great Food Empire, Bian Lingcheng obviously knew the news, so he opened his mouth to be eighty million taels. From six million taels to eighty million taels, the appetite has skyrocketed tenfold, and if this situation continues, let alone Gao Xianzhi, even Wang Chong can't satisfy this kind of request.

The appetite is getting bigger and bigger every time, and if it goes on like this, it will not be enough to give all the 1.9 billion taels of gold to Bian Lingcheng, and as long as it can't satisfy Bian Lingcheng's appetite, I'm afraid that he will immediately turn his face.

"This bastard, what a guts! Does he really think that the money we extorted from Da Shi is his private property!"

Wang Chong was rarely angry, but when he heard Bian Lingcheng's appetite, he couldn't help but be furious:

"If I had known he was so greedy, I would have killed him just now!"

"Wang Chong, no!"

Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were greatly disillusioned when they heard this.

"Bian Lingcheng is the general of the prison gate, and he is a messenger sent by the Holy Lord, killing him is tantamount to despising the Holy Emperor. ”

"Eighty million taels is just what he said, and there is no conclusive evidence, so he rashly killed the head of the imperial family, I am afraid that it will be extremely unfavorable to Du Hu and the entire Wang family. Now that the strong enemy is on the side, you must not mess up because of this kind of villain. ”

The two hurriedly persuaded.

Wang Chong didn't speak, but the anger in his eyes was even stronger, and he finally understood why Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing invited him over. However, even the two of them probably didn't expect in advance that Wang Chong knew much more about the relationship between them and Bian Lingcheng than they imagined.

"I'll leave this matter to me to deal with, a eunuch, pretending to be the emperor's order, it's really bold!"

Wang Chong's eyes breathed fire.

"Wang Chong, this matter must not be done!"

Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing's faces changed.

"Two adults, don't worry, I won't kill him, I have my own way to deal with this kind of eunuch!"

Wang Chong glanced at the two of them and said calmly. Although there was a burst of anger in his heart, Wang Chong had not lost his mind, and he didn't need brute force to deal with a eunuch like Bian Lingcheng, a greedy person like this, and he had been a prison general for many years, with his appetite, there was definitely more than one Gao Xianzhi to ask for it.

Before and after Gao Xianzhi, there must have been other victims.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, as long as he catches his flaws, even if Bian Lingcheng has great ability, he can't escape the palm of his hand.

Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing looked at Wang Chong, and when they saw that he didn't look like he was going to act recklessly, they immediately rushed out to kill Bian Lingcheng, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Coming out of the conference hall, Wang Chong quickly recruited Zhang Que, and in addition, another letter was sent to Yang Hongchang, a member of the Yang clan in the Western Regions. The Yang family has been in the Western Regions for many years, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant, if Bian Lingcheng has any handle, then it is definitely the most suitable to find out about the Yang family.

In addition to the Western Regions, Wang Chong also sent a letter to King Song and Yang Zhao, who were far away in Beijing.
