Chapter 1237: Dismantling the Box Army!

Chapter 1237

"Chong'er is doing well!"

Through his eyes, Wang Jian did not hide his admiration. In the situation just now, even Wang Chong thought that Wang Chong was going to be trapped, but the peak turned around, which made Wang Chong shine in the court meeting on the first day, attracting the admiration of the courtiers.

From martial arts to literature, especially when it comes to political participation, there is a huge gap, so most of the generals are silent, and only occasionally speak when it comes to military affairs, but in this regard, Wang Chong is obviously quite free.

And above the main hall, on the high steps, the Holy Emperor was motionless, as majestic as a mountain. It's impossible to guess his joys, sorrows, and sorrows. But Gao Lishi on the side nodded imperceptibly. Although Wang Chong also has the problem of being young and self-willed, whether it is in domestic affairs or military affairs, Wang Chong is indeed a powerful hand.

Jixian's deliberations ended quickly, and there was significantly less targeting and hostility towards Wang Chong. Some Wenchen occasionally mentioned Wang Chong, and they also had a taste of respect, which was completely different from the previous situation.

With the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer things that need to be discussed by the court, and in this regard, Datang still maintains extreme efficiency, and it is precisely because of this efficiency that the Holy Emperor has stripped out a considerable number of government affairs and ruled by the arch.

Wang Chong silently observed everything, and gradually understood the imperial court's participation in politics and various mysterious procedures. Before you know it, it's time to disperse.

"Your Majesty!

At this time, an official who had no impression of Wang Chong suddenly walked out of the train. Holding the wat board, he bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty has an order, say it!"

Gao Lishi glanced at the Tang Holy Emperor on the dragon chair and suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, now that the Tang Dynasty is leveling all over the world, all the Yidi around the Tang Dynasty are all under the power of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court has also signed an agreement with the states to trade with each other, in order to reduce the taxes and servitude of the people, the minister proposes to dismantle the Xiang army, and after giving a certain amount of compensation, let them return to the township, farm the land, and engage in production!"

Rumble!

As soon as the official's voice fell, the entire court immediately exploded, and all the generals looked at the official and glared angrily. Even Wang Chong changed his face at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the minister is against it!"

"Ridiculous! The Xiangjun system was established by Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, and it affected the national system, and the ministers opposed it!"

"Eliminate the box army, unless I die! You Wenchen, you just want to target our generals! The young marquis has been transferred back by you, and the guards everywhere have been abolished, what else do you want!"

"Since what you said is the truth, it is better to simply withdraw all the troops and generals, and if something happens, you Wenchen will personally go into battle to fight!"

......

In the main hall, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and all the generals of the military were furious, and even the eyes of the military department Shangshu Zhang Qiu and Qiong showed a sense of anger.

"Bastard, so you generals are trying to blackmail the court?"

Soon another Wenchen walked out of the train and scolded sharply.

"The civil ministers govern the country, and the military generals fight the borders, this is everyone's respective duties. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been wars every year, the national strength has been empty, and the people have lost money, and now is not the time to take advantage of the good situation to dismantle the army and improve the people's livelihood!"

A third strange civil official walked out of the train.

Then came the fifth, sixth...... More and more civilian officials have also joined the crusade against the generals. Especially the military general who threatened each other, was even more decent.

Although on the battlefield, Wenchen was powerless and was no match for the generals at all, but the court was not a battlefield, and force was useless here. All military generals, regardless of their cultivation, will not take advantage of them at all.

"Your Majesty! The minister wants to impeach General Zheng, and he is alarmist, misleading the people, and harming the national body! The minister will also join him for the crime of dereliction of duty!"

On the other side, King Qi took a look, and his ministers also joined the crusade against the generals.

In the court, if the king of Song is a staunch main war faction, then the king of Qi is a staunch anti-war faction. In this regard, he and these ministers are in the same vein and coincide.

On the main hall, Wang Chong stood at the end of the train, watching Wen Chen's step-by-step attack on the generals, his pupils slowly contracted, and his eyes became more and more cold.

Khorasan's army has retreated, the guards everywhere have also been removed, the Confucian prison army has even infiltrated all levels of the army, the military has retreated again and again, Wang Chong never thought that they would be unforgiving, and they still wanted to take the box army.

In the event of a war, the elite can also be extracted from the box army from all over the country, supplemented and quickly restored to the previous state of total victory, but if even the box army is abolished, it is a complete decision on the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

The controversy between the civil and military forces in the court became more and more intense, and just when all the military generals and civil servants were attacking them and criticizing them, suddenly a loud voice sounded in the main hall.

"Your Majesty!

Hearing this voice, there was a sudden dead silence above the huge hall, all the arguments disappeared in an instant, and a famous military general looked in the direction of Wang Chong, looking excited and greatly encouraged.

"Outlander King!"

Now in the entire military, Wang Chong has a supreme position, although the rise time is very short, but in terms of influence, even the two border protectors and generals cannot be compared.

Wang Chong alone weighed more than all the generals in the hall. Not to mention that Wang Chong was born illustrious, and his grandfather Wang Jiuling is a virtuous minister admired by the entire Tang Dynasty, which is not comparable to any general.

"Lord Wang, what do you mean by that?"

At this time, the strange Wenchen, who had previously proposed to dismantle the box army, suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Chong, and the eyes of others also fell on Wang Chong. The entire hall could be heard falling pins and needles, and the atmosphere was tense and became subtle.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the proposal to abolish the box army is unnecessary and can be directly abolished!"

Wang Chong didn't even pay attention to the Wenchen who spoke, but looked up at the Holy Emperor above the main hall.

"Wang Chong! You are presumptuous! The battles of the Protectorate of all sides have caused a great burden to the people every year, do you still want to persist like this?"

Another Wenchen walked out, completely enraged by Wang Chong's attitude.

"So, what do you mean, the soldiers are forgetting their lives and deaths on the border to protect their families and defend the country, they are enjoying luxury, are they the common people?"

Wang Chong turned his head and glanced faintly at the Wenchen who spoke, his eyes were extremely cold.

Hearing this, the Wenchen looked stunned and was speechless for a moment. Even if he had the courage to be dissatisfied with the soldiers, he would not dare to say such a thing.

"Your Majesty! The ministers impeach these civil ministers who are misleading the people with these fallacies and harming the national system! I ask Your Majesty that they remove them from their official positions and deal with them severely!"

Wang Chong said coldly.

From the time he stepped into the main hall to the present, Wang Chong has always given the impression of being gentle and heavy, but the proposal to dismantle the box army completely angered him. This is the first time that Wang Chong has impeached the court's ministers after he became king, and there are more than a dozen people at a time.

In an instant, in the court, the aggressive momentum of the civil officials was immediately suppressed a lot, although Wang Chong participated in the court politics as a counselor of Pingzhang, but his identity was placed there after all, the first foreign king of the Tang Dynasty, the weight of which was not comparable to ordinary people.

The civil and military officials of the imperial court, even Wang Chong's uncle Wang Gan was inferior to Wang Chong, let alone others.

The old man knows that you have just been canonized, and it is the time when the spring breeze is proud and the young man is angry. However, you have just participated in the court meeting for the first time, and you actually know that it is bold to take on your identity and bully other ministers. The advice of the official was approved by Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, and it was also adopted by the kings of all dynasties. Blocking the way of speech is tantamount to blinding the Holy Hearing, which is a disaster for the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty, the old minister impeached Wang Chong, the king of the foreign land, and acted boldly and recklessly, blocking the way of speech, asking His Majesty to regain his title, demote him to a commoner, and never hire him!"

Suddenly, an old voice came. Above the main hall, close to the white jade steps, and where the Holy Emperor was, he had been meditating with his eyes closed, and the old lady who had been motionless in a rosewood Taishi chair suddenly stood up, turned around, and looked at Wang Chong under the hall, his expression was extremely cold.

Old lady, Zhan Zhongmi!

The head of the Wenchen of the entire Tang Dynasty!

As soon as the Taishi spoke, the entire hall was like a cold wind, from the vigorous early spring to the cold winter. The entire court was silent, even the generals didn't dare to speak casually, and even King Song's face changed slightly. The old lady is highly respected and has great influence, if Wang Chong can't deal with it well, it is likely to affect his future career and future.

King Song was worried about Wang Chong's future, but Wang Chong's thoughts were completely different from those of King Song.

"Humph!"

Wang Chong snorted coldly, even in the face of this respected old lady of the Tang Dynasty, he had no intention of backing down. The strategy of the Xiang army is the foundation of the country, Confucianism deceives people too much, and he still wants to do something on the foundation of the soldier, let alone the old lady today, even if his identity is ten times more powerful, he will never back down.

This is no longer a simple civil and military dispute, a war between soldiers and Confucianism, but has shaken the cornerstone of this empire. If Wang Chong retreats from this, I am afraid that the entire Datang is really not far from extinction.

"Old lady, you are the elder of the Second Dynasty, Wang Chong has always respected you! I can't imagine that your selfishness is so heavy, for your own selfishness, you actually abolish the public because of selfishness, it is really disappointing, it is shameful!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Chong, wearing a big red robe, suddenly took a few steps forward, and the first sentence he said made the whole hall in an uproar.

"Chong'er!"

Wang Yan hurriedly shouted, his face turned a lot whiter. The identity of the old lady is not trivial, the influence is too great, and it cannot be directly contradicted, Wang Chong is still too young after all.

"Presumptuous! Even if Wang Bowu is here today, he won't dare to do this! Is this how he taught you?!"

The old lady was furious, and the whole hall buzzed.
