Chapter 1242: Seeing the Sun!
Chapter 1242
"The Great Prince......
Wang Chong muttered to himself in his heart, remembering the eldest prince he met near the city gate when he entered the palace on the first day. No wonder the Great Prince would be there that day, and no wonder those resolutions would pass.
However, the five princes are correct, so everything is explained.
"I know about this matter, you don't want anyone else to know about it for the time being. Also, be careful with the people around you. ”
Wang Chong said.
"Huh?!"
Hearing Wang Chong's last words, Li Heng was stunned for a moment.
"Alas!"
Wang Chong sighed, and said what the eldest prince said before he left. Hearing that the relationship between himself and Wang Chong was known by the eldest prince, Li Heng's whole person was like a lightning strike.
"How so?"
Li Heng's face turned a lot paler all of a sudden. He thought that the relationship between himself and Wang Chong was very secret, but he didn't expect that he had already been completely exposed under the nose of the eldest prince, and more importantly, he had already understood what Wang Chong meant. There is no doubt that the eldest prince has installed a checkpoint by his side.
"There is no impermeable wall in the world, the eldest prince has been operating in the palace for many years, and he is skillful, and it is quite good that the secret between us can be hidden from him until now, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to expose it now. ”
Wang Chong said.
"But I don't know who the spy he planted next to me is, and I've just recruited a bunch of people now, and if I suddenly become suspicious and suspicious, it's likely to cause panic in people, and everyone will leave me, and then I'll fall for the big brother's trick. ”
The fifth prince, Li Heng, said with an uneasy expression.
Hearing this, even Wang Chong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Your Highness, at this time and at that time, you have indeed grown!"
Wang Chong said with emotion.
Ordinary people know the truth, and they will only be panicked and anxious, looking at how to find out that person, but the fifth prince can still consider the impact of this matter, just point to one point, the fifth prince Li Heng is already completely different from before.
"As for the matter of the eldest prince planting a spy next to you, leave it to Li Jingzhong to deal with. As long as you tell him about it, with his ability, I believe he will have a way to find those people out. ”
No one understands the ability of this great traitor better than Wang Chong, and I am afraid that no one is better at speculating on people's hearts, distinguishing between enemies and spies, and spies, which is why Wang Chong did not get rid of him immediately and still left him by the side of the five princes.
- As long as he uses it well, Li Jingzhong's ability is probably stronger than that of more than a dozen powerhouses in the Imperial Martial Realm.
"Understood! I'll let Uncle Jing deal with this matter when I go back!"
Li Heng said in a deep voice.
"By the way, there's one more thing!"
Wang Chong pondered for a moment and continued:
"There is a eunuch in the palace called Niu Xiantong, in the affairs of His Majesty's side, it is difficult to contact him with my identity, when you go back, let Li Jingzhong help me make an appointment, I have something I want to find him. ”
"Okay!"
The fifth prince, Li Heng, was a little absent-minded.
Knowing that there were spies planted by others around him, no one could handle them calmly, Wang Chong knew that Li Heng's mind was no longer here, and he didn't say much, and after a while, he personally sent the fifth prince Li Heng away from the back door.
Waiting for the five princes to leave, Wang Chong pondered for a moment and quickly entered the study. The door of the study was closed, and there was a sudden silence inside, Wang Chong leaned back against the sandalwood chair, crossed his fingers with his hands, his eyes slightly closed, and his face was full of thinking.
Wang Chong now likes more and more to be alone and think silently when he encounters big events.
"The eldest prince, Li Linfu, King Qi, the old lady...... Who is the real mastermind behind the scenes? The Great Prince, Li Linfu, or all of them?"
Wang Chong's heart has been up and down for two consecutive days, and he has slowly pieced together the truth of the entire court, and he has gradually touched the existence of his opponent.
Something has happened and can't be changed, but at least he can stop things from getting worse.
The room was getting quieter and quieter, and Wang Chong's mind was running faster and faster. In the past few days, Wang Chong has been watching, listening, and thinking, and when a lot of information has been gathered, the fog in front of Wang Chong's eyes has slowly decreased.
"It's not the old lady!"
In the dark, Wang Chong remembered what King Song had said, and his eyes gradually became sharper:
"The old lady is old, and he has always been wise to protect himself, no matter how strong his ability is, he can only mobilize the court, and will not collude with the eldest prince. It won't be the King of Qi, he doesn't have that much courage, and he still has a lot of generals under his command, so it won't do him much good to do this. ”
Wang Chong's ten fingers didn't know when to pull apart, his right hand was on the table, and his index finger was unconsciously tapping gently, and each time he percussed a crisp sound, his mind became clearer and clearer.
"Li Linfu's city is very deep, he does things exquisitely, never shows the dew, such a high-profile style of doing things is not in line with his character, as for the eldest prince...... , Although he is the eldest son of the Holy Emperor and the first heir to the emperor's position, before he really inherits the unification, he does not have the ability to mobilize King Qi, Old Taishi, and Li Linfu at the same time. But if it weren't for them, what kind of person would have such great ability to mobilize the four top figures of the dynasty at the same time!"
Wang Chong tilted his head slightly, staring at the roof of the study with his eyes, and the index finger of his right hand unconsciously tapped faster and faster on the table. Bang bang, the dense sound was like a storm.
Wang Chong was crowned the king of foreign lands, and he was already a very human minister, but even if he was himself, it was impossible to order Li Linfu, Lao Taishi, and King Qi, the most prominent figures in the Tang Dynasty.
"But no matter who you are, you can't hide for long! No matter what, I want you to show your true form in front of me, and you still take the initiative to find me!"
Unconsciously, Wang Chong's pupils shrank, and the percussion of his index finger became slower and slower, but it became more and more powerful.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, Wang Chong's back was straight, and his eyes were extremely sharp.
This attack on the soldiers was like a raging storm, too fierce and too sharp. Wang Chong left Khorasan on the front foot, and the troops of the major metropolitan protectorates had been reduced on the back foot, and the Confucian scholars entered the military ranks of all levels, became the prison army, and began to restrain the capital guards in various places, all of which were too fast and too fast, and it was absolutely impossible to say that there was no one in the middle of the command behind the scenes and coordinated everything. And Wang Chong's purpose is to find out this person.
In the past two or three days, Wang Chong seemed to be casual, either meeting the Holy Emperor or participating in the early dynasty, and it didn't seem that there was any special move, but in fact, Wang Chong had been observing everything in his own way and obtaining information.
Sitting still has never been his own style, Khorasan is too far away from the Jingshi, and Wang Chong can't reach it, but now, it's his turn to make a move.
"Almost......"
I don't know how long it took, Wang Chong tapped his fingers and turned his head to look out of the open window. Whoosh, the next moment, it seemed to respond to Wang Chong's heart, the light flashed, and two figures appeared in Wang Chong's study through the open window.
"See the prince!"
A deep voice sounded in the study, and the eagle, dressed in a black robe, knelt on the ground with another figure, with a respectful expression.
The second man who appeared was very unfamiliar, but judging from his demeanor, he obviously had a lot of respect for the eagle, and everything was based on his horse, and he was obviously a subordinate recruited by the eagle.
For more than half a year, Eagle has been building a secret intelligence network in his own way, and in private, even Wang Chong has difficulty estimating how many people he has recruited.
"How?"
Wang Chong sat in the sandalwood chair without raising his head.
"Back to the prince, according to your orders, everything has been prepared, everything you want is here.
The eagle knelt down on one knee and said as he took out a thick stack of files from his bosom, held them in both hands, and respectfully handed them over.
"Got it, put things on the table, there must be no leakage of today's affairs, understand?"
Wang Chong said in a deep voice.
"Yes!
The eagle and the entourage quickly left the study, and everything was calm again, but a strange ripple had already spread among the Jingshi.
Time passed slowly, and unconsciously, night fell, and until late at night, Wang Chong did not leave the Wang family's mansion.
"Let's go! It looks like he's accepted his fate. ”
"Hmm!"
More than ten zhang away from the Wang family's mansion, two figures slowly emerged from behind the eaves, and their bodies disappeared quickly.
......
The moon sets and the sun rises, and in the blink of an eye, it is the next day.
When Wang Chong arrived at the court and stood at the end of the train, he obviously felt that today's atmosphere was completely different from usual, and a pair of eyes glanced in the direction of Wang Chong from time to time, with a faint trace of fear in his eyes.
The ministers in the court are no longer as aggressive as yesterday, and as far as they can see, whether it is Li Linfu or King Qi, they have converged a lot, and when they stand in the court, they try their best to avoid the direction of Wang Chong. And the old lady, who usually arrives early, came late this time, and did not appear until the beginning of the court meeting, and his face was gloomy and ugly throughout the whole process.
——was ridiculed by Wang Chong yesterday, and in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, with the temper of the old lady, where can he hang on his face, and if he changes to someone else, he may not participate in the early dynasty in the next few days. But it is absolutely impossible to let the old lady do this, even if he dies, he will never admit that he lost to a hairy boy.
And when the atmosphere on Wenchen's side was depressed, on the other hand, on the military general's side, they were beaming with joy and the atmosphere was much more relaxed. The appearance of Wang Chong has made the pressure on the shoulders of all the generals much less, and they are no longer suppressed by the prime minister, King Qi, the old lady, and many civil servants as before.
To a certain extent, some generals were even glad that they withdrew Wang Chong from Khorasan and transferred him to the court in time, changing the power pattern of the entire court, which was also an unexpected gain.
