Chapter 1223: The Undercurrent at the City Gate!
Chapter 1223
"What a good one, do your best, and be worthy of your heart! Wang family boy, the old man used to underestimate you!"
Yan Wenzhang looked at the young man in front of him, and a light flashed in his eyes:
"If you can really do what you said, not superficial in personnel and not in fame, the old man will really admire you!"
Wang Chong just smiled indifferently and didn't say anything. There are some things that he doesn't bother to explain, and he doesn't have to explain.
"Haha, what are you still doing in a daze, it's rare to be a young man, this is the first king with a different surname in my Tang Dynasty, you can't let a few old imperial historians and Taishi make them beautiful. Come, bring out my gifts!"
Just as Tai Shiling and Wang Chong were talking, in the distance, I don't know who shouted loudly, and in an instant, a group of people immediately rushed up.
"Young Hou, this is a little thing I prepared, the battle of Khorasan, Hou Ye let us have a great reputation in the Tang Dynasty, I can't think of what to send, so I let my family bring some souvenirs, and I hope Hou Ye will not dislike it!"
The first to come out was Jiang Yuanrang, the general of Fengyan.
In the Battle of Talas, there was a fierce dispute in the court over whether to send troops to reinforce Wang Chong, and Jiang Yuanrang, as a military figure in the same line as Wang Chong, was one of the staunch supporters. This time Wang Chong came back, and there was no one happier than Jiang Yuanrang.
"Haha, young Hou, Cao Qianzong, who is serving in the lower military department, a little bit of courtesy is not a respect, and I hope that Hou Ye will accept it!"
On the side, Cao Qianzong also stepped forward, his face full of joy. With these two people taking the lead, a group of people rushed to be the first to rush with gifts, surrounding Wang Chong.
"Young Hou, in the lower capital city of Wei, he once sent troops to help the adults fight against Nanzhao together, and I specially presented a big gift to the adults!"
"The Zhangjia family in the capital came to offer a post, and at the same time a big gift was included to congratulate the adults on their triumph!"
"The Duke of Cao sent someone to send a big gift, wishing you a high ascension!"
"The Mansion of the Kingdom of Yu will give a big gift!"
"The Tanguo Mansion will give you a big gift!"
"Prince De gives a big gift, I wish the young man * Xuan!"
"Shouwangfu sent a gift to congratulate the young man!"
"Shangshu Zuo Servant Fang Ming has seen the young Hou, and he will give him a congratulatory gift!"
"Yinqing Guanglu Doctor Wei Wuhen congratulates the young man * Xuan and sends a congratulatory gift!"
"Prince Zhan Shi Huang Qiwei sent a congratulatory gift!"
......
In an instant, countless voices sounded in Wang Chong's ears at the same time, this time Wang Chong returned to Beijing, I don't know how many people were alarmed, almost all the characters with heads and faces in the Beijing division sent people over, and even the crown prince Zhan Shi sent people over, and the scene looked very lively for a while.
"The crown prince sent a congratulatory gift from Wang Zhonghei!"
Suddenly, in the midst of the boiling crowd, a voice rang loudly and clearly. Just in a word, the originally noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. Even Wang Chong was stunned for a moment and looked in the direction of the sound.
The crown prince Shaobao Wang Zhonghei, there is another more prominent name, "Tang Dynasty God of War"! More than ten years ago, in the whole world, there was no more prominent name. Looking at the world, there is no name that shocks the surrounding nations more than this name. Wang Chong didn't expect that he and the crown prince Shaobao Wang Zhongji had never met, and this time when he returned to Beijing, he would actually send someone to send a congratulatory gift in person.
The crowd suddenly fell silent, and following the direction from which the voice came, Wang Chong saw at a glance the person who spoke, he was wearing a cyan robe, he looked inconspicuous, mixed in a group of people, and few people paid attention. But the straight body, resolute eyes, and brave and fearless temperament deeply revealed the strong imprint of the owner behind him.
"Thank you!"
Wang Chong parted the crowd, walked over, and bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Trouble to report to Lord Wang on my behalf, I accepted his gift, and Wang Chong will come to the door to thank you another day!"
"Hou Ye doesn't have to be polite, my family said that Hou Ye did what he didn't do, and he also admired Hou Ye very much. From now on, Hou Ye is the real god of war in my Tang Dynasty. Everyone is an official in the same dynasty and serves the court together, as long as they can make Middle-earth strong and make the Tang Dynasty prosperous, what does it matter if they don't see each other or say thank you?"
The green-clothed servant said loudly, and as soon as his voice fell, Wang Chong couldn't help but be in awe in his heart. Although I have not seen the most legendary existence of Datang more than ten years ago, just by this subordinate and the words he asked someone to say, you can know what kind of person the Datang God of War is.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi congratulates the young man on his special gift!"
It was at this time that a high-pitched voice came, loud and loud, breaking the silence. In an instant, everyone turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became a little weird after the word King Qi appeared.
The King of Qi and the King of Song and the Wang family are natural enemies, and the two sides do not know how many rounds they have fought in the court. This time, Wang Chong triumphed from Khorasan, and no one expected that the king of Qi would actually send someone to come.
At this moment, the only one who remained calm and unmoved was Wang Chong.
Since announcing the holy decree in Khorasan and descending in the dark, and knowing in Moxi that the Tang Dynasty had withdrawn from the army, everything that Khorasan had painstakingly managed had come to naught, and now there was no news that could shake him, and Wang Chong was mentally prepared to deal with everything in his heart.
Wang Chong's expression was calm, and he turned his head sharply to look in the direction where the voice came from.
"Wow!"
Just at the densest part of the crowd, a somewhat feminine figure pushed away the crowd and walked out:
"Young Hou, congratulations, this Western Expedition has established such a great feat, looking at the world, everyone knows it. When the young Hou arrived in Beijing, almost no one in the Manchu Dynasty did not know, and there was no one who did not send someone to congratulate and greet him, the young Hou was full of spirits, and he was about to be crowned king, which is really gratifying!"
Most of the people present had never seen this petty official with a feminine temperament, and in front of so many old ministers and important ministers, this feminine petty official had no stage fright, not only did he not have the slightest weakness, but his eyebrows revealed a madness.
However, what the other party said made everyone stunned, and no one thought that King Qi would be so gentle this time.
"If there's anything else to say, let's say it together!"
Wang Chong's face was calm, unmoved.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
The petty official with a feminine temperament suddenly laughed strangely, lowered his body, and said in a strange manner:
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from my lord, His Royal Highness King Qi does have a word to bring to me. His Royal Highness said that people are not good for a thousand days, and flowers are not red for a hundred days, how high can they climb...... , the fall will be heavy!"
Speaking of the last sentence, the little official with a feminine temperament slowly raised his head, looked at Wang Chong, and showed a treacherous smile.
"Bold!"
Hearing this, the surrounding people changed color.
Wang Chong fought in the West and made great contributions, and this return to Beijing is a real attention, even if people who usually have an opinion of Wang Chong, such as Yan Wenzhang, will be a little more restrained. But this petty official actually relied on the power of King Qi to act as a prestige in front of Wang Chong, and the fox was pretending to be a tiger.
"Hey!"
The petty official with a feminine temperament listened to the scolding in his ears, not only did not restrain himself in the slightest, but laughed.
This time, the king rushed back to Beijing, and in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, he was ordered by the king of Qi to say these words, and this is what he wanted. No matter how prominent Wang Chong is now, one day he will eventually fall, in short, he will never let Wang Chong and the Wang family have a good time. There was a dead silence all around, and a civil and military official had a worried look on his face.
One is the royal prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is the newly crowned foreign king of the Tang Dynasty, especially considering that Wang Chong has just been deprived of military power and transferred back to the interior, he came back with a sense of anger. Everyone was secretly worried that Wang Chong would probably not be able to bear it and a conflict would break out with King Qi on the spot.
"Then thank King Qi for me!"
Just when the atmosphere was tense, like a volcanic eruption, Wang Chong's indifferent voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, the voice was neither high nor low, plain and bland, without the slightest ups and downs and waves. Hearing these bland words, all the people around were stunned, even the petty official with a feminine temperament looked stunned, as if he didn't expect Wang Chong to be so calm.
The next moment, however, he immediately knew that he had thought wrong.
"In addition, if the same is true, bring it to His Royal Highness King Qi for me by the way!"
"Buzz!"
The petty official, who was originally triumphant, suddenly changed color, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly. He didn't expect that Wang Chong would actually attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son, and return the words he had just said back in the same way, but he still couldn't do it.
Because that's what he said.
"Humph!"
was blocked by Wang Chong like this, the little official with a feminine temperament snorted coldly, couldn't stay any longer, snorted coldly, and immediately brushed his sleeves away.
"Ruzi...... It's teachable!"
Not far away, Duan Cao, Deng Chang, and Lu Lian, the three old imperial historians, had been sitting on the wall and watching, neither helping Wang Chong to answer, nor intervening to stop the little official, and seeing Wang Chong's methods at this time, he couldn't help but nod slightly.
With Wang Chong's return this time, an invisible huge storm is brewing. I don't know how many forces in the capital have moved, just at this small city gate, the three sects and nine streams, and the big families, I don't know how many people have come. Some of these people came to congratulate sincerely, and there were also people like King Qi who harbored evil intentions and even deliberately made trouble in the name of greeting.
And all of this is just the tip of the storm.
If Wang Chong can't solve this crisis against him well, he will be even more unable to deal with the next, at this moment, inside and outside the court.
The three of them have been watching from the sidelines, just to see how Wang Chong will deal with it, whether he is reckless with the courage of blood and blood and desperate to fight, or whether he has the wisdom and courage to deal with it in a more ingenious way. The three of them worried for a long time, but now, the hanging heart finally slowly let go.
"Courage, perseverance, and wisdom! This kid is more forbearant than we imagined!"
"Datang finally appeared such a spark, no matter what, it can't be destroyed like this!"
"When manpower is always exhausted, this kid can behave like this, and it is not in vain that we do our best to protect him!"
......
In the crowd of people, the three old imperial historians looked at Wang Chong's back, and they all nodded with satisfaction, at this moment, they were finally relieved. And ahead, the departure of the people sent by King Qi was just a small episode, and immediately after, more people poured over.
