Chapter 1250 Personal Communication!

Chapter 1250

In the Tang Dynasty, no matter whether it was literary or military, as long as they were of the older generation, as long as they had been in the court for more than ten or twenty years, there was no one who didn't know or understand Zhang Shougui. The name of Jiu Gong is famous all over the world, and he is recognized by the whole world as a virtuous prime minister. Zhang Shougui contradicts and insults him all the same.

And the war god Wang Zhongsi of the Tang Dynasty, if he hadn't resigned his military power voluntarily, retreated bravely, wisely protected himself, retreated to the palace, and became the crown prince Shaobao, Zhang Shougui would have been at odds with him long ago. As Li Linfu was a member of the royal family and the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, it was his position that Zhang Shougui coveted.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, except for the Holy Emperor, Zhang Shougui almost had no scruples. Among the top figures, Zhang Shougui almost never did not conflict.

This impression has long been deeply ingrained among civil servants.

"...Moreover, Zhang Shougui's deceitful evidence is conclusive! Haicheng, show us the evidence!"

As the old official said, he took two steps forward and said to Ye Haicheng, the inspector censor in front of the train.

"Shua!"

Ye Haicheng spoke righteously, without saying much, with a flick of his wrist, two pieces of letter paper fluttered in the air, and immediately appeared in front of everyone:

"This letter was personally written by one of Zhang Shougui's subordinates. He is a senior general who has followed him for more than ten years. He is also Zhang Shougui's former subordinate. He has always been loyal to him. He originally wanted to conceal this incident. After all, Zhang Shougui is his But after several nights of torment, for the sake of those who are dying, he still decided to tell the story. Monarch, minister, minister, father and son, Zhang Shougui is really a vain minister, please be aware of it!"

"Buzz!"

Seeing the letter paper in Ye Haicheng's hand, there was a sudden dead silence in the hall, all the generals turned pale, and even King Song changed color slightly. Confucians are not people in martial arts, so it is impossible to make fun of this kind of thing. Obviously, they all have conclusive evidence.

Zhang Shougui is the second most powerful person in the military. To some extent, his influence in the military is even more profound than Wang Chong's, and his qualifications are not comparable to Wang Chong's. The military strategists have been retreating steadily in the siege of the Confucianists, and the situation is extremely bad. If someone like Zhang Shougui is taken down, no one can imagine what the consequences will be.

"Your Majesty! Not only that, but Zhang Shougui dared to bribe angels. Niu Xiantong, an eunuch, actually had nearly ten million taels of gold coupons on him. May I ask where did he get the money! And not long ago, Niu Xiantong once handed over the coupons to the elder Prince, the content of the excerpt is to confuse black and white, bragging for Zhang Shougui, calling Huangshui's defeat a great victory, and praying for a reward from the court. Because the situation is serious, the eldest prince has asked us veterans for advice, and the eldest prince can come forward in person on this matter testify,

Please Your Majesty must punish severely no matter what! "

Another civil servant came out of the train, but what he said made things worse. It became more and more unfavorable to Zhang Shougui.

There was a dead silence in the hall, and even the general who wanted to defend Zhang Shougui was trembling and speechless at this moment. Confucianism came prepared this time, and the two letters of exposure from Zhang Shougui's subordinates were already extremely unfavorable. What's more, with the assistance of gold yuan coupons, the eldest prince personally testified!

The eldest prince is the eldest son of His Majesty, once anything involves the eldest prince, it must be a matter of certainty. No matter how hard it is for everyone to accept it, I am afraid that they all have to admit the fact:

The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong. Anton, who is good at war, protects Zhang Shougui and the Youzhou army. He actually lost to Xi and Khitan in Huangshui.

"How could this be? Could it be that even Zhang Shougui can't be saved? In this way, who will dare to contend with Confucianism in the future? We are all in the same line of martial arts, and everyone in the art of war will always be restrained by Confucianism. Waste of martial arts. Once the barbarians invade, who else can contend with them?"

His Highness, a gray-haired military veteran, felt heavy in his heart. He had never encountered such a difficult and dangerous situation in the decades of government affairs in the imperial court. As soon as he entered the hall, the veteran turned his head almost subconsciously, and looked expectantly at the end of the train at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, approaching the gate, the young and tall figure.

The entire military line is in jeopardy. Although we know that this kind of thinking is unrealistic, if there is anyone who can turn the tide and change everything, I am afraid that it is only the King of Foreign Lands.

"Buzz!"

At this time, a strange feeling came to my heart, the veteran military official turned his head, and was shocked to find that the entire court, almost all the generals, looked at the hall at the end of the hall just like himself. A young figure.

"well!"

Wang Chong let out a long sigh in his heart. He could clearly feel the atmosphere. Zhang Shougui's incident caught everyone by surprise. An invincible military official, with elite soldiers and strong generals under him, would be defeated so disastrously. For many people, this is probably something that death is unimaginable.

"Master Zhang! You are such a hero, you were confused for a while!"

Wang Chong shook his head inwardly. In terms of combat command ability alone, Zhang Shougui was absolutely beyond doubt. Back then, the Youzhou generation in the Northeast was in turmoil and chaos. Zhang Shougui was guarding Longxi at that time and was sent to Youzhou to fight the fire. And Zhang Shougui lived up to everyone's expectations. He successfully established the Andong Protectorate Army there, and suppressed the four major confidantes of Xi, Khitan, Western Turkic Khanate, and Goguryeo Empire that had ravaged the frontier.

Even the lord of Goguryeo, Yuan Gai Suwen, an incomparable figure, changed from a tiger to a cat in front of him. The whole thing is only able to parry, but not to fight back. For more than ten years, he couldn't sleep, lest Zhang Shougui lead the Youzhou army into the lair.

This is the real hero of Datang. Even if I heard some of his deeds back then, I would sincerely admire him.

In the battle of Huangshui, Zhang Shougui himself might have been kept in the dark, but Wang Chong knew what was going on. The strength of the Youzhou army is famous all over the world. If it wasn't for internal cooperation and deliberate calculations, it would never have been defeated by Xi and Khitan.

Kangzhamu Mountain, a figure appeared in Wang Chong's mind in the blink of an eye.

Not surprisingly, the greatest threat to the Tang Dynasty had already begun to take action to crowd out Zhang Shougui. But Zhang Shougui never noticed it. I gave him a warning, but it's a pity that he is too conceited, so conceited that he can't hear any advice, so conceited that he thinks that he can control both the Hu people and the Han people at the same time, and control everything.

He didn't believe in his bones that the "Hawkeye" he personally raised would have the courage to turn his head and attack him.

"This is the last time I can help you! Let's repay your favor!"

Thoughts flashed through Wang Chong's mind, and he quickly turned his head and looked in another direction. There, a general was fidgeting, as if he had been waiting for something, and when he saw Wang Chong's gaze, he suddenly settled down.

"let's start!"

Wang Chong gave him a wink.

"Your Majesty! I have something to announce!"

Just when the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, a loud voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and in the eyes of countless people, the general walked out with a wat board in his hand.

"Your Majesty has a letter from Youzhou, which is from Anton Dadu to protect Zhang Shougui. I hope to present it to His Majesty."

"Wow!"

These words came out of nowhere, and there was an uproar in the entire hall. All civil servants, including Ye Haicheng, glanced at each other, and suddenly their expressions became extremely dignified.

"What's going on here? How could there be a private letter from Zhang Shougui to the Holy Emperor?"

Ye Haicheng's heart went up and down one after another. This matter was originally a sure thing, but now, the direction of the matter was completely beyond expectations, and he didn't know what to do all of a sudden.

"Bring it up!"

At this moment, the majestic and resonant voice of the Holy Emperor suddenly came from the hall, revealing an awe-inspiring power in the voice, and the entire court was silent in an instant. The general held a letter in both hands, bowed his head, and walked up respectfully.

When he reached the steps, Gao Lishi quickly stepped forward, took the letter paper, and handed it to the Holy Emperor.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely delicate. Everyone's eyes were focused on the letter in the hands of the Holy Emperor, secretly guessing the contents of Zhang Shougui's private letter.

Time passed slowly, and in the main hall, the Holy Emperor looked majestic, without any expression on his face, but for some veterans who were familiar with the Holy Emperor, the originally tense brows of the Holy Emperor were obviously relieved after reading Zhang Shougui's letter. a lot.

"Your Majesty! Zhang Shougui was obsessed with the battle of Huangshui. He thought of bribing the angel because he was afraid that the holy emperor would blame him and affect his career as the prime minister. Your Majesty must punish you severely! However, there is a reason why Zhang Shougui did this. Everyone knows that Zhang Shougui is obsessed with the position of prime minister. Ten years ago, if not for an accident, Zhang Shougui might have become the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. The whole world knows about it.”

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Zhang Shougui, as the protector of Anton, has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, although Zhang Shougui was confused, he was grateful for His Majesty's favor to him in the end. He reined in the precipice, realized his lost way, and took the initiative to confess to His Majesty. The flaws do not conceal the merits, I hope His Majesty will see clearly!"

The generals who came out bowed their heads and said respectfully.

In the main hall, the faces of the civil servants headed by Ye Haicheng turned extremely ugly. The military commander's words, including killing Zhang Shougui, reduced Zhang Shougui's guilt to the extreme. If the Holy Emperor listened to his words, then this time's action against Zhang Shougui would have failed completely.

But this was not the thing that made everyone's faces look ugly the most. Zhang Shougui's letterhead could arrive at the court at this time, which meant that he had written this letter a long time ago, with the intention of repenting. Moreover, between the lines, Zhang Shougui did not deny his fault at all, but made a frank confession, asking His Majesty to punish him. In this way, even if everyone tried their best, it would be impossible to dig out new loopholes in him.
