Chapter 1251 Zhang Shougui's Gratitude!

Chapter 1251

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is indeed confused, but fortunately it is not too late, and he also repented in the end. This letter is the evidence. I hope His Majesty can look at this and re-issue it."

Wang Chong flicked his robe and came out at this time.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not! Just a private letter can't explain anything, and it is an indisputable fact that Zhang Shougui bought angels, bribed the supervising army, and lied about the military situation. If he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and was safe, then follow suit in the future." Don’t those who go forward and succeed? There is no rule without rules, the state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. I hope that His Majesty can deal with it strictly according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty!"

"That's right! I hope His Majesty will uphold the laws of the Tang Dynasty and deal with it strictly!"

"Your Majesty, please punish Zhang Shougui severely!"

...

After finally catching Zhang Shougui's flaw, the Confucian civil servants in the court would not easily let him go. Ye Haicheng immediately stepped forward to make a statement, and other civil servants also echoed, asking the Holy Emperor to be severely punished.

Wang Chong watched this scene from the sidelines, only sneered in his heart. These Confucian civil servants are just dying. The catastrophe of the Tang Dynasty is coming. Zhang Shougui is one of the top generals of the Tang Dynasty. Wang Chong will protect him no matter what. Easy going.

Sure enough, as soon as the voices of the civil servants fell, a voice was heard in the hall. But this time, it wasn't Wang Chong, nor King Song, or anyone else who spoke, but the Holy Emperor sitting motionless in the hall.

"I already know about this matter. Although Zhang Shougui lied about the military situation, his feelings are hard to tolerate, but he has not yet reached the point of deceiving the emperor."

In the main hall, the Holy Emperor's expression was extremely majestic, but the first sentence he uttered made everyone's hearts chill.

"I didn't receive the memorial that Niu Xiantong concealed the military situation, but he told the truth about the battle of Huangshui, and he didn't even hide the fact that he accepted bribes. He has already donated the gold coupons he received from Zhang Shougui. , I have given it to the Ministry of Households as the money and food for the Ministry of War. As for Zhang Shougui, although he repented in time and did not make a big mistake, he had such thoughts after all, so he should not be forgiven lightly!"

What the Holy Emperor said made Ye Haicheng and the others feel cold. At this time, the heavier the Holy Emperor said, the lighter it was in the end. But the Holy Emperor has already spoken, no matter how unwilling everyone is, it is impossible to say anything more.

"However, Zhang Shougui is a hero of the Tang Dynasty after all, and has made great contributions. Therefore, I decided to make Zhang Shougui's old achievements a crime and deprive Zhang Shougui of his position as the Governor of Anton.

Instead, he will temporarily act as the chief protector of Anton, and he will be fined for another five years, and he will not be promoted within five years! "

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Hearing the Holy Emperor's decision, everyone bowed and saluted.

The Holy Emperor never expresses his opinion easily, but once any incident reaches the Holy Emperor's link, no matter what the final result is, everyone must abide by it. Because this is the final decision.

"Wang Chong, I knew that you would never let everyone down!"

The matter of Zhang Shougui finally came to an end. In the main hall, King Song turned his head and looked in the direction of Wang Chong, with a strange look in his eyes. From Khorasan's return to now, Wang Chong has resolved at least two crises. From this point of view, Wang Chong has become the pinnacle of peace on the military side of the court. As long as he is there, no storm can cross over and hit all sides of Datang.

Moreover, the strategy adopted by Wang Chong even impressed King Song.

In the past dynasties, the crime of deceiving the emperor was not a small matter. No matter whether Zhang Shougui did it or not, it would be treasonous to have this idea, not to mention that he actually bribed Niu Xiantong. Based on this alone, the Holy Emperor couldn't spare him. But Wang Chong's cleverness was in catching Zhang Shougui's obsession with the position of Prime Minister and forming an obsession.

In fact, more than ten years ago, if Wang Chong's grandfather Jiugong hadn't stopped him, Zhang Shougui would have become the prime minister now. And to blame, if the Holy Emperor had been more determined back then, Zhang Shougui would have become the prime minister, and this kind of thing would not have happened now. From this point of view, the Holy Emperor felt guilty. This is also the key to Zhang Shougui's survival in this crisis.

From the Battle of the Southwest to the Battle of Talas, in just over a year, Wang Chong has become very mature, and he can completely take charge of himself, not only on the battlefield, but also in the court.

The army is indestructible, and now Wang Chong has become the greatest hope and pillar of the entire military!

The court meeting ended soon. Wang Chong flicked his sleeves and walked out of the hall with a smile on his lips.

"Master Zhang, those who know the current affairs are heroes. After this incident, you should be alert!"

Wang Chong raised his head, glanced at the northeast direction, and thought to himself.

Zhang Shougui's pride and conceit are well known throughout the world. When Niu Xiantong was asked to write him a letter to persuade him to admit his mistake, Wang Chong received his letter almost immediately and was scolded by him. Zhang Shougui's bad temper can be imagined. But even so, Wang Chong was sure from the very beginning that this matter would be resolved satisfactorily.

the reason is simple--

Although Zhang Shougui was conceited, he was not stupid. Bullying the emperor is not a trivial matter, Zhang Shougui couldn't resist such a big incident when it broke out.

"I hope you can survive and grow wiser!"

Wang Chong smiled and left quickly.

However, right behind him, even Wang Chong didn't notice, a gaze was looking at him with hatred all the time, with an extremely ugly look on his face. What happened this time was actually not the Confucian people, but Li Linfu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. It was precisely his position that Zhang Shougui could not forget.

For Wang Chong to help Zhang Shougui save the day, it is undoubtedly tantamount to going against him. Li Linfu's feelings can be imagined.

"Master Prime Minister, let's go!"

A voice suddenly came from the side, and a courtier walked over at some point.

"Hehe, Master Zhang, please!"

Li Linfu smiled slightly, like a spring breeze, and the hatred in his eyes quickly dissipated invisible.

...

The imperial city of the Tang Dynasty is majestic, majestic, majestic and majestic.

When Wang Chong walked out of the palace in a red uniform, the atmosphere here was completely different from that in the court hall.

"grown ups!"

Outside the imperial city, a gorgeous gold and silver carriage stood. Beside the carriage, a figure quickly got up and went towards Wang Chong. It was not the Zhang Que that Wang Chong always brought with him, but the Eagle whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He was wrapped in a black robe. Ever since Wang Chong left him in the capital residence and was responsible for forming an intelligence team, Eagle's temperament had become sharper and more refined, just like a long knife. Get rid of the lead, revealing the original face, showing the sharpness.

"how's it going?"

Seeing the eagle, Wang Chong's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked immediately.

Just separated by a wall, the atmosphere inside and outside the palace is immediately completely different. For Wang Chong, from the moment he walked out of the palace gate, the affairs in the court had ended, and the "war" outside the court had just begun.

"Is everything ready?"

Wang Chong glanced at the eagle and said in a deep voice. His expression was dignified, completely different from the previous appearance in the court.

From Khorasan to the capital, he has always wanted to find out who was behind the scenes, but now, everything is finally coming to light. That person was finally about to reveal his true form before his eyes.

"Go back to your lord, everything has been arranged according to your lord's instructions! There are at most a few days before we can really see 'him'!"

The eagle said in a deep voice. In his heart, he was no less urgent than Wang Chong.

In the hearts of Eagle, Zhang Que, and everyone else, Wang Chong's status far surpassed everything else, even far surpassing themselves. No matter who dared to treat Wang Chong and Datang like this, he would definitely not be able to forgive him lightly.

"very good!"

Wang Chong flicked his sleeves and walked forward quickly:

"Then let's wait a few more days!"

As soon as the voice fell, Wang Chong quickly boarded the carriage and disappeared into the carriage.

"drive!"

The eagle also sat on the driver's seat, raised the long whip in his hand, and with a crackling sound of the whip, the carriage quickly headed towards the east of the city.

"Clatter!"

When Wang Chong's carriage left the gate of the imperial city and headed towards the east of the city, a small but extremely fast hawk sparrow suddenly shot out and headed northeast in a hurry.

"My lord, look!"

A few days later, in Youzhou in the northwest, a general of the Anton Protectorate Army hurried into the Protector's Mansion, and handed over the letter in his hand with a solemn expression. Zhang Shougui took it and only glanced at it, his face immediately paled a lot.

There was even cold sweat oozing out!

Having served in the army for decades, Zhang Shougui participated in hundreds of battles and faced countless dangers of life and death, but none of them was more dangerous than what was recorded on this thin piece of paper. For a moment, although nothing happened around, Zhang Shougui felt like he was on the verge of death, that he had escaped a catastrophe before the gate of hell.

If he hadn't followed Wang Chong's suggestion, the civil servants would have impeached him in court, and his decades of hard work might have been wiped out.

"how could this be!"

Zhang Shougui muttered to himself, somehow thinking of that young man in the capital.

——This time, Wang Chong really saved his life.

"A thorough investigation! Give me a thorough investigation! I want to know who leaked the matter between me and Niu Xiantong!"

Zhang Shougui crumpled the letter paper in his hand, furious.

What happened in the capital certainly shocked him, but what shocked him the most was that someone dared to betray him in the border of Youzhou, and it was a general who was close to him!

"Yes, my lord."

The general left quickly, and following Zhang Shougui's order, the entire land of Youzhou shook like never before.

...

"asshole!"

At the same time, on a high mountain more than ten miles away from the Anton Protectorate's Mansion, several figures stood tall, the head of the man was slightly fat, with five fingers retracted, the veins on the back of the hand were bulging, and the palms made crackling sounds .
