Chapter 1312 Dark Hour (2)

Chapter 1312

"grown ups……"

Xu Keyi hesitated at the side, but he could say something.

"to be honest!"

Wang Chong's brows were extremely sullen.

"My lord, the situation is indeed not good. Zhu Zi's influence on us is much greater than imagined. Many places are protesting and criticizing us. In addition, people with good intentions are fueling the flames and deliberately guiding them. The current situation is extremely grim. !"

Su Shixuan said, his voice was extremely low.

"continue!"

Wang Chong said with a gloomy expression.

Because of the imperial court's order, he had to be confined in the mansion for two months. All the news could only be obtained from Su Shixuan, Xu Keyi and the others, but Wang Chong never expected that they would dare to hide such a big matter from him.

Seeing Wang Chong's anger, everyone fell silent. They have followed Wang Chong for so long, and they have never seen Wang Chong get angry with his subordinates. Obviously, this incident really angered him.

"My lord, the booksellers in the capital have completely banned us. No one dares to easily offend Confucianism. Although we have set up a new bookstore and printed it ourselves, none of the printed books have been sold."

"continue!"

Wang Chong continued with a livid face.

"Now the voice in the capital is very unfavorable to adults. During this time, at least a dozen groups of people have marched near our mansion, and we have all discovered and dispersed them in advance. This time, I don't know if it was the negligence of the city guards, or Something went wrong that made these people break through to our vicinity and disturbed the adults!"

Su Shixuan hesitated for a moment and secretly looked up at Wang Chong, and continued:

"In addition, we just received news that the Uzbek Empire and the Western Turkic Khanate, in order to cooperate with the Confucianism, announced that they would cut 50,000 more troops on the original basis and further shrink the defense line to show peaceful coexistence with the Tang Dynasty. Sincerity. This incident has already spread in the city, and the court has also received private letters from His Majesty Uzang and Dalun Qinling, pointing out that Uszang has no intention of being an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and everything is hindered by adults , deliberately plunged both countries into war!"

Su Shixuan said.

"In addition, I don't know where the news came, saying that the adults want to start a war, and they are colluding with the Ministry of War. They want to take advantage of this big eclipse to recruit soldiers again, and they are going to take the initiative to fight against Uzbek, Eastern and Western Turks, Goguryeo and Mengshezhao fight!"

Aside, Xu Keyi added.

"What?"

Hearing this sentence, Wang Chong opened his eyes suddenly. During this period of time, he closed his doors and thought about his past. He had never had any contact with Zhangchou Jianqiong. Wang Chong never thought that such rumors would spread.

"My lord, my lord has done his best on this matter, we just want to..."

"enough!"

Before Su Shixuan and the others finished speaking, Wang Chong interrupted sharply.

Wang Chong's eyes were tightly closed, and he stood there for a long time without saying a word, but in a short period of time, Wang Chong never expected that the situation in the capital would deteriorate to such an extent.

"Open the door!"

Wang Chong quickly opened his eyes and ordered.

"grown ups!"

"My lord, no!"

Hearing Wang Chong's words, everyone was anxious and wanted to stop it.

During this period of time, everyone has at least stopped more than a dozen people who came to the palace to demonstrate. Everyone deeply knows how fierce the people are now, and it is absolutely inappropriate for Wang Chong to go out at this time.

"Open the door!"

Wang Chong repeated again. His expression was cold, and there was no room for negotiation at all.

Outside the mansion, there were waves of guards being pushed and shoved. Facing the angry crowd, these guards alone could not resist. Moreover, Wang Chong also wanted to see with his own eyes, how far it had deteriorated. He had "avoided" for more than ten days, and it was absolutely impossible to continue to avoid it.

"boom!"

After hearing a sound, the gate of Wang's mansion was completely opened from the inside to the outside. Wang Chong was dressed in casual clothes, stepped over the threshold, and walked out from inside.

Although when I was in the study, I heard waves of sound sweeping over,

But only when he opened the door and walked out, did he know how far outside the Wang's mansion had reached. As if entering another world from one world, boundless waves of sound swept from all directions. Wang Chong looked around and saw the crowd outside the gate so densely packed that he couldn't see the end at a glance.

"Down with the alien king!"

"against war!"

Shouts came and went, resounding through the sky. There were men and women, old and young, who gathered outside the Wang's mansion to demonstrate. Everyone was blushing and looked extremely excited.

At the gate, there were more than 20 well-armed royal guards trying their best to stop the crowd, but in the face of these angry ordinary people who didn't know martial arts, these guards didn't dare to be violent at all. Although each one was strong, they were all passively beaten. Stones rained down on these royal guards from all directions, and many parade people surrounded them and kicked them vigorously.

These guards were all armed with force, and they were all beaten up with bruised noses and swollen faces. They only used their hands to protect their vitals, and neither made a sound nor retreated.

"stop!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Chong finally couldn't help shouting.

"It's the king of foreign lands!"

The angry shout finally woke up the angry crowd, and countless eyes quickly noticed Wang Chong who came out of the gate. In an instant, all the sounds disappeared instantly. In front of the gate of Wang Chong's mansion, there was complete silence and darkness, and no one spoke.

"You all retreat!"

Wang Chong looked at the guards of the Wang family who were being beaten instead of him. This accident has nothing to do with them at all, these guards just suffered for themselves, if not for themselves, they would not have fallen into the situation of being besieged at all.

"But my lord..."

The leading guard wanted to say something more, but Wang Chong just waved his hand and interrupted him.

"Go, leave it to me here."

Wang Chong said in a deep voice. More than ten Wang family guards hesitated for a while, and finally dragged their injured bodies, crossed the threshold and disappeared into the Wang family mansion.

"Foreign Land King, you are finally willing to come out!"

"You wolf-minded bastard, it's in vain that we trust you so much!"

"You haven't shown up for so long, do you have a guilty conscience! Everyone really misjudged you!"

...

Soon, another angry voice came from the crowd, and a pair of hands stared at Wang Chong hatefully. If eyes could kill, Wang Chong would have died countless times.

Looking at these hateful gazes, Wang Chong felt a sudden pain in his heart. As a human being for two lifetimes, Wang Chong has been running around all the time, in order to save China, China, and the ordinary men, women, children, and children in front of him. He may not care about high-ranking officials and high salaries, he may not care about the imperial court depriving him of power, he may not care about the entire Confucianism, thousands of great Confucians, old Confucians, and lesser Confucians scolding and accusing him, but he cannot care about these ordinary men, women, old and young in front of him. .

"Everyone, please listen to me!"

Wang Chong's voice was so loud that it echoed across the entire mansion like thunder. Hearing Wang Chong's words, the crowd became quiet again and looked at him one after another:

"Foreign Land King, you secretly collude with the Ministry of War and want to take the initiative to launch a war with various regions, is that right or not?"

"You privately raised soldiers and horses, and disobeyed the holy order, in order to start a war and satisfy your selfish desires, right or wrong!"

"What power is the truth? The various regions have already voluntarily disarmed, haven't you seen it? It's in vain that we trust you so much. It turns out that you are just asking for credit for satisfying your own selfish desires!"

"Foreign Land King, what else do you have to say!"

...

In the crowd, a member of the public yelled sharply.

"Everyone listen to me! I have never discussed with the Ministry of War to recruit soldiers and launch wars against various deserts. These are simply rumors. It is true that I recruited troops privately, disobeyed the holy order, and opened the armory privately, but all Everything is to protect Anxi, protect Qixi, protect Longxi and the capital. Commands of foreign troops are not accepted, and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. If everything is waited for by the imperial court, it will take a long time to go back and forth, not only Anxi If the guards are going to be buried in foreign lands, even the royal arsenals in Anxi, Qixi and Qixi will all fall into the enemy's hands. I just did what I should do, rather than letting those weapons fall into the enemy's hands and be used by the big cannibal Open it in advance and use it to defend Middle Earth."

Wang Chong's eyes were red, and the hair on his temples danced violently.

The Qixi armory is a military matter. Wang Chong marched and fought, and never explained it to anyone. Even Xue Qianjun and others did not explain the Qixi matter to them. But this time, facing these ordinary people who knew nothing about the art of war, Wang Chong explained it for the first time.

"Wang Chong swears to the sky that there is no selfishness in everything he does and everything. If he violates this word, the world will be punished!"

Looking at the unfamiliar faces in front of him, Wang Chong said in a deep voice.

As soon as Wang Chong's voice fell, the dark crowd in front of the gate of the Wang family suddenly became incomparably silent.

"Wang Chong, you have always said that every wilderness harbors ambitions, but Uzang cut off 150,000 troops for the first time, and another 50,000 for the second time. After the first 200,000 cuts for the Western Turkic Empire, it cut another 50,000. What explanation do you want to explain? Now the government and the opposition are saying that your military generals deliberately wrote the book Might Is Truth to confuse the people in order to have wars to fight and to gain credit for, is that true or not?"

In the crowd, a man shouted angrily, his face was flushed, and his expression was full of cheated anger.

Hearing these words, Wang Chong felt as if someone had stabbed him with a sword. After several months of painstaking efforts, he finally got such a sentence. In the end, people's hearts were still deceived again. Looking at the serious Tang people, Wang Chong felt heartbroken.

"Everyone, the monkey will play dead to lure the crow to take the bait, and finally eat the crow; the pangolin will pretend to be dead to lure the ant, and finally eat the ant; when the rabbit cannot escape, it will fall to the ground, lure the eagle, and finally kick the eagle to death! Temporary retreat , just for the final victory. Uzang, Eastern and Western Turks, and Goguryeo are the confidants of the Tang Dynasty. For nearly a thousand years, the surrounding barbarians have been in constant conflict with the Tang Dynasty."
