Chapter 1616: A Shocking Change Unprecedented in History!

? Chapter 1616 [addition]

"You have to find someone to ask, and you must know the inside story."

Wang Chong opened his eyes and said inwardly.

However, despite the limited information, Wang Chong did not sit still, but while in the carriage, Wang Chong also thought about something, and after a while, several pigeons quickly flew out.

And when he was driving all the way to the palace, in some shadows on the side of the street, several figures kept staring at Wang Chong's carriage, and flew away quickly.

"Rolls!"

Suddenly, the carriage paused and stopped quickly. At the same time, the coachman's voice came from outside:

"My lord, the palace is here!"

Wang Chong flicked his robe, opened the curtain, and got off the carriage. Looking up, I saw the Tang Palace in front of me, magnificent and magnificent, just like in the past. But when Wang Chong looked up, he felt an indescribably strange feeling.

"All the guards at the city gates have been replaced."

Wang Chong thought to himself, a deep haze flashed in his eyes.

Wang Chong had also been inside the Datang Imperial Palace several times, and he was very familiar with the forbidden army here, and it was here that the incident of the picket team happened not long ago. When they came to the palace gate, they found that even those people had been replaced.

All the gates of the palace were replaced with a group of young faces, and even the armor on their bodies was different.

Not only that, the aura in their bodies is also somewhat different from that of the Forbidden Army. It is not so calm and heavy, and it is obviously newly promoted.

"Who is in front?"

While meditating, suddenly, a voice came from the front. Wang Chong looked up and saw a group of "Forbidden Army Guards" separated at the gate of the palace, and one of the golden-armored Forbidden Army commanders guarding the palace gate came up from behind and blocked him in front.

"Bold, you dare to stop the foreign king from entering the palace?"

Before Wang Chong could speak, the coachman couldn't help but speak.

"Hmph, something is going on in the palace today, within seven days,

All foreign ministers are strictly prohibited from entering, except for the court meeting. King of foreign lands, please go back! "

The commander of the forbidden army looked stern, his feet were separated, and he immediately thrust his spear across the ground, looking stern and selfless.

Wang Chong frowned, and a dark cloud suddenly passed between his brows.

With his status as the king of a foreign land, even the dignitaries in the palace would not dare to offend him easily. If he hadn't been instigated by others, how could he, a small leader of the forbidden army, dare to be so arrogant and domineering.

And what happened to the theory of seven days?

"May I have your name?"

Wang Chong suddenly said:

"Judging from your accent, you should be from Hebei, right? There are strict standards for the selection of the forbidden army. The south gate of the imperial palace is the passageway for courtiers to enter. The leader of the forbidden army guarding the gate must at least reach the fourth level of the Imperial Martial Arts. Look at your floating energy, Xuan Yuan, Lingqiao, Xuefu, and the three orifices are full and dissatisfied. They should have just reached the third level of the Imperial Martial Arts, and it will not exceed four days. There is still a distance from the fourth level of the Imperial Martial Arts. Who chose you?"

When it came to the end, Wang Chong's eyes were sharp and piercing to the heart. Just a few words, the leader of the forbidden army immediately turned pale, his expression changed drastically, and his expression was flustered. It was not at all calm and calm at the beginning.

He didn't expect Wang Chong's gaze to be so vicious. Not only could he see that he had only broken through to the third level of the Imperial Martial Arts for a few days, but he also knew the rules for the selection of imperial guards in the palace.

The laws of the Tang Dynasty have always been strict. Even Emperor Taizong set an example and did not dare to violate them. Since it is an iron law, it is natural not to violate it easily. From this point alone, it is not a trivial matter that his status as the leader of the Forbidden Army is not worthy of his name!

More importantly, he also knew that his position as the leader of the imperial army was not so righteous at all.

If Wang Chong wants to track him down, he will probably die at that time!

Thinking of this, the leader of the Forbidden Army was sweating coldly in his back, his heart felt cold, and there was no trace of arrogance.

"Presumptuous! You are a small leader of the imperial guards. You have several heads. You dare to stop the carriage of the king of foreign lands. I don't know that the king of foreign lands is an important minister admired by the holy emperor. Is he a disciple of the emperor of Tang Dynasty?"

It was too late to say it, but it was so fast, at this moment, a loud shout came from the palace behind. Before the voice fell, a middle-aged man wearing a black headdress and a white silk Confucian robe, with a serious expression, was striding forward from behind.

"Master Yang!"

The commander of the forbidden army hadn't spoken yet, but the surrounding guards guarding the gate of the palace all looked terrified and lowered their heads one after another.

Looking at the capital, the only one who can make these forbidden soldiers so awed, likes to dress up in such an arty way, is Yang Zhao, the Taifu Minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Zhao doesn't read much, and he has a lot of gambling by nature. I don't know why after becoming an official, he likes to be arty and consider himself a civil servant. Not to mention, Yang Zhao is still a relative of the emperor, and he is backed by the concubine Taizhen who is the most favored by the Holy Emperor today.

But even if this weight is deducted, just his status as Tai Fuqing personally appointed by the Holy Emperor is enough to make people fear three points.

Although Yang Zhao is ignorant, but in terms of numbers, he has a talent that is difficult for ordinary people. A position of Tai Fuqing was in his hands, and he actually organized the internal affairs and taxation of Datang in an orderly manner. Chong even heard that because of some of his measures, Datang's treasury was more than 20% full than before.

For a huge empire like Datang, 20% is already a very impressive figure.

Not only that, Yang Zhao, the Tai Fuqing, is also in charge of the entire concubines, maids and eunuchs, and the salary expenditure of the imperial army. Although Yang Zhao is not in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, all the chief executives of the House of Internal Affairs have a fierce fight with Yang Zhao , one by one follow his lead.

——Yang Zhao's method, even Wang Chong has to admire a little bit.

The salaries of the entire concubines, maids and eunuchs, as well as the Imperial Army must be circulated out of the hands of Yang Zhao, the Tai Fuqing. It is no wonder that Yang Zhao can be so mixed up, the Imperial Army is up and down, and even these new Imperial Army have to pay for it. Three points of respect to him.

When Wang Chong saw Yang Zhao from behind, his eyelids also twitched. In Wang Chong's impression, after Yang Zhao became an official, he held a folding fan in his hand and often had a playful and cynical face, but today's Yang Zhao looked serious and serious, completely different from his usual appearance.

At that moment, Wang Chong's heart moved, as if he felt something.

"Didn't you say that if something happens in the palace within seven days, all foreign officials are strictly forbidden to enter? The foreign king is our Concubine Taizhen's guest, so even he can't enter?"

Yang Zhao's expression was cold, and he didn't say much. He turned his palm over and took a palm-sized golden token with a five-clawed golden dragon pattern on it.

All dynasties have attached great importance to rituals. Each class, each identity, has its own form and rules, which cannot be surpassed. Looking around the world, even someone as arrogant and domineering as King Qi only dared to use three claws. Although the First Prince was hailed as the first heir to the throne, he only dared to use four claws. Also do not ask self-knowledge.

"Don't tell me, you don't even recognize this thing, do you?"

Yang Zhao didn't have a good look at the leader of the imperial guards who stopped Wang Chong. He and Wang Chong are sworn brothers, whoever makes things difficult for Wang Chong will make things difficult for Yang Zhao, and it will be difficult for him and Concubine Taizhen.

"At the beginning, the Holy Emperor said that as long as it is what Concubine Taizhen wants, outsiders will not be able to stop it. Those who disobey the order will be beheaded. What? Do you want to disobey the order?"

Yang Zhao said coldly.

"Subordinates dare not!"

The face of the leader of the forbidden army changed, and he and the others quickly stepped aside.

In front of Wang Chong, he was already trembling and sweating coldly, but his order was hard to disobey, and it was difficult to let him go. Now Yang Zhao appeared, holding the five-clawed golden dragon token, just in time to step down the donkey and step aside.

"Hmph, why are you still blocking the palace gate? Why don't you hurry up and get out of the way!"

Yang Zhao said coldly.

As soon as he reminded him, the imperial guards who were originally standing at the gate of the palace trembled, and quickly retreated to a further place.

Holding the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon Token, even they did not dare to disobey.

"My dear brother, let's go!"

Only then did Yang Zhao show a smile, triumphantly, he walked towards Wang Chong.

"Um!"

Wang Chong smiled slightly, boarded the carriage, passed through the palace gate with Yang Zhao, and drove into the inner court under the eyes of a group of imperial guards.

And no one noticed that as soon as the carriage passed through the palace gate, it was immediately quiet and the atmosphere was extremely dignified.

"Brother, what happened in the palace? The fifth prince was arrested and brought into the clan mansion. What's going on?"

In the carriage, the two brothers stood side by side. Wang Chong spoke first, breaking the calm.

"Don't you know? Xiao Yufei committed suicide."

Yang Zhao got straight to the point, with a dignified expression.

"What?!"

Hearing these words, Wang Chong's body trembled violently, his eyes widened, and he stared at Yang Zhao beside him. The latter seemed to know what Wang Chong wanted to ask, and nodded seriously.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, Wang Chong's face changed completely, and his heart sank instantly.

Although Yang Zhao didn't explain it carefully, Wang Chong already understood that the concubine Xiao Yu he was talking about must be the "concubine" who had an affair with the Fifth Prince.

"how could this be?"

Wang Chong muttered to himself, his heart was full of turmoil, and he had completely lost his original calm.

Concubine Xiao Yu was the key person in the whole matter. Wang Chong entered the palace this time because he wanted to meet Concubine Xiao Yu. The fifth prince's crisis, as long as he meets this Concubine Xiao Yu and asks the truth, it will be solved naturally.

It's just that Wang Chong never imagined that Concubine Xiao Yu was actually dead.

Before he entered the palace, this was beyond the reach of historical data!

Wang Chong has experienced the fierce fire training in the officialdom and the battlefield, and he has deeply understood that Xiao Yufei's death at this time is tantamount to death without proof. Even if the fifth prince was wronged by others, it can't be cleared away!

At this moment, Wang Chong's heart was extremely heavy.

"Now you know why the atmosphere in the palace is not right. A concubine died in the palace. The matter also involves a prince."

Yang Zhao said solemnly.

He is a gambler by nature, and he feels that apart from the collapse of the world, there is nothing in the world that makes it impossible to be happy. So he has been playing and laughing, cynical, but now even he can feel that the atmosphere in the palace is very wrong.
