Chapter 1653 Lingnan Incident!

? Chapter 1653

"When did this happen!"

Wang Chong suppressed the shock in his heart, looked at His Highness's Jin Wuwei and said.

"The resolution was officially announced today, but the transfer order was sent to the Anxi Protectorate three days ago. There is no accident. General Gao Xianzhi is already on his way to the capital. We don't know anything else yet."

Your Highness's Jin Wuwei Road.

The entire capital is doomed to be difficult to calm down. There are six major protectorates in the Tang Dynasty, and the transfer of imperial generals is never a trivial matter. Except for the special case of Zhangchou Jianqiong, the generals of the Protectorate have not been transferred for more than ten years.

Even when the battle between soldiers and Confucianists was at its most intense, it was not that Confucianists did not think about transferring several generals from the Protectorate, but they all failed in the end.

But this time was different, Gao Xianzhi, the Protector of Anxi, became the first General Protector to leave his station, and once this precedent was set, it meant that the other Generals of the Protectorate could also be abolished.

Once it comes to military mobilization at this level, everything will be completely different.

Gao Xianzhi's transfer quickly attracted the attention of the entire capital, and then, a large amount of information was revealed in a short period of time.

The entire transfer order was issued by the First Prince himself, approved by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and affixed with the Holy Emperor's Seal.

Although the generals of the empire have not been moved for more than ten years, everyone is used to thinking that their positions will never be easily transferred, and they are easily opposed. But as the Regent, and with the Holy Emperor's Seal in his hand, the First Prince can definitely mobilize Gao Xianzhi.

Moreover, the reason why the First Prince transferred Gao Xianzhi was not an ordinary dismissal.

The eldest prince transferred Gao Xianzhi back to the capital on the grounds that there was no war in the frontier and he was promoted exceptionally. Moreover, in the last battle of Talas, Gao Xianzhi made great military exploits and was named a first-rank duke. The eldest prince took this opportunity to order the Ministry of Industry to build a duke's mansion for Gao Xianzhi, preparing for Gao Xianzhi to live in the capital forever.

In addition, when Gao Xianzhi served as the Chief Protector of Anxi, he was conferred the title of Grand General Zuo Yulin by the Holy Emperor. Now that he has returned to the capital, he is reassigned as Grand General Zuo Yulin.

In the main hall, Wang Chong sat on the throne, his body leaned back slightly, listening to the news one by one, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Have you found out who is the replacement of Gao Xianzhi's Anxi Chief Protector?"

Wang Chong opened his eyes,

Suddenly said.

"It's General Wu'an. The new appointment has been issued. It is estimated that General Wu'an will arrive at the Anxi Protectorate soon!"

Your Highness, everyone under Wang Chong's command gathered together, Cheng Sanyuan stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

"General Wu'an!"

Hearing this name, Wang Chong frowned slightly. Among all the titled generals in Datang, General Wu'an Huo Hao was undoubtedly one of the top titled generals.

Although his strength is not as strong as Gao Xianzhi, he has reached the peak level of brigadier general, and he is definitely one of the top existences below general.

According to what Wang Chong knew, Huo Hao was extremely talented, brave and good at fighting, and was extremely good at using soldiers. In the early years, he was An Sishun's strong competitor, and the two competed together for the position of the Chief Protector of Beiting.

It's a pity that in the end Huo Hao still missed a move and lost to An Sishun. But despite this, he also has great prestige in the army.

However, what Wang Chong cared about was far more than this, because Wang Chong knew better than anyone else that this Wu'an General Huo Hao was one of the subordinates of the First Prince Li Ying, and he had sworn allegiance to the First Prince a long time ago.

Replacing Gao Xianzhi and replacing his subordinate Huo Hao, the eldest prince used this method to take the most elite guard army in the northwest of the empire into his own hands.

Each of the six major guards of the empire is of great importance, and countless people are paying attention to it. In the past, even if the eldest prince had such an idea, he would have scruples and would never dare to do so. But now..., it seems that the first prince no longer has such awe and scruples in his heart.

"Has it finally started?"

In the main hall, Wang Chong held the information in his hand and muttered to himself.

The mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building. First, there was the Great Buddha Temple incident, and then the military changes in the northwest. At this moment, even though nothing had happened, Wang Chong could smell a storm coming.

Wang Chong had a feeling in his heart that all this was just the beginning, and it was far from over.

And it seemed to be in response to Wang Chong's speculation. When everyone was shocked by the transfer of the guardian Gao Xianzhi, only two days later, a eunuch in brocade clothes with an aloof expression stepped into Wang Chong with an imperial decree. foreign palace.

"Wang Chong, the foreign king, received the order:

According to the fate of heaven, the regent of the eldest prince called and said that Baiyue, South of the Five Ridges, was rioting again because of the land problem, and the assassin Wang Hu died. Yue people are aggressive by nature, and simple civil officials can't handle this matter. The king of a foreign land was born in a family of generals, famous for his martial arts, and also a seventh-rank civil servant in the Ministry of Industry. This is the perfect choice. Therefore, the king of foreign lands was appointed as the fifth-rank Baiyue garrison envoy, and he hoped that the king of foreign lands would leave immediately to relieve the court's worries, and try his best to resolve this matter, so as to relieve the danger of Baiyue! "

"The king of foreign lands, accept the decree!"

The brocade-clothed eunuch's eyebrows were drawn into his temples, while speaking, he flicked the fly whisk in his hand, and glanced at Wang Chong in front of him.

"Wang Chong leads the order!"

Wang Chong stepped forward and quickly received the imperial edict from the eunuch.

"My lord, the imperial court wishes that my lord can leave within three days. Please don't delay me too much!"

The eunuch who delivered the decree finished speaking and left quickly.

However, the atmosphere of the entire foreign palace suddenly collapsed. In an instant, Xu Keyi, Su Shixuan, Zhang Que, Cheng Sanyuan..., everyone's eyes focused on Wang Chong, or the imperial decree, one by one. His expression was extremely solemn.

The matter of Gao Xianzhi had just begun, and no one expected that the court would attack the prince so soon.

"My lord, you can't go, absolutely can't go! The eldest prince is a drunkard who doesn't want to drink!"

"That's right, this is to divert the tiger away from the mountain and completely transfer the prince out of the capital. If there is no prince, there will be no one in the entire capital who can stand up to the eldest prince!"

"The land of Baiyue has always been chaotic, and there are not one or two assassins sent by the imperial court. If you really go to Lingnan, I am afraid that the prince will not come back in a year or two. The eldest prince is trying to get the prince Completely trapped in Lingnan."

"The eldest prince can't deal with the prince, so he came up with this method. The prince can't let him get what he wants no matter what!"

??

Wang Chong gave orders, but he rarely explained everything. Therefore, for many of Wang Chong's actions, even Xu Keyi and the others were not too clear about the intentions behind them. But this time, even Xu Keyi and the others felt a strong sense of conspiracy by transferring an imperial general from the station without authorization and Wang Chong from the capital.

What frightened everyone was not this, but behind this series of actions, the scent revealed from the person deep in the palace. An overwhelming pressure is coming from there, no accident, the one in the palace is probably about to...

No one dared to say those two taboo words. Just thinking about it already made everyone shudder.

The black clouds are overwhelming the city, and everyone has a feeling that the next period of time will probably be the most restless and possibly the most difficult time for the empire. If even Wang Chong left the capital, no one dared to imagine what would happen next.

The hall was quiet. Wang Chong was standing at the entrance of the hall, holding the imperial decree in his hand, his eyes flashed. At that moment, no one knew what Wang Chong was thinking.

"Understood, I have my own opinion on this matter!"

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Chong said suddenly, his expression slowly becoming firm.

But just one day later, the carrier pigeon flew and flapped its wings, bringing Wang Chong's reply to the deep palace.

"Your Highness, I just received a reply from the King of Foreign Lands, saying that he is in poor health recently. Moreover, the matter in Lingnan Road is very important. He needs to think carefully and make some preparations before he can go on the road."

A moment later, a guard of the Eastern Palace picked up the pigeon and hurriedly stepped into the palace.

In the main hall, the First Prince Li Ying was standing above, and not far behind a Dagon Dragon table, the Ghost King was dressed in a black robe, lying on his side in the reclining chair.

After receiving the news, the two glanced at each other, as if they were not surprised at all.

"This Wang Chong is as expected. It is not so easy to transfer him out of the capital."

The First Prince snorted, threw the brush in his hand, and casually threw it on the snowflake rice paper in front of him.

"Hehe, since it was not expected, why should His Highness worry? Isn't his answer now already in our expectation? And it doesn't matter whether he goes or not. When something happens in Baiyue and there is another turmoil, His Highness will directly say If you don't follow the edict and despise the imperial court, just take him down."

The ghost king raised his head, looked away from the scroll in his hand, and said calmly.

"Conspiracy" has "conspiracy" and "Yangmou", this is the aboveboard "Yangmou", Wang Chong can't think about it, and he can't let him.

A few months ago, the eldest prince of the border incident had to reward Wang Chong, but he was unwilling to give him a real job, so he was conferred as a seventh-rank official of the Ministry of Industry. However, it became the best way to deal with Wang Chong.

Wang Chong was too cautious and upright, and he didn't leave anyone with any excuses. Moreover, he is resourceful and adaptable, and the First Prince's schemes have been thwarted by him several times. It is too difficult to deal with such a character.

If he cannot be defeated, then the best way is to completely transfer him away, from the capital, and from the power center of the empire. Just like the month when Wang Chong disappeared, no matter what the First Prince wanted to do, it would be much easier without the Great Tang Alien King.

"However, if only this is not enough."

In the main hall, the eldest prince's eyes turned. This time, he didn't need the ghost king's move, and he had many strategies in mind:

"Since we want to deal with him, we should simply increase the fire. Zhu Tongen, I remember that Zhang Xun, the deputy envoy of Lingnan, joined us a few months ago? Send someone over and let him take the initiative to stir up disputes among the Yues. The bigger the mess, the better. When the time comes, I'll see how he handles it!"

"yes!"

Zhu Tongen was taken aback, quickly lowered his head, and left in response.
