Chapter 1654 News From Lingnan Road!

? Chapter 1654

"Clatter!"

Just a moment later, a carrier pigeon flew into Wang Chong's residence.

"My lord, it's a letter from the eldest prince."

Zhang Que picked up the carrier pigeon, took off the leggings, glanced at the sign outside, and immediately entered the hall in a hurry, and handed it to Wang Chong. In the main hall, upon hearing the news, everyone had already gathered.

The matter of Lingnan Road is of great importance. If the imperial court insists that Wang Chong must leave, it will have a great impact on the entire layout of the capital. So after Wang Chong wrote the letter, everyone in the foreign palace was waiting for the court's reply.

"Let's take a look."

Wang Chong typed the letter, just glanced at it, raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything, and immediately handed the letter to Xu Keyi and the others beside him.

A letter quickly circulated in everyone's hands. After reading the contents of the letter, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to utter a word.

Originally thought that with the eldest prince's character, he would definitely not agree to Wang Chong's request. Or they will try every means to urge Wang Chong to go on the road.

But unexpectedly, not only did the eldest prince not urge him, but instead he granted Wang Chong's request, and he also spoke earnestly in the letter, caring about Wang Chong's physical condition, and it seemed that he was not in a hurry at all.

Of course, at the end of the letter, the First Prince also mentioned in passing that the Lingnan matter is related to the hundreds of thousands of Yue people and the stability of the court. In general, he still hopes that Wang Chong can act as soon as possible and not delay too long.

In addition, the letter mentioned that Wang Chong is a pillar of the court, and now that the Tang Dynasty is employing people, he still hopes that the foreign king can share the worries of the court.

"This..., lord, the Eldest Prince's words are too gentle. It is completely different from his previous behavior. I'm afraid this matter is a fraud!"

Su Shixuan was the last one to look at it, holding the letter in his hand, pondering for a long time, Su Shixuan finally spoke, with a hint of worry in his voice.

Everyone knows what kind of person the eldest prince is. Everyone has already experienced the picket incident and border incident. If the First Prince was really the kind of person who is diligent in governing and caring for the people, and has a gentle temperament, he would not have been so furious and questioned Wang Chong repeatedly in the two incidents.

Not to mention, in order to deal with the Fifth Prince,

This person also directly killed a prominent concubine in the palace, the viciousness of the means is evident.

At this time, it is too unusual to be soft-spoken and uncharacteristically.

"My lord, I'm only worried about one thing. In the current situation, I'm afraid that the eldest prince may take the initiative to stir up disputes between Baiyue. When something really happens, I'm afraid the eldest prince will use this The reason for this is the prince. No matter whether the prince goes or not, I am afraid that he will be blamed and fall into a passive state."

At this moment, a voice sounded, Xu Keyi pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised her head and said, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed after hearing this sentence.

Following Wang Chong for a long time, I have seen all kinds of turbulent and undercurrents in the court, and I have also seen all kinds of behaviors of the eldest prince. Xu Keyi is no longer the former Wuxia Amon, and I can gradually guess some of many events. clues.

On the contrary, Wang Chong in the main hall frowned slightly, a little surprised. Xu Keyi's remark almost coincided with his deduction.

"It's not possible, but the eldest prince will definitely do it!"

Wang Chong said calmly, with one sentence, Xu Keyi's guess was finalized. In the hall, there were bursts of exclamations.

"My lord, what should we do now? If this continues, no matter whether we go or not, we will fall into the trap of the eldest prince?"

Zhang Que raised his head, his eyes full of worry.

As time passed, some information gradually became more detailed.

The counselor next to the First Prince was nicknamed "Ghost King". Apart from this name, everyone still knew nothing about him. With the addition of this person, the First Prince's behavior style changed a lot.

This kind of strategy is vicious and vicious. Whether it is advancing or retreating, it will make Wang Chong fall into extreme passivity. This is something that the previous eldest prince could not think of.

But the most important thing now is how to deal with it.

No one dared to imagine what would happen if Wang Chong left the capital for Lingnan and stayed there for a year or so, and finally the entire empire would be under the control of the First Prince.

Moreover, Zhang Que had also investigated Lingnan's information in detail during this period, and the problems there had a long history and were too complicated. How could Wang Chong be able to easily solve so many problems that even the experienced officials who were good at governance and had outstanding political achievements were transferred to Lingnan?

Not to mention, Wang Chong is still a general, not a real official.

——The eldest prince posed a really difficult problem for everyone.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Wang Chong, waiting for Wang Chong's answer.

Wang Chong frowned, closed his eyes and meditated, and remained motionless. No one knew what he was thinking.

At this time, no one dared to disturb, and everyone was waiting silently.

"I have my own measure in this matter!"

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Chong finally spoke.

"Shixuan, you took my token and set off tonight, heading to Lingnan overnight."

As Wang Chong spoke, he took off the prince token representing his identity from his waist and handed it over.

This scene was beyond everyone's expectations, and even Su Shixuan couldn't help being stunned.

"But this... my lord, I'm afraid... my ability is not enough for the matter of Lingnan!"

Even Su Shixuan didn't expect that Wang Chong would arrange for him to solve Lingnan's affairs. So many senior court ministers couldn't solve it, how could Su Shixuan be sure to solve it.

"I have my own opinion about Lingnan."

Wang Chong said calmly.

"When you get there, just follow my orders."

"yes!"

Su Shixuan was still a little uncertain at first, but when he heard Wang Chong's words, he immediately calmed down and his expression gradually became firm. No matter when, no matter what, even if he had never been in contact with the Lingnan matter before, as long as Wang Chong made arrangements and had a plan, Su Shixuan would not be afraid.

"The incident in Lingnan has been going on for a long time. On the surface, it is due to the mixing of Yue and Yue, but in fact it is caused by the uneven division of fields. But it is all a superficial phenomenon, and it can't be solved if it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. So No matter how many capable civil servants the imperial court sends over, it cannot be resolved."

Facing everyone's eyes, Wang Chong said slowly.

"It's actually very simple to solve Baiyue's problem..."

Wang Chong suddenly stretched out a finger, dipped the ink into the inkstone, and wrote two characters on the white rice paper.

"food!"

Everyone looked over one after another and read the two words on the rice paper. Some of them frowned, some were thoughtful, with different expressions.

"Fields are used for planting. In the final analysis, there are conflicts caused by insufficient food. If this is not resolved, no matter how the land is divided, Zhu Yue will not be satisfied. This is why, no matter how many ministers are sent, no matter how good they are. It is impossible to solve the problem of Baiyue."

"You go to Lingnan now, cut first and then play, everything is in charge. In addition, I will arrange for Zhang Munian to transport a large amount of grain to the land of Baiyue. You will be in charge of contacting and arranging for people from Zhuyue to learn to grow hybrid rice. The food problem will be solved. , Lingnan is naturally peaceful."

At that moment, Wang Chong stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were extremely deep.

In the hall, everyone looked at Wang Chong's figure, speechless for a long time. Everyone thought it would be difficult to solve a matter that had been left over from Lingnan for decades, but after analyzing Wang Chong's words, he immediately simplified the complexity and presented Lingnan's problem to everyone in a simple and straightforward way.

At that moment, everyone sincerely admired him.

In Wang Chong, there is always a kind of power that can see through the appearance and go straight to the bone marrow. No matter how difficult the problem is, he always has a way to solve it. And from the current point of view, although the eldest prince deliberately made things difficult for Wang Chong in Lingnan's problem, it seems that no one other than Wang Chong has the ability to solve it.

Su Shixuan didn't say much, took Wang Chong's token, and traveled across the night to Lingnan. Following Wang Chong's order, Zhang Munian also started to move in Jiaozhi, and a large amount of hybrid rice was transported to Lingnan.

In fact, Wang Chong had noticed the problem of Lingnan Baiyue before, but at that time, the hybrid rice had just started, the scale was not large, and everything was still immature. But slowly accumulating all the way, now, the time is ripe, and it is the best time to solve Lingnan.

Time passed slowly, and under the special exaggeration of some forces, the matter of Lingnan and Wang Chong's appointment as Lingnan's special envoy caused an uproar, and everyone in the capital knew it. But whether it was Wang Chong or the First Prince, they were not in a hurry at all.

Wang Chong was not in a hurry to go, and the First Prince was not in a hurry either.

It's just that the things surrounding Lingnan Road and Baiyue are already undercurrents in private. In the East Palace every day, I don’t know how many pigeons fly to Lingnan day and night.

"How about it? Is there any news from Zhang Xun? Tell him, as long as he can stir up internal fighting among the Yue people, I can promise him that he will be promoted to the official history, or even the governor of Lingnan in the future."

In the East Palace, the Eldest Prince sat on the throne, looking at His Highness Zhu Tong Endao.

"Report!"

It was too late to say that, at this moment, a Jinwu guard holding a long halberd rushed in amidst the vibration of clanging armor:

"Your Highness, a letter from Lingnan Zhang Xun Zhang!"

"What? Bring it up!"

Hearing these words, the eldest prince's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand immediately.

"Hahaha, I really said that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here. Zhang Xun! As expected, I didn't misunderstand you! As long as Wang Chong is defeated, I will never treat you badly!"

The eldest prince laughed out loud, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He has great expectations for Lingnan Road, and now everything is ready, the only thing he owes is the east wind. As long as a letter from Zhang Xun, he can arrange for all the officials in the court to cooperate to take down Wang Chong in one fell swoop.

In the worst case, it could also greatly damage Wang Chong's reputation among the people, and even use this to force Wang Chong to be sent to Lingnan. If the problem of Baiyue is not resolved, he will not be allowed to return to Beijing.

In this way, even if Wang Chong has great ability, he still can't turn his palm.

"Wow!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the eldest prince eagerly opened the letterhead, and hurriedly searched for the information he wanted in the letterhead.

However, it was only for a moment, the excitement and anticipation in the First Prince's eyes immediately cooled down, and his face slowly darkened, becoming extremely ugly.
