Chapter 1655 An Accident Happened to King Song!
? Chapter 1655
"This, this..., how is it possible!"
The eldest prince gritted his teeth, his expression was completely different from before.
"Your Highness, what's the matter?"
Zhu Tongen looked astonished, and finally couldn't help but speak.
With Zhang Xun's cooperation in Lingnan's matter, logically it should be sure, not to mention that Wang Chong is still in the capital and has not set off yet. But for some reason, after receiving Zhang Xun's letter, the eldest prince stood there alone, motionless, making people completely unaware of what happened, which made Zhu Tongen feel very uneasy.
"Wow!"
As soon as Zhu Tongen's voice fell, the light flashed, and accompanied by the rustling of paper, the letter in the eldest prince's hand immediately floated over. Zhu Tongen subconsciously took it, just glanced at it, and was suddenly speechless Out.
"How could such a thing happen, the King of Foreign Lands was already prepared!"
Zhu Tongen muttered to herself, and finally understood why the eldest prince had such an ugly face.
Zhang Xun did follow the eldest prince's order and found a way to actively provoke the conflict between Baiyue, but the only thing people didn't expect was that when Zhang Xun was doing this, a group of people suddenly appeared, driving Entered the land of Baiyue, and also brought a large amount of food, and actively reconciled the conflicts between the Yue people.
The conflict between the Yue people was originally caused by the lack of land and food shortage. The tens of thousands of shi of food immediately turned the two sides into friendship. Not only that, according to the other party, the tens of thousands of stones of grain is only the first batch, and more grain will be transported into Baiyue in the future.
This situation is obviously not what the First Prince and Zhang Xun want to see, so when Zhang Xun got the news, his first reaction was to send someone to stop them, but to Zhang Xun's astonishment, the other party actually took out the foreign king Wang Chong. In the name of the Lingnan special envoy, the token was announced to all parties to appease Baiyue.
Although Zhang Xun is the deputy envoy of Lingnan, there is still a lot of gap compared with Wang Chong. Even Zhang Xun had to be in awe of the title of King of Foreign Lands.
Not only that, shortly after entering Lingnan, the other party also sent a large number of masters in martial arts, field measurement and planting, warrior guards, and others taught the Yue people to grow rice. In a short period of time, with the combination of kindness and power, the king of foreign lands won the surrender of a large number of Yue people.
In addition, the Alien King re-divided Baiyue,
Taking the junction of Hejiang River and Guijiang River as the center, the whole Lingnan is divided into two regions, "Guangdong" and "Guangxi". Zhuyue no longer divides and measures fields by clan in detail, but distinguishes them by region.
But when the news came out, Zhuyue didn't have the slightest objection. This alone eliminated the contradictions between Baiyue a lot.
"this……"
Seeing the last point, even Zhu Tongen couldn't help being stunned, sighed in his heart, and was speechless for a long time.
They had carefully analyzed the problem of Baiyue in Lingnan Road beforehand, and it was basically a deadlock, and almost no one could solve it. However, Wang Chong used a large amount of food to buy people's hearts. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he divided Lingnan Road into "Guangdong" and "Guangxi".
And Wang Chong was clever enough to use the two rivers of He River and Gui River to divide the two regions and resolve the conflict between the two regions in advance. This move alone is extremely clever.
The Tang Dynasty is divided into 15 paths in total, which are basically based on the previous dynasties and according to the original division of administrative regions, after a certain degree of revision. Such a division method with mountains and rivers as the dividing line has never appeared before.
Wang Chong divided Lingnan Road into "Guangdong" and "Guangxi". This move seems simple, but it is easier said than done, and not everyone has such courage and insight.
"It's a pity that such a person wants to oppose the First Prince!"
Zhu Tongen sighed inwardly.
"Bastard! This matter will never end like this!"
The eldest prince's roar echoed throughout the entire East Palace.
...
"Clatter!"
At the same time as the East Palace received the news, another carrier pigeon flew across thousands of mountains and rivers, and soon flew into Wang Chong's foreign palace.
After reading Su Shixuan's message from Lingnan Road, Wang Chong smiled and said nothing.
"That's right! With Su Shixuan here, Baiyue's problem can be solved!"
Wang Chong smiled.
Su Shixuan's execution ability is indeed very strong, Wang Chong's order, he almost 100% perfect execution. Su Shixuan's entry into Lingnan not only appeased Zhuyue, but also made them accept the geographical division of "Guangdong" and "Guangxi" with rivers as the boundary.
"Guangdong" and "Guangxi", this is the division method of Lingnan Dao later generations, which was already familiar in that era, but it is obviously relatively new to the current Tang Dynasty.
"Send Su Shixuan to further solve the problems of field division and measurement!"
Wang Chong ordered.
...
Time flies, everything is on the right track, and everything in Lingnan is developing in a favorable direction, but things will never develop completely according to the expected plan.
Two days later, when Wang Chong was checking the report letter sent from Lingnan in the palace, there was no sign at all. With a bang, Wang Chong's mind roared, and at the same time, the voice of the Stone of Destiny rang in his ears.
"Warning, special event, key person is about to die, the chance of host failure of the Three Kings Rebellion increases by 20%!"
Hearing this voice, Wang Chong was startled, and he raised his head from the letter paper.
too suddenly!
Everything in the palace of the foreign land was peaceful, and Wang Chong had no idea what happened. And the key person, who is the key person?
"What does the reminder of the Stone of Destiny mean?"
Wang Chong's heart went up and down one after another.
At this special time, anything related to the Rebellion of the Three Kings will attract his great attention. Not to mention such a solemn warning from the Stone of Destiny. Moreover, even though we don't know who the key person mentioned by the Stone of Destiny is, judging from the past rules, the Stone of Destiny will definitely not aim at nothing.
All of this made Wang Chong's heart beat and he felt a strong sense of unease.
However, before Wang Chong could figure it out, the next moment, the sound of hurried footsteps entered his mind.
"Foreign King, no good, something happened!"
It was too late to say it, and then, accompanied by an anxious voice, a familiar figure rushed in hastily outside the main hall of the palace.
"Lord Lu?"
Seeing that figure, Wang Chong was startled and stood up abruptly:
"How did you come!"
The figure rushing from outside the hall, with a wide robe and big sleeves, elegant demeanor, gave people a feeling of being well-read and knowledgeable. It was Lu Tingzhi, the Grand Scholar of Lu Tingzhi, whom Wang Chong hadn't seen for a long time. But it was different from the past. When Wang Chong looked over, he saw that his expression was anxious, his hair was disheveled, and he completely lost the elegance and calmness of the past.
In an instant, Wang Chong's eyelids twitched, and he felt a very bad feeling in his heart.
"Foreign King, it's bad! King Song was assassinated and is still in a coma!"
Lu Tingzhi said anxiously.
"What!"
Hearing these words, it was as if a thunderbolt fell in a flash. Wang Chong was shocked, and his whole body was terrified, and his face changed.
impossible!
This was the first feeling in Wang Chong's heart.
When the Stone of Destiny reminded him, Wang Chong had thought about everything, but he did not expect that something would happen to King Song.
Moreover, although the King of Song seldom shows off his mountains and dews, his strength is extremely high, not inferior to that of the King of Qi. Even compared to Gao Xianzhi and others, he is not inferior. How could something happen to such a character.
But when Wang Chong looked at Lu Tingzhi, looking at that pale face, Wang Chong's heart sank in an instant.
...
The carriage rolled, and it drove out of the foreign palace after a while.
"What exactly is going on?"
In the carriage, Wang Chong and Lu Tingzhi sat side by side, but the atmosphere was extremely tense.
For the entire empire, the name King Song holds a pivotal position. This is the pillar of the entire empire, and it has been in charge of the empire for more than ten years. Behind the prosperity of the empire, there is an indelible contribution from King Song.
In the entire empire, there was almost no one who didn't know King Song. Even Zhangchou Jianqiong, An Sishun, and Ge Shuhan, the top guards of the empire, respected King Song extremely.
It is precisely because of King Song that the guards of all major capitals can sit in the frontier without any worries.
The fall of King Song was a drastic change for the entire empire and the military.
"...We haven't investigated the specific situation until now. When I received the news, King Song had passed out. I asked carefully, and all I know is that before the accident, King Song went out for a trip, and when he came back, he was already poisoned. It's very deep. But no one knows the specific situation."
Lu Tingzhidao, speaking of this matter, is still shocked until now. He and King Song have known each other for more than ten years, and he has followed King Song since a long time ago. Lu Tingzhi did not expect such a big thing to happen this time.
"How is it possible? Doesn't even the old housekeeper know?"
Wang Chong asked.
The old housekeeper and Song Wangjiao never leave Meng, and Meng does not leave Jiao. Now that the palace has undergone drastic changes, if there is one person who knows all the inside information, then the old housekeeper is probably the only one.
"The old butler is more anxious than anyone else now that the king of Song has fallen. Moreover, the old butler has been guarding the side of the king's bed since he returned to the mansion. He is motionless and does not answer anyone's questions. Watching King Song grow up, this incident probably hit him harder than any of us."
Lu Tingzhi sighed.
Why didn't he think about asking the old butler, but with the old butler's current state of mind, he couldn't speak at all.
There was a dead silence in the carriage. After listening to Lu Tingzhi's words, both Wang Chong and Lu Tingzhi fell into silence.
Both of them are members of King Song's lineage, and what happened to King Song was a great shock to both of them.
The carriage was rolling, and there was no word on the way. After a while, the two arrived at the Song Palace. I saw many carriages parked outside Song Wangfu.
When Wang Chong got off the carriage, he saw that the entire Palace of the Song Dynasty was in a tense atmosphere, with many people coming in and out, making a mess.
