Chapter 1672 Old Captain (2)!

? Chapter 1672

Although the old Taiwei has not been in the court for a long time, his influence is very huge. Under the influence of Confucianism and Zhu Zi, he can still keep some courtiers and Confucian scholars silent, which in itself has already explained the problem. Many of the ministers who were excluded were the disciples of the old Taiwei. Like the old Taiwei, they were more or less contaminated with some of the old Taiwei's upright and unyielding characteristics.

But this is absolutely unacceptable to Confucianists who currently take the mission of great harmony in the world and come from the same origin. To some extent, it is even equivalent to traitors, so naturally they cannot be accommodated in the court.

As for the men and horses of the old Taiwei, they only asked right and wrong between actions and actions, and only wanted to have a clear conscience, so naturally they didn't care too much.

But despite this, the influence of the old Taiwei is still there, and it still has a great influence both inside and outside the government and the field. Even Zhu Zi and Li Junxian did not dare to go too far. And Wang Chong came this time to win his support.

In Wang Chong's plan, if he wanted to stop this civil strife and avoid huge sacrifices, he had to get the support of the old captain.

But the only problem is that the old Taiwei was in a state of retirement a long time ago. In this respect, he is somewhat similar to the Great Tang/Military God Su Zhengchen, except that Su Zhengchen was imprisoned by Taizong's death order, while the old Taiwei has long been I have made up my mind not to interfere in the affairs of the court any more, and to be an ordinary citizen with peace of mind.

This Zhiyi restaurant is a place where ordinary people in the capital gather. It can only be felt from the expression of the old Taiwei. He enjoys this kind of mingling with the people in the capital, personally experiencing their lives, and then feeling the rise and fall of the entire empire. Feelings of strength and weakness.

Moreover, he has been an important minister all his life, inside and outside the court, even if he is a first-class prime minister, he must respect three points in front of the old Taiwei. Seeing this kind of compliment and respect, the old captain obviously liked the feeling of being treated as an ordinary old man by passers-by.

Back then, even the Holy Emperor's request was rejected by him without hesitation, let alone other people. It was not that simple to get his help and approval, let him break the rules and intervene in the court.

"Young man, are you talking to me? Are you insane? There is only one old man here. Where did the old captain come from?"

The old man in Tsing Yi just paused for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, stretched out his wooden chopsticks, took a mouthful of green vegetables, and continued to drink with a small wine. His expression is rigid and indifferent, and when he speaks, he gives off a feeling of being cold and repelling others thousands of miles away.

Just these words are enough to make the hearts of any excited and passionate visitors feel cold,

Return in defeat. Obviously, even someone as prominent as Wang Chong is very unpopular with the old man in Tsing Yi.

"In addition, young man, this is not the place for you to appear. Turn left when you go out. A luxurious place like the Canary Tower is the place for you noble lords to go."

The old man in Tsing Yi said coldly.

"Hehe, senior, this junior Wang Chongtian is the king of foreign lands, and also the former governor of Qixi. This visit to senior is also for state affairs!"

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have retreated long ago, but Wang Chong smiled indifferently, saluted, and continued speaking without any trace of impatience.

"Boy, you don't need to register your number in front of me, the old man knows you."

Hearing the word "national affairs", the old man in Tsing Yi finally raised his head, his expression relaxed slightly, but there was still a strong sense of alienation on his body:

"If you want to discuss state affairs, you should enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony and discuss with those civil and military officials in the court, instead of going to this kind of place to talk to me, a bad old man."

"So, senior didn't deny it, right? If you are really not the old captain, you should say that I don't know anything, instead of mentioning the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Unexpectedly, Wang Chong laughed instead. The old man's reaction already explained everything, at least, the answer of the old man in Tsing Yi was already a disguised acknowledgment.

Hearing these words, the old man in Tsing Yi, or to be more precise, the old Taiwei froze. He obviously did not expect Wang Chong to say such a thing.

"Foreign Land King, don't waste your efforts. The old man knows that you are a little quick-witted, but it is useless to me. As early as decades ago, I have quit the court and stopped asking about the affairs of the court. , Over the years, there has never been an exception, so no matter what you want to ask, you will only be disappointed."

The old Taiwei said in a deep voice.

The person in front of him obviously came prepared. He investigated everything clearly before, and it is useless to deny anything at this time. But for the old Taiwei, no matter what tricks Wang Chong played, it was useless.

Among the government and the public, those who are old, but anyone who knows him well should know that his character has always been upright, if he likes it, he likes it, if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it, if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it, if he wants it, he's willing, it doesn't matter how many people he doesn't want to come, The reason why he didn't blow them away when they first appeared like other people did, and allowed Wang Chong to stand by his table and talk so much, was because he knew Wang Chong a little bit, and knew what was going on in front of him. The young man in this class is not the kind of scheming, scheming, dog-like person.

But that's all.

"You better go!"

In the last sentence, the old Taiwei directly issued the order to evict the guest, and his voice was quite indifferent.

"Senior doesn't want to intervene, and Wang Chong doesn't dare to force it. However, if I want to say that the entire capital is about to flow into rivers of blood, and what this junior asks for is also related to this, even so, do you think it doesn't matter?"

With a restrained smile, Wang Chong said with a straight face. After saying this, he stared at the old captain in front of him.

Beside the small wooden table, the old Taiwei has always kept people away thousands of miles away, and wanted Wang Chong to leave quickly, but when Wang Chong said these words, at that moment, Wang Chong clearly saw the old Taiwei's fingers holding the wine glass. There was a tremor.

Originally, he was drinking by himself, and he didn't look at Wang Chong when he spoke, but when Wang Chong finished speaking, the old captain finally couldn't help but raised his head and turned to look at Wang Chong.

"Boy, what are you talking about? The capital is an important place in the Great Tang Dynasty. Where did the blood flow like a river? If you don't tell the truth, don't blame the old man for reading your book instead!"

The old Taiwei said solemnly.

Seeing this, Wang Chong finally breathed a sigh of relief. The old Taiwei has retired for many years. As long as it involves matters in the court, he is always unreasonable. Can't convince him anymore.

But on the other hand, if the old Taiwei's insistence on retiring has reached the point where he is indifferent to such a major event, then I'm afraid he really found the wrong person.

"The younger generation is absolutely not talking nonsense. Of course, ordinary things cannot affect the capital, but what if it is the inner courtyard of the palace, and the young dragon opens its eyes and wants to replace the real dragon?"

Wang Chong said.

"boom!"

As soon as Wang Chong's voice fell, the old Taiwei trembled all over, as if struck by lightning, his expression was completely different from before.

"Bastard! Do you know what you're talking about! And can this kind of thing be said here?"

The old Taiwei sternly said.

Although Wang Chong spoke cryptically, the information revealed in his words was enough to shock anyone. "The young dragon opens its eyes and wants to replace the real dragon." This clearly means that in the inner courtyard of the palace, there is a prince who wants to kill his father and commit rebellion. This is a far more serious matter than those among the princes. , its influence is big enough to make anyone turn pale when they talk about it.

In the past dynasties, as long as there is any connection with this matter, there are countless people who will lose their heads and lose their lives.

"Senior, it's not that this junior is lying. If there is no conclusive evidence, it is impossible for this junior to say that. And..., senior, don't worry. This junior has already used secret techniques to seal off the surrounding area, so other people can't hear it at all. Our conversation."

Wang Chong said.

"The prince disobeyed and conspired to rebel", this kind of thing is too forbidden, and it is not something that can be discussed in the public at all. However, Wang Chong's current cultivation base has already reached the point where he can control the energy in the void. As early as when the two of them were talking, Wang Chong had already controlled the free energy in the void and sealed it off, making the gap between the two No one else can hear the conversation at all.

Hearing Wang Chong's words, the old Taiwei's sharp expression eased slightly, but it was still very ugly.

"Sit down and talk!"

The old Taiwei pointed to the position in front of the table and said.

"If I let this old man know that you are lying, even if you are a disciple of Jiu Ling, the disciple of the Holy Emperor, this old man will not spare you."

The old Taiwei stared at Wang Chong in front of him, and said with a serious face.

"Whether this junior is lying or not, Mr. Taiwei will know after looking at these few things."

Wang Chong opened his mouth and said, while speaking, he took out a few prepared things from his arms and handed them over. There was a letter and a brocade handkerchief inside. Seeing the blood-stained handkerchief, the old Taiwei looked at Wang Chong opposite, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"That belongs to Eunuch Gao Lishi!"

Wang Chong said in a deep voice, just one sentence, and the face of the old Taiwei on the opposite side changed instantly.

...

Coming out of Zhiyi Restaurant, Wang Chong let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was well prepared. Regardless of whether the matter of Gao Lishi was true or not, with the ability of the old captain, he would naturally find out if something happened to Gao Lishi. It is enough to illustrate the problem.

As for the other letter, it was a letter between the First Prince and a titled general in the frontier that Wang Chong finally obtained. Although there was no evidence of the imaginary stone hammer in it, there were many words in it. It was very taboo. With the experience and insight of the old Taiwei, Wang Chong didn't believe that he would not understand what this meant.

With these two things, there is no need for Wang Chong to elaborate on many things that follow.

Wang Chong boarded the carriage and quickly left Zhiyi Restaurant.

"It's time to do that next thing!"

Wang Chong thought to himself, compared to Gao Xianzhi and the old Taiwei, the next thing is the most important thing.
