Chapter 1677 Acting as Minister of the Ministry of War!

Chapter 1677

"Report!"

It was too late, and then it was too late, when all the ministers were still waiting for the eldest prince to make a decision, another news suddenly came to the court:

"Jiangnan Road, Guannei Road, Henan Road, Qianzhong Road...a total of 16 districts have Governors and Biejia. A total of 100 officials, big and small, jointly signed a letter recommending the foreign king Wang Chong to act as Minister of the Ministry of War!"

"boom!"

This sudden news caused chaos in the hall. If the recommendation of King Song, Zhangchou Jianqiong, Gao Xianzhi and others and the support of the border generals were understandable, then the current news made everyone in the hall unexpected. less than. Because the hundred officials mentioned in the letter were all civil servants, logically, they should be on the side of the First Prince and the Confucianism, and they would not support Wang Chong no matter what.

In the main hall, the First Prince's face turned green and then pale. If he could push Kong Wu forcefully before, now, with the support of these hundreds of officials, the support for Wang Chong in the court hall has become so loud that it cannot be increased. , Many things are beyond his control.

"Wow!"

Before everyone could react, the eldest prince had a gloomy face, and suddenly flicked his sleeves, Huo De stood up from the dragon chair.

It is absolutely impossible for him to personally promote Wang Chong!

"Retire!"

Throwing down these two words bitterly, under the astonished gazes of everyone, the eldest prince quickly disappeared from the court.

And following the departure of the First Prince, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was instantly erupted. Obviously, this scene was unexpected by everyone.

...

Boom!

In the East Palace, a delicate cyan jade porcelain wine cup was smashed heavily in the corner, it was smashed to pieces, and countless fragments shot out.

"Asshole! Asshole!"

"Wang Chong! I want your corpse to be shredded into thousands of pieces!"

...

In the East Palace, an angry roar resounded throughout the world.

After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony and far away from the courtiers, the anger in the First Prince's heart no longer needs to be suppressed, and it finally exploded completely. At this moment, the First Prince looked ferocious, his face flushed red, and those bloodshot eyes seemed like a head full of blood. Like a ferocious beast, it wants to choose and devour people.

Clang! Clang!

The whole hall was in chaos. Everything that could be smashed, ranging from tables, chairs, flower pots to small porcelain cups and paperweights, were all thrown out by the First Prince, and the entire Eastern Palace was in a mess.

Inside the East Palace, all the serving maids and eunuchs were trembling, and the surrounding guards were also full of uneasiness. They have served the First Prince for so long, and this is the first time they have seen the First Prince so angry,

Right next to a pillar in the main hall of the East Palace, the ghost king sat in his iconic reclining chair, calmly watching everything in front of him. In the entire hall, only the ghost king and the eldest prince had no fear, but his thick eyebrows, which were planning to plan a strategy and win thousands of miles, were also deeply frowned at this time.

Compared with the First Prince's anger, he was more concerned about the affairs of the court. Kong Wu's matter is not just as simple as acting as Minister of the Ministry of War, but also related to their future plans. If they can't hold this position in their own hands, then the next thing will be very troublesome.

"It seems that I underestimated him!"

The Ghost King frowned, and finally spoke.

Although Wang Chong's reputation in the Tang Dynasty was in full swing, to the Ghost King, he was just an insignificant junior. In his eyes, there was only one real opponent, and that was Su Zhengchen who was locked up in that Su residence, but Wang Chong's attack this time caught them by surprise.

"Bastard! King Song is sick in bed and can't even move. How can he support him? This must be the meaning of that bastard! There are also Gao Xianzhi and Ge Shuhan. I haven't done much surgery on them yet. How could they dare Against this palace!"

The First Prince was furious.

The hall was filled with depression, and no one dared to interrupt when the First Prince was furious. But no matter what, the result of this court meeting really surprised everyone.

"Gao Xianzhi and Ge Shuhan will help him, and the subordinates are not surprised. After all, Wang Chong used to serve as the chief guard of Qixi, and they are very close to their residences. With the strength of these chief guards, coupled with With Wang Chong's current reputation in the military, it is not difficult to call together the generals of the military. It is not difficult to send thousands of people to write a letter. The subordinates are just a little strange. What is going on with those governors and other officials? Logically, they shouldn't be on the side of the Ministry of War anyway, right?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the main hall. Not far away, Meng Tu, who hadn't started much, suddenly spoke. His head drooped slightly, looking like he was meditating.

Hearing this remark, the First Prince who was originally extremely angry froze, and suddenly stopped, with a look of thinking in his eyes. What Meng Tu said was his doubts.

"It's the old captain!"

The eldest prince pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, his expression calmed down a lot.

As soon as the word "Old Taiwei" came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

"Old Captain?"

Meng Tu frowned deeply, obviously not very familiar with this name.

"The old Taiwei is an important minister of the three dynasties. He is upright by nature, and his status is probably not much worse than Zhu Zi. Even the Holy Emperor respects him very much. Moreover, his disciples are very old. In the local area, many governors, other All of them are his disciples, and he is probably the only one who can get so many people to write a letter to support Wang Chong."

On the side, Zhu Tongen opened his mouth to explain, showing deep worry in his expression:

"It's fine for the others, but the old Taiwei's identity is extraordinary. This time, even he is on Wang Chong's side. The situation is very unfavorable to us!"

"However, the old Taiwei has retired for many years and has not interfered with the court for decades. Why did he suddenly make an exception this time to support Wang Chong? Moreover, if I remember correctly, the relationship between the old Taiwei and Wang Chong should be He never met each other, even when Duke Jiu was in power, he deliberately avoided it, why would he support Wang Chong at this time?"

In the main hall, another staff member said suddenly.

The others also showed doubts. People from the military line don't know the old Taiwei, but from the civilian line, as long as they have some status and weight, I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't know the old Taiwei.

For everyone, it was really puzzling and even more troublesome that the old Taiwei would go out for a foreign king who couldn't beat him.

The First Prince didn't speak, but it's not his doubt.

"Now is not the time to think about it. The key is how to deal with it next! His Highness can't just keep ignoring the voices of governors and other voices from around the border!"

Zhu Tongen said.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on the eldest prince, waiting for his decision.

The eldest prince was silent for an instant.

It is absolutely unacceptable for him to be canonized as Minister of the Ministry of War by Wang Chong.

...

"My lord, let the eldest prince go!"

While in the East Palace, the First Prince and a group of aides were gathering to discuss, Wang Chong, Gao Xianzhi, and Zhangchou Jianqiong also gathered together in the foreign palace.

Gao Xianzhi came to Wang Chong's mansion openly and aboveboard after entering the palace and having been briefed on his duties according to the normal procedures. As for Zhangchou Jianqiong, he dressed lightly and did not disturb many people.

Today's court meeting was only halfway through, and the eldest prince left angrily. Wang Chong had already received the news.

This is the first time this has happened since the first prince took office. Obviously, the first prince was extremely angry at Wang Chong's meddling. He would rather stop the court and leave a story behind than publicly announce that Wang Chong will be appointed as the acting military department. The post of Shangshu.

"The eldest prince has a deep prejudice against you now, and regards you as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, and wants him to announce that you will be appointed as Minister of the Ministry of War. It seems that it is far from an easy task."

Gao Xianzhi was sitting on a grand teacher's chair on Wang Chong's left, frowning.

"It can't be delayed any longer. King Song has fallen. Now, inside and outside the court, there is no one in our military department who can stand above the court, preside over the overall situation, and fight against the eldest prince and the Confucian sect. The more chaotic the situation, the more we need someone to make a decision." Xinxin, Wang Chong, there is no more suitable candidate than you."

Zhangchou Jianqiong also said aside.

Staying at home due to illness and recuperating in the mansion was originally an expedient strategy for Zhang Qiu Jianqiong when he felt the crisis. However, even now, Zhang Qiu Jianqiong still believes that it is the right time for Wang Chong to replace him and enter the court. best strategy.

After many experiences, Wang Chong's quickness, insight, wisdom, and skill have all been verified. On this point, even Zhangchou Jianqiong admitted that Wang Chong has surpassed King Song and himself, and possessed some kind of Leadership skills that surpass those of others.

With him around, at least someone can check and balance the First Prince and stabilize the current chaotic situation in the Tang Dynasty.

——He also discussed this point with King Song before, and this is the consensus of the two.

It's just that the current situation doesn't seem so easy.

"Don't worry! The eldest prince will agree!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Chong picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said calmly, with a confident and determined expression.

In a word, the eyes of everyone in the hall were immediately attracted. No one knew why Wang Chong was so sure that the First Prince would definitely let him be the Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Report!"

It was too late to say it, and it was so fast, when everyone was discussing, a figure bowed and rushed in from the outside in a hurry. As soon as he entered, he immediately knelt down on the ground:

"My lord, there is a father-in-law outside the court who said that he wants to confer the title of lord and take up the post of minister of the Ministry of War on his behalf. Please hurry up and receive the order!"

As soon as the voice fell, Gao Xianzhi, Zhangchou Jianqiong and others were stunned, and the hall was completely silent, and everyone was speechless. Wang Chong had just mentioned that the First Prince would definitely let him take the post of Secretary of the Ministry of War. Everyone wanted to ask why, but they didn't expect that the court would notify him so soon.

"Hahaha!"

Without too much explanation, Wang Chong laughed loudly, stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked outside. During the whole process, his face was calm, as if everything in front of him had been expected.

"Those who achieve great things don't care about small details", the eldest prince is the one who will do "big things". Wang Chong believed that he would definitely pass. What's more, there is Hou Junji beside him.

No matter what, he was sure to let him pass.

"Go, let's take the order!"

Wang Chong chuckled and quickly crossed the threshold.
