Chapter 1699 The Sunset Palace Incident!
Chapter 1699
But the next moment, seeing the person who spoke, the First Prince was stunned, and the murderous intent in his heart disappeared in an instant.
"Ghost King! What do you mean?"
The First Prince frowned, and suddenly said, with a strong sense of dissatisfaction in his voice.
Looking around the world, in the entire East Palace, the only one who dares to talk to the eldest prince like this, and at the same time be tolerated by the eldest prince, is probably only the ghost king.
But no matter how tolerant the First Prince was to the Ghost King, he would be extremely displeased to hear such inappropriate words, not to mention that the Ghost King was able to lie there and drink tea leisurely at such a pass.
"It's just a common man. No matter how strong it is, it's only the courage of a reckless man. Your Highness has been planning for so long. Could it be that the purpose is to deal with a foreign king?"
Hou Junji smiled, stretched out a hand, picked up the teacup on the table, and blew lightly, blowing away the thin layer of tea foam on the surface, with a relaxed and relaxed expression.
"you!"
Hearing these words, the eldest prince opened his lips, and instinctively wanted to say something, but soon thought of something, his expression was startled, and he couldn't utter a word.
good! He has planned for so long, not to compete with Wang Chong, but to ascend to the supreme throne in the whole world and become the most powerful land owner on this land.
"Has your Highness understood?"
Seeing that the eldest prince calmed down, Hou Junji smiled slightly, and then spoke. Although he was drinking tea leisurely by himself without even looking at the eldest prince, all the movements in the hall could not escape his eyes at all.
"Ghost King, what exactly are you trying to say?"
The eldest prince said, his expression was no longer as anxious as before.
"If you want to conquer the world, you can't just focus on the success or failure of a corner. That Wang Chong is indeed an obstacle, but it hasn't reached the point of blocking our plans. I have planned everything."
Hou Junji said calmly. He put down the teacup in his hand, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, a huge and convincing strength naturally appeared from all over his body.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, the entire East Palace hall was silent. The eyes of Zhu Tongen, Meng Tu and others all fell on the ghost king Hou Junji, all of them were stunned and speechless.
What Hou Junji said, there was something in it. This operation, everyone undoubtedly failed, but hearing what the ghost king said, he seemed to have planned a strategy, and before everyone knew it, he had already made other arrangements.
"Ghost King, what do you mean..."
The eldest prince's heart moved, and he subconsciously looked at Hou Junji and said.
"Haha, Your Highness, don't worry, your Highness will know about it soon."
Hou Junji smiled slightly.
In the main hall, everyone was lost in thought, unable to speak.
"clang!"
It was too late and then quickly, when everyone was contemplating, suddenly a clear chime sounded from far away, this chime sound was very strange, completely different from any chime sound in the palace before, the sound was like The dragon is like a phoenix, but with a hint of ferocious beast-like mocking hissing.
In the main hall, everyone looked at each other in dismay. Noise is strictly prohibited in the holy place of the imperial palace. Such pretentious noise might lead to the crime of killing. Moreover, they have never heard of this kind of bell after staying in the East Palace for so long.
And the direction from which the bell sounded seemed to be Taiji Palace, the direction where the Holy Emperor lived...
There are so many people in the East Palace, no one understands what the sound of the bell represents. At this moment, there are only two people in the hall with completely different expressions. The look of listening.
One sound!
Twice!
Three times!
The long bell and chime rang three times in a short period of time, and then the lingering sound lingered,
No more sound.
"Hahaha……"
When he heard the last chime, the eldest prince seemed to hear something from the chime, his eyes were bright, and he suddenly burst out laughing, which shocked everyone.
"Hehe, Your Highness, now we don't need to worry about the foreign king anymore, everything is ready and we only owe the east wind, and now the east wind has come!"
Hou Junji smiled slightly, flipped his wrist, and a sunspot appeared between his two fingers at some point, bang, flicked his finger, and the sunspot was ejected by him, and fell down with a bang. On the chessboard not far away.
On that chessboard, countless sunspots were densely packed, criss-crossing, creating many dangerous situations, but although this dangerous situation was dangerous, there was always something wrong, but when the sunspot in Hou Junji's hand popped out and landed on the chessboard, The last trace of flaw is also filled.
The real final word!
...
Three days later, when Wang Chong was still recuperating in the mansion, a large number of craftsmen were summoned to the palace of a foreign land to repair the rockery, garden pool, and buildings that were destroyed by the gods of Tianfu and a group of men in black. The news suddenly came from the northern border of Datang, shaking the entire empire:
In the entire northern part of the Tang Dynasty, all the frontier generals included the generals of the Beiting Duhufu, some of the generals in the western Qixi area, and the titled generals in the east of Fanyang Youzhou. There are more than a hundred top generals of the Tang Empire. In the absence of an order from the Ministry of War and no documents from the Ministry of War, he actually left the station without authorization and conspired for a private meeting in the Sunset Palace in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty.
The leak of the matter caused an uproar in the court, the eldest prince was furious, and had issued ten decrees in succession to take down all the generals who participated in the Northern Sunset Palace meeting. As for the Supreme Commander of the entire Tang Dynasty in the Saibei area, An Sishun, the Grand Protector of Beiting, and the Sunset Palace was under his nose, and he was also deeply involved in it, and had already been dismissed by the First Prince for investigation.
Overnight, a hundred top military generals were all arrested and imprisoned, and a commander-in-chief of the empire was dismissed for investigation. This incident was unprecedented in the Tang Dynasty. For the entire Tang Dynasty, it was tantamount to a huge change like a landslide!
As the current Secretary of the Ministry of War, the pillar of the entire Dafang in the imperial capital, this sudden change had a stronger impact on Wang Chong than anyone else.
"Hoof da da!"
After the incident broke out, horseshoes burst into the entire Foreign Land Palace. In a short period of time, countless cavalry came in and out. There was a lot of turmoil in the entire foreign palace, and the atmosphere was tense.
"how's it going?"
In the hall, everyone gathered together. When Zhang Que walked in from the outside, Wang Chong immediately turned his head and looked over. Everyone in the hall focused their attention on Zhang Que.
After the incident in the northwest, Wang Chong dispatched Zhang Que almost immediately, and all the spies and scouts under Wang Chong's command rushed to the northwest to investigate the matter.
The whole incident happened so suddenly. From the beginning to the end, Wang Chong did not receive any news. When the news came out, the First Prince had already acted vigorously and dealt with all the generals involved in the incident.
"My lord, the situation is not optimistic!"
Zhang Que took off his helmet and stepped over the threshold. His whole body was dusty, and his eyes showed obvious fatigue. In the past few days, he has been almost non-stop, concentrating on this matter. From the beginning to the present, he has not even had a moment of rest:
"We have investigated and found that the private meeting of hundreds of generals in the Sunset Palace did indeed happen, and the imperial court did not know about this matter in advance. From this point of view, the charges imposed by the imperial court on them did not wrong them!"
Zhang Que's first words made everyone's hearts sink.
"How is it possible? With so many generals, how dare they leave the station without the imperial edict!"
"That's right! And there are hundreds of people. It's impossible for them not to understand the seriousness of the matter. How could they do this without a legitimate reason?"
"Not only that, so many generals, doesn't anyone feel that there is a problem? Even if they conspire, from Qixi to Fanyang Youzhou generation, they have never communicated with each other, so how can there be a conspiracy?"
...
In the main hall, everyone could not hide their shock. Such a big event had never happened in the history of Tang Dynasty, and after careful consideration, there were many doubts in it, which was really unusual.
In the main hall, Wang Chong didn't speak, his expression was solemn, and he just glanced at Zhang Que who was opposite. It has been a while since the incident happened, and Wang Chong believed that with Zhang Que's ability, it was impossible for him to investigate this matter clearly.
"We sent people to investigate. On the day of the incident, those generals didn't know about it at all. They all received an edict from the imperial court, saying that the First Prince would appear in the Sunset Palace in a few days and convene everyone to discuss the border of the northern border. Matters. The Sunset Palace was originally the place where the Holy Emperor visited the northern frontier and stayed. In the past, or three years, or five years, there was a habit of convening the generals to discuss in the Sunset Palace. People dare to violate."
"Furthermore, the eldest prince is the regent, the direct son of the holy emperor, and the future prince. It is his first time to inspect the northern frontier. No one dares not to go for such a big event."
"It's just that when everyone arrived there, they found that the situation was completely different. Although there were many high-ranking generals in the Sunset Palace, there was no sign of the eldest prince at all. Moreover, judging from the situation afterwards, the eldest prince also claimed to be from the From the beginning to the end, no similar documents have been issued!"
Zhang Que said in a deep voice.
The whole matter was full of strangeness and doubts. The more he investigated and the more he knew, the colder he felt. No matter who is hiding behind the scenes, they must be thoughtful and extremely poisonous. There are so many generals of the Tang Dynasty, all of whom have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but they are all played by him in the palm of their hands!
There was silence in the hall, and everyone felt heavy in their hearts.
Wang Chong closed his eyes and remained silent. No one knew what he was thinking.
