Chapter 1714 Imperial Palace, West Campus!

Chapter 1714 The current situation is very unfavorable to Zhao Fengchen. Zhao Fengchen is almost completely in a state of being alone against the crowd. In this regard, the people in the hall can only give him support behind the scenes, and they can't help at all. Helping him directly, especially considering that what he was facing was Hou Junji, the famous god of war who broke the army in the Taizong era, the more so. Although everyone in the hall is by no means a fool, no one is so conceited that he can compete with the god of war who broke the army in Taizong's era in terms of resourcefulness. In the previous few incidents, whether it was the Sunset Palace incident or the Beidou City incident, the God of War, who broke the army, showed extremely terrifying calculations and methods. Under such circumstances, if there is anyone who can help Zhao Fengchen and compete with the Pojun God of War, Wang Chong is probably the only one left. There was silence in the hall, except for the crackling of candles. Time is passing by bit by bit, until 3:00 noon tomorrow, it will be the time for the imperial army to compete, and it will also be the time for the empire to reshuffle for decades, and there is not much time left for everyone. "Actually, I'm not worried about Zhao Fengchen's affairs. What I'm really worried about are the three commanders!" Wang Chong said. In one sentence, everyone was taken aback. The next moment, as if he understood something, he couldn't help showing a look of horror in his eyes. The three commanders of the imperial army were all of high status and high strength. It never occurred to the people that the First Prince would attack them. "Report!" It was too late and then quickly, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall. At this moment, it was past midnight, and the entire foreign land palace was silent except for the main hall, and the sound of hurried footsteps was extremely ear-piercing in the night. "My lord is not well! I just received a carrier pigeon from the palace, and the two commanders were attacked!" The guard, sweating profusely, immediately prostrated himself on the ground as soon as he stepped into the hall, and said in a panic. "What?!" Hearing this news, it was as if a thunderbolt struck the hall, and everyone's expressions changed instantly. "How did this happen? When did it happen? Where's the assassin?" Wang Chong's uncle Li Lin strode over and grabbed the guard by the collar. "I don't know the exact time, but it should have been half an hour ago. The palace is already investigating this matter." The guard raised his head and said, his face was extremely pale. "Where is Mr. Zhao? How is Mr. Zhao?!" A voice came from the side, and Wang Chong's younger uncle, Wang Bi, also hurried forward a few steps, and said eagerly. "General Zhao is fine, and the other party also attacked his residence, but General Zhao was not there, so he escaped successfully." The guard said. In the hall, everyone felt heavy in their hearts, and the atmosphere was even more oppressive. At this critical juncture, although the guard did not reveal the identity of the assassin, the identity of the other party was self-evident. "Chong'er, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. Hou Junji actually sent people to attack the two great commanders. For the present plan, we have to find a way as soon as possible to make this matter a big deal, and try to let the eldest prince delay it." Tomorrow's Forbidden Army Contest. At the very least, this match should be postponed until the two commanders recover." Li Lin turned his head almost immediately, looked at Wang Chong and said. He has been in the imperial army for so long, and he is no longer the small captain of the city gate. He has already understood the treachery, danger and complexity of politics. Now the only way is to expose the matter, expand its influence, let the court focus all its energy on hunting down the assassin, and find a way to delay the time of the game. "It's useless!" Wang Chong shook his head, and the first sentence he said stunned everyone. "If it was the eldest prince who planned this matter, we still have a chance, but if it is Hou Junji, he will never give us a chance to delay. If I am not wrong, it is said that he was attacked, but apart from the two elders Outside of the commander, I am afraid that no one saw the assassin at all, and this is the reason why the two commanders were seriously injured, but they were not killed." "Tomorrow, the eldest prince will definitely say that there is no encounter in the palace at all. The attack incident was just that one of the commanders went astray in his practice and went mad. As for the other one, although I don't know the specific situation,

But there is no accident, his injury should not be very serious, but even so, it is enough for him to win tomorrow's Forbidden Army contest. "!" ! ! "In the main hall, everyone looked at Wang Chong and was speechless. "My lord, this subordinate will go to contact the palace to find out the situation!" "Besides, Zhang Que seemed to think of something, bowed and said hastily, "Hmm! "Wang Chong nodded. Although he already knew the answer in his heart, he didn't stop it. After all, everything was unavoidable. Before tonight, Wang Chong had already sent them a letter to remind them. It's a pity that a few people Too arrogant and arrogant, I didn't listen to his suggestion at all, otherwise it wouldn't be like this at all. Fortunately, Zhao Fengchen didn't have an accident, Wang Chong secretly said in his heart. Wang Chong reminded Zhao Fengchen before that once it's night, don't Staying at the original residence again, it is precisely because of this little "suggestion" that Zhao Fengchen managed to escape. "My lord, what should I do next? "Xu Keyi said suddenly. For a moment, all eyes were on Wang Chong, and a needle could be heard in the hall. With just one attack, the eldest prince put everyone in an extremely passive and disadvantaged position. In this situation, Everyone was at a loss and didn't know what to do. "Don't panic! The situation has not reached that point of no return. "Wang Chong slowly closed his eyes, and said with a calm expression. The invisible appeal made everyone calm down unconsciously. The more dangerous the situation, the more they need to be calm. For Wang Chong, this is already a basic ability. : "The one in the East Palace has long used unscrupulous means in order to gain power. The Forbidden Army is very important, and it is still above the frontier defense. so easy! "You all go down, I have already arranged everything!" "Wang Chong said calmly, one sentence made everyone feel at ease. "Xu Keyi, you stay. Immediately hand over this letter to the deaf and dumb, let them hand it over to Zhao Fengchen right now, I have already arranged everything in the letter. Wang Chong said. "It's the prince!" Xu Keyi took the letterhead and left quickly. When the people in the hall left, Wang Chong's uncle Li Lin deliberately slowed down by two steps and stayed at the back. "Chong'er, this matter is a bit strange. The palace is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter, not to mention the residences of several great commanders in the palace, surrounded by a large number of Forbidden Army masters, not to mention the Forbidden Army contest tomorrow. The guards must be much tighter than usual. Under such circumstances, the opponent can still injure two powerful commanders of the imperial army without leaving any clues. This is by no means something ordinary people can do." "This I know the matter myself, and everything will be cleared up by tomorrow!" Wang Chong said. "So you've already noticed it!" Li Lin nodded slightly and left quickly. After everyone left, Wang Chong stood silently in the room alone, motionless. After a long, long time, Wang Chong returned to the sand table and stared at the Tang Palace next to the sand table. His gaze gradually became extremely deep, and no one knew what was going on in his mind. The moon was setting and the stars were sinking, and the night passed in the blink of an eye. After noon, the martial arts competition of the Forbidden Army in the Tang Palace finally began. The location of the competition is the school field on the west side of the palace. This is the largest school yard in the entire imperial palace. The north and south ends are more than a thousand feet apart. The ground is paved with thick stone bricks, and diamonds are cast underneath, with inscriptions engraved on it. It is extremely strong. Contrary to imagination, this time the Imperial Army was reshuffled. Instead of closing the doors to thank guests, the eldest prince spread the word in the capital, and opened the doors to all the princes, nobles, and wealthy families in the capital, allowing them to come. watch the battle. "Boom!" When it was time for the match, the entire palace was buzzing with excitement, and the weather was completely different from before. "This time, the First Prince invited so many noble families and princes and dignitaries, just to amplify the impact of this matter, so that everyone will finally accept the result. Moreover, the First Prince has already controlled Anxi, Beiting and Beidou. Now Many aristocratic families are wavering, and are considering whether to turn to the First Prince, and the situation is very unfavorable to us!" At the gate of the palace, a gorgeous bronze carriage inlaid with gold and silver, slowly passed by, inside the carriage, Li Lin Looking at the carriages of aristocratic families leading to the western school grounds, there was a hint of worry in his eyes. He came here specially to pick up Wang Chong and go to the western school grounds. Li Lin was originally a general of the imperial army, so he was not restricted by the school grounds. On the side, Wang Chong frowned slightly when he heard the words. Regarding the Great Buddha Temple incident, Wang Chong tried his best to prevent those great families from getting involved in the struggle for imperial power, but as the First Prince gradually gained power, some families wavered again and wanted to take refuge in the First Prince. But only for a moment, Wang Chong's brows relaxed: "Which family is the most active during this time?" Wang Chong asked abruptly. "The Wei family in Kansai." Li Lin said in a deep voice. The Wei family in Kansai is also a big family in the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years. It is the richest family in Kansai, and the family's business spreads all over Kyushu. He even has a lot of contact with Dashi. The profit obtained from Dashi almost accounted for more than 30% of Wei's income. More importantly, Wang Chong had a vague impression that Kansai Wei was also an important participant in Wang Chong's ongoing cement road project. Even the Kansai generation, Wang Chong handed over to them to manage. "Everything has a price, Kansai Weishi wants to make money with us, and also wants to please the First Prince, how can there be such a good thing.

"Wang Chong said indifferently: "Notify all the families that cooperate with us to end all cooperation with Kansai Wei, and exclude them from the construction of the cement road. No family can have any contact with Kansai Wei. In addition, inform Yang Hongchang of Talas City that from now on, all Kansai Wei's caravans and their goods cannot pass through Talas. "
