Chapter 1938 The Abnormality of the Holy Emperor!

At that moment, countless past events came to his mind. He still remembered that in the mountains and forests of the Kunwu training camp, when his character was still submissive, Wang Chong scolded Li Jingzhong for him and exchanged blood for him;

Remember when he was deceived by Du Zhiqi and almost killed by the eldest prince, and Wang Chong tactfully pointed it out for him;

I remember that he had just learned martial arts, and was discovered by the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince, and sued the Holy Emperor, falsely accusing him of deceiving the emperor. Finally, Wang Chong stepped forward to help him escape from the disaster when he was without a master;

I also remember the time when Wang Chong stayed calm in the face of danger and led his troops to rescue him during the Three Kings Rebellion.

Time and time again, if it were not for Wang Chong, in the extremely dangerous power struggle, he would have died countless times, and he would not be alive today, let alone ascend to the position of prince and become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty!

For Wang Chong, Li Heng was deeply grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh, Your Highness doesn't need to blame everything on me. Wang Chong is just helping from the side. Your Highness is able to reach this day and be valued by His Majesty and canonized as the crown prince. Everything is the result of his own efforts."

"The reason why a tree is straight without support is because it is straight by nature and has nothing to do with external forces. When I helped His Highness, I have already seen that His Highness has a loyal heart and is destined to be the future crown prince."

Wang Chong smiled.

Li Heng also laughed when he heard this. He did not get entangled in this matter, but said: "Your help to me has always been engraved in Li Heng's heart. No matter how the future changes, you will be my forever friend!"

"Just like Your Majesty and Jiu Gong, I will believe in you and trust you no matter what in the future. I also hope that in the future, like my father and Jiu Gong, we can create another glory and legend for the Tang Dynasty!"

Wang Chong couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. He could feel that Li Heng's words were sincere and true, coming from the bottom of his heart.

"What Your Highness wishes is also what I wish!"

Wang Chong looked at Li Heng opposite him, smiled lightly, and said only one sentence.

At that moment, everything was speechless.

The canonization ceremony of Prince Li Heng ended in a lively atmosphere.

The great victory in the northwest, the appointment of the state crown prince, the Holy Emperor's dynasty, and the end of the war between soldiers and Confucianism. For the people of the Tang Dynasty, this was an unprecedented prosperous situation. The future was prosperous and showed a trend of long-term peace and stability.

According to the results of the previous discussions among the six departments, including Wang Chong's proposal, at least more than one billion taels of gold and silver obtained from the Battle of Dashi were allocated and distributed to the people of the entire Kyushu according to their families.

The profits from this war were brought to all the people in China. At the same time, the Ministry of Household Affairs allocated another 500 million taels of gold to build bridges, pave roads, construct water conservancy projects, and lay cement roads on a large scale to boost the national economy. All are thriving.

But behind all this prosperity, there is also a crisis lurking.

Three days later, a figure quietly entered the main hall of Wang Chong's palace.

"How about it?"

Wang Chong sat high up, his eyes slightly closed, and without raising his head, he asked.

He had been waiting here for a while, as if he had known that this person would appear. In fact, the entire palace guards had already opened passage for this person.

"Your Majesty."

The man was covered in a black robe and didn't say much. He just knelt down on one knee, took out a letter from his sleeve, held it high, and then remained motionless.

"Uh-huh!"

Just a blink of an eye,

The thin letter suddenly flew out like a sharp arrow and automatically fell into Wang Chong's hand. After taking it apart and taking a quick glance at it, a trace of deep worry suddenly flashed across Wang Chong's brows.

"I understand, please step back. Remember, this matter must not be mentioned to anyone."

Wang Chong quickly folded the letter and said in a deep voice.

"The villain understands."

The man was cautious and seemed to understand the seriousness of the matter. He just left the hall and disappeared without a trace.

"Snapped!"

Wang Chong flicked his fingers, and the letter in his hand turned into powder, leaving no traces.

"Your Majesty, how are you?"

Wang Chong raised his head, his heart full of worries. At that moment, he had a very bad feeling in his heart:

"Hey, I hope it's not what I thought!"

Silence quickly returned to the hall.

In the following time, everything in the capital was as usual, but there were some subtle changes in the atmosphere.

Three days later, a piece of news came out that shocked the officials. Without any notice, the Holy Emperor suddenly missed the morning meeting. Although the summons was quickly issued by the inner prison of the imperial court afterwards, and the next day, everything It returned to normal, and the Holy Emperor came to court normally, but the historian still recorded the incident.

All this seems to be just the beginning.

News soon spread from the palace that the Holy Emperor suddenly restored the 100 opera troupes that had been banned in the palace since the third year of Shengde. And one night, he suddenly summoned a troupe. Although it only took half an hour, the opera troupe was Eunuch Gao Lishi came forward and dismissed the troupe, and the next day, the Holy Emperor attended as usual and handled various affairs as usual, but this incident still made the ministers feel some unspeakable weirdness.

Several ministers wrote to ask the Holy Emperor if he wanted to reopen the theater in the harem. After all, if it was really so, the theater would not be a big mistake, but the Holy Emperor flatly denied it.

This left all the ministers at a loss.

Immediately afterwards, another piece of news came out.

The Holy Emperor was in the harem. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to eat lychees from Lingnan, so he issued a temporary order asking the Chief Secretary of Lingnan to send a box of lychees to the capital as soon as possible. Although the Holy Emperor did not ask for much, this matter still made the Chief Secretary of Lingnan busy for a while. He spent several days, killed two horses, and worked part-time day and night to finally deliver a box of fresh Lingnan lychees to the palace.

The Holy Emperor seemed to have just a sudden idea. He only asked for a box of lychees and did not ask Lingnan to pay tribute in large quantities. He also did not issue other similar orders afterwards. However, this matter still made the imperial censor in the palace very dissatisfied. Several of the imperial censors directly wrote memorials, saying that impeachment of the Holy Emperor wasted money, wasted money, and brought inconvenience to the local people.

The Holy Emperor was frank and admitted his mistake directly, and allocated money from the palace to compensate the people who were affected by the incident and the soldiers who transported the lychees!

All these things are trivial, but for the civil and military officials of the imperial court, everyone feels a little uneasy.

The Holy Emperor had been in power for decades, and his rulers were benevolent and his ministers upright. Something like this had never happened before.

No one knows what is going on, but for the veterans in the court, they can feel that the Holy Emperor seems a little different from before.

However, the Holy Emperor is still diligent in government affairs, and all the regulations are the same as before, making it difficult for the ministers to investigate too deeply.

However, although this was the case in the court, not many people outside the court knew that all this information was summarized and then sent to Wang Chong.

"Your Majesty, I dare not discuss matters in the palace, but His Majesty's actions are really abnormal and puzzling!"

In the palace hall, Zhang Que knelt on one knee, frowning and saying respectfully.

Almost all the news finally reached Wang Chong through Zhang Que. The Holy Emperor was known as the emperor of the ages, wise and powerful, but these recent performances even Zhang Que found a bit strange.

"Shut up, things in the palace are not for you and me to discuss!"

Wang Chong said in a deep voice.

What Wang Chong is doing now, including the information he asked Zhang Que to collect, is taboo. Officials are not allowed to criticize the king. If Zhang Que's words spread to other people's ears, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble. Regardless of everything else, Zhang Que is very likely to be arrested and imprisoned.

"yes!"

Zhang Que also realized that he had made a mistake, and his heart trembled, knowing that Wang Chong was also doing it for his own good, so he quickly lowered his head and remained silent.

Wang Chong just waved his hand, Zhang Que quickly stepped back and left, and the hall quickly became quiet.

Wang Chong held a letter in his hand and slowly frowned, a flash of worry in his eyes.

During this period of time, the court was calm on the surface, but because of the Holy Emperor's affairs, private ministers had long criticized it, and several ministers had come to see Wang Chong.

Since the Confucian War, Wang Chong has resigned from the position of Minister of War. Especially now that the world is at peace and the Ministry of War is idle, there is almost nothing to do. It does not make much difference whether Wang Chong participates in the court meeting or not.

However, despite this, as a hero of the Tang Dynasty and the first person in this dynasty to be enshrined in Lingyan Pavilion, Wang Chong still held a very high status among the ministers.

The Holy Emperor's matter is not a trivial matter. Those ministers came to Wang Chong, hoping to get help from Wang Chong, investigate the matter, and make sure that there was nothing wrong with the Holy Emperor, so as to appease the court.

"Last time during the Three Kings' Rebellion, I fed the Holy Emperor the Great Luo Immortal Pill. Isn't it possible that the Holy Emperor's condition hasn't recovered yet?"

There was no one around, Wang Chong frowned, muttered to himself, and suddenly said something.

During the Three Kings Rebellion, Wang Chong quietly sneaked into the inner palace and gave the Holy Emperor an extremely precious "Daluo Immortal Pill" that was almost comparable to a divine pill. This kind of Daluo elixir has supreme magical effects. It was refined by Daluo Immortal with countless efforts. There are only three pills in total, and it can cure all internal diseases.

Wang Chong originally thought that he had cured the Holy Emperor that day, and at least the Holy Emperor could issue a sword that would eclipse the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth and end the chaos, which was enough to prove that his condition was indeed improved, but now it seems that it is not so. Simple.

"Can it be said that the failure of the Shenwu realm impact is completely irreversible? However, the failure of the impact will at most lead to a decrease in skill. How can it lead to such a big change in personality? How to explain this?"

Wang Chong frowned more and more.

Judging from the current news coming from the palace, the changes in the Holy Emperor can no longer be explained by the decline in his skill.

"eagle!"

Wang Chong's light flashed and he suddenly spoke.

"My subordinate is here!"

The main hall was quiet, but soon, the voice of the eagle sounded from the ears. Just from the shadow behind Wang Chong, the eagle appeared from the side hall and knelt on the ground.
