Chapter 1942 Secret Meeting!

The censors speak freely and are responsible for monitoring the entire world. They can say this, but others cannot.

Moreover, His Majesty has worked hard to govern, and regardless of his civil and military skills, he is only outstanding among the kings of the Middle-earth China. Several imperial censors said that the Holy Emperor was a faint king, but that was far from that level.

"Everyone, a lot of things have happened recently, but His Majesty is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty after all. Whether it is the draft or the construction of the Taiping Tower, it is actually His Majesty's power, and with the financial resources of the Tang Dynasty, it should be enough to afford the construction of the Taiping Tower. , As for the matter of withdrawing from the DPRK..., I believe it is only a temporary matter, your Majesty is the king after all, and after a while, normalcy will naturally return to normal inside and outside the DPRK!"

King Song stood up at this time and had to speak to comfort him.

Several censors are strong-tempered, but after all, in front of so many ministers, they still have to save some face for His Majesty, and the censor is a censor, and everyone cannot imitate the censor and say "faint king".

"Wang Chong, I've been thinking about it for a long time. What happened in recent times is really extraordinary. Looking at the past, His Majesty is definitely not a womanizer. Why would you suddenly select a large number of concubines at this time? And with His Majesty's style, even if he is unable to go to court, he will leave oral instructions to indicate the affairs of the prime minister and the ministers of the court. He will never go to court one after another without saying anything like now, and there is no news. I always feel There is something weird about this matter, or there is another reason behind it.”

"And this matter has already caused turmoil in the court and among the people. It's okay now, and everything has just begun. But if it goes on like this for a long time, I'm afraid people will be panicked and disciples will be in turmoil. No matter what, we must find a way to solve this situation and avoid This situation occurs.”

King Song turned around at this time and looked at Wang Chongdao beside him.

Among the civil and military officials in the entire hall, Wang Chong is the youngest, but in terms of status, apart from the prince, Wang Chong is the highest.

Moreover, Wang Chong was the king of a foreign land personally conferred by the Holy Emperor. In terms of status, he was by no means lower than the King of Song. On the contrary, he was far above the King of Song because of his series of military exploits.

In terms of favor and respect from the Holy Emperor, no one here can surpass Wang Chong, which is why everyone gathered here today.

"That's right, Wang Chong, you are the most respected person by my father, and you are also the one who can best understand my father's thoughts. This matter cannot continue no matter what!"

Li Heng also followed suit.

Following the prince's words, everyone's eyes focused on Wang Chong, and the entire hall became quiet.

In the corner of the main hall, Xu Keyi, Su Shixuan and others were shocked. Unknowingly, the prince had become a powerful minister in the court. The scene in front of them was enough to explain everything.

Wang Chong said nothing. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind one after another.

Unconsciously, after going around in a circle, the whole world seemed to be back on its original track.

Defeated the coalition forces of Meng Shezhao and Uzang, annihilated Dashi, severely defeated Uzang, and changed the fate of the court and the people of China. However, it seems that he was the only one who did not change the "destiny" of the Holy Emperor. , indulging in women, building palaces, not going to court... Deep in his memory, the things that happened in the late Tang Dynasty and related to the Holy Emperor reappeared in another way.

Although these things are somewhat different from what I remember, there is no doubt that the essence of the two is the same.

"Don't worry about this matter!"

Wang Chong thought for a long time.

Finally spoke:

"The Holy Emperor's successive absences from court are only temporary matters. It won't be long before the Holy Emperor goes to court again. You don't have to worry about this."

When he said these words, Wang Chong looked calm and determined, giving people a strong appeal.

After hearing Wang Chong's words, everyone looked startled and greatly surprised.

"My lord, are you telling the truth?"

Everyone couldn't help but speak.

Compared with the Holy Emperor's draft and many other things, everyone is most worried about the fact that the Holy Emperor now lives deep in the harem and does not attend the morning court.

As a minister, if you can't see the king, the way of speech is blocked, even if you have great ability, you can't use it. If the censor wants to impeach you, there is nothing you can do about it. But if the Holy Emperor comes to the court in person, everything will be completely different.

Wang Chong did not speak, but nodded slightly.

Although all the behaviors of the Holy Emperor now seem very weird, from the Xia and Shang Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, in all dynasties, even the most reviled emperor has never been absent from the court for a long time. More importantly, Wang Chong clearly remembered that even according to his memory, the Holy Emperor's absence from court only lasted for a very short period of time in the early days.

"Very good!"

Seeing Wang Chong's reaction, everyone was excited.

Although I don't know where Wang Chong came from with such great confidence, Wang Chong's determination gave everyone great confidence. Moreover, everyone knows that Wang Chong's consistent words and deeds will never be without purpose. Since he has said this, he must be sure!

Only King Song looked at Wang Chong and frowned slightly.

Next, everyone discussed the matters in the court, and soon dispersed.

"Wang Chong, are you really sure that His Majesty will appear in the near future?"

When the ministers left, King Song deliberately slowed down and stayed behind.

On the side, Prince Li Heng also looked over. This was actually the doubt in his heart.

Although Li Heng was in the palace, it was difficult to see the Holy Emperor since that incident. Even he could not be sure that the Holy Emperor would appear in the court soon.

"This matter is a long story, but if there is no accident, His Majesty should go to court in the next few days. Also, if that happens, Lord Zhangqiu, please send someone to inform me in time."

In the first sentence, Wang Chong still said it to King Song, but in the latter sentence, he looked at Zhangchou Jianqiong on the right.

The two already had a friendship during the Southwest War, and their relationship became even closer as they fought side by side in the battle against Dashi.

"Um."

Zhangchou Jianqiong nodded. In this situation, he was at a loss as to what to do. On the contrary, Wang Chong could always give everyone hope and had become the empire's anchor.

"Also, Your Highness, can you contact Eunuch Gao? There are some things I want to ask Eunuch Gao in person."

As soon as Wang Chong's voice fell, he paused and looked at the prince beside him.

The recent behavior of the Holy Emperor is really too abnormal. As an outsider, I don’t know the inside story, so I can only make random guesses. But if there is someone in the entire Tang Empire who is familiar with all the inside stories and can give an explanation, I’m afraid There is only one Eunuch Gao.

As a veteran and retainer of the Holy Emperor, Eunuch Gao had been with the Holy Emperor since he was a teenager. And as the most loyal eunuch of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Chong believed that he should be more concerned about the current situation of the Holy Emperor than himself.

"Buzz!"

Wang Chong just asked, but Prince Li Heng was shocked and his expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to Eunuch Gao?"

Wang Chong looked at the words and said, his heart beating suddenly.

"This... I actually wanted to find Eunuch Gao to find out what was going on, but I found that Eunuch Gao couldn't be found at all."

Prince Li Heng said with a bitter smile.

"What?!"

Hearing these words, Wang Chong's expression suddenly changed.

Eunuch Gao is the general manager of the palace and oversees all the eunuchs and maids inside and outside the palace. Moreover, Eunuch Gao is loyal to the Holy Emperor and never leaves his side. How could Eunuch Gao not be found?

At that moment, there was deathly silence in the hall. Except for Zhangchou Jianqiong, who looked as shocked as himself, King Song and Prince Li Heng had calm faces. Obviously, King Song might have known about this matter for a long time.

"After the East Palace incident, I actually started looking for Eunuch Gao, because when that incident happened, I found that the person following my father was not Eunuch Gao, but a eunuch I had never seen before. Knowing that the East Palace is not an ordinary place, when my father comes to the East Palace, he will never bring anyone other than Eunuch Gao with him."

"At that time, I just thought that my father had temporarily assigned Gao Lishi other tasks, but then I felt something was wrong. Eunuch Gao neither left the palace nor was with the Holy Emperor. He was nowhere to be found in the entire palace. figure."

When Prince Li Heng said the last words, his brows were furrowed and full of sorrow.

"But this is not what I am most worried about. In the process of looking for Eunuch Gao, I found that the people around my father have completely changed. I have never thought about this situation, and I dare not speculate!"

There was a dead silence in the main hall, the atmosphere was depressing, even Zhangchou Jianqiong looked solemn at this moment.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Prince Li Heng had gone out of his way to leave the palace. I also understood why Wang Chong deliberately kept the prince at the end.

It seemed that Wang Chong had already noticed something in this meeting, and deliberately left it until this moment to ask questions.

Eunuch Gao disappeared, and the people around the Holy Emperor suddenly changed. This is definitely not a trivial matter. If word spreads, it will probably cause an uproar in the court!

There was silence in the main hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange. If this incident had happened before the Three Kings Rebellion, everyone would have thought that the eldest prince had done something and initiated the palace rebellion at this moment. However, now that the three kings have decided, Prince Li Heng Ye is definitely not the kind of person with ulterior motives and ulterior motives, but this is what makes him more puzzling.

"Your Highness!"

Wang Chong turned his head and subconsciously looked at King Song aside. Someone said that King Song had been in contact with the Holy Emperor for the longest time and had the most seniority. Besides the Crown Prince, King Song should be the first to deal with matters in the palace. One who knows.

As the king and his ministers knew each other, Wang Chong wanted to hear King Song's opinion on this matter.

"Eunuch Gao should be fine now!"

King Song understood what Wang Chong meant, and after pondering for a moment, he finally spoke.

The abnormality of the Holy Emperor is a recent thing, and Eunuch Gao is very powerful. If something really happened in the palace, there would be no movement at all, and there has been no major turmoil in the palace so far.

"The draft and the massive construction of palaces have not had much impact on the national constitution. From this point of view, I judge that Eunuch Gao is still safe and sound!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Chong and Zhangchou Jianqiong frowned. If Gao Lishi was safe but not with the Holy Emperor, this would make people more uneasy and confused than if something happened to Gao Lishi.
