Chapter 1949 The Mysterious Jade Pendant!
"Grandpa, grandma, when I came back from Dashi this time, I brought some specialties from Dashi. There are some pearls and medicinal materials from Dashi. Grinding the pearls into powder and mixing them with those medicinal materials can prolong life and be good for the body. In addition, my grandson also I brought pineapples and durians, which are fruits that are not found in China, specially for grandpa and grandma to taste."
"In addition, my grandson also brought some golden ginseng from Goguryeo to his grandparents, as well as white bears and white foxes from the Arctic cold regions of the East and West Turkic Khanates. My grandson also ordered people to make a lot of clothes and blankets and brought them over. .”
Wang Chong bowed.
"Haha, good boy, you have a heart!"
The old lady was smiling from ear to ear.
At their age, they no longer care about any delicacies or treasures, but Wang Chong's intention is very rare.
On the other side, although Jiu Gong didn't say anything, he looked at Wang Chong with admiration.
Although he is in the Sifang Pavilion and has long ignored the government affairs, he knows all the news about Wang Chong clearly and has been paying attention to it.
"Yes, grandpa is not wrong about you! After experiencing these hardships, you have become more mature and stable now, and have become a minister of the Tang Dynasty."
The old man said.
Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Whether it is Wang Gen, Wang Yan, or Wang Chong, the old man has rarely intervened. Including Wang Chong, the old man knows the setbacks he suffered in the war between soldiers and Confucianism, and he also Not much to get involved.
The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. And Wang Chong did not disappoint him. After experiencing many hardships, Wang Chong seemed to be reborn, and finally became famous all over the world, becoming the king of foreign lands respected by everyone and the hero of the Tang Dynasty.
And he was canonized by the Tang Dynasty and consecrated to Lingyan Pavilion, becoming the first person in a century to achieve unprecedented achievements!
The entire Wang family has stepped to a new level because of him. From this aspect, the Wang family has completely surpassed the Yao family, leaving the Yao family's old man Yao Chong, Yao Guangyi and others far behind. .
Of course, what matters most to the old man is that Wang Chong did not disappoint him. He became a true loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, and did not disgrace the Wang family's family tradition.
"Thank you grandpa for the compliment. My grandson just did what he should do!"
Wang Chong said humbly.
Although he had gone through many battles, and even experienced such grand and prosperous times as the Marquisship, Kingship Ceremony and Lingyan Pavilion canonization, which attracted thousands of people's attention, none of them could compare to Grandpa's simple words of affirmation.
At this moment, Wang Chong felt relaxed, with some joy, some warmth, and some pride.
As a descendant of the general and prime minister who is known to the world as a descendant of Jiugong, he finally did not disgrace the Wang family's family tradition.
"sit down!"
Jiu Gong stretched out a finger and pointed in front of him. A Jinwu guard had already moved a stool and placed it there.
"You are now an important minister of the country, and every move you make attracts the attention of the world. The court relies on you, and the border areas also rely on you. Every move is of great importance. As the saying goes, a general will not leave lightly. When you come to Sifang Pavilion this time, you should have other things besides seeing grandpa. Let’s do it!”
After watching Wang Chong sit down in front of him, the old man's eyes were insightful and he spoke directly.
"My grandson has indeed encountered some difficulties recently."
Wang Chong was silent for a moment and then got straight to the point:
"recently,
There was a lot of turmoil in the court, and many things happened. My grandson thought about it for a long time, but still had no answer. He hoped to get some advice from his grandfather. "
The old man and the old lady looked at each other from one station to another, as if they had expected it.
From the moment Wang Chong appeared, the two of them knew that Wang Chong was here for something.
Wang Chong didn't think much about it. He pondered for a moment and recounted all the things that happened in the court today, including the East Palace Incident, the Taiping Tower Incident, the Draft Incident, the Back Hall Incident... as well as the various anomalies of the Holy Emperor before the Three Kings Rebellion, including himself. All the vague guesses in his mind were revealed.
During the whole process, the old man and the old lady listened attentively without anyone disturbing them. For a long time, when Wang Chong finished speaking, the whole room fell silent. The two elders looked deep in thought and did not speak for a long time.
"Has it come to this already?"
After a long time, the old man suddenly spoke.
"Buzz!"
Hearing these words, Wang Chong was shocked and looked up sharply.
This time when he went to the Sifang Pavilion to visit his grandfather, Wang Chong was just trying his luck and didn't really expect to get any answers. But as soon as Grandpa said these words, his demeanor, tone, and meaning made Wang Chong immediately feel that this time, he was definitely not wrong.
Grandpa seems to really know a lot of inside information!
"Grandpa, this matter is of great importance. Now all the civil and military officials of the dynasty are paying attention. Moreover, the Holy Emperor's personality has changed dramatically, which has also aroused a lot of speculation."
Wang Chong said in a deep voice.
"Chong'er, you are an important minister of the country now. You should know the king's affairs and not make any assumptions. Since the Holy Emperor and Eunuch Gao don't say anything about some things, there are naturally reasons and reasons that cannot be said, and there are also things that have to be done. difficulties."
"Moreover, compared to what you are looking for now, as a minister, you should stabilize the foundation of the country and protect the safety of all people in the world! As long as other things do not endanger the foundation of the country, you don't need to care too much."
The old man said.
Wang Chong was shocked when he heard this. He had never expected that after telling his grandfather everything, his grandfather actually told him not to interfere.
This is definitely not a normal reaction!
Grandpa and the Holy Emperor have known each other for decades, and their relationship is known to the world. Under normal circumstances, after learning these things about the Holy Emperor from his own mouth, Grandpa should pay attention to the Holy Emperor's situation and worry about his comfort. Instead of advising yourself, ministers should put the stability of the country first and don't investigate this matter.
"Qiqin is right. Grandpa, like Eunuch Gao, knows the inside story."
Wang Chong's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately instinctively felt something subtle.
At that moment, an indescribable feeling came over me.
Wang Chong really couldn't imagine what was going on that made both Gao Lishi and his grandfather know the truth, but they remained silent, turned a blind eye, and kept secrets about the changes in the Holy Emperor.
Moreover, it was fine for Gao Lishi not to tell him, but why was his grandfather unwilling to tell him even though he knew everything?
And now there are no outsiders, only people from the Wang family are present. In other words, the matter is so important that even my grandson cannot talk about it.
At this moment, Wang Chong felt that his eyes were becoming more and more confusing.
His mind went up and down, and in an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
In this world, even Eunuch Gao and Grandpa, who know the inside story, can't tell. Who else can know the truth?
If the situation in Datang is really as serious and worsening as I and Qiqin analyzed, how should we deal with it then?
Do we really want to sit back and watch things develop to that point?
"Grandpa, it is not a matter of the country and the people of the world, nor is it that my grandson insists on interfering, but the matter has become very serious. Your Majesty is the emperor of the ages who is respected by all the people of the world and respected by everyone. I believe that, whether it is you or My grandchildren all respect the Holy Emperor very much."
"But now, because of the Holy Emperor's series of actions, it has caused great criticism among the government and the public. Moreover, the reaction of the imperial censors has been very fierce, and some people have even called His Majesty the 'Faint King' in private!"
Wang Chong said.
"Buzz!"
In the previous few sentences, the old man's expression had not changed much, but when he heard the word "faint king", the old man's eyes blinked and his expression suddenly changed.
"Absurd! Your Majesty worked hard and worked hard to govern. It was only because of the Holy Emperor that the Tang Dynasty was in the situation it is today. When did your Majesty even become a coward?!"
The old man couldn't bear it any longer, and a rare look of anger appeared on his face.
"Old man, calm down, this kid is just talking."
The old lady on the side quickly supported Jiu Gong and comforted him.
"Grandpa, of course it won't happen now. Even if it does, it will only be a few people and not enough to represent all the people in the world. But if you do nothing and continue to let it go, my grandson is worried that one day, these will become a reality."
"Grandpa, my grandson, like you, wants to protect the reputation of the Holy Emperor and let His Majesty start well and end well!"
Wang Chong said in a deep voice.
No one understands the future development of events better than Wang Chong.
According to the memory of his previous life, the Holy Emperor indulged in pleasure, indulged in women, and did a series of ridiculous things, which soon aroused criticism from all over the world and truly earned the reputation of a "faint king".
If it were before, it would have been fine. He was just a piece of duckweed drifting with the tide, but now, Wang Chong went deep into it and truly immersed himself in this maelstrom.
Moreover, the more Wang Chong knew about the Holy Emperor, the less he wanted the Holy Emperor to go to that point.
This is also an important reason why Wang Chong has always wanted to investigate and has never given up.
Looking into Wang Chong's eyes, the old man seemed to feel something, and his heart was shaken.
"besides……"
Wang Chong pondered for a moment, and finally took out the Pisces jade pendant from his arms:
"When I was in the apse, the Holy Emperor gave me this jade pendant."
Wang Chong originally just gave it a try, but he didn't expect that when he took out the jade pendant, the old man and the old lady were shocked, and their expressions actually seemed to be more touching than what Wang Chong said before.
"well!"
The old man took the Pisces jade pendant from Wang Chong's hand and suddenly let out a long sigh. His expression was complicated and he looked completely different from before.
"I can't believe that His Majesty would actually pass on this jade pendant to you."
The old man's old fingers gently touched it, as if the Pisces jade pendant had some special meaning and significance.
Seeing this scene, Wang Chong was greatly surprised.
He originally thought that the jade pendant given to him by the Holy Emperor had some special ability, or that, like the white chess piece that Mr. Su Zhengchen passed to him in the square, it contained some extremely important information, but at this moment, Seeing his grandfather's reaction, Wang Chong immediately realized that this jade pendant might not be as simple as he imagined.
Judging from the old man's reaction, this jade pendant probably has an extremely long history, and it is very likely that it has some special meaning for the Holy Emperor, the old man, and Eunuch Gao.
If this is the case, why did the Holy Emperor pass it on to himself alone?
What secret does this jade pendant hide?
Wang Chong became more and more confused.
