Chapter 1968 Summoning the “Holy”!

"Presumptuous, bastard, so brave."

Upon hearing this, the "Holy Emperor"'s face was distorted and furious!

"Come here, tell me my order, capture that bastard, put him in jail, and execute him on a certain day!"

When he said these words, the "Holy Emperor" was full of anger.

"ah?"

Hearing these words, the "Holy Emperor" himself didn't realize anything, but the palace maid next to him turned pale with fright, and Zhao Changfu also changed his face and almost sat down on the ground.

"Why, I am the lord of the world and the king of all peoples, why can't I still execute a disobedient minister who violates my will?"

The "Holy Emperor" immediately realized what was happening and asked angrily.

"This... foreign king is the protector of the Nine Provinces, the general who protects the country, a celebrity of Lingyan Pavilion, and your protégé of the emperor!"

Zhao Changfu was completely frightened.

Nowadays, he is absolutely well-deserved in the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty. He is a red and purple upstart. Even the ministers of the Ministry of official affairs, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, and the court officials will give in to him when they see him.

However, no matter how arrogant Zhao Changfu is, he knows that no matter how powerful he is, he is still far from being a powerful figure in the empire like Wang Chong, the foreign king.

"...Furthermore, Your Majesty, the king of the foreign land has made great contributions to the court, and if he is to be executed like this, I am afraid that the people both inside and outside the court, including the people of Kyushu, will not accept it!"

Zhao Changfu said in a trembling voice, cold sweat running down his back.

This was not because Zhao Changfu wanted to speak for Wang Chong. In fact, his original intention was to use the "Holy Emperor" to deal with Wang Chong.

But execution, no matter how bold Zhao Changfu is, he would not dare to have such an idea.

In the Battle of the Northwest, Wang Chong was the real hero of the Tang Dynasty, a well-deserved leader of both the civil and military circles, and he was also from a family of generals and ministers, with students all over the world.

Moreover, when Wang Chong returned in triumph, Zhao Changfu also mingled with the crowd and saw with his own eyes how popular Wang Chong was. More than 90% of the people in the entire capital went to greet him, and the remaining 10% also looked around to greet him. .

If it was rumored that this incident was caused by him, the people in the capital would probably eat him up without Wang Chong taking action.

Zhao Changfu was still thinking about fame and wealth, but he did not want to offend a powerful figure like Wang Chong at this time, and it was not realistic at all to use the Taiping Tower incident to kill Wang Chong.

Seeing Zhao Changfu's reaction, the "Holy Emperor" was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, he seemed to remember.

But soon, the "Holy Emperor" became angry again.

"Pass it to me and let that bastard attend the morning court tomorrow. I want to see how many heads he has grown to fight against me and rob me of my things!"

"Holy Emperor"'s tone was extremely sinister.

"yes."

Your Highness, Zhao Changfu responded quickly.

Time passed slowly, and shortly after Zhao Changfu walked out of the palace, several figures at the corner watched him silently, watching him leave.

"Let's go and report back to the prince quickly!"

Several people quickly turned around, blended into the crowd silently, and walked away along the alleyway. After a while, these people did not go to the foreign palace, but turned around and entered the Song Palace.

At this time, in the main hall of Prince Song's Mansion, there was a sandalwood table and two grand master's chairs. Wang Chong and Prince Song were sitting there, one on the left and the other on the right.

There is a teapot and several porcelain cups placed in the middle, and the aroma is rising.

"Wang Chong, have you really thought about it?"

King Song sat there, looking sideways at Wang Chong, his eyes full of worry.

Wang Chong did not speak, but nodded slightly, with a firm expression without any hesitation.

"But, in this case, you will transfer all the anger of the 'Holy Emperor' to yourself, which will be too detrimental to you!"

King Song said with a worried look.

"Five censors have been banished from the capital, and many other officials have also been demoted. Now, no one in the entire court except me can resist. Moreover, I have a death-free coupon given by the emperor, and the emperor Dragon Mace is the hero of Lingyan Pavilion... As long as it is not for rebellion, no one can kill me. No one else can do this."

Wang Chong said calmly.

"Furthermore, everyone else will be affected. Only I can't be sealed. Taking away some honors will be a good thing for me!"

King Song was silent, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to persuade.

Indeed, the Wang family was originally a family of generals and prime ministers, a wealthy family, and coupled with Wang Chong's great contributions, he was simply a very human minister. As Wang Chong said, there is no reward and no title. If Wang Chong If I try to make a contribution next time, I'm afraid the staff and the cabinet won't know what to do.

"Moreover, five censors were demoted, eight civil servants were relegated, and three generals were deprived of their official titles, all just because they did not obey the 'Holy Emperor'. At this time, someone must stand up, Take charge of the overall situation, stabilize the morale of the military, and stop all this. Otherwise, I worry that the future may not be as simple as the minister being demoted."

Wang Chong said calmly.

The "Holy Emperor" has only been in power for more than ten years. Not only has he demoted more than a dozen important officials, but he has also promoted more than forty new officials at various levels inside and outside the palace. His credit is flattery. As well as the relatives of a certain palace maid and beautiful lady who was favored by the "Holy Emperor".

"That one" in the palace is completely nepotistic. The "meritocracy" passed down from generation to generation in the Middle-earth China has been completely abandoned.

The opinions of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs were also completely discarded!

This situation is absolutely not allowed.

King Song was silent, and he didn't know what Wang Chong was talking about. Just in this way, Wang Chong completely placed himself in this whirlpool.

"Report!"

It was too late, but it was too soon. Just as the two were talking, suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside. In the blink of an eye, a member of the Wind Team under Wang Chong hurriedly walked in, and quickly Attracted the attention of both men.

"Your Majesty, King Song, we just received news that Zhao Changfu has met the 'Holy Emperor' in Taiji Hall and left the palace!"

The member of the Wind Group lowered his head, cupped his hands, and knelt down on one knee before His Highness.

For a moment, the hall was silent. Wang Chong and King Song looked at each other with subtle expressions.

"It has already begun. Zhao Changfu has already reported to the Holy Emperor about your logging in Lingnan. I believe that the Holy Emperor will summon you to the court soon."

King Song said.

"Haha, Your Highness, don't worry, I have my own concerns."

Wang Chong just smiled and didn't take it seriously:

"In addition, there is no turning back. Now that you have started, there is no way out. If you contact the Ministry of Personnel, the issuance of all documents for officials to be demoted will be delayed. The documents for newly promoted officials will also be delayed, and the production of all official uniforms will also be delayed. , three months, try to delay it to one year.”

"I have also contacted the officials in the court. Not only the Taiping Tower, but also the draft, including those officials who flattered and received rewards, as well as the loyal officials of the Tang Dynasty who were demoted, all need to be changed, so that they can do their best and find a way. Procrastination, if something goes wrong, blame it all on me, and just say that you don’t know anything.”

"well!"

King Song raised his head and let out a long sigh, with a complicated look on his face.

Personally, he is absolutely opposed to this idea, but the reality is that besides Wang Chong, there is probably no other way.

"I can only do as you say."

Wang Chong stood up and left quickly.

And not long after he left, with a flutter of wings, a letter filled with the anger of the "Holy Emperor" quickly flew into the palace of the foreign king.

"boom!"

Just a moment later, Wang Chong was logging in Lingnan and took away the Taiping Tower wood. The news that the "Holy Emperor" was furious spread in the capital, causing a sensation throughout the capital.

…

No matter what the outside world thought, when the morning came the next day, Wang Chong looked as usual.

"Hongxiu, look at the collar for me. Is it appropriate?"

In the main hall, before going to court, Wang Chong, wearing a golden python robe and a thin jade belt, felt refreshed and asked.

"yes."

Beside him, a pretty maid quickly walked up behind Wang Chong, serving him with a smile on her lips.

"Your Majesty, everything is going crazy outside now. I'm glad you can still be so calm and composed."

This maid was a maid recruited by Wang Chong after he opened the palace. She has been in the palace for more than half a year. Because of her dexterity and eloquence, she was recruited by Wang Chong. She is usually responsible for Wang Chong's dressing. .

In addition, Wang Chong gave her a name called "Red Sleeve".

Hongxiu looked at the upright man in front of her. Although she knew in her heart that this matter was not trivial, she knew deeply that with the prince's wisdom, there must be a way to deal with the situation in front of him.

"The more critical the situation is, the more calm you have to be. Worrying can't solve any problem."

Wang Chong said calmly.

Wang Chong said these words lightly, but he had a confident and calm demeanor all over his body, making him look extremely dazzling.

The little maid next to her looked dazed, a little stunned, but she quickly lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and started to fiddle with Wang Chong's clothes.

Wang Chong didn't pay so much attention. After a moment, Wang Chong walked out of the mansion and quickly boarded a bronze carriage and headed towards the palace.

Both sides of the street were densely packed. Although it was not yet time for the morning court, but knowing that Wang Chong was going to the court, countless people had already heard the news and gathered on both sides of the street early. Some were worried, some were anxious, and some were full of concern.

But regardless of gender, old or young, one thing is certain, Wang Chong is absolutely supported by everyone in the entire capital.

The carriage drove into the palace gate and soon arrived in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, you are here!"

…

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, unlike before, a group of civil and military ministers all gathered together and did not enter the hall, as if they were waiting for something.

When Wang Chong appeared, a group of people immediately came over to greet him, with respectful eyes and a hint of hope, as if they had found a backbone.

Now that the court is in turmoil, it is extremely important for the entire court for Wang Chong to step forward at this time.
