Chapter 1969 The "Holy Emperor" Attacks!

However, while they were happy, everyone was also slightly worried.

Everyone knew Wang Chong's true purpose of cutting down those huge logs in Lingnan, but judging from the Holy Emperor's attitude, he was extremely angry. That's why Wang Chong was summoned to the palace today.

"The official will not be punished, and the censor will not be punished for his words." This is the rule of the imperial court. Before several censors wrote this letter, they never thought that the Holy Emperor would really dismiss them from office.

The current Holy Emperor is no longer the Holy Emperor that everyone remembers. No one knows what ridiculous things he will do when he is angry.

"Wang Chong!"

At this time, an old voice suddenly came from the crowd. Upon hearing this voice, the crowd automatically separated in an instant. At the same time, Wang Chong also raised his head and followed the sound.

Following the sound of official boots, an old figure was seen walking up from the back of the crowd. The man had a stern face and a majestic expression. He exuded an aura of power and stood out among the crowd.

Old teacher!

Seeing that figure, Wang Chong raised his eyebrows and was greatly surprised. The person who suddenly walked towards him was none other than the old master Zhan Zhongmi, who had had several conflicts with him!

The relationship between Wang Chong and him had never been very good, and he did not expect that the old master would actually come to him this time.

Wang Chong frowned slightly and said nothing. Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. Wang Chong also didn't know what the old master's purpose was in coming to see him at this time.

"Boy, I have never liked you, nor do you like your Wang family, but what happened this time has made me look at you with admiration. No matter what you have been like in the past, and no matter what I think of you in the past, this time, you You are worthy of being an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, I will call you my prince!"

The old master said in a deep voice and stopped a few steps in front of Wang Chong.

"!!!"

Wang Chong was greatly surprised when he heard these words, but he soon understood.

The old teacher has a high position and is a veteran of several dynasties. He is unwilling to bow to others easily. But this time, because of the relationship between the Holy Emperor, he actually bowed to himself. However, with his character, he cannot be said to be submissive to others. Just say it.

"Old Master, your words are serious!"

Wang Chongcheng said, while speaking, he bowed and saluted.

The Holy Emperor's matters were official matters, not private matters. The old master had a stubborn personality, and he could admit defeat to himself in front of the ministers because of official matters. This alone made Wang Chong's view of him greatly change.

At least, to some extent, Mrs. Zhan is still a respectable person.

"well!"

Looking at Wang Chong in front of him, the old teacher was filled with emotion.

He was a veteran of the Three Dynasties. This time, because of the Holy Emperor's affairs, he relied on his seniority and went to the harem several times with the Taifu to ask for an audience with the Holy Emperor. However, they were all turned away, including Qianmen, Zhongmen and Kun. I can't even step through the door, let alone enter the Tai Chi Hall.

This kind of situation has never happened in the old master's life, not even the late emperor had treated him like this.

Not only that, after being rejected from the harem one after another, the old master turned to the court to persuade the Holy Emperor. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, the Holy Emperor became impatient in every possible way and interrupted him rudely, like The old master had never even thought about such a thing.

This series of encounters simply made the old master feel disheartened.

"Wang Chong, we are already old, but now the imperial court is in turmoil and it is a troubled time. The country of the Tang Dynasty, the China of China, and hundreds of millions of people can only rely on you in the future!"

The old teacher sighed with emotion.

Wang Chong looked stunned. In his impression, the old master had always been aloof and stubborn. Wang Chong had never seen such a depressed and defeated look in him.

"clang!"

While they were talking, suddenly, a clear chime sound sounded, and in an instant, everyone, including Wang Chong, looked in the direction of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The party is finally about to begin!

However, a sigh came from beside him. Without saying a word, the old master flicked his sleeves and left the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the eyes of everyone, heading towards the distance. Soon, he disappeared into the distance. .

"Hundred officials enter the palace!"

In front of the main hall, the quiet whip sounded, and it was time for the court meeting to begin.

Wang Chong suppressed his thoughts and entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony with all the officials.

Entering the main hall, hundreds of civil and military officials lined up and lined up, and just a moment later, the court meeting officially began.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Amidst the shrill and harsh voices of the eunuchs, above the main hall, surrounded by a group of guards and maids, the "Holy Emperor" walked in quickly, and sat on the throne above that represented the supreme power of the Nine Provinces of Middle-earth. Sat down.

The same person, the same reliance, everything, seemed no different from before, but in Wang Chong's eyes, earth-shaking changes had already taken place.

Wang Chong knew very well that the person standing in front of him in the court was probably no longer the wise and mighty Holy Emperor, but the "San Zi Xuan" who had been suppressed for more than thirty years.

Although he tried his best to imitate the appearance of the Holy Emperor, there were some things about his temperament that could not be imitated no matter what.

At this moment, Wang Chong was filled with emotion.

"Even Eunuch Gao...is indeed gone."

Wang Chong swept around the Holy Emperor. Eunuch Gao, who had been with the Holy Emperor for decades and was always regarded as a confidant and never left his side, disappeared as expected.

Although Wang Chong had already received the news and had expected it, he still had an unspeakable feeling in his heart when he saw this scene.

While Wang Chong was sizing up the "Holy Emperor", another pair of eyes in the main hall were also looking at Wang Chong.

"Bastard thing!"

At this moment, the "Holy Emperor" was simply furious. It could be said that this court meeting was held just for Wang Chong.

The king is the guide for the ministers, and the king is heaven. He is the object to which all people in the world and all ministers must submit. Therefore, if the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die.

But now, he wanted to build the Taiping Tower, and Wang Chong actually took out all the money and helped him cut down all the wood.

Although it does not mean that there will be no wood left in Lingnan, firstly, the grade and fire temperature of other wood may not meet the requirements of fortifications. Secondly, even if there is, most of it is far away, basically high mountains and rivers, and it is more difficult to transport than in Lingnan. There will be a lot of trouble and the construction period will be greatly delayed.

But the most dissatisfied thing was Wang Chong's attitude. No minister had ever done such an outrageous thing.

How did those important ministers with great achievements and great achievements die? Do you really think that he can't kill him because he has made great achievements?

In this world, no one can disobey him!

"The Holy Emperor has a decree. If anything happens, he will declare it early. If nothing happens, he will withdraw from the court!"

At this time, a high voice sounded in the main hall, and the court meeting was convened soon.

"Wang Chong, you are so brave, you dare to cut down my trees!"

Before the other ministers could speak, the Holy Emperor above him could no longer hold himself back and attacked first, his voice extremely angry.

After hearing these words, everyone was startled. The court meeting was mainly about government affairs. It was a place to discuss and deal with government affairs. No one expected that the court meeting had just begun. Before the government affairs started, the Holy Emperor could not hold himself back. He took the initiative to attack Wang Chong.

"Your Majesty, the foreign king..."

In the train, an official subconsciously walked out and wanted to help Wang Chong.

"shut up!"

"Holy Emperor" Lei Lei was furious and glared at the civil servant. The latter looked suffocated and retracted his original steps.

The entire hall was silent. No one thought that they were just speaking normally. They wanted to say a few words for Wang Chong, but they had already made the "Holy Emperor" furious.

If the dispute continues, a few more people may be demoted. In the past, everyone would definitely argue with each other, but now, once the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are demoted and some unlearned and unskilled people are allowed to enter the court, who will handle the affairs of the world?

Will it not be the common people who will suffer by then?

This was something everyone had discussed before, and no matter what, it could not be affected by a temporary mood that would affect the operation of government affairs.

"Wang Chong! I'm asking you! Now that you are relying on military merit, do you think I don't even care about you?"

"Holy Emperor" said in a cold voice.

The atmosphere in the main hall was extremely tense, and everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Chong, with expressions full of worry.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing this. I am just following your orders by cutting down the logs in Lingnan."

At this time, Wang Chong straightened his sleeves and walked out of the train, speaking slowly and unhurriedly.

Hearing Wang Chong's words, the surrounding civil and military ministers were stunned, and the Holy Emperor in the main hall was even more furious.

"Bastard! Do you mean that I asked you to chop it down?"

At this moment, the Holy Emperor's gaze was almost murderous. Obviously, if Wang Chong could not give a satisfactory answer, even if the civil and military ministers blocked him, Wang Chong would never end well.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you promised me to build a navy, and everything else, including the things needed for construction, will be done by me at my own convenience."

Wang Chong continued.

"How dare you deceive me? When did I ever say such a thing!"

The Holy Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, with a terrifying expression.

When did he say such a thing, and how could he ask Wang Chong to cut down the wood he needed to build the Taiping Tower? Moreover, Wang Chong had never been to court during this period, so how could he agree to this? Lie to his face.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense, and all the civil servants and generals were worried. If this continues, if Wang Chong cannot explain this matter well, even if Wang Chong has made great contributions, he will be stripped of his official position like several imperial officials. , demoted from the capital.

"Your Majesty..."

Nearest to Wang Chong, a minister lowered his voice and touched Wang Chong's clothes and shoes imperceptibly, hoping to make Wang Chong lower his posture, take the initiative to admit his mistakes, and ease the relationship with the "Holy Emperor".

However, Wang Chong seemed to be unaware of this.
