Chapter 466 The Angry Capital!
Chapter 465
"clatter!"
The footsteps swayed lightly, echoing step by step along the steps in the dark dungeon. Just when the eagle was auctioning off the spiritual veins outside, causing a wave of turmoil, Wang Chong in the dark dungeon also welcomed a visitor.
Dressed in white like snow, with an indifferent expression and the Honglu Temple logo on his body, he was an old acquaintance of Wang Chong.
"Wang Chong, what are you doing?"
Zheng Chenzhou paced slowly, walked to the fence, and looked at Wang Chong who was sitting cross-legged on the ground through the steel fence grid.
"Won't Mr. Zheng help the Hu people to suppress the Han people?"
Without raising his head, Wang Chong said in a calm voice.
Hearing Wang Chong's sarcasm, Zheng Chenzhou's face flushed with anger:
"Wang Chong! Don't be too complacent! Do you think you can still go out? The Wang family is powerful, but they still can't control our Honglu Temple!"
"I never said that the Wang family can intervene here, isn't that what you said?"
Wang Chong said calmly.
"you!"
Zheng Chenzhou snorted angrily, and flicked his sleeves violently:
"Wang Chong, this is an opportunity you brought up yourself! In broad daylight, you dare to kill people in the imperial capital. Does your royal family still have any royal laws?"
Hearing this sentence, Wang Chong's eyes flickered for a moment, and for the first time he did not immediately refute.
"...Some things must be done. If you don't understand, I won't blame you. Later, you will know what you said today. "
"Hmph, murder pays for life, the state owns the state law, the family has family rules, the emperor breaks the law, and commits the same crime as the common people. Let me tell you, Wang Chong, no matter how powerful your royal family is, I will let you get out of prison this time!"
Zheng Chenzhou sternly said.
In the entire capital, Wang Chong was the number one person on the blacklist of the famous Honglu Temple. If there is one person in the entire capital that Honglu Temple hates to the bone, like a light on his back, then there is no doubt that it is Wang Chong!
But Wang Chong is not an ordinary child of aristocratic family,
He wasn't that reckless, so Honglu Temple had nothing to do with him for so long.
If you still can't seize the opportunity this time, it will be very difficult to get him in in the future.
Wang Chong remained silent and rarely continued.
"I hope that you can get what you want, but it's a pity that you can't lock me up."
Wang Chong said calmly, with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Hmph! Wang Chong, don't think that we don't know what you're doing outside. Let me tell you, even if your Wang family sells your spiritual veins, no matter how much money you get, it's still useless."
Zheng Chenzhou sneered.
"So, is it all about this?"
Wang Chong suddenly raised his head and said with a sneer, his gaze was like a torch.
Zheng Chenzhou's expression was suffocated, and he was speechless immediately.
"Hmph, I don't know what you're talking about."
Zheng Chenzhou said coldly, but his eyes turned aside unconsciously, not daring to make eye contact with Wang Chong.
"Heh, when did Honglu Temple pay so much attention to buying and selling things in the capital? Why, this time the eagle must sell a lot of spirit veins outside? Even Honglu Temple can't sit still. I specially sent you here to test I?"
Wang Chong smiled.
Although the smile was not a smile, but Wang Chong's gaze was sharp and deep, as if piercing people's hearts. Although Zheng Chenzhou was much older than Wang Chong, in front of this ten-year-old boy, he was actually seen with an embarrassing expression, as if naked, without Like any secret, it's very uncomfortable.
Of course, the fact that the eagle was selling spirit veins in the capital couldn't be hidden from Honglu Temple. Given the level of trouble Wang Chong is currently causing and the level of "threat" to Honglu Temple, how could Honglu Temple not "guard against death" and pay attention to him.
It can be said that any slight change of Wang Chong cannot be concealed from Honglu Temple!
With the status and power of Honglu Temple, it is unprecedented for a teenager to be so solemn.
However, considering the trouble Wang Chong caused to Honglu Temple, whether it was the Jiedushi incident before, or the Prince Uzang incident, or this time...
Up and down Honglu Temple, including Zheng Shenzhou, no one thinks this is a small mention. He has already made such a big mess when he was only a teenager. If it was bigger, it would be fine.
If there is no way to deal with Wang Chong, put him in prison, and solve this "problem", I don't know how much trouble he will cause in the future
"Hmph! Wang Chong, don't be complacent! Dali Temple and Honglu Temple are about to reach an agreement. When the time comes, I'll see how you can laugh!"
Zheng Chenzhou flicked his sleeves violently, and left angrily.
"Dali Temple and Honglu Temple..."
Wang Chong stared blankly at Zheng Chenzhou's back, and let out a long sigh for a long time.
No matter how Dali Temple and Honglu Temple plan to deal with him, these are not important anymore. Because a huge storm is about to sweep the entire empire.
"Boom!"
The news from Southwest came much faster than Wang Chong imagined. On the second day after Zheng Chenzhou left the cell, a piece of news shocked the entire empire:
Ge Luofeng, the lord of the Mengshezhao Empire in the southwest, led a team and personally attacked Taige City on the southwest border. Zhang Qiantuo, the prefect of Jiange, committed suicide, and the entire city was almost destroyed!
And this happened more than half a month ago, Ge Luofeng blocked the news, even the Annan Governor's Mansion, which is close at hand, didn't know.
It wasn't until Meng Shezhao's army withdrew that the business travelers who came and went discovered the tragedy.
When the news came out, the whole country was shaken, and everyone in the court was shocked and speechless.
boom!
A palm slapped heavily on the table, the palm was so red that it almost cracked the table.
"Bastard! Is Ge Luofeng crazy? How dare he, he dared to attack Datang's city!!"
The person who said this was not a member of the Ministry of War, but a censor in the court. Zhang Fei's beard and hair were all stretched out, and he was furious, looking extremely angry.
"Ridiculous! What did the Annan Governor's Mansion do? For so many years, the imperial court has no shortage of money and food, so they are allowed to do this kind of thing? The entire southwest, such a short distance, can't even break a city. Know!"
"Ge Luofeng is going to rebel! Datang has treated him well, yet he dares to avenge his kindness and attack Datang!"
"Send troops immediately to destroy Geluofeng!"
"The people of Meng Shezhao are too presumptuous!"
...
Regardless of civil servants, military officials, including the household department, the official department, and some yamen that usually have nothing to do with the military, everyone was angered by Ge Luofeng.
Some officials of the Ministry of War even directly petitioned in the court.
"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs." The Tang Dynasty was founded nearly three hundred years ago, surrounded by great powers, and wars like this have been fought over and over again. It is not unheard of in the past.
Andong Protector's Mansion, Anxi Protector's Mansion, Longxi, and Beiting...all happened. But this time things were of a completely different nature.
It's happened before, but never on this scale. Furthermore, it never happened that an existence of Ge Luofeng's level personally attacked the border of Datang!
The southwest frontier has been peaceful for decades, and Datang and Meng Shezhao have been living in peace. And unlike other great powers around, Datang provided a lot of help to Mengshezhao.
The writing, language, culture, and court of the two countries are exactly the same.
If Datang is a teacher, then Meng Shezhao is a student. But this time, the students rebelled against the teacher, broke through the city of Datang, and even caused the death of a Datang prefect.
This made everyone feel betrayed!
