Chapter 648 Audience (2)
Chapter 648
"The Holy Emperor has an order to pass on to Wang Chong for an audience!"
Suddenly, a sharp voice like a duck's voice came from the palace gate, boom, the gate opened, banners were fluttering, and rows of guards in the feather forest, wearing red tasseled armor and sharp armor, lined up from the gate of the palace. To the depths of the palace.
Wang Chong took a look, but he couldn't see the end at a glance.
Crack, the whip sounded, and a white-haired eunuch in brocade clothes stood far above the tall white jade danji, making a shrill sound.
"Xuan, see Wang Chong!"
A series of echoes spread from the gate of the palace to the depths of the palace, and it lasted for a long time.
Wang Chong straightened his scarlet dress and hat, took a step forward, and walked forward between the two rows of Yulin guards. His steps are very slow, each step is neither wide nor narrow, his expression is neither hasty nor impatient, his waist is straight, and he walks forward step by step calmly.
Whether it was his expression, demeanor, or behavior, Wang Chong at this time was impeccable.
"This kid... obviously someone pointed him out."
Out of sight of Wang Chong, several officials of Honglu Temple were wearing red gowns, standing on the high palace wall, their eyes twitching endlessly.
Ever since Wang Chong left the house, some of them had been staring at him. In private, there were even shadow masters describing his every move, expression and behavior.
It's a pity that regardless of whether there are people around, Wang Chong's behavior is impeccable, and he can't find any faults. It would be really strange if no one pointed it out.
"Don't worry, he will definitely have problems at the last level, everything has been arranged."
Another Honglu Temple official next to him sneered, while talking, he turned his head and looked at the end of the Taiji Palace in the distance.
In the imperial palace, Wang Chong walked along the passage surrounded by two rows of Yulin guards. After half an hour, Wang Chong finally reached the Panlong Pond at the end.
Turning his head, what appeared in front of Wang Chong was a long, thousands-level, horse-like white jade pill. On both sides of the pill were Jinwu guards wearing golden heavy armor, each with a strong aura. Incomparable.
Their palms were pressed on the golden sabers at their waists, and their eyes were fixed on the front, as if they were about to strike at any moment, cutting the person in front of them in half.
The Jinwu Guards are elites selected from thousands of people in the palace, and they are extremely powerful in spirit and momentum. If they are not strong-willed, they will be easily intimidated by the situation in front of them.
Wang Chong glanced at it, just smiled, and immediately went up the stairs, walking along the middle of the two rows of Jinwu guards, towards the Baiyu Danchi above.
Wang Chong had experienced the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the southwest, and he had been trained in cruel wars. Not only did these Jinwu guards have no influence on him, but they were affected by his faint aura, and he was faintly unable to hold the gold in his hands. knife.
Going up along the Baiyudan, every few hundred steps, there is a platform more than 20 feet long, going up one level at a time, and it is full of civil and military ministers watching the ceremony. The official ranks are arranged from low to high. .
All of them looked extremely solemn.
"Is this the unicorn from the Wang family?"
On the viewing platform, officials in big red robes looked over one after another. Wang Chong's name was already known to many people during the Jiedushi incident, but this was the first time they actually saw it.
"Wouldn't mind being able to defeat Daqin Ruozan and Huoshu Guizang, they are indeed dragons and phoenixes among men. Just with this heart-wrenching spirit, it is not comparable to those nobles and dudes in Beijing."
Countless eyes watched Wang Chong coming from the stage. No matter whether they liked Wang Chong or not, everyone had to admit that Wang Chong's demeanor was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
"Chong'er, uncle is really happy for you."
In the crowd, Wang Gen stroked his beard and smiled, his expression extremely gratified. He set off early this morning, instead of going to the Wang family, he went directly to the palace to watch the ceremony.
It was a great honor for Wang Chong to return from victory and to be received by the Holy Emperor in the deep palace. He wanted to witness this scene in person.
Some people like it and some people hate it. From the height of Bai Yu Dan Chi, two hostile gazes have been watching Wang Chong who is slowly walking up the steps.
"Hmph, so it's you, don't be too happy."
On the high place of the viewing platform, General Tong Luo Absi stood there like a mountain, staring at the flame-like Wang Chong on the steps.
In his eyes, there was a faint blizzard brewing.
In the Great Tang Dynasty of China, although Abusi did not hold great power like Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi, and had a pivotal position as a side of the army, but as the world-famous leader of Tongluo Jingqi, Abusi still had an extraordinary position. weight.
At least in terms of martial arts, Albus is a veritable senior general, not inferior to Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi.
In the Jiedushi incident, Wang Chong wrote a memorial, pointing the finger at the barbarians all over the world. As a barbarian general, Abusi had to kneel down in front of all the courtiers in order to show his ambition.
A Busi's youngest son, A Budong, challenged Wang Chong, and was hanged by Wang Chong on the flagpole of Zhigeyuan, losing all face.
With these two things, how could Absi not hate Wang Chong in his heart.
Like Albus, he is full of hatred for Wang Chong, and he is far from the only one who regards him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. On the other viewing platform, Qi Wang Li Chengqi was wearing a red gold silk python robe, his eyes were extremely cold.
From the moment Wang Chong appeared in Bai Yudan, he had been staring at him fiercely. This was the first time King Qi really saw Wang Chong, but just once, it was enough to make King Qi hate Wang Chong to the bone.
King Qi and King Song, these are the two great clan relatives of the Tang Dynasty, and they are also the two major factions in the court. King Qi set up many means to deal with King Song, but they were all destroyed by Wang Chong and the Wang family.
Guanghe Tower counted once, and Concubine Taizhen counted once. Now in the Southwest War, Wang Chong shined again, defeating such powerful enemies as Daqin Ruozan and Huoshu Guizang. Uneasy.
If it weren't for Wang Chong's current limelight, his every move would be watched and magnified by countless people. King Qi would definitely do everything possible to put him to death at any cost.
"Boy, I will let you be proud for a while, but I will never let you be proud for too long."
King Qi said harshly in his heart.
No matter how everyone feels in their hearts, whether they like it or hate it, it doesn't make any sense to Wang Chong. Today, he is the absolute protagonist. The entire imperial palace, the entire capital, the entire world, and even the foreign kingdoms around the Tang Dynasty are all watching him.
Hundreds of steps passed by, and Wang Chong walked up the white jade steps, and soon reached the middle of the viewing platform. He glanced at the uncle on the viewing platform, and other ministers from the Song Dynasty. Wang Chong continued to walk calmly. go up.
"This should be Qi Wang Li Chengqi!"
When he passed by the middle-aged man in the big red gold silk python robe on the viewing platform, Wang Chong could clearly feel a sharp gaze staring at him. There was a kind of disdain in that gaze, but at the same time, it was full of a strong desire. Hostility, as if wishing to swallow himself alive.
As a member of the royal family, Wang Chong could only think of Li Chengqi, the king of Qi, who could wear that noble and gorgeous prince's dress and at the same time be so unscrupulous on the viewing platform.
Although because of King Song's relationship, the Wang family and King Qi's lineage can be regarded as a "world feud" to some extent, regardless of past life or present life, this is the first time for Wang Chong to watch this famous Tang Dynasty figure at such a close distance. His Royal Highness King Qi.
However, even under the gaze of this prominent royal family member, Wang Chong walked over calmly and calmly, step by step.
"asshole!"
Seeing that Wang Chong was ignoring him, King Qi couldn't help being furious. He was furious, and the killing intent in his heart became even stronger.
Passing by all kinds of hostile eyes all the way, including General Luo Albus, those from King Qi’s lineage, and various censors... Wang Chong quickly passed them by, step by step slowly. Slowly walked to the position close to the top of Baiyu Danchi, and a few steps away from Baiyu Danchi, several officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple in red dresses lined up, waiting silently there.
"Wang Chong, step forward and listen to the order!"
Among them, one of the officials of the Ministry of Rites with a red dress and a gold border spread out a piece of the imperial decree of the real dragon and sang loudly. On the left and right sides, no one noticed that two officials from Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rituals looked down at Wang Chong, and a cold light flashed in their eyes.
"The humble minister leads the decree!"
Wang Chong straightened his robes, stepped forward, and saluted respectfully.
"Wang Chong, kneel down and receive the order."
Beside, an official from Honglu Temple said.
Wang Chong nodded. Unlike the last time he was summoned by the Holy Emperor in the side hall, there were many etiquettes for this kind of formal audience for accepting awards, especially for "common people" who had no fame or official rank.
During the entire audience process, there were at least two or three imperial edicts. And in the process of receiving the imperial decree, it is necessary to kneel down and salute.
On this point, the senior official arranged by King Song has already made it clear that once he violates it, he will be suspected of despising Tianwei, and he will be charged with disrespect. At the slightest, his official career will be ruined, and at the worst, his family will be wiped out. .
Wang Chong will never forget such things.
Swish!
As soon as Wang Chong's bright red robe was swung around, he was about to kneel down. In an instant, several pairs of imperceptible eyes fell on Wang Chong. Even at the bottom, King Qi, who was standing on the white jade ridge behind to observe the ceremony, had a smug and mocking gleam in his eyes.
What about the nine sons and heirs?
What about the great hero of the Southwest?
It's not that he was young and frivolous, with little experience, and a little trick, and easily fell into his trap.
"It's still too young after all!"
King Qi looked at Wang Chong's back on the white jade steps above, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a disdainful smile. "When the moon is full, it is lacking." Even if he is a young genius, so what if he defeated Daqin Ruozan and Huoshu Guizang?
When the day when the Holy Emperor bestows rewards, it will also be the time when he falls and will never be taken seriously!
But at this moment, none of the ministers of civil and military affairs who were watching the ceremony had found a single one.
Time seemed to slow down countless times at this moment, seeing Wang Chong was about to kneel down
"wrong!"
Suddenly, a strange feeling came to his heart. Although he couldn't see anything in front of him and everything was as usual, Wang Chong felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. Before he knew it, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly felt a little subtle. Variety.
"has a problem!"
Although I still can't feel where it is, Wang Chong's intuition is very certain that there must be something wrong in the audience ceremony.
