Chapter 684 Changes in the Palace, Five Princes! (1)
Chapter six hundred and eighty four
The wind howled, and on the top of the mountain, Wang Chong and Wei An looked at each other, both of them saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Princess Dashi?"
Wang Chong came back to his senses, and frowned imperceptibly:
"Is it an order from King Qi? So, when they said you were not in the training camp, you actually went to see him?"
Wang Chong really didn't expect that Zhao Qianqiu found him for such a thing. The Great Food Empire is located west of the Western Regions, and is extremely far away from the Tang Dynasty. Wang Chong did not remember such a thing happening in his previous life.
However, after carefully reviewing it, I remember that there seems to be a princess from Dashi who visited Datang, but left soon, maybe only a few days before and after. Wang Chong has never seen her before, and he doesn't know what she looks like.
It never happened that a big food princess entered the training camp, and even specified her surname to join her Zhige Academy.
"It would be great if it was from King Qi's side!"
Zhao Qianqiu's voice came from the ear, revealing deep helplessness:
"The establishment of the three major training camps is His Majesty's intention. It is really the Qi King's intention. I just prevaricate with His Majesty's order. Even if Qi Wang gets angry, he will die if he is not too big. But the one who asked me for help is Honglu Temple! And it was an elder who helped me when I was down."
What is the hardest thing in this world to repay, human favor! What's more, it's when you are at your worst!
Moreover, the director of Honglu Temple and foreign diplomats are in charge of receiving these foreign missions, and Princess Dashi is indeed within the scope of their responsibility. Naturally, Honglu Temple would try its best to satisfy the request of the other party.
From this point of view, Honglu Temple is actually for the court and for the Tang Dynasty. For such a reason, the other party found him again, and it was difficult for Zhao Qianqiu to refuse.
"Wang Chong, it's fine if it's too embarrassing. It's a big deal. I'll explain to that senior when the time comes."
Zhao Qianqiu said.
"Difficult? Why do you feel embarrassed?"
Wang Chong glanced at Wei Anfang next to him, and laughed:
"It's rare that there is a Dashi princess who wants to enter our Zhigeyuan, why do you refuse. Besides, An Fang, you probably haven't seen the princess of Dashi before!"
"No!"
Wei Anfang smiled slightly,
There is not much fluctuation on the face:
"The big cannibal is completely different from us in appearance, with eagle nose and deep eyes, but the women there are extremely beautiful. The princess of the big cannibal should also be extremely beautiful."
Wei Anfang said so, but the expression in his eyes was completely opposite. He is now showing his prominence by Wang Chong's side, and he is gradually gaining attention in the family.
In comparison, he is only interested in one thing now, and that is to stay with Wang Chong to build greater achievements.
Zhao Qianqiu and Zhou Huang didn't expect Wang Chong to agree so readily, and both of them were overjoyed.
Prepared a table of good food and wine, guests and hosts, until sending Zhao Qianqiu and Zhou Huang away.
"My lord, do you really want to let Princess Dashi enter our Zhigeyuan?"
When Zhao Qianqiu left, Wei Anfang suddenly looked serious and said:
"Entering the Kunwu training camp is no problem, and we have nothing to do with the imperial court's arrangement. But why did the Dashi princess insist on entering our Zhigeyuan? The subordinates feel that those who come are not kind, and those who are kind will not come!"
"It's still too early to say anything. No one has seen it yet. What's the purpose? You'll know when you see it."
The light in Wang Chong's eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly.
He had some thoughts about this Dashi Princess, but he would not know until he saw her.
"I'll leave it to you here, I'll go and rest for a while."
Turning around and explaining a few words to Wei Anfang, Wang Chong quickly returned to his residence along the stairs.
"Squeaky!"
The door was pushed open, Wang Chong had just walked into the room, his hind feet were still outside the threshold, in the room, a strong wind was blowing, and a figure had rushed towards him in a hurry.
"Ancestor, why are you here now? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Jingzhong grabbed Wang Chong's sleeves with both hands, and his eyes were burning with anxiety.
"Hehe, isn't this here? And I just came to the Kunwu training camp, and I don't explain some things, isn't it too suspicious?"
Wang Chong was calm and unhurried. After closing the door, he went straight to the red sandalwood round table in the room, picked up a handful of purple sand thin pots on the table, poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, and sipped carefully.
"My ancestor, you are not in a hurry, but the fifth prince and I are on fire! Now the eldest prince and the second prince are watching us very closely. The fifth prince has no chance to leave the palace. Bian finally got rid of the stalking. If I miss this time, I don’t know when I will have a chance next time.”
Li Jingzhong's voice was urgent and fast, wishing to finish everything in one breath.
"Tell me, what is it that is so urgent that you have to invite me here to deceive others?"
Wang Chong frowned slightly and said.
Outsiders only thought that he returned to the Kunwu training camp for his own Zhige Academy, but few people knew that he had actually received a letter from the fifth prince.
"Master Hou, I'm afraid you don't know yet. You look at the calm outside, but the palace is already upside down. The eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince are all trying to buy people's hearts, win over powerful officials, and generals. If the eldest prince, second prince, and third prince are successful, then the fifth prince really has no chance."
"But this matter is not trivial, and the fifth prince has no opinion, so I was asked to ask Lord Hou for advice. Now that the fifth prince has gained some influence in the palace, and some people are willing to serve His Highness, this matter should not be too late. It's better to be fast than slow, otherwise, the First Prince and the others will win over them all."
Li Jingzhong was sweating profusely. While talking, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over:
"Master Hou, here is the list. I would like to ask Master Hou to check who is available and who is not. Lord Hou has a close relationship with the fifth prince. Please help Master Hou to the end."
After Li Jingzhong finished speaking, he bowed deeply.
Following the Great Victory in the Southwest, Wang Chong became a Marquis, and the Son of Heaven bestowed his title on him. Now Wang Chong has an extraordinary weight in the palace, and he is the biggest support and backbone of the Fifth Prince.
Especially last time, when meeting with the Holy Majesty, the emperors impeached Li Heng with unexpected intentions, and they concealed their knowledge of martial arts but did not report it. As a result, Li Heng followed Wang Chong's instructions and passed the calamity smoothly. Wang Chong trusted him extremely.
Even Li Jingzhong was jealous of this trust, but he dared not say anything more.
"Win the courtiers?"
Wang Chong's brows frowned into a Sichuan shape, and he didn't immediately take the list in Li Jingzhong's hand:
"Li Jingzhong, do you know what you are doing? Your Majesty hates the faction of princes in the palace the most. If you let Your Majesty know about this, it will be a death penalty! Have you all forgotten the old affairs of the previous dynasty?"
When it came to the end, Wang Chong's voice was stern.
Throughout the dynasties, no matter which emperor, even the emperor Gaozu and Taizong who are as wise as this dynasty, they also hated the princes of the palaces for forming cliques and forming cliques for personal gain.
There are not a few princes who have been abolished for this reason. Wang Chong never thought that the fifth prince would come to him for such a thing.
If this matter is not handled properly, all those involved, including myself, will be convicted.
"Li Jingzhong, didn't I tell you to assist the Fifth Prince? Say! Did you instigate it!"
Wang Chong's voice was stern, his gaze was like a sword, as if he wanted to cut Li Jingzhong open.
thump!
Seeing the killing intent in Wang Chong's eyes, Li Jingzhong trembled all over, and knelt down on the ground with a plop:
"Your Majesty, I am wronged! This really has nothing to do with me. Your Highness is slowly gaining attention in the palace, and it is the time when he is full of ambition. How can I push him away. However, which high-ranking prince, including the current Holy Emperor, can really do it?"
When Wang Chong heard this, he fell silent.
Although Li Jingzhong, a treacherous official, was cunning and cunning, even Wang Chong couldn't refute this matter.
Every dynasty taboos the collusion between the prince and the officials in the court, as well as the generals in the frontier, but how many people can do it? It's just to see who hides deeper.
This is true of today's majesty, the past emperor, Emperor Taizong, and all the talented and bold emperors in history.
And without this courage, you can't become a real dragon!
"Master Hou, the matter is urgent, please help His Highness the Fifth Highness no matter what."
Seeing Wang Chong's expression loosen, Li Jingzhong looked up his words and immediately raised his head to strike while the iron was hot.
"Don't be too happy, if you let me know that you are behind the scenes, you will die. Even if I kill you, I believe you should know that no one will speak for you, including the fifth prince."
Wang Chong said coldly.
Li Jingzhong felt a chill in his heart, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to say anything else.
Swish!
Wang Chong took the letter from Li Jingzhong's hand, shook it, unfolded it, and read it carefully. In the room, the atmosphere suddenly became dignified.
Although it was only a thin piece of letter paper, everyone knew that if this letter paper was leaked out, it would inevitably cause a bloodbath and a storm in the capital.
Although Wang Chong said it lightly, his expression became extremely serious as soon as he took the letter. On the other hand, Li Jingzhong lay on the ground, not daring to vent his breath.
On the letter paper is a long string of names, each of which is an important minister in the court and has extraordinary weight. Wang Chong watched all the way, and was also secretly startled. The influence of the fifth prince now seems to be much greater than he imagined.
Being able to gain so much recognition and trust also proves that the current fifth prince also has a lot of influence in the palace. But looking at it, Wang Chong quickly frowned.
"My lord, what happened?"
Li Jingzhong observed his words and expressions, and immediately asked:
"On this list, are there any spies from the First Prince?"
"You're smart."
Wang Chong glanced at him coldly. Although the future treacherous official was treacherous and cunning, he was very sensitive in this regard. He just frowned slightly, and he immediately felt it.
