Chapter 94: Times (1)

"Everyone, this is the son of my third son Wang Yan, who happens to be also the third son, named Wang Chong!"

At this moment, the old man sitting at the top spoke, stretched out a hand, and pointed at Wang Chong who had just entered.

"Oh!"

"Master Chong!"

"Come in, Mr. Chong."

...

A group of white-haired old men were talking one after another, but their expressions didn't pay much attention. It was only out of respect for the old man that he was perfunctory. In this hall, they have seen too many people.

The old man's eldest grandson Wang Li, the third son Wang Yan's eldest son Wang Fu, and the second son Wang Bo, they have all met. This is the fourth one, so I don't care much about Wang Chong.

"Junior Wang Chong, I have met all the elders!"

Wang Chong bowed respectfully and saluted, and he didn't care about the attitude of the old people. Those who can sit here with the old man are all his old subordinates.

Most of these people have experienced the shocking palace coup at that time, and they also followed the old man to support the current Holy Emperor when the mansion was about to collapse and Shenzhou was in turmoil. When they were young, they also went in and out of the court, An extremely personable minister..., although he is over sixty now, he still has extraordinary appeal and influence.

Each of them is not the patriarch of a big family, a big family, a hero of one side, although they are over sixty years old, they still have extraordinary influence.

With the influence of these people, there is really no need to show too much respect to him, a fifteen-year-old child. In fact, if it weren't for the honor of the old man, they probably wouldn't bother to say anything perfunctory.

"Sit down and move a seat for him!"

The old man spoke from above.

The people in the conference hall are all veterans, seniors. Although Wang Chong is the grandson of the old man, he can only sit at the back when he is scheduled for shifts here, and it is still a small chair. went into the corner.

It was the first time I came in. In fact, the old man arranged for Wang Chong to listen. It's also good to have more experience, which will be good for the future.

After Wang Chong was arranged, a group of people in the meeting room immediately chatted again.

Wang Chong sat in the corner and scanned around. In the hall, apart from the old man and these old subordinates, his uncle Wang Gen was also here, sitting next to the old man.

Eldest uncle is the eldest son and also an important minister of the court. No matter whether he can get the recognition of these veterans or not, he will always have a seat next to the old man.

Besides uncle, cousin Wang Li is also there. When he first arrived at the Sifang Pavilion, the cousin looked angry and impatient, but this time he was a completely different person. When the old man chatted with these old subordinates, he listened very carefully and showed a very serious look on his face. A strong desire to express.

This is completely different from his previous impression of Wang Chong.

"The cousin also won the approval of the old subordinates like Grandpa!"

A thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind.

Whether he can get the approval of this group of old subordinates, grandpa doesn't care, he is only qualified to recommend. Things like "respect" and "recognition" are useless. Only from the heart can they be effective.

Although the cousin always tried his best every time, Wang Chong knew that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to conquer the old man's disciples.

It's not that he is not good enough, but that these old subordinates are very experienced and experienced people.

They have experienced great storms and waves in their lives, no matter what kind of talent they have, they are "frivolous skills" in their eyes and seem insignificant.

To "conquer" them is not an easy task. Otherwise, up to the eldest uncle, father, uncle, younger uncle, down to the eldest brother, second brother, and cousin, they will fail.

A group of people can only obtain the permission of one or two "old subordinates" at most, and so far no one has been able to obtain the recognition of everyone at the same time.

When his eyes swept across the meeting room and finally the old man above, Wang Chong's eyes fluctuated, and a look of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"The old man can't survive the big turmoil!"

A thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind. No one understood better than him that after four years, grandpa would let go. The hidden wounds in the early years, the severe injuries on the battlefield, and the years of hard work, even after retirement, he is still working hard for the emperor, offering advice and suggestions, which makes Grandpa have been under high-intensity mental fatigue.

In a few years, the old man will pass away.

But at this moment, no one in the entire Wang family has realized this, whether it is the eldest uncle or the father.

Grandpa's strength concealed his weakness, so that in the hearts of the Wang family, Grandpa is like a god, who is immortal and will never fall.

But in this world, no one can live forever, not even grandpa.

That's why after the grandfather fell, as if the sky fell apart, the entire Wang clan seemed so flustered. Even the uncle, who had always been calm and calm, became at a loss for what to do.

Wang Chong will always remember that day, the look of extreme panic on his face.

Wang Chong knew very well that if he wanted to inherit his grandfather's influence, the Wang family didn't have many opportunities. In four years, there were only four times.

There is a saying that "the past is not waiting", without a core soul who unites people's hearts, the old man's disciples, old and future, will all disperse.

The influence and status accumulated by the old man all his life will dissipate in one day. In the future, even if some people are still loyal to the Wang family, their influence will not be much worse than before.

Inheritance of a great family has never been an easy task, and this has always been my grandfather's heart disease!

"No matter what, I have to find a way to win the approval of the old subordinates like Grandpa!"

Wang Chong sat in the corner and secretly clenched his fists.

In the room, apart from the Wang family and grandfather's old subordinates, there was also a group of juniors. Every year on grandpa's birthday, Gu Ran is the time when grandpa recommends candidates, but why is it not the time for these old subordinates to recommend the younger generation in the family to inherit the influence? [reckless]

In the meeting hall, a group of people were chatting, unknowingly talking about the current situation.

"...The eastern and western Turkic Khanates in the northern grasslands are becoming more and more powerful, and there is a tendency to merge recently. I heard that the khans of the two tribes have sent khans to discuss this matter. We have to guard against it!"

A white-haired old man with a strong figure and a strong military killing atmosphere said. Wang Chong recognized him. He was known as "Ye Gong". He was an old subordinate of his grandfather. He once participated in the murderous palace coup with his grandfather, and supported the current Holy Emperor with his grandfather.

Ye Gong's surname is Ye, no one knows his exact name, and no junior dares to ask. Wang Chong only knew that under his grandfather's command, he was the most loyal old subordinate, and he was extremely strategic.

When everyone was still entangled in the domestic party disputes, the eyes of these old officials of Grandpa had already set their sights on the northern grasslands.

"In these years, the world has been peaceful. According to the emperor's mission, we do business with everyone in the world. The Turks in the north are not good at smelting iron, but these people, benefiting from trade, don't know how to buy from our Tang Dynasty. How much refined iron and black iron have been lost. Now, their arrows have begun to use inscription refined iron!"

"The people of East and West Turks are good at horseback riding and archery. If they get our refined iron and black iron, their combat power will increase greatly. This is by no means a blessing for the empire!"

Ye Gong has white beard and hair, but his eyes are bright, and he doesn't look old at all. When he talks about the Turkic Khanate in the north, he looks worried.

"Not only that, I read the official documents of the Ministry of War. The scattered cavalry of the Eastern and Western Turks are now attacking the border and grass valleys more and more times. In the past, we could basically trade two for three, and two people died. Come three teams of Turkic cavalry, we pay two teams of casualties, and we can wipe them all out. But now, we can only exchange two for two."

"Sometimes, in the case of a sudden attack, we even lose more. Jiugong, this situation is very disturbing. Their combat effectiveness is increasing rapidly!"

Another burly white-haired old man said. Among all the people, he was the tallest. Sitting there together, he was at least a head taller, and his thick arms and thick legs didn't look like an old man, but a strong and strong man.

Wang Chong remembered that this was another subordinate of his grandfather in his early years, known as "Big Beard". When I was young, I never shaved my full beard, and I was proud of it.

It's the same when I'm old, but my beard turns white. In addition, no one dared to call him "Big Beard" anymore, and everyone called him "Old Hu".

Under the command of the former grandfather, he was the number one fighter.

"Jiu Gong, you and His Majesty have walked the closest, and whispered in His Majesty's ear, these things can't be bothered! In recent years, the periphery of the empire has not been peaceful!"

Another white-haired old subordinate also echoed, full of worries.

Wang Chong recognized this person's surname as Qiao, and he was older than grandpa. You call him "Master Qiao". The three of them talked about the Eastern and Western Turks in the northern grassland at the same time, obviously they had discussed it in advance, and they brought it up together on the occasion of Jiu Gong's birthday.

"The Anbei Protectorate is the fence in the north. It is their responsibility to protect the Turkic Khanate in the east and west. Does the Anbei Protectorate have anything to say?"

When the old man heard three old subordinates mentioning the matter of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates in the north at the same time, his eyes immediately showed vigilance.

From Qin to Han, from Sui to Tang, the nomadic peoples in the north have always been the confidant of China-earth Shenzhou. During the Qin Dynasty, they were forced to build the Great Wall and sent a general to garrison it with 100,000 elite soldiers. The Han Dynasty was in trouble with Bai Deng, while the Sui Dynasty suffered a lot from being attacked many times.

When he arrived in Datang, he had always maintained extremely high vigilance against the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates in the north. Back then, the old man had personally led troops to the north to defeat the coalition forces of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates, but in that battle, Datang also suffered a lot.

The old man was very impressed with the power of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates, so when he heard this, he immediately became vigilant!
