Chapter 1209 Subdue Bian Lingcheng!
Chapter 1209
King Song is a member of the royal family and has great influence in Beijing, while Concubine Taizhen stands behind Yang Zhao. With Concubine Taizhen's influence and the degree of favor in the palace, it is really too easy to investigate an eunuch. Even if Bian Lingcheng is the prison general personally appointed by the Holy Emperor, he is insignificant in front of the Empress Taizhen.
Wang Chong believed that with Bian Lingcheng's greedy character, no matter whether it was in the imperial court or in the frontier, there would definitely be many clues left behind.
The news of Yang Hongchang came much faster than expected. Three days later, Wang Chong got the news he wanted.
Ten days later, Wang Chong also received news from King Song and Yang Zhao. Song Wang didn't ask a word, and sent a stack of detailed materials according to Wang Chong's needs. On the contrary, when Yang Zhao sent the information, he also asked a few questions very curiously. Yang Zhao was quite curious about Wang Chong's going to investigate an eunuch, but even so, the information he gave was better than anyone else's. Be detailed.
...
"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!"
When Wang Chong threw the stack of documents in front of Bian Lingcheng with a snap, the third most treacherous eunuch in the history of the Tang Dynasty immediately turned pale, knelt down on the ground with a bang, and beat his head like garlic.
According to the rules of the imperial court, he should have left Khorasan long after the imperial decree was announced. But because of his greed, he couldn't get the 80 million taels of gold he wanted, so Bian Lingcheng postponed the trip for more than ten days until now. He originally thought that when he got the news this time, it was Gao Xianzhi who had figured something out, but he never expected that this was the one who waited in the end.
Looking at the stack of documents on the ground, Bian Lingcheng was terrified, his whole body was about to collapse, and the cold sweat dripped from his forehead like rainwater. The above information is all about his corruption and bribery, and various information about buying and selling officials. Some information is even clearer than Bian Lingcheng himself. It was only when he saw the news that he suddenly woke up and remembered it.
"Bian Lingcheng, you are a mere eunuch, relying on the badge given to you by His Majesty, you actually committed crimes in the army, amassing money wantonly, and even dared to threaten an important imperial official like Anxi Dahu. Do you know that this alone is enough? Cut you into pieces! It's really not a pity to die!"
Wang Chong was condescending, standing with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at Bian Lingcheng, who was kneeling in front of him, with an extremely cold expression.
"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!"
Bian Lingcheng was sweating like rain, his head was pounding like garlic, and the ground was pounding, and he didn't even know that his forehead was broken. At this moment, there was a great fear in his heart. Wang Chong's collection of criminal evidence was too complete, and Bian Lingcheng couldn't even find a rebuttal or justification.
As Wang Chong, as long as he handed over these, he would almost die.
"Hmph, for the sake of your secret assistance to Mr. Gao, I will spare your life for the time being. If you let me know that you are still blackmailing Mr. Gao with the things you did back then, and still extorting, buying and selling officials, you will die. One. With my ability, you should know that no matter where you escape, I will definitely know."
Wang Chong said coldly.
"The little one understands, the little one understands! Don't worry, my lord, even if a villain has a hundred thousand guts, he will never dare to blackmail Mr. Gao."
Bian Lingcheng was terrified, sweating like rain.
"Very well, take these things!"
Wang Chong pointed to a wooden box next to it,
Bian Lingcheng raised his head with surprise on his face.
"The villain dare not, the villain dare not!"
How dare Bian Lingcheng take Wang Chong's things at this time.
"Tell you to take it, you take it!"
Wang Chong said coldly, with a slight chill in his eyes.
Bian Lingcheng's heart trembled, he dared to say more, walked all the way on his knees, walked to the surrounding area, lowered his head, and took the wooden box from the table.
"Aren't you going to open it and have a look?"
Wang Chong stared at Bian Lingcheng and said indifferently.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Bian Lingcheng opened the wooden box with a snap, and when he saw the contents, Lingcheng was stunned for a moment.
"this……"
What was in the wooden box was nothing but a thick stack of gold dollar coupons, each of which had a huge denomination, and it was roughly estimated that there were at least five or six million taels of gold coupons inside.
Bian Lingcheng raised his head, looked at Wang Chong, and was stunned.
"This is six million taels of gold. Take it. I also saw that you have helped Mr. Gao and made contributions to the country. This money is enough for you for a long time. If you dare to reach out and ask for it everywhere, It must be cut without pardon.”
Wang Chong said coldly.
Bian Lingcheng was covered in cold sweat, and the real six dared to say more:
"Thank you, my lord!"
"Go!"
Wang Chong waved his hand.
Bian Lingcheng originally believed that he would die, but now not only did he not die, but he also gained such a great benefit. But just after taking a few steps, Bian Lingcheng hesitated a few times, then stopped suddenly.
"What's the matter, do you have anything else to do?"
Wang Chong said coldly.
"The villain dare not!"
Bian Lingcheng trembled all over, with fear in his eyes:
"It's just that the villain remembered one more thing. I don't know if it should be said or not. It is related to Master Hou."
Bian Lingcheng emphasized the last sentence.
"Say it!"
Wang Chong waved his hand, not paying attention.
"When the villain was in Beijing, I also heard some news. Although Lord Hou has made great contributions in the Western Regions this time, the entire court is discussing how to reward Lord Hou, but the Confucian side has a lot of complaints about Lord Hou."
Bian Ling said sincerely.
"oh?"
Wang Chong frowned, but he soon felt relieved. The civil servants and military generals fought very hard in the previous battle of Talas. The Confucian civil servants headed by the Grand Master retaliated against this war very strongly, and for his own sake, grandpa even came forward in person. , There was a conflict with the Taishi in the court. Now that the imperial court is wanting to reward the royal family, it is common sense that Confucianism has objections.
"Understood, you are willing to tell me about this matter, let's go down!"
Wang Chong waved his hand.
No matter whether the information provided by a traitor like Bian Lingcheng is useful or useless, at least he is willing to tell himself that this kind of thing is intentional, and the six million taels of gold he spent is not in vain.
"yes!"
Bian Lingcheng answered with a bow, and quickly withdrew, leaving only Wang Chong in the hall.
"Master Protector, why do you still give him six million taels of gold when you have already caught him?"
A voice suddenly came from behind, and following the sound of pattering footsteps, Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi walked out from behind a curtain at the back of the main hall together, the two looked at the direction Bian Lingcheng was leaving, and flashed one after another in their eyes shine.
The whole conversation between Wang Chong and Bian Lingcheng could be seen clearly from behind. The two originally thought that with Wang Chong's character, Bian Lingcheng might have a dead end. Unexpectedly, Wang Chong not only turned over Bian Lingcheng, but also gave him a sum of money in the end. This is completely different from the Wang Chong in everyone's impression.
"A treacherous official has the usage of a traitorous official. Although Bian Lingcheng is greedy, his own ability is unquestionable. As long as his ambition is deterred, he can be used by us. Maybe it will be effective at any time. Besides, I have a project The plan needs him too."
Wang Chong said calmly.
No matter how greedy Bian Lingcheng is, he has made Gao Xianzhi after all. If it weren't for him, this empire would probably lose an Anxi God of War. From this point of view, Bian Lingcheng itself is still somewhat useful. At least so many people, he can recognize Gao Xianzhi, and against the threat of Fumeng Lingcha, recommend it to the Holy Emperor, it can be reflected.
This was also one of the reasons why Wang Chong spared his life.
Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were silent, Wang Chong didn't say what the plan was, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing also tacitly didn't ask.
Time passed by, Bian Lingcheng left with six million taels of gold coupons, and the whole of Khorasan returned to normal, everything was in order under the arrangements of Feng Changqing and Wang Chong. Before you know it, a month has passed.
"Report!"
It was early in the morning, and there was a loud shout outside the Khorasan city. Looking from a distance, the smoke and dust billowed, and an iron cavalry stepped on the bridge built above the Tigris River and rushed all the way into the city of Khorasan.
"Report your lord! I found traces of the Dashi army 30 miles outside the city. There are more than half a million people in total, and they are heading towards Khorasan!"
As soon as the messenger entered the hall, he knelt down on the ground, panting.
"What, the big cannibal is coming again!"
Hearing the news, all the leaders of the rebel army in the hall, Huo Di, stood up, all of them were very excited.
From the Battle of Talas to the Battle of Khorasan, the entire Dashi Empire had lost more than one million troops. No one thought that after the ice and snow melted, they would make a comeback so soon.
"My lord, I'll go gather the men immediately, and we'll give them a hard lesson!"
"My lord, I request to take the initiative to attack and deal with the big cannibal!"
A group of leaders of the rebel army looked at the top of the hall one after another, representing the leader of the coalition army, Wang Chong on the throne.
"No need!"
Wang Chong smiled lightly, and waved his hands slightly under the astonished gazes of the crowd.
"It's just hundreds of thousands of food troops. I have already arranged everything! Bahram, is it alright?"
"Return to your lord, everything is ready, all the army can enter the state of combat readiness at any time, and annihilate the incoming enemies!"
A deep voice sounded in the hall, and Bahram stood not far from the hall, standing like a statue, exuding a strong aura.
"Very good! Let's get started!"
A frightening light flashed in Wang Chong's eyes. Pressing the armrest of the throne with both hands, he slowly stood up from the seat. The mountains shook at that moment, and a majestic aura erupted from him.
War is imminent.
...
It was quiet outside Khorasan, only the sound of the gurgling water of the Tigris River and the low wind in the sky. After an unknown amount of time, there was a rumbling sound, and a sudden vibration came from a distance. At the beginning, it was unclear. , but in a short period of time, it has increased to an astonishing level.
"Look there!"
A voice suddenly resounded from the top of Talas City, breaking the calm. The next moment, in the eyes of countless people, a surging black tide surged towards here from the horizon.
Nearby flags fluttered in the army, and huge black flags of the Great Food War fluttered in the wind, showing off incomparably. After fighting against the Great Cannibal Empire for so long, everyone is very familiar with the battle flag of the Great Cannibal.
