Chapter 1226 The Changed Capital!

Chapter 1226

Wang Gen shook his head:

"During this time, I have met His Royal Highness King Song twice, and each time I didn't have much time to talk."

Hearing Uncle Wang Gen's words, Wang Chong frowned deeply.

From the moment he received the imperial decree in Khorasan, Wang Chong was thinking about the whole thing. His own up and down, as well as Khorasan's withdrawal, was deprived of military power, even if someone wanted to do it, logically it would never pass.

King Song, Uncle Wang Gen, Minister of the Ministry of War Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, Yang Zhao and Concubine Taizhen behind him, plus the great influence of grandfather Jiu Gong in the court, and the help of other ministers of civil and military affairs, including the favor of the Holy Emperor. All of these are like an invisible barrier, keeping all maliciousness out, which is why Wang Chong can fight outside with peace of mind.

However, with such a solid barrier, such an imperial decree was actually passed, which deprived Wang Chong of his military power in one fell swoop, and wiped out everything that Wang Chong worked hard for Great Tang in Khorasan. This was something Wang Chong never thought of. Looking back on the whole thing, the weirdest thing was King Song's attitude.

After this incident happened, Wang Chong originally thought that he would soon receive a letter from King Song, and quickly learn the cause and effect of the incident, so that he would at least know what happened. But after the whole thing happened, it took more than half a month from Khorasan to the capital, but King Song didn't even have a letter. The whole thing is really strange.

"What happened in the court that day?"

Wang Chong pondered for a moment, and finally asked the question he wanted to know the most. Looking at the entire court, if King Song couldn't get the answer he wanted, then the only person most likely to tell him was his uncle Wang Gen.

As a member of the first rank in the court, although the uncle's status is not as high as that of Sangong, he can definitely get in touch with a lot of secret court information.

When he was walking on the road, Wang Chong had actually asked his uncle Wang Gen. But the uncle spoke very cryptically, hardly revealing any information, and only said that everything will be discussed after Wang Chong returns. Now the time has finally come.

"well!"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Wang Chong's words, Wang Gen's brows suddenly furrowed deeply, and a trace of deep worry appeared on his calm and calm face:

"Chong'er, I have no way to answer your question right now. Too many things have happened during this time. In the 20 years in the imperial court, I have experienced many storms and waves, but none of them is as good as this time. There are many things that I can’t even explain to you. Even the imperial decree, I haven’t figured out how it was passed. I really want to know what happened in the court that day. Know."

Wang Gen's words surprised Wang Chong.

"Uncle, what's going on, why don't you even know?"

Wang Chong frowned deeply. Wang Chong never thought that with his uncle's status, he would be ignorant of such a big matter.

"Chong'er, you will understand after listening to me."

Wang Gen leaned his back against the carriage, with a wry smile in his eyes:

"This matter was not right from the very beginning, Chong'er, you may not know it, when that incident happened that day, I was not in the court at all, the whole matter, until the final decision was made,

I wasn't involved at all! "

"Buzz!"

Wang Gen's words shocked Wang Chong's heart. At this moment, countless thoughts flew through Wang Chong's mind.

With the uncle's status as a first-rank official, it is definitely not something ordinary people can do to transfer him away from the capital. And the uncle is an important representative of the Wang family in the court, if you want to deal with yourself, you must transfer the uncle. Judging from what the uncle said, when that incident happened, he was not in Beijing at all. Wang Chong believed that this was definitely not a simple coincidence.

——This looks more like a well-prepared and carefully set trap.

Wang Gen obviously also understood this point, and there was an imperceptible worry on his brows. Many things would not be discovered until then, but it would be too late.

"Before the incident, I received news that there was a disaster in Jiangnan Road, the people rioted, and many fertile fields and houses were destroyed. Jiangnan Road will not be in great danger, but it is related to the people's livelihood, so there is no small matter, so we have to send a senior official to appease the local area and preside over the overall situation. After some discussions, it was finally decided to send me out."

Wang Gen raised his head slightly and looked up, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes:

"Although I was a little surprised, it involved the common people, and it was within my duty, so I set off to Jiangnan Road. At that time, King Song was also in court, and neither I nor King Song thought much about it, because even if it wasn't me , and there must be other people going. It’s just that when I arrive at Jiangnan Road, everything is completely different from the news I received in the court.”

"There was indeed a flood in Jiangnan Road, but the disaster has been quelled, and all the people have been properly dealt with. In addition, the disaster is far from as big as we imagined, and there are no riots or letters from the victims. The cause is the writing of the memorial. The clerk was dereliction of duty, he didn't investigate carefully at all, and wrote this memorial casually, so this happened. The clerk has been dealt with, and the main local officials have also resigned. All these are waiting for me to arrive. It was already arranged. At this time, I received the news that the imperial court passed the edict."

Wang Chong didn't speak, his face gradually became gloomy. The carriage rolled forward, and the voice of the uncle Wang Gen continued to come from beside his ears, and the voice was a little heavier than before:

"From the moment I got the news, I felt something was wrong, and I rushed back to the capital overnight. But after going back and forth, the entire imperial court has undergone major changes in a short period of time. Many officials I used to be familiar with have all disappeared. There are many new faces that I have never seen before."

"Didn't Uncle investigate their backgrounds? The place of the court is no small matter. Without extraordinary achievements or talents, it is difficult to enter the court!"

Wang Chong interrupted suddenly.

From small local officials to high officials in the court, many people may have to spend a lifetime to do it. And for more people, the main hall in the imperial palace, the place where the power of the entire empire is concentrated, is probably a place that they can't expect for a lifetime. Wang Chong fought repeatedly, made such great contributions, and only had military power. When it came to politics in the court, he was only assigned a Pingzhang Counselor.

"I've checked. Although their appearance is a bit abrupt, their background is impeccable. Either they are local Xiaolian or local officials. They have made many achievements in the past, but they have been kept there without reporting until It has only recently exploded in concentration and played to the imperial court."

"How can it be?!"

Wang Chong's brows twitched suddenly. Since the Great Tang Dynasty has been in operation, there has long been a bureaucratic assessment and selection system internally. This sounds possible in theory, but it is impossible in practice.

"I also had this kind of suspicion at the beginning, but later facts proved that, aside from other things, the achievements listed in the court memorial are actually real."

Wang Gen smiled wryly. After sitting in the court for many years, it is impossible to show off in front of him and deceive him. But precisely because of the depth of the investigation, Wang Gen was even more unable to say anything to refute. In the carriage, there was a dead silence. After a long time, Wang Chong's voice suddenly sounded in the carriage:

"Didn't uncle check their files?"

"Chong'er, you are really smart."

Wang Gen sighed:

"Their resumes are indeed impeccable, all their identities and backgrounds are perfect, but I have checked their files, and all the papers used in the files are very brand new. If a complete file is true and effective, the paper used to record the files is absolutely impossible. It’s so brand-new! These people have thought hard, this is probably the only flaw left by them, and this point, I’m afraid no means can make up for it!”

A wise man is always worried, and there is bound to be a mistake. No matter how perfect the resume is, it will definitely leave flaws. Time is the only thing that cannot be faked.

When Jilu was talking, suddenly, the carriage vibrated, and at the same time, the voice of the coachman sounded from outside the carriage:

"Master, here we are."

In an instant, Wang Chong and Wang Gen came back to their senses, pushed the door open, and they walked out of the carriage together. Outside the carriage, a familiar mansion came into view. This was the mansion of Uncle Wang Gen. Wang Chong and Wang Gen didn't discuss the court affairs any more. He flicked his sleeves and walked towards the mansion with a calm expression, just like the most ordinary relatives meeting each other.

In the mansion, Wang Chong visited his aunt Xing and cousin Wang Li, lingered in the mansion for a while, and left soon. Everything seemed normal. Leaving from the Uncle's Mansion, Wang Chong didn't stay, and went directly to King Song's mansion.

There are too many suspicious points in this incident. Only one person can answer the questions in Wang Chong's mind.

That is King Song!

As a relative of the Tang Dynasty's emperor and an important leader in the court, King Song belongs to the center of the whole incident. Every turmoil, every big political turmoil can hardly get around King Song.

"Stop! Who!"

Before Wang Chong could get close to the majestic gate of King Song's Mansion, there was a burst of shouting, and the two guards at the gate stepped forward to stop Wang Chong. The spears in the hands of the two crossed, and their expressions looked extremely sharp.

"Idlers are not allowed to enter the mansion of King Song, don't you know that? Leave quickly!"

Looking at the two guards in front of him, Wang Chong's expression suddenly darkened. He has also been to Song Palace many times, but he has never been stopped before, and Wang Chong has never seen the two guards before him.

"I am Wang Chong, king of foreign lands. I am here to pay my respects to His Royal Highness King Song, and please pass on a message for me."

Wang Chong didn't get angry, took a deep breath, and quickly calmed down.

Hearing the words Alien King, the two guards finally changed their expressions slightly. They looked at Wang Chong carefully, as if they wanted to confirm his identity. The two glanced at each other, and soon, a guard walked quickly towards the inside.
