Chapter 1214 Shocking, Deprivation of Military Power!
Chapter 1214
Alien King!
No one thought that the Holy Emperor's favor to Wang Chong would be so great, it was not a duke, nor a title, but a king of a foreign land! Such a reward was simply unprecedented, and even exceeded everyone's expectations.
"The king of a foreign land is actually a king of a foreign land! The imperial court actually named Lord Hou a king!"
"Hahaha, that's great! We adults will be the real princes from now on!"
...
The subordinates around Wang Chong raised their heads one after another, their eyes bright and excited. King! King! Even taller than the Duke, this is something that no one dared to think about before. From then on, Wang Chong was the real nobleman of the royal family, an existence on an equal footing with King Song and King Qi.
In the two hundred years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for conferring a king with a different surname. Wang Chong has made untold feats and contributions, and finally broke this stereotype and became the first king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty!
At this moment, even Bahram, Princess Sassan, the leaders of the various rebel armies, Fergana and the king of Gunk who were watching around, and even the surrounding Anxi guards all blushed. I am very happy for Wang Chong.
Hard work will eventually pay off. Wang Chong is a friend of the Sassanid Dynasty, and even the leader of the coalition forces. He can get the attention of the Tang Empire, and everyone is really happy for him.
However, at this moment, the only one who remained calm was Wang Chong.
His gaze passed over the eunuch in brocade clothes who seemed to be of considerable status, the civil servants waiting with their eyes closed, and the court envoys with staid and solemn expressions behind him, and his brows frowned imperceptibly. It is indeed a joy to be rewarded by the imperial court as the "King of Foreign Lands", but in front of them, the expressions of these people do not seem to be full of joy.
Moreover, it seemed that the imperial decree in the hand of the brocade eunuch was far from finished.
Sure enough, the eunuch's sharp voice came from beside his ear:
"In addition, after deliberation by the six ministries, the juvenile Marquis was appointed as the counselor of Pingzhang, participated in the government, and immediately returned to Beijing to return to his command. As for all the military power in his hands and all the affairs of Khorasan, they were all handed over to Wen Changqing, Tang Chengyu, and Li Fanming. In addition, Wang Yan was named Ping General Yi, Wang Fu is General Huxiao, transferred to the Northeast..."
boom!
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, Xi Yuanqing, Fergana and the King of Gunk kneeling on the ground, as well as Bahram and the leader of the rebel army on the side, all showed expressions of extreme shock.
"What's going on? Add Pingzhang as a counselor and participate in the government. Is the Holy Majesty going to transfer the young man away?"
"Transfer the military power? Why do you want to hand over the military power! All of us believe in the young man, because with him, we can fight against Dashi. If the young man is transferred away, who will deal with Dashi!"
"No! Why is it just a Pingzhang counselor, isn't it a foreign king? Why is it such a small official?"
...
All around, the crowd was boiling. If they didn't hear it with their own ears, everyone would almost think that there was something wrong with their ears. And Feng Changqing, who was not far away, looked at Wang Chong's back, and his heart was even more ups and downs, causing great waves.
Wang Chong was crowned king of foreign lands, far above all the princes of the country and the county, and he was truly a dignitary, but no matter how high the king was, if he had no real power, he would still be a vain title. With so many princes in the Tang royal family, only King Song and King Qi have real power. The imperial court took away Wang Chong's military power and removed him from the position of the governor of Qixi, but only gave a Pingzhang counselor the right to participate in the government. This is a typical rise and fall!
"How could this be? What happened?"
Feng Changqing opened his eyes, his lips trembled, and his heart was in chaos. Having dealt with so many political affairs, Feng Changqing thought that he was very familiar with the changes and decisions of the court, but Feng Changqing never imagined that such a thing would happen in his life!
The extreme nobility and the extreme lowliness are concentrated in the same person at the same time.
Gao Xianzhi on the side was also shocked, and his eyes slowly shifted from the brocade-clothed eunuch in front to Wang Chong beside him. After successive victories, this is by no means the scene that everyone expected to be rewarded with great rewards.
Almost instinctively, Gao Xianzhi felt that something was wrong with the court.
The sharp voice was still ringing in everyone's ears. After the rewards from Su Hanshan, Fergana, King of Gangke and others were over, Wang Chong finally raised his head and stepped forward to receive the order:
"Minister, accept the order!"
silence!
There was dead silence around the entire city lord's mansion, and there was no joy at all. Even the ordinary Khorasan warriors who knew nothing about the Tang Dynasty's government felt strange.
"Father-in-law, forgive Gao Xianzhi for talking too much, what happened? Since the Holy Majesty has appointed Wang Chong as the foreign king and transferred him to the capital, why did he only appoint a Pingzhang Counselor, and why did he remove Wang Chong's Qixi Grand Protector and hand over the military power? "
When the imperial decree was announced, Gao Xianzhi stepped forward and asked first. Among all the people, Gao Xianzhi has the highest qualifications, and as the top general in the empire, Gao Xianzhi is also the most qualified to ask.
Wang Chong was kind to the Anxi Protectorate Army. Whether as an ally, friend, guide, or elder, Gao Xianzhi hoped that Wang Chong would be truly valued by the imperial court, instead of being blindly promoted and surrendered by others, and deprived of military power.
"Master Gao, this is the decision of the Holy Master and the Sixth Ministry. Whether or not to award a reward, and how to award it, is it something that adults can care about?"
The pale-faced eunuch in brocade clothes cast a lukewarm glance at Gao Xianzhi.
For a moment, Gao Xianzhi immediately frowned. And all around, everyone's faces became ugly. As an important minister of the empire, Anxi's God of War, except for the special case of Bian Lingcheng, no eunuch had ever dared to speak to Gao Xianzhi in such a tone.
"Sir Gao, don't ask too much. If you should know, the court will let you know. If you shouldn't know, even if you ask us, we don't know anything!"
On the side, the Master Wen who had been silent when he read out the imperial decree suddenly spoke. His expression was rigid, and when he spoke, except for the squirming of his lips, he didn't move a single part of his body.
But just for this statement, Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, Wang Yan, Cheng Qianli and others who watched from the side couldn't help their eyelids twitching wildly. Being able to intervene next to this eunuch in brocade clothes, just from this point, it can be seen that the status of this minister surnamed Wen is higher than everyone imagined.
"I just want to ask..."
At this moment, a young voice sounded in everyone's ears. In front of the court envoys, Wang Chong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:
"May I ask who are Lord Wen, Lord Tang, and Lord Li?"
Wang Chong's words were flat and calm, but in an instant, the surroundings became quiet in an instant. All eyes, including the coveted civil servant named Wen, fell silent and fell on Wang Chong.
"These are them!"
Finally, the minister surnamed Wen turned his head and stretched out his fingers to several figures behind him. Wang Chong followed the man's fingers and saw three figures with huge aura at a glance. These people rode war horses and were dressed in Confucianism. They looked solemn and restrained, but the power contained in their bodies was actually stronger than Cheng Qianli who was in the form of a desolate god.
Wang Chong can also be regarded as an important minister of the military, with a prominent reputation, almost everyone in the world knows him.
These three people are so powerful, with Wang Chong's identity, it is logically impossible not to know about them, but Wang Chong has no impression of these three people at all.
In the entire military, Wang Chong has never seen any information about them. If it wasn't mentioned in the imperial decree, Wang Chong wouldn't even know their names. In Wang Chong's capacity, this is simply unbelievable.
——These people seem to have popped out of the ground.
However, at the next moment, Wang Chong inadvertently glanced at the wrist of one of them, and Wang Chong's eyelids twitched suddenly. On his wrist, Wang Chong clearly saw a black mark, and almost at the same time, that The person seemed to have sensed Wang Chong's gaze, and with a flick of his wrist, the large sleeve of the toga slipped down, covering the ink marks on his wrist without a trace.
"My lord, it is the imperial court's decree. After receiving the imperial decree, please immediately hand over your military power and leave immediately to return to the capital. This is the consistent rule of the imperial court, and it is also His Majesty's will. Please cooperate with your lord Wang!"
At this moment, the minister surnamed Wen suddenly stepped forward and spoke in front of Wang Chong.
His expression was rigid, and he spoke without the slightest emotion, just as if he was doing things according to the rules.
"Wait a minute! You're still being unreasonable!"
"My lord has just received the imperial decree, what do you mean by letting him go now!"
"Who are you guys? I don't think you are here to read out the imperial decree, but to snatch military power!"
...
All around, Wang Chong's subordinates were all agitated, even the Khorasan soldiers felt something strange, they all became agitated and complained for Wang Chong.
"Master Wang, don't leave, Khorasan needs you!"
The generals of the rebel army around them also became anxious. Although these wars seem to be the result of the concerted efforts of the Khorasan people, the various rebel armies, and the Great Tang, everyone knows that the reason why everyone has the confidence to fight against the entire Great Cannibal is because of this Great Tang. The young Hou.
Although he looks young, only seventeen years old, he is the real backbone of everyone in Khorasan.
It was he who strategized again and again, calm and prepared at any time, inspired everyone, and made everyone deeply believe that no matter how strong the enemy they faced, they would definitely win the final victory. Without Wang Chong in charge of Khorasan, everyone couldn't even imagine how they would face the fierce attacks of the Dashi Empire in the future.
