Chapter 1222 Zero Officials Line the Way!
Chapter 1222
"Old Ancestor, wait a minute, your body is not as strong as before, let us support you!"
As soon as the old man moved, the two young men behind him rushed over with sweat on their faces, trying to help the old man, but they were thrown away.
"Hahaha, so what if your body is not good enough. Today, my hero of the Tang Dynasty is triumphant. Even if my old man loses two legs today, I must stand here and wait for him to come back!"
The old man laughed heartily, his eyebrows trembling, and he smiled like a child.
Seeing that figure, Wang Chong's heart felt hot, and the thick ice in his heart melted a lot. He immediately stepped forward and hurriedly greeted him:
"Senior Duan, what you said will really upset this junior, so let me support you."
With a stride, Wang Chong quickly supported the old man in front of him. Over the age of 80, the only person Wang Chong respected so much was the old censor Duan Cao who had a strong temperament, a stern face, and who never tolerated half a grain of sand in his eyes.
In the Southwest War, Wang Chong returned victorious. Because Wang Chong was not a member of the army and was not in the army roster, many people made a fuss about this and attacked Wang Chong. At that time, the leader was Duan Qian of the Duan family. But at this time, no one thought that Duan Cao, the old imperial censor of the Duan family, would actually come forward in person, destroy his relatives righteously, and slap Duan Qian, paving the way for Wang Chong to finally reward the young prince.
Right and wrong, have their own opinions, right is right, wrong is wrong, even if it is his own family, if they do something wrong, the old censor will not show any mercy, this is what Wang Chong deeply respects and admires.
Returning to Beijing this time, Wang Chong did not expect that the old censor Duan Cao would greet him personally at the city gate.
"Hahaha, boy Wang Chong, you are treating one person more favorably than another. Old man, I am no younger than old man Duan. Come on, help me too."
At this moment, another old voice came from behind. Wang Chong turned his head and saw another old man with a white head and white beard striding forward from behind.
"Senior Deng!"
Wang Chong gave a wry smile, took a steep step forward, and immediately grabbed Duan Cao and the old censor Deng Chang at the same time.
Deng Chang's age was not younger than Duan Cao's. Both of them were octogenarians. They were also veterans of the former court.
For these two people, Wang Chong respected them extremely.
"You two old men, you are both old and not young, and you are still tossing the younger generation like this. During this Western Expedition, this child was born to death and almost died outside. Do you still have the heart to toss him like this?"
Just when Wang Chong was embarrassed in front of the two old censors, a voice suddenly came from behind. The old censor Lu Ji looked at the two and shook his head.
In just a few moments, three famous old censors of the Tang Empire gathered together. Seeing the appearance of the old censor Lu Ji, the two old censors, Duan Cao and Deng Chang, put away their smiles and looked serious.
"Wang Chong, it was us old men who teased you just now. The Battle of Talas, you did not fall into my Datang's courage and reputation. No matter what other people think of you, I, old Duan Cao, remember you! My Great Tang Having a child like you is the thing we old men are most proud of. Old man, I have already said that you, Wang Chong, are an eternal role model for my Duan clan. enemy,
There is one such unworthy descendant, and I, Duan Cao, will expel one! "
The old censor Duan Cao finally put away his smile and said with a straight face. Although he said these words to Wang Chong in front of Wang Chong, his gaze was fixed on the group of people behind him.
"good!"
Almost at the same time, the old censor Deng Chang on the side also nodded vigorously:
"Those who have made meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and those who have done wrong must be punished. Datang will never forget those who have made contributions to the country and society. No matter what others think of you, I, Deng Chang, will always support you just like old man Duan. Young man , never get discouraged!"
As the old censor said, he patted Wang Chong's shoulder hard.
"Haha, count me in for this kind of thing!"
The old censor Lu Ji beside him stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Wang Chong looked at the three people with white beard and hair in front of him, and was moved in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly understood why the three of them appeared here.
"Three seniors, thank you!"
Wang Chong said sincerely:
"Wang Chong doesn't think he has made any achievements, but Wang Chong will always remember what the three seniors said today. No matter when, I will never be discouraged, let alone give up hope."
"Haha, good! It's enough to have your words today! It's not in vain for us three old fellows to show embarrassment and rely on the old to sell the old at the gate of this city!"
In front of many ministers of civil and military affairs, the three old censors stroked their beards with gratified expressions.
Before the Holy Emperor, when the First Emperor was still there, the three old censors represented the most noble qualities in the whole world, integrity, fearlessness, and justice! In that turbulent era, the three old men straightened their backs and used their bodies to lift up the sky of the Tang Dynasty and the spirit of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they still influence generations of people today.
Looking around the world, with the harsh eyes of the three of them, there is almost no one who can satisfy them, not in the past, not in the past, and now..., there is only one Wang Chong!
It was also because of this that the three of them could not tolerate anyone being unfavorable to Wang Chong.
In their octogenarian years, the three performed in front of so many people in order to protect Wang Chong.
But after hearing the words of the three old censors, many people's expressions had already become extremely ugly.
"Three old censors, although I don't object to you occupying the young man like this, but look at the back, it's rare for a young man to turn around today, and almost all the dignitaries in the capital came to welcome them, you don't want them to even hand over their hands. I can’t even send out the presents.”
At this moment, a clear voice came from behind, quickly attracting everyone's attention.
Wang Chong followed the prestige, and saw an old man wearing a green robe, gentle and well-educated, with a pen in one hand and paper in the other, walking towards the crowd, writing something quickly with the pen in his hand.
This old man doesn't seem to be as old as Duan Cao, Deng Chang, and Lu Ji, but he is at least over seventy years old. Wang Chong doesn't think he has seen him before, but judging from his clothes and temperament , and the pen and paper in his hand, Wang Chong still quickly remembered someone.
"Tai Shi Ling Yan's article!"
The Yan family has mastered the writing of history books in all dynasties, and no matter how the dynasties change, they are hereditary. The Yan family rarely produces high officials, but the position of Taishi Ling and the writing of history books are rarely compared. They are more competent. This is why every dynasty is established, they will quickly find the Yan family and let them be responsible for the work of Taishi Ling.
"Boy Yan, even if I dominate him today, what can you do?"
The majestic Taishi Ling Yan Wenzhang, iron pen Dan Shu, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are not afraid of three points, and scholars do not use swords to kill, but Duan Cao, Deng Chang, and Lu Ji are just "Yan Boys" here. That being said, the three of them still stepped back and stepped aside.
——The task of the three of them has been completed, and there is no need to stop others.
"Young man!"
Yan Wenzhang also walked over from behind at this time, staring at Wang Chong in front of him, with rays of light flashing in his eyes:
"Although the old man has always opposed war, this time, you have indeed made great contributions. Don't worry, I will definitely record your achievements in the annals of history and pass them down from generation to generation!"
Behind them, when they heard Yan Wenzhang's words, there were bursts of exclamations from the crowd. It was something that countless civil servants and generals dreamed of all their lives to be praised by the Taishi Ling and recorded in the history books. Just based on Yan Wenzhang's words, Wang Chong Enough to be proud, all the sacrifices made during the Western Expedition were not in vain.
"Mr. Yan, I'm afraid you made a mistake on one point!"
Wang Chong looked at Yan Wenzhang in front of him, and suddenly said something that no one expected:
"Wang Chong went on an expedition to Talas, fought the big cannibals, conquered Khorasan all the way, and threatened Baghdad, the imperial capital of the big cannibals. His purpose was never to leave a name in history, nor to make his alchemy shine."
"Buzz!"
Hearing Wang Chong's words, Taishi Ling Yan Wenzhang suddenly looked astonished, and the surroundings were as silent as death. Even Duan Cao, Deng Chang, and Lu Ji who were beside him were stunned. And in front, in front of the carriage, there was a dense crowd of civil servants and generals, nobles from aristocratic families who were even more silent, unable to speak a single word.
No matter how powerful a military general is, he can't match a pen and a mouth in the hands of a civil servant. The military generals conquer the frontier and forget to die. In addition to fame and wealth, and serving the country, the most hopeful thing is to leave a name in the history of Danshu, and be admired by future generations. This is beyond any merit.
The reason why Taishiling has a special status and is respected by civil servants and generals is because of this. But in front of many ministers, Wang Chong actually said that he didn't care at all, and everyone couldn't help but feel astonished.
"Young man, forgive me for talking too much, I don't know what the young man wants in his heart?"
Yan Wenzhang suddenly said seriously, with more curiosity in his eyes.
"Do your best and be ashamed of your heart!"
Wang Chong said indifferently, only said eight words.
Tai Shiling Yan Wenzhang was stunned for a moment, his brows were slightly frowned, and there was a slightly thoughtful look in his eyes. Wang Chong's simple eight words immediately made the audience fall into silence, and even Deng Chang seemed to be thinking about it.
Wang Chong didn't say a word. Only he knew the ambition in his heart. Whether it was leaving a name in history or revealing a high-ranking official, it was never what he wanted. He deeply knew what kind of danger this world was facing. What Wang Chong did after rebirth in two lives was to do his best and never give up.
This is true whether it is the battle of Nanzhao or the battle of Talas.
Wang Chong didn't know what the final result would be. He only knew that even at the last moment, he would never give up, let alone leave any regrets.
