Chapter 1224 Provocation!

Chapter 1224

"Taichangqing and Zhou Taiqin have met Lord Hou!"

Not long after the people sent by King Qi left, a loud voice suddenly sounded from the crowd. With a slight movement in Wang Chong's heart, he stopped abruptly and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

The crowd parted, and a figure with fluttering skirts and long sleeves came up from behind with a calm and calm pace.

And almost at the same time, behind him, another figure also followed:

"The servant of the household department, Zheng Chengli, pay homage to Lord Hou!"

The two stayed behind for an unknown how long, until now, one in front of the other, came forward calmly. And in all directions, hearing these two names, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

"My lords, don't be too polite."

Wang Chong looked at the two and said calmly.

For a moment, there was silence in front of the entire city gate. When Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli were looking at Wang Chong, Wang Chong was also looking at the two court ministers seriously.

During the Battle of Talas, Abmus/Lin and Qudibo jointly commanded an army of hundreds of thousands and marched all the way east. At this most critical moment, Wang Chong and Gao Xianzhi almost died in Talas due to insufficient troops. On the issue of sending troops, the two court ministers, Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli, were the two most vocal opponents in the court.

If Jiang Yuanrang and Cao Qianzong hadn't argued for reason in the court, and grandfather Jiugong had come forward to turn the tide, I am afraid that the entire Tang Dynasty, from the Western Regions to Qixi, and then to Longxi, would all fall into the hands of big cannibals.

"The young Hou has made great military exploits in the west today, and was even crowned king of a foreign land by His Majesty. This kind of favor is unprecedented. When Hou Ye returned to the capital, almost half of the ministers in the court and the entire family in the capital came to welcome him. , but I can't help but want to ask a question, Talas fought hard for a long time, coupled with the two major battles in Khorasan, the Tang Dynasty spent a lot of money, and the casualties reached as many as 100,000 soldiers, and for these two wars, halfway The number of civilian husbands and civil servants mobilized has reached hundreds of thousands, don’t you feel ashamed of the young Marquis? Once you have achieved success, is the Marquis really so at ease with the position of king of foreign lands?”

boom!

Hearing what Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli said, everyone around the city gate changed their faces.

Wang Chong came back with a big victory, just at the time when he was full of vigor, civil and military officials from all over the court came to congratulate him, even the king of Qi knew how to avoid his sharp edge, so he only sent a small official over, with a pun and a secret sarcasm, but no one was like Zhou Taiqin, Like Zheng Chengli, he dared to accuse Wang Chong directly in front of him.

"One general succeeds and ten thousand bones die", this sentence is a big taboo in front of generals, because it is undoubtedly accusing these generals represented by Wang Chong of relying on the dead to promote.

The atmosphere became tense in an instant, even more tense than when King Qi's people appeared before.

"presumptuous!"

Before Wang Chong could speak, Jiang Yuanrang and Cao Qianzong beside him couldn't help scolding. In the court dispute that day, the conflict between the two and Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli was the most intense.

"Zhou Taiqin, Zheng Chengli! What do you two mean? The young Marquis led the soldiers outside, risking their lives and fighting bloody battles. Is it wrong for you to come here? Do you have to be happy if the court loses the battle!"

The two were irritated by what Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli said. Arguing in court is fine,

The two of them never imagined that the court battle had been over for so long, and the two actually moved the battlefield from the court to the city gate, and even challenged Wang Chong directly in front of so many people.

"Hmph, right and wrong, right is right, wrong is wrong, do we have to divide the time? Is it possible that when the young man returns to Beijing, the black will become white, and the straight will become square? It's not us Hope to win the battle is just the result of the efforts of many people in the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and now the imperial court is sacrificing its resources and resorting to war, even if it has made great military exploits, what is there to celebrate?"

Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli took a step forward, saying calmly and fearlessly.

Wang Chong was not present at the crucial court battle that day, and Jiu Gong's reputation was far higher than the two of them. The two had long wanted to find an opportunity to argue with Wang Chong face to face. Now Wang Chong returned to the capital with great difficulty, and there were civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty watching, how could the two let them go easily.

"Are the two adults finished?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the ear, stopping Jiang Yuanrang and Cao Qianzong who were about to speak for Wang Chong.

The corner of Wang Chong's clothes swayed, and he slowly walked two steps forward. At that moment, his eyes were extremely sharp, and a powerful aura erupted from him.

Since ancient times, with a single brush, he has sketched life and death, no matter how great the credit is, it can be invisible. Therefore, even if he is criticized, few generals will argue with him. Only this time, Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli met Wang Chong.

"Zhou Taiqin would like to hear your lord's opinion."

Seeing Wang Chong's appearance, Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli not only did not give in at all, but their robes trembled, and they moved forward two steps. All around, everyone's expressions were suffocated. With Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli's actions, today's affairs may not be easy.

"My opinion is only two words, pedantic!"

Wang Chong stared at the two and said coldly. There is a saying that literati misuse the country. Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli may have good intentions, but in many cases, it is precisely this kind of "good intentions" that destroys an empire and drags countless lives into dire disasters.

"Young man!"

Hearing those two words from Wang Chong's mouth, Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli stared at each other and bristled with anger. Even Jiang Yuanrang and Cao Qianzong were frightened by Wang Chong's words.

The word "pedantic" can't be more appropriate to describe those rigid and old-fashioned civil servants in the court. But even the Great Tang God of War like Prince Shaobao Wang Zhongsi would not dare to speak out in front of Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli.

It has nothing to do with the position, but a taboo, which is tantamount to offending many civil servants. No one thought that Wang Chong would say that.

"Young man, if you don't give an explanation, even if you come back with a big victory today, don't blame me and Brother Zheng for reading your book, accusing you of being shameless in words and deeds, and being arrogant because of petting, and pulling you in front of the Holy One. Make a comment!"

Zhou Taiqin's expression was serious, and he stared at Wang Chong, as if he wanted to swallow Wang Chong.

"Wow!"

When the surrounding crowd saw this scene, there was an uproar. A good welcome ceremony, no one would have expected it to turn out like this. If it is not done well, a celebration banquet may turn into a court dispute.

"Since the two adults want to hear it, then I will tell you. Love has big love and small love, loyalty has small loyalty, and there is also big loyalty. Little lovers love father, brother, and relatives. The top is filial piety, and the bottom is friendship. Big love Lover, loves family and country, loves the world, respects oneself and others, and treats all people in the world as one's own father, brother, and relatives."

When Wang Chong opened his mouth, everyone was shocked:

"Loyalty has small loyalty, and there is great loyalty. Small loyalty, self-restraint and observance of etiquette, loyalty and responsibility, to assist the king, and down to comfort the people. Great loyalty, appease the world, focus on the present, think about the next ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years, Worrying is not only for the current society and the people, but also for generations to come!"

Wang Chong looked at the two people in front of him and said, with simple words, not only Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli, but even the other people around were shocked. "Big love and little love, little loyalty and great loyalty", Wang Chong's words were never heard before.

"The number of casualties in the Battle of Talas has indeed reached 100,000, and hundreds of thousands of civilians and civil servants were spent, but if Datang fails in this battle, have you thought about the consequences? "

Wang Chong stared at the two of them with extremely sharp eyes.

"At that time, the casualties would probably not be hundreds of thousands, but hundreds of thousands, or even millions. Have you ever thought about it, if the big cannibals were allowed to break through Taluosi, advance all the way to Longxi along the Western Regions, and threaten the capital, what do you think? What will be the consequences?!"

Wang Chong's voice was deafening. Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli were stunned. They opened their mouths and wanted to say something, but they couldn't say a word.

"It really has come to that point, the blood is bleeding, the red land is thousands of miles away, and the whole middle land is turned into a field of Shura's blood. I am afraid that it is not a few adults who impeach here, make a long speech, and argue hard. It can be saved. The two-phase victim However, compared to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in the battle of Talas, you veterans in the court are the real harm to the country and the enemy of the people. Something happened, did you bear it?"

In the last sentence, Wang Chong's voice was deafening and resounding.

"!!!"

Hearing Wang Chong's words, Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli were stunned, unable to speak a word.

What they talked about with Wang Chong was the difference between civil and martial arts, but what Wang Chong talked about with them was the terrible danger they would face after losing this war. No one could deny this.

Even Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli had to admit that before the war, everyone underestimated the strength of this big food. If a million cavalry rushed into the inland, the consequences would be unimaginable to everyone.

"Zhou Taiqin, Zheng Chengli, are you still not stepping down?"

At this time, Jiang Yuanrang and Cao Qianzong also spoke:

"You rotten scholars only know war and peace, you only know how many people have worked and rested, but you have never thought about what the consequences would be without these efforts. At least, now all the people who have worked and rested are still alive, never From Longxi to Anxi, millions of people were saved."

"And as for the funds, the young Hou has already handed over one billion taels of gold to the imperial court. This wealth has far exceeded our consumption in the war. Not to mention facing such a powerful opponent and such a huge war, the young Hou Compared with the previous ones, the mobilized people and civilian husbands are very few."

"——From the capital to Suiye City, the road is thousands of miles long, and countless people were mobilized, but all the expenses were paid by the young man and all the big families. If you mean so many mobilized This is what you are referring to, so you should resign and hang your seals now to thank the world."

Jiang Yuanrang and Cao Qianzong couldn't bear it at last.
