Chapter 1229 Entering the Palace to Meet the Saint!
Chapter 1229
Coming out of the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion, Wang Chong didn't stay any longer this time, and went straight back to the mansion.
"Chong'er, you are finally back!"
The entrance of the Wang family's mansion was brightly lit. Wang Chong's mother, Mrs. Zhao, had been waiting at the entrance with a few maidservants. Seeing Wang Chong's thin appearance, she hugged Wang Chong into her arms and wept with joy. There is no mother in the world who does not love her child. No matter how prestigious Wang Chong is outside, whether he is a king or a marquis, in the eyes of a mother, she will always be that child who is a bit willful and mischievous and needs to be taken care of by herself.
When the family was reunited, Mrs. Zhao didn't ask anything, but just cooked a sumptuous dinner and watched Wang Chong finish eating.
Nothing happened overnight, after the dinner party, Wang Chong returned to his room. The Wang family's mansion is like an invisible barrier, blocking all the ups and downs and court disputes from outside the courtyard wall. Wang Chong also didn't want to bring the affairs of the court home.
"what is going on?"
In the dead of night, Wang Chong sat cross-legged on the bed by himself, with his eyes slightly closed, and his heart went up and down. Everything started from Khorasan, including the news Qixi received, the meeting with Ge Shuhan, the people I met at the gate of the capital city, the things that happened, including the relationship with the uncle, the old housekeeper, and Zhangchou Jianqiong. During the conversation, all the news was exhaustive, and they all passed through Wang Chong's mind. Every detail was magnified countless times in Wang Chong's mind, and he observed it repeatedly.
In the dark, Wang Chong thought of the three Confucian masters who took over his military power in Khorasan, and the marks on their wrists.
In an instant, something seemed to come to Wang Chong's mind.
"Is it them? Could it be them?"
Wang Chong muttered to himself, vaguely understanding something, but there were still too many doubts in Wang Chong's mind.
"Cuckoo!"
While meditating, suddenly, there was a sound of vibrating wings in the night sky, accompanied by the hooting of owls. Hearing the screams, Wang Chong came back to his senses in an instant.
"come in!"
Wang Chong blinked, sat cross-legged on the bed, and said calmly.
It was quiet outside the room, except for the sound of the night wind blowing, there was no sound coming out, but soon, when people thought that there was no one outside, the door of Wang Chong's room suddenly opened, and a flexible figure came from Suddenly jumped in through the crack of the door.
"I've seen Lord Hou!"
Just five or six steps away from Wang Chong, the figure stopped abruptly. The figure was tall and burly, with a huge eagle parked on the left shoulder, the body was bent, and the expression was respectful.
"Eagle, did you find anything?"
Wang Chong said suddenly, revealing the identity of the other party.
In the middle of the night, the person who suddenly broke into the Wang family's mansion was the eagle who was left behind by Wang Chong in the capital to take care of him after the Southwest War.
After Wang Chong went north to Wushang, he seldom used the eagle, but this is not to say that the eagle is not important. On the contrary, the eagle has been carrying out a mission according to Wang Chong's instructions. This time, returning to Beijing is turbulent. , Dangerous, the first thing Wang Chong thought of was to recall the Eagles, and his newly trained...intelligence team!
"Lord Hou, according to your instructions, from the moment you arrive at the capital and appear at the gate of the city,
We have already placed a large number of eyeliners, and everything is under surveillance, including those few strange officials. After Lord Hou left, we sent people to track down those few small officials who spoke rudely and looked very strange and secretive. "
The eagle bowed and said in a deep voice.
"Have you found out their whereabouts? And their identities?"
Wang Chong asked.
The eagle hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head:
"No! Our people tracked the past all the way, and it didn't take long before we lost contact, as if they had evaporated out of thin air. These people are top players I personally trained, and they are very experienced. When Lord Hou was away, I used to send them Take them to Beiting and Youzhou for training, and they all successfully completed the tasks. They are just a few small officials. Normally, they will not miss at all, so after I got the news, I have been tracking them down. Until now, after a few hours, I They found their bodies in the moat outside the city!"
"Buzz!"
Hearing Eagle's words, Wang Chong's eyelids jumped, and he frowned abruptly.
During the day, the two small officials, especially the one who provoked Wang Chong, looked really abnormal. Wang Chong asked Lao Ying to send people to follow them, and it was just a test, but he didn't expect this to be the result. If the other party really has no problem and is really an official in the court, this kind of thing obviously won't happen.
"Where did the clues of the last search go?"
Wang Chong was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
"East of the city!"
The eagle said respectfully.
"Understood, you go down."
Wang Chong nodded and said.
"Master Hou, don't worry, no matter what, I will find a way to find those two little officials!"
Eagle took Wang Chong's expression into his eyes and said solemnly.
Now there is a turbulent undercurrent in the court, and a huge force seems to be deliberately targeting Lord Hou. It has even become so arrogant that it has begun to send people to pretend to be officials to provoke and insult Wang Chong at the gate of the city. This has already spread among Wang Chong's subordinates in the capital, and this is something that Lao Ying and the others absolutely cannot tolerate. Whoever dares to deal with Wang Chong will be an enemy of all of them.
"knew."
Wang Chong waved his hand:
"The murdered spy, send someone to meet his family and give them a pension. If there is any difficulty in the family, try to help them solve it. As for the others, don't startle the snake for the time being. I have my own ideas in my heart. "
Wang Chong said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
The eagle quickly left the room, just like when it came, quietly, without disturbing anyone.
As he was meditating, the night passed quickly. At dawn, Wang Chong was still meditating in his room amidst the sound of drums and music. A maid beside his mother, blushing, rushed all the way into Wang Chong's room.
"Master, people from the imperial court are here! The old lady told you to go see them right away!"
Right at the gate of Wang's mansion, Wang Chong saw an envoy sent by the imperial court.
"Master Hou, please! Today is your day of great joy. Please take a bath and change your clothes, and go to face the saint with us! The documents of the Ministry of Rites have been prepared. When you have met the saint, you will start to announce the world and officially canonize you For the king of foreign lands!"
At the gate, an eunuch in brocade clothes who seemed to be aged was full of joy and couldn't help saying. Behind him, the Jinwu Guard, the Imperial Forest Army, the City Defense Department, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of the Honglu Temple all stood respectfully, all of them came to welcome Wang Chong.
The so-called "conferring the king and worshiping the prince", once it involves the princely level, all the canonization ceremonies need to be communicated to the world. Only after the face of the saint, the approval of the emperor, and the announcement of the Ministry of Rites, can Wang Chong be regarded as the real king of foreign lands. This is the basic etiquette for the canonization of princes in the Tang Dynasty.
"I'm sorry for the father-in-law!"
Wang Chong bathed and changed his clothes. He changed into the red dress he wore when he was a Marquis. He quickly boarded the palace sedan chair and headed for the palace.
It was still early, and only a little bit of light appeared in the east, but the streets were already crowded with people, and all the people who got the news were waiting on both sides of the street early to welcome them. After staying in the capital for a long time, the people in the capital already knew the conventions of conferring princes and princes.
"Look! The young man! The young man is going to face the holy canon!"
"Are you still talking about the young man? Now he is the king of a foreign land! I am the first king with a different surname canonized by the Great Tang of China!"
"Hahaha, only such a hero is worthy of the title of King of Foreign Lands! Great hero! This is the real great hero of our middle-earth! Everyone, look!"
...
The crowd surrounded both sides of the street, each of them was full of enthusiasm and joy, and the atmosphere was more lively than a festival. What happened at the gate of the city yesterday has already spread like the wind throughout the capital, and now Wang Chong is like the sun in the capital.
"I'm coming!"
Just as Wang Chong was advancing all the way in the palace sedan chair, the crowd in front suddenly shouted excitedly.
Sitting in the palace sedan chair, Wang Chong heard a loud noise before he could react. Boom, amidst the appalling cheers, a bright firework suddenly rose into the sky. In the morning light, the firework rushed to the sky tens of meters away, exploded violently, and turned into thousands of bright fireworks. Boom, followed by the second firework, and the third..., but in an instant, the sky above the capital immediately turned into a sea of gorgeous fireworks, attracting the attention of countless people.
And amidst the shocking sound of fireworks and explosions, there was a dense crackling sound of firecrackers soon. Not one place or two places, but the entire capital, in all directions.
"Foreign King!"
"Foreign King!"
The cheers were earth-shattering. Sitting in the palace sedan chair, Wang Chong could hear the deafening cheers of the people.
"To be so loved by the common people, in the past hundred years, I am afraid that there will only be a young man in Tang Dynasty!"
Seeing the people on both sides of the street getting up early and lining the road to welcome them, the leading eunuch in brocade clothes turned his head and looked at the palace sedan chair Wang Chong was riding with envious expressions.
The Jinwu guards escorting him on both sides also had respectful faces. A man who has made great achievements has his ambitions in all directions. Wang Chong's achievements in the West are exactly what all men and all soldiers dream of all their lives. In an instant, everyone's waists became straighter.
Wang Chong sat still in the palace sedan chair, and all the details fell into his perception. Hearing the tide of cheers, Wang Chong let out a long sigh in his heart.
These people in Beijing don't know anything yet, and they don't have any awareness of the coming crisis, but this is precisely their cuteness.
The reason why Wang Chong did his best to conquer the north and the south, and generation after generation of generals, throwing their heads and blood, was not precisely for this reason?
Along the way, Wang Chong's palace sedan passed through the streets and alleys and finally entered the palace amidst the cheers of the people shaking the sky. Boom, as the two huge golden palace doors were closed heavily, all the sounds were completely isolated, as if entering from one world to another.
The surroundings were quiet, Wang Chong was sitting in the palace sedan chair, his mind was racing one after another, and countless thoughts flashed in an instant. Bang, I don't know how long it took, suddenly, the palace sedan was slightly shaken, and suddenly stopped.
