Chapter 1233: The Phoenix and the Sparrow Also Have Their Origins!
Chapter 1233
"Don't worry, he will definitely come out to meet you!"
Seemingly knowing what Zhang Que was thinking, Wang Chong didn't raise his head.
The commotion in the Zhou Mansion subsided quickly, and the whole mansion soon became quiet again.
Time passed slowly, and just when Zhang Que thought that Wang Chong had made a mistake in his judgment, there was a sudden sound of dense footsteps. Through the opened gate of the Zhou Mansion, Zhang Que saw a man wearing a plain hat and blue plain clothes at a glance. A middle-aged scribe, with a pale face, came out from inside with a group of servants and servants. When he was walking, he lowered his head slightly and stared at the ground, looking distracted and uneasy.
Walking all the way, when there were thirty or forty steps away from the gate, a servant seemed to remind him, and the middle-aged scribe came back to his senses, straightened his clothes, and quickly greeted Wang Chong and the others.
"The king of an unknown foreign land is here, and Zhou is far away to welcome him. I hope the prince will forgive me."
Zhou Wenchen raised his sleeves, saluted with his hands, and said respectfully.
"Your Majesty Zhou is being polite, won't you invite me in to sit down for a while?"
Wang Chong said calmly.
"oh!"
Zhou Wenchen came to his senses as if waking up from a dream, and quickly turned sideways to quote:
"My lord, please, please, please!"
After saying three words of invitation in a row, Zhou Wenchen led the king into the inner mansion.
enter the lobby,
Everything looked weird. The servant girl was weird, her face was pale, the servant at the door was weird, her expression was extremely unnatural, even Zhou Wenchen was weird, sitting there felt like a needle felt.
"Master Zhou is not going to say it yet?"
Wang Chong picked up the teacup on the table, lifted the lid of the tea, gently wiped the tea foam floating on it, and said.
Hearing these words, the maidservant's face turned pale, and Zhou Wenchen's face turned blue and white.
"well!"
With a long sigh, Zhou Wenchen suddenly stood up, like a prisoner before execution. After a night of torment, facing the coming fate, he finally chose to face it calmly.
"My lord, Zhou Wenchen has nothing to say about this matter. It is Zhou Wenchen who is sorry for the lord. No matter how the lord punishes him, Zhou will face it calmly and will never have any complaints."
After Zhou Wenchen said this, he bent down respectfully, and his whole body was bent at ninety degrees.
Wang Chong was the supreme commander of the Tang Dynasty in Khorasan, and he was the acting governor of Qixi. Because of the rebellion of Zhou Wenchen and others, Wang Chong's military power was taken away, and his position as acting governor of Qixi was also withdrawn. Rose's hard work of fighting for several months was wiped out overnight. It can be said that Wang Chong was the most direct victim of the whole incident. Zhou Wenchen may not see King Song, or Wang Gen, but he will never be able to avoid Wang Chong. As a civil servant, he upholds Confucian etiquette and righteousness, but in this matter, he is not virtuous, which is one of the reasons why Wang Chong is sure that he will meet him.
"Master Zhou, you are really good."
At this moment, a voice came from the side, Zhang Que looked at Zhou Wenchen and snorted coldly, his voice was full of hostility and resentment. Back in Qixi, it was because of these people that Wang Chong was so angry that he spurted blood and fainted. Zhang Que still remembers this incident. In my heart, I don't have a good impression of these people.
What's more, those traitorous ministers like Zhou Wenchen did the most despicable treachery in the hearts of Zhang Que and others.
"enough!"
Wang Chong waved his hand to stop Zhang Que.
"Master Zhou, so this is your explanation?"
Wang Chong put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly.
"My lord, Zhou also has some unavoidable difficulties. Zhou and King Song have known each other for many years. Whether it is for King Song or King Wang Gen, I have always admired him very much. The prince galloped on the battlefield in foreign lands, wiped out foreign enemies, and promoted our country. Zhou also Praise for the prince. If you can, please believe that Zhou will never do it."
"Nonsense! Didn't you still do it! Is this your explanation? Do you know how many brothers we have sacrificed to deal with Dashi up to this point, throwing our heads and blood, and dying on foreign battlefields? Is such a last resort?"
Zhang Que said angrily. If it was normal, he would never be so excited, but this time things are different, half a year of hard work has been wiped out, and Zhou Wenchen's demeanor is still so flat, which makes Zhang Que completely unacceptable.
"Zhang Que!"
Wang Chong glanced at Zhang Que, stopped him, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Wenchen:
"So, who instigated Lord Zhou, and who made Lord Zhou change his mind, can't all of these be right?"
"My lord's forgiveness is not because Zhou doesn't want to say it, but because Zhou can't say it."
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Que became angrier and glared at Zhou Wenchen, but Wang Chong seemed to understand something, and pressed his hands on the armrest:
"Understood, Zhang Que, let's go!"
After Wang Chong finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and stepped out immediately, ignoring Zhou Wenchen. Let alone Zhang Que in this scene, even Zhou Wenchen was stunned, speechless for a long time. Today is the day of Wang Chong's canonization. Almost everyone in the capital knows that Wang Chong appeared in Zhou Mansion at this time. Zhou Wenchen originally thought that Wang Chong was aggressive and came to question his teacher, but he didn't expect to say a few words. Just left, even Zhou Wenchen was stunned.
"Wait a moment!"
Just when Wang Chong crossed the threshold, Zhou Wenchen finally couldn't help but let out a cry.
"Does Master Zhou have anything else to say?"
Wang Chong stopped, turned his back to the hall, and said calmly.
"My lord, this matter is indeed Zhou's fault, and I owe Song King and His Excellency Wang's entrustment, but the phoenix bird's carving of a bird also has its origins. If the lord and His Highness Song have any complaints in their hearts, feel free to come to Zhou. Let's go! Let Zhou's family go."
"Don't worry, we haven't done this yet."
After Wang Chong finished speaking, he stepped through the gate and disappeared outside. Behind him, Zhou Wenchen breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed respectfully:
"Zhou Wenchen, thank you, my lord!"
...
Coming out of Zhou's mansion, Zhang Que was still a little resentful:
"My lord, should we just let him go like this? It is said that literati have a strong character. This kind of person is simply chilling."
"Let him go. Everyone has their own difficulties. It is impossible to deny him because he did a wrong thing."
Wang Chong said calmly, far less excited than Zhang Que.
"But this bastard didn't say a word. He caused the adult's official position to be cut, the military power was taken away, and all the efforts of the brothers were wiped out. Wouldn't it be too cheap to let him go like this? Our trip Didn't it come in vain?"
Zhang Que said unfairly.
"Who said he didn't say it?"
Wang Chong asked back.
"ah?"
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Que was stunned. He was by his side during the entire meeting between Zhou Wenchen and Wang Chong. Except for evading, Zhou Wenchen also found a lot of difficulties and reasons. He didn't confide a word about other things. Wang Chong said he confided something, how is this possible? Zhang Que thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember anything useful that Zhou Wenchen said.
"Zhang Que, sometimes you don't say it, but you just say it. There are some things that don't have to be said. And didn't he say it when he left in the end? Fengniao also has a history."
After Wang Chong said this, he swung his sleeves and stepped onto the carriage, leaving Zhang Que standing behind him, unable to recover for a while.
"The phoenix and the sparrow have their own origins... What exactly does this mean!"
Zhang Que muttered to himself, but he didn't understand. Although he was in charge of intelligence work, he was far behind Wang Chong in terms of allusions.
"Don't think too much, let's go, go back home."
Wang Chong's voice came from the carriage.
Zhang Que was shocked, and immediately stepped into the carriage, whipped the whip, and the two horses immediately pulled the carriage towards Wang's house. The sound of carriage wheels echoed in the street, while Wang Chong sat motionless in the carriage, lost in thought.
"The phoenix bird cuts the sparrow", this is an allusion from the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, there was a witchcraft disaster in the palace, which was widely involved, and even the three divisions were interrogated. Ren and cloth people, and finally traced to a maid in the palace. The court lady was tortured, and she said a word before she died, that is, "The phoenix cuts the sparrow, love is not what you want."
"So, is it because of this?"
A thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind. The phoenix and the bird were persecuted, but how many people in the entire court could persecute Zhou Wenchen. At that moment, Wang Chong vaguely thought of something.
"Now, it's time for me to act! No matter who you are, I will definitely find you out!"
Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.
Time passed slowly, and Wang Chong returned to the mansion. At nightfall, an eagle climbed over the courtyard wall and flew into the Wang family mansion. Soon, Zhang Que hurriedly knocked on Wang Chong's door with a letter. .
"My lord, it's not good! The master just sent the news that Zhou Wenchen had submitted his resignation to the court. He asked to resign and go home because he was unwell, and the court had approved it. Just now the master sent someone to investigate Tan, now the Zhou Mansion has been evacuated."
Zhang Que knelt on the ground on one knee and said in a deep voice.
"knew!"
Wang Chong sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced silently, with a calm expression.
"My lord, now is the best time to ask Zhou Wenchen for the news of the day, or we will send someone to arrest him now."
"No need."
Wang Chong waved his hands, without even opening his eyes, what he said made Zhang Que stunned.
"But my lord..."
Zhang Que was stunned, completely unable to fathom Wang Chong's intentions.
"Don't worry about him, let him go."
Wang Chong said calmly, and ended the conversation with one sentence.
Zhang Que was full of unwillingness and doubts, but Wang Chong had already made a decision, so he could only retreat.
After Zhang Que left, Wang Chong finally opened his eyes. A blazing light shot out from his eyes, but he soon calmed down, and the room returned to silence.
