Chapter 165: Wang Chong Goes to Prison!
Chapter 164
"Humph!"
In Longyou of the Tang Dynasty, in the new city on the border with Uzang, an eagle-eyed, high-nosed, extremely heroic general snorted coldly, and a glare flashed across his eyes.
"The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper are high, and Ge Han carries a knife at night." In the western border of the Tang Dynasty, everyone knows the general of the Big Dipper, Ge Shuhan.
This golden armor, with a long knife on his waist, is the Big Dipper General Ge Shuhan.
In the Great Tang Empire, there were many military generals, but there were very few who could truly be called "generals" and whose status surpassed all generals.
As the deputy envoy of the Great Fighting Army, the status of General Ge Shuhan of the Big Dipper can be imagined.
A story was published in the court, and a memorial delivered by a fifteen-year-old boy stirred up wind and rain in the court, shaking the court and the public. Ge Shuhan didn't know about such a big matter.
In fact, the news from the carrier pigeon in his hand has been standing in the strong wind on the city wall for a long time.
"This is the old story of Chang'an repeating itself! Wang Chong? Hmph, another Chang'an captain! Damn it!"
Ge Shuhan squeezed the note fiercely, his expression livid.
Back then, during the period of the first emperor, Ge Shuhan's mother passed away, and Ge Shuhan lived in Datang for decades, admiring the demeanor of Datang alone. After his mother passed away, Ge Shuhan learned the customs of the Han people and kept his filial piety for three years, but was ridiculed by Chang'an Wei, a small official in the capital. It is said that he is a barbarian who learns Zhou etiquette, bathes in monkeys and crowns himself, four different!
Ge Shuhan was extremely filial to his mother, and he regarded this incident as a great shame and humiliation.
It is precisely because of this that Ge Shuhan threw his pen into the army and joined the army.
Now, Wang Chong's excerpt made him see the little official in Chang'an back then.
boom!
A cold murderous intent flashed in Ge Shuhan's eyes, and then a burst of flames shot up into the sky, rising more than ten feet high, turning the note in Ge Shuhan's hand into ashes.
In the 200 years of the Tang Dynasty, there were no ordinary Hu people.
Wang Chong's memorial has attracted the wrath of many barbarians. Playing and engraving Wang Chong's notes, like snowflakes flying from all directions.
It would be fine if it was just like this, but those people were not the only ones offended by Wang Chong's memorial.
The governor of Qixi, husband Meng Lingmeng who is also the governor of Anxi, Gao Xianzhi, the deputy governor, Ge Shuhan, the general of Beidou, and An Sishun, the deputy governor of Beiting.
When these memorials filled with angry words from the chief protector, deputy chief protector, and general appeared in the Tang court, the nature of the matter was completely different.
Even Wang Gen's expression changed.
The impact of this matter far exceeded his expectations, showing a state of out of control.
Not only that, the Hu people have been attached to it for so many years, it has not only affected the Hu people, but also the Han people in the court.
Many censors did not dare to attack Jiugong, so they pointed their spearhead at the fifteen-year-old Wang Chong, saying that Wang Chong "talked about the court in vain".
But some other ministers were even more fierce, saying that Wang Chong and the Wang family harbored evil intentions, split the minds of the Han, and made the Hu and Han confrontational, which was not good for the big man. They demanded that Wang Chong be severely punished, and even deal with Wang Chong's uncle Wang Gen.
This matter has developed to this stage, which is unexpected by many people.
The "Taizhen Concubine Incident" only affected the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as local border officials, and the influence was only limited to the Han people. But Wang Chong's memorial pushed the "Jiedushi system" and "reuse of Hu people" to the extreme, and involved all Hu people and their border generals.
In terms of influence, the influence of this incident has far surpassed the "Taizhen Concubine" incident!
In the middle of the night, everything was quiet. When many people in the capital were still sleeping soundly, the Wang family's mansion was brightly lit with candles.
"Chong'er, no! You have to avoid it!"
In Wang Chong's study room, uncle Wang Gen walked back and forth uneasily in the light with his hands behind his back. His eye circles were sunken, faintly blue, as if he hadn't rested for a long time.
"The Jiedushi incident and the reuse of barbarian incidents have far exceeded the expectations of you, me, and the old man. The repercussions of this incident are too great. These censors are not only trying to engrave you and me, they are even brewing now. To impeach the old man."
Wang Gen's anxiety was not concealed.
During this time, only he himself knew how much pressure he was under. Gao Xianzhi, Fumeng Lingcha, Ge Shuhan, An Sishun, these high-ranking, prominent Hu people's generals not only wrote a letter to the court, but also sent him a letter of reprimand.
Wang Gen is an important minister of the imperial court, and his status is definitely not low.
But none of these people had a worse status than him. God knows how much pressure Wang Gen has endured when all the barbarians sent letters of accusation to his home.
And this is only a small part.
Every morning in the court, those royal officials and Hanchen generals who sympathized with the Hu people surrounded him every day, either cursing or impeaching him, and even the court clothes were torn.
In the decades in the court, Wang Gen encountered all kinds of things. But this time it was completely different, Wang Gen smelled a strong crisis from it.
"Hmph! They dare!"
Behind the desk, Wang Chong clenched his fists fiercely with an angry expression. He already knew everything, including the memorial of the snowflake-like barbarians swearing at him, and the impeachment of him by the doctor Yushi for "discussing the government indiscriminately".
From now on, all the barbarians in the Tang Dynasty and Middle-earth will be considered him, and the Wang family will be at odds with each other.
It has been more than two hundred years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the Hu people have already penetrated into all aspects. Wang Chong offended these people, and it is conceivable that he will have an official career in the future.
However, Wang Chong was not afraid whether it was the anger of the barbarian general or the impeachment of the imperial censor.
Wang Chong just felt grief and indignation.
yes!
He impeached the barbarians!
The "Jiedushi system" and the "reuse of Huren system" are originally beneficial to Huren. Whoever opposes these two strategies has touched the interests of all barbarians.
Wang Chong wasn't surprised that so many barbarians would scold and question him, and he didn't care at all. What Wang Chong really cared about were those Han people who opposed him and supported the Hu people.
"You can't see Mount Tai if you block your eyes with a leaf", "If you plug your ears with beans, you can't hear thunder", that's right! Qibi Heli is indeed a loyal minister, and Ashina Sheer has indeed made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
Both of these two were Hu Renliang ministers during Emperor Taizong's time, but who fought against Emperor Taizong?
Han people?
It's a barbarian!
Who is fighting Datang to the north of Yin Mountain and west of Congling?
Han people?
It's a barbarian!
It's a Tibetan from Uzbekistan!
No matter in any era, in any time and space, there are always some people who forget their identities, and their sympathy for the enemy is far greater than that of their own people.
They can easily substitute into the thinking of the opponent, the enemy, have sympathy for them, and consider for the opponent. But only for their own people, they are extremely harsh, and they often only have cold reprimands and accusations.
Split the Han? Let Hu and Han confront each other?
Hu Han opposes, do you still use him? Isn't this already a fact? Could it be that the people who set off a rebellion in the future and tore apart the Tang Dynasty are these internal Hu people?
Aren't these barbarians the ones who will separate the vassals and towns in the future?
Never overestimate the loyal ministers of the Hu people!
This is the lesson of Wang Chong in his previous life.
When Datang was strong, they could serve Datang willingly. But when the Tang Dynasty is in decline, never expect them to die like the Han people.
A dominant nation does not want to protect itself, but actually wants to give up rights, willingly let the Hu people occupy the dominant position, fight for themselves on the battlefield, and protect themselves.
How stupid and ridiculous this is!
"Might is truth", no matter in any era, a nation that does not understand this truth will not be punished for death!
"Chong'er, now is not the time to be impulsive! You have to find a way to avoid it. During this time, try not to show your head."
Wang Gen spoke earnestly.
"Avoid? Where can I avoid? If the imperial censor is impeached and summoned by the court, can I not go?"
Wang Chong said calmly.
He sat behind the desk with a calm expression and no fear, as if he had already thought through everything and made all preparations.
Wang Gen looked at Wang Chong with a calm expression, and felt extremely emotional in his heart, with an indescribable feeling.
Once upon a time, he always regarded Wang Chong as a 15-year-old ignorant child, so Wang Gen was always very harsh towards Wang Chong, and sternly scolded him every now and then.
Even after Wang Chong plotted against the Yao family, Wang Gen felt that he was still too young to take on major responsibilities.
But at this moment, Wang Gen suddenly realized that Wang Chong might be young, but his heart had already grown up.
Even he couldn't keep his composure about the "Jiedushi incident" and "reusing barbarians", but this nephew, who was the initiator of everything, was able to remain calm, and even told him coldly, " unavoidable" fact.
Even he couldn't do this.
"Chong'er, you've finally grown up."
At this moment, Wang Gen was filled with emotion. Even he himself didn't realize that at this moment, his view of Wang Chong changed a lot.
Invisibly, Wang Gen had already regarded him as a peer who could be trusted, discussed, and acted upon.
"Chong'er is right. I also feel that he has no choice but to avoid this matter."
A voice came from the side. Wang Chong's uncle Wang Bi was sitting beside him with a pensive look on his face. He just came back yesterday.
With such a big incident happening in the Wang family, it is impossible for him not to come back. At this time, it is always good to have one more person to discuss.
It's just that he doesn't understand the affairs of the court at all, so he doesn't know a few words about what Wang Chong and his elder brother Wang Gen said. But it was completely an instinct, Wang Mi felt that what Wang Chong said was right.
"Chong'er, I hope my uncle thinks you are too reckless. In fact, you don't have to write that memorial at all."
"Impossible! I have to write that memorial, and I have to write it like this."
Before my uncle could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Chong. This incident has become like this, Wang Chong will never regret it. Some things, no matter what the price is, even if you know that there are thorns ahead, you must do it.
If you do it, Wang Chong will never regret it.
"Eh!"
Wang Mi and Wang Gen sighed at the same time. He hoped that Wang Chong would enter the palace. He stopped the carriage on the way and persuaded him, but he did not expect Wang Chong to do it anyway.
And in a way he didn't expect.
It's just that the matter has come to this point, it's done, and even the old man has agreed, so Wang Gen has nothing to say.
"boom!"
While several people were discussing, suddenly there was a loud banging on the door from outside, as if someone broke in. In the study room, the three raised their heads together.
However, before the three of them got up——
"boom!"
With a loud noise, the door of Wang Chong's study was hit by a huge force, split into several pieces instantly, and flew in. Under the shocked gazes of the three, a few Jinwu guards, armed with spears and halberds, rushed in from the door with majestic breath.
"You are Wang Chong?"
Several people looked at Wang Chong coldly, and said indifferently.
"I'm!"
Wang Chong asked in surprise, completely unable to understand what was going on.
"Very good, Wang Chong, you have been arrested, come with us!"
Several Jinwu guards said with a cold face, and said, they stepped over, left and right, clamped Wang Chong, and started to walk out.
"what!"
Wang Gen and Wang Bi were taken aback. At this time, Wang Gen saw the sign hanging on their waists, which was a black word "Prison".
These people are the prison guards in the palace!
"Wait a minute! What crime are you arresting him for? Da Tang Luli, you dare to arrest people who have not made mistakes!"
Wang Gen said angrily.
"Discuss government affairs indiscriminately!"
One of the palace guards revealed a golden detention order:
"This is a decree from the imperial court. There are ministers from the Ministry of War, ministers from the Ministry of Punishment, chancellors, imperial censors, and more importantly, your majesty's jade seal!"
"what!"
Wang Gen's whole body trembled violently. Looking at the dragon seal on it, he felt as if he had been electrocuted, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Lord Wang, you are an important minister of the imperial court. I hope you will not obstruct the imperial court's arrest of serious offenders, otherwise, don't blame us for arresting you and sending you to the prison!"
Even Wang Mi was shocked by the last words of the court guard.
Dungeon?
Not the Ministry of Punishment? Not Dali Temple? And the prison in the palace!
Isn't that the place where death row prisoners are held?
Wang Mi was completely shocked.
However, several palace prison guards did not stay still. They held Wang Chong, lit his sleeping hole, supported him, strode out, and disappeared outside the door after a while.
After a long time, there was a sound of weeping in the palace.
It was dawn at this time.
When the news of Wang Chong being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison came out, the whole world was in an uproar. Among all the Hanchens, this incident caused an unexpected and huge shock, as well as extreme anger!
Today's chapter is very long, it is estimated that it will not be long tomorrow, and the first chapter is expected to be updated at 2:30 tomorrow, brothers, please pay attention!
