Chapter 645 Goodbye Su Zhengchen (2)

Chapter 645

"senior!"

Seeing that familiar figure, Wang Chong walked over and bowed respectfully in front of the old man, with a respectful and serious expression.

If the people in the capital knew that Wang Chong, who had just achieved a great victory in the Southwest and was regarded as a triumphant hero by the entire Tang Dynasty, would be so respectful to an old man, they would definitely find it inconceivable.

But Wang Chong knew very well that the old man in front of him could afford any gift from anyone.

Because he is Su Zhengchen, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, a legendary existence who has been famous all over the world since the Taizong era, even the famous generals such as Wang Zhongsi and Zhang Shougui are dim and colorless in front of him.

"coming."

Su Zhengchen's voice was very soft, like an ordinary old man, and it was completely impossible to think that he was the famous god who moved the world.

"sit down."

Without raising his head, Su Zhengchen pointed to the opposite side of the chessboard.

"Hey hey, brother."

A cute little head poked out from under Su Zhengchen's ribs, his eyes were shining brightly in the light, it looked weird, it was the "Little Jianjian" who was always by Su Zhengchen's side.

"brat."

Wang Chong smiled, stretched out a palm, and fondled the thin short hair on top of his head.

"Senior Brother, let me tell you, Master has been waiting for you for a long time when he knew you were back."

Xiao Jianjian deliberately lowered his voice.

"Talk!"

Su Zhengchen didn't lift his head, but he tapped Xiao Jianjian's head with a finger.

"It's not fun, Master is angry."

Xiao Jianjian stuck out his tongue cutely, and quickly retracted his head.

Wang Chong glanced at Su Zhengchen next to him, his eyes were thoughtful, and he quickly sat down opposite Su Zhengchen.

"Come with me for the next round."

Su Zhengchen finally raised his head,

Pointing to the chess pot opposite. The orange light shone on his face, changing constantly.

"Yes, senior."

Wang Chong smiled, took the chess jar at the side and put it in his hand. But when Wang Chong saw the chess pieces inside, he was slightly taken aback. In the past, when Wang Chong and Su Zhengchen played chess, Su Zhengchen would hold the white pieces, Wang Chong would hold the black pieces, and the white pieces would go first.

But this time, the chess pots that Su Zhengchen gave him were all white stones.

"In the past, you were just a little clever, so I let you hold the black stones, but now you are worthy of these white stones."

Su Zhengchen's voice came faintly from the air.

For a moment, Wang Chong seemed to understand something. The night was slightly cold, but there was a warm current in Wang Chong's chest, and he was faintly moved.

Although Su Zhengchen didn't say anything, there was no doubt that he had expressed his approval in this way. This was something my previous self had never felt before.

"Let's play chess."

Before Wang Chong could speak, Su Zhengchen had already grabbed the chess piece in his hand.

"yes."

Wang Chong smiled calmly, and dropped a white piece first.

This game of chess continued from late at night until it was white in the east, and in the end even the lantern next to Su Zhengchen was almost extinguished.

"Okay, I lost."

At the last moment, Su Zhengchen abandoned his son and conceded defeat, and he lost without a doubt. But even so, Su Zhengchen didn't feel depressed in the slightest, instead he looked extremely happy, as if he was the one who won.

"Wencheng doesn't love money, and military officials don't hesitate to die. This is the way for the country's prosperity. Chonger, you did a good job in this Southwest War, and you didn't lose face for the Tang Dynasty!"

As Su Zhengchen said, he stood up and looked at Wang Chong in front of him with a look of relief.

"Yes, senior."

Wang Chong lowered his head, his heart was filled with emotion. Su Zhengchen said a few words, but they were already the greatest affirmation of him. Su Zhengchen never easily participated in government affairs, let alone the frontiers. In the entire empire, there were very few people who could get such affirmation from him.

In order to get these few words of affirmation, I don't know how many people are willing to fight and die, and pay a huge price for it.

"Is the white piece I gave you last time still there?"

Su Zhengchen suddenly spoke.

"Here I am."

Wang Chong quickly took out the white piece from his arms.

"Give me."

Su Zhengchen took the white piece from Wang Chong's hand, flicked it lightly, and returned it to Wang Chong.

"The blood on your body is too fierce. I can't do anything about this kind of blood problem. I can only help you suppress it temporarily and protect your meridian dantian. Everything else can only depend on your own luck."

Just as Wang Chong looked down at the white pieces in his hand, a voice suddenly came from beside his ears. Before Wang Chong could react, bang, Wang Chong's right shoulder was slightly numb, and he patted him lightly with a palm. In just a moment, that palm was retracted. But in the blink of an eye, there was a majestic, powerful and unbelievably strong sword energy, rushing into Wang Chong's body like a flood.

Different from the sword qi that Wang Chong felt before, although this sword qi was extremely powerful and fierce, it contained a powerful vitality.

As soon as this sword energy rushed into Wang Chong's body, it immediately divided into tens of thousands and scattered into Wang Chong's seven meridians and eight meridians, as well as his dantian.

"Jian'er, it's dawn, let's go."

A voice came from beside his ears, and Wang Chong raised his head, only to see a figure with fluttering sleeves leading the seven or eight-year-old child towards the distance.

"Senior, when can we meet again?"

Wang Chong's heart moved, and he couldn't help but blurted out.

"When the time comes, there will be a goodbye!"

Su Zhengchen's voice came from the wind, and the old and the young quickly disappeared into the night.

Wang Chong looked at the distant figures of the two, and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He deeply knew that after this time, the two of them would enter that deep mansion again, isolated from the outside world.

I don't know how long I'll have to wait to see them again.

After recovering his mind, Wang Chong quickly returned to the mansion, visited his mother, and quickly got down to sleep. He barely closed his eyes during the Southwest War, and now that he's back in the capital, he can rest well.

...

When Wang Chong was resting at home, the whole palace was already in a state of chaos. The Holy Emperor's decree has come down, and the Ministry of Rites and the Sixth Ministry, as well as the ministers in the court, will discuss the issue of rewards for the generals in the Southwest.

Whether it was Xianyu Zhongtong, Wang Yan, Wang Fu, or other generals in the southwest, there was no problem with their rewards. Only there was a problem with Wang Chong's reward.

"This is out of courtesy! Wang Chong, the youngest son of the Wang family, has no official position at all, how can he be rewarded?"

"That's right! Although he was born in the family of a general, he is just a commoner son. He is not even listed in the military register of the Annan Governor's Army. How can he be rewarded?"

...

Above the court hall, several officials from the Ministry of Rites, as well as officials from Honglu Temple, as well as the censor of the imperial court spoke out to stop it.

"The state has state laws, and the family has family rules. Even if you want to reward Wang Chong, you have to follow the rules and regulations of the court. There is no rule without rules. Do you want to mess with the law because of one person?"

Beside the Panlong Pillar, Duan Yushi looked stern, as if he was fighting the world alone.

It's not that he has any grudge against Wang Chong, it's just that the imperial court wants to award Wang Chong a lot, which will mess up the imperial court's rules. As a censor, one should not be afraid of the powerful and powerful, and swear to guard the court's laws and regulations. No matter whether it is the king or the subjects, as long as they violate the court's laws and regulations, they must swear to the death to impeach and fight to the end.

Moreover, from ancient times to the present, from the day of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a "commoner" to be generously rewarded.

Not far away, King Qi watched with cold eyes, his heart was already overjoyed.

In the Battle of the Southwest, he was already too conspicuous, and it was no longer suitable for him to jump out. So he specially contacted people from Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, and then found these rigid and conservative censors, in order to suppress the most conspicuous unicorn of the Wang family.

The entire Wang clan, whether it is Wang Gen, Wang Yan, Wang Fu, or others, in the eyes of King Qi, all have limited potential.

If they were really that powerful, they would have been crowned kings and marquises long ago, so how could it be their turn now. Only this Wang Chong made him feel a huge threat.

An existence that was only seventeen years old and able to defeat Daqin Ruozan and Huoshu Guizang, this has already made King Qi smell the smell of Jiugong back then.

Back then when Duke Jiu was in power, they belonged to the Qi Palace and were almost crushed to death. No matter what, King Qi couldn't allow himself to have such a formidable opponent in the court.

And Wang Chong has no official position, let alone an army establishment, this is the biggest Achilles' heel. According to the rules of the imperial court, if Wang Chong is not in the military establishment, there is no way to record military achievements.

Even if Wang Chong made great contributions in the southwest, it still has nothing to do with him.

"Hmph, according to Duan Yushi's intention, Wang Chong has made such a great contribution, should we punish him for raising the army without permission, forging weapons, and interfering with the battle command?"

A strange voice suddenly came from the side, and before anyone else could speak, another censor from the imperial court spoke, his voice full of sarcasm, opposite Duan Yushi.

"Yang Yushi!"

Seeing the censor who spoke, Duan Qian's expression changed immediately. The censor who satirized him, with gray temples, was his former boss, Yang Wei.

It would be fine if it was someone else who refuted him, but it happened to be Yang Wei, who was also the censor, and he was also his immediate boss.

Duan Qian's face flushed immediately, but after a while he returned to normal.

"Why not?"

Duan Qian poked his neck and said. The imperial court has its own laws and regulations, and if it is violated, so what if it is your own boss?

"Hmph, so what you mean is to take Wang Chong and put him in prison, and then you go to lead the army, go to the battlefield in person, and lead Datang to defeat Daqin Ruozan, Huoshu Guizang, and Duan Gequan on the battlefield. , and the ambitious foreign masters around, protecting the people of Datang, right?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, before Duan Qian could react, a skinny hand suddenly stretched out, pinched his ear and pinched it hard, then twisted violently.

Ouch, Duan Qian, who was upright just now, immediately cried out in pain, but what surprised him even more was the identity of the person who pinched him behind him.
