The low door beam was guarded by the imperial guards, which made it more solemn. Zhao Kuangyin was on duty, standing solemnly, holding his hand on the handle of the knife, and looking at Wang Jingchong standing under the stone steps with interest.
He is tall and old, with his head slightly lowered and his hands on his sleeves, huddled in the cold wind with a restrained posture, his steps are very steady and he does not move at all.
There is a lantern on each side of the corridor, but the slightly swaying candlelight can only illuminate half of his face. Under the hazy light, there is a faint gloominess, but when he looks closely, he is extremely calm.
Zhao Kuangyin was slightly surprised, searching for information about this person in his mind, but he quickly gave up. It has been nearly a year since he became the imperial minister, and Zhao Kuangyin also met a lot of internal and external ministers who came in and out.
Quite a few, but I really know very little about Wang Jingchong. I only know his name, and he seems to be a member of Prime Minister Yang Bin.
Wang Jingchong stood in the cold night, his official robes were very simple and old, and he did not have any expensive accessories. He seemed to be implementing the frugal style advocated by the emperor.
Wang Jingchong naturally noticed Zhao Kuangyin's scrutinizing gaze, but it was as if no one was there. Wang Jingchong had also heard about this young general who was newly promoted by the emperor. Looking at people and appearances, he was very heroic and thoughtful, thinking about his own situation.
, for a moment, Wang Jingchong felt jealous in his heart.
It has been almost two years. What has changed is that Wang Jingchong has become older. What has not changed is that he is still just a minister of the Ministry of War, in name only. In the current Qianyou Dynasty, he does not even have a slightly important dispatch resume.
At the beginning, Wang Jingchong was an active member among the people who welcomed Liu Zhiyuan to Tokyo. After Liu Han occupied the Central Plains, as a meritorious minister, Wang Jingchong also received Liu Zhiyuan's attention and preferential treatment. He also served him wholeheartedly and worked hard to cater to Liu Zhiyuan.
Han Junchen.
This man had great ambitions, valued achievements, and was good at maneuvering. In his subsequent choices, he made a decision that he still regrets today. He took refuge with Yang Bin and participated in the budding but unresolved battle for the reserve position.
.
In addition to feelings of regret, it is inevitable to lament the timing. After all, how powerful Yang Fan was at that time, and how great Liu Chengxun's advantage was.
However, who could have imagined that the subsequent situation of the newly born Han Dynasty would undergo such sudden changes. Liu Chengxun died early, Liu Zhiyuan died of illness, and Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne. In just a few months, such earth-shaking changes would occur in the Northern Han Dynasty.
The changes did not allow Wang Jingchong to react at all, and the overall situation changed.
At that time, Wang Jingchong sensed the changes in the current situation, promptly changed the situation, decisively betrayed the seller, and counterattacked, confessing that Yang Fan had rebellious intentions. Unfortunately, the result was not what he expected. The emperor was obviously very interested in his wholehearted obedience, and some
The instructions were given, but they ceased operations afterwards. Not only did Yang Bin not be punished, but he was promoted to a higher position, and his important role remained the same.

This surprised Wang Jingchong, and he even panicked, fearing that he would be killed. Fortunately, in the days that followed, the emperor seemed to have forgotten him.
However, after two years, Wang Jingchong was hidden in the court. With a deep heart, he slowly saw some signs and guessed some of the emperor's thoughts.
Secretly cursing himself for being stupid! At that time, the new master's throne was only stable, but he was so anxious and rash that he betrayed the master. It was a stupid move for a villain.
However, it is not too late to remedy the situation. Wang Jingchong always retains the last chance of recovery in his heart. Working diligently and step by step is not his style and does not suit him.
What he was looking forward to was the glimpse of the emperor's will. Liu Chengyou was not an ordinary young master, let alone a mediocre master. Even if he took the overall situation into consideration, how could he tolerate the arrogance and pampering of his old ministers for a long time.
Sure enough, the changes in the situation of the Han Dynasty in the past two years confirmed Wang Jingchong's conjecture, and Liu Chengyou's policies and measures also attracted Wang Jingchong's attention.
Liu Chengyou's profound instructions at the time lingered in his mind from time to time. Wang Jingchong translated Liu Chengyou's words as monitoring Yang Bin and collecting evidence for future use. Wang Jingchong also did the same.
Now, after asking for an errand from Yang Bin and being able to accompany him, Wang Jingchong felt that the time had come and could no longer restrain his desire to "make achievements", so he came this night.
Under his calm expression, thoughts kept flashing around, until the sound of regular steps interrupted Wang Jingchong's thoughts.
Seeing Zhang Dejun walking out, he hurriedly greeted him. Zhang Dejun glanced at Wang Jingchong, raised his chin slightly, and said calmly: "The official has ordered, Wang Jingchong will see you in the side hall!"
Hearing this, Wang Jingchong's calm face finally showed a trace of emotion, but it passed away briefly.
Half a step behind, following Zhang Dejun to the side hall, Wang Jingchong took out a jade pendant from his arms with very skillful movements, concealed it and sent it to Zhang Dejun, but was blocked by Zhang Dejun with even more skillful movements.
"Shilang Wang, since the Northern Tour, the officials have been exhausted physically and mentally. If there is nothing important to do and disturb the officials' rest, I, the person who delivers the message, cannot afford to suffer..."
Zhang Dejun said quietly and quickened his pace.
Wang Jingchong was startled when he heard this, and secretly thought that the eunuch was still holding it up. He didn't dare to show any strangeness on his face, and hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up, humbly complimenting him.
Zhang Dejun is a very particular person. He had already received the courtesy when he informed Wang Jingchong the previous time...
After waiting for only a short moment, Liu Chengyou simply put on winter clothes, walked in quickly, and landed behind the case. Wang Jingchong, who was waiting politely, immediately stood up to pay respects, glanced at him, and did not touch the tea offered.
"Wang Jingchong!" Liu Chengyou said without any wavering in his tone.
"I'm here!"
"I still remember that the last time you came to visit me at night, you said a lot of heartbreaking words to me!" Liu Chengyou looked at Wang Jingchong with an unwavering look in his eyes and asked casually.
Upon hearing the question, Wang Jingchong quickly landed on his knees, clasped his fists and responded: "Your Majesty remembers it, I admire you!"
"Tell me, why do you need to pay me a visit this late at night?" Liu Chengyou got straight to the point.
Wang Jingchong paused for a moment, then took a deep breath, lowered his head, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have been observing the behavior of Prime Minister Yang for two years under your orders, and now I have learned something, so I can report it to your Majesty! "
With that said, Wang Jingchong took out a book from his sleeve and presented it.
Taking it from Zhang Dejun, Liu Chengyou weighed it and estimated that there were more than ten pages folded. He lowered his eyes and spread them out to browse through them. Everything written on it, no matter how big or small, was Yang Bin's "evidence". To cultivate party members, Absolute power and good governance, bullying the emperor and neglecting superiors, bending the law for personal gain, indulging in old habits, and so on.
The corner of his mouth twitched, as if to sarcastically, Liu Chengyou smiled indifferently, as if he didn't care: "Is this what you gained?"
Seeing Liu Chengyou's reaction, Wang Jingchong did not panic. He bowed his hands and bowed again, saying, "I am here to tell you something extremely important! I found out that Yang Ping was plotting something strange and wanted to take advantage of your majesty's stay in Longgang. Invite the king of Julu County for reinforcements, surround him with Zhao soldiers, and commit the ten evil things!"
After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent and seemed to get even colder.
