Chapter 358 Wang Jingchong has something to say
The low door beam, because of the guards of the imperial guards, is more solemn.Zhao Kuangyin was on duty, standing dignifiedly, holding the handle of the knife, and looked at Wang Jingchong standing under the stone steps with great interest.

He was tall and well-known for his age, his head was slightly lowered, his hands folded his sleeves, and he shrank in the cold wind with a cautious posture, his steps were very steady, and he didn't move a bit.

There is a lantern on each side of the corridor, but the slightly flickering candlelight can only illuminate half of his face. Under the hazy light, there is a faint gloomy meaning, but when he looks closely, he is extremely calm.

Zhao Kuangyin was slightly surprised, and searched for information about this person in his mind, but soon gave up.It has been nearly a year since he became the Imperial Banzhi, and Zhao Kuangyin, an internal and external courtier who came and went to see him, has seen a lot and remembered a lot, but he really knows very little about Wang Jingchong.I only know his name, and he seems to be the Prime Minister Yang Bin.

Wang Jingchong stood in the cold night, his official robes were very plain and old, and he didn't have any expensive ornaments on his body, as if he was implementing the frugal style advocated by the emperor.

Wang Jingchong naturally noticed Zhao Kuangyin's scrutinizing gaze, but there was no one there.Wang Jingchong had also heard about this young general who was newly promoted by the emperor. He looked at people and looks, but he was full of heroism. Thinking about his own situation, for a moment, Wang Jingchong felt jealous.

It has been almost two years, but what has changed is that Wang Jingchong is getting older.What has not changed is that he is still just a minister of the Ministry of War, in name only, and 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 entered the Central Plains, as a meritorious minister, Wang Jingchong also received Liu Zhiyuan's attention and preferential treatment. He also served him wholeheartedly and tried his best to cater to Liu Han's monarch and ministers.

This person has great ambitions, meritorious deeds, and is good at making money. In the subsequent choice, he made a decision that he still regrets today. He joined Yang Bin and participated in the battle for the reserve position that was still in its infancy. .

In addition to remorse, it is inevitable to complain about the time.After all, at that time, how powerful Yang Bin was, and how great Liu Chengxun's position advantage was.

However, who would have thought that such a sudden change would occur in the subsequent situation of the newborn big man.Liu Chengxun died early, Liu Zhiyuan died of illness, and Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne. In just a few months, the Northern Han Dynasty would undergo such earth-shaking changes. Wang Jingchong would not be able to react, and the overall situation would change.

At that time, Wang Jingchong felt that the current situation was changing, so he changed the situation in time, decisively sold the seller, and took a bite back, bluntly stating that Yang Bin had the intention of rebelling, but unfortunately, the result was not as he expected.The emperor was obviously very interested in his obedience, and gave some instructions, but afterward, he stopped his efforts. Not only did he not execute Yang Bing, but he promoted him to a higher rank, and his reuse remained the same.

This made Wang Jingchong very surprised, and even panicked, fearing that he would die and suffer disaster.Fortunately, in the days that followed, the emperor seemed to have forgotten him.

However, after two years, Wang Jingchong hid himself in the court, and under his sinking heart, he slowly saw some signs and guessed some of the emperor's thoughts.

Secretly scolding myself for being stupid!At that time, the new lord's heir had nothing but stability, and he acted so rashly that he betrayed the lord. The act of a villain was really stupid.

However, it is not too late to remedy the situation.Wang Jingchong always kept the last chance of a comeback in his heart, working hard and step by step, which is not his style, nor suitable for him.

What he was looking forward to was the glimpse of the emperor's will.Liu Chengyou is not an ordinary young master, let alone a mediocre master. Even if he takes the overall situation into consideration, how can he allow the old minister to be arrogant 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.

At the beginning, Liu Chengyou's command full of deep meaning lingered in his mind from time to time.Wang Jingchong translated Liu Chengyou's words, to monitor Yang Bin and collect criminal evidence for future use. Wang Jingchong did the same.

Up to now, he got an errand from Yang Bin and was able to accompany him. Wang Jingchong felt that the time had come, and he could no longer hold back his desire to "make meritorious service", so he came this night.

With a calm expression, thoughts kept flashing, until the sound of regular steps interrupted Wang Jingchong's thoughts.

Seeing the figure of Zhang Dejun walking out, he hastened to meet him.Zhang Dejun glanced at Wang Jingchong, raised his chin slightly, and said indifferently: "The official decree, Wang Jingchong will see you in the hall!"

Hearing this, Wang Jingchong's calm face finally showed a hint of emotion, but it disappeared in a flash.

Half a step behind, when he followed 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, and was blocked by Zhang Dejun with more skillful movements.

"Wang Shilang, since the northern tour, the officials are exhausted physically and mentally. If there is nothing important to do and disturb the rest of the officials, I, the messenger, can't afford it."

After quietly leaving a word, Zhang Dejun quickened his pace.

Wang Jingchong was taken aback when he heard the words, and secretly thought that the eunuch was still holding it up, and he didn't dare to show any strangeness on his face, so he hastened his steps to keep up, humbly complimenting and pleading guilty.

Zhang Dejun is a very particular person, and he had already received the ceremony when he informed Wang Jingchong before.
After waiting for a short while, Liu Chengyou simply put on a winter coat, walked in quickly, and landed behind the case.Wang Jingchong, who was waiting politely, immediately got up to pay respects, glanced at him, but did not touch the tea served.

"Wang Jingchong!" Liu Chengyou said without any turmoil in his tone.

"Chen is here!"

"I still remember that last time you came to visit at night like this, but you said a lot of hurtful words to me!" Liu Chengyou looked at Wang Jingchong with calm eyes, and asked casually.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jingchong landed on his knees nimbly, clasped his fists in response, and said, "Your Majesty will remember it, and I admire you!"

"Tell me, why bother you to visit at night?" Liu Chengyou went straight to the point.

Wang Jingchong paused for a while, then took a deep breath, lowered his head, and said solemnly: "I report to Your Majesty, I obeyed the emperor's order to observe Yang Xiang's actions for two years, and now I have gained something, so I can tell Your Majesty! "

As he spoke, Wang Jingchong took out a book from his sleeve and presented it.

Taking it from Zhang Dejun's hand, Liu Chengyou weighed it, reckoned that there were more than ten pages folded, lowered his eyes, and opened it to read it.Everything written on it, no matter how big or small, is Yang Bin's "criminal evidence".Cultivating party members, authorizing power and governing, deceiving the emperor and disregarding superiors, perverting the law for personal gain, condoning the old, are mostly such words.

With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, like sarcasm, Liu Chengyou smiled indifferently, with a look of indifference: "This is your harvest?"

Seeing Liu Chengyou's reaction, Wang Jingchong didn't panic, bowed his hands again, and opened his mouth: "I have come here to tell you something very urgent! I found out that Yang Bin was plotting something strange, and wanted to take advantage of His Majesty's stay in Longgang. Invite the king of Julu County to help, surrounded by Zhao soldiers, and do ten evil things!"

After his words fell, the hall became silent, and it seemed to be even colder.
