Chapter 1225: The Furious Old Imperial Censor!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

There had been far too many changes in the Imperial Court recently, and all the members of the military were under immense pressure. Moreover, Wang Chong, as the newly-promoted Young Marquis and the victor of several major battles to the west of the Cong Mountains, was the number one target for suppression. The military faction was on the extreme decline, with the favored Son of Heaven's disciple even being stripped of his military authority.

The Confucian school now wanted to add an avalanche atop the blizzard, and disgrace and beat down Wang Chong. No member of the military faction could accept this.

With everyone watching, Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli instantly turned red in the face, but they were unable to manage a response.

In this awkward atmosphere, the elderly voice of Grand Scribe Yan Wenzhang rang out, "Lord Zhou, Lord Zheng, the Young Marquis has just returned from a long journey. Let him rest!"

After all, as a fellow official and member of the civil faction, Yan Wenzhang could no longer watch as his two colleagues were left speechless by Wang Chong's arguments, and offered them a pretext to leave.

"Young Marquis, this old man is getting on in years and cannot compare to young men like you. Since we have already paid respects to the Young Marquis, this old man will go and rest. Many of the Young Marquis's ideas truly are rather interesting. In the future, this old man will certainly come to pay a visit."

"Let us escort Lord Yan."

Wang Chong did not care and bowed in return.

On the other side, Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli felt like they had been granted an amnesty, and breathed sighs of relief. The capital was astir with Wang Chong's return from Khorasan, and Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli had wanted to use this occasion to meet with Wang Chong and diminish his prestige, dull his sharpness. However…

Grand Scribe Yan Wenzhang quickly took his leave, with Zhou Taiqin and Zheng Chengli following him.
