First Secret Agent in History

"Your Majesty!" The voice of Nangong Cuo, the governor of Black Ice Platform, sounded outside.

Monk Wuxin said: "Then I'll leave first."

"No, no need..." Emperor Wan Yun said, "Come in."

The one who came in later said it to Nangong Cuo.

After a while, Nangong Cuo walked in, kowtowed and said: "Information from the southern border."

Then, he handed over a thick stack, which was the most detailed information about the rebellion in the south. It was dozens of pages long, and everything from how the rebellion started to the current situation was clearly written.

The emperor read it very carefully. After reading it from beginning to end, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then read it again.

"In other words, the culprit of this southern rebellion is Yuan Tianxie?" Emperor Wan Yun asked.

"Yes, Yuan Tianxie, Li Wenhua, and Fu Zha are the chief culprits of this rebellion in the southern border." Nangong Cuo said: "In the past six months, earthquakes have occurred frequently in the southern border, and there are many disasters and diseases. However, the government's disaster relief and treatment measures in the five southern border provinces have It is not good for the disease, and it is very oppressive to the natives in the southern barbarian territory. Yuan Tianxie's Huangtian Sect took the opportunity to recruit disciples and organized medical treatment and disaster relief. Many patients miraculously recovered after taking his talisman water. So many people called him As the Great Sage Master, they all worshiped him as their teacher."

earthquake? !

In the past year, many earthquakes have occurred in the southern border, and the Guangda Protectorate has reported more than a dozen earthquakes.

The imperial court also allocated money for disaster relief three times, but obviously the results of the disaster relief were not very good, otherwise Yuan Tianxie's Huangtian Sect would not have risen crazily.

However, the news of these earthquakes was suppressed by the emperor.

After the failure of the war last year, there was already a public opinion crisis, and the emperor was already under tremendous pressure. If the news of the earthquake spreads, wouldn't it give many people room to think about it?

Because in the world, earthquakes are often associated with the emperor's misconduct and warnings from heaven. And this earthquake in the southern region is indeed very strange. A series of earthquakes that are so dense are indeed rare.

"Yuan Tianxie mobilized countless believers to build the Huangtian Pagoda on the top of Dairi Mountain in Danan Province, claiming to help millions of native people suppress the earth dragon. When the construction of this Pagoda is completed, the earthquake will gradually If it stops, the disaster will also stop." Nangong Cuo said: "What I didn't expect was that when the construction of the Huangtian Pagoda was about to be completed, the earthquake actually gradually stopped and subsided, so countless people in the southern border even considered him As a heavenly being, I worship and admire him even more."

The emperor couldn't help but frown. He had heard of Yuan Tianxie. He was absolutely famous. From the Daxia Empire to the Daying Empire, from the Southern Zhou Empire to the Xiliang Kingdom, he had left his footprints, or miracles, everywhere. .

There are countless celebrities who are his disciples, including top nobles such as dukes and marquises. Even Emperor Wan Yun once had the idea of ​​summoning this magical alchemist.

But he didn't expect that this person would become a disaster in the Southern Territory.

"Why does this Fu Zha's name seem familiar?" Monk Wu Xin next to him suddenly said.

The emperor said: "He once came to the capital to meet me, and I also conferred on him the title of General Guide. But at that time, his name was not Fu Zha, but Ao Zha, even though he was only less than ten years younger than Ao Xin. , but he became his adoptive father."

Monk Wuxin said: "I remembered that he also has a twin brother named Ao Qi."

"Yes, Ao Qi and Ao Zha, the two brothers were both promoted by Ao Xin and served as the left commander and right commander of the native garrison." The emperor said: "Now these brothers have rebelled and even changed their surnames. changed."

No wonder the whole world felt that Ao Xin was treasonous.

Because it was not only Zhongyong Bo Li Wenhua who rebelled in the south, but also Ao Xin's adopted son, and he also did so in the name of saving Ao Xin.

So Ao Xin couldn't be cleansed even if she jumped into the Tianjiang River. How come people don't think that these people's rebellion was instigated by you, Ao Xin?

"Your Majesty, Princess Xiangxiang just passed the Black Ice Platform, but did not go in. She stayed at the door for half a quarter of an hour." Nangong said wrongly.

Emperor Wan Yun asked: "Why is she sitting at the entrance of Heibingtai?"

Nangong Cuo said: "During this period, Ao Yu borrowed a zheng and played music from time to time. Maybe Princess Xiangxiang heard it when she passed by."

Emperor Wan Yun asked: "Where did he play it?"

Nangong mistakenly said: "It's in the prison."

Emperor Wan Yun asked: "If you play in the prison, can the sound be transmitted outside?"

Nangong mistakenly said: "It's very small, but Princess Xiangxiang is extremely talented in this area."

Emperor Wan Yun asked: "Does he play well?"

Nangong mistakenly said: "It's very stunning."

Emperor Wan Yun said coldly: "He really has ulterior motives and his heart is to be punished. Why did you give him a zheng?"

Nangong mistakenly said: "Because he provided us with a very important piece of information, which he has already reported to His Majesty before."

Emperor Wan Yun said coldly: "After we return, immediately confiscate his zheng. Don't let him become a monster. Just tie him up."

Nangong mistakenly said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Wan Yun asked: "Didn't Xiangxiang go in to see Ao Yu?"

Nangong Cuo shook his head and said, "No, Her Royal Highness the Princess is already heading towards the palace at this time."

Emperor Wan Yun said: "I understand, you can go out."

"Yes!" Nangong said wrongly.

After Nangong Cuo, the governor of Heibingtai, left, Emperor Wan Yun continued to play chess with Monk Wu Xin.

"Brother Wuxin, what do you think of Ao Yu?" the emperor asked.

Monk Wuxin said: "It's a bit demonic, I can't see through it."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's eyes narrowed slightly.

After a while, the eunuch outside reported: "Your Majesty, the princess is here."

Emperor Wan Yun was overjoyed and immediately stood up and went out to greet him. This was his darling, the most beloved apple of his eye, and the only messenger between him and the Supreme Emperor.

Before Princess Xiangxiang arrived, a charming fragrance immediately appeared in the palace.

Then, all the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down happily, kowtowed and said, "Greetings to Your Highness the Princess."

But you cannot raise your head to look at Her Royal Highness. This is a rule that was established when Emperor Tian Yan was in power.

All eunuchs and maids are not allowed to stare at Princess Xiangxiang, so Princess Xiangxiang's beauty becomes even more mysterious.

And every time she comes to the palace, the treatment she enjoys is extraordinary, even the prince cannot enjoy it.

At this time, the eunuch Hou Qing who was outside the emperor's study was lying on the ground even more respectfully, and said flatteringly: "My slave, please pay homage to Your Highness the Princess."

Princess Xiangxiang was stunned and said, "Huh? Where is Hou Zhengbanban?"

As soon as these words came out, Eunuch Hou Qing trembled slightly.

At this time, Emperor Wan Yun walked out quickly with a rare thing in his hand.

"Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang, come and see what the emperor has prepared for you?" Emperor Wan Yun held the treasure in his hands as if he was offering a treasure.

At this time, he seemed no different from the father who doted on his daughter.

Princess Xiangxiang walked over, took the baby from her father's hand, and took a look at it.

Her eyes are really like gems. Even though she is eighteen years old, her pupils are as pure and black as a baby.

She suddenly made a strange sound, because this was a crystal sphere, but there was a small world inside, with houses and little people, very, very small, but very delicate and lifelike.

Moreover, when viewed from a certain angle, the crystal ball has a convex lens effect and can magnify.

In this world, this is definitely a very rare treasure.

"Thank you, Father." Princess Xiangxiang said, her voice was beautiful, crisp yet soft. Sweet yet cool.

Emperor Wan Yun said: "I am counting the days every day waiting for you to come. If you don't come here, I can't help but give this treasure to you."

Then Emperor Wan Yun said angrily: "Girl, have you forgotten about daddy since you had grandpa? Can't you spend a few more days every month to visit me?"

Princess Xiangxiang said: "Grandpa is getting old, so I can't stay with him for a few more years. But my father is still young, so I can still stay with you for a long time."

Only Princess Xiangxiang dared to say this. If anyone else said it, she would be beheaded.

What does it mean that the Supreme Emperor is too old to be with him for a few more years? Aren't you cursing the Supreme Emperor to die early?

But nothing happened when Princess Xiangxiang said it. Even if the Emperor heard it, he would just laugh.

Moreover, the Supreme Emperor has a saying that with Xiao Xiangxiang, I will live at least seven or eight more years.

Princess Xiangxiang came to Monk Wuxin and saluted, "Uncle."

"Hey!" Monk Wuxin's eyes were kind, even full of doting.

This Princess Xiangxiang is the apple of everyone's eye.

"Xiao Xiangxiang, what new music have you made recently?" Emperor Wan Yun said, "Quick, play it for daddy."

Princess Xiangxiang said: "I originally made a piece of music and planned to play it to my father, but then I heard a new piece of music and felt that my own piece of music didn't sound good, so I stopped playing it to my father. "

Then, Princess Xiangxiang looked at Emperor Wan Yun with wide beautiful eyes, as if waiting for him to say, "Please play this new song to your father."

In this way, after she finished playing, she could speak for Ao Yu.

But Emperor Wan Yun seemed not to understand and said with a smile: "How is grandpa's health during this period?"

Princess Xiangxiang felt sad.

Although she is favored and the apple of the eye of the entire royal family, she has a bottom line and will never interfere in political affairs.

At this time, she could hear her father's secret refusal, which was to ask her not to mention Ao Yu's matter.

Suddenly, Princess Xiangxiang forced a smile and said, "Grandpa is very good. He is painting every day."

"Painting?" Emperor Wan Yun said with a smile: "My father is very talented and a great hero, but he is not good at painting? How is your painting?"

"Just so so." Princess Xiangxiang said.

"Hahahaha..." Emperor Wan Yun laughed loudly.

The father and daughter were chatting wildly, and suddenly Emperor Wan Yun sighed: "In the blink of an eye, Xiao Xiangxiang is already eighteen years old. Even if the father and grandfather are reluctant to part with it, Xiao Xiangxiang will get married. My Xiao Xiangxiang is a star in the sky, a unique pearl in the entire Great Zhou Empire. Daddy will definitely find you a husband-in-law who is unparalleled in heaven and earth, and is versatile in both civil and military affairs."

Princess Xiangxiang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's not enough that my father only likes you, I also need to like it myself."

This is Princess Xiangxiang. She never speaks false words and says whatever is on her mind. If it were any other woman, she would definitely say that her daughter would not marry and would stay with her father for the rest of her life.

But she is not like this. She keeps saying that she wants to find a husband she likes the most.

At this time, an old eunuch's voice sounded outside.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asked a servant to come over and ask if Your Majesty has prepared food? The Queen Mother has prepared Her Royal Highness the Princess's favorite rose dew soup. If Your Majesty does not leave any food, please let Your Highness the Princess come over to have a meal."

Emperor Wan Yun reluctantly said: "Look, the queen mother can't wait to beg for help. Xiao Xiangxiang, go quickly, otherwise your imperial grandmother will come to urge you in person."

Princess Xiangxiang bid farewell to Emperor Wan Yun, and then went to Anci Palace to accompany the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother is the wife of Emperor Tianyan. Why doesn't she live in Shangqing Palace with the Emperor? But stay in the palace? This is another story.

………………………………

Inside Anci Palace.

If the emperor doted on Princess Xiangxiang, then the Queen Mother went even further, almost doting on her even more than an old lady in the countryside.

I really hold it in my hand for fear of falling, and hold it in my mouth for fear of melting.

Moreover, it is a flattering kind of pampering. The eunuchs and maids are not allowed to do anything. They cook and eat by themselves.

"My baby, you are fine in everything, but you are too thin. If you are too skinny, you will suffer when you have babies in the future!"

In order to make her grandmother happy, Princess Xiangxiang ate more.

And she felt that she was not thin, but in the eyes of the Queen Mother, she would always be thin.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Queen Mother, she will always be the child who has not grown up.

Princess Xiangxiang was not in good health when she was a child, so she was particularly thin. Thanks to Monk Wu Xin, he helped cure her illness and restore her health.

So when she was little, she often called Monk Wuxin her teacher.

Not only Princess Xiangxiang, but also the eldest prince Zhou Li and the second prince also wanted to call him teacher. But monk Wuxin refused, so Princess Xiangxiang should be called master uncle.

Therefore, the relationship between monk Wuxin and Emperor Wan Yun is a bit like the relationship between monk Daoyan Yao Guangxiao and Emperor Yongle Zhu Di.

He did not participate in political affairs, but he was the most trusted by the emperor and his status was very aloof.

Moreover, this Wuxin monk is also very mysterious and has extraordinary abilities. Everyone can't see through this person and don't dare to mess with him.

"My little Xiangxiang is not happy." Suddenly the Queen Mother said.

Princess Xiangxiang had obviously covered it up very well, but the Queen Mother still saw it.

"Tell grandma, who made you unhappy? Grandma helped you teach him a lesson?" The Queen Mother said: "Who made you angry? Is it the old man or the young one? Grandma helped you teach him a lesson."

The old person in the Queen Mother's mouth naturally refers to the Supreme Emperor. The small one naturally refers to Emperor Wan Yun.

"None of them." Princess Xiangxiang said.

The Queen Mother stared at Princess Xiangxiang for a while and said, "My baby, you are good at everything, but you are too good. You will suffer the consequences and be naughty."

Princess Xiangxiang said: "Grandma, am I not naughty enough?"

The Queen Mother said: "You are a gift from God to our Zhou family. Your flawless kindness can almost wash away our Zhou family's sins."

Then, the Queen Mother sighed: "I understand, I understand, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."

…………………………………………

The next day!

Princess Xiangxiang left the palace and returned to the Shangqing Palace. When she passed the Black Ice Terrace, she couldn't help but make people stop, but she pricked up her ears to hear if anyone was playing music again.

But apparently not anymore.

Because Yun Zhonghe in the prison had his guzheng confiscated, was tied up, and his mouth was even sealed.

When Princess Xiangxiang stood at the door, Yun Zhonghe also felt it.

Because the fragrance is so clear and charming.

Princess Xiangxiang stood outside the Black Ice Terrace and waited for a full quarter of an hour without hearing any sound.

Moreover, no one came out to pay homage to Heibingtai, which was also Emperor Wan Yun’s order.

Just like that, Princess Xiangxiang left again.

After returning to Shangqing Palace!

Princess Xiangxiang composed all the "Yungong Xunyin" she heard.

Then, play it over and over again.

Her piano skills are really high, basically the best in the capital, much higher than Miss Xu Anting's.

This is not a skill, but a state of mind and a realm.

This "Yun Gong Xun Yin" was played in her hands, and it looked particularly fairy-like.

The eunuchs and maids serving in the Shangqing Palace were completely mesmerized by what they heard.

Everyone sighed in their hearts that Princess Xiangxiang was not only extremely beautiful, but also extremely talented. Who would be lucky enough to marry her? Maybe there is no man in the world who can match her?

Everyone thought that the Supreme Emperor would be eager to come out and praise Princess Xiangxiang.

Because among the songs played by Princess Xiangxiang, this song is really the best in recent years.

But the Supreme Emperor didn't respond, as if he didn't hear.

This may also be an attitude.

Princess Xiangxiang didn't speak next and just kept playing.

Three times.

five times.

Ten times!

The music was still beautiful and beautiful, and all the eunuchs and maids in the Shangqing Palace were extremely frightened.

They all knelt on the ground.

Because they also saw something was wrong.

Princess Xiangxiang kept playing, but there was no response at all from the Supreme Emperor.

Twenty times, thirty times...

If you continue to play like this, you will hurt your fingers and your spirit.

Princess Xiangxiang was frail and sick when she was a child. Although she was cured by Monk Wuxin later, she was not very strong yet and could not be too strenuous.

But Princess Xiangxiang is in trouble.

From her father, Emperor Wan Yun, she wanted to plead for Ao Yu's family, but Emperor Wan Yun directly told her not to speak.

On the Queen Mother's side, she could not speak because the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.

So she pinned her hopes on the Supreme Emperor, but she couldn't plead directly because she couldn't interfere in politics.

So I could only play the piano over and over again, playing the song "Yungong Xunyin", and then wait for the Supreme Emperor to ask what kind of music it was.

So, this girl is really an elf in the sky.

Smart, kind, simple, beautiful.

…………………………………………

Three days are up!

The 150,000 forbidden troops have been assembled, and the commander's platform has been set up.

Fu Yantu, the Marquis of Yongcheng, the general of the auxiliary country, and the governor of the southern expedition, was already standing on the general stage, looking at the densely packed elite imperial army.

He suddenly felt heroic.

These 150,000 forbidden troops were only part of it, and there were other troops that had already gathered in other provinces and headed south, waiting for him to receive them.

After more than ten years, he, Fu Yantu, finally reached the pinnacle of his life, finally replacing Ao Xin and becoming the number one general in the Great Zhou Empire. He controlled hundreds of thousands of troops and swept across thousands of miles like a tiger.

Not only that, he would soon be able to behead Ao Xin’s entire family with his own hands.

He has been waiting for this day for many years.

Ao Xin, when you whipped me fifty lashes, this shame will always be etched in my heart.

Now, I will kill your whole family to avenge the whipping.

Imagine how satisfying it would be to chop off the heads of Ao Xin's family with a knife!

A man must retaliate for his anger. If you don't take revenge, let it go. Once you take revenge, you must kill them all and eradicate the roots.

The time is coming soon.

The swearing-in ceremony will begin soon, and the killing of Ao Xin's family and flag sacrifice will also begin soon.

………………………………

Within the palace.

The emperor is putting on armor, and he will personally participate in today's swearing-in ceremony to inspire the soldiers and the people of the empire.

Golden armor, red cloak.

Emperor Wan Yun in the mirror looked majestic and domineering.

"Your Majesty, over there with Ao Xin..." Nangong said wrongly.

"Yes." Emperor Wan Yun responded casually.

The swearing-in ceremony must involve killing people and sacrificing flags.

The great eunuch Hou Qing held a mirror and let the emperor see his power and domineering power from all angles.

The time is coming soon, and the swearing-in ceremony cannot be delayed.

"Take Ao Xin to the general platform!" the emperor said calmly.

"Yes!" Nangong, the governor of Black Ice Platform, said wrongly.

The eyes of the great eunuch Hou Qing flashed with joy, Ao Xin was finally going to die.

Because he and Ao Xin also had a grudge. When he went to the southern border to announce the decree, he put on a very high airs and asked for bribes from Ao Xin.

As a result, Ao Xin didn't even give him half a copper. At that time, Hou Qing's words didn't sound good. Ao Xin immediately turned against Hou Qing and directly scolded Hou Qing for delaying the military situation. He would take out Shang Fang's sword and kill the eunuch Hou Qing. goods.

So Hou Qing announced the decree in despair, and then returned to Beijing all the way, but got nothing.

From then on, the great eunuch Hou Qing hated Ao Xin deeply and vowed to kill Ao Xin's whole family one day when he gained power.

Now it's finally coming true, even though he didn't do it himself, and it doesn't even have anything to do with him, Hou Qing.

But Ao Xin's family was about to die, so of course he, Hou Qing, was happy, it was so good.

…………………………………………

Over there at Shangqing Palace.

Princess Xiangxiang's face was pale and bloodless, her jade hands were red and swollen, and even her delicate jade hands were cut by the strings, and the blood dyed the guzheng red.

In front of her, hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs were kneeling on the ground, pleading.

"Your Highness Princess, stop playing, stop playing..."

"Your Highness, please don't hurt yourself."

"Your Highness, please have mercy on us slaves. If you continue playing, we will all be beheaded."

The bloodless Princess Xiangxiang still played the song "Yungong Xunyin" indifferently, hundreds or even thousands of times.

She was almost exhausted and had reached her limit.

And every time I put all my energy into it.

She never asked for mercy, she just kept playing. There was no response from the Supreme Emperor, so she kept playing like this until she was really exhausted.

The swearing-in ceremony is getting closer and closer.

It's getting closer and closer to killing the Ao Xin Sacrifice Flag.

Moreover, Princess Xiangxiang showed no sign of stopping, and even her lips were completely dry and cracked, with blood oozing out.

In fact, she not only listened to Ao Yu's "Yungong Xunyin", but also read "The Story of the Stone" and "The Story of the East Chamber" countless times.

Finally, the helpless voice of the Supreme Emperor came from the Shangqing Palace.

"Okay, girl, stop playing, you win, you made me break the rules!"

Princess Xiangxiang gritted her teeth, played the last time, and then fainted.

………………………………

"Your Majesty, Ao Xin has been escorted to the general station. The time is almost here. We are about to set off."

Emperor Wan Yun nodded, but still did not set off, but looked at the sword in his hand.

The hourglass falls little by little.

The swearing-in ceremony is getting closer and closer.

The time for killing the flag is getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, an old eunuch rushed over and came to Emperor Wan Yun. He knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor asked his servant to ask, has the second volume of "The Story of the Stone" been released?"

Emperor Wan Yun pursed his lips slightly, and then said: "You go back to report to the emperor. He hasn't come out yet, but the author of this book, Ao Yu, is in Heibingtai Prison in the capital. I will immediately send someone to escort him to Shangqing Palace." .”

The old eunuch kowtowed and said, "I obey."

Then, the old eunuch hurried away and returned to the Shangqing Palace.

Emperor Wan Yun said: "Let's go, the time is almost up."

Then, he walked towards the dianjiangtai at full speed.

………………………………

Inside Black Ice Terrace Prison!

Yun Zhonghe was untied and pressed into a large bucket to take a bath, just like a pig's hair.

A big brush brushed his whole body clean, even every strand of hair.

Then, he put on a clean prison uniform.

"Ao Yu, let's go!"

Then, Yun Zhonghe finally walked out of the prison of Heibingtai, but he did not go to the street at all. He was directly put into a closed carriage and put on a hood.

Obviously, just don't let him see it.

The carriage started to drive towards an unknown and mysterious place.

It was bustling at first, then became quieter and quieter.

Finally, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and the walking sound of the Black Ice Platform Warrior also became softer, almost daring not to make any sound.

Even Yun Zhonghe could feel that this place was enveloped by a powerful aura.

There is a feeling that every bird flying over here must be cautious, as if it may be shot down at any time.

"Come down." Heibingtai Bushi said.

Yun Zhonghe got out of the carriage.

This is the Shangqing Palace, and Yun Zhonghe is right in front of the huge palace gate.

At this time, the palace door was closed.

"Go forward." Nangong Avenue in Heibingtai.

Yun Zhonghe's eyes were filled with darkness and he walked forward without seeing anything.

"Crunch..."

The door of Shangqing Palace slowly opened.

The most mysterious door of the Great Zhou Empire opens.

Yun Zhonghe walked in and entered the mysterious Shangqing Palace, known as the seat of the true and highest power of the Great Zhou Empire.

Because the Supreme Emperor lived in seclusion here, he was the greatest monarch in the Zhou Empire for hundreds of years.

After walking more than ten steps!

A hoarse voice came from Yun Zhonghe's ear.

"stop!"

Yun Zhonghe stopped.

"Take off the hood."

Yun Zhonghe reached out and took off his hood, but his eyes were still closed.

"Open your eyes!"

Yun Zhonghe opened his eyes, then couldn't help but trembled, revealing a look of extreme surprise.

This is the Shangqing Palace of the Supreme Emperor.

However, in front of him at this time were two bloody heads! !
