First Secret Agent in History

In fact, strictly speaking, Yun Zhonghe's actions this time were indeed quite desperate.

First of all, he was trying to make a fool of himself, using the emperor's gift to make trouble.

The Supreme Emperor gave him the word, with the intention of protecting his and Ao Xin's personal safety, at least until mid-February, so that he would not be killed.

Even if Lin Lu sends people to arrest him, as long as you shout, "Here is the calligraphy gift given by the Supreme Emperor," Lin Lu will not dare to come and arrest him even if he is too bold, let alone tear up the calligraphy gift given by the Supreme Emperor.

So you, Aoyu, not only failed to protect the Supreme Emperor's calligraphy treasure, but also used it to eradicate political opponents, which is very cruel.

Is the Supreme Emperor someone you can use too?

Secondly, your actions are driving a wedge between the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor.

How about your Ao Yu's awe for the royal family?

Therefore, to a certain extent, the charges that Da Zongzheng and Lin Xiang convicted Ao Yu were not wrong.

But Yun Zhonghe still did this, based on his special understanding of the Supreme Emperor.

The sending of Nangong Er to arrest Ao Yu this time originally represented some kind of anger, because among the many adopted sons of Nangong Cuo, this Nangong Er was the most cruel.

But even the cruel Nangong Er was rare and respectful when he came to Ao Xin.

"Commander Ao Xin, I'm very sorry, we need to take Ao Yu away."

Yun Zhonghe stood up and said, "Mom and dad, don't worry, I will go with Brother Nangong and I will come back safely without damaging a single hair."

Nangong Er waved his hand, and two warriors stepped forward and took Yun Zhonghe away.

Ao Xin's face trembled. After eating the remaining Yuanxiao, he stood up, shaking uncontrollably. Then he dragged his sick body out of the door and walked towards the Shangqing Palace while coughing.

…………………………………………

Ao Yu was arrested, and went directly to Heibingtai instead of Dali Temple Prison.

The news quickly spread to all parties, and everyone was eagerly awaiting it.

Will the Supreme Emperor react?

Within the Black Ice Platform Prison, Yun Zhonghe was sitting on a chair.

This is the execution room, filled with all kinds of torture instruments. It looks chilling. There are also black blood stains. It is obvious that the blood and even lives of countless people have been lost on these torture instruments.

There is also an hourglass on the table, which is moving sand, representing the countdown.

Nangong held a dagger in his hand and was cutting his nails. After cutting his fingernails, he cut his toenails.

Then he brought over another piece of bacon, cut it off piece by piece, and ate it, making Yun Zhonghe lick it hard.

Not to mention that this bacon is raw, but the outer layer is covered with white salt. If you can eat it, won't it kill you?

Yun Zhonghe even heard the sound of Nangong Er chewing salt. Your dagger was already salty just after cutting off your toenails.

Seeing Yun Zhonghe looking over, Nangong Er cut off a piece of bacon and said, "Would you like to eat it?"

Yun Zhonghe quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, thank you, thank you."

Looking at Nangong Er's posture of peeling bacon, he felt as if he was peeling meat off himself, because this man's reputation for cruelty was so widespread, and countless people died at his hands.

"Yeah!" Nangong Er continued to cut and eat.

In this way, Nangong Er ate a large piece of bacon, more than three kilograms, including more than half a kilogram of salt, which made Yun Zhonghe's scalp feel numb.

After eating, Nangong Er brought over a large pot of wine, and it was a very cheap turbid wine.

Tons, tons, tons, tons, tons.

He drank a large pot of turbid wine in one go, then patted his stomach and burped.

"Almost." Nangong Er said: "Ao Yu, do you know what we are waiting for?"

"I know." Yun Zhonghe said.

Nangong Er said: "The higher ups want you to die because you failed to protect the Supreme Emperor's calligraphy treasure, and you also used his old man to eradicate your enemies, and are even suspected of alienating the two saints. These crimes combined are enough to kill you ten times." All over.”

Yun Zhonghe said: "The superiors want to kill me, but they are worried that the Supreme Emperor will protect me, so they will punish me first to test the reaction of the Supreme Emperor. If there is no reaction from the Shangqing Palace, your punishment will be worse." It will get harder and harder, and eventually it will kill me. If there is any reaction from the Supreme Emperor, you will let me go."

Nangong Er nodded and said: "I originally admired your father because he was selfless and offended countless powerful people. But now I have begun to admire you, because you are not selfless, but you have offended more people. So many people want to kill you. , how did you do it?"

Yun Zhonghe said: "I don't know either. I have reached this point without knowing it. Second brother, are you here to torture me?"

"No." Nangong Er said: "Someone has taken this job. Four masters, come in and wait."

After a while, four Wushan Taoist priests came in, the same four Taoist priests that the queen had originally sent to exorcise Ao Yu.

Nangong Er said: "Four masters, how do you plan to punish Master Ao Yu? Tell us first so that we can open our eyes."

The Wushan Taoist priest said: "It's not a punishment, it's not a punishment. I just suspect that Mr. Aoyu is possessed by evil spirits, so I came to exorcise him."

Another Wushan Taoist priest said: "We have fifteen large needles, one thicker than the other and longer than the other, and they are driven into Mr. Ao Yu's body from different acupoints. If the first three needles are nailed in, it will be excruciating pain." If the first six nails are driven in, the body will be disabled from the waist down, and it will be completely paralyzed, with no consciousness. If the first ten nails are driven in, the body will be disabled from the neck down."

The third Wushan Taoist priest said: "On the eleventh, twelve nails penetrate the ears, thirteen, fourteen nails penetrate the eyes, and the fifteenth nail penetrates the top of the head. That means he is dead."

Sure enough, the cruel torture cannot even be called torture, but a cruel method of execution.

Could this be considered exorcism?

Yun Zhonghe said coldly: "Don't you know that Lin Lu was just killed by nine tribes? How dare you attack me?"

The first Wushan Taoist priest said: "First of all, we did not damage the calligraphy of the Supreme Emperor. We have great respect for him."

The second Wushan Taoist priest said: "Secondly, Shangqing Palace must have known about the news that you were captured by Black Ice Platform. If there is no reaction, it means that the Supreme Emperor does not care about your life or death at all."

The third Wushan Taoist priest said: "Then, you use the Supreme Emperor's calligraphy to eradicate the enemy. This is the greatest disrespect to the Supreme Emperor. Don't you think that the Supreme Emperor is extremely disgusted with you at this time? Maybe if we kill you, it will make him Where is the old man Long Yan Dayue?"

The fourth Wushan Taoist priest said: "Finally, the Supreme Emperor is practicing Taoism at this time, and many of the scriptures were presented by us in Wushan. And the current Wushan Taoist Palace was also built under the orders of the Supreme Emperor. In terms of the relationship with the Supreme Emperor, we are closer than you Much, much more.”

"It's almost time." The first Wushan Taoist priest said: "Let's take out the things."

Then these Wushan Taoist priests took out the box, opened it, and took out fifteen iron needles. Sure enough, they were getting longer and thicker. The thickest one was completely an iron nail, and it was more than half a foot long. Long, it needs to be nailed down from the center of the head.

It looks really creepy.

Then, they took out hammers, five hammers in total, of different sizes.

This is just part of their strange equipment, there are even more weird things.

"There is still a quarter of an hour. If the Emperor's decree has not come yet, we will start." The first Wushan Taoist priest said: "It will be very painful at first, because the first needle is to be driven into your thumb nail. Got in."

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Just hearing this makes me miserable.

"Wait, wait, the time is almost up."

Then, everyone stared at the hourglass. As soon as all the sand ran out, these Wushan Taoist priests began to torture!

Yun Zhonghe is about to face the most brutal torture since time travel.

…………………………………………

At this time, several high-level officials in the capital were staring in the direction of Shangqing Palace.

The Queen, Prime Minister Lin, Prince Da Zong Zhengsu, Emperor Wan Yun, etc.

Will the Supreme Emperor issue an order to save Ao Yu?

If there was no response from Shangqing Palace, then Ao Yu would be dead, and he would die miserably.

Duan Yu, the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, said: "It's almost time. There is still no response from the Shangqing Palace. Ao Yu is dead, dead."

Princess Su said: "The Supreme Emperor really just took pity on Ao Xin, an old minister, so he gave him the title. He had no intention of protecting Ao Yu. Moreover, Ao Yu's use of the Supreme Emperor to eradicate his enemies would only completely anger him."

Ao Ming's eyes flickered.

He saw something more profound. If the Supreme Emperor issued an order to save Ao Yu at this time, it would be the first time he truly spoke out publicly.

This will make many people uneasy. The Supreme Emperor has never made any public voice before. Even when the southern border rebels and the empire seems to be in danger, the Supreme Emperor has not issued any decree.

If the Supreme Emperor has a decree now, it will make people daydream. It will make people think that there is some gap between the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor?

…………………………………………

The queen sat with her eyes closed, holding a string of pearls in her hand, counting them one by one.

She is also waiting for time to pass.

In another quarter of an hour, in another quarter of an hour, the little thief Ao Yu will be dead.

There is still no movement from the Supreme Emperor.

If when the sun sets, which is the You hour, and the Supreme Emperor still has no decree, then everything is over.

After that, everything continued, completely quiet, and Ao Yu died in vain.

But if the Supreme Emperor's decree really comes through, there will be huge turmoil in the court.

Because many people would think, why did the Supreme Emperor want to save Ao Yu? Is it that the Supreme Emperor is unwilling to be lonely? Taking advantage of the opportunity?

So even though Emperor Wan Yun was reading the memorial at this time, he didn't ask a single question.

But he didn't even read a word.

In fact, he didn't care about Ao Yu's life or death, and he didn't even have a strong intention to execute Ao Yu.

What he cared about was the reaction from the Supreme Emperor.

Killing Ao Yu was just another test of the Supreme Emperor.

Father, have you really retired completely? !

But you didn't move when someone shouted to return power to the Supreme Emperor, and now you want to move again?

…………………………………………

There is still some time until Youshi.

Under the gaze of everyone, the door of Shangqing Palace opened, and then a eunuch walked out quickly.

This seemed like an insignificant movement.

However, it was like a huge boulder that smashed into the calm lake, and then caused a shocking wave.

The Shangqing Palace actually responded, and what the eunuch actually had in his hands was the Supreme Emperor's will.

No, to be precise, it is the Taoist decree of Wuwei Daojun.

Seeing the Shangqing Palace open, the eunuch walked out three miles away.

The Supreme Emperor actually has a will.

This...this...this is terrible.

Does the Supreme Emperor really want to protect Ao Yu?

why is that? Why?

what does this mean? What signal does it represent?

In an instant, countless people and horses ran wildly.

The men and horses of Heibingtai, Prime Minister Lin, the imperial palace, and most of Prince Zhengsu's men ran back frantically to report the news to their respective masters.

For a moment, it really felt like a stone hitting the woods and scaring away countless birds.

The eunuch sent by the Supreme Emperor did not walk very fast. He did not even gallop on horseback, but walked very rhythmically.

It seems to give all parties enough time to react.

But no matter how slow the eunuch walked, he still reached the prison of Heibingtai after more than an hour.

The Emperor's decree was so accurate that it was sent directly to the prison of Black Ice Platform.

"Without the decree of the Taoist Lord, the four Taoist priests of Wushan used their Yus to make up for the damage, and insulted human life, harming the heaven and earth. The heaven and earth cannot tolerate it, so I ordered Heibingtai to execute him."

This decree is interesting. It is not directly aimed at Ao Yu, but it is to execute Wushan Taoist priests. It seems that it has nothing to do with political affairs and is an internal matter of Taoism.

But after hearing the decree, the four Taoist priests of Wushan were like thunder.

We... are just following orders, and we, the Supreme Emperor, are our own people. You are the Taoist Master of Wuwei, and we are also Taoists. Many of the bricks and tiles in your Shangqing Palace were excavated from our Wushan Mountains. The medicinal materials in your garden were also dug by us. The classics on your Taoism are presented by us. Yes.

We have not offended you, the Supreme Emperor, so why do you want to deal with us?

"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me, Taoist Wuwei, please have mercy on me..."

"My father-in-law, please report back to the Supreme Emperor. I once preached to him."

"We are just following orders, and we haven't harmed Mr. Ao Yu yet."

But the eunuch sent by the Supreme Emperor completely ignored him and said calmly: "Heibingtai, take the order!"

Nangong Er knelt down to receive the order, and then asked: "My father-in-law, may I ask if the Emperor has any order on how to execute these four Taoist priests?"

The eunuch said: "Repay him with his own way!"

Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but trembled, "Master Murong Fu, is that you?"

Of course, this sentence comes from some scriptures and is not the original creation of Mr. Jin Yong. Even the warlord Sun Dianying said this.

Nangong Er said: "I understand!"

"Come here, tie these four Taoist priests to chairs and drive fifteen long needles into their bodies."

Following Nangong Er's order, a group of black ice platform warriors rushed forward and tied the four Taoist priests to the execution chair.

Then the torture was carried out according to what the four Taoist priests had said before.

The first needle was driven into the big toes of four people.

A moment later, extremely shrill screams came from the torture chamber of Heibingtai, making Yun Zhonghe's scalp numb.

Damn, this hurts too much.

How terrible! I can't stand just watching, let alone being tortured?

The eunuch sent by the Supreme Emperor watched all this with a blank expression, because he wanted to supervise the tragic deaths of the four Taoist priests and then report to the Supreme Emperor.

Nangong Er was very excited when he saw it, and even wanted to do it himself.

No... He couldn't wait to try this kind of torture with his own body. He was definitely a lunatic.

The four Taoist priests were right. After the three needles were nailed in, both legs were paralyzed from the waist down. After six injections, I was completely paralyzed from the neck down.

After the last long needle like an iron nail was driven in.

The four Wushan Taoist priests died completely tragically. Even if this matter is completed, the eunuch will return to Shangqing Palace to resume his life.

At this time, Nangong Er said: "My father-in-law, does the Supreme Emperor have any wishes regarding Ao Yu?"

The eunuch said: "No!"

No will? That means keeping it closed, but without causing any harm?

what does this mean?

Does this mean that the fight is not over yet, and is about to develop to a more terrifying level?

Everyone in the Black Ice Platform was trembling, worried that the situation would collapse next.

Only Nangong Er was still heartless. Looking at the tragic deaths of the four Wushan Taoist priests, he suddenly covered his stomach and said, "Oh, I was so excited just watching them perform the torture, and I'm actually hungry again."

Damn, you just ate several kilograms of bacon and drank several kilograms of turbid wine, and you're actually hungry again.

Something huge is happening right now, and you're not worried at all?

…………………………………………

The Supreme Emperor issued an order to execute four Wushan Taoist priests. This matter quickly spread throughout the capital.

Everyone knows that these four Taoist priests went to deal with Ao Yu, but now they were killed.

What does this mean? Slap the palace in the face?

Ao Yu, Supreme Protector, this news immediately made countless people feel despair, but they were completely puzzled.

Why is this? !

But everyone still holds their breath, waiting for the further development of the situation.

Because this thing is obviously not over yet, and even the real climax has not yet arrived.

Ning Huai'an, the admiral of the capital and the queen's cousin, has not yet been dealt with.

Moreover, when these four Wushan Taoist priests went to deal with Ao Yu, they were also acting under orders. Although no one publicly said whose orders they were following, some people still knew that it was the Queen.

The Supreme Emperor executed these four Taoist priests, what would he do to the Queen? What attitude does it represent?

Are you dissatisfied with the queen? Or are you dissatisfied with His Majesty the Emperor?

Shouldn't the queen be abolished? There is no reason at all. What on earth does the Supreme Emperor want to do?

Night is falling!

The entire capital city felt an almost suffocating feeling of oppression.

Everyone is waiting, to what level will the situation escalate?

Some ministers even have several levels in mind.

The lowest level of development was when the Supreme Emperor issued an order to release Ao Yu and execute Ning Huaian.

In the middle level of the situation, the Supreme Emperor issued an order to scold the Queen.

At the highest level of the situation, the Supreme Emperor... summoned His Majesty the Emperor.

If His Majesty the Emperor is really affected, where will all the courtiers go?

That was nothing short of a cataclysm, as if another nuclear bomb had exploded in the court.

Hold your breath!

Waiting for further orders from the Shangqing Palace.

…………………………………………

The next day!

Over at the Shangqing Palace, the door opened again, and the great eunuch Hou Chen came out.

Oh my God?

It turned out to be Hou Chen, the ancestor of eunuchs. He was the godfather of Hou Zheng, Hou Qing and other great eunuchs.

It was Hou Chen's ancestor who took action. This... something big was going to happen.

What a big deal!

The hearts of countless people in the entire court were beating wildly, and they could hardly breathe, because they had no idea what would happen next?

Hou Chen, the ancestral eunuch, boarded the sedan with a decree in his hand.

Everyone is staring at this sedan, where will it go?

At Ao Xin's house? Black ice platform?

Could it be the palace? !

If it were the palace, wouldn't it really mean that the sky had fallen?

Because in the eyes of many people, the emperor's decree can only be given to two people in the palace, either the queen or the emperor.

Immediately afterwards, something that shocked everyone happened. The sedan chair of the ancestor eunuch Hou Chen really headed towards the palace.

…………………………………………

The palace gate is open!

The old eunuch Hou Chen entered the palace. Although the sky was clear and cloudless at this time, many people still felt that there were dark clouds above his head. And as he entered the palace deeper, the dark clouds above his head became more and more condensed, brewing. Shocking thunder.

What is this purpose for the queen? Or does it belong to His Majesty the Emperor?

If it's the latter, then... that's really terrible.

The old eunuch Hou Chen entered the emperor's study.

In an instant, all the eunuchs and maids were kneeling on the ground and did not dare to make a sound.

Several ministers who were discussing matters in the emperor's study also withdrew one after another, and then knelt on the ground motionless.

"Old slave Hou Chen, see Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" The old eunuch Hou Chen came to Emperor Wan Yun, knelt down and kowtowed.

Emperor Wan Yun stepped forward and helped the old eunuch Hou Chen up.

"You see that Qing has lost a lot of weight. How is your father? How is your meal? How is your sleep?" Emperor Wan Yun asked kindly.

The old eunuch Hou Chen said: "Okay, the Supreme Emperor is in good health. He practices Taoism every day and his Taoism has become more and more advanced."

Emperor Wan Yun sighed: "I really want to kill my father, but he has a will. No one can disturb his practice except Xiangxiang."

This sentence is the key point. No one can enter the Shangqing Palace to see the Supreme Emperor. It expressed his will to completely hand over the power of government to Emperor Wan Yun.

So what now? The Supreme Emperor sent Hou Chen to the palace. What did he want to do? Has the Emperor's will changed?

After a brief exchange of greetings, the old eunuch Hou Chen said: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has a decree."

"Emperor, my father wants to summon you to come and talk to me, how about that?"

The Supreme Emperor's decree was extremely brief, and he called himself father, but it was like a thunderbolt that suddenly tore the hearts of everyone present.

The Supreme Emperor wants to summon His Majesty the Emperor?

And at this juncture?

When the previous war with the Great Victory Empire failed, the Supreme Emperor did not summon the Emperor. There was a rebellion in the southern region, the victory of the imperial army went south, and when the Zhou Empire was in crisis, the Supreme Emperor still did not summon the emperor.

At that time, Master Hu Yong was in the court, openly blaming the emperor and asking him to return the power to the Supreme Emperor.

At that time, the Supreme Emperor still had no reaction.

It has been almost eight years since Emperor Wan Yun ascended the throne. The Supreme Emperor has always stayed in the Shangqing Palace and has never summoned the emperor.

Now he was summoned!

Could it be that the sky is really falling?

Is it really going to change the color of heaven and earth?

But why? There was no warning at all. The most dangerous moment for the Zhou Empire had passed.

Some of the most terrifying words instinctively came to everyone's mind.

I couldn't help but recall that a few months ago, Lord Hu Yong from the Yushitai had remonstrated in front of all the civil and military officials, asking the emperor to return power to the Supreme Emperor.

Emperor Wan Yun's temple area bulged suddenly, and then he said: "My son, I obey the order!"

………………………………

An hour later!

Emperor Wan Yun traveled lightly, with only a few hundred people, riding Huang Mian, towards the Shangqing Palace.

The entire capital held its breath. Will what happens next be shattered? Where should the courtiers go then?

In fact, no one ordered the streets to be cleaned, but the streets of the capital were completely deserted, and it was afternoon, but all the doors and windows were closed.

People in the capital are very keen. When they feel something big is happening, they immediately hide in their houses.

Afternoon time!

Emperor Wan Yun entered the Shangqing Palace, and under the leadership of the old eunuch Hou Chen, went to the Wuwei Palace!

At this time, there was still the sound of chanting in the Wuwei Hall.

And the palace door is closed!

In fact, in these years, the door of Wuwei Palace has almost never been opened, and no one can enter the palace.

The Supreme Emperor's cultivation is truly thorough.

Emperor Wan Yun knelt down outside the door, kowtowed and said: "My son, please see your father!"

There was still the sound of chanting scriptures inside, but the Supreme Emperor did not respond immediately.

Emperor Wan Yun kowtowed again and said: "Father, my son has been on the throne for eight years and has made no achievements. I am ashamed of my ancestors. Please punish me!"

Although the emperor kept asking his father to punish him, his tone was quite ironclad.

Of course, the word "iron-bone" is not appropriate when used on the emperor. To be precise, his tone is respectful, but his heart is tough.

Because he also knew that the political consequences caused by the Supreme Emperor calling him into the Shangqing Palace were too serious.

It will cause fluctuations in the situation of the court and make people all over the world speculate. The key is, what do you want to do, Your Majesty?

The chanting inside ended, and then the voice of the Supreme Emperor came.

"Emperor, you are restless!"

Emperor Wan Yun kowtowed again and said: "My father is disappointed because of his incompetence. In recent years, my father has been unable to manage the country well, which has led to enemies in the north and rebellion in the south. All of this is my fault."

Emperor Wan Yun took a deep breath, and then said word by word: "Therefore, my son is willing to return power to his father!!"

………………………………

Note: I wrote until five o'clock in the morning again. I was so tired that I didn't even have the energy to ask for a monthly ticket! Sir, would you please give me your monthly pass?

I recommend Huan Yu's new book "Benefit in the World". This rich man also has a way of writing books.
