surnamed Wang

Chapter 92 Spy
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Liu Luming didn't feel embarrassed. He didn't plan to drive away until the last person left.

At this moment, he found that there was still a person standing on the side of the street in front of him, holding a celebratory windmill in his hand.

Liu Luming was stunned after seeing the other person's face clearly, and then his eyes became moist. He got off his horse and walked in front of the person, shouting tremblingly: "Father!"

The only person left at the scene was none other than Liu Luming's father, Liu Jianbai, a first-rank university scholar at the time.

"Father, have you stood here all morning?" Liu Luming asked while supporting the old man.

Liu Jianbai nodded with a smile, his eyes were full of kindness and relief. Although he doted on his children, he rarely took the initiative to show it. At this moment, he put his hands on Liu Luming's shoulders and said with a smile: "My son is promising!" He also handed over the windmill in his hand.

Liu Luming took over the windmill, tears streaming down his face.

But on the other hand, Wang Gingquan went all the way back to the palace, fell on the bed without washing up, slept for the whole afternoon, when he woke up, the sky outside was already full of stars.

"Come on!"

"Your Highness, did you sleep comfortably?"

Wang Gangquan, who was still a little sleepy, was startled when he saw the other person's face clearly, not for anything else, but because the other person had a face exactly like his.

The frightened Wang Gangquan raised his foot and kicked: "Damn, are you going to scare me to death?"

Only then did the person who was kicked realize that he quickly took off the mask from his face, and it was Xiao Chunzi under the mask.

Xiaochunzi explained while rubbing his buttocks: "I'm so excited to know you're back, so I forgot about it."

Wang Gingquan waved his hands to show that he didn't care, then looked at Xiao Chunzi suspiciously, and after a long while, he said leisurely: "I was working hard outside, but you actually gained a lot of weight."

Xiao Chunzi scratched her head embarrassingly: "It's all thanks to you."

Wang Gangquan stared at the other party for a moment and then looked away. He didn't care about these things, after all, these days when he was away, thanks to Xiao Chunzi's disguise, it would not arouse unnecessary suspicion.

As for showing his true face in Kaipingwei, he didn't care. After all, with Wang Bingde's heavy scheming, he would know that Kaipingwei's matter had something to do with him sooner or later.

But then again, what about the letters that the old emperor asked him to pick up?

"Your Highness, the Supreme Emperor ordered someone to come here in the afternoon, saying that he will let you enter the palace when you wake up." At this time, Xiao Chunzi reminded from the side.

"Oh, then help me get ready, I'll go there after I've showered and changed."

He really wanted to do whatever he wanted, and it happened that Wang Gangquan wanted to ask the old emperor about something.

An hour later, Wang Gangquan finally finished washing up and put on brand new clothes.

This bath can be said to be the most comfortable one he has ever taken. Although the trip to the northwest only lasted more than ten days, let alone taking a bath in that damn place, it would be nice to have a drink.

Coupled with the drought and sandstorms in the northwest, Wang Gingquan felt that he was parched, so this time he was only willing to get out of the tub because of the buoyancy.

When he came out, the bath water had turned into a yellow soup mixed with a lot of sand.

The refreshed Wang Gingquan pushed the door out and happened to meet a maid in the mansion. The maid was taken aback when she saw him, then she blushed and walked away with her head down.

Wang Gangquan was a little puzzled, thinking that he was too handsome after taking a shower, so he didn't take it seriously, but he gradually discovered that all the maids he met along the way were like this.

For this reason, Wang Gingquan deliberately checked his clothes several times, and after confirming that he was indeed neatly dressed and not bare, he turned his attention to Xiao Chunzi who was at the side.

Originally, it was just a subconscious move, but it was discovered that the other party's eyes were a little bit dodged at the moment.

Wang Gingquan squinted his eyes first, and smiled at Xiaochunzi, then with a swift force, he pushed him against the wall beside him, and at some point in his hand, there was an extra dagger, and the sword pointed directly at the opponent's vital point.

"What did you do while I was not at home, believe it or not, I made you a real eunuch?"

The unsuspecting Xiao Chunzi's face turned green, and he quickly shook his head and explained, "Your Highness, even if you kill me, I won't dare to mess around, it's all Concubine Yang..."

"What does this have to do with the concubine?"

Wang Gangquan's knife always kept the original distance.

"The imperial concubine probably wants to arrange a marriage for you again. She may feel that you are not enlightened, so she secretly bribed the housekeeper and asked him to arrange a maid to come to your room to warm the bed every day. You know how hard it took for the little one to hold it. Is it?"

When Xiaochunzi said this, his tone was full of grievances, and there was a bit of regret in the grievances.

"Really didn't touch any of them?" Wang Gangquan asked suspiciously.

"Of course not! The villain is for His Highness, but his internal injuries are almost coming out!"

"That's good."

Wang Gingquan let go of Xiao Chunzi, although his tone was calm, but his heart was full of disappointment: Why didn't this kind of good thing happen to me?
After the farce ended, Wang Gangquan got into the carriage, Xiaochunzi shook the reins and drove towards the palace.

After entering the palace, the carriage still stopped in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Wang Gingquan got out of the carriage. After arranging his clothes, he raised his legs and stepped on the stone steps.

Although Wang Gingquan was wearing a brocade shirt at this time, there was a sword hanging from his waist that did not match the clothes. Emperor Sheng En had said hello in advance, so he could bring the sword into the palace.

When he got to the door, Wang Bingquan kicked the door directly, and the old emperor, who was writing at his desk in the hall, couldn't help trembling.

Wang Bingquan, who had just entered the door, was also taken aback, because besides Sheng Endi, there was also the second prince Wang Bingde.

"Okay, just do as I say."

Sheng Endi gave the written document to Wang Bingde and ordered.

The latter accepted the document with a nod, turned and left without looking at Wang Gangquan the whole time.

Wang Gangquan was not a back-and-forth master, and he ignored the other party, and went straight to the old emperor.

Today's old emperor is over fifty years old, his temples are white, and his face has more wrinkles than in previous years.

Wang Gingquan sat down as before, poured himself a cup of tea first, took a sip and said, "It tastes good, but it's worse than the one from my concubine's place."

At this moment, the old emperor's face completely lost the majesty in front of Wang Bingde just now, and said with a smile: "It is true, the best tea in the palace is at your mother's concubine, but she refused to give it to me, insisting that I drink it in person Just do it."

Wang Gingquan is not a child, he still knows Yang Guifei's thoughts, so he explained: "Mother Concubine said that if her tea is not brewed by special methods, the taste will be halved."

The old emperor was still smiling, and said bluntly, "Your mother and son are exactly alike. They are not scheming, but they are a little clever."

"Isn't that good?" Wang Gingquan looked at the old emperor with a half-smile, as if he had already seen through what he was thinking.

"very good."

In front of this somewhat clever son, Sheng Endi didn't need to hide anything.

It was night, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there was a table in the hall, and a charcoal stove was placed in the middle of the table. The copper pot on top of the charcoal stove was steaming right now, and the table was surrounded by various fresh meat and vegetables. .

The father and son in the house were sitting around the charcoal stove, waiting for the soup in the pot to boil completely.

Wang Gangquan was the first to pick up a piece of fresh mutton and put it into the pot, turned it back and forth a few times, and then quickly picked it up.

"Okay, the water is hot, you can eat the meat."

While talking, Wang Gangquan couldn't wait to stuff the mutton into his mouth.

Seeing this, the old emperor on the opposite side picked up a few slices of vegetables and put them into the pot, and asked, "Is the trip to the northwest going well?"

"Oh, it's going well, it's not thanks to the sword that my father gave me!"

Wang Gangquan replied while eating the mutton, and he didn't forget to flatter him.

"You are modest. I heard that you defeated the number one warrior in North Turkistan?"

"Where is the father, it is not thanks to your sword manual. The power of your swordsmanship can be described as shocking. As soon as I made a move, the first bullshit warrior on the opposite side knelt down and begged for mercy!"

He wasn't surprised that Sheng En knew these details, so he didn't hide it, and flattered him to the end.The thought in Wang Gangquan's heart is that if you wear thousands of clothes and flatter you, I just refuse to admit my strength, so what can you do with me?

The old emperor could naturally hear that Wang Gangquan's unsophisticated flattery was to avoid the serious and ignore the minor, and he didn't point it out.

"Father, if you continue to ask, the tofu in the pot will turn into tofu residue."

Hearing this, the old emperor remembered that there were still vegetables cooking in the pot, and hurriedly took them out carefully.

"Father, I have a question, how do you plan to deal with Yan Hanhai?" Wang Gangquan's rare expression became serious.

The old emperor glanced at him, "Do you want to intercede for him?"

Wang Gangquan immediately smiled when he heard the words: "Father is wise!"

"Heh, as soon as you poke your ass, I know what shit you're going to do."

"Forehead…"

Wang Gangquan was speechless for a while, and it took him a while to clear his mind.

"Father, let's eat, so don't talk about the topic of dinner. I think that although Yan Chanhai has done something this time, he also has merit. Although the merit and demerit cannot be offset, we still need to be more cautious in punishing him. Better."

This time it was Sheng Endi who started eating without raising his head. He looked down on hot pot at first, but he didn't expect it to become more and more addictive. Just now he had poured a whole plate of mutton into the pot.

Wang Gangquan saw that the other party was eating happily, so he could only wait helplessly.

"If you want to intercede, I will go to your brother emperor tomorrow. After all, he is the emperor now, so it doesn't count if I say it."

The old emperor spread his hands, the implication is obvious, it made your boy refuse to be the emperor at the beginning, but now he asks for someone, doesn't he?
Hearing the words, Wang Gangquan had a mournful face, he really didn't want to get in touch with the eldest prince, he obviously gave up the throne to him, but there was always some inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart.

Moreover, Wang Bingxian was too old-fashioned and upright, even with a hint of pedantry, he could imagine that if he begged for mercy, he would be told the truth, this person was really hard to get close to.

close?A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Wang Gangquan's mind, and then he said to himself: "It seems that it is not impossible."

The old emperor at the side glanced at him sideways, thinking that this kid must have thought of some bad tricks again, so he didn't bother to talk to him, and continued cooking the mutton on his own.

After thinking about it, Wang Bingquan changed back into a smiling face, and said, "Father, it's okay if you don't want to help, but you have to tell me, what was written on the letter you asked Wang Bingde to take away that day?"

Hearing this, the old emperor stopped the chopsticks in his hand, paused for a while, sighed and said: "There are fine works in Beijing!"

Such things as spies have existed since ancient times, and there is a saying in the art of war: Know yourself, know your enemy, and win every battle. The importance of intelligence in war is self-evident.

Because information is so important, no country dares to say that there are no enemy spies on its land. Even the dynasty itself has planted many hidden stakes in neighboring countries one after another.

Among them, the most famous one is the Twelve Secret Guards who are directly under the emperor's jurisdiction. Except for a few resident guards in the capital who secretly protect the emperor, the rest are all arranged in the hostile countries of Eastern Han and Northern Turkistan.

But an ordinary spy would definitely not let the emperor personally intervene, so Wang Gangquan asked tentatively: "Father means that there are spies in the court?"

The old emperor nodded when he heard the words, and said, "It's not the court, but the palace."

"In the palace?"

Wang Gingquan thought quickly, since the Supreme Emperor could go out in person, naturally it would not be a young man, the most likely would be the prince or empress.

Without waiting for Wang Gangquan to continue thinking, the emperor took the lead in saying the answer: "It's the queen mother!"

"Oh ah?"

Wang Gangquan's mind didn't turn the corner all of a sudden.

The Empress Dowager, the former Empress, is the mother of the current Emperor Wang Bingxian.

One person is under one person and over ten thousand people, if Emperor Shengen burps one day, she can save herself from being under one person, so is it worthwhile to do treason?

"Father, is there any misunderstanding?"

Wang Gangquan still couldn't believe it. After all, this matter was too unbelievable. Simply put, I betrayed myself.

No one will believe this.

"I didn't believe it at first, but when the letter was on the table, I had to believe it."

"What was written in the letter?"

"Dynasty deployment."

After hearing the answer, Wang Gangquan couldn't help but fell silent. Leaking military aircraft is a first-class death penalty. Why did the Queen Mother do this?

Concubine Yang Guifei talked about many things in the palace and court with Wang Gangquan before, including the empress at that time.

The queen's father was a general in the court. This general was the first group of people who followed Taizu Emperor Wang Mu. He accompanied Taizu in the southern and northern wars for many years, and even sacrificed his life several times to save each other. Therefore, the two formed a bond. Deep friendship.

This general had no children and only one daughter. At a banquet, Wang Mu, who had not yet become emperor, joked with him after drinking, saying that he would marry him as in-laws. Unexpectedly, the other party took this joke seriously. , Repaired a book on the spot and sent it home, so that the daughter who was waiting for her to go to the capital.

This incident should have been a happy event, but the general failed to wait for his daughter's arrival, and died in the last decisive battle.

Faced with the woman who came all the way, Taizu Wang Mu was very ashamed, so he betrothed her to his second son of the same age as agreed.

After the two got married, the husband and wife were harmonious, and they gave birth to a son in the second year. It was also in this year that Zhennan General Hou Dachang rebelled.

Wang Mu's second son, who is now Sheng Endi, left his wife and infant You in tears and led his troops to the battlefield.

Before he left, Taizu Wang Mu had promised him that when he returned from his achievements, he would be the current crown prince.

When he returned again, it was three years later.

After returning, he determined to become the prince, and after several years of fratricide, he finally sat on the throne.

Because of the guilt he felt for neglecting his wife these years, even though there were several concubines in the harem who were more noble than her, he still chose to make this woman his queen.

It's just that with the passage of time, the relationship between the two is no longer as pure as it was at the beginning.
