Chapter 198 Infernal Affairs
Fang Xuanling had no waves on the ancient well, but in fact, he had already felt shocked in his heart.
The fourth update is here! Please support!
This was not the first time he heard someone say that the King of Qin should have the world. He had heard that even the saying that the King of Qin should have the world if he had the virtue star.
Half a year ago, after defeating Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong, the Qin King entered Luoyang. At that time, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji, the confidant advisers of the Qin King, had secretly discussed it. He felt that after the victory of the Central Plains War, the situation of Li Tang unifying the world had arrived.
If the world is unified, the court will inevitably surrender martial arts and cultivate culture. Where will the King of Qin, who have established great military achievements for the Li Tang, and the group of counselors and generals of the Qin Palace, go?
They are all the confidants of the King of Qin and have the heart of assisting the dragon.
At that time, there was a very famous prime minister named Wang Yuanzhi in Luoyang. He had two students, one named Li Mi and the other named Wang Shichong. These two students were both called kings and emperors in the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but this person was always called sick because he had predicted that Li Mi and Wang Shichong would be defeated, and he also expected that Li Yuan would win the world.
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui found Wang Yuanzhi at that time, and then took Li Shimin to see him. The four of them secretly met Wang Yuanzhi, but Wang Yuanzhi said bluntly that there was a saint among them and asked if it was King Qin.
At that time, Li Shimin did not deny it, and then Wang Yuanzhi said something, "The King of Qin should cherish himself."
Changsun Wuji asked you if you said that the King of Qin often charged in battle?
As a result, Wang Yuanzhi knelt directly in front of Li Shimin and said, "The emperor cannot take risks in case, he must love himself."
Later, before leaving, he gave Li Shimin another sentence, "The virtue star guards Qin, and the king should have a world. The king of Qin is the emperor of Taiping, and the world will be peaceful because the king of Qin is the emperor."
It was also after that time that Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui publicly advised Li Shimin to prepare. After that, the King of Qin finally began to recruit military generals and scholars more actively, and sent people to make friends with powerful and local gentry in Guandong, secretly focusing on Luoyang.
Only five people know about this, but now Zhang Chao actually said what Wang Yuanzhi said. Fang Xuanling believed that Wang Yuanzhi had definitely not said what he said to others, and that no one would say to him and Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, would have no one to say to the public, and the King of Qin was even more impossible.
Once such words are heard, they involve rebellion, and no one can benefit.
Fang Xuanling suddenly realized that he could not see through Zhang Chao. Could it be that Zhang Chao really knows divination?
Zhang Chao felt that he had suppressed Fang Xuanling because the prophecy he had just said was read from a historical material. The book records that this prophecy was a god named Wang Yuanzhi, and only Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji knew about his prophecy.
Wang Yuanzhi also predicted that his students Li Mi and Wang Shichong would be defeated, and also predicted that Li Yuan would win the world.
He believed that these words would definitely have a great impact on Li Shimin. People at this time still believed in the destiny.
The smile on Fang Xuanling's face disappeared, and he was extremely serious, and it could even be seen that he was very nervous.
Just be nervous, it means that he really believed in his words. After all, no matter how he investigated, he could not find out that Zhang Chao had anything to do with Wang Yuanzhi from Luoyang. Zhang Chao used to practice in the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains with the hidden monk Master Sanzang.
Of course, no one can find out the past of this Sanzang Master.
This makes Master Sanzang appear more and more brilliant and mysterious.
At this time, Zhang Chao actually wanted to laugh, and laughed loudly. Finally, someone could share his hard work. Now I am afraid that Fang Xuanling will also begin to believe in Tianming.
It's been a long time.
Fang Xuanling finally calmed down a little.
"Have you told other people about this?"
"Absolutely, I have always suppressed these words in my heart. You don't know how painful it is. Today, when I heard the promulgation and transferred me to the East Palace, I suddenly panicked."
"Don't worry, this matter may not be a bad thing." Fang Xuanling comforted Zhang Chao. He was afraid that if Zhang Chao could not bear it and could not help but reveal his secrets to others, then something would be a big deal.
Fang Xuanling thought about the words, "This may be a good thing."
Looking at Fang Xuanling's expression, Zhang Chao actually understood his meaning in seconds.
"Do you want me to be an undercover agent in the East Palace?"
"It is to let me be in Cao's camp and be in the Han Dynasty, secretly lurk in the East Palace, be a spy of the King of Qin, inform the King of Qin, and secretly collect information from the Eastern Palace."
After saying that, Zhang Chao suddenly wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
Isn’t this digging a hole for myself to jump? In this way, wouldn’t I be determined to wash my horse? I also have to take on dangerous undercover tasks.
I will make you speak quickly and make you smart.
Sure enough, Fang Xuanling smiled.
I laugh at you, I don’t want to be an undercover agent!
"I will tell you your intentions to the King of Qin. You can go to the Eastern Palace to take office with peace of mind, and you have to work hard to do a good job in the Eastern Palace. It is best to have a good relationship with the officials of the Eastern Palace and have a good relationship with the prince. If you can become the prince's confidant, that would be the best. In this way, you can also get in touch with and participate in the Eastern Palace discussions and learn more about the Eastern Palace information."
This task is too difficult for me. If the undercover agent is discovered, he will die very miserably.
And even if I succeed in the future, I will be able to escape. At that time, will everyone call me Zhang Sanlang a traitor? What about my reputation? Who cares about my reputation?
"You can't come to my house often in the future." Fang Xuanling's identity changed quickly and had already transformed into an underground party contact informant. "I will find other better contact information in the future."
Zhang Chao regretted it very much. He felt that he had been cheated by his stupidity again.
The closed-door street drums had already sounded, and Zhang Chao also quickly rode his horse out of the city before closing the door.
Fang Xuanling sat alone in the hall, falling into deep thought.
Many advisers and generals of the Qin King's Mansion actually supported the Qin King's fight for the throne. This was a matter of rebellion and was doing it with their heads. Today, after listening to Zhang Chao's words, Fang Xuanling suddenly felt that there was a bright future and had more confidence in his heart.
"But, prepare horses for me."
Fang Xuanling shouted, picked up his robe and put it on, and hurried out.
"Mr. Lang is still out so late?"
Mrs. Lu came over when she heard the sound.
"Well, I remember that there is another important thing to report to the King of Qin."
Fang Xuanling rode away in a hurry.
Qin Wang Mansion.
Li Shimin was having supper, and three days later it was a triumphant entry ceremony. At that time, the soldiers who went to Hebei would select 10,000 people to escort the prisoners into the city and offer them to the Taimiao.
It is actually quite troublesome to enter the city to offer prisoners, but in order to show the national prestige, no matter how troubles are, it is impossible to miss it.
"Your Highness, I ask for a visit in the room."
Li Shimin was picking up a piece of Zhang Ji Su Chi for his wife Changsun. He heard that Fang Xuanling was coming, and he was very surprised. He talked to Fang Xuanling for a long time in the afternoon. Why did it come over after such a while?
"Fang Xuanling came when it was dark, and there must be something important. I have avoided it. Your Highness will talk to him here. Maybe he hasn't had dinner yet, so you can talk while eating." Changsun said.
"You haven't finished eating Guanyinbi yet, so let him go to the front hall to wait."
"Your Highness's affairs are important, and I'm almost full."
When Changsun went down, Li Shimin asked someone to invite Fang Xuanling in.
"Xuanling, I guess you must have not had dinner yet, so you just came here to use it together." Li Shimin called Fang Xuanling to sit down.
After Fang Xuanling sat down, he looked around several times.
"What is Xuanling looking at?"
"Your Highness, I have a very confidential report."
"Liu Shili, Changsun Wuda!"
Outside the house, two generals came in.
"You bring people outside to watch, and anyone who dares to approach this house twenty steps and kill immediately without mercy!"
"Abide by the order!"
"Now you can say what's going on."
"It's related to Zhang Chao."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment. Fang Xuanling came and couldn't even wait for a night, just for Zhang San's business. Today, he heard that the prince brought the alcohol and Baiyaofang to the East Palace Pharmaceutical Collection Bureau, and he just cursed him a few words. As for Zhang Chao's removal from the Ministry of Works and being transferred to the prince for horse washing, he was just a little surprised.
In fact, it would not have much impact on him if Zhang Sanlang was a member of the Ministry of Works or the prince was a prince. He thought this was normal. After all, Zhang San’s wife was the cousin of the Crown Princess, and Zheng Shanguo, the left illegitimate son of Zuochunfang of the East Palace, was Zhang San’s wife’s uncle.
As for Cheng Chumo and others who were also transferred to the East Palace to be guards, it was not a big deal.
This is quite common. It is not that being an official in the Eastern Palace or becoming an official in the King of Qin must be someone's close friend. Cheng Yao Jinniu Jinda Yuchi Gong could not have become a member of the Eastern Palace just because his son was in the Eastern Palace.
Li Shiji could not choose to turn to the prince just because his brothers were in the Eastern Palace.
Qin Qiong would not go to the East Palace just because his adopted son was in the East Palace.
Although he felt a little regretful, Zhang Sanlang brought the prince to the East Palace. Li Shimin actually felt that Zhang San was sometimes very anxious and wanted him to work in his Qin Palace, and he didn't want the prince to take the lead.
But that's all.
"Your Highness, Zhang Chao is not only good at cooking but also medical skills, but also divination and observation of people's qi."
Li Shimin laughed at the ear, "I know everything about Zhang Sanlang. Is it his master, Master Sanzang, who taught him?" He didn't care much in his heart.
But when Fang Xuanling talked about the prophecies that Zhang Chao told him, what is the virtue star guarding Qin, the Qin King as the ruler of the world, what is the Emperor Taiping, what is the purple qi and golden dragon on his head, etc.
Li Shimin was also stunned.
"Xuanling, aren't you kidding?" Li Shimin lowered his voice.
"How dare I joke about such things?"
"Why did Zhang San tell you this?"
"He said that his heart belongs to the King of Qin and did not dare to betray the will of heaven. Even if he went to the Eastern Palace to serve, he would still be in Cao's camp and be in the Han Dynasty. He was willing to undercover the Eastern Palace for His Highness!"
Without Fang Xuanling's explanation, Li Shimin also understood the meaning of the word undercover.
The amount of information was a bit large, and Li Shimin put down his chopsticks and frowned and thoughtful!
