First Secret Agent in History

So did Ao Ting say such a thing?

What should I say? It should have been said before.

But that was several years ago, but the Emperor has not abdicated yet, so this word is not sensitive.

The Supreme Emperor that everyone knew at that time should still be the same one from the Great Xia Empire hundreds of years ago.

The situation was very complicated at that time. The emperor of a certain generation died suddenly and had no son, so he had to adopt a young prince from the royal family to inherit the throne.

And this young prince has a father, but this father is still a powerful official in the empire. Because of public opinion, he could not be the emperor himself, so he put his son on the throne.

When the young emperor ascended the throne, he was only twelve years old, so of course it was his father who was in charge of the power. He first conferred the title of regent, and later, feeling dissatisfied, he conferred the title of supreme emperor.

The great emperor of the Great Xia Empire had been in charge of the empire for thirty-five years. After his death, the forty-seventh emperor officially took charge.

The situation of the Ao family is similar. The children of the previous generation of Marquis Nulang died in infancy or died in battle, so there was no one to inherit the title, so Ao Xin was adopted.

After Ao Xin became Marquis of Nulang, he continued to build meritorious deeds and honor his ancestors. However, within the Ao family, Ao Ting always had the final say.

Ao Ting has always disliked Ao Yu and would always punish her with corporal punishment. Of course Ao Xin couldn't bear it, so she went to Ao Ting to plead for mercy.

Ao Ting forced Ao Xin to kneel down in the ancestral hall, and said in public that although you are the Marquis of Nulang, I have the final say in everything in this family, and I am the Supreme Emperor of the Ao family.

When he said this, many people heard it.

But at that time, Emperor Tianyan had not abdicated, and there was no Supreme Emperor in the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Of course it was okay for him to talk casually, and it was not serious. Moreover, when Emperor Tianyan was in power at that time, the public opinion atmosphere in the world was still very relaxed. .

but now……

You are jumping into the fire pit, you are hitting the edge of the knife.

It’s so heartbreaking! Are you making a mockery of His Majesty the Emperor?

You Ao Ting is the Supreme Emperor, then Ao Xin is equivalent to the emperor. But now that Ao Xin is in prison, are you cursing His Majesty the Emperor?

And you also said that you have the final say in this family. Are you insinuating that His Majesty the Emperor is a puppet?

They can't make the connection. This connection can scare people to the point of peeing.

What is the situation now? It's like a pot of boiling oil. Any drop of water will fry the pot.

Ao Ting really fainted. Several people hurriedly came forward to administer medicine and massage the person's body.

Father, father.

Ancestor, ancestor, wake up quickly.

………………………………

At this time, the imperial minister in the Governor's Mansion was also speechless, scolding Ao Yu for being troublesome.

He came to Jiangzhou this time to be a villain and killed countless people. He didn't know how many people would hate him.

Now that it's finally over, Jiangzhou has gradually calmed down. You, Ao Yu, are good, adding another fire and making the whole situation boil.

Your Ao family is so ruthless, you take no pleasure in stabbing each other.

But Ao Yu reported it in public, and the imperial envoy, who was the Minister of Punishment, could not pretend that he had not heard it, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Come here, take Ao Ting with you!

…………………………

The doctors here tried their best to revive the ancestor Ao Ting.

There was a group of people surrounding the bed, and his eyes immediately found Ao Ming, his most beloved grandson.

Ming'er, what should we do now? What should we do?

His son, Earl Ao Jing, said: Otherwise, we will firmly deny it and accuse the little beast Ao Yu of making false accusations?

Ao Ming shook his head and said: No, when grandpa said this, many people heard it. If you don't admit it at this time, it will be deceiving the emperor, and the crime may be even greater.

Ao Ting said: But if I admit it, His Majesty the Emperor will bear a grudge.

Ao Ming said: Wait!

Ancestor Ao Ting trembled: Wait? What are you waiting for?

Ao Ming said: Wait for greater changes to come!

At this moment, another son rushed in from outside.

Father, father, the imperial envoy's guards are here.

Ao Ting trembled all over, his vision went dark again, and he almost fainted again. It can't be said that he is useless. The key point is that the current atmosphere is too terrible. If it is not enough, it will be shattered into pieces.

Who in this world is not afraid of death? Only the crazy Yun Zhonghe from before would not care about life and death.

Quick, go and greet him. Ao Ting said tremblingly.

No need, because the imperial guards rushed in directly and said in a cold voice: Who is Ao Ting?

That's me. Ao Ting stepped forward and bowed.

You come with us!

…………………………

In the Governor's Mansion, several adults have already taken their seats, headed by the Imperial Envoy. On the left is Yushi Zhongcheng, and on the right is the Minister of Dali Temple.

Although this is not the capital, the scene in front of me really looks like a meeting of the three divisions.

Here, Ao Ting finally saw Ao Yu again.

This little beast, this little evil beast, why isn’t he dead? And your evil beast Ao Xin in the capital, why isn’t he dead yet?

If you die, wouldn't there be nothing left? How can there be such turmoil in the city now?

These two people do not need to kneel. Although Ao Ting did not win the imperial examination or Jinshi, he was still an official, and he was over seventy years old. People over this age can meet officials without kneeling. After all, the Southern Zhou Dynasty The empire can be considered to be governed by filial piety.

And Ao Yu is still a new member of the Xie Yuan Dynasty and has not been deprived of his fame, so there is no need to kneel down.

Is this Ao Ting? the imperial envoy asked.

It's the old man. Ao Ting bowed and said. Although he fainted at home, he was meticulous in the court, neither humble nor arrogant. He was also a person who had seen strong winds and waves.

The imperial envoy said: Ao Yu accused you of making treasonous and unethical remarks. Can you admit it?

Ao Ting said: Before I admit it, can I ask you about the laws of Zhou?

The imperial envoy said: Of course.

Ao Ting said: According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, how should the son sue his father? How should the grandson sue his grandfather?

This ancestor Ao Ting was still very sharp. As soon as he went to court, he immediately launched a sharp counterattack.

Before the imperial envoy could speak, Yushi Zhongcheng said directly: If a son accuses his father, even if his father is guilty, the son will be punished with fifty sticks and caned for half a year. If a grandson sues his grandfather, even if his grandfather is guilty, the grandson will be punished with one hundred canes and be fettered. One year.

The laws of the Southern Zhou Empire are really like this, and not only the Southern Zhou Empire, but also the Great Victory Empire and the Great Xia Empire are like this.

Only a country like the Xiliang Kingdom, which was regarded as a barbarian, did not have this law.

Ao Ting said: Ao Xin was adopted to my younger brother. He is my biological son, so this Ao Yu is my grandson. He actually reported on his grandfather. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, should he be punished with a hundred canes and shackles? One year?”

Censor Zhongcheng said: You should be punished with a hundred rods and wear shackles for one year. Our great Zhou Empire governs the country with filial piety. If the grandson wants to report his grandfather, where is the ethics?

Then, the censor loyal minister said to the imperial envoy: Sir, I believe that Ao Yuzhang should be punished immediately and the case will be interrogated again.

Damn it, with Yun Zhonghe's body, if he was hit with a hundred sticks, he would probably die immediately.

Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but glance at the censor Zhongcheng.

There is something wrong with this person. He is very hostile to Ao Yu.

Of course, there was great hostility. The person who was in the court some time ago was the one who attacked Nulanghou Ao Xin the most, and the one who wanted to put Ao Xin to death was the Censor Zhongcheng.

Obviously, he is the spy of a big shot in the court, and he is desperate to kill Ao Xin.

Moreover, this person was the main culprit who drove Master Yu Zheng out of Yushitai.

Mr. Yu Zheng was the censor Zhongcheng before, but he was tricked by Yu Wenzhu in front of him. He took the opportunity to drive out of the censor's station and went to Si Tianjian, a cold-blooded yamen.

After driving away Yu Zheng, Yu Wenzhu replaced him and became the new Yu Shi Zhongcheng. Although Mr. Yu Zheng and Ao Yu don't have much contact, they have obviously been friends for many years and can definitely be regarded as political allies.

Moreover, in the fictitious imperial examination fraud case, Master Yu Zheng, as the examiner, helped Yun Zhonghe tremendously.

Therefore, the censor in front of him, Yu Wenzhu, is the enemy.

The imperial envoy didn't seem to like Ao Yu either. After hearing what the censor Zhongcheng said, he ordered Ao Yu to be punished with a stick.

He'll beat him to death first and then let you get into trouble. Originally, he had to finish all his errands in Jiangzhou, but it was you Ao Yu who got in trouble.

Here comes someone... the imperial envoy said coldly.

Suddenly several warriors came forward, holding thick water and fire sticks in their hands, and several warriors were about to come up and take off Ao Yu's pants.

If he was beaten a hundred times, even if he was still alive, he would become incontinent in the future, and his function in that area would be directly destroyed.

Ancestor Ao Ting's eyes were cruel and happy. Little beast, if I ask you to report me, I will beat you half to death first.

Wait a minute! Ao Yu said: Excuse me, the Imperial Envoy, Master Yushi Zhongcheng, according to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, what should parents do if they abandon their children?

Cheng Zhongcheng, the censor, said in a cold voice: On that day, Ao Ting adopted his son to the previous generation Nulanghou. He was pitiful for his brother and allowed him to inherit the incense. How can it be called abandonment? So this does not change the fact that he is Ao Xin's father. It doesn’t change the fact that he is your grandfather.”

Yun Zhonghe smiled and said: I'm not talking about that time, I'm talking about not long ago, Ao Ting had officially issued a document to completely sever the father-son relationship with Ao Xin, and kicked my father and son out of the Ao family, completely drawing a clear line. .Then may I ask if he is still my grandfather?

As soon as these words came out, several people present were stunned and couldn't help but look at Ao Ting.

Ao Ting's eyes were full of hatred.

He indeed issued a public document expelling Ao Xin and his son from the family tree, and in the ancestral hall, he deleted the names of Ao Xin and his son in public, indicating that he had completely distanced himself from Ao Xin and his son.

Many dignitaries and officials in Jiangzhou were present to witness that day.

Yun Zhonghe said: Since the relationship has been severed, he is no longer my grandfather. Why can't I report him?

Several people present were speechless.

Then Yun Zhonghe said: This is just one of them. I want to ask the censor Zhongcheng again. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if you know that your father or grandfather is going to rebel, should you report it or not? As the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Among the people, which one should come first, loyalty to the emperor or filial piety to the grandfather?

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Of course, we must first be loyal to the emperor, and then talk about filial piety.

Loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness are arranged neatly, so there is a saying that righteousness will destroy relatives.

Master of Heaven and Earth!

In the etiquette of the Zhou Empire, loyalty to the emperor was always ranked first in filial piety.

Yun Zhonghe said in a cold voice: I know that Grandpa Ao Ting has conspired to treason and tamper with me. Of course I have to report it while the imperial minister is here. Mr. Yushi Zhongcheng, you have repeatedly obstructed me and you still want to punish me? I don't know why. What are your intentions? Are you trying to hide your guilt for Grandpa Ao Ting? Or do you think the loyal king should come last?

Censor Zhongcheng Yu Wenzhu's face turned pale and he was shaking with anger, but he couldn't talk nonsense at this time.

Because the Aoyu in front of me is so poisonous, every bite will penetrate three points to the bone. If you are not careful, it may bring disaster.

Ancestor Ao Ting was almost furious.

Ao Yu, you little bastard is so vicious. You actually said that I was treasonous and treasonous?

You not only want to kill me, but you also want to kill the whole family.

Imperial Envoy Minister, I did say something similar. Ao Ting bowed.

The imperial envoy said: If you have something similar to say, please be more specific.

Ao Ting said: I did say that although Ao Xin is the Marquis of Nu Lang, in this family I am... Your Majesty, I have the final say in everything in this family. But this was seven years ago. At that time, Tian Yan The emperor is still on the throne.

Ao Ting couldn't speak too clearly, but the meaning was very clear. I didn't mean any innuendo, nor did I mean any disrespect to His Majesty the Emperor. At that time, Emperor Tianyan had not abdicated, and there was no such thing as a Supreme Emperor. ah.

Then, the ancestor Ao Ting said in a cold voice: Ao Yu, not only did you report your grandfather, but you also said that my slip of the tongue seven years ago was a conspiracy to usurp the throne. What are your intentions? His Majesty the Emperor is the one chosen by heaven. Lord, the throne is as stable as heaven and earth, but you actually talked about usurping the throne. Are you insinuating that His Majesty the Emperor's position is unstable?

Ao Ting immediately bit back.

Yun Zhonghe sneered and said: Grandpa, do you think that I am reporting you for treason and trying to usurp the throne?

Me, I fuck your uncle.

Ao Ting was so furious that he almost forgot that he was Ao Yu's grandfather.

Your mouth is as big as the sky. With my casual words, you actually said that I was plotting to rebel and usurp the throne? It's so nonsense, so shameless.

Yun Zhonghe said in a cold voice: How many emperors do we have in the Zhou Dynasty? Of course there is only one, and that is the father of the current emperor, the former Emperor Tianyan. And Grandpa Ao Ting, you compared yourself with the emperor seven years ago , what do you want to do? Do you want to force my father Ao Xin to rebel, and then become the emperor yourself? Are you not treason and usurping the throne? It's just a pity that my father is loyal and patriotic, and is unwilling to obey Because of your disobedience, you are not loved and even expelled from the Ao family.

As soon as these words came out, Ao Ting felt dizzy and almost fainted again.

Everyone in the audience was completely stunned and couldn't help but look at the chubby Ao Yu.

Grandma, you look so honest and honest, why are you so vicious?

You...you are too good at talking nonsense.

Yun Zhonghe said in a cold voice: Master Yushi Zhongcheng, looking at your expression, do you think that what I said is wrong? Which sentence of mine is wrong? Please enlighten me.

Censor Zhongcheng was almost furious, Ao Yu, you are such an evil beast, you actually chased me and bit me?

Everyone thought Ao Yu's words were ridiculous, but they made sense.

If Ao Ting wants to be the Supreme Emperor, isn't that just forcing Ao Xin to rebel? What is it if it's not usurping the throne?

Although Great Grandpa Ao Ting expelled us from the Ao family, he is still my Great Grandpa after all. If he hadn't been crazy, disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor, disrespectful to the Supreme Emperor, and tried to usurp the throne, how could I have reported him? Yun Zhonghe said seriously: Please ask the imperial envoy for a clear explanation?

Ao Yu, you don't want to slander anyone. Ancestor Ao Ting said sternly: I just said it casually, but you actually took it seriously?

Saying it casually? Ao Yu said tremblingly: Grandpa, it is this casual saying that kills people? It is the casual words that can best reflect the truest thoughts deep in the heart. Seven years ago you said this casually Those words just represent the devilish thoughts in your heart. You subconsciously want to plot to usurp the throne, and my father was the governor of Zhengnan at the time, with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, so you had this dangerous idea.

I...I...I...fuck your ancestor.

Ao Ting is really about to bleed. Why didn't you see before that this Ao Yu is so vicious?

The key point is that what he said sounds very reasonable.

Yun Zhongcheng, as a loyal minister, there is always a string in our minds that is tense, that is, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Yun Zhonghe said righteously: As long as the mind does not slip, the mouth will not relax. The mouth will not relax. If you relax, it means that your mind has long since collapsed. Mr. Yushi Zhongcheng, I want to ask you if you can say a word casually. This word is composed of moon and pass.

What is the word formed by month and guan? Of course it’s my character.

This is the emperor's exclusive self-identification. Anyone else who speaks it will be regarded as treason and will be beheaded.

Yushi Zhongcheng said sternly: Of course not, not even in his sleep.

Yun Zhonghe said: By the way, because we are tight-minded and loyal to the emperor and patriotic, we will never say this word even if we are dead. But some people are different. In their minds and dreams, they want to seek the throne. To usurp the throne and want to live out the emperor's addiction, he can't help but say the word composed of Yue and Pass? Isn't this treason? In the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is it a serious crime for someone who claims that word to be treason?

Everyone nodded. Anyone who claims to be me, whether he says it in public or privately at home, is treason. It is clearly written in the law.

Yun Zhonghe said: Then what is the difference between calling himself Taishang Huang and calling himself Yue Heguan? I'm afraid it's even worse. He not only wants to be the emperor, but also wants to be the emperor's father. Calling himself Yue Heguan People with that name are considered guilty of rebellion? Doesn’t the person who calls himself the Supreme Emperor want to rebel and usurp the throne?

The whole place was completely silent and speechless, completely stunned by Ao Yu's theory.

Although I know you are talking nonsense, it really makes sense and is completely irrefutable.

Yun Zhonghe became more righteous and said: That's right, there is no one in the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty today that says what kind of crime should be committed by claiming to be the Supreme Emperor? But is this a flaw in the law? But we can't pretend that he doesn't exist. This is completely a heinous crime. Ah, Imperial Envoy, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. After returning to the capital, you must add this crime to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

I...I fuck your uncle too.

Before today, we had never heard of the crime of claiming to be the Supreme Emperor.

As His Majesty the Emperor's ministers, we must not let our thoughts slip. We must shout deep in our hearts and souls all the time that we are loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Only in this way will we not go astray or say the wrong thing. Yun Zhonghe said: Today, if anyone despises Ao Ting's behavior of claiming to be the Supreme Emperor, then deep down in his soul, deep in his heart, he is not loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, or even disrespectful. This is very dangerous. To be a None of the imperial ministers are loyal...

Shut up... The imperial envoy quickly stopped Yun Zhonghe.

It's almost done. Don't go on the topic any more. If I let you drag me down again, we will all be dragged into the water by you.

Ao Ting, who was next to him, was already trembling and paralyzed because he found that he could not say a word.

The more he spoke, the greater the sin seemed.

Bold Ao Ting, do you know your guilt! The imperial envoy suddenly slapped the alarm.

Ao Ting trembled all over, his mouth was full of bitterness, his knees softened, he knelt down and said hoarsely: Old man, I know my crime!

The imperial envoy said: Come here, take Aoting Suo to prison. I will report to your majesty immediately and ask your majesty to punish him!

This case was obviously trivial, but at this special moment, especially Ao Yu, it was brought to a huge level and escalated to the level of conspiracy to usurp the throne. Of course, the imperial minister did not dare to make the decision and could only report it to the emperor.

Several warriors stepped forward, took off Ao Ting's clothes, put on prison clothes, put on shackles, took him away from the Governor's Mansion, and put him in prison.

Along the way, Ao Ting was so paralyzed that he could hardly walk and had to be dragged along by several warriors.

………………………………

The whole Jiangzhou was completely shocked.

Didn't it say it was over? Fifty years after Wei Guogong was punished with a cane, the Jiangzhou turmoil ended?

Why was Ao Ting imprisoned again? And he was sent to jail by Ao Yu?

What happened? This Ao Yu is too powerful, isn't he? He has already been imprisoned, but he can still put the ancestors of the Ao family in prison?

Duke Wei, who had already felt safe, was trembling again.

Everyone in the Ao family was running around. After being warned by the imperial envoy, they quickly closed their homes and waited for retribution.

Count Ao Jing and others were almost crazy with fright, and were truly in panic all day long.

They even regretted why they got entangled with Lin Xiang and why they went against Ao Xin.

No, there's nothing wrong with going against Ao Xin, right? Why are you going against Ao Yu?

This kid is so poisonous and powerful!

The entire Ao family was in panic. Although there were three counts, no one could make the decision.

In the end, Ao Ming stood up, closed the door of his house, and thought about his mistakes behind closed doors. He did not retreat or speak, and waited for the Holy Judgment.

What is he waiting for?

Of course, we are waiting for the situation to change, a huge change.

He firmly believed that his teacher, Lin Xiang, would not just give up, let alone admit defeat. He would definitely fight back, and it would be a fatal fight.

He was waiting for the teacher to detonate a bigger bomb. Although the teacher Lin Xiang did not reveal any news to him, he firmly believed that something shocking would detonate and completely change the situation.

The entire Jiangzhou people were also waiting, and the imperial envoy had already rushed the memorial to the capital over 800 miles away.

His Majesty the Emperor's judgment will come soon, and Ao Ting's fate will soon be revealed.

And what everyone is more concerned about is the fate of the Marquis of Nulang Mansion. The Marquis Mansion is still under seal, Ao Yu is still in prison, and Mrs. Nulang Marquis and other family members are still under surveillance in the official post.

In the failed mutiny in Jinzhou, Ao Xin should have made a meritorious service. Besides, the search for Nulanghou Juefu was just a gesture. Ao Yu and Mrs. Nulanghou should be released at this time.

What is His Majesty the Emperor waiting for?

Everyone is eagerly awaiting the emperor's decree.

Moreover, this imperial edict only requires one eunuch to be sent, and then the imperial team can leave Jiangzhou and return to the capital to fully understand the turmoil here.

One day, two days, three days...

………………………………

This day happens to be the third day of October.

The weather has become very strange!

Early in the morning, the sky was clear and clear, but suddenly there were dark clouds and strong winds. The sun slanted on the dark clouds, and blood red accumulated across the sky.

It seemed to be the end of the world, which was very scary.

The imperial minister's heart was beating wildly and his eyelids were twitching for no apparent reason.

Not only the imperial envoy, but Yun Zhonghe in the cell also had his heart beating wildly and his eyelids twitching wildly.

at the same time!

The entire empire's armies began to move.

Not the army of Canglang Province, nor the army of Jiangzhou, but the army of half the empire began to receive the order.

Enter a state of full preparation for war.

Then, more than 200,000 troops received orders and headed south.

Only bring rations, and all food and grass will be provided by the states and counties on the road.

Something happened, something big must have happened.

At the same time, a group of black cavalry galloped towards Jiangzhou like a tide.

The imperial black ice cavalry were all headed by the new imperial envoy, Duke Zhou Lian, deputy envoy to the Privy Council.

Something big must have happened.

Otherwise, you only need to send an eunuch, and there is no need to send another imperial envoy.

Because there is already an imperial minister in Jiangzhou City, and he is also the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Now there is a higher-ranking Imperial Envoy. The Deputy Privy Council Envoy is equivalent to the Deputy Minister of Cabinet.

All the nobles and officials in Jiangzhou were trembling once again, as if another disaster was about to happen.

I can no longer even stay in the study, but have to hide under the quilt.

The last time, an imperial envoy from the Ministry of Punishment came, killed tens of thousands of people, dismissed more than a hundred officials, committed suicide of a duke, overthrew the duke, and imprisoned hundreds of people.

This time, an imperial envoy with the rank of Deputy Privy Councilor came. Was he planning to kill the entire Jiangzhou?

How many more people will lose their heads? How many more nobles will fall?

What the hell happened?

Open the city gate, open the city gate...

The city gate opened, and the Black Ice Platform cavalry poured in like a tide. In front of everyone, the new imperial envoy rushed on the road for days and nights, almost without sleep.

He rushed directly into the Governor's Palace.

The former Imperial Envoy Minister, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, stepped forward and bowed: I have met the Imperial Envoy Minister.

Duke Zhou Lian, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, his face was pale and his lips were black. He slightly cupped his hands and said: Hello, Ministry of Punishment, where is Ao Yu? Where are the people from Jue Mansion, Marquis of Nulang?

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment said: Ao Yu is in prison, Ao Ting is also in prison, and other people in Nulang Marquis Mansion are still under house arrest in Jiangzhou Official Posthouse and under residential surveillance.

Zhou Liandao, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, said: Go and arrest Liu, Ao Yu, Ao Ningning, and everyone in Nulang Marquis Mansion. Arrest them immediately.

The Minister of Punishment said: Secretary Envoy Zhou, what happened?

The deputy envoy of the Privy Council said: Ao Xin is plotting a rebellion! Your Majesty has decreed that I should immediately arrest everyone in the Nulang Marquis Mansion and escort them to the capital without any delay.

As soon as these words came out, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was like a lightning strike and lost all reaction!

Ao Xin rebelled? This...how is this possible?

…………………………

Note: The second update is here. Today’s update is still 15,000. The protagonist will be more advanced and show off.

I’ve cried so much about begging for monthly tickets, please have mercy on me, please give me a few tickets, please!
