There is an alley in the south of Jiangdu City, called Xinghua Alley, because there is a hundred-year-old apricot tree planted at the mouth of the alley, the alley is not deep, only three families lived, all of them are high doors and deep courtyards, covering an area of more than five or six acres, it can be seen that they are all large households.

One of the innermost houses was originally the private residence of Liu Bingyuan, the magistrate of Jiangdu County, and later Liu Bingyuan fled back to his hometown in Wu County with his family, and Li Mi rewarded this house to Bing Yuanzhen, the inner historian.

If you talk about the qualifications of the ministers of Wei, Bing Yuanzhen can be called the patriarch of the elders, when he and Zhai Rang fled into Heze together to establish Wagangzhai, and even Shan Xiongxin's qualifications are shallower than him.

In the confrontation between Li Mi and Zhai Rang, he belonged to the centrists, and later changed to support Li Mi, and was always reused by Li Mi, becoming the first strategist Wenchen under Li Mi.

But when the moon was full, it was a loss, and in Li Mi's major decision to abandon the Central Plains, he advocated uniting the Tang Dynasty to resist the Sui, but Li Mi finally adopted Fang Xuanzao's strategic strategy of retreating east to the south of the Yangtze River.

It was also in this battle of routes that Li Mi discovered that he had accepted bribes from the Tang Dynasty. Eventually, it triggered a status crisis for Bing Yuanzhen, and although Li Mi did not kill him for accepting bribes from the Tang Dynasty, he obviously did not reuse him.

After moving to Jiangdu, he was named the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, with no power or soldiers in his hands, unable to participate in the decision-making of military aircraft, and doing some trivial things all day long. It made Bing Yuanzhen extremely depressed.

It was precisely because of his bad mood that Bing Yuanzhen excused himself from an old illness and took sick leave twice in three days. Ignoring government affairs, Li Mi doesn't care about him, whether he comes to the court or not.

Today, Li Mi went to Jiangyang County to inspect the warehouse. Bing Yuanzhen said as usual that he was sick and hid at home, and he was fine at home, nothing more than reading books and drinking some wine, he usually didn't have any elegance, but he had one of his biggest hobbies, that is, hiding in the secret room and counting his gold and silver treasures.

Bing Yuanzhen's greed for money was well-known in the former Wagang army, and he has really saved a lot of money for himself over the years.

He knew that he could not keep his land and that he could not get copper coins, so he exchanged all the money he had received over the years for gold and jewelry. There are five big boxes in total, where others go, where the boxes go?

At this time, Bing Yuanzhen hid in the inner room of the study, squinting and counting his gold. There were four chests of gold, more than eight thousand taels, and one box of jewels, which was all his wealth, and he had to count them every day before he could sleep peacefully.

The room was dimly lit and there were no windows. The door was locked, and the ground was filled with nearly two hundred loaves of gold, each weighing fifty taels, and Bing Yuanzhen sat cross-legged on the couch, gently stroking a yellow and clear ingot of gold, and this heavy sense of reality gave him great psychological satisfaction.

"Sir!"

At this time, his wife's call came from the outhouse, although his wife could enter his study, but her appearance at this time still made Bing Yuanzhen extremely unhappy, his face sank, and he asked in a fierce tone, "What's the matter?" ”

"There's a tea man coming."

This is a code word for him and his wife, the tea person is the gift giver, that is, someone is giving gifts, this news makes Bing Yuanzhen's face a little cloudy, too late to pack up the gold, he put the gold on the ground, open the door and go out, 'squeak', the iron door of the inner room is closed, he locks the iron door with a fist-sized copper lock, and the key is carefully placed in his arms, and then he asks his wife: "Where is the person?" ”

"It's in the guest hall!"

"Hmm!" Bing Yuanzhen snorted heavily, walked quickly towards the guest hall, and when he walked at the door, he turned around and glanced at his wife again, "You go out!" I'm going to lock the study door too. ”

His wife had no choice but to go out, and Bing Yuanzhen locked the door of the study, and then went to the guest hall with confidence.

In fact, Bing Yuanzhen was not so greedy for money in the past, he also had ambitions in his chest, and he was eager to assist Lord Ming in his career, but he assisted Li Mi and never realized his ambitions. \/\/\/\/

Under Li Mi's deliberate suppression, he began to sink, unable to see his career and hope, which made the dark side of Bing Yuan's heart gradually swallow him, making him greedy, vulgar and mercenary, and the military division of the Wagang Army no longer existed, leaving only a broken shell.

This is also due to people, how many talented people gradually lose confidence after repeated setbacks, become vulgar and stupid, and their talents gradually fade and fade, Bing Yuanzhen is undoubtedly one of them.

Bing Yuanzhen hurriedly came to the guest hall, only to see a man in his thirties sitting in the guest hall, with slightly dark skin, looking jīng Ming and capable, and with a hint of politeness between his eyebrows, it was easy to make people feel good.

But Bing Yuanzhen's eyes fell on a leather bag at his feet, and the leather bag looked like it contained something heavier, what could it be? More than a dozen ingots of silver and gold jumped out of Bing Yuanzhen's mind, could it be these two kinds of treasures?

"I've kept this brother waiting." Bing Yuanzhen walked into the room and arched his hand, this person he didn't know and had never seen before.

The person who came also stood up and said with a smile: "My surname is Wang, my name is Shunyuan, a native of Wei County, Hebei, and I came to the door for the first time and disturbed Bing Shangshu." ”

"Well said!"

Bing Yuanzhen sat down on the main seat, couldn't help but glance at the leather bag, and asked with a smile, "Does Mr. Wang have any advice when he comes to the door?" ”

"I can't talk about advice, in fact, I'm here to send a letter to Bing Shangshu."

'Send the letter!' ’

Bing Yuanzhen seemed to step on the air, and a deep sense of loss surged in his heart, not to give gifts, but to deliver letters, and the disgust on his face couldn't be restrained, and he said coldly: "What kind of letter to send?" ”

The man took out a letter from his arms and pushed it to Bing Yuanzhen, "Look at it!" ”

Bing Yuanzhen picked up the letter. Stunned for a moment, the letter cover read: 'To His Royal Highness the King of Chu of the Great Sui Shangshu Ling', this seems to be his handwriting, Bing Yuanzhen quickly glanced at the man, his heart became nervous, and he hurriedly opened the letter, and he hurriedly read it. He was amazed, 'Ah! He screamed, his eyes widening.

This turned out to be a letter of surrender written by him Bing Yuanzhen to Yang Yuanqing, with humble words. is willing to sacrifice the heads of Jiang Du and Li Mi, and his name and seal are signed behind it, regardless of the handwriting and seal, it is completely his handwriting. There is no doubt about it, but the question is when did he write such a letter?

"You're being framed!"

Bing Yuanzhen's muscles jumped violently, his eyes were so angry that he spewed fire, and he tore the letter to shreds violently, "Go!" He pointed to the door and shouted, "Get out of here!" ”

The man was not in a hurry, took out a letter from his arms, put it on the table, and said with a slight smile: "I don't know how Li Mi will feel when he sees this letter?" ”

Bing Yuanzhen snatched the letter and looked at it, his legs suddenly weakened, and he sat heavily on the couch. It turned out to be exactly the same as the letter just now, and after a while, he gasped and asked, "What are you...... Who is it? ”

"Bing Shangshu, you are a Shangshu of one dynasty, and until now, you can't even think of my identity?" The man said coldly.

Bing Yuanzhen stared at him. Gritted his teeth for a while, "You are a spy of the Sui Dynasty!" ”

"Of course I am, I belong to the Sui Dynasty's Internal Guard, but I am a civilian officer."

With that, he took out another letter and placed it in front of him. "This is another letter, a letter from His Royal Highness the King of Chu to you."

Bing Yuanzhen glanced at the letter and snorted in his nose, "It's a fake letter again!" ”

"Whether it's true or not, it's up to Bing Shangshu to judge it himself!"

The man picked up the leather bag and got up and said, "One night is enough for Bing Shangshu to think about, I'll come back tomorrow and say goodbye." ”

He walked quickly towards the gate, Bing Yuanzhen looked at his distant back, and suddenly felt a kind of tiredness that he had never felt before......

In the secret room, Bing Yuanzhen sat cross-legged on the couch, staring blankly at the gold ingots all over the ground, and there were two letters beside him, one was a fake letter from him to surrender to Yang Yuanqing, and the other was a letter from Yang Yuanqing to him.

Bing Yuanzhen sighed, he knew that this was true faith, no one in the world dared to privately engrave the seal of the King of Chu, let alone the Sui army.

Yang Yuanqing promised to give him an amnesty, which also included the crime he designed to deal with Zhang Xutuo, including the crime of assisting Li Mi, of course, he knew better what price he needed to pay in order to get such an amnesty.

He thought of Li Mi's unkindness to himself, and Bing Yuanzhen always thought that Li Mi suppressed him for a deep reason, because he represented the interests of the old Wagang Army, and the suppression of him was to completely remove the influence of Wagang.

What's more important is that he has seen the general trend of the world, Li Mi is even difficult to deal with the Du Xiao coalition army, not to mention the powerful Sui army, the powerful iron cavalry of the Sui army will sweep the south of the Yangtze River, and it is only a matter of time before Li Mi perishes.

In this case, why did he accompany this unrighteous person to the funeral, since Yang Yuanqing had already given him an amnesty order, why didn't he seize this opportunity?

Bing Yuanzhen slowly reached out and picked up a cake of gold, holding it tightly, even for the sake of this gold, he had to seize this opportunity......

The man who sent the letter to Bing Yuanzhen was called Wang Shunyuan, a six-grade civilian officer in the Internal Guard Army, and was ordered to come to Jiangdu to establish an intelligence hall two years ago, he opened an inn as a cover, the inn is called 'Shunlai Inn', which is also located in the south of the city, not far from Bing Yuanzhen's mansion, standing on the second floor of the inn, you can also see the old apricot tree at the mouth of the alley,

Wang Shunyuan has returned, he stood in front of the window and looked at the apricot tree in the distance, he had an unbearable excitement in his heart, for two years, he silently collected all kinds of information about Jiangnan, and sent it to Taiyuan after compiling it into a book every three months.

Calmly spent two years, barely receiving any orders, year after year, he almost felt forgotten.

But at this moment, an important order suddenly came from the internal guard army, which was personally issued by the general Wei Ben, as well as a letter from the king of Chu, and he suddenly realized that the Sui army was about to attack Jiangnan, which made him extremely excited.

He wasn't worried about Bing Yuan's real problems at all, he knew the situation of Wei well, an important minister abandoned by Li Mi, he was absolutely unwilling to die out, he would definitely seize this opportunity...... (To be continued.) If you like this work,. )
