Chapter 308: The Truth

In the imperial study, the king who entered the palace with a sword at his waist stood with his hands in his hands, and his momentum was about to press the opposite Son of Heaven.

Pan Ziqian on the side didn't know why, so he had to wait and see what happened.

The three of them were silent for a long time, and Emperor Shun was the first to speak:

"Wang Quanquan, if I can't give you a perfect answer, do you really want to kill me?"

Wang Quanquan looked at the other party quietly and did not answer.

The man on the other side looked at each other angrily, sighed after a long time, and said:

"Zhou Xuantong disbanded the entire secret guard before leaving, and the number of spies in my hands is limited, and I can only find out that the other party is the number one killer in Donghan, named Yanli, and called Sitong.

About a year ago, he made a big fuss in the Northern Turk Palace, trying to assassinate the little prince Battle, and finally failed to escape back to Donghan, I don't know why he wants to attack you again this time. ”

Wang Quanquan was silent for a moment, and said coldly:

"Why should I believe you?"

The anger on Emperor Shun's face deepened, "You can not believe me, or you can kill me with a sword now." ”

After that, he directly put one hand in both hands and put on a posture of waiting for death.

Pan Ziqian on the side was dumbfounded, and he said "If you are lucky, you can release your father today", which is what he meant.

After waiting for a long time and not seeing that the other party had the intention of making a move, Emperor Shun put down his hands again and looked at Pan Ziqian:

"King Panjun, your father is in the prison now, you go and see him for the last time."

Pan Ziqian's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he still saluted and thanked him and left the room.

All of a sudden, there were two brothers in the room who were like enemies, and Wang Quanquan frowned and said:

"Why did you attack a declining vassal king?"

Emperor Shun said with a flat face:

"I'm not going to report to you yet."

"Heh, you're finally a bit of a ninety-five."

Wang Quanquan said, took out an object from his arms, and slapped it on the dragon case, "The secret guard will give you and release Pan Yuanzheng, count it as a face for me." ”

Emperor Shun laughed angrily, "King's authority, have you ever given me face?" It is true that I arrested you in the first place, but it was Wen Fuding who insisted on killing you, and I never owed you anything. ”

"Didn't you send someone to kill me three times or twice? First there is the head monk, and then there is Ye Jian, so one is not owed! Wang Quanquan sneered.

Emperor Shun tried to suppress his anger and said:

"Ye Jian is indeed sent by me to kill you, but Monk Laitou has nothing to do with me, he is my father."

"Father?" The figure of the Holy Emperor immediately appeared in the king's mind.

No...... Right?

At this time, a gentle figure walked out from behind the screen, Nie Yingxue wore a white long dress, looked at Wang Quanquan, and said softly:

"Even I almost died that day on that rocky mountain, and I asked the ball afterwards...... Your Majesty, it is true that he did not do this, believe it or not. ”

Wang Quanquan frowned slightly, the tiger poison does not eat children, does the father want to play with his son to death?

Thinking of this kingship, he hesitated...... It doesn't seem like I haven't played it before.

While he was thinking, Emperor Shun said something that shocked him even more: "I rebelled, and I also got the tacit approval of my father." ”

……

Ten years ago, in the imperial study, Emperor Sheng'en's hair had not yet turned white, and Wang Shande was not even a prince.

Father and son sit cross-legged on a futon, with a chess table in the middle.

It was the cold of winter, and the stove in the house was burning vigorously, and the Holy Emperor lifted the steaming kettle on the stove and poured a full cup for each of them.

"De'er, how do you think this move should be made?" Emperor Saint Grace smiled and spoke softly.

Wang Zhide had always been in awe of his father, more than fear, and after a moment of thought, he replied:

"Back to the father, white chess is already a dead piece, and the death of white chess is precisely because there are too many dead pieces, so that many important positions are occupied by useless sons, if you want to win, unless you remove these white pieces, you will not be able to return to the sky."

Emperor Saint Grace nodded, looked out the window at the snow, and said slowly:

"Today's court, just like this chessboard, too many useless sons are standing, but it makes the whole game lifeless, if you want to revitalize, you have to make a drastic rectification.

A few days ago, Quan Er mentioned to me that the entire court was rotten to the roots, and I suddenly realized that I had patronized the chess game all these years, and I didn't notice that the chess pieces were so dirty that I couldn't tell the difference between black and white.

Quan Er has the ability, but he is too playful, looking at him like that, eighty percent will not be willing to succeed to the throne.

It was the same when I was young, as soon as Xian'er was born, I went south and north, didn't care about the affairs of the capital, and let a woman bear all this alone, she should hate me.

I am ashamed of them, so even if Quan Er does not become the emperor, I will pass the throne to the boss. ”

When Emperor Sheng'en said this, he turned his head to look at the second prince opposite, "De'er, will you blame me for being biased?" ”

Wang Zhide lowered his head and said in a respectful tone:

"All the choices of my father are for the future of the dynasty, and De'er has no complaints."

Emperor Saint En smiled, "You are just too serious, and you are less approachable than the boss, but it's okay, in this way, you don't need to leave any mercy when you clean up those dirty chess pieces." ”

Wang Zhide was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head, his face full of shock.

Emperor Sheng'en didn't look at this son, turned his head and continued to look out the window, and said lightly:

"It's just that, don't do it while the boss is alive."

Outside the window, Wang Quanquan was holding a snowball, chasing Xiaochunzi around, and after catching the other party, he directly stuffed the snowball into his neck collar without hesitation.

When Emperor Saint En saw this scene, he couldn't cry or laugh.

……

Wang Quanquan's trip to the palace has just solved a doubt, but there are more doubts.

Why did my father pit himself to death? Why did he let the second child rebel? If he had promised to be the emperor, would he have been rebelled by the second child?

These things have given him enough headaches, but before leaving, Emperor Shun added another sentence:

"It's not that I'm going to kill Pan Yuanzheng, it's that he is looking for his own death."

"What are these old guys of the previous generation thinking about all day long, can't you stop and retire?"

Wang Quanquan scolded and walked towards the criminal department.

……

After the king left, Emperor Shun picked up the Moyu token and roster on the table, and with these credentials, he could reorganize the secret guard.

Opening the roster, Wang Zhide looked up and down, and found that four of them had their names altered.

Wang Quanquan was ready to hand over the secret guards before leaving, but he also hid some selfish intentions, and selected a few of them to modify his understanding, as for the rest of the secret guards who collected intelligence in various places all the year round, he had never seen it, so naturally he would not care.

Zirat Qingxing died in Longqi Bay, the name was naturally erased, and Zhou Xuantong was loyal to the emperor who was rightfully named, so it was also crossed out, in addition to Mao Rabbit Xishun, when Emperor Xian'en was alive, he promised to return his free body, and now he has been replaced by Wang San.

As for the last one, it is the only snake in the secret guard that two people share a code name, Huang Ying Yumu has already married, although the life is dull but very stable, the king does not want them to repeat their mistakes, so they simply blacked their names directly.

Looking at this list of cutting corners, Emperor Shun only had a wry smile, the purpose of the secret guard is to collect intelligence, the level of martial arts is indeed not that important, and now the Donghan and Northern Sudden movements are continuous, even if there are only a few people left on this list, he can only accept the order.

Wang Quanquan left the palace and came all the way to the gate of the Criminal Department, and before he could get in, he met the sluggish Pan Ziqian.

"What's going on?"

Until now, the royal authority is still skeptical of Emperor Shun's "seeking death".

Pan Ziqian raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, and said:

"My father said that he owed a debt to a man and would have to pay it sooner or later, and he didn't want to come out."

"Oh, the co-author is going to prison to hide debts." The brain circuit of the king's authority is also strange.

Pan Ziqian smiled bitterly, didn't explain, and continued:

"But my dad told me one thing, which may have something to do with Miss Qingxing's death."

"Tell me about it." Wang Quanquan's face became serious again.

"Let's find a place to talk."

Pan Ziqian looked up at the sky, it was close to evening at this time, and the two directly found a small restaurant to sit down.

Pan Ziqian had no appetite and didn't order anything, on the other hand, Wang Quanquan was like a starving ghost, ordering almost all the special meals in the store.

……

"Brother Wang, do you know the first auxiliary minister of Donghan?" Taking advantage of the gap between serving, Pan Ziqian asked.

"Of course I do."

Wang Quanquan leaned his whole body on the backrest, and said slowly:

It is said that he was originally from the Central Plains, and assisted Chu Buxiu, the king of Donghan, all the way to the throne, and was later given the official position of prime minister only in the Central Plains. Most of the border trade between the dynasty and Donghan is now from this person, and it seems that the change in the Donghan court a while ago is also related to him. ”

Pan Ziqian nodded and continued to ask:

"Then Brother Wang has ever heard of Luan Wei?"

"Luan Wei?"

Wang Quanquan looked puzzled, "The dynasty has a secret guard, and the Northern Turks have made a green guard in imitation of the dynasty, where did this Luan guard come from, could it be from the hand of the first auxiliary minister of Donghan?" ”

Pan Ziqian shook his head, no longer sold Guanzi, and said bluntly:

"Hidden in the city, hidden in the dynasty, whether it is the secret guard of the dynasty, or the green guard established by Yao Qingyi in the north, they all belong to the hidden in the city.

The secret guard has always been controlled by the kings of the past dynasties, and the power is great, and it can verify everyone in the dynasty except the emperor, whether the officials are loyal or treacherous, and whether the people are good or bad, all by their words, this power is even higher than that of the six departments.

Brother Wang has ever thought about how serious the consequences will be if some of them abuse their power and favor themselves according to their power? Especially after Zhou Xuantong left, there was one less person who could contain them. ”

Wang Quanquan frowned when he heard this, and Pan Ziqian's words woke him up.

Before, the secret guard was loyal, and thanks to Zhou Xuantong, a slave who had both means and was desperate for the Wang family, now that he is gone, it is indeed no longer a wise move to reorganize the secret guard.

And if one day the secret guard falls into the hands of a mediocre monarch, it will be a very handy weapon to kill, the sage once said, "The court hears the Tao, and the night can die", but in the past dynasties, "the court discusses politics and dies at night" is more common.

The two of them were talking, and the meals were all served one by one, and Wang Quanquan was now completely out of interest in eating, frowning and asking:

"Then what does this Luan Wei have to do with the Dark Guard?"

Pan Ziqian was aroused by the food, he picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, and said unhurriedly:

"In order to prevent some people in the secret guard from abusing their power for personal gain, as soon as Emperor Sheng'en ascended the throne, he ordered my father to secretly set up a Luan guard to counterbalance the secret guard.

There are a total of ten Luan Wei, most of whom are court officials, and they are named after falcons, owls, harriers and other birds, and my Pan family is one of them, codenamed crows. ”

After Pan Ziqian finished speaking, he ignored the royal authority that was still in a daze, and ate alone.

"You say so much, what does it have to do with Qingxing's death?"

After reacting for a long time, Wang Quanquan spoke again, obviously he wanted to find out the murderer more than the matter of conspiracy.

Pan Ziqian did not disappoint him, and continued:

"The matter of the Qingxing girl came from the hands of Yan Li, the first assassin of Donghan, and this Yan Li served the prime minister of Donghan.

He did this just to provoke you to discord with the Holy One, and it is best to take the opportunity to get rid of one.

No matter who died, it was a great loss to the dynasty, and it was this person who forced my father to draw the ground as a prison.

Luan Wei's matter is extremely secret, the reason why he told Brother Wang is because Luan Wei is now lacking a master, this candidate must stay out of the court, but he can turn the tide at a critical moment, and most importantly, this person must be upright enough. ”

After Pan Ziqian finished speaking in one breath, he rolled up his sleeves and looked at each other quietly.

Wang Quanquan frowned tightly, pondered for a long time, and after a while, his expression suddenly relaxed, and said:

"Okay, you Pan Ziqian, waiting for me here?"

Pan Ziqian's heart tightened when he saw this, but he still said casually:

"I don't understand what Brother Wang is saying."

Wang Quanquan did not answer immediately, but stood up, walked to the window, turned his back to the other party, and said slowly:

"Brother Pan, you didn't enter Beijing this time to visit the old man's land, if I guessed correctly, you are here to see him off, right?"

Speaking of this, Wang Quanquan paused, turned around, looked at Pan Ziqian, and said softly:

"We are brothers, you don't have to hide it from me."

Pan Ziqian finally changed color when he heard this, his expression was not as relaxed as just now, but full of sadness, he lowered his head and said in a trembling voice:

"I don't care what grievances there are between them, and I don't care about the truth of paying off debts and killing people, if he wants my father to die, I will want him to die, this is the great truth!"

King Panjun, who has always been gentle and elegant, has almost roared out in the end.

"Brother Wang, none of what I said just now is a lie, as long as Brother Wang nods, Luan Wei will be sent later."

After Pan Ziqian finished speaking, he raised his head, his eyes were red, and after putting a white token on the table, he knelt down directly.

"Alas......"

……

King Panjun left the capital, with no pomp and circumstance, only two donkeys and a wooden cart.

The donkey, who had been proud from beginning to end, lowered his head at this moment and honestly pulled the cart, and it was its old owner who was lying on the cart.

A generation of vassal kings hanged themselves in the prison, just for the word "to repay debts", although the old hatred was resolved, new hatred was added.

Wang Quanquan looked at Pan Ziqian's lonely back in the distance, and couldn't help but feel sad.

The saddest thing in the world is that the son wants to raise but does not wait for his relatives.

"What about you, when are you leaving?" Wang Quanquan looked at Koharuko beside him.

The latter looked embarrassed, scratched his head and said:

"You know everything?"

Wang Quanquan continued to look ahead, muttering:

"How long are you going to hide it from me?"

Xiao Chunzi rarely hurt the spring and autumn once, and her eyes were red and said:

"Your Highness, the little one is reluctant to give you up."

"Alas......"

Wang Quanquan sighed again, and since this day, he has sighed more times than he can count.

For this "minion" who has been with him for nearly 20 years, the king is naturally reluctant, but he has to harden his heart and say:

"Hurry back and be your prince of Donghan, without you, this king should still eat and drink."

After that, he took the lead in shedding tears.
