Han Shizu

Chapter 1345 The matter leaked

Although it is freezing cold, there is absolutely no shortage of warm rooms in the Youzhou Palace to produce fragrance.There is an incense burner in the hall, the fire is steaming in the burner, and the smoke is curling up. The little eunuch who finished adding the spices stepped back carefully, leaving behind a servant who maintained a humble attitude.

Sitting in the seat was Zhang Dejun, the envoy of the imperial city, one of the two chief eunuchs of the Han Palace, standing at the pinnacle of power in the eunuch profession.For the servants below, this is a big figure who can directly affect their wealth, future and even life and death, and Zhang Dejun is even more awe-inspiring because he controls the secret spy agency of the Imperial City Division.

The eunuch standing respectfully under him was named Chen Yanshou, who was originally one of the powerful eunuchs in Nanyue Kingdom. In his early years, he was in contact with the imperial court because he was envoy to the Han Dynasty. He was bought by Zhang Dejun and became a spy of the great Han in Nanyue Kingdom.

Before Han Shi Pingnan, he provided a large amount of internal news and information in Nanyue, making Nanyue transparent to the Han for a long time.Qianyou 15 years, Wang Shi went south, Pan Mei led the attack on Lingnan, Chen Yanshou also operated secretly and actively cooperated, even when the Han army entered Panyu, he made a lot of contributions.

After Nanyue surrendered, Chen Yanshou was also sent to Tokyo together with Liu Yu, the lord of Nanyue. Of course, he went north as a hero of the Han Dynasty.As for the hero, Emperor Liu would naturally not treat him badly, even if he was just an eunuch and a traitor from Nanyue.

At first, he was left in the Han Palace as Ye Tingjian, and later Zhang Dejun asked him to go there as the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department.Probably because of his experience in Nanyue, Chen Yanshou had accumulated rich experience in spying and collecting news, and he was like a duck to water in the Imperial City Department. He did a good job and successfully attracted the hatred of a large number of courtiers.

"Who leaked the news?" At this moment, Zhang Dejun looked at Chen Yanshou with a gloomy expression, and asked.

"Yesterday, after Concubine Xian asked Empress An, she called Privy Councilor Cao to interrogate her." Chen Yanshou replied.

"Where did the Concubine Xian get the news?" Zhang Dejun asked, frowning tightly.

"Duke Dai used to visit Concubine Xian!" Chen Yanshou said.

Hearing what he said, Zhang Dejun sighed regretfully, and stopped asking Zhe Dejian how he knew the bad news of the Mobei Expeditionary Army. The blockade of news is always time-sensitive, and in the process of news transmission, it is inevitable. Give way.

In the palace, most people are sensitive, and the energy of the royal relatives is also huge. It is also very difficult to completely hide it from the queen. In fact, it is not easy to hide it for so long.

As for Zhang Dejun, he also gave up the idea of ​​using this as a target to attack, if it is an ordinary person, it will be fine, Dai Guogong Zhe Dejian is the head of the country, the father of the concubine Xian.The situation of the Han army in Mobei is also related to the safety of the two princes. Even the empress went overboard and asked Cao Bin directly about the military situation.

It is conceivable that this matter has changed to the emperor's housework, which is not something their servants can rashly intervene. Therefore, even though he has figured out the reason for the leak, Zhang Dejun is not excited at all.

"Sishi, this kind of thing can only be kept secret for a while. The Zhe family has a huge influence in northern Xinjiang. It is not surprising to get some news. The Duke Dai first arrived in Youzhou, and the fourth prince was his grandson. In front of the concubine Xian Leaking the truth is also unexpected and uncontrollable!" Chen Yanshou said: "It's just that the officials have issued strict orders before, and if they leak this time, I'm afraid Long Yan will be furious!"

"How can you not be angry!" After Chen Yanshou said that, Zhang Dejun immediately said: "The official family ordered to keep silent for the sake of avoiding the worries of the empress and concubine Xian. Imagine how outraged it would be!"

As he said that, Zhang Dejun couldn't help feeling a headache. As Emperor Liu's loyal domestic slave, Emperor Liu's mood was their barometer.Moreover, the furious Emperor Liu was not friendly to anyone.

"The situation of the expeditionary army, how is the investigation going?" Zhang Dejun asked after thinking for a while.

Although Emperor Liu did not give Zhang Dejun an order on this matter because the influence of the Imperial City Division was limited to the capital, Zhang Dejun was very conscious and wanted to share the emperor's worries, mobilize resources, arrange manpower, and secretly track and investigate the matter.

However, apparently no results were obtained.Chen Yanshou also showed a little helpless expression, and replied: "Five teams went north, and only one came back. No useful news was found. The others are probably lost in Mobei. These are all subordinates. The capable officials."

"If we can find out the whereabouts of King Wei and Duke Zhao, no matter how many people are lost, it will be worth it!" Hearing what he said, Zhang Dejun said with a cold face, "Continue to send people! If our people are not familiar with them, we will find someone who is familiar with them!" Guide, Xi people, Saibei people and even Khitan people, find these people who can be used by me!"

"Yes!" Speaking of this, Chen Yanshou had no choice but to obey.

"Is there any gain from Wu Desi?" Zhang Dejun's tone unconsciously carried some strange emotions.

Chen Yanshou: "According to the investigation, Wu Desi also sent a large number of spies to the north. They have more people than us, and they have been operating in the northern part of the country for a long time. However, it seems that there is no result. Neither the envoy nor Wu Desi has any news. , it is difficult for us too!"

"I don't want to listen to this. Why don't you think this way? If we take the lead in investigating the situation, what benefits will it have?" Zhang Dejun said.

"The little guy must urge his subordinates to send more people!" Chen Yanshou assured him even though he still found it difficult.

As he spoke, he took a step forward and lowered his voice. Chen Yanshou showed a sinister look on his face, and said, "Minister, if the news leaked this time, can we find a way to push it to Wu Desi? Some time ago, the officials repeatedly expressed Out of dissatisfaction with Wu Desi, if such problems arise again, then Wu Desi's side"

As he spoke, Chen Yanshou laughed sinisterly.Hearing this, Zhang Dejun was moved, but after a little consideration, he still refused with difficulty, shaking his head and said: "Forget it! These methods are not very useful, you can find out clearly, Wu Desi may not understand , if we do something secretly and expose it, we will cause trouble for ourselves
Furthermore, the consequences of conspiring in the family affairs of the official family are too terrible!In this matter, you have to hold back, don't ask for no merit, but ask for no fault, otherwise, you will only give others a handle! "

Seeing Zhang Dejun's firm attitude, Chen Yanshou did not insist, he just made a casual suggestion. After all, Emperor Liu is not Liu Yan, so it is not easy to be fooled. Some of his palace fighting methods in the Nanyue Palace are not dared in the Han Palace. Use it indiscriminately, otherwise it will be the way to death.

"When will the official's house arrive in Youzhou?" Zhang Dejun asked.

"According to previous reports, Luanjia will arrive on the fifth day of November!" Chen Yanshou said.

"Send someone to report the situation in Youzhou to the officials exactly!" Zhang Dejun ordered without much hesitation.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Dejun couldn't help shaking his head slowly, and said with emotion: "When the official's family comes back, I'm afraid there will be a storm! This time, the empress was so anxious that she fell ill. The official's family is on the queen's side, I'm afraid it's not easy. It's over"

Having served Emperor Liu personally for more than ten years, Zhang Dejun knew Emperor Liu very well, and also knew the relationship between him and the empress.Although they only cared about the emperor, they couldn't help but care about the empress.

For the sake of the two princes, Cao Bin has been summoned to question the situation and brazenly intervene in politics. This is the first time in so many years. It can be seen how the queen is feeling this time.
