The Golden County Magistrate

Gongsun Cheng raised his head and smiled slightly: "If the princess would do that, why did she go to so much trouble to let me go?"

Wei Han snorted and waved his hand: "Get up!"

Gongsun Cheng quickly stood up, brushed off the dust on his shirt, and said: "I came here boldly this time just to confirm one thing with the princess."

Wei Han's pretty face was tense: "Speak!"

Gongsun Cheng said in a deep voice: "If there is a chance to overthrow the false emperor, would the princess be willing to help us?"

Wei Han stood up suddenly, pulled out the cicada knife from his waist with a sound, and directly put it on Gongsun Cheng's neck: "How dare you say such a traitorous word in front of me!"

Gongsun Cheng stared at Wei Han's eyes without any fear: "If I guessed wrong about the princess, please kill me with a knife."

Wei Han's face was gloomy: "Do you know that I am where I am today because of the emperor? Without her, there would be no Yingwu Earl today!"

Gongsun Cheng looked calm: "I don't think that a title can make the princess disregard the principles of the country and the people of the world!"

Wei Han shouted: "Speak clearly!"

"The princess was willing to release me at the beginning, wasn't it because she couldn't stand the false emperor's perverse actions?"

"Only on the surface, she always said that she was doing it for the people and the country."

"But in fact, she has been ruling the country for five years, and the people are living in misery!"

"Only those fools will believe her lies and think that she can really become a wise ruler!"

Gongsun Cheng's words were sonorous. If you didn't know his thoughts in advance, you might really be deceived by his righteous look.

Wei Han said unhappily: "The people have been living in misery for the past five years. Isn't it because of the rebellion of the Prince of Yan?"

Gongsun Cheng said calmly: "If the false emperor had not ascended the throne as a woman, would the Prince of Yan have rebelled?"

Wei Han was speechless for a moment.

She also knew that the rebellion of the Prince of Yan was indeed based on the slogan of a female emperor ascending the throne and destroying the moral principles of heaven.

Gongsun Cheng took the opportunity to say: "If Tang Yun was really as devoted to the people of the world as she was, she should have abdicated the throne. But she didn't, which is enough to prove that she has selfish motives!"

Wei Han slowly retracted the Chanming Knife in her hand.

Gongsun Cheng was secretly happy and said, "But I know the princess is different. I have heard a lot about the princess in Yongzhou, and I know that you helped her in order to stabilize the country. Forgive me for being so bold, but you chose to help her at the beginning, which was really the wrong way! If the princess didn't know this and regretted it, how could she help me get out of it?"

Wei Han sat back in the chair dejectedly and said weakly: "What's the use of regret?"

Gongsun Cheng took a few steps forward and lowered his voice: "Regret, at least there is a way to reverse it!"

Wei Han looked at him in shock: "You mean..."

Gongsun Cheng was shocked. He said solemnly: "The emperor of the Great Zhou should be a man after all! As long as the princess is willing to help a wise and virtuous person overthrow the false emperor and ascend the throne, it will be a way to make up for the mistakes and a great contribution to the revival of the Great Zhou! In the future, not only will you be a mere earl, but you will also be able to get the title of king!"

A strange color appeared in Wei Han's eyes. He put the Chanming knife back into the sheath and whispered: "You are talking about a wise and virtuous person. Who is he?"

Gongsun Cheng took a deep breath and uttered four words: "Your Highness Prince Yi!"

After a while, Wei Han asked someone to come in and take Gongsun Cheng to rest.

As soon as the latter left, she collapsed on the chair.

Too tired...

I didn't expect that acting would be more tiring than fighting in the battlefield. Fortunately, I did not disappoint Chen Yan's high hopes and finally deceived the other party's trust.

The letter Chen Yan sent to her at the beginning, in addition to releasing the people, also required him to practice his acting skills and wait for Gongsun Cheng to take the bait.

Chen Yan was sure that Gongsun Cheng would not miss such a good opportunity.

However, Chen Yan did not know that Wei Han's true identity had an additional bonus effect. After all, he only thought that Wei Han was an important confidant of the owner of Zhou's Chamber of Commerce.

In Chen Yan's calculation, he believed that after Gongsun Cheng was released, he would investigate the origins of Zhou's Chamber of Commerce, and thus know that Zhou's Chamber of Commerce had a close relationship with the court.

Zhou's Chamber of Commerce was able to accurately know his whereabouts and then capture him in one fell swoop, which showed that he was a great threat.

Therefore, Chen Yan was sure that Gongsun Cheng would attack Zhou's Chamber of Commerce.

It was difficult to defeat Zhou's Chamber of Commerce, but if he could win over an insider, Gongsun Cheng would no longer have to worry about being caught by Zhou's Chamber of Commerce again.

He even designed a reason for Wei Han to release Gongsun Cheng, so that when the latter came to her later, he would have a sufficient explanation and would not let the other party suspect him.

However, he did not know that after Gongsun Cheng knew Wei Han's identity and investigated her character in depth, he made up a reason for her to release him.

That was for the sake of the country!

And her true identity was extremely attractive.

One of Tang Yun's most trusted people!

If she helps, it will be a hundred times easier for the people behind the scenes to start a rebellion.

Therefore, Gongsun Cheng took the risk to go to the capital to find Wei Han.

When Wei Han first heard Gongsun Cheng say that name, she was really surprised.

Prince Yi, Tang Yun's uncle, can be said to be one of the people she respects the most.

In the past, the sons of the previous emperor had a tendency to fight for the throne, which caused a lot of uproar in the capital, and even private fights. And how dare the Jingzhao Yin at that time interfere with the fights of these princes? They could only let them make trouble and implicate many people.

Prince Yi Tang Mo made an extremely important decision for this. He personally took the responsibility of Jingzhao Yin and was responsible for the security of the capital. With his own virtue and status, he suppressed the sons of the previous emperor and dared not make trouble again, restoring the peace of the capital.

However, he took this position in the name of supervision, not directly in name only.

Therefore, the post of Jingzhao Yin has become a dual post. Wang Zhiyu, an important official in the court, holds the title of Jingzhao Yin, but the real power belongs to Yi Wang Tang Mo. All major matters must be approved by the latter before they can be implemented.

More importantly, when Tang Yun ascended the throne, he also suppressed the turmoil in various parts of the capital and fully supported Tang Yun's ascension to the throne.

It can be said that Yi Wang Tang Mo is one of the greatest contributors to Tang Yun's ability to sit firmly on the throne!

Unexpectedly, he actually has a selfish motive!

He supports Tang Yun because it would be difficult for him to overthrow any son of the previous emperor if he ascended the throne. Only when she ascended the throne could he win the hearts of the people and overthrow her from the throne in the name of disrupting the way of heaven and destroying ethics.

If Wei Han had not promised Chen Yan that she would never tell anyone, including Tang Yun, after finding out the news, she would have wanted to fly to the palace and tell the latter about it.

The news must be passed to Chen Yan first, and he will make the decision!

She immediately called a trusted guard and quietly told him, and the guard took the order and left.

At the same time, Jizhou.

The convoy moved slowly, because in order to avoid a major collision of the goods, the speed had to be slowed down, slower than taking the waterway.

Finally in the evening, the convoy stopped to set up camp and make a fire to cook.

Gu Wei had already prepared everything, brought the cook and the guards, built a stove on the spot, and cooked for Jin Ze and others.

Halfway through, he turned his head and looked around inadvertently, and suddenly saw a scene, and was stunned.

After taking a closer look, he was instantly dumbfounded!
