First Secret Agent in History

Chapter 181 The court exploded! Slap the emperor in the face!

The Yushitai in this world is slightly different from the Han and Tang Dynasties in Chinese history. As a supervisory organization, the Yushitai in this world is much larger.

The leading censor is a second-rank official, also known as the censor of the capital, and is on the same level as the six ministers.

Next are the left and right censors, Zhongcheng, who is the third rank, on the same level as the six ministers, and then the left and right censors of the capital.

These five people constitute the leadership of Yushitai.

Hu Yong is the Yushi of Zuoqiandu, and he is considered the fourth in command of the Yushitai. In terms of power, he is certainly not the top one, but in terms of rank, he is already a senior official.

Once he is sent abroad, he can at least become an inspector of a province.

So to a certain extent, this Hu Yong can definitely be regarded as an official winner, and he is only forty-two years old this year.

Moreover, his official resume is quite rich. He was awarded Jinshi at the age of twenty-five and ranked sixth in the second class, which is a very high ranking. Although he did not enter the Hanlin Academy, he entered the cabinet and became a secretary, helping the prime ministers draft official documents.

After staying in the cabinet for three years, he was transferred to other places and became the county magistrate of Yu'an. This was also a highly qualified sixth-grade county magistrate, who happened to be in Jiangzhou.

After serving as a county magistrate for five years, he was transferred to the capital again and entered the Ministry of Personnel as a Yuanwailang, and was later promoted to a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel.

Two years ago, there was a big change in the Yushitai. Lord Yu Zheng was kicked out of the Yushitai, Yu Wenzhu came to the throne, and a group of officials who followed Lord Yuzheng were also unlucky, leaving many positions vacant in the Yushitai.

So Lord Hu Yong immediately took his place and became the fourth in command of Yushitai.

Therefore, his official career has been smooth sailing. If this continues, the possibility of entering the cabinet is unlikely, but there is a possibility of being in charge of the six ministries. The probability of taking charge of a province and becoming a feudal official is very high.

However, just such a person who is so successful in his official career has another identity.

Big Win Empire Black Dragon Platform Undercover!

His undercover was very complicated. He was born in the Southern Zhou Empire, but his father was an undercover agent in the Black Dragon Platform of the Great Victory Empire, and so was his mother.

His father, Hu Xing, had been an undercover agent in the Southern Zhou Empire for forty years. During his most glorious period, he was a member of the Ministry of War, but until his death, his father's undercover agent had never been used.

After Hu Yong turned thirteen, his identity was revealed to him by his father, and he was constantly instilled in him the belief that he would be loyal to the Great Victory Empire.

When he was seventeen years old, he went on a study tour and was secretly picked up by the Great Ying Empire's Black Dragon Terrace. He lived in the Great Ying Emperor's capital for nearly a year, received various trainings, and was personally received by the Great Ying Emperor.

After returning to the Southern Zhou Empire, he took the imperial examination and failed for the first time.

But after the second provincial examination, everything went smoothly, and he directly placed sixth in the second class of the high school examination.

Under the operation of Heilongtai of the Great Victory Empire, he was sent to Jiangzhou as the county magistrate. At that time, the governor of Canglang Province happened to be Lin Gong.

During his tenure as Yu'an County Magistrate, Hu Yong made outstanding political achievements and soon came into Lin Gong's field of vision, so he embarked on the fast track of officialdom.

He can't be counted as Lin Xiang's direct team member, but he can definitely be counted as the second-line main force.

What a great future!

However, now he has a piece of paper in his hand, with a secret text on it, which he has just deciphered.

The day finally came and he was activated.

Hu Yong originally thought that he would be like his father, never being activated or receiving tasks throughout his life.

When his father Hu Xing was still alive, he would teach him every day and brainwash him to make him loyal to the Great Victory Empire.

But his father Hu Xing has passed away for five years. For five years, no one has reminded him that you are a subject of the Daying Empire.

In addition, Hu Yong had been so proud in official circles that he almost forgot that he was an undercover agent of the Daying Empire.

He was even a little intoxicated with his position.

However, at this time, someone from the Black Dragon Platform of the Great Victory Empire came to contact him, officially activated him, and gave him a task.

A nearly suicidal mission.

Just looking at this mission, Hu Yong felt as if his scalp was going to explode and his whole body was horrified.

Lords of the Black Dragon Platform of the Great Victory Empire, do you overestimate the courage of me, Hu Yong?

Although I am a censor, I am not Yu Zheng. I am not the kind of person who would rather break my body to pieces than speak out. I am a very sensible censor.

What is a very sensible censor? That is, they appear to be tough on the surface, dare to say anything, dare to criticize anything, and talk about injustices in the world. But in fact, any criticism will not touch a certain bottom line, and it is the kind that makes big noise but little rain.

It's a bit like a complaint conference. On the surface, the complaints are very venomous, but in fact they are not painful or itchy, and they do not touch the root cause.

Hu Yong doesn't even know what the purpose of this mission is? Because he is just an executor, only responsible for detonating.

"Husband, what's wrong?" His wife's voice came from outside.

Hu Yong quickly put away the note and said, "It's nothing."

"It's time to have breakfast," the wife said.

Hu Yong nodded and walked out.

The virtuous wife had already prepared a meal, which was very rich. Although he stayed in Qingshui Yamen, he was a celebrity in the officialdom after all and was not very short of money.

His wife is a few years younger than him. Although she is in her thirties, her charm is still there and she comes from a scholarly family.

Both sons are not at home, one is in the army and the other is studying outside.

What a happy family, what a happy life? But once he went to carry out this task, everything immediately fell into pieces.

After breakfast, he washed up again, and his wife gently helped him put on his official uniform.

Seeing his wife's still graceful figure, Hu Yong couldn't help but put his arms around her waist and lifted up her skirt.

His wife was startled, her face turned red, and she said tremblingly: "Husband, what are you doing? What are you doing? It's almost dawn, and you still have to go to court."

Hu Yong said in a trembling voice: "I can't bear it any longer. It's right here, right here."

"You're so shy. You're such a ridiculous scholar." The wife was ashamed and happy, and covered her face.

………………………………

After entering the palace, familiar officials saluted one after another.

Of course, the situation has been too tense recently, so the officials who came to court were not as relaxed as before.

"Hey, Mr. Hu, what's going on today? He's a little red in the face." Seeing Hu Yong's blushing face, a doctor from the official department couldn't help but joked aloud.

"This is a steal. It's definitely a steal." Another official next to him said: "It must be a maid at home, and the location is not normal. I know this kind of thing best."

Hu Yong did not deny it. He was very popular in the court no matter how much people teased him.

Next, officials gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the upcoming situation.

"What are we talking about in today's meeting?"

"What else could it be? Of course he is the candidate for the Governor of Zhengnan."

"This matter has been decided, it is Yongcheng Hou Fu Yantu." An official came to Hu Yong's side and said: "Master Hu, you have also received the news."

Of course Hu Yong received it, as did the officials of the entire Lin Xiang faction. They elected Fu Yantu, the governor of Zhenxi, as the governor of the southern expedition, and commanded the army to go south to put down the rebellion.

After all, this matter has been publicized for more than ten or twenty days, and there is a huge force trying to push Fu Yantu to the top.

This is no ordinary promotion. This is to replace the former Ao Xin and become the number one person in the army, controlling an army of hundreds of thousands.

Hu Yong and many officials have received orders. At today's court meeting, please first inform His Majesty the Emperor that General Fu Yantu has worked hard in guarding the western border and has made great achievements. Please be enthroned as a general of the auxiliary country.

The general of the auxiliary country is already the second peak of a military general, and the next higher is the general of the hussar.

This time Fu Yantu was promoted to the rank of General of the Auxiliary State. After he returned from suppressing the rebellion, he was promoted to General of Hussars, and either became a Taiwei or entered the Privy Council.

After Ao Xin became the General of the Hussars, he was still alone, so this General of the Hussars could not exert much power.

But once Fu Yantu becomes the General of the Hussars, it will be completely different, because he has an alliance with Lin Xiang, and his sister is also the imperial concubine, so he will definitely have power.

"The Marquis of Yongcheng was suppressed by Ao Xin for more than ten years, and now he finally comes forward."

"Isn't that right? Not only did he stand out, he also wanted to take revenge."

"In the Southern Barbarian Territory, after the victory of Marquis Yongcheng, he massacred the city and was whipped dozens of times by Ao Xin in public. This has always been regarded as a great shame and humiliation. Now he wants to kill Ao Xin's whole family with his own hands. This is truly a gentleman's revenge. It is not too late in ten years."

Many officials praised Fu Yantu and belittled Ao Xin.

Ao Xin didn't know how to behave. After returning to Beijing, he would not have much power as a hussar general, so of course he wouldn't be able to offend anyone. But when he was the Grand Governor of the Southern Conquest and the Grand Protector of the Five Elements Province in the Southern Border, he was really powerful.

How many people went to apply for jobs at that time, and how many people went to seek cooperation with Ao Xin?

As a result, Ao Xin was selfless and refused them all, and even filed a complaint in front of Emperor Tian Yan.

When the Southern Territory was being built, every day was filled with gold and silver. There were huge interests involved, and you could make a fortune just by making a small fortune.

That is to say, this Ao Xin stayed there like a door god, not allowing anyone to get rich, and even personally beheaded dozens of corrupt officials.

Another example is smuggling.

The Shi family is sensible and knows how to help the court ministers to make a fortune together.

But when Ao Xin was the Southern Territory Protector, she kept a close eye on the Shi family's fleet. Once smuggling was discovered, she would immediately dispatch the Southern Territory fleet to inspect it.

Blocking people's way of making money is like killing your parents. How many people's way of making money has this Ao Xin blocked?

How many people want to kill him?

Now that he was unlucky, of course everyone wouldn't mind stepping on him and spitting on Ao Xin's body.

You are so ignorant. When you are in sole control, it’s okay if you don’t love money. Why don’t you allow others to love money?

Listening to the discussions of many officials, Lord Hu Yong smiled on his face, but he felt more and more congested in his heart.

In the past thirty years, Ao Xin must have been the greatest contributor to the entire Zhou Empire.

He conquered the southern barbarian territory, and of course he made an unparalleled contribution. But in Hu Yong's view, Ao Xin's greatest contribution was to build and govern the southern border.

When he served as the Grand Protector of the Five Elements Province in the Southern Territory, it was his fairness, impartiality, and selflessness that made the empire's gold, silver, and materials play the greatest role, promoted the prosperity of the Southern Territory, and enabled the empire to conquer the Southern Territory in the shortest time. More than 20 million native people.

It was the native garrison he established that restored order to more than one million square kilometers of land in the south.

Ao Xin served as the Great Protector for more than ten years and cultivated an astronomical amount of fertile land in the southern border. Less than twenty years after the empire conquered the southern border, instead of needing to transport food to the southern border, the southern border became the empire's granary.

Why was Emperor Wan Yun able to launch the Borderlands War a few years after he ascended the throne?

Isn’t it because the southern border is stable and does not require subsidies, but can instead feed back the imperial treasury?

With such unparalleled achievements, he became a prisoner of his subordinates and became a public enemy of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.

Isn't this a great sadness?

That Fu Yantu was of course a good fighter. When he was the governor of Zhenxi these years, he also blocked the Xiliang Kingdom from the border. He even took the initiative to attack several times and killed countless Daliang Kingdom cavalry pretending to be Robbers and horse bandits.

But this person is violent and bloodthirsty, greedy and cruel, and obsessed with power. How can he compare to Ao Xin's public heart?

Now, he actually wants to replace Ao Xin and become the leader of the empire's generals? And he also wanted to kill Ao Xin’s whole family with his own hands?

What an injustice!

"Pa bang bang..."

There was a sound of whips hitting the ground outside. It was almost time. This was to remind many ministers to be quiet. His Majesty the Emperor was coming soon and the court meeting was about to begin.

At that moment, an official passed through the crowd and whispered: "Everyone is sensible, everyone is sensible."

The words he spoke were like coaxing a child, but his tone was very stern, which was a hidden warning.

Everyone's voices must be consistent and show the unity of the entire court. Everyone worked together to push Fu Yantu up.

And pushing Fu Yantu to the top means pushing Ao Xin's family to the guillotine.

In fact, there are two voices inside now.

One is the Iron-Blooded Faction, who firmly believe that they must send a large army south to kill and completely suppress the native rebellion.

The other one is the pacifier faction. They have similar opinions to Ao Yu, and they both feel that people should be sent to pacify the natives and quell the rebellion.

It's just that under the dominance of the emperor's will, the dominance of civilian forces, and the dominance of the establishment, the voice of this pacifier is very weak.

Not only that, these appeasement factions were also regarded as weak, and were even directly called capitulation factions, or were regarded as Ao Xin's comrades.

After the sound of whips hitting the ground, many officials lined up and stood up.

Immediately afterwards, six people entered the court.

These six people are the six super bosses in the court, the three prime ministers of the cabinet, and the three giants of the Privy Council.

It is said that the Cabinet and the Privy Council are of equal rank, but the three giants of the Privy Council instinctively lag behind.

Prime Minister Lin Gong finally appeared in the court again. He had previously resigned on his own initiative, but Emperor Wan Yun held him down for several days without any response. However, after the rebellion in the south, the emperor rejected Lin Gong's resignation several times.

So today, he appeared in the court again.

Six giants entered the court, with very different personalities.

Prime Minister Lin was serious and had almost no reaction to the flattering voices of the ministers. At most, he nodded slightly, which was not completely inhumane.

The Prime Minister, on the other hand, is kind, smiles all over his face, and occasionally makes eye contact with you, which warms your whole body.

The second phase has a mask-like face with no expression at all, and it is full of signs that strangers should not be approached and acquaintances should not be approached.

"Quiet!" the great eunuch Hou Zheng shouted.

Then, he shouted again: "The Emperor has arrived!"

Emperor Wan Yun appeared, slowly walked onto the dragon throne and sat down.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

All civil and military officials knelt down neatly and bowed three times and bowed nine times.

"Everyone is at peace." The emperor raised his hand, and all the civil and military officials stood up.

The great eunuch Hou Zhengdao said: "If you have the original memorial, you will retreat from the court without it!"

Hu Yong trembled slightly in his heart. According to the plan, he should immediately go out and start his detonation mission.

He should have been the first to ask, but he hesitated for a moment.

He really can't take this step. He has a great life and a great future. Once you take this step, you will be shattered into pieces.

Who in this world is not afraid of death? Hu Yong is no exception.

As soon as he hesitated, someone immediately came out. It was his immediate superior, Yushi Zhongcheng Yu Wenzhu.

"I have my foundation!"

Emperor Wan Yun nodded perfunctorily, regardless of whether his ministers saw it or not, he just went his own way.

Yu Wenzhu said: "Fu Yantu, Marquis of Yongcheng, has worked hard and made great achievements during his more than ten years as the governor of Zhenxi. I recommend Fu Yantu to be the general of the auxiliary country."

Emperor Wan Yun said calmly: "Where is Fu Yantu? Is he here?"

Although Fu Yantu held a high and powerful position, he was still the commander-in-chief of the border areas, so even if he returned to Beijing, he would usually not attend court meetings.

"Summon Fu Yantu."

"Summon Fu Yantu."

The sound was heard one after another, and then Fu Yantu entered the palace.

Isn't this just dragging your pants and farting? But this is a procedural issue. How does Fu Yantu know that someone wants to recommend me as the general of the auxiliary country? If I had appeared in the court beforehand, wouldn't it mean that I already knew all this and was waiting to be canonized?

The play still needs to be performed, and the sense of ritual is still needed, otherwise the food will not look good.

"Your Majesty, Fu Yantu, pays homage to our emperor. Long live, long live, long live!"

Fu Yantu, the Marquis of Yongcheng, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.

This person also has a good face, even more domineering than Ao Xin. At least in appearance, he looks more like a military god.

It's just that his nose is too long and hooked, which makes the whole face look a bit scary. A narrow nose also indicates a sinister mind.

Emperor Wan Yun said: "Fu Yantu, some people say that your hard work has made you great, and they want to recommend you as the general of the auxiliary country. What do you think?"

Fu Yantu said: "Everything I did was my duty, and I dare not claim credit for it! But Ao was so heartbroken that he launched a rebellion among the foreign natives and instigated the turmoil in the southern border. I had no choice but to leave the bitter cold land of the western border and go to the capital to share your majesty's worries. If someone wants to recommend me to be the general of the auxiliary country, I would never dare to accept it, but it is my duty to be loyal to the country."

Fu Yantu just finished speaking.

Many ministers present came out one after another.

"I agree with the imperial censor Zhongcheng's memorial. Marquis Yongcheng has worked hard and made great achievements, so he deserves to be promoted."

"I second the proposal."

"I also recommend Master Fu Yantu to be the general of the auxiliary country."

As if there was an invisible hand, countless officials came out one after another to approve Fu Yantu's promotion to the general of the auxiliary country.

Ao Xin is praised by thousands of people, and Master Fu Yantu is completely praised by thousands of people.

Only a few people still stood there, not agreeing, but not opposing either.

This is the result that has been decided long ago, and most court meetings are like this.

Lord Hu Yong also came out to express his approval. It's just that he doesn't have many lines, just one sentence of second opinion, because someone has already recommended it on behalf of Yushitai, so there are much fewer lines left for Yushitai.

The emperor nodded and said: "Since all the ministers have recommended it, I will agree to it and draw up a decree: canonize Fu Yantu as the general of the auxiliary country."

Fu Yantu immediately kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, crying hoarsely: "I thank the Lord for your kindness."

Then, some eunuchs came across new official robes, new belts, and new official hats.

After Fu Yantu put it on, he suddenly felt completely new.

Now that the hussar general Ao Xin has stepped down, this position is vacant, and Fu Yantu, the general of the auxiliary country, has become the number one military general.

Emperor Wan Yun said: "Fu Yantu, I hope you will not live up to my trust in you, nor to live up to the civil and military expectations of the entire dynasty."

Fu Yantu bowed down again and kowtowed: "As Your Majesty, I will go through fire and water, and my body will be shattered to pieces without any hesitation."

At this point, the first agenda item of today’s meeting is over.

Fu Yantu finally replaced Ao Xin and became the number one general in the military.

Next, according to the plan, it is time to enter the second agenda, which will be recommended by the Minister of War. Fu Yantu, the general of the auxiliary country, will be the governor of the southern expedition and lead the army into the southern barbarian territory to quell the rebellion.

And once the second agenda starts.

Then it's a done deal and cannot be changed.

First of all, Fu Yantu will control hundreds of thousands of troops. Secondly, the empire's strategy for the rebellion in the southern border will be completely finalized, and it will be resolutely suppressed and never appeased.

And in that case, it would be equivalent to a death sentence for Ao Xin's family.

Even more than that, after Fu Yantu quells the rebellion in the southern border, he will become the chief protector of the five southern provinces, which is the position that Ao Xin once held.

This is the first border official in the world, a top official in the true sense.

Fu Yantu is a member of the Iron-Blooded Sect. Once he becomes the Great Protector of the Southern Territory, the policy of the entire Southern Territory will completely change. He will definitely kill the entire Southern Territory into a river of blood, and eventually kill tens of millions of natives, once and for all.

Lord Hu Yong, the imperial envoy of Zuo Qiandu, has always been puzzled. Letting Fu Yantu lead the army to suppress the rebellion in the southern border, and letting the Southern Zhou Dynasty fall into the quagmire of war is obviously beneficial to the victory of the empire? Why did His Majesty the Emperor Da Ying want to stop all this?

However, now Hu Yong vaguely understands.

Perhaps what the Emperor of the Great Victory Empire wanted in the future was a complete Southern Zhou Empire, including the southern territory.

Moreover, the Southern Territory he hopes to obtain is a Southern Territory with tens of millions of people, not an uninhabited land that has been completely wiped out.

Tens of millions of people are precious, and these are the tens of millions of people that can be assimilated.

Of course, Lord Hu Yong still didn't fully understand Emperor Da Ying's thoughts. Emperor Da Ying thought even more profoundly.

Putting aside all these thoughts, Lord Hu Yong knew that if he didn't stop it, it would be too late.

Once the Minister of War is asked to recommend Fu Yantu as the governor of the southern expedition, everything will become a foregone conclusion.

It has become a foregone conclusion that the empire will send troops to massacre the southern border and kill Ao Xin's whole family.

He must go out.

Even if you take this step, your body will be shattered into pieces.

I, Hu Yong, am not a person who regards death as home. I, Hu Yong, am not a strong-willed person.

I don't know why I want to take this step.

But there seemed to be a force in his head, rushing to the top of his head, causing his blood to heat up, and he stepped out directly.

"I, Hu Yong, have the foundation!" Master Hu Yong shouted loudly.

Everyone was stunned.

The Minister of War was also shocked, what is going on? According to the plan, wasn't it because I recommended Fu Yantu as the governor of the southern expedition and led the army south to put down the rebellion?

Why did Hu Yong jump out? Young man, are you stealing the show or the credit?

If you want to stand out, recommend Fu Yantu? Is your level a little lower? Qualifications are also lacking.

Prime Minister Lin Gong's eyelids twitched and he felt uneasy in his heart.

Because things have gone a little off the rails, a little out of control.

This Hu Yong has been very obedient before, why did he jump out? This person can no longer be used!

But this is a great court meeting, and anyone who is willing and has the right to perform can't stop others from doing so.

The emperor frowned slightly, expressing his displeasure.

"explain!"

In everyone's opinion, Hu Yong was speculating and wanted to be the first to recommend Fu Yantu as the Governor of the Southern Conquest as a favor.

Because this person has always been very well-behaved, he is the most sensible censor, and he has a good relationship with everyone.

But if you come forward to recommend Fu Yantu now, you don't know how high the sky is. Is this favor something you can bear?

Hu Yong said loudly: "Your Majesty, after you came to the throne, you couldn't wait to launch the Northern Expedition, which led to the defeat. Now there is another rebellion in the south, and the good situation of our Zhou Dynasty has suddenly turned for the worse. When Emperor Tianyan was in power, The country is peaceful and the people are prosperous, but only a few years after you ascended the throne, the power of our country is in danger, shouldn't you reflect on it?"

"I sincerely request your majesty to issue an imperial edict for the sake of my great Zhou Dynasty, and return the power to the Supreme Emperor!"

The whole place suddenly fell into deathly silence!

In an instant, it really seemed as if a nuclear bomb had hit the court.

In an instant, everyone's thinking, the so-called spiritual defense, was blown to pieces.

Almost everyone was completely unable to move, and their nerves seemed to be frozen.

Lord Hu Yong continued to shout: "I sincerely request your Majesty to return the power to the Supreme Emperor."

"I sincerely request your Majesty to return the power to the Supreme Emperor."

"I beg your Majesty, don't go further wrong!"

"Your Majesty, please take charge of the government again!"

After half a minute, someone finally woke up first, and it was Yongcheng Hou Fu Yantu.

"You are so bold and bold that you dare to rebel?"

He suddenly jumped into the air, rushed towards Hu Yong, and slapped him down with one palm.

In an instant, Master Hu Yong was slapped to the ground, blood spurting out.

Fu Yantu suddenly stepped on Master Hu Yong's neck and said sternly: "Tell me, who is the mastermind behind you? Who is it? Who asked you to rebel? If you don't do it, you will be executed in Lingchi!"

Hu Yong said: "I am not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of death?! Your Majesty, after I say these words today, I have no intention of living anymore. So what if I am broken into pieces? I will leave my loyalty to history!"

Lord Hu Yong, who was lying on the ground, was spitting out blood while shouting: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Great Zhou Empire and for the sake of our hundreds of millions of Chinese people, please return the power to the Supreme Emperor and make amends before it's too late!"

"Your Majesty, please return the power to the Supreme Emperor!"

Master Hu Yong finally knocked his head down and bit hard, breaking the poison hidden between his teeth.

Moments later, he fell to the ground bleeding from all seven holes, motionless!

At the same time, Fu Yantu stepped down suddenly, directly breaking more than a dozen of Master Hu Yong's bones.

A large mouthful of blood spurted out directly.
