At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 453 Hidden Man Gao Qian
"Who?"

Xiao Han's tone remained calm.

"Formerly Guarding Dragon Villa, three adopted sons under Zhu Wusi's command."

"Gui Hai Yi Dao, Duan Tian Ya, and Shangguan Haitang."

"Who is the other one?"

"The old monster inside the six gates."

The man in black robe answered.

"Zhu Wusi's adopted son, a master of the Six Gates."

"It's getting more interesting."

Xiao Han stroked his chin, not showing much surprise.

The Six Gates were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War in the Central Plains, which was equivalent to the Jinyiwei in Xiliang, and were responsible for managing many matters in the martial arts world.

However, the Six Gates’ jurisdiction covers not only the martial arts world, but also the responsibility of arresting criminals.

"Your Majesty, although Zhu Wusi has been dead for several years, the Hulong Villa still exists."

"He is still secretly recruiting martial arts masters."

"The promotion of the Central Plains martial arts alliance this time was driven by the Dragon Guard Villa and the Six Gates."

The black-robed man replied in a muffled voice.

"Although I am not afraid, it is still annoying to see these little flies flying around and doing little tricks."

He stood up, made two cups of hot tea and placed them on the table. "It's freezing cold, and you've come all the way here. Have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The man sat down and took off the black robe on his head, revealing his face.

It was Gao Qian, the eunuch who held the seal of the Imperial Household Department in the capital and was in charge of the East and West Factories.

Gao Qian was the deepest connection Xiao Han had buried in the imperial court, and no one else knew about it except herself.

"Your Majesty, I can help you deal with Duan Tianya, Gui Hai Yidao, and Shangguan Haitang."

Gao Qian said: "But if I take action against this old monster from the Six Gates, it will make too much noise."

"These matters are none of your business."

Xiao Han shook his head: "The Royal Guards will handle it, you just need to do your job well."

"Does His Majesty doubt you?"

"He doesn't trust anyone right now."

Gao Qian said in a deep voice: "Except for the old monster in the palace."

"But now your majesty cannot leave me."

He sneered: "The entire court may seem like a solid block, but in fact it has long been torn apart."

"The noble families in the Central Plains are still the same as before, they are fence-sitters. From what I have heard, I am afraid that many of them have secretly contacted the prince."

"Ah."

He didn't deny it.

"Jiangnan was occupied by the Dongyue army again, and they won victory after victory, defeating the imperial army."

"Gu Jiantang is also an old fox. He always claims to be sick when he is asked to lead troops into battle."

"Your Majesty curses this man behind his back every now and then."

Gao Qian paused and said, "Your Highness, I think Gu Jiantang can be won over. Although he has been deprived of the military power of the 100,000-strong army of the Liao Dynasty, he is deeply rooted in the Liao Dynasty. Moreover, in the army, the King of Wei is extremely high and no one can compare with him."

"This person seems to be keeping a low profile, but in fact he is just a fence-sitter. If the prince promises him benefits, he will definitely turn against you."

"good idea."

Xiao Han raised his eyebrows. He did not tell Gao Qian that Gu Jiantang had secretly defected to him.

"In the court, the noble families pretend to obey but secretly disobey, and the East Yue army is pressing forward step by step. When the prince enters the Central Plains, he will be able to seize the world."

"do not worry."

He said calmly: "I will not lose any of the benefits I promised you."

"When the time comes, I will help you enter the immortal realm on land, teach you the yin and yang, transform you into a god, and make up for your deficiencies."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gao Qian clasped his fists. "If you have a chance, help me find out the details of that old monster in the palace."

Xiao Han said: "That old guy is not simple, he is quite capable."

"I came to the capital this time just to see what he is like."

"This man feeds on the fate of the country. As long as the court is not destroyed, he will not die."

Gao Qian said: "But this is also his shortcoming."

"If the fortune of a country declines, its strength will drop sharply. If the country is destroyed, the path of life and death will disappear."

"The best way to deal with it is to turn the capital into an isolated city. Outside the capital, his strength will inevitably be weakened, and he will be no match for the prince."

"After Your Majesty conquers the Central Plains, the country's fortune will collapse and his strength will drop drastically. It will be much easier to deal with him then."

This idea coincided with Xiao Han's, and he nodded slightly: "I understand."

"Does your Majesty have anything else to tell you?"

Gao Qian put down his teacup and stood up: "If not, I will return to Beijing. I can't leave for too long, so as not to arouse suspicion."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Go."

He waved his hand, Gao Qian turned around, stepped into the darkness, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, like a ghost.

This is the role of the hidden piece. A hidden piece may not show up at ordinary times, but at the critical moment, it may become the winning weapon for a comeback.

of course.

He is not the only one in the world who has hidden agents. Other forces also have countless hidden agents planted in Xiliang.

It all depends on who has better and more advanced techniques.

"huhu"

The wind and snow were blowing heavily and pouring down. Looking around, the mountains, rivers, towering cities, pavilions and towers were all submerged by Feng Xu.

The carriage left the inn and departed from Yingcheng, aiming to reach the capital before dark.

On the official road, there were more and more vehicles and pedestrians coming and going, including convoys transporting grain, cloth, and fruit to the north.

There were also convoys heading south from Xiliang. If there were familiar people there, they would inevitably stop and exchange greetings.

After walking for most of the day without resting, I finally saw a corner of the capital. The majestic city stood on the land like a coiled dragon, exuding an ancient and heavy atmosphere.

"Sir, in another half an hour, we can enter the city."

Tiger Chi spoke.

"Should we go to the inn or the Xiliang Palace?"

The original Xiliang Marquis Mansion was renamed Xiliang Prince's Mansion after Xiao Han was crowned king. Although he had never lived there once, he still sent some people to look after it.

I can serve as the eyes and ears of the capital.

"Let's go to Xiliang Palace."

Xiao Han chuckled: "Let's go into the city openly and honestly. Don't hide anything. His Majesty might have known the news a long time ago."

"promise."

Tiger Chi nodded.

In front of the city gate.

There were long queues of carriages, horses, and pedestrians, like long dragons, going in and out. This was the East Gate. After entering the city, it was not far from the Xiliang Palace.

If you enter from other gates, you will have to take a detour of more than ten miles and travel at night.

The carriage bypassed the crowded crowd and headed straight for the city gate entrance.

"Whose carriage is this?"

The people nearby looked at the carriage with curiosity. Although it was spacious and finely crafted, it did not look like the carriage used by high-ranking officials.

You have to know that this is the capital city. If you throw a stone casually, it will hit either princes, nobles, dignitaries, or wealthy businessmen.

"He must be a bumpkin from outside the country who has never seen the world."

"Some people laughed in a low voice: "You are used to being arrogant and domineering, and you think this is your own little piece of land. You don't even look at where you are."

"Under the emperor's feet, how dare you cut in line without some power?"

"Let's wait and see what happens."

Some people are waiting to see what happens.
