The cold wind was howling outside, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated in the yard.
The red candles burned in the room, the lights flickered, exuding ambiguous light and an exciting fragrance. The room was very warm. The kang seemed to be too hot today. Huaiyu sat on it and wanted to have a good chat with Gao Hui'an.
As a result, her face turned red from the heat, and she took off her clothes one by one, leaving only a thin underwear in the end.
Gao Hui'an didn't know whether it was because he was hot or nervous, but his round face was as red as a peach.
"I'll go get it."
"It's so cold outside. Don't go out and catch a cold. If it's hot, just heat it up."
"I'll get Alang two pears to eat."
Gao Hui'an had been waiting for this day for a long time, but now he felt a little at a loss.
"The Chinese New Year is coming, have you contacted your sister? Can we meet up or something?"
"My sister..." Speaking of her sister in the palace, Gao Hui'an hesitated for a long time, and finally told Huaiyu about a past incident.
Gao Huian lowered his head and spoke softly.
Snow was flying outside the window, red candles were swaying in the house, a kettle of water was boiling on the small stove, and steam was rising.
"My sister's name is Huitong. In the seventh year of Daye's reign, that is, fifteen years ago, I was only five years old. The world was suffering from the campaign of conquering Liao. I, Aye, led more than a thousand people to launch an uprising in Qinghe.
As a base, he later joined Dou Jiande and called himself Donghai Gong...
"At that time, I, Aye, and Dou Jiande called themselves brothers. Dou Jiande led his troops to surrender, and Aye married my sister to Dou's brother."
She sighed, "As long as I can remember, I have never lived a peaceful life. Aye and his troops fought with the army all day long, and they often had to move to escape. My mother fell into the hands of the army during one of her transfers.
Killed.
I have been growing up with my sister. By the eleventh year of Daye, my father had already separated from Dou Jiande and called himself King Yi. Although he once killed the Tongshou of Zhuo County in the Sui Dynasty, he himself was also punished for underestimating the enemy.
He was killed by Yang Yichen, the imperial servant of the Sui Dynasty, and many of his troops defected to Dou Jiande."
"The long branch invades half the sky, the wheel-shaped sword shines brightly,
For example, if Liaodong dies, beheading will not hurt." Huaiyu thought of Chishiro Wang Bo's death song of Wuxiang Liaodong. This hero raised the first flag of the anti-Sui uprising, and he started the army earlier than Gao Shida and others.
"My brother-in-law was kind to my sister, but in the Battle of Hulao Pass in the fourth year of Wude, Dou Jiande was defeated, and my brother-in-law also died in the army. My sister, my children, and I were all made prisoners..."
"
She sighed, "Although it was Aye who persuaded Dou Jiande to betroth her to her brother-in-law back then, they got along very well with each other after ten years of marriage. Unfortunately, my sister was eventually banished to the Tang Palace and was rewarded to the then King of Qin. Later,
Became a swordsman."
Daoren was a low-level concubine in the palace established only in the Sui Dynasty. Like Chengyi, she was under the influence of the emperor.
Back then, Li Shimin was granted the title of General Tiance because of his outstanding achievements, so Li Shimin also had concubines like Chengyi and Daoren, which was a treatment that other princes did not have.
Gao Huitong was the swordsman of the Prince of Qin's palace. She was not a female guard with a sword. The sword was actually a tool for measuring medicine. Her role in the palace was actually that of Li Shimin's personal medical officer. However, she was not a doctor. She was only responsible for serving medicine.
these.
"Your sister is His Majesty's wife?"
Although the level of the swordsman is low, she is also a concubine of the emperor with a formal title. She is a wife of the emperor, which is different from ordinary female officials and palace servants.
"Um,"
Before Gao Huitong entered Li Shimin's palace, he had been married for ten years and had three sons and two daughters. After entering the palace of Prince Qin, he was favored by Li Shimin and was awarded the title of Swordsman.
In the blink of an eye, it has been five years since she entered the palace.
"What about now?"
Li Shimin ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. If Gao Huitong gained Li Shimin's trust, he should have been promoted to a higher rank.
"My sister died in the Palace of the Prince of Qin in April this year and was buried in Longshouyuan, Chang'an."
As soon as these words came out, Huaiyu was stunned. He clearly remembered that Gao Huitong said before that she had a sister in the palace, and the time didn't match up.
"Gao Huitong, the swordsman, died before the Xuanwu Gate Palace Incident, but my sister is still alive."
Huaiyu is confused.
"My sister was actually not dead. She only claimed to have died of illness at the time, but it was actually a fake death. She was taught by the King of Qin to fake her death and leave, and she was secretly operating under another identity in Pingkangfang."
Can you say this? Huaiyu was surprised.
"At that time, the situation was getting more and more urgent, and His Majesty was deeply uneasy, so he began to plan a response. He sent Qu Tutong to the Luoyang base camp, and Zhang Liang to contact the powerful rangers and even thieves in Shandong. Then he asked my sister to fake her death and change her identity to work in peace.
Kangfang, use the cover of Jiaofang brothel..."
Gao Huitong did not die, but instead engaged in underground intelligence for Li Shimin. He took advantage of the social activities of the brothel girls in Pingkangfang to spy on the news. He also secretly contacted and delivered news for Li Shimin, and even carried out assassinations.
After the fourth day of June, Gao Huitong, Zhang Liang and others formed Li Shimin's underground intelligence agency.
Codenamed Six Doors.
This Six Gates is a secret agency, specially designed to deal with the remnants of Jiancheng Yuanji's party, as well as the remaining anti-king forces since the late Sui Dynasty, as well as some local thieves and bandits, and even those wealthy families who secretly opposed the emperor.
This six-door office is just a code name, and it is nominally affiliated with the Ministry of Justice. In fact, no one knows where this yamen is located and who is there.
Everything is under the direct control of the emperor.
Although it was not established for a long time, based on the secret team of Qin Prince's Mansion, it has expanded rapidly and is very powerful.
The city of Chang'an is full of their spy spies.
"You also have six doors?"
"I'm not, but my sister is. Before I left the palace, I didn't know that my sister was still alive. I said at that time that there was another sister in the palace, and I was talking about another cousin Gao Huishun.
After I arrived at my house, my sister contacted me secretly, and I found out that she was still alive."
Things are not too complicated.
Gao Huitong, the swordsman, was Li Shimin's personal concubine. He stayed with him for five years and performed very well. He also gave birth to children and was highly appreciated by Li Shimin. Later, Li Shimin arranged for him to fake his death and leave the palace to be responsible for intelligence gathering and liaison. Even if the palace transformation was successful,
Li Shimin didn't let her go back either.
Instead, it gave her another identity, which also gave her freedom. She could live with her original three sons and two daughters again, but she still had to take on secret missions.
Gao Hui'an was chosen by Zhang Anan for Huaiyu. At that time, Gao Hui'an did not know that his sister was still alive, but Huaiyu suspected that Zhang Ananda must know Gao Huitong's secret identity. This was most likely a chess move.
Now Gao Huitong not only contacted Hui'an again, but even developed her into his informant.
But she probably didn't expect that Gao Hui'an would actually tell Huaiyu all this.
"Why are you confessing this to me?"
Gao Hui'an's face was red and she was very uneasy. She bit her lip and mustered up her courage, "I am Alang's concubine. Although I was given by the palace, when I came to the Wu family, I will be a Wu family member in life and a Wu family ghost in death. Today
Alang came to my room in the evening, and I didn't want to hide it from Alang.
I wanted to tell Alang before, but I was hesitant and couldn't find the chance.
Now that I finally said it, I feel relieved."
"If Alang hates me, I have no complaints."
Six doors.
Huaiyu had long suspected that Li Shimin must have an intelligence agency like Jinyiwei, but he didn't expect it to be called Liumen.
It is still a secretive organization.
What's more, I didn't expect that there is a female head of the six doors, who is actually the sister of my concubine.
"Alang, in addition to Zhang Liang and my sister, there is another person who is also the leader of the six gates. Alang, be careful in the future."
"who?"
"An Yuanshou, I suspect that the Irina he gave to A Lang is the spy he planted around A Lang."
Wu Huaiyu really didn't expect this.
An Yuanshou was actually Li Shimin's spy chief? He was the eldest son of An Xinggui and An Xiuren, so young and noble.
He is only sixteen, but he is also one of the leaders of the six gates?
But think about it, Gao Huitong was originally the swordsman in the palace. The thirty-year-old Gao Huitong had three sons and two daughters outside the palace, and two daughters in the palace. Wasn't he also the eldest sister of the six families?
The sweet-talking An Yuanshou, I really regard him as a friend that I can make friends with. Who knew that this guy is not an easy person.
It's sad to be deceived emotionally. This is even more sad than Wei Zhengming stabbing him with a knife and a gun.
I always thought that Gao Hui'an and Gao Rouge might be the spies planted by the palace, but who knew that Hu Ji and Irina were too.
Damn it, my little Sanhou, how can I use it like this?
These six doors are really scary.
As expected, few people who work as secret agents are likeable.
"It's getting late, let's not just chat here,"
"A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
Gao Hui'an was uneasy and surprised and happy when he saw Huaiyu's words, "Will Erlang stay tonight?"
"Does Erlang still keep slaves in the Wu family?"
"Didn't you say that you are born as a member of the Wu family and die as a ghost of the Wu family?"
Being turned over by a red wave brings spring to the whole house.
Wu Huaiyu was not disgusted with Gao Huian's confession. After all, he had been mentally prepared for this matter. Besides, even if he knew her identity, he really wanted to drive her away, could he?
If she hadn't confessed this matter and Huaiyu had found out about it himself, then he must have had a grudge in his heart. Although he would stay, he would still have a thorn in his heart and would not treat her sincerely.
But Huaiyu was quite moved by the fact that he took the initiative to confess.
Fortunately, Fan Xuanfu lives alone in a small courtyard far away from each other. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been worried about a horse-killing Fan Xuanfu coming halfway.
Afterwards, she hugged Huaiyu tightly and refused to let go, feeling that it was just a dream. When she decided to tell the secret that she had buried in her heart, she was actually prepared to be driven away or disgusted.
.
"My sister asked me to contact her every ten days and tell him about Erlang and the family. If there is any big event, send a letter directly to Tingyulou in Pingkangfang,"
"You will continue as usual,"
Wu Huaiyu smiled and said, "Our family doesn't have any ulterior secrets anyway, so what if we let them know about it."
"I can send false news."
"No, besides, you are not the only one in our family. There are probably others besides Irina. If you send false news, you will be discovered immediately."
"That girl Rouge is not an eyeliner, I'm sure." Hui'an said.
"It's okay, you can just do everything as usual, you don't need to do anything."
Huaiyu made a mental note of Tingyu Tower in Pingkangfang. He knew that there were many brothels in Pingkangfang, Chunfeng Tower and Tingyu Tower were the more famous among them. Unexpectedly, Tingyu Tower was Gao Huitong's six-door secret base.
Zhang Liang was born in poverty and worked as a farmer for a living. Later, he went to Wagang. He was appreciated by Li Mi because of his whistle-blowing. He led the troops to fight and failed, but he was very good at intelligence work. He was previously responsible for this area under Li Shimin.
of.
He is also one of the forty-eight heroes of this time, the right guard general, and the founding father of Changping County. This guy is usually very inconspicuous in the court. Recently, he was involved in an affair with a widow with a bad reputation from the Li family in Zhao County.
Together openly.
Just like Cheng Yaojin found Widow Cui of He, Zhang Liang also found the widow of Li from Zhaojun, one of the five surnames. However, of the two widows, Widow Cui from Qinghe had a good reputation, but Widow Li from Zhaojun was a very loose woman. It is said that
Widow Li got involved with Zhang Liang and wanted Zhang Liang to divorce his first wife and marry her.
Zhang Liang's first wife was a commoner woman he married when he was still farming, and she gave him children.
Of course, in addition to Zhang Liang's business with the five surnames, another thing is that he adopted many adopted sons. He did not adopt war orphans, beggars and other young children as adopted sons, but adopted many military subordinates as adopted sons, and even some of them were originally adopted sons.
They are from rangers, scoundrels, and even green forest horse bandits. There are not ten or eight, but one hundred and eighty, and they are still collecting.
Now that Huaiyu knew that he was actually the leader of the Six Doors of Li Shimin's secret spy agency, he immediately felt that Zhang Liang's outrageous behavior seemed to be normal again.
He made five surnames and adopted heroes as his adopted sons. Maybe they were all serving Li Shimin. No wonder he could become a prime minister in the future.
The intelligence chief, the emperor's confidant.
However, he decided to have less contact with Zhang Liang in the future.
Even An Yuanshou, that guy who died young, needs to be more careful in the future.
Fortunately, he didn't have any ambitions and just wanted to make a little money while being an official. Otherwise, if he had any ambitions, Li Shimin would have known about it long ago.
No wonder Li Yi's wife was said by witches and warlocks to have the image of a noble person, and Pei Ji had a destiny. Li Shimin immediately understood everything clearly.
You have to be careful with your words and actions in the future.
