The palace is divided into two parts, the front court and the back court.
The front court was where the emperor and various ministries worked, and the back court was where the emperor lived.
The Ministry of War is in front of the palace, and the six central and central ministries and important government offices are in front.
In the back office of the Ministry of War, Wang Wei is reading the battle report from the front line.
Long Chen and the Empress reported frequent successes, and Nanliang was retreating steadily. Wang Wei was secretly happy.
He was Li Chengdao's spy and he was from Nanliang himself, but his parents both starved to death. He grew up in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and prospered in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He had more affection for the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The last time Long Chen discovered his identity, Wang Wei actually became a spy for the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the information he sent to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was all Long Chen's intention.
Therefore, Wang Wei hoped that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty would win. Once the Southern Liang was pacified, he would be able to be the Minister of the Ministry of War without fear of revenge from the Southern Liang.
"Sir, the princess has sent an order for you to come to Fengming Palace to discuss matters."
The waiter Fang Yu hurriedly walked in. Wang Wei immediately got up and went to the front office to see Emperor Xingwan's maid.
"Wang Shangshu, the princess has an order, please come to the palace to discuss matters."
The palace maid is very polite, she is the person close to the princess, but she is not of high rank.
Wang Wei immediately said: "Okay, let's leave now."
Wang Wei followed the palace maid into the Fengming Palace in a hurry, and when he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan were reviewing the memorial.
"The humble minister Wang Wei, pays his respects to the eldest princess and the second princess."
Di Yu gestured slightly to sit down and talk, Wang Wei thanked him, and the palace maid brought a chair and sat down.
Di Yu said slightly: "I just received the order from my mother to have Wang Shangshu go to Linhu City."
Wang Wei said in surprise: "You want me to go to Linhu City?"
Since the war started, Li Chengdao has sent orders several times, asking Wang Wei to find a way to get to the front line of the battlefield.
In this way, Wang Wei can deliver the news, and Li Chengdao can control Long Chen's movements.
But Wang Wei couldn't find a suitable opportunity and it never took shape.
Unexpectedly, the empress would take the initiative to let him go to the front line, and Wang Wei felt very surprised.
Emperor Xingwan said: "We know that Wang Shangshu will find it strange why you are allowed to go at this time. This is the Queen Mother's will. The Queen Mother must have her own plans."
Wang Wei immediately stood up and worshiped: "The Holy One has decreed that ministers should not be picky. I will set off immediately."
Di Yu said slightly: "The Queen Mother's decree only allows you to go alone. The affairs of the Ministry of War are temporarily left to the assistant minister Fang Yu."
Wang Wei guessed that this was a deliberate arrangement by the empress. Fang Yu was also a spy in Nanliang. The Ministry of War was given to Fang Yu, which showed that the Ministry of War in the capital was not important.
"Wei Chen accepts the decree."
Di Yu said slightly: "Nothing else. When we arrive at Linhu City, please pay our respects to the Queen Mother on our behalf."
Wang Wei bowed and said: "Wei Chen remembers it, Wei Chen will leave."
Wang Wei exited Fengming Palace and hurried back to the Ministry of War. His assistant Fang Yu asked: "Princess, do you have something important to say?"
Wang Wei looked sad and said: "The Holy One has decreed that I should go to Linhu City immediately to obey orders. The military department will be left to your disposal for the time being."
The minister, Fang Yu, was taken aback and said in surprise: "Why do you ask your Excellency to go to Linhu City? Isn't there King Wu and the Holy Supreme Commander there?"
When it comes to uniting troops to fight, Wang Wei is definitely not as powerful as Long Chen.
As for ordnance logistics, the Empress can also handle it.
Wang Wei is of no use to the front line. I wonder why the empress summoned him to the front line?
Wang Wei shook his head and said: "Who knows the Holy Spirit's will? You will only know after you go there."
"While I'm away, you will be in charge of the military department. If you encounter important matters, report them to the princess. Never make any arbitrary decisions."
Above the officialdom, subordinates should report more often to their leaders.
You should report what you have done well. This is credit and it will leave a good impression on the leader.
If you are unsure, you should report it and let the leader decide. If something goes wrong, you don’t have to take responsibility yourself.
Fang Yu, the minister, was secretly happy that Wang Wei was gone and he could live his life as a minister of the Ministry of War.
However, Fang Yu's mission was to keep an eye on Wang Wei. Now that Wang Wei has left and he doesn't follow him, Li Chengdao must have some objections.
"I'm afraid no one will stop me if I go to Linhu City alone. I'm willing to go with you."
The minister, Fang Yu, wanted to follow. Wang Wei understood Fang Yu's thoughts, but he didn't say anything.
"The Holy Father's will is for me to go alone. The affairs of the Ministry of War still need to be done. If you leave, who can temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War?"
"You shouldn't go. The affairs of the Ministry of War must be taken care of. I have a problem with King Wu. If you don't do it well, you will definitely be made things difficult."
On the surface, Wang Wei is at odds with Long Chen, but in reality he takes orders from Long Chen.
These words are all lies to Fang Yu, he doesn't know all this.
Fang Yu felt it was a pity, but she didn't say anything more. If she said too much, it would be easy to find something wrong.
"So... Sir, please be careful. The battle situation on the front line is stalemate, and the ghost body's cultivation is unpredictable. You must pay attention to safety."
The minister Fang Yu reminded him hypocritically. Wang Wei nodded and said, "I'll go home and pack up before leaving."
After speaking, Wang Wei went out, and the groom drove the carriage out of the military headquarters.
After walking around the street several times, Wang Wei stopped in front of a house.
After knocking on the door and going in, Mrs. Qin Zhen came out with a smile and took Wang Wei's arm into the house.
"Master Wang has not been here for some time."
Mrs. Qinzhen closed the door and window, and Wang Wei said, "I came here a few days ago, why haven't I been here for a long time?"
"I just received the order from the Empress, asking me to immediately leave for Linhu City to obey the order. You will report the matter."
Madam Qinzhen said in surprise: "Aren't you not allowed to go? Why did you suddenly let you go again?"
Li Chengdao asked Lady Qinzhen whether Wang Wei was unable to go to the front line or did he deliberately not go?
Lady Qinzhen replied that Wang Wei had been thinking of a way, but the empress's decree had never arrived, so Wang Wei could not leave.
Unexpectedly, the empress actually ordered Wang Wei to go.
Wang Wei shook his head and said: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. I don't know why the empress suddenly asked me to go. I won't know until I arrive."
Madam Qinzhen frowned and said, "I'll tell you immediately. You arrived at Linhu City alone. If no one is there to contact you, you will be very passive."
All spies have one-way contact. The contact between Wang Wei and Li Chengdao is through Mrs. Qin Zhen. Bayi Chinese website
When they arrived at Linhu City, Wang Wei had no informants and could not contact Li Chengdao.
Wang Wei said: "That's why I'm here. You should report immediately and prepare a contact person for me in Linhu City."
"I have to go. If I stay too long, I might get suspicious."
After saying that, Wang Wei went out, got on the carriage, and immediately went home to pack his things.
Lady Qinzhen reported the matter immediately.
When Wang Wei returned home, his concubine Fengzhu helped Wang Wei get out of the car and asked in a sweet voice: "Why did the master come home so early today?"
Wang Wei ignored it and ordered the housekeeper to pack his things after getting off the car.
"Master, are you going out?"
Fengzhu immediately asked, and Wang Wei said: "The Holy One ordered me to go to Linhu City immediately. I will leave today."
Fengzhu was also surprised and asked: "Why do you let me go now? Isn't the fight almost done?"
Wang Wei would talk to Fengzhu about the war on the front line, so Fengzhu knew something about it.
Wang Wei said impatiently: "How do I know that this is the will of the Holy One?"
After packing his things, Wang Wei immediately headed to Linhu City.
...
Linhu.
A ship docked in the south, and Long Chen came out of the ship holding Xiaoqin.
Standing on the shore, Long Chen put down his violin and said, "Aren't you going to stay with me for a few more days?"
