What Madam Qinzhen said is true, and it doesn't sound like some nonsense test.
Wang Wei put down his wine glass and said, "I have to go back and verify. If Long Chengen is not in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, we have a chance."
The combat power of Great Zhou comes from Long Chen. Once Long Chen leaves Eastern Zhou and goes to the snow-covered Holy Snow Peak, he will definitely not be able to come back for a while.
It is even said that if you have a narrow chance of death during the trip to Holy Snow Peak, you may die on Holy Snow Peak.
In this way, Nanliang's opportunity comes.
"How can Master Shangshu verify this?"
Qin Zhen asked with a smile.
Wang Wei said: "Simple, just say that there is intelligence that Daliang is going to attack, and I will discuss it with King Wu."
"If he is here, he must come out to see me!"
Qinzhen nodded and said: "Yes, King Wu is from the Dazhu Kingdom and is in charge of the military affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty. When Daliang invaded, the Minister of War came to him to discuss matters. There is no way he would refuse to see him."
"Then I am here to wait for the news, sir. I must send this news back to Jinling today."
This is putting pressure on Wang Wei.
Wang Wei immediately got up and left Yunying Pavilion, and took a carriage straight into Fengming Palace.
Arriving outside Fengming Palace, Yingfeng saw Wang Wei and asked, "Is there something wrong, Master Shangshu?"
Wang Wei said: "It's urgent."
Yingfeng immediately led Wang Wei into the imperial study, where the empress was reviewing the memorial.
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."
The empress put down the memorial and asked, "What's wrong with Wang Shangshu?"
Wang Wei glanced at the palace maids on the left and right, and Yingfeng immediately led them out.
"Say it."
The empress sat up straight and looked to see what Wang Wei was going to say.
"Did King Wu leave the capital and go to Holy Snow Peak with Liu Hanyan of Liuyezhuang?"
Wang Wei asked bluntly.
The empress said in surprise: "How do you know?"
Even Di Luoxi didn't know about this, so how could Wang Wei know about it?
Wang Wei said: "Wei Chen didn't even know that it was Qin Zhen from Yunying Pavilion. She was Li Chengdao's special line. She found out."
The empress frowned and said, "She is a dedicated line and only contacts you?"
Wang Wei nodded and said: "Yes, I will only contact Wei Chen alone."
The empress frowned and thought, Qin Zhen only contacted Wang Wei. If Qin Zhen was killed, Wang Wei would be exposed.
The reason is very simple. Qin Zhen only contacted Wang Wei. If Qin Zhen was discovered, it could only be because something went wrong with Wang Wei.
"She said she would send the news back to Jinling today."
Wang Wei was very anxious. The empress was anxious and got up and walked around the room.
Long Chen was too careless in his work this time, and Qin Zhen discovered it.
If Qin Zhen sends this news back to Jinling City, Li Chengdao only needs to tell Sheng Xuefeng and reveal Long Chen's identity, and Long Chen may die without a burial place.
What to do, what to do?
The empress was so anxious that she was running around in circles.
"What's your plan?"
The empress asked Wang Wei, who scratched his head and said, "Let King Wu come out to discuss matters in public, but King Wu is not here."
The empress thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It doesn't work. This plan doesn't work. Who can pretend to be King Wu? This is trying to cover up the truth."
Wang Wei then said: "There is another way, to chase King Wu back, and then I will tell Qin Zhen that King Wu is in the capital."
"Then King Wu appeared in the capital again. As a result, Qin Zhen's news will be inaccurate. Li Chengdao believes me or not."
The empress was overjoyed and said: "What a great plan. Let's split up and take action immediately."
Wang Wei immediately left the palace, and the empress called Yingfeng over and said: "Catch Long Chen back immediately, tell him that his whereabouts have been exposed, and come back to perform a show before leaving!"
Yingfeng immediately chased the person, while Wang Wei took a carriage back to Yunying Pavilion in Rouge Lane.
Entering the Nuan Pavilion, Qin Zhen was pouring herself a drink, feeling very contented.
"Master Shangshu, how is the matter? Is King Wu in the capital?"
Wang Wei glanced at Qin Zhen and said, "Long Chengen is clearly in Prince Wu's Mansion, how could he go to Holy Snow Peak?"
Qin Zhen's face changed slightly and she asked in a cold voice: "Has Master Shangshu asked clearly?"
Wang Wei was very sure and said: "There is absolutely no mistake. The empress ordered me to discuss matters with Long Chengen at the Ministry of War immediately. How could I be wrong?"
Qin Zhen looked at Wang Wei suspiciously, nodded slowly and said: "Oh, that's it, then it's time for Master Shangshu to go back."
When Wang Wei stood up to leave, Qin Zhen suddenly asked: "When will Lord Shangshu discuss matters with King Wu?"
Wang Wei said: "Immediately, I must go back now."
Qinzhen nodded and said: "Then I will send Lord Shangshu out."
After sending Wang Wei to the carriage, Qin Zhen immediately wrote a letter back to Jinling. She was eager to take credit and sent it without waiting for the results to come out.
Wang Wei's carriage returned to the Ministry of War and immediately asked people to find Fang Yu.
"Sir, what's the matter? Are you so anxious?"
It was already dark outside, and Fang Yu was flirting with his concubine at home when he was called over by a military officer to discuss matters.
Wang Wei sighed: "There are signs of invasion in Nanliang. The empress ordered me to discuss matters with King Wu."
Fang Yu was surprised and said: "Why is such an important matter not discussed by the court?"
This is a major military matter and should be discussed in public.
Wang Wei frowned and said: "Military affairs are confidential, how can we discuss them in the court?"
"The more people there are, the less important things are, and the more important things are, the fewer people know about them."
In officialdom, the bigger the meeting, the smaller the matter. The more important the matter, the fewer people will attend the meeting.
Those conferences attended by thousands of people are basically useless. They just make some grand remarks or announce some things that have been discussed.
When something really important happens, the most powerful people discuss it behind closed doors and finally decide it, without outsiders knowing about it.
For example, when it comes to personnel appointments and removals, and who will serve as which official, a few people meet behind closed doors and then decide.
Fang Yu immediately bowed and said, "I will remember this. Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for your teachings."
Gradually, everyone from the Ministry of War arrived, Wang Wei sat in the second chair, and the first chair was waiting for Long Chen.
After waiting for a long time, Long Chen never came.
"grown ups"
Fang Yu and other officials were a little impatient while waiting. Wang Wei glared at them, and everyone had to wait patiently.
After a while, Long Chen came in wearing a mink fur suit and warm shoes. He smelled of a strong feminine scent.
Long Chen sat on the chair at the head, and the officials from the Ministry of War immediately stood up and worshiped: "I have met King Wu!"
Long Chen said impatiently: "Tell me, what the hell is going on."
The officials of the Ministry of War did not dare to speak and all looked at Wang Wei.
Wang Wei had a bad look on his face, but he tried to calm down and said: "There is information that Nanliang may attack. The Holy Lord ordered his subordinates to discuss countermeasures with King Wu."
Long Chen glanced at Wang Wei and sneered: "Nanliang attacks? Li Chengdao dares to attack? Are you right?"
Wang Wei said awkwardly: "The information is like this. I am just reporting it based on the facts."
Long Chen asked: "Who will lead the troops? How many troops will be sent? Where to attack? When to attack?"
Wang Wei couldn't answer and replied: "Still investigating."
Long Chen slapped the table and cursed: "Wang Wei, do you think this king is easy to tease! You don't know anything, so you just talk about the Nanliang attack. How did you become the Minister of War!"
"It's unreasonable to pull me out of bed just for this trivial matter!"
Long Chen cursed and left the military department. Wang Wei, Fang Yu and others were so scolded that they were dizzy.
After a long time, Fang Yucai said: "Master Shangshu, what about us?"
Wang Wei's face turned ugly and he said angrily: "If you don't go and find out clearly, you will delay King Wu's play with women. You want to die!"
Fang Yu and other officials from the Ministry of War knew that Wang Wei was taking out his anger on them, so they did not dare to talk back and retreated one after another.
After they left, Wang Wei knew that the play was not over yet.
After getting on the carriage, Wang Wei arrived at Yunying Pavilion overnight.
After entering the Nuan Pavilion and sitting down, Qin Zhen came in quickly and asked with a smile: "Is King Wu here?"
