After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival has not yet dispersed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Many merchants and scholars began to return to Jinling one after another, and all the shops on the street had already opened, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians, a prosperous and lively scene.

The first inn is more lively than a few days ago, and the students near Jinling City have returned to the first inn one after another, because they have not heard what happened before, they have heard the discussion of the whole city when they enter the city, and it is inevitable to ask about it.

Through the window on the second floor, hearing that someone downstairs stood up again and told the new person about the truth about Mu Niangzi's angry revelation of the poisoning of the emperor's eldest grandson, Xu Yuzhi stepped forward and closed the window, isolating the disturbances from the outside.

"Cousin, you still have a way, this trick is simply amazing. Xu Yuzhi sat opposite Han Yuntao with bright eyes, "Now the whole city is talking about Mu Niangzi, and the people's voices are boiling, Your Majesty will definitely understand that Mu Niangzi was wronged." ”

Han Yuntao's expression was a little strange, he frowned slightly, and looked at Xu Yuzhi, "Yuzhi, do you feel that something is abnormal!"

Abnormal? Xu Yuzhi scratched his head in confusion, "It's normal." ”

Han Yuntao shook his head, "Do you really think that with the ability of the two of us, we can do this now, so that the whole city is talking about Mu Niangzi's affairs? Don't you think that the current Mu Niangzi's affairs are now too widely discussed?"

Xu Yuzhi blinked in confusion, scratched his head and thought hard, and then thought about it, "Yes, cousin, I also feel a little abnormal when you say this." ”

Now Mu Niangzi's affairs are indeed discussed a little too extensively, I don't know that these scholars who always pay attention to the trend of the government are talking about it, restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, market vendors, farming farmers, and even the mothers-in-law who are idle in the streets and alleys can quietly discuss two sentences.

If he and his cousin had this ability in Jinling City, what else would they have to test.

Han Yuntao glanced at him helplessly, and the speechlessness in his eyes was very obvious.

Xu Yuzhi laughed dryly, he was not as careful as his cousin, if it wasn't for Han Yuntao's reminder, he wouldn't have noticed the abnormality at all, and thought that it was all the effect planned by him and Han Yuntao, and he was complacent.

"I don't know if this situation is a good thing or a bad thing for Mu Niangzi right now?" Han Yuntao, who was already accustomed to his cousin's rough branches, didn't put too much thought on Xu Yuzhi, and a trace of worry appeared in his mind in a blink of an eye.

In view of the cousin's eyes looking at him just now, Xu Yuzhi did not answer rashly this time, and thought hard for a moment before speaking, "Didn't my cousin say that the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, since we have aroused public anger now, Your Majesty will definitely not ignore this." ”

"But there is another sentence called over-the-top," Han Yuntao sighed, "I'm afraid that the current situation will arouse Your Majesty's suspicions." ”

At first, the words and storytellers that circulated in the famous building were indeed made by him, and the purpose was to provoke public discussion, Han Yuntao's starting point was indeed to use the voice of the people to convey some information to the emperor, so that he could have scruples about Mu Niangzi's affairs.

Han Yuntao is very aware of his ability, although the Han family is a very powerful family in his Bashu area, but in this Jinling City, the ability he can exert is indeed limited, and the only way he can think of is to guide public opinion, hoping that with the help of public opinion, he can give His Majesty some pressure.

They knew only a limited number of people in Jinling City, and it was difficult to come forward to say a lot of remarks, so they could only use the storyteller's mouth to quietly provoke discussions.

He originally thought that it was to provoke the discussion of literati and scholars in teahouses, taverns, inns and other places with a large flow of people, since ancient times, literati are arrogant, and they are naturally less afraid of royal authority, and the literati's mouth is the most powerful, killing people without blood, if the scholars in Jinling City are talking about Mu Niangzi's affairs, when the crowd is angry, Emperor Jiayou will naturally reconsider Mu Niangzi's case.

But now the situation where the streets and alleys are talking about it makes Han Yuntao worried.

This matter will definitely not be so simple, in addition to them to guide public opinion, there must be other people who are secretly doing this.

Han Yuntao knew that his starting point was to help Mu Niangzi, but what about the other people, what was his purpose?

Provoking such a big public voice to boil is not a good thing for Mu Niangzi.

Han Yuntao's gaze involuntarily fell on the flickering candle flame on the table, and his heart gradually sank.

Also calm is Song Yanzhao.

He went out of the palace gate, it was already dark, and he originally planned not to leave the palace, but after the conversation with Emperor Jiayou broke up unhappily, Song Yanzhao really didn't have the heart to stay in the palace, so he simply left the palace.

A lonely moon in the sky hung coldly in the air, a few cold stars next to it flashed faint light, and the heavenly street at the gate of the palace was cold and lonely, and there was no one in sight.

Song Yanzhao stood silently at the gate of the palace for a moment, turned over his horse, and went to the Six Princes' Mansion.

"Coming out of the palace?" Zhou Ye saw that his expression was cold, his face was tired, and his brows frowned slightly.

Song Yanzhao nodded silently and sat down on the Taishi chair opposite Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye hesitated, "How is Mrs. Mu?"

Song Yanzhao pursed his lips, he was in a bad mood today, it was late when he left the palace just now, so he didn't go to see Mu Jin, but with the state of that girl a few days ago, he would definitely not treat himself badly.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhou Ye shrugged his shoulders, "With the people of the Shen Criminal Division guarding it, there must be nothing wrong." ”

As soon as the words came out, there was a sudden and inexplicable silence in the air.

Song Yanzhao keenly raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Ye.

The eyes of the two met in the air, Zhou Ye's eyes flashed, and he was secretly surprised, when did Song Yanzhao, this kid, practice such a keen vision?

"That's right, I'm paying attention to the movements in the palace," Seeing Song Yanzhao staring at him motionlessly, Zhou Ye took the lead in speaking, "I thought about what you said that day." ”

Song Yanzhao still looked at him silently.

Zhou Ye paused, and after a while, he finally spoke firmly, "I think about it, no matter what happens in the future, at least it's time to change my way of life for now." ”

He doesn't want to, he can't do nothing all day long, indulge in wind and snow, even the former little overlord of Jinling is serious about his errands, he is a prince, how can he be worse than Song Yanzhao.

Song Yanzhao's lips moved, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Zhou Ye sighed deeply, "This time Mu Niangzi's matter touched me, born in the royal family, under the surface of flowers, no one knows what kind of dirt it covers, Mu Niangzi and a little lady will fall into such a whirlpool, how can I live a free life as I want, it's just self-deception." ”

Song Yanzhao was silent.

Zhou Ye suddenly raised his head, his eyes burning, "I've been thinking for the past few days, if one day I fall into such a whirlpool, can I find a way to save myself? But someone will run to save me? But someone will worry about me? After thinking for a long time, I finally figured out that instead of being passive everywhere, it is better to change myself, so that at least I can grasp part of the initiative in the face of great changes." ”
