41. Rumors
Nanjing has always been a melting pot, where all kinds of people live, from high-ranking officials and nobles to the common people, everyone has exercised in this melting pot. Behavior is naturally strong. In particular, he will observe words and colors, and it is a must to catch the wind and shadows, and then, after rendering, add words and vinegar, so that a story will appear alive in front of people.
There is often no shortage of communicators and people who listen to the story, especially the lace news is more talked-about, enough to satisfy the curiosity of all kinds of people.
And so, this is how the rumor was formed.
After the bow competition, within two days, rumors came out: the queen mother had a personal affair with the political order.
People saw the Queen Mother rushing down the stands desperately and running towards the decree, and looking at the decree, the Empress Dowager was so frightened that she couldn't even speak. This is the original version.
A day later, a new version came out: the Queen Mother rushed down from the stands, hugged the decree, cried bitterly, lifted the clothes of the decree, carefully examined the injury, and her eyes were full of pity.
On the third day, a new version appeared: the government order was injured, which made the queen mother lose her mind, she killed Huli with her own hands, and slashed countless knives at Huli, until she was so tired that she couldn't even lift the knife, and then stopped, which shows how deep her hatred for Huli is and why does the Queen Mother hate Huli so much? Because she loves politics too much. As the saying goes: as deep as love is, so deep is hate.
The rumors spread faster and wider, and the more outrageous they became. Moreover, people would rather believe the outrageous legend than the original facts. Although some of those present refuted the rumors, the rumors still became more and more fierce like the wind fueling the fire.
"Hey, do you know why the government decree has never been married?"
"I guess he must have gotten married for the sake of that one."
"It must be so, otherwise, how can a big man not get married? Can he stand it? ”
"If you like to think crookedly, the government decree doesn't think like that."
"What do you think about the decree, how do you know? You see that person is so beautiful, isn't he tempted by the political order? ”
"Yes, do you know why the first emperor left so early?"
"Needless to say, the body is hollowed out."
"Eh, I said that the first emperor was killed by them?"
"Yes, it's very possible, the first emperor went so young, it stands to reason that it is impossible. The death of the first emperor must have something to do with them. ”
"Hey, guys, do you see? The emperor is very similar to the decree, right? ”
"Yes, it's really very similar, is the emperor the kind of government order?"
The remarks that were not favorable to Xiao Xuan were burning and spreading like cooking oil, and there were whispers in the court.
Xiao Xuan was tormented by these rumors, and the rumors were like ropes that tightened her grip and made it difficult for her to breathe. She didn't know why she was so out of shape that day, where was her usual steady? Now, this rumor came like a rain of arrows, and in an instant, she lost the power to fight back.
In the past few days, Xiao Sui has been thinking hard about how to control the spread of rumors. However, the rumors spread so quickly that she was caught off guard.
On this day, the lower face was backward, and the room Fang did not leave.
Xiao Xuan knew that he had something to say, so he invited him to Yanshou Palace.
Mu Fang didn't sit down, so he said: "The rumors on the street must have been heard by the Queen Mother." ”
Xiao Xuan didn't say anything, her brows furrowed.
Room Fang said: "The Queen Mother can't let these rumors spread, that would be very bad for the Queen Mother." ”
Xiao Sui said: "I am also in a hurry, but how can I block Youyou's mouth?" You can't arrest everybody. ”
Mu Fang said: "Yes, almost all Nanjing people are spreading rumors now, and they can't stop it." ”
Xiao Sui said: "Aiqing knows where the rumors came from? ”
Mu Fang shook his head and said, "I don't know where it came from, but it must have been the first to be discussed by those who watched the bow." ”
Xiao Sui said: "I also know this, but how did such outrageous rumors come out in the end?" ”
Mu Fang said, "I don't know. ”
Xiao Sui said: "Can you find any clues?" ”
"Clues may be found, but even if clues are found, they still can't stop the spread of rumors." ”
Xiao Sui thought about it and felt that what Mu Fang said was the truth, so he asked, "How can I stop the rumors from circulating?" ”
The room opened his mouth, but he stopped talking.
Xiao Sui said: "If you have anything to say, don't say it directly." ”
"I think there is someone who can stop the rumors. ”
Xiao Xuan looked at Mu Fang, and said after a while: "There is no other way besides him?" ”
Mu Fang shook his head.
Xiao Sui said: "Okay, Aiqing will persuade him, but don't force him." ”
Mu Fang said: "The minister knows that before this, the minister also wants to invite the queen mother to stabilize the courtiers first and cut off some people's thoughts." ”
Xiao Sui said: "Aiqing is right, I see that some people are about to move these days, and I am very uneasy. ”
Room Fang said: "The Queen Mother should not be too worried, now is not as good as when the first emperor collapsed, now the overall situation is stable, and the ability of the Queen Mother has also been recognized by the people. ”
Xiao Xuan said: "Even so, I still have to be cautious, and now there is not only Yelu Hugo in Nanjing who is in charge of the army, the five armies, the six armies, the Xi army, and the Murwei army all have their own leaders, and the power of these people should not be underestimated. ”
Mu Fang said: "The five armies and the six armies are all subject to Yelu Hugo's moderation, there will be no hindrance, the Xi army is the most powerful, the queen mother must take good care of him, the minister sees that the king of Xi is an upright and cheerful person, there is kindness and retribution, the queen mother must not lose him." ”
Xiao Xuan said: "This is also the reason why you want to release Miriji, right?" ”
"Yes," said Muro. ”
The next day, Xiao Sui rewarded the courtiers in the court, rewarded the knights, and all the courtiers were extremely happy and grateful, especially Xi Wang Caining, who got a red tendon bead, although there is nothing special about this bead, but throughout Daliao, there are only a few people who can get the red tendon beads, and those who are not meritorious can not get it. When he received the beads, King Xi's hands trembled, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak. Then I heard that Miriji had also been released, and King Xi was moved to tears, and he couldn't wait to give his life to Xiao Xuan immediately.
The rumors were a catalyst for the imperial concubine Hu Ran. Despite his daily fear, the rumors made her extremely excited. The rumors in the market said what she wanted to say, what she wanted to do but didn't do, like God's help. She believed that these rumors would definitely kill Xiao Xuan, discrediting her and rolling off the stage in disgrace.
She inquired about the progress of the case every day, was vigilant against all disturbances, secretly prepared an escape plan, and fled to the Bohai Sea as soon as there was unfavorable news.
But for several days, the Criminal Department did not interrogate any eyebrows, Hu Limuro really did a good job, he did a good job, although he did not kill Han Derang, but the rumors caused were more powerful than killing him. Now that some people in the court are beginning to doubt them, there is a great hope that they will be brought down if they add another fire.
As soon as he thought that he could bring down Han Derang and Xiao Xuan, Hu Yuan was even more excited. However, there is no capable person around her now, no one can be used by her, and she repeatedly calculates who that person is.
The next day, she went to King Xi's mansion.
King Xi was in good spirits and smiling, so he invited Hu Yin to sit down and watched the tea.
Hu Yuan saw that King Xi had been playing with a string of beads, and asked, "The king's beads are so beautiful, where did they come from?" ”
King Xi smiled: "Yes, it is very beautiful, and it was rewarded by the Queen Mother." ”
"Rewarded by the Queen Mother?" Hu Yan asked with wide eyes.
King Xi said: "Yes, the red tendon beads are very precious. ”
Hu Yin said: "The red tendon beads are all rewarded to those who have made outstanding contributions, and they are all awarded to the Khitans, and the king is the first foreigner to get the red tendon beads." ”
King Xi smiled and said: "No, the queen mother's kindness will never be repaid in this life." ”
Hu Ran was like a suffocating stick, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and only said after a long time: "How is your guard Miriji?" ”
King Xi said: "Oh, it's been put back, the Queen Mother is really kind and generous, and she has mercy on the common people, such a master, who doesn't serve her?" ”
Hu Yin hurriedly said: "Yes, the Queen Mother is really magnanimous, and the mourning family still thinks that all the people in the bow team will be killed." ”
King Xi said: "Yes, I really didn't expect Miriji to come back alive." ”
Hu Yin came back from King Xi's mansion in a huff, she didn't expect Xiao Xuan to play back Miriji, it was impossible for her not to kill him, there must be a purpose for letting him go, she wanted to entrap King Xi, that's for sure. Perhaps, she had another purpose. Thinking that Xiao Xuan had another purpose, Hu Yan's heart suddenly tightened. She wasn't sure if Hu Limu had told him about their plot, and if she had told him, Miriji had not confessed his righteous anger, and Xiao Xuan had released him, not by using him to lure me out as the mastermind behind the scenes. That's not good.
Miriji couldn't stay, and Hu Yuan felt that his worries were justified.
That night, Hu Ran found a tart to solve the horse.
This Bohai man took the initiative to ask for the burial of Emperor Jingzong, the emperor, the queen mother, and the clan were greatly moved, and won the name of a great loyal minister. Not only that, but Tart Ma Xie Li also made steady progress and achieved the post of Fengling Army, and Hu Yin became the imperial concubine. Otherwise, Hu Yin may still be in the cold palace.
Hu Yuan is very grateful to this old family, when she was sent to the Khitan like a tribute, she went to the Khitan with him. In the early days, Tart Ma Xie Li took care of her like a family member, gave her advice, relieved her boredom, and let her get through the most difficult days. Later, it was his bitter plan to use his own funeral in exchange for her freedom, and this love will never be forgotten.
However, Tart Ma Xie Li is indeed a loyal person, and he wants to be martyred for Jingzong, and he is also sincere. In the matter of female actors, he is also opposed. Therefore, although Hu Ran trusted him very much, he was reluctant to discuss important matters with him.
Tonight, I called the tart Ma Xie Li, Hu Yin really has no other way to think of it.
Tart Ma Xie Li said: "The imperial concubine called the ministers, what is the matter?" ”
Hu Yin said: "Jie Du envoy, have you heard the recent rumors in Nanjing? ”
Tart Ma Xie was slightly stunned and said, "What did the imperial concubine hear?" ”
Hu Yin said: "It's the business of those two people. ”
Tart Ma Jieli's face darkened, and he said, "What does the imperial concubine want to do?" ”
Hu said: "I want to add another fire." ”
Tart Ma Xie said: "The imperial concubine must not do this, your fire will not burn others, but will only burn yourself." ”
Hu Yan couldn't say anything, his eyes were desperate.
Tart Ma Xie Li seemed to see Hu Yan's embarrassment, and said: "If the imperial concubine wants to achieve great things, it is easy to do it with soldiers in her hands." ”
Tart Ma Xie said a sentence to clear the clouds in front of Hu Yin's eyes, and hurriedly said: "The mourning family also thinks so, but how can you get soldiers?" ”
Tart Ma Xie Li said: "Don't be anxious about the imperial concubine, as long as you pay attention, there will always be a day when you will master the army." ”
Hu Yin said: "But the mourning family can't wait any longer, the mourning family is already in very danger." ”
Tart Ma Xie Li asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”
Hu Ran told Ma Xie Li about the Hu Li room.
Tart Ma Xie Li said: "Don't worry, the imperial concubine, this matter will be handled by me, and I guarantee that he will not be able to open his mouth." ”
