Subsequently, Wang called a few henchmen to give an explanation.

These people quickly went to Bianjing City and began to spread the news of the invention of ice-making by the crown prince Zhao Zhen, and specially spread it to the three aunts and six women of Ding Wei, Cao Yu, Wang Qinruo and other people in the palace.

……

Evening.

Ding Wei returned to the house, began to throw things in anger, and shouted angrily: "How can this be reasonable, how can it be so unreasonable...... The prince deceived people too much, and he said that as long as Kou Zhun returned to the court to serve as the chief assistant, he immediately let Buju go, but two days have passed, and Buju has not come back......"

The housekeeper walked up and said with a smile: "Master, there is good news for the little one, it is about the prince!" ”

Ding Wei said angrily: "What the old man heard, as long as it is related to the prince, there is no good news!" ”

The housekeeper said with a smile: "Master, now, in Bianjing City, it is quietly spread that the prince is obsessed with the study of ice-making techniques, and he is not good at learning how to govern the country, and he is not doing his job, so the prince is so disappointed that the people are very disappointed......

Well?

Ding Wei's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Okay, since the prince is unkind, then don't blame the old man for being unjust, if the people of the entire Bianjing City know that the prince is not doing his job, there will be a good show to watch, hehe...... Prepare a sedan chair and go to the palace! ”

He was going to go to the palace to discuss with Wang Qinruo.

Ding Wei just walked out of the gate, but saw a sedan chair coming to him, which was used by Cao.

When the two met, Cao Yu asked, "Presumably Ding Xianggong also got the news, right?" ”

Ding Wei said with a smile: "Cao Shumi, our purpose should be the same, why don't we go to the prefect's mansion to discuss." ”

"It's good!"

The two took the same sedan chair and hurried to the palace.

……

Late at night.

The backyard of the royal palace.

Ding Wei, Cao Yu, Wang Qinruo, the three gathered together.

Ding Wei gritted his teeth and said: "The prince is the prince, it is said that we should not go against him, but now it seems that the prince loves Kou Zhun, Li Di, Wang Zeng, etc., but he dislikes us for no reason, according to this, once he has great influence and takes on the responsibility of supervising the country, he will definitely not let us go, we can't sit still, we must find some trouble for the prince, and cut off the possibility that Kou Zhun wants him to be in charge of the country......"

Cao Yu and Wang Qinruo nodded at the same time.

Ding Wei arranged: "Since this is the case, let's go our separate ways." ”

"Ding Xianggong is reasonable!"

"It's good!"

The three of them dispersed one after another.

As everyone knows, in a courtyard next to it, there is a woman who is fifteen or sixteen years old and slim by the wall.

The woman was attentive and frowned frequently.

The maid next to her whispered: "Miss, my lord, they are talking about military affairs, you are eavesdropping here, if you are discovered, you will be punished!" ”

The woman stood up and said unhappily: "Grandpa is really, he still talks so quietly in his backyard, I just hear a little intermittently, it seems that the current prince has invented an ice-making technique, which can refer to water into ice......"

The maid's eyes lit up, "Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is your future husband!" If he could turn water into ice, wouldn't you be able to eat ice in the summer? ”

The woman glanced at the maid and said to herself: "Ice making skills, you should be able to make a lot of money!" ”

……

Beginning the next day, in Bianjing City, it began to be rumored that Zhao Zhen was not doing his job properly and was obsessed with the study of ice-making techniques.

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, more and more people are spreading.

Everything is going according to Ding Wei and others' expectations.

……

Khao Fu.

When it was dark, the royal office came to the house in a state of anxiety.

As soon as he saw Kou Zhun, Wang Shu said uneasily: "Father-in-law, there is something that His Royal Highness has instructed me not to tell others, but in the past two days, the situation has become more and more serious, and the more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel, and things are like this......"

He briefly explained Zhao Zhen's arrangement.

When Kou Zhun heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he slapped the table: "Uncle Hao, you are confused!" The prince is young, and you, as a guest of the prince, have the responsibility of correcting mistakes, how can you know that he has made mistakes and still obey his orders? ”

Wang Wei said helplessly: "Father-in-law, don't you know, His Royal Highness's momentum is greater than that of the official family, I ...... I can't argue with that! ”

Kou Zhun said helplessly: "The old man thought about it, but he didn't figure out the key to this, maybe it was really His Highness's rise at the moment, Uncle Hao, you are right, we can't sit idly by, the only way now is to stop the spread of news, you and I, act separately, contact the people we trust, and mobilize all forces to prohibit the spread of ice-making news in Bianjing City, and you can take extraordinary measures at a critical time...... However, this matter will be kept secret from His Highness first! ”

Wang Wei nodded solemnly, "Yes, father-in-law!" ”

It is related to Zhao Zhen's reputation and the reputation of the imperial court, and Kou Zhun and Wang Zhi attach great importance to it.

Kou Zhun immediately contacted Wang Zeng, a doctor from Zuo, Yang Yi, a bachelor from Hanlin and others, and Wang contacted his trusted colleagues, Weng and his son-in-law, and each of them used all their strength to prevent the spread of news.

……

Ping shan.

Chen Lin wiped the sweat on his head and said nervously: "Your Highness, in the past few days, many people in Bianjing City have been rumoring that His Highness is obsessed with studying ice-making techniques and useless things, but he doesn't care about the government, and some people even say ...... Since ancient times, I have never seen such an unorthodox prince as His Royal Highness, or even ...... even said that the Great Song Dynasty was going to finish ......"

"Hahaha, great!" Zhao Zhen listened and said happily.

Chen Lin looked confused.

Is Your Highness crazy?

When you hear news that is unfavorable to you, you are still happy?

Of course, he didn't dare to say it.

He sighed and whispered to himself, "Fortunately, the government has stepped in to stop this." ”

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows, stood up suddenly, and asked, "Chen Banban, do you mean that the government came forward to stop the spread of this news?" ”

Chen Lin nodded.

Zhao Zhen was furious: "Which hook is it, Ding Wei?" Impossible, these news spread so quickly, it was a good thing they did, they wished that more people would know, how could they come forward to stop it, Liu E? It doesn't seem to be possible...... Could it be Kou Zhun? No, Kou Zhun didn't know about this in advance, so he shouldn't have reacted yet......"

He guessed for a long time, and he didn't figure out who was helping.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "Chen Banban, go and investigate, find out thoroughly, who is making trouble." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Chen Lin sent someone to investigate, but he had no clue.

Zhao Zhen was also a little confused: "Who is it?" If it is Kou Zhun, he shouldn't hide it from the palace, the court, can make such a big move, but can hide people's eyes, there are just a few people! ”

In desperation, he could only let Chen Lin continue to investigate.

……

Meanwhile.

Ding Wei, Cao You, and others also got the news, but how could they let go of a good opportunity to retaliate against Zhao Zhen, so they continued to invest more financial resources and manpower, and disdained to expand the intensity of spreading news at all costs.

Therefore, even if the government has stepped forward to prohibit the spread of news, it cannot be stopped.
