Early the next morning, the subjects of Yingdu woke up and suddenly found that there were all kinds of rumors in Yingdu.

"The attack of the Five Kingdoms on Chencheng made Yin Zhaoju's command ineffective, so that Chencheng, the gateway to Jianghuai, an important town of our Chu State, was conquered by the Five Kingdoms when the strength of the Chu army still existed."

"The king of Chu was determined to change the law, in order to recover the power of the feudal monarch, in order to reduce the resistance to the change, he deliberately instructed Yin Zhaoju to abandon Chen Cheng and lead the troops of the five countries into Chu, and use the power of the five countries to eliminate the feudal monarch."

"I heard that the king has made up his mind to attack the feudal monarch who lost his fief this time, and he will destroy Yiyang Jun and them."

"It is said that the last time the Six Kingdoms invaded Chu, the reason why the Danxi defense line was lost, and the reason why Zhao Lingjun and others betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, at that time, the king secretly issued an edict, otherwise, Zhao Lingjun and others were deeply grateful to the country, and they would never surrender to the enemy."

"Legend has it that the last time the Six Kingdoms invaded Chu, the reason why Gongzi Lan took refuge in the Six Kingdoms was because the king forced him in the name of his father, otherwise, how could Gongzi Zilan, as the son of the king, betray his father?"

"In order to change the law and take back the power of the feudal monarch, the king even sacrificed his own concubine, and even used the power of other countries to weaken his own feudal monarch."

"Yiyang Jun and they have already led the army to leave Juyang, and they plan to unite the feudal monarchs and important ministers in the court to rebel against the king, and jointly promote the crown prince as the new king."

"Someone saw that Yiyang Jun and their disciples sent heavy gifts to the important ministers of the court, and the important ministers of the court accepted the gifts, and they have decided to agree to the requests of the feudal lords in various places and betray the king."

"Because the king wants to execute the prince's son Chengyang Jun Gongzi Ping (Chengyang Jun Gongzi Ping's fief has been lost) like he executed Gongzi Zilan, the prince was shocked when he heard this, and entered the palace to theorize with the king, and as a result, the king and the prince fell out because of Gongzi Ping."

···

These rumors appeared suddenly, and spread extremely quickly, and spread throughout Yingdu at an astonishing speed when everyone did not expect it.

Rumors spread everywhere, it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and all the subjects of Yingdu were talking about it, and they were at a loss for what to do.

In the palace.

When Xiong Huai was having breakfast, he was approached by the panicked Chen Zhen, and then when he heard Chen Zhen talk about the rumors in the city, he was slightly stunned and immediately frowned.

Suddenly heard this news, and the rumors in the city were still so huge and violent, and pointed to the root of the contradictions in the Chu State, which made Xiong Huai unable to figure out the situation for a while, and he didn't know whose handiwork it was.

What's more, these rumors all hit Xiong Huai's biggest fears. In addition, Yiyangjun and their book yesterday looked like they were loyal, and Zhao Ju was the villain who misled the country, which made Xiong Huai hesitate even more.

Then, Xiong Huai saw Chen Zhen standing aside, his face was heavy and nervous, and his heart suddenly became heavier.

Even Chen Zhen, who was in charge of intelligence, was so out of shape, then the ministers of Yingdu, as well as the people in Yingdu, must have more panic in their hearts.

Thinking about it, although Xiong Huai's heart was heavy, the worry on his face quickly disappeared, and then he became calm.

Although he didn't know what the purpose of the rumor-mongers was, when he couldn't find the rumor-mongers, the easiest way to deal with them was to be calm, as long as he didn't mess up, then the power of rumors would be greatly reduced.

So, Xiong Huai smiled and asked calmly: "Chen Qing is fortunate, he entered the palace early in the morning to report the news to the widow, I think Xianqing will not have time to eat." ”

When Chen Zhen saw that the King of Chu heard the news, he didn't ask him if he had caught the person who spread the rumors, nor did he ask him if he had any way to deal with it, but asked him first if he had eaten it.

After he was slightly stunned, he immediately reacted, this is the response of the king of Chu.

Thinking about it, Chen Zhen took a deep breath, and then the anxiety on his face disappeared instantly, and then he responded with a smile: "Back to the king, state affairs are important, and eating is a personal matter, so naturally it should be put behind." ”

Xiong Huai saw that a smile appeared on Chen Zhen's face in an instant, and he didn't see Fang Cai's sad face at all, and immediately knew that Chen Zhen had understood what he meant.

So, Xiong Huai immediately laughed and scolded: "Xianqing's move is to trap the widow for being unkind, as the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, the people are iron and steel, and they are hungry if they don't eat a meal, not to mention, the army fights on the battlefield, it is a matter of the survival of the country, and before the army goes to the battlefield, they also have to have a full meal.

Since Xianqing has not eaten yet, then ask Xianqing to eat with the widow, so as not to let others say that the widow is cruel and stingy. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai immediately ordered: "Come on, set up a table for Thorn Shiling, and serve wine and meat." ”

When Chen Zhen heard this, he immediately thanked him and said, "King Xie! ”

Then, the wine and meat came up, and after Chen Zhen used a mouthful of porridge, ate a piece of meat, and drank a sip of wine, Xiong Huai asked with a smile: "Xianqing This is also the first time to have breakfast in the palace, I don't know how the breakfast in the palace is?" ”

Chen Zhen immediately cooperated: "The deliciousness is abnormal..."

Just in the dining room where Xiong Huai and Chen Zhen were talking and laughing, a waiter came quickly to report:

"King, the left disciple is asking to see you outside the palace."

When Xiong Huai heard this, he smiled and responded: "I know, please wait outside." ”

The waiter was stunned when he heard this, this was the first time that the king of Chu did not immediately meet Qu Yuan when he asked to see Qu Yuan, but asked him to wait outside the palace.

Although the waiter was puzzled in his heart, he saw that the king of Chu was still talking and laughing with Chen Zhen, so he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately responded: "Only." ”

As soon as the waiter left, another waiter walked in: "King, Zuo Yin is asking to see you outside the palace." ”

Xiong Huai still smiled and responded, "Please wait outside the palace for a while." ”

Outside the palace.

When Qu Yuan and Zhao Chang were discussing the rumors in Yingdu, a waiter came over.

"Zuo disciple, the king has an edict, please wait outside."

Seeing that his request to see was rejected by the King of Chu, Qu Yuan's face suddenly sank, and he looked at the messenger who came to report hesitantly: "Has the king already gotten up, and have you reported the news of my request to the king." ”

When the waiter heard this, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Back to the left, I have already reported the news of the left's request to see the king in person, but the king is having dinner with the assassin Shiling, and said to let the leftist wait." ”

Qu Yuan was stunned, and was suddenly full of doubts, the king was talking to Chen Zhen about something, but he didn't summon him immediately.

Just when Qu Yuan hesitated, Zhao Chang opposite him was also looking at Qu Yuan with meaningful eyes.

The king was having dinner with Chen Zhen, which showed that the king was already aware of the rumors in the city.

And the rumors in the city, except for a small part of the news about the defeat of the Chu State in the previous war, most of the other rumors focused on the change.

When the king knew the news, he immediately showed an attitude of alienating Qu Yuan, does this mean that the king has been worried about the menacing rumors, and has been hesitant to change the law...

Or rather, the king should show hesitation in order to paralyze those who spread rumors.

Thinking about it, a flash of joy flashed in Zhao Chang's heart, no matter what the reason, as long as the king showed concerns, it was good news, which showed that the king was undecided.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chang looked at Qu Yuan again, and saw that his face was anxious and worried, and his heart instantly became comfortable, and he comforted Qu Yuan with a smile: "Don't worry, Zuo disciple, maybe the king is talking to Thorn Shi Ling at the moment, and he has no time to take care of him." ”

Zhao Changzheng comforted Qu Yuan, and then saw the waiter who was delivering the news for him coming over.

So he didn't care about comforting Qu Yuan, and immediately greeted the waiter.

Before he could speak, the waiter spoke: "Zuo Yin, the king has an edict, please wait for a while." ”

Zhao often heard the words for a while.

On the other side, Qu Yuan also heard this, and when he saw that Zhao Chang was getting the same treatment as himself, he immediately put his mind at ease, and then comforted Zhao Chang and said: "Zuo Yin, maybe the king is talking to Assassin Shi Ling Zheng at the moment, and he has no time to take care of him, Zuo Yin might as well wait outside the palace with Ping." ”
