Chapter 331: Rumors are all over Kyoto
There were many powerful Fuso nobles in Kyoto Castle, and before that, they had all heard some lace news about Tokugawa Yasuaki and Empress Hanako.
But I didn't expect that today's news was not only related to Tokugawa Yasuaki and Empress Hanako, but also to Princess Lishino.
Originally, this was nothing, but once Li Guangtai, a member of the imperial court from the Great Zhou, was involved, the matter was not trivial.
Besides, they didn't expect the news to spread to the bottom this time, and even the people in the entire Kyoto City knew about last night's incident.
This kind of thing was spread back and forth among the nobles, and there was nothing originally, because similar things had long been commonplace for them, and the vast majority of people had done similar things.
But it would be very trivial for the grass people below to know about this kind of thing, and they had no way to get rid of the news, because now basically the entire people of Kyoto City already knew the news, and they couldn't arrest all the people in Kyoto City.
Even, because of their negligence, the news had already begun to spread from Kyoto City to Fuso the next day, and it was impossible to block Kyoto City and prevent the news from leaking.
In this regard, Tokugawa Yasuaki was angry and ordered a thorough investigation to see where the news leaked from.
It doesn't matter if you check this, the source of the news turned out to be leaked from the First Fleet of the Great Zhou Royal Navy, and it was spread by the children of the powerful families in Kyoto City.
Is this worth it?
Tokugawa Yasumaki couldn't do anything about the people of the First Fleet of the Great Zhou Royal Navy, but for those powerful people, Tokugawa Yasuaki had a way to deal with them.
But this kind of thing, if a family or two do this, Tokugawa Yasuaki still has a way to punish them, so as to vent the depression in his heart.
But dozens of aristocratic families leaked this news at the same time, and it was impossible for Tokugawa Yasuaki to find trouble for them.
Although Tokugawa Yasuaki was the de facto ruler of Fuso, the nobles of Kyoto Castle were united and were a powerful force.
After all, who hasn't kept a few samurai?
This is not the most serious thing, the most serious thing is that once the news spreads in Fuso, after the local daimyo and samurai know about it, it will definitely cause a new wave of turmoil, and it is even very likely that the Tokugawa shogunate will fall because of this.
When Tokugawa Yasuaki had nowhere to go, Li Guangtai, who had already known the news, was also very depressed.
Li Guangtai only found out about the news on the evening of the second day after attending the banquet in the Prince's Mansion.
Originally, Li Guangtai did not know the news, but when he returned to the First Fleet's garrison in the evening, he saw the officers and men of the First Fleet pointing at him, and Li Guangtai was puzzled in his heart.
Originally, Li Guangtai thought that he had wiped dirty things on his face, or his clothes were dirty, but when he went back to the house and picked up the mirror, he saw that there was no dirt on his face, and his clothes were clean, which made him depressed.
Arresting a soldier, Li Guangtai asked the reason.
"Lord Li doesn't even know about it?" The soldier was surprised, "What you did last night has already happened!" ”
"What happened last night?" Li Guangtai was puzzled, "Last night, the old man just attended a dinner party set up by Prince Songren, and he didn't do anything, what happened?" ”
Li Guangtai was anxious in his heart, and hurriedly asked the reason for this soldier, but the soldier patted his chest and promised: "Lord Li, but please rest assured, the commander has already given an order, and the matter between you and the Empress Fusang and the crown princess last night, we promise not to publicize it after returning to the Great Zhou." ”
"Queen Hanako? Crown Princess Lishino? What is this? Li Guangtai was depressed and wanted to explain to such a soldier, "The old man didn't do anything last night!" ”
Seeing the expression of 'men understand' in the eyes of such a soldier, he stopped asking and hurried to the residence of the commander of the First Fleet.
The commander of the First Fleet who escorted Li Guangtai to Fuso this time was named Sun Hui, and he was the deputy commander of the commander Han Liang and the deputy commander of the First Fleet.
As soon as he saw Sun Hui, Li Guangtai asked directly: "General Sun, what the hell is going on?" ”
Sun Hui stared at Li Guangtai with a 'surprised' expression and asked, "Master Li, what's going on?" ”
"It was last night!" Li Guangtai didn't have a good airway.
"That's what happened!" Sun Hui looked like he had a 'sudden realization', "Didn't the humble post already order that the brothers should not be allowed to go back and spread the story of Lord Li last night?" What else is there to worry about? ”
Seeing Sun Hui answer like this, Li Guangtai almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, gritted his teeth and said, "The old man didn't do anything last night!" The old man is innocent. ”
"Understood! Got it! Sun Hui smiled mysteriously and said, "Master Li really didn't do anything last night, so he went back to the couch early to rest!" ”
Seeing Sun Hui 'believe' in himself so much, Li Guangtai was obviously relieved.
Unexpectedly, Sun Hui's next words almost blocked Li Guangtai out of breath!
I saw Sun Hui say: "Master Li, it's not a humble job to say you, the next time you do this again, can you keep it secret?" Now, the whole city of Kyoto is spreading the word about you and Empress Fuso and the crown princess last night! ”
"The old man didn't do anything last night! The old man is innocent! Li Guangtai argued.
"Understood! Humble and understandable! Sun Hui replied like this, but on his face, there was an expression of believing that you are a ghost, which made Li Guangtai grit his teeth.
Li Guangtai couldn't wait to give Sun Hui two punches now, so as to vent, but it was obvious that Li Guangtai was not Sun Hui's opponent at all, so he could only leave Sun Hui's main place with hatred.
After Li Guangtai left, Sun Hui immediately summoned a few of his subordinates over and advised: "Regarding the matter of Lord Li, from tonight, the brothers are forbidden to spread it again, and they can't even mention it again." ”
"Why is that?" The generals below wondered.
"Lord Li is a good-looking person, and the current things are enough for him to be depressed, once the brothers point fingers at him again, with Lord Li's temperament, if there is something that I can't think of, how can we explain to Commander Han? How do I give an account to the Holy One?
You must know that Li Guangtai is the imperial history of the left capital of Zheng Erpin, and in terms of official position, it is not comparable to our Han commander. ”
When everyone thought about it carefully, they were also afraid for a while.
The last person to be afraid is, of course, Sun Hui, the commander of the First Fleet.
Zhang Lingyang's secret order was just for them to stop Li Guangtai's trip to Fusang, but now it is obvious that things are out of control.
With Li Guangtai's temperament, if he can't stand such a 'great shame' and looks for a short-term view, the consequences will be ......
