Inside Luoyang City.

Streets and alleys, restaurants and tea shops.

From high-ranking officials and nobles to peddlers and pawns, there is a lively gossip spreading.

"Have you heard?" A person in a teahouse lowered his voice and asked the people around him.

"What did you hear? Something new has happened lately. "The fire of gossip among the people around is burning.

"I heard that the King of Jin had an affair with a concubine surnamed Wu of the emperor." The man looked around mysteriously and continued.

"Come on! I thought it was something new, we already knew about this, and we still need to say it, and it's still mysterious. There were sighs from the people around.

The matter of Li Zhi, the king of Jin and the emperor's talents, has already spread throughout Luoyang, and it is not a new thing.

But its popularity is still high, and it has become a topic of conversation after dinner, which would have been on the headlines of entertainment gossip long ago if it had been put into future generations.

People even speculated whether the emperor's empty and lonely talent hooked up with the young prince late at night, or whether the young prince forcibly took possession of the emperor's talent.

The city guards patrolled back and forth on the streets, and once they found the person who spread the scandal, whether they were the masterminds or not, they were arrested and put in prison without saying a word.

This caused the people on the street to talk about this matter gathered together and whispered, and from time to time they looked up to see if there would be a patrol of the city defense army passing by.

The city defense army also turned a blind eye to this matter, as long as they were not heard, they could say whatever they wanted, and they would never be able to arrest everyone.

What's more, they are still discussing this matter in private, and everyone knows it, so there is no need to be so serious.

This matter spread very quickly, basically overnight, spread to the streets and alleys, was known to everyone, and suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

The beauty of the rumor is that it spreads quickly, but it is impossible to find out where it came from or what it did.

And the initiator of our incident, Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, racked his brains in the East Palace, thinking about how to write a letter to Li Er that was touching and heartfelt.

"Sneeze ......"

Li Chengqian rubbed his nose and muttered: Who is scolding me behind my back.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Chengqian finally thought of how to write, and immediately wrote a touching letter.

"Wang Quan, send this letter to Luoyang to Your Majesty!" Li Chengqian said that this was his first step to go to Luoyang.

If you go to Luoyang recklessly without preparing for anything, it is easy to arouse suspicion, so this first step is essential.

"No!" Wang Quan took the order and left.

Inside the Luoyang Imperial Palace.

His Majesty Li Er was furious, since this rumor spread, not only did he not take it down, but it also became more and more intense, which made him very angry.

Looking at His Majesty Li Er, who was furious, Chu Suiliang and the others were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath.

Now that His Majesty Li Er is angry, even Chu Suiliang, who has always been bold, shrunk his neck like a quail, staying aside and not daring to say anything.

Not to mention other people, who dares to touch His Majesty Li Er's moldy head right now.

Li Zhi, the king of Jin on the side, was silently wiping his tears, he was frightened for the past few days, for fear that the matter between him and Sister Wu would really happen.

But fortunately, although they have had intimate contact, they have not yet broken through the moral bottom line and taken a step beyond the thunder pool.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be wiping tears now.

Li Zhi cursed in his heart the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of this person who spread rumors.

"Luoyang Mansion Yin, recently we can find out where this rumor came from, who did it, and what is the reason for doing this?" His Majesty Li Er looked at an official from the third rank and said.

This official is slightly chubby, in his forties, with a white and ruddy face, and two goatees on his mouth, he is the actual supreme official of Luoyang, Luoyang Mansion Yin Gao Huien.

Chang'an, Luoyang, and Taiyuan are the state pastors who are nominally the highest officials served by the prince, but in fact the real management is the Fu Yin, and the state pastor is just a title for the prince.

Gao Huien walked out of the crowd tremblingly, he has not eaten well or slept well for this matter in the past few days.

But there is still no clue about this matter, the progress of the case is slow, let alone finding out who spread it, and even how to spread it, he still hasn't figured it out.

"The ministers, the ministers are incompetent, and they still have no clue, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" Luoyang Mansion Yin Gaohui said.

"Humph!" Li Er snorted coldly, and expressed dissatisfaction with Gao Huien's ability to do things: "You can't even do this little thing, how did you act as the Yin of Luoyang Mansion?" ”

"Come on, drag me out and behead me."

When the guards outside the hall heard Li Er's voice, they immediately rushed in and stepped forward to pull Gao Huien.

"Ahh Gao Huien was half frightened to death, and after breaking free from the guards, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is gracious!" Your Majesty spares your life! ”

He didn't want to die!

"Your Majesty!" Chu Suiliang couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly stood up to stop him: "Your Majesty! What does this have to do with Gao Fu Yin? The rumors spread quickly, basically overnight throughout Luoyang, Gao Fuyin has tried his best, but still has not found out the source of the rumors. ”

"But even so, you can't blame Gao Fuyin, even if he doesn't do things well, he doesn't deserve to die."

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said, "Your Majesty! Now it is not a matter of investigating Gao Fuyin's dereliction of duty, but how to stop the rumors from continuing to spread, and find out the whole story of the matter as soon as possible. ”

"Even if Your Majesty kills Gao Fu Yin, what can you do? In order to vent his momentary anger, can he solve the problem by killing the officials of the imperial court in vain? ”

"Father, Gaofu Yin is conscientiously running around for this matter, there is no merit and hard work, and I also ask my father to read Gaofu Yin's dedication to doing things, don't be angry with him because of the affairs of his son." King Li Zhidao of Jin.

After Li Er heard this, he calmed down, he was too anxious, after all, this matter was about his beloved son Li Zhi, how could he not let him get angry.

"What Wuji and Sui Liang said is not unreasonable, this matter is that I am too anxious! For the sake of King Jin's intercession for you, this time I will temporarily note that Gaofu Yin will solve the case as soon as possible. Li Erdao waved his hand to let the guards retreat.

The guards saluted and withdrew.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing! The ministers will definitely find out the murderer behind the scenes and return the innocence of the king of Jin. Gaofu Yin Dao, who picked up a life, was grateful to Li Zhi in his heart.

What do you think about this? What are the countermeasures? Li Er looked at the ministers and said.

Everyone was silent for a while, not even knowing how to come here, how to find a way to solve it.

Li Er waited for a long time, but still didn't see anyone stand up to solve his problems, so he was even more angry.

On weekdays, one is more capable than the other, and now no one can stand up to solve this matter.

"That's it! Stand down, all of you! Li Erdao.

"Wait for the resignation!" The people saluted and withdrew.
