The discussion came to an end for the time being, Duanmu Youning couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and raised his head to look at Yan Xunhuan: "Xunhuan, this ......"

"These rumors have not been around for a day or two," Yan Xunhuan's expression was solemn, "As that person just said, I'm afraid that they have spread all over the Imperial Capital City." What's more, it is also said that the former emperor actually died at the hands of the emperor, and that today the emperor is simply killing the emperor and usurping the throne! Although the people are only discussing in private, the city is full of the emperor's secret agents, so the emperor may be about to take measures to prevent the rumors from continuing to spread!"

Duanmu Youning's eyes flickered: Rumors, I'm afraid it may not be, according to Nangong Yu's previous account, the crown prince of the previous dynasty is likely to be wronged, and everything is just a conspiracy designed by Donglin Luo Xi to steal the throne!

It's just that the crown prince had obviously been forcibly poured poisoned with poisoned wine by Donglin Luoxi and died, so how could he come back to seek justice? Could it be that there was another strange reason for the death of the crown prince back then? For example, someone secretly rescued him, but only gave him a drug that made him fake his death, so that he escaped the catastrophe? Or is it that someone Li Dai Tao stiffened and replaced the prince with the prince at the expense of his own death?

Seeing that she was silent, Yan Xunhuan was a little strange: "Girl, what are you thinking?

"Uh...... Nothing. Duanmu came back to his senses and smiled indifferently, "I'm just wondering if these rumors are true or groundless." ”

"Then I don't know. Yan Xunhuan shook his head, "I'm not from the Yulin Kingdom, and I don't know anything about the previous dynasty. However, I think that no matter whether the rumors are true or not, the emperor will not be indifferent, so I am only worried...... The people in the Imperial Capital are afraid that they will suffer again!"

Duanmu Youning pursed his lips and immediately understood what he meant: before, just to capture the assassin who assassinated Concubine Rou, countless innocent people had already died in vain. These rumors about the crown prince of the previous dynasty have directly threatened the throne of Tanglin Luoxi, and his reaction will only become more intense, and he doesn't know how to kill!

With a frown, she looked at the people who were still whispering: "Sometimes, mortals are so stupid. When it comes to apprehending the Assassins, they should know how to be careful in what they say and do, so as not to get into trouble, but ......"

"No, it's human nature to be curious. Yan Xunhuan smiled bitterly, "Suddenly hearing such an amazing thing, they naturally couldn't help but talk a few words, but they didn't know that this is how the disaster came unconsciously." ”

No matter how worried the two were, they couldn't do anything about it, and after talking for a while, they dispersed.

However, as they expected, as soon as dawn dawned the next day, the forbidden army of the Imperial City went out in full gear and went from house to house to arrest those who spread rumors, saying that they had malicious intentions and intended to rebel! Such a heinous person cannot be forgiven, and once the crime is confirmed, he will be killed in the street without forgiveness, so as to set an example!

All of a sudden, I saw hundreds of ordinary people being tied up and escorted to the streets, and died tragically under the swords of the forbidden army in the imperial city! But seeing the corpses all over the city, the blood flowed like rivers, and the cries of the relatives of the deceased went straight into the sky, which was unbearable to hear!

Soon, the entire Imperial Capital City was once again shrouded in a terrifying haze, and the sky over the huge capital city was covered with clouds, lightning and thunder at any time, and even blood and rain!

However, even so, it couldn't eliminate the panic and anger in Donglin Luoxi's heart!

No one knows the truth of the prince's rebellion back then, no one knows better than him, he thought that after so many years, he would be able to sit firmly in the country of Yulin, and no one would mention the matter of that year at all. Who knew that just this year, he was unsuspecting and the situation changed abruptly!

Although many people were arrested and killed, and countless others were still tortured in prison, the real mastermind was never caught!

Just when he was still anxious and at a loss for what to do about the assassins, there were such terrifying rumors that made him tremble again! Compared to a few assassins, this time it was the real sore spot that stepped on him!

Donglin Luo Xi didn't know that the events back then were not as seamless as he expected at the beginning, and there were countless people in the court, including the people of Yulin Kingdom, who were skeptical of the prince's rebellion, but under the suppression of his assassination policy, no one dared to say the doubts in their hearts for the time being!

However, the days of peace are coming to an end after only a dozen years? No, he is not reconciled! He will never allow anyone to take away the country that he has so hard won!

In the early days, the atmosphere in the court was more dull and solemn than the atmosphere in the imperial capital, and while waiting for the emperor, many ministers tacitly exchanged glances, and they were a little uneasy in their hearts, and they didn't know how the emperor should be thunderous and angry. However, Tanglin Chenyang and Donglin Guyun looked calm, their eyes were deep, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"The emperor has arrived,"

"Ministers, see the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Tanglin Luo Xi sat on the throne with a gloomy face, and opened his mouth with a cold snort: "Zhongqing is flat!"

The ministers got up and lined up on both sides, and no one dared to speak. Dongling Luo Xi looked around, and when he saw the appearance of everyone shrinking his hands, he immediately surged with anger, gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone, Aiqing, rumors have spread in the imperial city recently, causing panic in the hearts of the people, and the people's hearts are unstable, I don't know what good plan the Aiqing have?"

Is the panic and instability of the people because of rumors? Clearly because of your bloody suppression?

The ministers muttered secretly, but still no one dared to be the first to speak. Although Tanglin Chenyang did not turn his head, he glanced at Tanglin Guyun with the corner of his eye, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he continued to remain silent, so as not to say too much.

Seeing that the ministers had become stuffy gourds one by one, Dongling Luo Xi became more and more annoyed, and slammed the armrest and shouted: "Yao Zhiyi!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yao Zhiyi, the secretary of the criminal department who was shrinking his shoulders and did not dare to come out, rushed over and fell to his knees with a thud, "What does the emperor command?"

"Didn't you already know what I commanded?" Dongling Luo Xi couldn't help but sneer angrily, "I ask you, did you ask the mastermind behind the assassins you arrested a few days ago, who asked them to come and assassinate Concubine Rou?"

Yao Zhiyi secretly complained, and cold sweat was already flowing down: "This...... The minister is stepping up the interrogation, that ...... The results should be coming soon......"

"Soon, how fast?" Tanglin Luo Xi stared at him tightly, his gaze was as dark as a poisonous snake, "I've asked you this question many times, right?

Yao Zhiyi became more and more cold sweat, lying on the ground and not daring to raise his head: "The minister should die! The minister has a negative grace! The minister must step up the interrogation, the minister should ......die."

"That's enough!" Dongling Luo Xi was irritable and interrupted his chatter sharply, "Yao Zhiyi, I will give you another ten days, and after ten days, if you still can't ask the mastermind behind the scenes, I only ask!"

Ten days, why don't you kill me now!

Yao Zhiyi only felt that his eyes were black for a while, but he had to struggle to get up: "Yes! Yes, yes, obey the order!"

I can't ask anything for so long, how can I find out the mastermind behind the scenes in 10 days? Either go back and prepare for the future, or lead the whole family to flee for their lives!

Sure enough, the companion is like a tiger, and it seems that this imperial capital city can't stay......

Not knowing what Yao Zhiyi had already thought, Tanglin Luoxi, who was still angry, turned his gaze to another person and said coldly: "Duan Mingzheng!"

Duan Mingzheng, the secretary of the military department, stiffened, and then sighed silently: It's over! I knew that the next unlucky person must be me!

Trembling and taking a few steps forward, he fell to his knees, barely keeping his composure: "The minister is here!"

Tanglin Luoxi's face was even more gloomy: "Have you ever found the source of the rumors? Who is the gossip to confuse the people and confuse people's hearts?"

"This ......" Duan Mingzheng's face was full of cold sweat that was no worse than Yao Zhiyi's, "The minister is stepping up the investigation, and he has already arrested a large number of people who spread rumors, but it's just ...... The source of the rumors is still ...... It remains to be ...... chase"

"Waste!" Before the last word could be spoken, Donglin Luo Xi had already stood up and scolded sharply, "The entire Imperial Capital City is about to be turned over by you, and you haven't found the source?!

"Yes, yes, yes, the minister should be damned!" Duan Mingzheng kowtowed again and again, only to hear the sound of banging, and his forehead quickly turned purple, "The minister must step up the investigation! Hurry up the investigation! The minister should be ......damned."

Tanglin Luo Xi gritted his teeth, and was about to continue to criticize him severely, but suddenly saw Tanglin Guyun shaking his head slightly at him. Stunned for a moment, he was full of anger and actually suffocated, and then waved his hand and said, "That's it! You get up first!"

Duan Mingzheng couldn't believe that he had let himself go so easily, and immediately got up with a thousand thanks: "Yes! Yes, yes, thank you, Lord Longen......"

Sitting back on the throne, Tanglin Luo Xi finally calmed down a little, and said with a cold snort: "The escaped assassins must continue to be arrested, and they must not be given a chance to hurt Concubine Rou again! Those who spread rumors must also continue to be severely punished, and find out the source of the rumors as soon as possible, and they must not be allowed to confuse the people and confuse people's hearts with such false words!"

"The emperor is wise!"

Finally escaped the emperor's thunderous wrath for the time being, and the ministers all secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat away. Stroking his forehead, Tanglin Luo Xi said tiredly: "Yun'er, you stay." ”

"Yes. ”

Tanglin Guyun agreed and stopped, his face full of pampering and humiliation. However, a trace of doubt quickly flashed in Tanglin Chenyang's eyes: since the fall of the crown prince, the most promising people to inherit the throne are him and Donglin Guyun......

After everyone left the main hall, Dongling Luo Xi opened his mouth with a strong spirit: "Yun'er, you just shook your head at me, what is your purpose?"

"The retainers have trespassed. Tanglin Guyun said lightly, "It is normal for my father to be anxious about assassins and rumors. But now is an eventful time, and it is also the time to employ people, if the father is in a hurry to punish the courtiers, won't it make the ministers feel cold?"

What's more, Yao Zhiyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Duan Mingzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, are still of great use in keeping, and they can't die in your hands!

Dongling Luoxi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again: "That makes sense! I was confused by those Diao people! Yun'er, thanks to you!"

Tanglin Guyun bowed: "The sons and daughters don't dare, they should share their worries for their father!"

Dongling Luoxi's eyes flickered, and he asked as if unintentionally, "Yun'er, what about the rumors...... What do you think?"
