Afterwards, Yang Yue, together with Zhang Wei, Wang Shao and others, immediately issued a strict order to seal the news of the wedding scene, and once it was found that there was a leak of the news, it would be immediately punished; There are rumors in the market who are punished for plotting rebellion.

Although the government took various measures to prevent the truth of the matter from spreading among the people, it could not stop people's strong curiosity about this bizarre event, and within three days, in the Luli Shops inside and outside the city of Bingzhou, there were various versions of gossip about the extraordinary wedding of King Jin, and the people who spread these news also added many legendary and mythical footnotes to everything that happened at this wedding according to their own imagination.

Among these versions of rumors, the one that spreads the most widely and most talked about by the common people is the one that is most unfavorable to An Ruoxi.

In this version, An Ruoxi is depicted as a banshee lurking next to Yang Guang, the king of Jin, since Yang Guang left Chang'an more than half a year ago, out of the town and state, this banshee has accompanied the king of Jin, using all kinds of hand beards, foxes, and bewitching the king of Jin. When she learned that the emperor and her mother sent Princess Houliang to Bingzhou to marry the King of Jin, she wanted to take advantage of the day when the King of Jin and the princess got married. Fortunately, her whereabouts were discovered by the gods in time, and at the scene of the wedding between the King of Jin and Princess Houliang, she first warned with celestial phenomena, and then sent heavenly soldiers to kill this demon girl and clear the scourge around King Jin......

At the same time, there is also a rumor that is extremely unfavorable to Xiao E: Hou Liang wanted to plot against the Great Sui, so he sent such an unlucky princess to marry the king of Jin, and some gods outside the world wanted to stop this marriage, so they sent a wrestler to the wedding scene to assassinate the demon princess, but only stabbed a maid and one of the king's guards. Although the assassination of Lux was unsuccessful, it woke up the King of Jin, so that since the two got married, the King of Jin deliberately snubbed the princess of Houliang and insisted on refusing to enter the cave room with her......

When these strange rumors began to spread quietly among the people, Yang Yue, who had been ordered to send off his relatives, had left Bingzhou in frustration and returned to Chang'an to ask Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo for their guilt. And Yang Guang, Xiao E, and An Ruoxi, who are the three protagonists in various rumors, still don't know anything about it.

It wasn't until Li Hun returned from Youzhou half a month later, met Yang Guang, and truthfully reported to him that Youzhou, which was hundreds of miles away from Bingzhou, and there were all kinds of rumors about the wedding scene of the King of Jin, that Yang Guang began to be vigilant that although the open war between the Great Sui and the Turks was temporarily over, the Turkic Kehe Dun Yuwen Panruo never stopped the attempt to subvert the Great Sui and restore her Yuwen clan.

From the various rumors that Li Hun reported to him, it can be clearly seen that behind these rumors, there is an invisible hand secretly manipulating all this. Whether it is unfavorable to An Ruoxi or making a fuss about Xiao E's name, it is by no means unintentional by ordinary people.

In response to Yuwen Prajna's secret troubles, Yang Guangjing consulted with Zhang Wei, Wang Shao and others, and decided to turn the blockage into a sparse situation, and immediately began to build Buddhist temples and re-advocate Buddhism in the prefectures under the rule of Hebei Province, so as to gradually offset the influence of the various rumors spread among the people by the Turks secretly instigated and spread among the people.

Li Hun was assigned by Yang Guang as early as three months ago to go to Bohai County to find out the truth of the grievances between Luo Yi and the Feng family, because he arrived in Bohai County not long after, the situation inside and outside the pass has undergone great changes, with the Yanmen Pass, the Sui Dynasty and the Turkic war broke out again, the remnants of Gao Baoning, who was originally defeated by Yang Shuang's army in Yingzhou, were entangled with thousands of soldiers and horses, intending to make trouble in Liaodong and drive the Sui army back to the south of Linyu Pass. On the order of Yang Shuang, it was Li Hun's third brother Li Zhen who led the army to stay in Yingzhou, and he received a report that the remnants of the family Haoyou and Gao Baoning in the Bohai and Dingzhou areas of Guannei were secretly colluding and wanted to do wrong, so he wrote to Yang Guang, requesting that Li Hun stay in Youzhou for the time being, and cooperate with him to eliminate the traitors and stabilize the situation in Youzhou. After Yang Guang received the letter, he remembered that Li Hun was a close confidant he had brought to Hebei, and he had him cooperate with his brother Li Zhen in Youzhou to eliminate the remnants of the enemy. Appeased the place, and he could fully support Yang Shuang's Northern Expedition, so he agreed to Li Zhen's request.

As the war outside Yanmen Pass ended after the two countries made concessions to each other, the brothers Li Zhen and Li Hun cooperated with each other inside and outside the Linyu Pass in the east, and although they did not eliminate internal traitors and foreign enemies, they basically ensured the stability of the situation in the eastern states. Only then did Li Hun bid farewell to his brother and returned to Bingzhou to see Yang Guang for his life.

Li Hun returned to Bingzhou, in addition to reporting to Yang Guang about the various rumors about his and Xiao E's wedding based on what he had seen and heard recently, and focusing on the relevant situation of the Hebei family that he had learned in Youzhou and other places in the past three months.

According to Li Hunyu's report, the Hebei family can be roughly divided into two categories, one is represented by the Fanyang Lu family and the Zhaojun Li family, this kind of family has a long history, most of them have gone through hundreds of years, and have accumulated strict door rules and high prestige from generation to generation, and the ethnic group is self-contained, which is not easily affected by the change of dynasties; The second type of family is most representative of Bohai County, where the Feng family is located. Bohai County's family, the county is the first to bear the brunt of the Feng family represented by Feng Longzhi, but the former Qi royal family of the Gao family, this kind of family than the first type of family, the history of the formation of the gate valve is much shorter, its influence is often limited to a state and a county, and most of the talents produced by its disciples are limited to a time, in terms of Gao Huan's Gao family, it is thanks to Gao Huan created the former Qi forty or fifty years ago, the Gao family was able to flourish and grow, and quickly developed into the leading family in Hebei. Its influence even surpasses that of Fanyang Lu and Zhaojun Li.

The situation of Feng Longzhi's Feng clan is similar to Gao's, Li Hun rushed to Bohai County to visit and learned that three months ago, dozens of wealthy families from the prefectures under the rule of Hebei Province gathered and merged with the state, and came to Yang Guangsuo to return the domestic slaves who were privately conscripted into the army.

Feng Longzhi himself had been the prince of the former Qi Dynasty, and had a close relationship with the Gao family, coupled with his concubine's fornication with the customer Luo Yi, and then because the woman tried her best to prevent Luo Yi from enlisting in the army, she was killed by Luo Yi in a rage, Feng Longzhi wanted to avenge his concubine, so he agreed to be the leader.

There are also big contradictions between the old and new families, for example, the rumors about Yang Guang's wedding this time are almost impossible to hear the people discussing this matter in private in Fanyang, Zhaojun and other prefectures and counties, while in Bohai, Dingzhou and other places, they are widely spread. According to Yang Guang's guess, Li Hun secretly instigated and spread these rumors by the Turks, and further inferred that the emerging families represented by the Gao family and the Feng family were likely to maintain secret contact with the Turks.
