Rumors arose in Bianliang City, which directly involved the emperor's reputation, and if he didn't know about it as an envoy of the imperial city, it would be a great dereliction of duty.

Since the beginning of the rumors, before the whole city knew about it, Zhao Zheng received a report.

It's just trying to stop the rumors, but it's a little difficult. Some people deliberately spread it and deliberately exaggerated it, but it became known to the whole city in one day, and with a group of secret agents from the Imperial City Division, it was impossible to stop it.

Since this is the case, then simply ignore it, Zhao Zheng knows very well that Wu Tingzuo of Kaifeng Mansion is more anxious than himself.

In contrast, it should be the responsibility of Kaifeng Mansion to quell rumors, especially to slander the emperor's reputation, if he does not deal with it, he will not be able to explain it at all.

The Imperial City Division's responsibilities should be more to investigate the origins of the rumors, find the people involved, and determine what might have happened. If there is no wind and no waves, rumors will not rise in vain, and it is certain that someone will spread them.

And it is a rumor that slanders the emperor's reputation, it is even more difficult, could it be a prelude to someone's bad intentions? Is there any conspiracy next?

It is the duty of the Imperial City Division to find out these things and guard against them.

In this regard, Zhao Zheng did not dare to take it lightly, as for Zhao Kuangyin, he must be able to understand. Even if the emperor was angry, he would definitely not be directed at himself......

He shouldn't be angry, Zhao Zheng felt that with his understanding of Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor's cultivation was not bad.

Therefore, he did not enter the palace like Zhao Guangyi to make a special trip to report, but only sent the news into the Vertical Arch Hall with a routine secret performance, and he was more focused on the rumors themselves.

Who would spread such rumors?

If you talk about motivation alone, there are too many possibilities, but when it comes to the content of the rumor itself. He knew the situation on the night of the Chen Qiao Mutiny, especially what happened in the Dingli Courtyard, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

There are many people who know the details of the night of the Chenqiao Mutiny, but there are not many people in the Dingli Courtyard who witnessed it. The Zhao family will definitely not talk nonsense, and Chu Zhaofu is naturally not a big mouth. Most of the monks and soldiers who participated that night did not know the details, and they were all warned by repeated orders.

Unless none of them want to live, no one will say it. And these people are under close surveillance, and the possibility of leaks is almost zero.

In this way, the biggest suspect is naturally Han Wei, who also has this motive, which is reasonable. Of course, it is also possible that the camel told others about the situation of the day, and someone deliberately made a fuss about it.

Alas, I knew that it would not be smooth sailing to become royalty. And now the problem has arisen. Zhao Kuangyin had to be damaged by his wisdom, and even criticized, few people in the world would believe that this time, the emperor was indeed wronged.

Damn rumor-mongers!

When Zhao Zheng hated, his intuition was even more convinced that the hunchback that appeared in the Han Mansion on Chinese New Year's Eve was Han Wei himself. This kid is back, and he's making waves.

Zhao Zheng even thought that many suspicions of Shi Shouxin's assassination might also be related to him. Or related to the people behind him.

A lost dog who is being chased and hiding in Tibet will not have such great energy, there must be someone in Bianliang City who is in the same stream as him, and this person is the ghost he wants to catch.

There is no trace of this ghost at present, but the ghost has been found on the camel's side. It might be a good break to follow him.

Therefore, Zhao Zheng focused on Han Wei, wanting to find many ghosts with the help of this hunchback......

"Fifth Prince, our people have been closely watching. Knowing where the camel is located, should you arrest it immediately? Li Yuan hated Han Weiduo and caused him and Zhao Zheng a lot of trouble when he was in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Now I would love to capture him sooner.

Zhao Zheng pondered for a moment, shook his head lightly and said: "Don't be in a hurry, if you catch him now, you will only catch a dead person, which is useless, but will startle the snake." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand!" Li Yuan's biggest advantage is that he has strong execution, as long as it is Zhao Zheng's orders, he will carry it out to the end.

……

Sometimes it's not difficult to find a last resort, but things don't always work out of your mind.

Zhao Zheng planned to spy secretly, quietly open a breakthrough from the camel, see who he was dealing with, and then discover the clues of the people behind the scenes.

However, when the secret agent of the Imperial City Division was acting, there was a slight negligence, perhaps Han Wei noticed something, this guy suddenly lost any activity, and stayed in that small courtyard every day and didn't go anywhere.

This result surprised Zhao Zheng a little, and the established plan was suddenly disrupted......

What did Han Wei discover? Deliberately quiet? Or is he really inactive lately and in a quiet period? Is this stalemate allowed to continue? Or do you want to act now?

The stalemate, will the mastermind behind the scenes find out about the abnormality and immediately cut off the connection between Yiqiē and Han Wei?

If he acted immediately, how many things did Han Wei master, and how much could he say? What I'm most afraid of is that he doesn't notice it, and it will be troublesome to make a fuss.

Especially if he didn't confirm Han Wei's appearance positively, Zhao Zheng was very worried that someone had set up a game for himself to lure him into the trap. It is precisely because of this that they dare not act rashly more and more.

The camel suddenly became a hot potato, and it was not thrown or caught......

……

With the rumors spreading in Bianliang City, sensitive people have noticed the abnormality, and some people have even sensed that the Great Song Dynasty may make waves again.

The rumors involved the Chen Qiao Mutiny, so everyone who participated that night was quite nervous, at least they paid special attention to the matter. Shi Shouxin is one of them, and he also has a feeling of being deceived.

Opening the city gate that night to meet Zhao Kuangyin can be said to be a mistake and a choice to take advantage of the situation. That night, the principle of his work was to know the current affairs as a handsome man.

Zhao Kuangyin's army arrived at the city, and the appearance of Han Tong in the city was really average, and he had a close relationship with Zhao Kuangyin on weekdays, so it was the best choice to open the city gate and be a minister of the dragon.

If Han Tong could control the situation in the city that night, and there would be no more interfering news and rhetoric, perhaps he would be a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In matters related to life and death, it is not possible to stick a knife in the ribs of a brother if you have a good relationship, but also to judge the situation and choose the current affairs.

Moreover, their generals of the forbidden army also had other thoughts. The Lord Shaoguo doubts, how can a group of generals with heavy troops settle down? It's strange that I didn't think about it.

But when it comes to rebellion, no one wants to stick out that head first and take that risk. Wealth and danger are sought, that being said, if you really want to gamble on your life and the whole family, few people dare to be so calm.

When Zhao Kuangyin "risked the disapproval of the world", most of them had the intention of using Zhao Kuangyin to tempt, and a certain Cheng Dù regarded him as the spokesperson of the "Ten Brothers of the Righteous Society". opened the city gate and welcomed Zhao Kuangyin into the city, and he Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi also had this consideration.

Relatively speaking, Zhao Kuangyin gives them the feeling that they are relatively tolerant and benevolent, and it is easy to get along! But when the brother becomes a monarch and a minister, there is a change in one qiē.

After the rumors spread in the past few days, Shi Shouxin was suddenly shocked, what he said was good, but Zhao Zheng's existence was difficult to explain. It makes sense to say that Zhao Kuangyin deliberately plotted to rebel and placed his family in Dingli Yuan. But Zhao Kuangyin kept saying that he was supported by the soldiers and had no choice but to ......

They didn't care if this kind of thing was true or not, but Shi Shouxin clearly remembered that Zhao Kuangyin did not notify them in advance to help open the city gate. Even later, it was said that the mutiny was improvised......

Now that I think about it, Zhao Kuangyin doesn't seem to be telling the truth, it's really ...... Hypocrisy!

The rumors are good, Zhao Kuangyin is indeed doing one thing and saying another, which is not the same. If it was in the past, Shi Shouxin might not have cared too much, and it was not surprising that he did so when he was the emperor.

But when you feel a strong sense of urgency, it's completely different. Especially after Zhao Yanhui and Zhang Lingduo's reasonable analysis, he was even more worried.

Thinking of Zhao Kuangyin's "hypocrisy", Shi Shouxin felt that what they said was right, and taking himself on the expedition was not necessarily reused, but perhaps more beware!

Now is the time to be on guard, what about the coming day? Could it be the one-and-done solution? Thinking of Zhao Kuangyin's smile on weekdays, Shi Shou's confidence had a sense of disgust for no reason, who knew if the emperor was hiding a knife in his smile?

If it just stays at this step, what really makes Shi Shou panic is some of the news he heard.

High-ranking ministers and generals, or deep-rooted powerful families, have their own news channels, and many hidden information can be found more or less.

The family, high-ranking officials and dignitaries are very concerned about this, sometimes just a few words, or a sporadic signal, contains great opportunities, and sometimes there is hidden information that can save lives, so no one dares to take it lightly.

The same is true of the Shi family, as the commander of the palace, the envoy of the German army, the first military general below the emperor, and he has a concern for any wind and grass. In the court, they have a lot of eyes and ears of the Shi family, and they have their manpower in various yamen, and even in various prisons in Bianliang.

In addition to temples and officialdom, for the people in the market, they usually do not let go. Every household has access to a trading house, or is connected to a figure such as a local snake in the city, and has some information and resources. The Shi family is a Taixing firm, and while doing business, it also inquires about the news for the Shi family and does some things.

And if it is not related to the life and death of the family, or the news of the development opportunities, most of them will communicate with each other.

With such a huge network of information, it can be said that it is difficult to hide any clues and troubles from them. In the past two days, Shi Shouxin heard the rumor that Zhao Zheng of the Imperial City Division was investigating himself, as if someone in the Yicheng Army was involved in the case of the assassination of the emperor in November......
