Chapter 255: Famine
Murong Sheng's crown prince canonization ceremony finally ushered in after many days, during which Chen Xiaoxiao was so nervous that she couldn't eat or sleep.
She accompanied Murong Sheng to recite the sacrificial texts all day long, and she also memorized it herself, and she was as nervous as if she was canonized.
Even though Murong Sheng told Chen Xiaoxiao many times that he had finished memorizing, he still couldn't put Chen Xiaoxiao at ease, and pulled him to recite it over and over again the day before the canonization ceremony.
The ceremony was also in Chen Xiaoxiao's anxiety and ended as scheduled.
However, on the second day, the whole court was shocked, and there was a famine in the southwest for more than a month.
All of a sudden, rumors spread everywhere, all of which criticized Murong Sheng, no one dared to say it openly, but many people muttered in private.
Some people even say that it is because of the establishment of the reserve that there will be a famine in the southwest.
Anyway, all kinds of rumors spread among the people, and they didn't dare to say anything on the surface, and the discussion was hot behind the scenes.
On that day, in the corner of the silk noodle shop, two people were discussing hotly, as if they were selfless and had no scruples.
One of the two is a scholar in Tsing Yi and a white fan, and the other is a son-in-law in a fancy costume, and I don't know what caused the two to mix together.
Brother Gongzi said excitedly, I don't know if my brain was pumped or what's wrong, and threw the wine glass on the wine table, "If you don't have an accident sooner, if you don't have an accident later, if you have an accident when you are crowned prince, it must be a disaster brought by him, what else can it be, let me tell you, I have long seen that this prince is a disaster." ”
The scholar in Tsing Yi couldn't imagine that this brainless boy would shout about this matter in a grand manner, he looked around, and the surrounding picture seemed to freeze the frame, the noodle restaurant that was still lively just now is now silent.
He stepped forward and tried to cover the mouth of the boy, but how could the drunk boy's brother cooperate, he vigorously pushed the scholar in Tsing Yi away.
"What are you doing!" Brother Gongzi angrily scolded the scholar in Tsing Yi, and almost fell down because of too big movements, he shook his head and shouted loudly: "I said, what's the matter, he is a disaster star, if it is not him, why is there a famine for a prince, according to me, such a disaster star should be ·······"
Before he could finish speaking, the man had been kicked out, and the harazi fell like a silver thread.
When the people in the noodle shop saw Murong Chen with a cold face, they sat down on the ground in fright, and their sharp eyes shouted, "Yes, it's His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." ”
The scholar in Tsing Yi was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and his feet were like soft bones, and he couldn't support himself and knelt on the ground.
Brother Gongzi was kicked and got up arrogantly, "Which one is not fatal, dare to kick Lao Tzu······"
The rest of the words were stuck in Brother Gongzi's throat, and he was instantly dumbfounded, and most of the wine woke up, "Seven, Seven, Your Highness!" ”
Murong Chen's thin chest, because of the slander and rumors of these two people, was so angry that he felt like his lungs were going to explode.
"Repeat what you just said!"
Brother Gongzi knelt down with a bang, his face turned pale, "The villain, the villain is drunk and talks nonsense, begging the Seven Palaces to surrender." ”
Murong Chen squinted dangerously, he approached the boy brother and sneered: "You can only spit out the truth after drinking, isn't it?" Respect the prince of the north. ”
The eyes of the people in the noodle shop are about to bulge, and they can't take a step at this time.
Chu Fengwei, the prince of Jingbei, was like a thunderbolt from the sky, at this time, except for kowtowing, he didn't think of any other way to eliminate the anger of the Seventh Highness, let alone turn back time.
The scholar in Tsing Yi wanted to sneak away quietly when Murong Chen questioned Chu Fengwei, but was forced back by Rong Guying with a sword around his neck.
Murong Chen was extremely angry, he looked at the person who knelt on the ground, his heart ached, and his body trembled, "Your conscience has been eaten by dogs, my imperial brother, I have been fighting on the battlefield for several years, without him, where did you come from your current peace, the army has long been driven in, can you still scold my imperial brother here for being a disaster?" ”
"My imperial brother has a sincere heart, led the army to fight for several years, and gathered less and more with the family in the house, so far, there is only one daughter under his knees, who has found food and printing for you, and what about you?"
The people present, no one dared to raise their heads and look at Murong Chen, they didn't have Chu Fengwei to speak energetically, but they also whispered it in private.
"Because of this incident, you wantonly slandered my imperial brother, is the natural disaster the cause of man? If so, then you are the disaster star, cholera in the world, and you have chilled my imperial brother's heart for the country and the people with that leisurely mouth. ”
Murong Chen pulled out his sword, and the cold spike pointed directly at Chu Fengwei.
"Brother Rong." Murong Chen shouted at Rong Guying, "Hold him down!" ”
Rong Guying nodded, he let go of the scholar in Tsing Yi and grabbed Chu Fengwei instead.
Chu Fengwei's eyes widened, "Your Highness the Seventh, spare your life." Seven Highnesses! ”
Murong Chen sneered, "Spare your life? When you slandered my royal brother, did you show mercy? ”
Chu Fengwei was terrified, especially when he saw that the sword blade was getting closer and closer to him, he couldn't control it, and his body was wet.
Everyone didn't dare to look at it anymore, but they smelled a smell of urine, and Murong Chen looked down to see that it was Chu Fengwei who peed his pants.
He rolled his eyes and sneered: "You are so daring, you dare to speak ill of my imperial brother, do you think that I will let you go?" Dream! ”
Murong Chen wanted to make a move, but was held by a person, "Seventh Highness, slow down!" ”
He looked back and saw that it was the owner of the silk noodle restaurant, "Does the boss have anything to do with this person?" ”
The owner of the silk noodle shop shook his head, "It's okay, it's just that the grass people don't want you to be too impulsive and cause trouble when the time comes, after all, he is Jingbei Hou Shizi, so let's hand it over to the government to deal with." ”
Murong Chen glanced deeply at the owner of the silk noodle restaurant, and he pushed him away vigorously, "Don't meddle in it." ”
When the words fell, Murong Chen's sword had already swung over, and blood splattered all over the ground in an instant.
Chu Fengwei's lower lip and tongue were all picked open by Murong Chen's sword, and his tongue flew to the door frame and fell straight down.
Chu Fengwei couldn't scream even if he wanted to, because of the pain, he fainted on the spot.
The owner of the noodle shop choked in his throat at what he was about to say, and his mind was dizzy with fear from the scene in front of him.
Rong Guying threw Chu Fengwei away with a look of disgust, and he wiped the blood on his face.
"Murder! Killed! ”
The timid people couldn't help but cry out, and they were frightened by Murong Chen's eyes.
Rong Guying found out that something was wrong at this time, and he said to Murong Chen: "Your Highness, that scholar is gone!" ”
"Not good! Pursue! ”
Murong Chen immediately took the sword and chased it out, followed by Rong Guying.
As soon as he left, the people in the noodle shop immediately dispersed and fled for their lives.
The owner of the silk noodle restaurant, looking at the scene in the store, was heartbroken, and he sighed, "I didn't stop it after all!" I wasn't stupid just now! ”
Xiao Er's legs trembled, "Shopkeeper, how, what should I do?" ”
The owner of the Noodle Shop looked dark, and said angrily: "What else can I do!" Report to the officer! ”
