Chapter 65: Rumors Begin
The first month is full of festivities, and Yufu is also red, dotted with lanterns and red silk, so that the winter desertion has faded a lot.
It wasn't until the end of the first month that Yao ordered people to take down the lanterns and clean the Songhe Courtyard and Xingyun Courtyard again to welcome the coming early spring.
Recently, the capital has been particularly lively.
In addition to the dragon and lion dances to welcome the New Year, there were also two shocking rumors, which added a lot of after-dinner conversation to the casual people.
By the time the two gossips reached Yu Can's ears, it was the first day of February.
She sat in front of the dressing mirror, looked at the pear tree who conveyed the news to her in surprise, and said: "It is normal for the Queen Mother to choose the princess of Jinning County for the king of Jinning County, but this second gossip is too ...... It's so bizarre. ”
Li Shao nodded, and said matter-of-factly: "Isn't it! I don't know who it came from, but it is said that not only the capital, but also the frontier have spread. ”
Taozhi sighed and said sadly: "What should the soldiers guarding the border pass think when they hear about this kind of thing?" The intentions of those who spread this word are truly sinister. ”
Li Shao looked outside the door, saw that there was no one around, and lowered his voice and said, "Who can say for sure whether it is true or false?" If it really ......, "Even if there was no one else in the room, she still didn't dare to say it all."
Yu Can didn't answer, but he was thinking in his heart that this rumor would definitely make them uncomfortable when it reached the ears of Zhenguo Gong and the eldest princess of Huiyang.
The emperor was dissatisfied with Jing Feng's high achievements, and secretly sent people to intercept and kill the Jing family's army, intending to make the Jing family a last-ditch.
Such information may seem unbelievable, but it makes people think deeply.
The Jing family has three generals and has great achievements, not only in the frontier, but in the entire Dayan. Everyone who practices martial arts admires the Jing family, and they don't want to join the Jing family.
is different from the reckless man who protects the country and the Fu family, Jing Fengyang is strong in martial arts, uses soldiers like a god, is brave and strategic, and is a rare god general in the world.
It seems that the Jing family's bloodline is unusual, in short, the sons and daughters of the family are all brave and good at fighting, and no one has ever been called useless.
The two foreign feudal kings are entrenched in the northwest and northeast, and the north is adjacent to the Mi country, and the entire north has always been an important place for the imperial court to use troops, but the soldiers there are united towards the Jing family and the wind towards the scenery.
Can the emperor really tolerate the dominance of the Jing family and let Jing Feng rise to fame?
The Jing family is indeed loyal for generations, Jing Fengyang's wife is still the eldest princess of Huiyang, but just like this, can she get the emperor's unreserved trust?
Now that the great disaster of the country has been eliminated, the strength of the two vassal kings is not strong, and the existence of the Jing family will inevitably become a thorn in the emperor's heart.
If you make up your mind to pull out this thorn, it is obviously the quickest and easiest way to ambush and intercept it under the pretext of the remnants of the people.
The coldness of the emperor has always been terrifying, not to mention that the birds are hidden, and the rabbit and the dog are cooked has been a practice since ancient times.
The most important thing is that Fan Wanli, the remnant of the captured Mi people, refused to admit it, saying that the Mi army would rather fight head-on with the Jing family army to the death, and would never let people set up an ambush in secret.
The remnant leaders who were arrested with him all said the same thing.
These Mi people are connected to each other, but they are not part of the accomplices, they have different revenge missions, and each leads their own team of killers to infiltrate the capital.
Each of the captured teams confessed to the crimes they had committed in Dayan, and also confided in the team's mission and contact information. But no one recognized the interception and killing of Jing Jiajun.
A group of people who are destined to die, there is no need to conceal a crime, from the perspective of the people, if they really intercept and kill the Jing family, it will still be an earth-shattering achievement.
If it were the remnants of the people, they would have preached it to all people.
So when the rumors came out, not only the common people, but even the important ministers in the army and the DPRK gradually became suspicious.
"If this is true, the eldest princess and the prince of Zhenguo will definitely not give up." Peach Branch is slightly bolder than Pear Tree, and with only the three masters and servants in the room, she doesn't have so many taboos. "It's going to be messed up!"
If the eldest princess and Jing Yan had to discuss the truth with the emperor, no matter what the final result was, it would not be beneficial to either of them at all.
If the mother and son pretend not to know and do not pursue the truth, firstly, they will leave a reputation of greedy for glory and cowardice, which will affect Jing Yan's prestige in the army, and secondly, they will still be secretly noted by the emperor, because not asking often means acquiescence.
No matter how you choose, it is easy to have a dislike with the emperor, whether the rumors are true or not, the damage has already been done.
Yu Can didn't know if it was the emperor who assassinated Jing Jiajun, and she didn't know if the eldest princess and Jing Yan would believe it, she had always been ignorant of these things.
But she knew one thing, that is, the life of the eldest princess and the Zhenguo Gong Mansion must be difficult, and the flower-viewing banquet the day after tomorrow will be canceled if it is not good.
"Let's go, let's go to Songhein Temple first." Yu Can silently retracted his mind and stopped guessing about those complicated things. She didn't care if the flower viewing banquet was open or not, but some of them were not worth it for the Jing family and the eldest princess.
Because she instinctively believed that those Mi people really didn't do anything, and ninety percent of the people who killed the Jing family army were Dayan's own people. Maybe it's the emperor, maybe it's the queen mother, maybe it's other people who hate the Jing family and the eldest princess......
Thinking of this, Yu Can only felt a chill down his spine.
"Is the girl cold?" Sensing her shiver, Pear Tree hurriedly shoved the hand stove into her hand. "Hold it quickly, it's the easiest time to catch a cold."
Yu Can sensed the temperature in her hand, and the stiffness in her body disappeared suddenly, she shook her head and didn't want to think about it anymore, and walked towards Songhe Courtyard with two maids.
Yu Zhiyuan and Yu Shuo went out early in the morning, Yao and Yu Can'an quietly finished breakfast, and went to the main courtyard together to greet the old lady.
When the old lady was in a bad mood, she would take the initiative to send someone to stop the mother and daughter from saying goodbye, so as not to hear them talk so angry that her brain hurt. If there is no one to stop it, it means that the mood is not bad.
Sure enough, as soon as the mother and daughter stepped into the main house, they heard the old lady's rare laughter.
"Hahaha, good boy, you're still sensible."
When Yu Can heard this, he thought that his second cousin Yu Qifeng was inside, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw that in addition to his four sisters and two aunts, there was only one girl he didn't recognize.
The girl was wearing a royal blue placket, and the lower body was a half-worn skirt, and the colors and materials looked a little outdated. She was holding a single screw bun and a golden hairpin with a complicated style, which was a little inconsistent with the whole outfit.
Yu Can glanced at it a few times and suddenly remembered that she had seen this golden hairpin on the old lady's head.
This surprised her, I don't know which mountain fairy girl in front of her is, she can be appreciated by the old lady, and she also got a golden hairpin.
As soon as the girl turned around, she revealed a barely delicate face, and looked at Yao and Yu Can with envy in her eyes.
When the old lady saw their mother and daughter, her face sank slightly, but she was still much more relaxed than usual: "Qiaohui, this is your eldest cousin and eldest cousin." ”
The old lady waited for her to see the courtesy, and then said to Yao and Yu Can: "This is my niece and granddaughter Qiaohui, who will accompany me as a companion in the future, what do you think?" ”
