Chapter 774: Gossip
For most of the next half month, Qi Hanxuan and the civil and military officials of the imperial court were still busy.
The floods in the southern region will not recede, and it is not a long-term solution for the people to stay in the flood control areas, so it is necessary to discuss a strategy to deal with it as soon as possible.
However, the regional disasters descended from heaven are not the same as other disasters, the heavy rain does not stop, the floods naturally cannot recede, and the imperial court can only be helpless.
At this time, the people did not know who deliberately took advantage of the flood disaster to make trouble, and rumors spread that God had brought this catastrophe all because of the discord between the emperor's brothers today.
What's more, there are rumors that the eldest prince is not wrong at all, and everything is a conspiracy of the emperor.
That's why God can't get used to the emperor, and uses this flood disaster to punish Fengling Kingdom.
When the rumors first entered the imperial study, Qi Hanxuan was neither annoyed nor angry, and directly issued an order to Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Send spies to hide in the crowd, and once they find that there are rumors spreading, they are directly arrested and put in prison.
As long as they take the lead in the crowd, the rumors will never stop, and the people will be taken advantage of by these people due to natural disasters to stand opposite him.
Therefore, the only way to stop the rumors is to catch the rumors, if there are no such people, will there still be people in the capital who walk around the rumors?
The common people are not brainless people, and if the rumors slowly dissipate and are not confirmed, they will understand that this is simply nonsense, and then the rumors will be self-defeating.
Moreover, those people dare to spread rumors that are not good for him, is it possible that he will not spread them?
Sitting on the dragon chair in the imperial study, Qi Hanxuan looked at the backs of the ministers who had withdrawn, and the ink color in his eyes became more and more intense.
It seems that the punishment for that person is still too light, otherwise how could anyone dare to use him to slander him?
However, no matter who is behind the scenes, he will find them out one by one and get rid of them!
He would never allow it, there were still those people in the capital who were going to be unfavorable to him at all times, and he had waited so long for them to finally show their heads.
Qi Hanxuan's index finger tapped on the table, his eyes burst with a ruthless and wise light, the rumor should be just a small means for them.
Their big tactics are still to come, and he wants to see what else they can use against him!
No matter what they use, he is not afraid!
He wanted to see who could bring him down!
Thinking of this, the corners of his lips slowly hooked, and he was silent for a while, then lowered his head and continued to deal with the folds.
On the second day after the order was given, the spies, dressed as civilians, hid among the crowded.
Their eyes were glued to the vicinity, catching the figure of the rumor-monger closely.
The crowd was still talking about the floods in the southern region, and the people were happily discussing.
Suddenly, I saw a small and dark man sneaking into the crowd from one side, waving his hand to let everyone listen to him.
The common people suddenly fell silent.
only listened to the rumors that he walked loudly, his face was extremely arrogant, and everything he said was the emperor's wrong.
Seeing the person, the spy eyes lit up, and unconsciously slowly approached him.
Until he stood behind him, glanced at his companion next to him, and rushed directly to catch him, there was a frightened cry in the crowd, I don't know what mistake he made and was caught.
The spy said loudly, "Those who spread rumors and demagogues will be put in prison!" ”
Ignoring his struggles, they tied him to a rope and sent him to prison.
For several days, they had been waiting in the capital, and finally captured nearly ten rumor-mongers.
It's a pity that they were all bought and not the real leaders at all, so the real rumors are still hiding in the shadows and haven't been caught.
However, all the gossip in the capital slowly disappeared.
