Chapter 230: The Canyon Disappears
After coming to visit Ye Shuyun for a while, the Queen Mother got up and left.
Seeing the Queen Mother's back disappear into the vast night, Chu Xuanting breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced at "Ye Shuyun" lightly, "You can go, always remember your identity these days, don't make any mistakes." ”
Ye Shuyun heard the threat in Chu Xuanting's words, and she also knew what Chu Xuanting meant, so she hurriedly knelt down and said repeatedly: "Yes, the slave knows." ”
Then, "Ye Shuyun" hurriedly retreated.
Chu Xuanting glanced at the back of the palace maid who had fled into the wilderness, and was a little melancholy.
At this time, you should still get the real Ye Shuyun back as soon as possible, paper can't contain the fire.
The next day, Chu Xuanting, who had no intention of reviewing the folds, waited for the guard who replied to his news again, and as soon as he saw the guard, he hurriedly stood up: "How is it, have you found Ye Shuyun?" ”
The guards looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
The canyon was too big and too deep, and they didn't find Ye Shuyun.
"Your Majesty, please mourn and change, the queen may have died."
"Impossible!" Chu Xuanting threw the fold on the ground, "My Ye Shuyun won't die so easily, hurry up and find it for me until I find Ye Shuyun." ”
A guard wanted to oppose Chu Xuanting's order, he stepped forward and was about to speak, but was stopped by another guard beside him, "My subordinates will definitely do their best to help Your Majesty find the empress." ”
Chu Xuanting waved his hand tiredly, "You guys hurry up and set off to find Ye Shuyun for me!" ”
The guards replied in unison, "Yes." ”
Then they all retreated.
A group of guards didn't find Ye Shuyun, Chu Xuanting's first thought was that there were too few people looking for Ye Shuyun, and the canyon was too big, and it was not easy to find someone in such a big valley.
Therefore, Chu Xuanting sent almost all the guards in the entire palace out to find Ye Shuyun's whereabouts.
Batch after batch of guards entered and exited the canyon, but none of them could get any news about Ye Shuyun.
The guards came over again to report, "Your Majesty, my subordinates have recently discovered that some people have entered the canyon to pick medicines. ”
Chu Xuanting's heart, which had been calm for the past two days, made waves again, he raised his eyes to look at the guards, his eyes lit up, "Fence me the canyon where Ye Shuyun fell off the cliff, and not a single mosquito can be released until I find Ye Shuyun." ”
The guard raised his head in astonishment, glanced at Chu Xuanting in disbelief, then lowered his head and arched his hand: "Please think twice, Your Majesty, if you surround the canyon, maybe it will attract the attention of the people." ”
Chu Xuanting, who was looking through the recitals, threw it on the table fiercely, "But if you don't stop them, how can you find Ye Shuyun as soon as possible!" ”
The guard's mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, he secretly glanced at Chu Xuanting, and then quickly lowered his head, "Yes, the subordinates obey the order." ”
Subsequently, the guards who had been ordered by Chu Xuanting immediately surrounded the entire canyon.
The trees in the canyon were lush and green, and they were full of greenery at a glance, and Chu Xuanting's guards were shuttling among them.
However, outside the canyon, there were many people watching and watching, and groups of people also wanted to enter the canyon to join in the fun, but they were expelled by the officers and soldiers guarding outside.
These civilians bypassed the officers and soldiers to enter the canyon to see what was going on inside, but after going around for a long time, they found that the officers and soldiers were very well guarded. Not to mention them, not even a fly can get in.
Someone reported to Chu Xuanting again, saying that Chu Xuanting's large-scale encirclement of the canyon caused speculation among the people, and many people thought that there were treasures in the canyon and that the imperial court wanted to take it for themselves, so they surrounded the canyon and did not allow the people to approach.
Chu Xuanting, who couldn't find Ye Shuyun for several days, was a little impatient, and waved his hand, "Tell them that this is a rumor, and if you spread such remarks again, you will be killed." ”
"But......" the guards hesitated, "this rumor has been convinced by many people, and it is no longer just a rumor. If you want to kill, I am afraid that it will cause your majesty's court to lose the support of the people. ”
And Chu Xuanting had only just ascended the throne, so he couldn't do that.
Can't kill, can't kill, of course Chu Xuanting knows that these people can't be killed, but they want to enter the canyon again and again, and he can't find Ye Shuyun as soon as possible.
"Send more officers and soldiers to guard the canyon for me, no one can enter, and if anyone dares to spread rumors again, he will be arrested."
The guards retreated in response and continued to enter the canyon to search for Ye Shuyun's whereabouts, and the sky near the canyon was also changing little by little, and the influence was spreading little by little, even spreading to the capital.
Chu Xuanting's move of ordering heavy troops to guard the canyon made the people even more suspicious, if there was no treasure, why did he guard the entire canyon so tightly?
Therefore, the more Chu Xuanting sent a large army to guard it, the more the people suspected that there was an indescribable amount of treasure inside, otherwise why would Chu Xuanting guard them like a wolf?
The guards kept watch for several days, and for several days the people could not enter the canyon, collect medicine or fish, and rumors about the treasures in the canyon were spreading more and more, and more and more people stopped outside the canyon every day to dig up treasures.
Finally, the people did not resist the impulse in their hearts, dozens of people rushed to the entrance of the canyon in the early morning of one day, the officers and soldiers were shocked, and hurriedly brought people to stop the people, but there were too many people who broke in, they couldn't stop them at all, although they tried their best to stop them, but they still accidentally put a few people in.
Someone quickly ran back to the palace to report to Chu Xuanting, and when Chu Xuanting heard the news, he said a little angrily: "In the future, the mob who dares to break in at will be killed!" Those who break in, if they are caught, they will be killed! ”
The guard who ran back to report was shocked again, he looked at Chu Xuanting in disbelief, what did Chu Xuanting say just now, did he want to behead those people?
The guard, who felt that something was wrong, immediately pleaded: "Please think twice, if you blindly kill the people, I am afraid it will cause resentment among the people......"
Chu Xuanting was very impatient with the guard's plea, he frowned and glared at the guard, and said, "Are you the emperor or am I the emperor?" ”
It's just that he can't find Ye Shuyun now, and even the people have come to make trouble for him.
Chu Xuanting was obviously angry like this, the guards originally wanted to continue to dissuade Chu Xuanting, but he quietly raised his head, then lowered his head again, and hurriedly retreated after answering the yes.
The guards did not follow Chu Xuanting's will to kill those people, but directly asked people to arrest those people and put them on death row.
After sending the people away, another guard asked puzzledly, "Didn't Your Majesty say that you would kill all these people?" Why did you just put them on death row. ”
The guard sighed helplessly, "Your Majesty is angry now, Your Majesty was originally anxious about finding Ye Shuyun, and now these people are spreading rumors that there are treasures in the canyon, isn't this obviously causing trouble for Your Majesty?" If you really kill the people as Your Majesty said, I am afraid that Your Majesty will lose the hearts of the people, so it is better not to mention it, and wait for Your Majesty to calm down before asking whether to kill it, which will not only teach the people a lesson, but also relieve Your Majesty's anger. ”
The king at the top, the people at the bottom, and their guards are hard to do!
However, Chu Xuanting still underestimated the impact of the matter.
Hearing that some people had been put on death row, and hearing that Chu Xuanting was already furious and wanted to kill them, the people's hearts began to be impetuous.
Some people even began to oppose Chu Xuanting, they said that Chu Xuanting was no longer suitable to be an emperor by killing people like this, and asked to rebel against Chu Xuanting's rule.
Because of Chu Xuanting's will, it has caused a lot of influence in the government and the opposition, and it didn't take long for the news of the people's restlessness to reach Chu Xuanting's ears, if Ye Shuyun is not found again, Chu Xuanting may be regarded as a tyrant and pushed off the throne.
For this situation, Chu Xuanting was anxious, but fortunately, a guard made a suggestion at this time.
"Your Majesty, we might as well say that there is danger in the canyon......"
On the third day when the people were locked up by Chu Xuanting's guards, the situation changed again.
Something was finally delivered from the canyon, and when the people heard the news, they hurried over to watch, thinking it was a supreme wealth, but they didn't expect that it was actually dozens of assassins dressed in black and masked with knives.
"Captain, what's going on?"
The people were a little confused when they saw this scene, didn't they say that there was wealth hidden here? Why are people and not wealth being escorted out?
A few of the people who were bold and friendly with the guards began to ask the guards they knew about what had happened.
The guard touched his nose and explained matter-of-factly: "That's the case, Your Majesty and the Empress were playing in the canyon a few days ago, but they were accidentally assassinated, fortunately, the guards arrived in time to save Your Majesty and the Queen, Your Majesty investigated the details of these assassins, and found that these assassins had also assassinated the court officials and people, so let us exterminate these assassins in time." ”
Therefore, Chu Xuanting did not allow the people to enter the canyon not because there was any wealth in the canyon, but because there were still many assassins dormant in the canyon, if the people entered the canyon, it would be dangerous, and it was very likely that they would become hostages of the assassins, and it was also very likely that they would die at the hands of the assassins.
So, in the blink of an eye, Chu Xuanting's image has undergone a big change.
The tyrant a few days ago suddenly became the king of the people's hearts.
Because Chu Xuanting's actions moved the people, those rumors that were unfavorable to Chu Xuanting quickly disappeared.
In the past, Chu Xuanting's actions disappointed them, everyone said that Chu Xuanting was an out-and-out tyrant, but now everyone said that Chu Xuanting was an excellent Ming monarch, and everything he did was for the sake of the people.
Chu Xuanting's troubles were finally suppressed.
