After coming out, Shi Jinyan looked at Sima Hongyan thoughtfully, and asked, "What?" What are you thinking? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Through Lan Aoxin's matter, I found that Dongning is not a harmonious atmosphere, it seems that the Lan Shengwen brothers have long been in harmony. The younger brother cuckolded his brother, and secretly gave birth to a daughter for his brother to raise, which man can bear this kind of thing? This also explains why Lan Aoxin has been working against several other countries, she is helping her biological father. Because she knew that Emperor Dongning would not let go of King Hong, and her fate would not be much better, so they were preparing for a rainy day. ”

Shi Jinyan hadn't recovered from the shock just now, she couldn't have imagined that such a bizarre thing could happen in the noble royal family. Suddenly, she felt that Lan Aoxin was very pitiful, the royal family was already cruel and had such an embarrassing thing, no wonder her temper was so strange.

Sima Hongyan thought of a question, couldn't help but feel funny, and said to Shi Jinyan: "You said that twin brothers married twin sisters, is it easy to recognize the wrong husband or daughter-in-law?" ”

Shi Jinyan glanced at Sima Hongyan and said, "This kind of thing will not happen often, it is estimated that it will be like this for hundreds of years." ”

Suddenly, Sima Hongyan had an idea, and said a few words in Shi Jinyan's ear. Shi Jinyan was stunned for a moment, then turned to a happy face, and praised: "This is a good idea!" Then his face turned gloomy, and he said: "It's just that Lan Aoxin is even more pitiful!" ”

"There will be something hateful about the wretched! When we felt sorry for her, she was always thinking about how to kill us. Besides, even if we wronged her, we can save thousands of innocent people and soldiers. It's worth it. Sima Hongyan said with relief.

In the turn of the day, rumors began to spread within Dongning, the content of which was that the current royal harem of Dongning*, the king is not the queen or the queen, and they have fornication with each other, which is unbearable. And the six princesses of the dignified hall are the daughters of King Hong and the queen, and King Hong is even more ambitious and covets the dynasty. On the surface, Dongning is peaceful, but in fact, the inside is already turbulent, and the country is no longer a country.

This rumor spread very quickly, and within a few days, everyone in the streets and alleys knew about it. Originally, the people were disturbed by the war between Yanling and Dongning, and at this time, the scandal of the Dongning royal family was reported, which immediately made the people have serious suspicion and disgust towards the Dongning royal family.

The worries of the people are still secondary, and the key is that this rumor spread to the army, which immediately caused an uproar.

When the world values ancient rituals and rituals more than life, especially the unrighteousness of men and the unfaithfulness of women are the most despised. Now the Dongning army is fighting for the royal family, but the dignitaries of the imperial power who are high and dignified are doing obscene things in private, and even have illegitimate daughters, which suddenly makes the fighting spirit of the Dongning army lose most of it.

The power of rumors is not only that they spread quickly, but more seriously, after the spread of falsehood, the more people will believe, and after the people who are interested in adding oil and vinegar, they will become more noses and eyes, even if the rumors are false, the more people who say it, it will become true.

And there is also the potential influence in the shadows, and that is comparison.

Since the Yanling army attacked the gate of Dongning, the army has been extremely strict, never harassing the people, and is very self-disciplined. Sometimes when seeing the exiled people in Dongning, the Yanling army will also help resettle and give money and food, showing Yanling's way of treating the people.

The legend of the phoenix lord of Yanling has long been spread in Dongning, and Yanling's implementation of the policy of equality of the world, monogamy, and the elimination of the noble and lowly classes is very popular with the people, and these are not possible for the Dongning royal family.

Although hundreds of thousands of years of imperial slavery have made the division of poverty and lowly in the hearts of the people deep-rooted, no one is born willing to be inferior, so the changes in Yanling have always had a subtle effect on the people of the world, making the world yearn for it.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and there were originally a lot of rumors in the Dongning royal family, but this time the rumors that the sixth princess was an illegitimate daughter were categorical and the evidence was conclusive, so many people believed it without questioning it after hearing it. Because this thing is not unusual, with the consistent reputation of the Dongning royal family, it can really do it.

This time, the power of rumors is unprecedentedly huge, and even the emperor's relatives, civil and military officials, and hundreds of civil and military officials are discussing in private, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Seeing that the living evidence was there, they had not seen Lan Shuang and Lan Aoxin once or twice, and they had long been suspicious of this cousin who looked exactly the same, but this time it was openly exposed, and it was difficult to believe it or not.

Now the biggest headache is the four people, that is, Lan Shengwen and Lan Shengwu, two couples, in the face of this sudden rumor, they have nothing to do, and the face of the Dongning royal family completely fell to the ground.

After Princess Hong heard this, she was furious and went into the palace to find her sister to theorize, but the queen was at a loss but refused to admit it. What the truth is, Lan Shengwen knows it, and the doubts of the whole country have made him tired of it, and he can't care about it and don't bother to pay attention to the two sisters crying all day long.

The crisis of confidence made Dongning even more turbulent, and Lan Shengwen used many methods to control the spread of rumors, but his deliberate suppression made people believe in the content of the rumors even more, thinking that the royal family was trying to cover it up.

King Hong was also unaware of the rumors, he strictly ordered the army not to discuss this matter again, and for this reason he also killed a few people who spread the word to set an example, although on the surface no one dared to mention it again, but King Hong found that everyone in the army looked at him strangely.

There is no need to guess that King Hong also knew that this rumor was spread by Sima Hongyan, but he didn't expect Lan Aoxin to fall into the hands of Sima Hongyan and even confess these things, he knew that he shouldn't have told Lan Aoxin about this before, so he wouldn't have caused such a big trouble today.

He was well aware of the impact of the rumors, and his prestige had plummeted in a matter of days. He didn't know what his imperial brother thought of this matter, but he understood that according to his brother's suspicious character, I was afraid that the fake would also become true, not to mention that this matter was originally true!

"Sima Hongyan, you are so despicable!" King Hong had to scold this sentence several times a day. Only Sima Hongyan could think of this kind of bad move, and for this reason, even his own daughter Lan Aoxin, King Hong, hated it.

Above the Dongning court, hundreds of officials began to speak to the emperor, and now the rumors have too much impact on Dongning, and King Hong is no longer suitable to hold power, so they have suggested that the emperor immediately recall King Hong back to the capital, so that he can give an explanation to the people of Dongning.

Hand over? How to explain? Admitting that his brother had an affair with his wife? And an illegitimate daughter? If you admit this, how can you be the emperor of him?

defended his younger brother and helped him dispel the suspicions of the people, but this matter was true, Lan Shengwen felt humiliated and unwilling. If this matter had not been announced, Lan Shengwen felt that he could still bear it, especially the injustice in the world, he was full of ambitions, and he would not lose the overall situation for the sake of a woman.

But if it is rumored to be boiling today, the dignity of the emperor is disgraced, and everyone in the people is pointing fingers at him behind his back, which makes Lan Shengwen unacceptable.

So, under Lan Shengwen's resentment, he killed his younger brother Hong Wang Lan Shengwu!

Two fast horses came from the capital of Dongning, and the fast horses whipped towards the front line, one horse galloped into King Hong's camp, and the other horse ran into Yanling's camp.

Unexpectedly, female soldiers not only have a lot of ability to assassinate in lurk, but even their ability to spread rumors is also extraordinary, and the influence caused by rumors has far exceeded Sima Hongyan's original expectations. At this time, the hearts of the people in Dongning fluctuated, and they all despised the Dongning Dynasty, and Sima Hongyan decided to stand still, wanting to see the reaction of the Dongning Emperor.

And on this day, the messenger of Dongning arrived.

Sima Hongyan did not come forward, and asked Nan Guying to meet the envoy. The envoy didn't say much when he saw Nan Guying, and knew that this was the husband of Lord Yanling Feng, so he directly handed over a secret letter to him, and then didn't stay long, got up and said goodbye and left.

Nan Guying didn't open the secret letter, but handed it to Sima Hongyan instead. Sima Hongyan took it in his hand and weighed it, and said to Nan Guying: "Guess what is written here?" Let's take a guess for each of us. ”

My wife is always a little naughty when she is with her, but this time too, I obviously want to compare to see who can guess accurately. Nan Guying smiled and said: "I guess it's asking for Lan Aoxin's paperwork, the rumors have already caused them a lot of trouble, and they need Lan Aoxin to break the rumors." ”

Sima Hongyan shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm different from what you guessed. I think it should be the document that Lan Shengwen came to negotiate peace! ”

Nan Guying said: "Peace? I don't think it's very likely, we have already entered the country of Dongning, and the grudge between our two sides is also deep, how can we make peace if we want to? If Lan Shengwen made this suggestion, then he would be a little stupid. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Nothing is impossible, it just depends on whether the price paid is big enough." I guess Lan Shengwen must have put all his previous grudges on King Hong, and he himself was completely kept in the dark and didn't know anything. ”

Nan Guying sneered, "Does he think we are fools? To deceive us with such a non-level lie. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "It's not all lies, half and half." As he spoke, he opened the secret letter.

After reading it in detail, he handed it to Nan Guying. After Nan Guying saw it, he said indifferently: "You guessed it right again this time!" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "After the envoy left this morning, the female soldier sent a message that there was also a fast horse from the capital that went to King Hong. Let's guess what this horse came to King Hong for. ”

Nan Guying thought for a while and said, "Summoning King Hong back to Beijing!" Sima Hongyan approached and hugged Nan Guying's neck, and said with a smile: "This time we both think the same!" ”

With a loud bang, King Hong angrily slapped the holy decree on the table, and asked the messenger of the decree: "What does the emperor mean by this?" Let this king return to Beijing immediately, don't you care about the Yanling people who hit the door of the house? ”

The envoy was obviously a little jealous of King Hong's anger, and he knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "The prince is angry! The emperor is annoyed by the rumors all over the city, this matter is related to the reputation of the prince and the queen, and the emperor invited the prince to return to Beijing in order to have an explanation for the rumors that cover the sky! ”

"Confess what?" King Hong was angry and asked, "The rumors stop at the wise!" Doesn't the emperor understand this truth? The more the king explained, the more inexplicable he became. How much more is it that a group of common people spread falsehood, so why should the king explain it to them? ”

The messenger said, "What the prince said is true. However, the prince didn't know anything, and if only the people listened to it, it would not be worrying. However, it is said that the major aristocratic families in the capital also have a lot of complaints about this matter, and the hundred officials continue to play and turn every day, all because of this matter. If the prince does not return to Beijing to show his face, the emperor may not be able to step down. ”

King Hong was silent, and he secretly speculated in his heart about the true intention of the imperial brother to let him go back.
