Chapter 50: Rumors in the capital

East Plant.

"Dugong, rumors are spreading in the capital, and rumors about the emperor are everywhere, look, do you want to..."

A eunuch made a cruel gesture with his knife.

Fan Ting's face was gloomy, if it weren't for the emperor's explanation when he left, he couldn't help but kill.

Hearing this, he said: "Don't bother with it, let them make trouble, keep an eye on our family, and wait for the emperor to return to Beijing, he has his own plans." ”

Since leaving Beijing with the army of Zhu Houzhao, the capital has not been born in peace, gossip, bad words and slander, those people who read do not know who instigated them, and they jumped out to make a fuss again, this time they learned to be smart, just wantonly attacked in restaurants and teahouses.

Every day, there are people pointing fingers at Yang Tinghe outside the palace, saying vicious words, writing insulting words on the three old car drivers, and some famous Confucians even come to the door in person to "visit" them to accuse them of being vain ministers, just watching the emperor mess around.

Mu monkey and crown, small kills, big is misguided country, I don't know how many, you can't advise the monarch, you can't govern the country in peace, what kind of face do you have to be a minister.

The people don't know the truth, the people are the same, the capital has changed into a rumor, the grass and trees are all soldiers, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Jingzhao Mansion can only watch, what can they do, is it not a disservice to arrest those people?

Mu Bin is even more troubled, every day just looking at the news sent by the secret guards, he has a headache, these people are full of food, and they are going to die, he is a person who understands His Majesty's temperament, if the news reaches Datong, His Majesty still doesn't know how to be angry.

The most odious thing is that there has been no news from the real murderer, and Yan Song's guy doesn't know what he is eating, and there is no news yet.

In fact, this one is related to Zhu Houzhao himself, when he asked Kong Shangyi to collect business taxes in the name of Qufu, he persuaded the book to collect commercial taxes, all of which had already laid the root of the bane, and the news of Kong Shangyi's disappearance in the capital had already reached Qufu, until someone brought a letter to Yan Shenggong and asked him to be more interesting, His Majesty was unhappy, and he knew that his son was in the hands of His Majesty.

Yan Shenggong was unhappy at this time, but he was forced by the emperor's obscenity, so he had to compromise temporarily, and it was important to keep his son first, while in the name of Confucius, he played the Son of Heaven openly, and secretly went to contact the great Confucian celebrities in various places, and entered Beijing to ask for the people's life, why did His Majesty want to compete with the people for profit?

After they arrived in the capital, the emperor had already led his troops out of Beijing, and now that the so-called Confucian celebrities had a better excuse, so the turmoil arose, and even the old things when Zhu Houzhao was the prince in the East Palace were turned over.

Anyway, the ugly hatred was justified at first, but then it was completely conjectured, and the people who didn't know the truth also followed the foolishness, is the emperor really what they say?

Half a month has passed, there has been no news from Datong Mansion, the capital is panicked, some people say wildly that the emperor will undoubtedly lose this battle, and take the stalk of Tumubao to quote the scriptures, saying that the Son of Heaven is after Yingzong, and the danger of the Ming Dynasty is at hand.

Even the palace was not at peace, the queen mother, the queen mother heard the gossip, the queen mother fell ill in anger, and after the queen mother Zhang ordered the cane to kill several tongue-in-cheek eunuchs and palace maids, the palace was temporarily quiet.

In fact, these people are all arranged, some are loyal to the emperor, and naturally some sing the right game, but when Zhu Houzhao was there, he could still live in town, and now that no one else is in the capital, these cows, ghosts, snakes and gods naturally jumped out and made the wind and rain.

Especially the Hanlin Academy Guozijian is the most jumping, they are also the closest to Qufu, secondly, it is the Guozi Supervisor, one is the spokesperson of Confucianism, the other is a Confucian protégé, the person in the secret is just a sentence, they spare no effort to run around to preach.

The undercurrent was surging, and when Fan Ting and Mu Bin started this conspiracy, they collectively chose to remain silent, and only sent secret guards to investigate the news, to find out who was behind the scenes, and to return the capital to peace before the Son of Heaven returned to Beijing.

What happened to the war in Datong, there was no news at all, even if they wanted to come forward to clarify, there was no way to convince others, so they had to follow the emperor's explanation of going out of Beijing, and did not dare to act rashly.

A team of cavalry messengers from the direction of Datong to report the victory passed through the state all the way, and Pegasus entered Beijing to report the victory, and they were about to arrive in the capital.

There are villains around the emperor who are treacherous and bewitched, the emperor is ambitious and talented, the emperor is arrogant and extravagant, the emperor competes with the people for profit, the Son of Heaven does not listen to dissuasion, acts willfully, belittles and reprimands the ministers, causing Wang Qiong to vomit blood and be angry to death!!

In short, the root cause of all disasters is the incompetence of Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

The secret guards gritted their teeth and listened to these false news, what is the emperor, can they not know, do you guys know what Your Majesty has done better than us, and when Your Majesty returns to Beijing, we will see if you die one by one.

The auspicious days that Empress Dowager Zhang was optimistic about were postponed, because the emperor was no longer there, and he was still a fart, and coupled with the troubles in the palace, he was even more mindless, and even the three elders took turns to be on duty in the imperial cabinet in order to avoid the so-called Confucianism, and began to get up in the middle of the night, and his body collapsed again, and his expression was tired every day, and he was no longer as ruddy as when Zhu Houzhao was in Beijing.

It's finally coming to an end.

The sky will be bright, the city gate of the capital will be opened, on the official road in the distance, there is a sudden sound of eager hooves, looking at the smoke and dust, there are still a lot of them, rushing towards the city gate, the officers and soldiers guarding the city are sleepy-eyed, it seems that they have not yet woken up, and they are frightened by the sound, and most of them are awake.

There were soldiers on the tower of the city looking out and shouting; "There's movement, close the gates, an unknown number of cavalry are rushing in this direction."

The people who were waiting outside the city to enter Beijing also jumped for a while, and these days, the gossip in the capital made them all a little worried, could it be that the Tatars outside the gate called?

The alarm bell on the city tower rang suddenly, and before they had time to react, the cavalry had already arrived outside the city, and these saw clearly, this was the Yuling messenger, which was used by the imperial court to transmit news, and there was a team of two hundred cavalry behind, looking at the black armor that was different from the Beijing camp, it seemed to be the exclusive armor of the Iron Eagle Guard, especially the weapons on their backs, all of which showed their identity.

I saw the messenger of Yuling shouting: "Great victory ~ Great victory ~ Datong defeated the Tatars in a battle outside the city, the Duoyan Sanwei coalition army totaled 130,000, the leaders of the Duoyan Sanwei were all killed, 90,000 enemies were killed, Dayan fled with the remnants of 40,000 defeated soldiers, and the emperor personally conquered Datong and won a great victory!! ”

Wow!!!

Finally someone reacted, Yuling messenger, Pegasus reported the victory, this must be sent back to the capital by the emperor, if they are blocked from entering the city, it is a capital crime.

The cavalry followed the Yuling messenger and shouted victory, and passed through the state all the way without the slightest pause, this is a privilege, even if they are the first assistant of the court, they can't block their way, otherwise they will collide with the Yuling messenger, which is also a felony.

"Open the gates, quick."
