Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 170 The interpretation of rumors

Lin Cunde was thinking about how to break the situation if the civil servant insisted on keeping an eye on him. Rumors were only one aspect, but if the civil servant would rather lose his reputation and the rumors pulled Wang Ying down, what should he do?

Lin Cunde saw that Xiaozhi was still standing here, so he said to Xiaozhi: "Go back and rest first. It will be too late later. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Wang Zhi nodded after hearing what Lin Cunde said.

In fact, I was still a little worried inside. Originally, my father had won the battle, and I had been relieved of my worries these days. But now, those civil servants spread rumors about my father. Fortunately, my second brother-in-law was in the capital, otherwise, I would have been in chaos. It's too late to stand still.

Lin Cunde sat in the study and started making tea, thinking about what he should do if the civil servant continued to bite his tongue.

Do we really want to tear them all apart? What should His Majesty do then? It would not be good for Zhu Qiyu to break up with civil servants.

Still need to think of other ways.

"The Supreme Emperor!" Lin Cunde thought of Zhu Qizhen and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. There is something to be said about this.

The generals had said before that the battle of Tumubao was not that simple. Chen Xun also said similar things.

If this rumor is spread, it will probably make the people in the entire capital hate those civil servants to the bone, right? They said that Wang Ying hoped that the Supreme Emperor would die, but it was the civil servants who wished that the Supreme Emperor would die!

"Okay, I hope everyone will stop it when they see fit, but don't let me let this rumor out. If it gets out, the people in the capital will be eager to tear up those civil servants.

How many people died in the capital and the surrounding areas?

The third battalion of the capital was originally from the areas near the capital, as well as the horsemen and the soldiers who died in the defense of the capital. In addition, before, Wala besieged the capital and burned, killed and looted outside the capital, but many of the people who suffered were also dead. Many common people.

If the defeat of Tumubao is entirely blamed on the civil servants, it is estimated that many people in the capital secretly committed evil acts.

Three people in his family lost their lives because of this incident.

Lin Cunde made up his mind. If they still persisted, they would spread the rumor and see who would suffer the most losses in the end.

Thinking of this, Lin Cunde could only shake his head with a wry smile.

The next day, after Lin Cunde woke up, Lin Cunyi came in and said excitedly to Lin Cunde: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, you don't know, the capital is very lively today!"

"Huh?" Lin Cunde turned to look at Lin Cunyi, but he hadn't reacted yet.

"Do you know? Chen Xun, who came to our house before, has a woman outside, and this woman is having an affair with his eldest son!" Lin Cunyi said to Lin Cuunde excitedly.

When Lin Cunde heard this, he laughed. Wasn't this what he concocted?

However, Lin Cunde still smiled and asked: "Where did this news come from?"

"The whole capital is discussing this matter. I heard that someone posted papers, all of which were secrets of the cabinet family. Moreover, some people saw Chen Xun carrying a child to buy candy! Also, someone's Relatives gave Chen Xun's woman ten thousand taels to buy a county magistrate!" Lin Cunyi sat down and said to Lin Cuunde mysteriously.

"Ah?" When Lin Cunde heard this, he thought, this, this was not concocted by himself. He didn't write this, but the common people started to interpret it?

"Also, does Shang Renqin know that the young official in the cabinet became very arrogant after hearing that he entered the cabinet? He has many corruption methods, many people give money, and his family also has a lot of land! So, This time the Ministry of War wanted to reorganize the army, and Shang Ren was the first to object, because he was afraid that the reorganization would shake him out!" Lin Cunyi continued, and Lin Cuunde also smiled after hearing this.

The news that Lin Cunyi brought back next interested Lin Cunde. The rumors he had spread were made even more exciting after being interpreted and added to by the common people.

The cabinet ministers who are on duty in the cabinet are not aware of the rumors outside. After all, they are coming over early in the morning.

Today, there are more than thirty memorials. Those who impeach Wang Ying are all impeaching Wang Ying for deliberately failing to protect Ye Xian's son and brother, putting the Supreme Emperor in danger and committing injustice to His Majesty. The memorial also requests that Zhu Qiyu be allowed to They sent people to escort Wang Ying back without mentioning that Wang Ying fought a victorious battle on the front line.

Chen Xun looked at those memorials and was very satisfied. This was the effect he wanted.

Several other cabinet ministers also chuckled. What's the point of Wang Ying being able to win the battle? As long as you make mistakes, people like you will have to punish you.

Zhu Qiyu was very angry at the moment. After seeing these memorials, Zhu Qiyu knew what was going on, but if you really want to be angry at the cabinet ministers and the six ministers, it will be useless.

After all, those who wrote the memorial are all petty officials. If you punish them, things will get worse. But if you don’t punish them, they will get angry. If you don’t give them any approval, they might They will go to Fengtian Gate and kneel down to petition. If you don’t agree, they will dare to kneel down and die in order to clear their name!

Cheng Jing saw Zhu Qiyu throwing some memorials on the floor in the imperial study room. The eunuchs in charge of the ceremony were all standing with their waists hunched over in fear.

Cheng Jing walked in, raised his hands to Zhu Qiyu and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang Zhi wants to see you!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu glanced at Cheng Jing, and then shouted to the ceremonial supervisor who was standing not far away: "Pack it up. !”

Then he walked towards the tea table, and at the same time said to Cheng Jing who was following behind him: "How is Xiaozhi now?"

"It's okay!" Cheng Jing could only answer with his head lowered.

"After cleaning up, let Xiaozhi come in!" Zhu Qiyu walked to the tea table and started brewing tea.

When Cheng Jing heard this, he immediately went to the back to help clean up the memorials. Zhu Qiyu was still dark-faced at this moment, and he hated those civil servants in his heart, especially those who wrote the memorials. He cannot kill them now, but he must register these lists. It’s clear, we’ll deal with it one by one when the time comes!

After Cheng Jing helped clean up the memorials on the ground, he went out and brought Xiaozhi in after a while.

When Xiaozhi saw that there were so many people here, he was a little afraid to take out the piece of paper Lin Cunde gave him last night.

Because this morning, he also secretly listened to the rumor. There were already many versions of the rumor. Xiaozhi was stunned when he heard it, and he admired Lin Cunde, his brother-in-law, even more.

Now is it time to give those ministers a headache?

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" Wang Zhi quickly walked over and saluted Zhu Qiyu with his hands raised.

"Well, Xiaozhi, come and sit down! Come, brother-in-law has made tea for you!" Zhu Qiyu also had a smile on his face at this moment, not wanting Xiaozhi to see him looking worried.

"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you!" Wang Zhi looked at the number of people around him and could only say cautiously.

"Huh?" Zhu Qiyu glanced at Wang Zhi and found that Wang Zhi was looking at the father-in-law around him.

"Get out, all get out!" How could Zhu Qiyu not understand? He immediately waved his hand and signaled all the father-in-laws to get out.

Soon, the father-in-laws went out. Wang Zhi took out the piece of paper written by Lin Cunde last night from his arms. This was the original manuscript of the rumor. Today, Wang Zhi took Jiang Zhongyi and the three of them to see what they had posted. It was all torn apart, but the rumor had spread.

"Eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law wrote this, and asked me to bring it here for you to read. Now there are many rumors spreading about my father, saying that my father Sima Zhao's heart is known to all passers-by. He deliberately killed Ye Xian's son and Brother, I want to use Ye Xian's hand to get rid of the Supreme Emperor and frame His Majesty for injustice!" Wang Zhi said and handed over the note.

"Yes! I know!" Zhu Qiyu nodded. How could Zhu Qiyu not know about the rumors outside? Jin Yiwei is not a low-income person.

Zhu Qiyu took the note and looked at what was written on it. His eyes widened involuntarily, and he looked up at Wang Zhi.

"It's fake, brother-in-law, it's fake!" Wang Zhi quickly explained. The expression was similar to what he saw last night.

"Fake?" Zhu Qiyu still looked at Wang Zhi in disbelief. Why did he fake it for himself?

"Eldest brother-in-law, yesterday I went to the second brother-in-law's house to discuss the rumors about my father. The second brother-in-law wrote this, and then I invited three people to post these rumors all over the city. Today, hehe, today, today, There are various versions, anyway, they are even more exciting than what is written above!" Wang Zhi couldn't help laughing when he said this. The imagination of the people is very powerful, especially those in teahouses, with all kinds of There is news.

Moreover, Wang Zhi saw a scholar with his own eyes. After listening in this teahouse, he went to another teahouse to add fuel to the fire. Moreover, Wang Zhi almost couldn't hold back his laughter as if he had seen it with his own eyes!

"What's the use of your second brother-in-law writing this?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Zhi in confusion and asked.

"I don't know, anyway, the second brother-in-law just wrote it, and then told me to come over and give these to the eldest brother-in-law, so that the eldest brother-in-law can feel confident!" Wang Zhi shook his head and said. He didn't know that Wang Zhi did this. What are the benefits.

"Okay, I understand, but Xiaozhi, Cunde told you how to solve the father-in-law's matter?" Zhu Qiyu didn't understand why Lin Cunde wrote these rumors at all, and he didn't know what the use was.

"I don't know, anyway, my brother-in-law wrote this after the rumor came out yesterday!" Wang Zhi said, pointing to the paper in Zhu Qiyu's hand.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but frown, is this possible? Now those ministers have submitted a memorial, insisting on impeaching Wang Ying. He has not thought of a way to appease him. Is it just based on this rumor? It doesn’t make sense!

Rumors are just rumors and cannot be taken as true.

"Okay, I know! If there is a way in Cunde, come and tell the eldest brother-in-law!" Zhu Qiyu could only throw the piece of paper into the charcoal fire next to it and burn it directly. This kind of rumor is still Don't be seen as good.

"Yes, eldest brother-in-law, Your Majesty, where is dad?" Wang Zhi couldn't help but look at Zhu Qiyu worriedly and asked.

Seeing Xiaozhi looking at him so worriedly, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but force a smile and said: "Don't worry, the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law are here, it's okay!"
