Chapter 119: rumor


The first rays of morning light cast onto the magnificent walls.
At the south gate of the capital, the twelve soldiers of the Wucheng Warrior Division joined forces to push open the heavy wooden gate, and the sides of the gate immediately became lively. The bustling crowd kept coming and going.
Many businesses and travellers are carrying bags and rushing to the carriages, some are rushing to the city, others are going out of the city.
The two long lines were like long chains, moving slowly in opposite directions.
The weather was a bit hot, and Ye Kuang still had a dozen Nan Chenshizis in the procession out of the city.
They all came to rush to take the test. They were frightened by the turmoil in Beijing and determined to return home in advance.
Those who choose to return home also account for the vast majority of Nan Chenshizi. Only a handful of daring and willing to stay.
Out of the city, the cool wind blew head-on, as if the weather had cooled down.
The group was all children of the Nan Chen family. Although the host only had more than twenty, there were hundreds of servant book boys in the service, plus dozens of big cars loaded with luggage, and the entire team could not see at all.
The steward was driving the servants, and dozens of scholars came together in small groups, talking about gossip.
"It's quite smooth to go out of town. Haven't seen how to check?"
"Brother Li was sent back last time, not to say that the truth has been ascertained and he will not be disturbed anymore."
"Well, maybe I should leave it for a try. I think the court's meaning is mainly to appease. Maybe this scholar will be more biased towards us south." A chunky scholar wiped the sweat from his forehead And some regrets.
"It was cheaper for Zhang Zizheng them." Another scholar also regretted it, thinking about the classmates who took risks to stay in Beijing.
"Come on, although Brother Li was sent back last time, he really suffered a lot. The people in Pingxiying were as bad as wolves. They were all wounded. Fortunately, they were transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs without torture."
"Isn't it? I heard that Brother Li was still trembling and terrified. He even trembled when he heard someone passing by. He would scream from time to time in his sleep at night. The whole person's spirit was not right. "
"It's also his bad luck. Whoever got in touch with a rebel and ate at the same table."
"Then we can guarantee good luck? While the war has not yet begun, hurry up the road, nowhere is safer than at home."
"Well, the home may not be safe. The taxes in General Zhennan ’s government have become heavier these years. Now that the war has begun, we must add a few percent. When is this day?"
Several people were silent and moved along.
The party went further and further, and gradually the walls of the capital were invisible.
Into a lush forest, with mountains and stones on both sides. A round-faced scholar couldn't help laughing, "The forest is dense, the road is narrow, and in terms of art of war, this is a good place to ambush."
The companion laughed: "Who would come to ambush our group of scholars who are powerless and chicken-bound, less poor, hurry up."
Farther and farther from the capital, the atmosphere also relaxed, and the team moved forward slowly.

Seeing the team passing through the lane below, standing on the top of the mountain, Cui Xi Shi Shiran looked back.
He turned to look at the uninvited guest on one side, and laughed, "So, are you satisfied with Deputy Commander?"
Ren Jinglei was respectful and bowed down: "Thank you General Cui for your generosity."
Cui Yun's eyes flashed a cold color. Today he took a person. He originally planned to cut off the group of Nan Chenshizis, and searched and tortured one by one. Be sure to find out the love letter. The soldiers rushed up.
Ren Jinglei took people, set up Pei Yan's banner, and gently and firmly demanded that he sell his face.
"Please look at General Pei's face, and don't do this on the site of my Perak camp. Otherwise, things will not look good in the middle of the DPRK." Ren Jinglei spread his arms, helpless.
The southbound road through Nanyingfang is indeed barely regarded as the site of Perak Camp.
Cui Wei looked at the eight hundred elite soldiers behind Ren Jinglei, but had to put aside the idea of ​​hands-on. He didn't want to be too noticeable, he didn't take many people with him on this trip.
"I did not expect General Pei to take care of these Nan Chenshizis. As far as I know, Nan Chen hated General Pei so much." Cui Yan smiled.
Pei Yue was the number one hero who captured Nan Chen that year, and in the eyes of Nan Chen's widows and wives, he was naturally the number one enemy. They don't have the kind of respect for heroes in Beishuo. I heard that there are some older generations in the Nan Chen family, especially those who have received Nan Chen Huang En, and when they brought up Pei Yue, they still wanted to swallow their bones and eat blood.
"Now that the DPRK is seeking stability, how can it delay major events because of personal grievances?" Ren Jinglei looked serious.
"You can put it down." Cui Yan said with a smile.
After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Do you know the origin of the guard named Fang Yuan beside the emperor?"
"Is a foreign minister able to put a beak on the matter of Miyazaki." Ren Jinglei shook his head seriously.
"Well, you mouth, you know you can't ask anything."
Cui Wei smiled and approached Ren Jinglei.
"Remember, I don't want to give the face of others. Since it's you, it's fine."
While talking, he raised his hands and patted Ren Jinglei's shoulders, and smoothed out the tassel spikes hanging down from his chest.
Close to Ren Jinglei's ears, Xiaoyingying said: "If one day you do not have a good time with General Pei, you can come to me in the same place and keep it for your comfort."
"Thank you, General Cui can look down." Ren Jinglei didn't move under his feet, and returned with a calm fist.
Cui Wei smiled and turned away.
Zema ran down the mountain. The lieutenant next to him whispered, "Leader, let's go?"
"What else can you do?" Cui Yan snorted coldly.
"But in case that instrument ..."
"Everyone's gone, where's the paperwork?"
The deputy thinks about it right. Most of Nan Chen's disciples are out of town now. If the documents are on these people, they must find that they can't find the way.
"Keep an eye on the rest of the people, let's talk about the wind and grass," Cui Yan said coldly. Although the love letter was a thorn in his heart, it was not fatal.
But the slaughter of some Nanchen Cantonese parties. Can the emperor really use this reason to blame him for failing?
Now Nan Chen backs up, messes up the party everywhere, but cuts off the enemy in advance.
After staying on the mountain for a few more minutes, when the spies confirmed, Cui Wei and his party returned to the capital, and it was impossible to make a U-turn. Ren Jinglei led the crowd to leave.
Cui Wei was more polite to him, just because he was sympathetic. Ren Jinglei's father, Ren Duo, was also a member of the army that year. After the fall of Cheshire, he transferred to a civilian post and served as a local official. As a result, the counterattack Nan Chen Bingma broke through the city gate and the whole family was killed. Only the young Ren Jinglei hid in the pool and escaped. After that, Pei Yi counterattacked, rescued him, and brought him back to his side to raise him.
Therefore, although the Perak camp and the Pingxi camp are not very harmonious, Cui Wei is quite gentle on Ren Jinglei. It is also because of this, that Pei Yue sent him out for a trip.
Otherwise, with Cui Wei's temperament, it is very likely that he will have a hard temper, regardless of rushing to death with soldiers and horses.
Anyway, his bloodline is noble, and there is a queen mother in the background, and any blame can be reduced to small things.
Ren Jinglei sighed. Recently, in the Perak camp, what was laid on his head was all hard work ...
Qin Nuo also found that what was recently laid on his head was all labor-intensive work!
First of all, what happened to the Southern Army, Chen love letter gave him a heavy blow. Afterwards, the secret agents of Qianlin Division were interviewed secretly, and all the clues showed that there was nothing exaggerated in the love letter. The real situation is even better than ever. After all, the love letters were written by the family gatekeepers, and many rewards were given after the big week. The southern army did not dare to search too much. To the civilians who had nowhere to go, the Southern Army's intimidation was even more brutal.
Not only this one, but also the news that Dongbo just sent.
About the previous glass chip. Sure enough, it was stolen from the tomb of Emperor Jing Yao, not many of them were stolen, but the craftsmen who built the tomb of Qin Nuo before thought it was easy. But a hunter in a nearby mountain village.
He stumbled into the tomb from a crack.
crack? Jing Yaodi's tomb was built for more than ten years, and was recently completed. It was just closed. How could cracks appear?
Qin Nuo was almost speechless. He temporarily pressed the news and instructed the people in Qianlin Division to find someone with construction experience and investigate carefully what went wrong.
If the natural terrain changes. Find someone to fix it as soon as possible, and try to minimize the impact of things.
When building the tombs, some officials cut corners. Well, Qin Nuo, who is such a big corruption case, will not be softhearted.
After ordering things, Qin Nuo was relieved.
At this time, the North Koreans were intricate, and Qin Nuo did not put the change of the tomb first.
But I don't know how soon this incident will stir up a violent storm.
Now he has a headache is the situation in Nan Chen's hometown. What I was worried about has come true! The rebellion broke out in Laian in the east of Nanchen, and the local family echoed the little court in the south.
Laian is a southern port. It was originally under the control of Nanchen's residual forces. It was not captured by the southern army until midway and was included in the territory of Da Zhou. After years of fighting, the southern army suffered heavy losses. After controlling this place, it retaliated to weaken the power of local giants and martial arts, further deepening hatred. Today, the small court in the south sent troops to counterattack, winning steadily. Ryan was officially kicked off.
After the Ryan rebellion, rebellions broke out in three consecutive states and counties, with different scales and successes, but all behaved exactly the same.
Among them, the riots and chaos that broke out in central Cannes were the most noticeable. Kangcheng is a major town in the middle of South Chen. It is located on the north-south transportation and water transportation hub. On the 28th day of the march in Uli, an officer belonging to South Chen secretly contacted the remaining forces and wanted to take the city gate by night Open, this official position is not high, but it happens to be in the Shing Mun Department. At the same time, the 5,000 elite soldiers sent by Nan Chen lurked along the waterway to the small woods outside the city, waiting for the inside and the outside to meet, and broke the city in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, the on-duty patrol soldier was alert and found that the gate was open late at night, and immediately sent someone to check it. As a result, the patrol soldiers of this squad were immediately killed by Nan Chen soldiers sneaking in outside the city, but also caused a commotion and alarmed the city guards.
The news that Nan Chen Bingfeng was approaching had already arrived. The local officer had ordered the soldiers to be more vigilant. Hearing the news immediately dispatched soldiers to resist. In a battle, because Nan Chen sneaked into too few soldiers, he had to retreat. Kangcheng was preserved, but the local officials in the surrounding cities almost became a frightened bird, and they were even more crowded out of the Nanchen officials in the official ranks.
But Nan Chen Guishun for many years, and many local officials have served as local gentry. Such behavior will only further intensify the contradictions.
Qin Nuo looked at the newspaper and was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Governing the world has never been easy. He must be calm.
In Qin Nuojiu's dedication and efforts to turn the tide, the news of defeat seemed to have wings and quickly blossomed on the ground of Nanchen. Of course, it will not produce good results.
The news spread to Beijing, and the successive rebellions and successive defeats also caused the Beijing people to sweep away the previous contempt for the Nanchen Disabled Party, and they have become more dignified than ever.
All sorts of rumors are flowing. After the Emperor Chen Chen became effective in Wuli Kingdom, he learned the art of witchcraft from Wuli Kingdom.
The witchcraft of those Uli kingdoms is extremely powerful. As long as the Southern Army meets them, various conditions will occur, whether it is abdominal pain or dizziness, and it may even become dementia and let it be hacked.
There are also continuous rebellions, all because of the deceitfulness of Wu Liguo's magic, allowing the officials who had originally served to obediently obey their orders ...
All kinds of rumors spread in a mess.
But among these chaotic news, there is another kind of speech that is particularly prominent.
It is the weakness of the imperial court that will cause the rebellion to run rampant!
Adhering to this view, most of them are scholars of some cultures, so when it comes to questions, the truth is right.
"Right now ..." People in the market did not dare to speak directly to the emperor, but just pointed with their hands to heaven, and everyone knew it.
"I used to be famous for being stupid. Later, after being sealed, I also dealt with some humble activities of wine making all day long, and I like to compete with the people for profit, and I am proficient in eating, drinking, and playing. Of course, being an idle prince of the imperial clan is naturally excellent, but he has become an ......
"It doesn't matter if you are too peaceful, oh, now the chaos in the south can reveal its original shape ..."
This argument is eloquent, and the end-to-end title is even more inscrutable, and immediately occupies a large position in the public opinion circles in Beijing.
Accompanying this remark, there is another arguing.
"This chaotic situation, the Southern Army is afraid that it can't be cleaned up, but it is better to ask General Pei to come forward. With his leader, the Southern Remnant Party, what kind of evil witchcraft, chop melon and cut vegetables."
"Just now, can you use General Pei?"
"The loyal ministers and good generals also need to match Ming Jun. It is still necessary for the emperor to have General Pei first."
The emperor said that naturally is Emperor Jing Yao.
"Well, it's all against the king's rebellion. The royal family was swept away, otherwise it wouldn't be the turn ..." At the end of the topic, there was always someone who was sighing.
"Shh, don't say it, die!" In the end, it will end with this sentence.
When the secret report was delivered to Qin Nuo, Dongbo thought he would be angry.
The southern army was so corrupted, after all, it was because the court was lazy and negligent in the administration of Emperor Jing Yao before, and the killing of Pingxiying was because Qin Cong blindly condoned his beloved people and put Cui Yi in the past for credit.
Now the crisis broke out after Qin Nuo's ascension, and it became his fault.
Surprisingly, Qin Nuo just smiled bitterly.
The civilian population cannot be expected to have too much political consciousness, especially in this age of backward communication and information.
The people would only see that when Emperor Jing Yao was in the battle, all battles were won. Nan Chen's grain and jewellery were continuously transported to Beijing. Qin Cong's reign was short, and it was barely smooth sailing.
Soon after he ascended the throne, he went up and down.
What he cares about is Pei Wei who has been repeatedly mentioned in rumors.
Is it an ordinary person's idea, or is it someone who contributes?
If speaking of ordinary minds, the emperor would have heard of such rumors, and he would certainly have troubled Pei Yixin. The pot was carried on his own, but all the hope was pinned on another person.
Even when Qin Nuo heard it for the first time, there was a period of resentment, but he quickly controlled it.
Qin Nuo rubbed his nose, so he spared no effort to provoke the relationship between him and Pei Yan, and the people behind the scenes were ready to come out.
Dongbo asked: "Should someone send a thorough investigation. Or prohibit such speech?"
Qin Nuo shook his head: "The mouth of Fangmin is better than Fangchuan, so don't bother. If the war in the Southern Dynasty goes well, such rumors will naturally not be broken. If the war is not smooth, I am afraid that a new version will evolve in the future.
"But if you ignore it, I'm afraid it will be more detrimental to the emperor."
Qin Nuo thought for a while, "To fight against rumors, the hard cap is not enough, but it is better to lead the trend. Let us put two more rumors."
Dongbo: "Ah?"
"For example, the southern army and General Pei did not want to let the northern army intervene in the southern battlefield again. Or the southern army accepted bribes from the southern local gatekeepers, deliberately defeated, and refused to defeat the enemy ..."
Dongbo hesitated for a moment, "This kind of rumour is full of excitement, I'm afraid that it will make the southern army panic."
"If they know how to write the word panic, there is still salvation." Qin Nuo sneered.
Dongbo lowered her head, and she understood that the emperor really wanted to pack up the southern army.
When Dongbo retreated, Qin Nuo stood up and stood in front of the hall.
It was raining outside the court, and clear water droplets continued to fall from the eaves, washing the green trees on the ground.
In the summer season, rain brings a touch of coolness.
The rumor is actually true. He can no longer use Pei Yi, because Pei Yi's military power can no longer be expanded.
The soldiers and horses of the northern Xinjiang have been completely under his control, and the southern army cannot be delivered to him. Although the court did not say it explicitly, they had this tacit understanding with each other.
Ha, after all, you don't have enough minds!
