Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 108 Rumors Abound (1)

In Luoyang City.

Streets and alleys, restaurants and teahouses.

From high-ranking officials and dignitaries, down to traffickers and pawns, there is an explosive gossip spreading.

"Have you heard?" A person from a certain tea house lowered his voice and asked the people around him.

"What did you hear? Something new has happened recently." The fire of gossip from the people around was blazing.

"I heard that King Jin is having an affair with a concubine of the emperor named Wu." The man looked around mysteriously and continued.

"Come on! I thought it was something new. We already knew about this, and you don't need to talk about it. It's still so mysterious." The people around sighed.

The story of Jin Wang Li Zhi and the emperor's talented people has already spread throughout Luoyang, and it is nothing new.

But its popularity is still high, and it has become the talk of people after dinner. If it was put in later generations, it would have been on the headlines of entertainment and gossip.

People even speculated whether it was the emperor's empty and lonely talent who hooked up with the young prince late at night, or whether the young prince forcibly occupied the emperor's talent.

The city defense troops patrolled the streets, and once they found out who spread the scandal, no matter whether they were the masterminds or not, they would be thrown into jail without further ado.

This made people discussing the matter on the street gathered together to whisper, and looked up from time to time to see if there would be a patrol team of the City Defense Army passing by.

The city defense army also turned a blind eye to this matter. As long as they don't hear them, they can say whatever they like. It is impossible for them to arrest everyone.

What's more, they are still discussing this matter in private, it is good for everyone to know it well, there is no need to be so serious.

This matter spread very quickly, basically overnight, spread to the streets and alleys, became well known to everyone, and popped up like mushrooms after a rain.

The advantage of the rumor is that it spreads quickly, but it is impossible to find out where its source came from and what it did.

And the instigator of our incident, Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, was racking his brains in the East Palace, thinking about how to write a touching letter to Li Er without losing his warmth.

"Ah..."

Li Chengqian rubbed his nose and muttered: Who is scolding me behind my back.

After thinking for a long time, Li Chengqian finally thought of how to write, and immediately wrote a touching letter.

"Wang Quan, send this letter to Luoyang to His Majesty!" Li Chengqian said, this was his first step to Luoyang.

If you go to Luoyang without any preparations, it is easy to arouse people's suspicion, so this first step is essential.

"No!" Wang Quan took the order and left.

Inside the Luoyang Palace.

His Majesty Li Er was furious. Since the rumor spread, not only did he not continue to bet on it, but it became more and more violent, which made him very angry.

Looking at His Majesty Li Er who was furious, Chu Suiliang and the others were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath.

Now that His Majesty Li Er was in a fit of anger, even Chu Suiliang, who had always been bold, shrank his neck like a quail, staying aside and not daring to say anything.

Not to mention other people, who would dare to touch the mold of His Majesty Li Er right now.

Li Zhi, King of Jin at the side, was silently wiping away his tears. He has been terrified for the past few days, for fear that the matter between him and Sister Wu would really come to light.

Fortunately, although they have had close contact, they have not yet broken through the moral bottom line and crossed the threshold.

Otherwise, it would not be as simple as wiping away his tears now.

Li Zhi cursed the [-]th generation of the ancestors of the person who spread the rumors in his heart.

"Luoyang Mansion Seal, recently we can find out where this rumor came from, who did it, and what is the reason for doing it?" His Majesty Li Er looked at an official from the third rank and said.

This official is slightly fat, in his 40s, with a white and ruddy face, and two goatees on his mouth. He is the actual highest official in Luoyang, Yin Gaohuien of Luoyang Prefecture.

Chang'an, Luoyang, and Taiyuan three capitals, nominally the highest official is the prefect who is held by the prince, but in fact it is the prefect who actually manages the prefect, and the prefect is just a title given to the prince.

Gao Huien walked out of the crowd tremblingly. He couldn't eat well or sleep well because of this matter these days.

But helplessly, there is still no clue about this matter, and the progress of the case is slow. Let alone find out who spread it, he still hasn't figured out how to spread it.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent, and I have no clue yet. Please forgive me!" Luoyang Mansion Yin Gaohui said kindly.

"Huh!" Li Er snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction with Gao Huien's ability to handle affairs: "You can't even handle such a trivial matter, how do you become the prefect of Luoyang?"

"Come here, drag me out and chop it up."

When the guards outside the hall heard Li Er's voice, they rushed in immediately and pulled Gao Huien away.

"Ah!!" Gao Hui'en was so frightened that he was half dead. After breaking away from the guards, he hurriedly fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

He doesn't want to die!

"Your Majesty!" Chu Suiliang couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly stood up to stop him: "Your Majesty! What does this matter have to do with Gao Fu Yin? Rumors spread quickly, and spread throughout Luoyang almost overnight. I tried my best, but I still haven't found the source of the rumors."

"But even so, you can't blame Gaofu Yin. Even if he is not good at things, he doesn't deserve to die."

Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "Your Majesty! Now it's not about prosecuting Gao Fu Yin's dereliction of duty, but how to stop the rumors from spreading and find out the whole story as soon as possible."

"Even if His Majesty kills Gaofu Yin, so what? Just to vent the momentary anger, killing the imperial court officials will solve the problem?"

"Father, Gao Fuyin has worked hard for this matter. There is no credit but hard work. I also ask Father Gao to read for the sake of Gao Fuyin's dedication to doing things. Don't blame him because of your son's affairs." King Jin Li Zhidao.

Li Er calmed down after hearing this, he was too anxious, after all, this matter was related to his beloved son Li Zhi, how could he not let him get angry.

"What Wuji and Suiliang said is not unreasonable. I am too impatient about this matter! For the sake of King Jin's intercession for you, I will make a note this time. Governor Gao will solve the case as soon as possible." Li Erdao, waving for the guards back down.

The guard saluted and retreated.

"Thank you for your majesty's grace of not killing! I will definitely find out the murderer behind the scenes and return Jin Wang's innocence with all my heart and mind." Gaofu Yin said after saving his life, and he was grateful to Li Zhi in his heart.

"What's your opinion on this matter? What's the countermeasure?" Li Er looked at the ministers and asked.

Everyone was silent for a while, not even knowing how it happened, and how to find a solution.

Li Er waited for a long time, but he still didn't see anyone standing up to solve his problems, so he became even more angry.

On weekdays, one is more capable than the other, but now no one can stand up to solve this matter.

"Okay! You all back down!" Li Er said.

"The ministers will leave!" Everyone saluted and retreated.
