The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 234 A New Rumor Is Born
Chapter 235 A New Rumor Is Born
After the monks were rescued, Bai Jingyi was the first to receive the news, followed by Pei Ji.As for Cheng Yaojin, he was snoring like thunder in the Cheng residence...

The next day, when the sky brightened.

The people in Chang'an City have already started a day's work, even though it is winter, many people are still busy.

And this time, they heard rumors that shocked them even more.

"Have you heard? Those masters from Lanruo Temple have been released again!"

"That's right! They were indeed released, and everyone told everyone that natural disasters are coming, and the world will be hard to escape. The real master of the world is Mr. Pei Ji Pei!"

"What!? You can't talk nonsense. If you don't do it, you'll lose your head!"

"This is what those monks said, and master Fa Ya is planning to open an altar in Lanruo Temple!"

"If that's the case, is it true that a natural disaster is about to befall my Tang Dynasty!?"

"In my opinion, this is [-]% true! Otherwise, why didn't those monks leave Chang'an City after they were released!? Are they still staying to die!?"

"Yes, yes! If the Holy Majesty listens to such rebellious words, wouldn't it implicate the Nine Clans!?"

"Don't talk about this matter, maybe you will get into trouble!"

The common people kept silent, after all, they couldn't tell whether the matter was true or not.

However, there are still many trustworthy people who hurried to Lanruo Temple outside Chang'an City.They want to see whether Master Fa Ya is really opening the altar to pray for the Tang Dynasty.

This new rumor has spread all over the folk square city, and almost all the people in Chang'an City are talking about this matter. Although they only talked for a few words and then kept silent, they were still heard by Li Er's spies.

The unscrupulous people under Li's second hand quickly folded the news into a note, and passed it directly into the palace through flying pigeons...

After layers of transmission, it was finally passed on to Li's second hand, who was in the early court.

When the ministers below saw the note passed to Li Er's hands, they all fell silent.After all, in the early court, it must not be a trivial matter to have news spread to the court.

"Boom!" Li Er slapped the table viciously after reading the note.He stared and roared angrily: "Cheng Yaojin! You are so brave!"

Li Er was so angry that he directly called Cheng Yaojin by his full name, instead of calling him Cheng Zhijie as before.

And Cheng Yaojin was taken aback by the sudden roll call, after all, he was still sleeping soundly in his place.

He stood up reflexively, bowed to Li Er and said. : "Dare to ask the old minister what the crime is!"

"Don't you know what you did!? See for yourself!"

Cheng Yaojin's mind was still fuzzy, he only remembered Zuo Yebai Jingyi asked him to do a big thing, and Bai Jingyi also told him that today he could get Li Er's reward,
But in the current situation, where did I make any great achievements, I clearly committed a big mistake.Not to mention rewards, not being punished is already a blessing in misfortune.

After Cheng Yaojin read the contents of the note, his face turned pale with fright.

Quickly bowed to Li Er and cupped his hands and said, "I don't know, I have been wronged!"

"Old minister Zuo Ye was drunk and didn't know what happened. This has nothing to do with the old minister! Please also ask the Holy One to investigate clearly!"

Li Er immediately shouted angrily: "You are drunk and mistaken, I will punish you with three months' salary!"

All the civil and military officials present were so shocked that they didn't even dare to breathe.

They didn't understand what happened to make the Holy One so angry.

However, no matter how they guessed, they couldn't guess what kind of thing could make the Holy One so angry with a founding hero.

Everyone is thinking about Cheng Yaojin's recent actions, although Cheng Yaojin, the troublemaker, never behaves according to the rules.

But he will never go too far in doing things, and most of the Holy One is turning a blind eye.

Pei Ji sneered secretly, after all, Cheng Yaojin is now in charge of managing the prison, and those monks in Lanruo Temple were sent in by him himself.

Now that these monks have been purchased privately by his own housekeeper, the Holy Majesty must have known about this matter.

Letting the death row inmates without permission must be punished from top to bottom.It is not difficult to guess why the Holy Majesty was so furious.

However, before Pei Ji could continue to be complacent, Li Er suddenly pointed at Pei Ji and shouted angrily: "Come here! Take down Pei Ji, the traitor!"

"Sigh~~"

When seeing this result.

The ministers present couldn't help but gasped.

Even more shocking, his scalp was numb, and he was thinking in his heart: "What the hell happened!? First, the founding hero was punished with a salary!"

"Afterwards, the Holy Majesty actually said that Pei Ji, the leader of all the officials, is a traitor!? What is the reason for this!?"

Pei Ji didn't even know what happened. After all, he trusted his housekeeper to help him deal with the shady things for so many years.It must be able to be done seamlessly.

Even if a flaw is revealed, it will definitely take time to investigate before being able to find him.

And when he senses that someone is patrolling, he will definitely erase the traces with thunder.

It's only been one night, why did he find it on his head?Pei Ji was very puzzled, but he could only shout loudly at this moment: "Your Majesty is wronged! Your Majesty is wronged!"

"My minister has worked so hard for my Tang Dynasty, what exactly did he commit, that His Majesty would execute him like this!?"

Li Er roared angrily: "At this moment! You traitor, you dare to quibble!"

"Nowadays there are rumors that natural disasters will come to my Tang Dynasty, and it is even rumored that you, Pei Ji, are the lord of the world!"

"I have always been very puzzled, where did these monks have the guts? How dare they spread rumors in Chang'an City! Now it seems that you must be behind them! Otherwise, how dare those monks cheat the people of incense money! "

"The old minister was wronged. The old minister was wronged! The old minister didn't know about it!" Pei Ji kept defending.

All the civil and military officials present understood the reason.

It should be that these monks were let go, and they continued to spread rumors after they came out, so the Holy One was furious and blamed Lu Guogong.

Moreover, after these monks came out, they intensified even more, even saying that the master of the world should be Pei Ji, the head of all officials.

Spreading such rumors in the boundary of Chang'an City to confuse people's hearts, under such scaremongering, how could the Holy Majesty not be furious! ?

What's more, it hasn't been long since the change of Xuanwumen, not even half a year.

Spreading such rumors is simply looking for death. Although many of the ministers present are Pei Ji's henchmen, or people who are close friends with Pei Ji.

They didn't dare to stand up and speak for Pei Ji, because whoever stood up at this time would definitely be implicated, and they wouldn't ask the reason at all, and they would be dealt with as the same crime...

The entire Tai Chi Hall seemed to have become even colder, and all civil and military officials could not help but tremble all over...
