It has to be said that urgent matters lead to chaos. Whether it is Chu Shuli, Yang Yu, or Li Zheng and Wei Jiao, they realized the destructive power of this rumor and hoped to refute it as soon as possible, but they ignored their actions.

It is easy to cause panic among the people in the city.

No, after waiting until around 11:00 a.m. that afternoon, even though the Imperial Guards blocked the streets and alleys and arrested many people who discussed the matter privately in public, the rumor not only was not suppressed, but intensified, especially

Later, when the Zongfu learned of this and sent Zongwei Yu Linlang to help curb the rumors, the atmosphere in Daliang City became increasingly weird.

Even many officials serving in the DPRK could not help but speculate as to how true the rumor was.

In general, the vast majority of people in Wei almost responded to this rumor with a pessimistic attitude, because it is undeniable that the rise of Wei was largely due to the emergence of Zhao Run, the current Crown Prince of the East Palace.

, the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is largely related to the rise and fall of the Wei State - even some people who still dislike Zhao Run, such as Zhao Run's great-uncle Zhao Tairu, consider the interests of the country and themselves.

, in fact, he didn’t want Wei to lose such a rare future hero.

Of course, there are inevitably some people who hold an indifferent attitude, such as King Xiang Zhao Hongjing.

In fact, he doesn't care about Zhao Run's life or death - if the prince Zhao Run is alive, then he will simply be his prince in the prosperous age. Anyway, with his status, he can live his life without any worries; on the contrary, if

Prince Zhao Run really died unfortunately, so he wouldn't mind trying again to see if he could have a chance to get involved in the throne.

In addition, there are also people who hope that Prince Zhao Yun will die in Korea.

For example, the Seventh Prince Yi Wang Zhao Hongyin was under house arrest in Daliang City in disguise, and Xiao Luan, who had fled to Wei State. For them, the existence of Prince Zhao Run was simply a sign of strength. Of course, they hoped to take advantage of it this time.

Korean hands eliminated the powerful prince.

Finally, this rumor reached the inner court of Chui Gong Hall.

The person who reacted most violently to this was undoubtedly the Chief Minister of the Inner Dynasty, the Minister of Rites, Du You. This upright, stubborn and slightly pedantic Minister, after hearing this rumor, he had no time to think about it, and his face turned pale after being frightened.

, rolled his eyes, and he, who was only a few years past his forties, fainted on the spot.

Seeing this, the other ministers of the inner dynasty, such as Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi, Xu Guan, Li Liang, Jie Zigou and others were frightened. They started pinching people and slapping them on the back.

Du You, the minister, was awakened.

"I told you so! I told you so!"

After waking up, he saw Du You stamping his feet and beating his chest, and said repeatedly in a hoarse voice: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have put His Royal Highness in danger. It's all my Du You's fault. I can't do anything to the past kings.

If I can't live with my ancestors, I deserve death. I, I..."

"Hurry up and help Mr. Du." Lin Yuyang, the minister of the inner court, shouted urgently. From the side, three ministers of the inner court, Yu Ziqi, Xu Guan, and Li Liang, quickly controlled the overly excited Du You, lest this upright and somewhat pedantic man

The Minister of Rites, the Minister of Rites, committed suicide because of shame and self-blame.

At the same time, this rumor, as well as the chaos and panic it caused in the Liang Dynasty, were also reported to the Ganlu Palace by the eunuch, and then to Zhao Si, the emperor of Wei.

Compared with the others, Emperor Wei Zhao Si had no fluctuation in his heart after hearing this rumor, and he even wanted to laugh a little.

He really couldn't figure out why so many people thought something bad would happen to his son Zhao Run - had that scoundrel ever suffered any losses since he was a child?

Emperor Wei Zhao Si firmly believed that even if the Koreans saw through his son Zhao Run's intention to sneak into the hinterland of Korea and set up a trap, his son would definitely be able to resolve the crisis and find a way to counterattack Korea, leaving the Koreans to suffer the consequences.

Because that bad son is the most outstanding son of Zhao Si, who can surpass his father and become the future hero of the Wei Kingdom!

"It's just a little trick by the Koreans, so they panic and throw themselves into disarray. How stupid!"

Shaking his head, Wei Emperor Zhao Yuansi commented lightly.

After hearing this, the great eunuch Tong Xian chuckled and said: "Your Majesty is wise... The old slave also believes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's military strategy and wisdom will definitely not be taken advantage of by the Koreans. The reason why the government and the public are panicking is that Or maybe it's because they don't know His Highness the Crown Prince as well as His Majesty... Furthermore, perhaps the subjects have already surrendered to His Highness the Crown Prince, so they would be confused if they care. From this, it can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's prestige in our great Wei Dynasty is extraordinary now, and Your Majesty should It’s a relief.”

"Hmm."

Zhao Yuansi snorted lightly, then shook his head as if he was crying, and said seriously: "Give the maids of Ningxiang Palace a gag order not to mention this matter in front of Concubine Shen Shu, so that Concubine Shen will not worry about it and affect her health."

"When the old slave learned about this, he had already sent someone to convey it." Tong Xian lowered his head and said, "It's just the court..."

"It doesn't matter." Emperor Wei nodded, then lifted up the quilt, turned over and sat up from the dragon couch, and said calmly: "The day that bad boy left Kai Daliang, I expected that something like this might happen..."

After that, he stood up, stretched out his arms, and motioned for Tong Xian to put on the royal robe for him.

"Your Majesty..." Tong Xian hesitated to speak, but in the end, he took the royal robe and put it on for Wei Emperor Zhao Yuansi.

After getting dressed, Emperor Wei Zhao Yuancai walked to the bronze mirror in the palace and looked at it. Then, he seemed to notice the worry in the eyes of the old eunuch Tong Xian, and smiled lightly: "I am not old enough yet." Even if I don’t move forward, I can still stand the last guard for my son..."

Looking at Emperor Wei's graying beard and hair, Tong Xian nodded solemnly and flattered with a somewhat complicated mood: "Your Majesty is still as majestic as before. With Your Majesty in charge, even if Xiaoyu takes the opportunity to cause trouble, I believe he will never succeed! "

"Well said!"

Emperor Wei Zhao Yuansi smiled brightly and then walked towards the gate of Ganlu Palace.

"Let's go to Chui Gong Hall... I want to scold those stupid guys. My son is on the front line killing enemies for the country. These guys are good, but they are confused by a ridiculous rumor. They are simply stupid. !”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

On that day, when the imperial court was in the most panic and almost paralyzed, Zhao Yuancai, the emperor of Wei, who had been recuperating in the Ganlu Hall for more than two years, suddenly appeared and summoned the ministers of the inner court and the six ministers of the outer court in the Chuigong Hall. The absurd rumors made the ministers, who were distraught, denounced them harshly.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Emperor Zhao Yuansi officially issued an edict to appoint his eldest grandson "Zhao Wei" as the emperor's grandson.

After hearing the news, King Xiang Zhao Hongjing curled his lips and couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

In his view, his father's actions were, on the one hand, to appease and stabilize the ministers in the court; on the other hand, they were also equivalent to reminding or warning their sons: Even if the prince Zhao Run is not here, the throne It's not their sons' turn either.

In this case, Prince Xiang Zhao Hongjing, who originally planned to try, wisely chose to give up.

Because he knew that if he dared to jump out at this time and stir up civil strife for the sake of his position, then even if the Prince of the East Palace really went to war in South Korea, his father would not hesitate to kill him and push his grandson Zhao Wei to the throne.

The position of the prince.
