The same similar scene was not only in the teahouse in front of me, but also in dozens of teahouses in the capital. Mysterious men who claimed to have the source of information appeared in almost all of them. They successfully detonated this shocking incident that happened in the palace.
It triggered a bomb of public opinion. These tea and drinkers were all good at spreading gossip. In less than an hour, the whole story of this case began to spread in the streets, alleys, restaurants and tea shops of the entire capital.
While the news is spreading rapidly, it is also being further explored and derived. Various related gossips and news have begun to fly all over the sky, and various unfounded suspicions and fabrications have also become part of the rumors. As the saying goes, spread rumors with one mouth, and refute them quickly.
Legs, people would rather believe that they existed than not believe that they didn't exist. Everyone began to become free rumormongers about this case, turning the whole case into extremely bizarre and absurd stories that were spread.
Public opinion was boiling, and in just half a day, countless bizarre versions were derived, which were sensational and unpalatable.
One version is that Concubine Rong and Lu Feiming had an affair. The rumors were vivid, describing how Concubine Rong and Lu Feiming had unresolved feelings, and then secretly communicated under the eyes of the emperor. It was also said that Princess Green Dance was not actually the emperor's flesh and blood, but
She is the daughter of Lu Feiming. Concubine Rong exchanged her daughter for a son. In fact, she changed the soup but not the medicine. They are all Lu Feiming's flesh and blood. The difference is that Lu Feiming wanted to use this method to change the Guo family into a person with the surname of Lu.
.However, Concubine Rong is passionate about adultery and is willing to be an accomplice to seize the world for the adulterer.
The second version is that there is another person behind the scenes who instigated Concubine Rong, namely Liang Wang Guo Bing. It is said that Liang Wang coveted the throne, but had no way to do it. So he took advantage of Concubine Rong's eagerness to compete for favor and arranged to change the young master to Lu Feiming's son.
The King of Liang pretended not to know, and waited until Lu Feiming's son came to the throne to expose it and replace him.
There are countless derivative versions, all involving the Green Dance Queen Mother Rong and others, which are bizarre and imaginative. I have to admire the people's imagination. The more they restrict their words on this kind of thing, the more they dare to think
I dare to say that I dare to make any ridiculous remarks. Of course, this is indispensable for some people to add fuel to the fire. Every once in a while, a group of people will release new news, and then push the matter into another bizarre climax.
Lin Jue took Lu Wu home in the afternoon, and was chatting with his wives and concubines in the back house. In the evening, news came in waves. At first, Lin Jue didn't pay much attention, until the news that came in became more and more ridiculous.
Lin Jue realized that public opinion was out of control. At the same time, he also realized that someone must be adding fuel to the fire and deliberately causing the current situation.
What made Lin Jue even more annoyed was that Lin Hu came to report that there were people gathering outside the house, saying they wanted to see Princess Zhou. Lin Jue personally went out to check, and saw a group of people pointing and making noise in front of Lin's house. Lin Jue
He was so angry that he ordered the nursing staff to go out with weapons, beating and kicking hundreds of people who were doing bad things, until they ran away like ghosts and howls.
Back in the back house, Lin Jue calmly thought about the situation and had a plan in his mind. He immediately decided to go to the palace to see the emperor overnight. However, before Lin Jue could go out, the palace servants had already sent a message, asking Lin Jue to come in quickly.
Lin Jue, the palace sage, knew that the public opinion outside had been known to the palace. Guo Chong must have known all this, so he hurriedly summoned himself to inquire.
When Lin Jue walked into the Chunming Pavilion of Yanhe Hall, he found that someone had already climbed in first.
Under the bright candlelight, Guo Chong's face was as gloomy as the dark clouds in the sky, sitting behind the desk. Opposite him stood three people, Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun and Wu Chunlai.
"Your Majesty, Lin Jue, bows to your Majesty." Lin Jue stepped forward quickly and saluted loudly.
Guo Chong straightened up and said in a deep voice: "Get up, I'm waiting for you. Several of my beloved ladies are also waiting for you."
Lin Jue thanked him loudly and stood up, turned around and cupped his hands towards Lu Zhongtian and others as a greeting. After Lu Zhongtian came out, the other two people didn't even raise their hands and ignored Lin Jue at all.
"Now that Lin Jue is here, I can talk about the matter. Have you heard the rumors outside?" Guo Chong did not hesitate and went straight to the topic.
"I have received the report. Rumors are spreading in the city and public opinion is boiling. What they are talking about is actually the case about Concubine Rong that I asked you to keep secret. Moreover, all kinds of slanderous, slanderous and even insulting words, all kinds of conjecture and nonsense are simply unbearable.
.I am very angry. I wonder what you think after hearing this? But I am not asking you to talk about your feelings. What I want to ask is, who leaked this matter against my will? No one who knows the matter except me.
There are only a few of you. I have made it clear to you that I will not make it public at this time, but it is still leaked. Do you want to explain to me?" Guo Chong said coldly.
"Your Majesty, this veteran has definitely not leaked this matter. Your Majesty, please take a closer look. This veteran knows that this matter is important, how dare you spread it casually? There must be someone else." Lu Zhongtian bowed and said.
Wu Chunlai also bowed and said: "Your Majesty, these matters are extremely secret. How dare I leak the secrets at will? Not to mention that the Emperor has issued a decree, even if the Emperor has not issued an decree, I must be tight-lipped."
Yang Jun frowned and said loudly: "It turned out that the emperor summoned the old minister for this matter? The old minister was at the Nancheng military camp today to inspect the equipment of the imperial army and drill the formation. He was summoned to see the commander just after entering the city at dark. He didn't even know what happened. Look.
I went to the city and asked a few questions, and then I found out that the news had been leaked. Could it be that the emperor suspected that the old minister was spreading rumors with his big mouth? "
Guo Chong looked gloomy and frowned: "There are only a few people who know about it. A few of you know it, and Concubine Rong and a few others know it. Concubine Rong has moved to Changchun Pavilion and cannot go out at will. The people around me also know it."
It’s just Qian Delu, it’s impossible for him to tell. But, did I grow wings and fly out with this news? Or did I run out and tell the people about it myself?”
Everyone was silent. Wu Chunlai suddenly said: "Why didn't Mr. Lin speak? Did Mr. Lin tell the people around him about this matter after returning home? And... did the princess... accidentally leak it?"
When Guo Chong heard this, his eyes fell on Lin Jue's face, and he said solemnly: "Yes, Lin Jue. Why didn't you answer my question? Could it be that you accidentally leaked it?"
Lin Jue frowned and muttered: "I didn't say anything because I was thinking about the strangeness of this matter. Not speaking is not an acquiescence."
Lu Zhongtian said calmly: "Then what result has Master Lin come up with?"
Lin Jue said quietly: "Prime Minister Lu, don't tell me, I have really discovered some ways."
Lu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, then nodded unnaturally and said: "Mr. Lin is very intelligent, but I don't know what kind of skills he has. Can you tell us about it so that we can have some enlightenment?"
Lin Jue ignored the teasing meaning in his words, turned to Guo Chong and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, I have been thinking about who leaked this matter since I learned about the rumors on the street. At this moment, I have some ideas, please inform the Emperor.
.”
Guo Chong's expression softened slightly and he nodded: "Tell me quickly, who do you think leaked the news?"
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "I don't know who it is."
Guo Chong was stunned for a moment, with a sullen expression on his face. Wu Chunlai and Lu Zhongtian looked at each other with sarcastic expressions.
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter was done intentionally by others. It is a premeditated and planned action. It is to achieve an ulterior purpose. I don't need to say who leaked it.
News, but only analysis
, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion.”
Guo Chong widened his eyes and said, "Oh? Is that how you see it? Do you think this is a deliberate leak?"
Lin Jue said: "Of course, Your Majesty, the situation was calm in the morning, but it suddenly broke out in the afternoon, and spread quickly. The content and details of the circulated news are true. It is obvious that someone knows the inside story and spreads these rumors in a planned and organized way.
.It is to make this matter a storm in the city, and everyone in the world knows it. If it was just accidentally leaked, how could it explode in the city in a very short period of time? Only when waves of news are released, and there are people behind it to add fuel to the flames, can there be
This effect. If this is not intentional, what else could it be?"
Guo Chong frowned and thought, then nodded slowly and said: "When you said that, I remembered it. I ordered people to check it out, and these news started to spread everywhere in and around the capital at almost the same time. There is indeed something strange. It does seem like there is someone there.
Deliberately spreading it everywhere to create an explosion. Damn it, who did this? What is its purpose?"
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "The purpose is actually very simple. The case of Concubine Rong does not seem to have the outcome that some people thought. Some people do not want to see the current outcome, so they came up with this method to spread the news.
Leaking secrets and using public opinion to force the emperor to deal with it. To put it bluntly, they don't like the emperor's way of minimizing big issues, so they use this method of coercion behind the scenes."
As soon as Lin Jue said this, Wu Chunlai and Lu Zhongtian changed their expressions. They never expected that Lin Jue was so intelligent. As soon as the incident came out, he had already reached such a conclusion, which exposed their old foundations.
Such an opponent is simply too terrifying. Although it cannot be said that he knows everything about the enemy, he can analyze the truth of the matter in a short time. In front of him, it is like walking naked, and everything seems to be invisible.
Saw it through.
What's even more frightening is that Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai still vaguely smelled a hint of danger. Since Lin Jue has been able to analyze his purpose of doing this, he must have known that this matter was planned by himself and others. If he had pointed it out on the spot
What should we do about this matter? Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai tensed up their nerves, heightened their vigilance, and began to mentally prepare for a quibble and confrontation with Lin Jue.
Guo Chong frowned and thought for a moment, then asked in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, you are saying that they want me to kill the relevant people and don't like my handling of this matter. But what good will it do to them to kill Concubine Rong and others?
Woolen cloth?"
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, whether or not to kill Concubine Rong is not actually the key to the problem. Your Majesty can easily come to a conclusion as long as you listen to the content of the rumors outside. The public opinion outside is not just this. I saw someone deliberately deliberately
They led the matter to Prince Liang's Mansion. Not only did they want the Emperor to kill Concubine Rong, but they also wanted to establish that Prince Liang's Mansion was the instigator behind the matter. Their purpose was to make the Emperor go to war and deal with all the people involved. They
They needed to anger the emperor and force him to make irrational actions, and did not want the emperor to hide the matter. Therefore, the emperor ordered all insiders to keep silent about the matter and did not deal with it with great fanfare. After that, these people
They were unhappy, so they wanted to create public opinion to make the matter public and create chaos, thereby forcing the emperor to react."
Guo Chong nodded and said: "It makes sense, it makes sense. But what is the real purpose of their doing this? Who wants me to kill Concubine Rong and other related people, and burn this fire to Prince Liang's Mansion?"
When Guo Chong asked, Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai's hearts almost jumped out of their throats. They were waiting for Lin Jue to say their names. Once they heard Lin Jue say his name, they would launch with all their strength.
Counterattack. All the words have been thought out, just waiting for Lin Jue to speak.
