Although the epidemic has passed, the abnormal weather this winter still makes Kyoto feel a strange atmosphere.

Several heavy snowfalls have indeed become a fertile ground for many people to spread rumors.

So, nursery rhymes rose everywhere in the capital, pointing to the barren mountains.

There are already many people discussing something on the streets, and people of this era are even more convinced of the sayings of ghosts and gods.

Zhang Hong was worried about this matter.

He advised Emperor Jingping, asking His Majesty not to let the Jinyiwei and Jingzhao Mansion capture the evil-talking whisperer.

It’s not that these evil words are not hateful.

But because the inciteers behind it can be easily recovered. Once they take people on a large scale, they will definitely cause panic.

Furthermore, according to past experience, the spreaders of these rumors often find it interesting and just treat it as a topic of conversation, and are not the initiator at all.

Once this is the case, not only will the problem not be solved, but new problems may even be derived.

In the cabinet, after noon, Zhang Hong took a break, and then an eunuch came hurriedly: "Don't you, Zhang, something happened, Your Majesty urgently summoned Zhang Gong and others to go to the warmer cabinet quickly."

Zhang Hong was shocked. Just now the epidemic has passed, and a nursery rhyme has happened again, and he is really a little worried.

He was worried, his face turned pale, and he didn't even have time to tidy up his clothes, so he hurried to the warm room.

As soon as I entered the warm pavilion, I saw that Emperor Jingping's face was obviously ugly, and he was scolding the Jinyiwei Lu Bing.

"The nursery rhymes have spread throughout Kyoto! How did you be the commander?! Can't even catch the person behind it?

The prince, as the prince, was involved. If this matter was spread, wouldn’t it be a big joke?!”

Emperor Jingping's eyes were particularly strict. He stared at Lu Bing hard, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Lu Bing had already sweated coldly, and bowed to the ground and said tremblingly:

"I died, but there was no news at first, but later I found some clues. I did not dare to neglect it. I immediately inquire, but found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also..."

Emperor Jingping was so angry that he smoked his orifices, his eyes widened and said angrily:

"It would be fine if it was an ordinary person. He was the crown prince! My son..."

Since Emperor Jingping learned that the nursery rhymes have spread, he has been furious.

When Manichaeism took advantage of his first ascension to the throne and his foundation was not stable, he actually gathered people to rebel and almost overturned his country.

If the blood of the previous Han kings had not sprinkled the battlefield and quelled the rebellion, the Great Zhou might have been destroyed long ago.

However, after so many years, these thieves have revived and have also involved the foundation of the country, which has touched Emperor Jingping's reverse scale.

"I have also found out that this matter seems to be involved with Xiao Zicheng. The thieves are mixed among the refugees, and Xiao Zicheng hired them..."

Lu Bing dared not hide it, so he immediately told him everything he had investigated in a complete and complete manner.

"What did you say?" Emperor Jingping suddenly opened his eyes and asked sternly with a cold expression.

Lu Bing was shocked. He was the commander of the Jinyiwei who asked children from Kyoto to stop crying, but in front of Emperor Jingping, he was as gentle as Mianyang:

"I said that Xiao Zicheng hired them...it seemed to be mining..."

Zhang Hong's eyelids twitched. As a member of the cabinet, he knew that Xiao Zicheng had been Jian Zai's heart in recent times.

But he saw that Emperor Jingping's face was still angry, but the anger in his eyes had dissipated, and his face was not that scary:

"You mean, Xiao Zicheng is also involved in this matter?"

"Yes." Lu Bing nodded heavily.

"oh."

Emperor Jingping responded very lightly.

In just a short while, Emperor Jingping could no longer see his happiness and anger, but just nodded lightly and said slowly:

"We need to continue to inquire about this matter and see what the two of them are doing when they fall to the ground. In addition, we will do our best to track down the traces of Manichae thieves, so there must be no fish that misses the net."

Lu Bing suspected that he had heard it wrong. When he confessed to Xiao Zicheng, he felt more or less guilty and thought that Xiao Zicheng would definitely die.

But who expected...

"I obey the order."

Lu Bing responded, feeling that his back was already soaked in cold sweat.

What magic does Xiao Zicheng have that can make His Majesty suddenly change his attitude? Or maybe His Majesty hides and refuses to speak...

No matter what, as the commander of the Jinyiwei, Lu Bing knew that the change in His Majesty's attitude would require careful consideration.

When Lu Bing left, Emperor Jingping sighed deeply in his heart, then turned to look at Zhang Hong and the other two:

"You have sons, too."

"Go back to your Majesty, there is."

Zhang Hong and the other two responded in unison.

Emperor Jingping leaned on the chair tiredly, thinking:

"You have sons, I have three sons, but why don't these three sons let me worry..."

Zhang Hong and the other two lowered their heads. They did not dare to talk casually about the matters involving the prince.

Emperor Jingping said to himself:

"Forget it, no matter who is rebellious, let's see what kind of reputation they can make. After all, Xiao Zicheng is really interesting..."

Emperor Jingping had recovered his calmness and gently tapped the document in front of him:

"You are summoned because Lu Bing also reported something that Chen State is ready to raise an army to attack me next year."

Zhang Hong and others' expressions changed, and something big happened after all...

Chen State has been ready to move in recent years, and with the severe epidemic in Kyoto, it seems that they feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Now that nursery rhymes in Kyoto are everywhere, there is a better explanation. The thief behind it must be thinking of muddling the water in Kyoto.

In this way, the court must have been in a panic, and then chased the rioters everywhere, and then took the opportunity to arouse public grievances.

In recent years, due to the celestial phenomena, the people's hearts have become a little unstable. If Manichaeism secretly incites it, there will inevitably be no rebels.

If one is not handled properly, it is likely to form a prairie fire, and internal and external troubles will occur...

Zhang Hong's face was pulled down, and Emperor Jingping was even more worried.

.........

Earl Yongyi's Mansion.

Xiao Zicheng had already set up a venue in the mansion and was quietly waiting for the buyer to come.

He knew very well that essential oils were destructive to those officials, and with the concubine coming to endorse the letter, those women would definitely flock to them.

As for the officials who paid for the money... With that trial package, they will definitely eat the taste of the martyrdom...

"Young Master, the person is here."

Just as Xiao Zicheng closed his eyes and rested, Xiao Tao hurried in and said excitedly.

"As I walk, I will cut a good crop of leeks today."

After saying that, he suddenly stood up and strided towards the front hall.

At this time, the venue was already crowded, and the housekeepers of various governments gathered together and whispered.

"I don't know how Xiao Zicheng's head is so good that he can make such a strange thing."

"Yes, my master asked me to come here early in the morning and said that he would get a few bottles of essential oil back no matter what..."
