Chapter 86: Wind and Rain in the City
As soon as the latest progress in the assassination of Taiwo was released, it spread throughout the Chujing in just one court. Ω
The news went away without any hesitation, causing a sensation in the whole city.
"Mr. Wu is going to rebel!"
"The third princess has plotted against usurped the throne!"
"The Princess of Wu murdered her husband!"
"All the Wu clans are in prison!"
"I'll ask for the death after autumn!"
"Look, look!"
...
All kinds of gossip are circulating in the market like they have wings, and the more they spread, it becomes more outrageous, but it also gets closer to the truth.
Compared to the people's gossip about the royal family, the upper class of the Chu nobles were shocked by this news. A battle for the throne without gunpowder finally kicked off. "Wu Hou was accused of betraying the rebellion" was a signal that someone lit the beacon tower and came out to stand.
On the main street, the best private room in the Junzi Building was secretly housed by some unknown nobles. In one of the private rooms, they sat down before going down to talk and then sat together to continue talking. However, they did not know the wonders of the Junzi Building. The eight-gua formation diagram was used as the structure. In the middle, all the conversations in the other eight private rooms could be heard, but the other rooms could not hear any sounds.
In the huge elegant room, Wang Yin, who was about forty-four years old, laughed teasingly, "Old Li, you have a tough temper. Think about our age, both old and young, and rush forward as soon as something happens, which is not suitable!"
The Censor Li took a sip of tea and his gray eyebrows trembled, "Didn't you all know this here for a long time? Besides, I'm just there today, and the one who speaks the loudest is the newly-recommended rising star Xian Yin. He showed his face in front of the king and Lord Ling Yin today, but he put himself on a brazier to roast!"
Ling Yinzi carried a jade pen and slowly wrote the word "man" on the white silk laying on the long table.
When all the ministers saw this, they surrounded him and praised him, "The word "Ling Yin" is well written!"
Ling Yin Ziban raised his eyebrows calmly when he heard this, "How is it a good way?"
The ministers were silent, not knowing what the meaning of being the son of the emperor, Bu Yin (the official in charge of divination) was standing near the moment, looking at the word "六" and bowing, "It's really wonderful to write the word "六" at this time! The students have been taught."
"How to have a wonderful method?" Ling Yin Zifeng held the jade pen in his hand and asked Wu Yuan with a delicate smile. Everyone asked curiously.
"The character plus one horizontal line means that this person has infinite ambitions in power; another horizontal line means that it means that no matter how powerful a person has a heaven on his head. Isn't that good?" Wu Yuan smiled and owed, and replied calmly.
"The character Wu said with one horizontal line must refer to the third princess, and this person plus two horizontal lines means the king!" Censor Li Lao said quietly after a long time.
"Mr. Wu's explanation is indeed mysterious!" Ruo Ao Ziliang, who was sitting on the side, nodded slightly when he heard this.
"What a wonderful explanation! Haha!" Ling Yinzi praised, "Mr. Wu is worthy of being my favorite student, and this statement is very much a teacher."
After hearing this, Wu bowed and thanked him, "The teacher praised me."
Wang Yin suddenly realized and patted Wu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "I can't catch up with Wu Yuan's various tricks. No wonder he can be this Bu Yin, but I can only be a ritual Yin."
In today's countries where witches and Bu Bu are the faith, Bu Yin can sometimes even influence the fortune of a country with just one word.
Everyone laughed when they heard this. The topic was naturally directed by Wu Yuan's threading needles and two central figures in the assassination: the Third Princess and the King of Chu.
Why don’t I mention Mi Huang? Because today’s court discussions are all about attacking the third princess and testing the attitude of the King of Chu.
What is the eldest princess right now? As long as there is no big deal, no one cares about it.
Wang Yin rubbed his temples and said quietly, "At this moment, it is hard to tell the difference between the real and the real."
Ruo Ao frowned and looked at his second brother and asked, "Now, only Cheng Jia knows the situation of Wu's family best. However, Cheng Zuoyin has always been close to us, so he should not be hostile. He should also call him today."
Ling Yinzizi stretched out his finger and knocked on the long case, and said in a deep thought, "But I think his youngest son is more meaningful than Zuo Yin. Unfortunately, this child is stubborn and unwilling to enter the court to become an official, otherwise I would rather support him and accept a closed-door student."
"Oh, is it that Zuo Yin's second son, Cheng Jia?" Wu asked with a raised eyebrows. He thought he was an extraordinary young man, who was comparable to the young master's demeanor.
Zi Ban nodded when she heard this and said happily, "Do you know that this kid had said crazy words to this Yin when he was a child?"
"What do you mean?"
Everyone was curious, but Zuo Yin knew that it was said that there was also a nickname for the "second son of a thousand years" in Chujing. If he could be under Ao Ziyan for many years, no one would cross it. He would definitely be a very good seedling.
Ling Yinzi smiled slightly and said, "Ruo'ao has already reached the peak of his throne in the hands of the master. It seems to be extremely honorable, but it is also extremely dangerous."
When the ministers heard this, they were so brave that they even dared to say this.
When Ziliang heard Ling Yin Zi's words, he felt a little surprised. In his impression, Cheng Jia was always gentle and polite and unsightly young man. How could he have such crazy words?
Seeing that the ministers did not dare to respond, Ling Yin Ziban snorted coldly in his heart, and was not as straightforward as a boy. He had not said what Cheng Jia said later!
Once this ship becomes larger, there are more oars.
If you are not careful, the ship may be destroyed and the person may be killed.
He wrote down the "Cheng Jia" heavily on the bamboo slips. Mr. Wu avoided this son and instead talked about the main topic today, "Teacher, Marquis Wu is just a famous marquis, with a weak power, and it is not difficult to take his life."
Lord Li shook his head, "Don't forget that there is a Princess of Wu behind Wu. She has a great weight in the king's heart for so many years!"
The emperor nodded slightly like a yinzi, and a trace of disdain appeared on his elegant face, "If I were to say that this Princess Wu was really capable, if it weren't for her, I, the State of Chu, wouldn't have added a marquis from a pariah for nothing."
He just listened to Ling Yinzi and continued: "Everyone knows that this was done by Wu, but it's hard to say until the end! Our king is old and his heart is soft, not as good as before!..." He sighed, "You need to help the king with the right idea."
When the ministers heard the sound, they nodded slightly: "Yes! The king has been sick for many years, his eyes are blurred and he is old and confused. We should let the king see clearly the people beside him."
"Like that divine dragon, is it a human or a demon?"
A white light flashed over the sky above Chengdu City, and the sky and the earth were filled with sad clouds and mist, and the city was covered with wind and rain.
