Chapter 69 Yunyi is the Crown Prince
Just as Dong Da cleared the backbones above the court, and just as Dong Da was waiting for the yellow robe to be added, the night wind in the capital suddenly changed the wind direction overnight...
On the sixth night of Ye Yun's detention, a strange thing happened in Beijing. After midnight, there was silence in the capital, and the whispers in Hualiu Lane were calm.
As usual, the sun rise in the east, but the light shines on the walls of the capital. A gate guard looked at the city wall with his eyelids and stretched out his hand to push the gate open. His swaying eyes wandered around, and suddenly he stopped the movement in his hand and looked at the wall behind him.
Pieces of yellow silk stuck to the wall, and he became suspicious. He turned around and walked towards the yellow silk.
Looking at the yellow silk, his pupils kept opening, and then his lips trembled and shouted.
"Ah..."
"Come on, hurry up and report it to Lord Fu Yin."
And the streets and alleys in the capital are also covered with the same yellow silk. People in the capital naturally come out to watch and point out to each other. Following their eyes, on the dim yellow wall, yellow silk rose with the wind, and the scarlet ink wrote a shocking secret.
"Hey, what's written on it?" A vendor with a burden patted the man who looked like a scholar beside him and asked.
The man raised his eyebrows with some disgust, reached out and patted the dust that did not exist on his shoulder. Then he took a step aside and read it: "God bless my dynasty, the former emperor died, Emperor Zhongjing died before he succeeded to the throne, and the prince rebelled. All the people in heaven have been trapped in water and fire. The country cannot be without a king, and there must be a virtuous person to bless the people to achieve perfection.
"I don't understand this article, Zou Zou..."
The scholar ignored the hawker's muttering and continued to read, "Now there is the son of Fengyuan Marquis, Ye Yunyi, who is also the son of the former emperor, and he is a twin with Emperor Zhongjing?" The scholar read and suddenly stopped. The words were blocked and he was shocked and speechless.
"Why did the prince of Fengyuan have something to do with the former emperor?" The scholar doubted himself. The more people gathered around him, the louder the discussion became.
"Twins? Isn't this a taboo? The old man beside him interrupted.
"Yes, twins will die together. This is what our ancestors have said for thousands of years..."
"That's right, the twins of the former queen gave birth to. No wonder Emperor Zhongjing has always been weak."
The voices of everyone talking came one after another, and the scholar continued to read: "Emperor Zhongjing is dead, and the twin killing elephants broke the situation. Ye Yun, the son of the world, has both literature and martial arts, is benevolent and wise. When he enters the temple, he can inherit the unification and rest his destiny.
"This..." The hawker opened his mouth to say something.
"Make way." Before the hawker could speak, a line of guards came and tore off the yellow silk on the wall. The leader glared angrily at the surrounding people and warned loudly, "You don't have to look at this nonsense. If anyone discusses it privately, it will be dealt with as a crime of conspiracy. If you want to go to Jingzhao Yin's government, just try it.
With that, the man pulled out his sword, and the sound of friction made the people's ears ring, but it was also forced to disperse by the official prestige.
Soon, most of the yellow silk on the street was cleaned up, but the news had spread out, and it was too late.
......
Early this morning, Dong Dashang was in a beautiful dream, but was suddenly awakened and said that something had happened.
Dong Da, who was unhappy, slowly changed his clothes and went to the front hall, but saw that Yin of Jingzhao Mansion was walking anxiously in the hall, patting each other from time to time, which made Dong Da angry.
At some distance, Dong Da dismissed the servants around the front hall.
"What do you do so indiscrely, hum."
Jin Zhaofu Yin didn't have time to kowtow to apologize. He even forgot to salute and said urgently, "No, my lord, something has happened."
"Say it." Dong Da frowned and turned his back to sort out the jade ring on his belt.
Yin of Jingzhaofu sighed and said, "Your Excellency, early this morning, there were gate guards to report that the capital is roughly four gates, ranging from civilian bitter alleys to ordinary people, are covered with yellow silk, and it says..."
"What does it say?" Dong Da raised his eyebrows and asked.
Now the court is basically barrier-free, but if there are other troubles, it will take a lot of effort.
"The yellow silk said that Ye Yunyi, the son of Fengyuan Marquis, and Emperor Zhongjing are one mother compatriots. Now that Emperor Zhongjing has died, it's time for him to ascend the throne.
Jing Zhaofu Yin said and saw Dong Da's face darkened, which was extremely Rui Rui.
"What? Ye Yunyi?"
Of course, Dong Da didn't believe it. He frowned and shouted, "Go and bring the yellow silk up."
Soon, the bodyguard entered with yellow silk in his hand. When Dong Da took it, the bodyguard hurriedly left the front hall for fear of being ignited by Dong Da's anger.
Dong Da shook off the yellow silk with one hand, turned his eyes sharply, and read every word above.
"The son Ye Yun has both literature and martial arts, is benevolent and wise. He should enter the temple under the right name, and can inherit the unification and calm the fate of heaven. Humph, where did these nonsense come from? If Ye Yunyi was really the twin son of Emperor Zhongjing, how could he become the son of Fengyuan Houfu? It's really ridiculous, extremely ridiculous."
I don't know if he didn't believe it or had a vague fear in his heart. Dong Da was calm as usual and threw the yellow silk to the ground fiercely.
"Your Excellency, this yellow silk suddenly appeared last night, and the guards in the city did not notice anything strange. I'm afraid someone was giving instructions in the dark." The responsibility of Jingzhaofu is to appease the people of Beijing and keep one side safe. At the feet of the emperor, this is indeed a beautiful difference, but in such a world, he can only carefully clean everything. For example, if this yellow silk is not clear, it may become his inability to supervise at any time.
Dong Da heard this and said in a low voice, "It's not impossible."
"Can you dispose of this yellow silk now?"
"Your Excellency, the subordinate has tore off all the yellow silk, taken back the Beijing Zhaofu, and waited for the adult to deal with it." Yin Gong of Jingzhaofu answered.
"What's the reaction of the people?" Dong Da is most concerned about this. Although he wants to ascend to the throne of Dabao, he is not willing to be honest.
The hearts of the people are more important than the good generals under them. Dong Da understands the world of those who win the hearts of the people.
"This..." Jingzhaofu Yin was a little hesitant, and it was really not easy to answer this question.
"Let's put it bluntly..." Dong Da glanced at the Jingzhaofu Yin, and he had the worst plan in his heart.
"most of the people who got up early and went out saw it. The yellow silk was pasted all over the capital, and the people under the officials searched all the way, which also disturbed many people. I'm afraid it can't be hidden." Jingzhao Yin said, and his voice gradually lowered.
Dong Da's eyebrows hurt, which is indeed a * annoyance.
There is no successor to the Celestial Empire, so he can take the throne, but this yellow silk is difficult to distinguish between true and false, which disrupts his plan.
"Since you can't block Youyou's mouth, don't hurt the people, so that the people won't accept it. Go ahead." After Dong Da gave the order, he sent the Jingzhao Fu Yin away.
"Yes, yes..."
When Jingzhaofu Yin left, Dong Da sent someone to find Wang Sheng in the study.
"I have seen adults."
Dong Da looked at Wang Sheng, who leaned down to salute, waved his sleeves and stopped his movements: "Don't be polite. What do you think about how to deal with this yellow silk?"
"I think this matter has spread, so naturally you can't hide it." Wang Sheng saw Dong Da nod and continued, "The prince is now imprisoned in the heavenly prison. If this is true, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
"You mean, someone will take advantage of this to make an article?" Dong Da was awakened by Wang Sheng's words, and he almost forgot that Ye Yun was being imprisoned by him. If this matter is not handled carelessly, he will be charged with murdering the royal family.
Wang Sheng nod: "Perhaps, this matter was simply done by someone to frame adults. My lord, think about it, the twin elephants are indeed killing elephants, which is a taboo for the Celestial Empire, but the death of Emperor Zhongjing has also been some time. Why didn't this yellow silk appear for a while, but it appeared when Ye Yun was about to be convicted as he was imprisoned?
Dong Da also nodded, and the lines of his jaw tightened. After a long time, he whispered, "What you said is reasonable."
"What if this news is false?" Dong Da turned around and asked.
"If this is false, it will give the adults a strong help." Wang Shengxie raised a pair of slender eyes, and his negative eyes flowed in it.
"What do you say?" Dong Da was puzzled and asked.
Wang Sheng came forward a little closer and replied softly: "If this news is false, the adult can cover the charge of spreading rumors on Ye Yunyi and Feng Yuanhou. At that time, the adult was a meritorious official, and the power of Fengyuan Houfu disappeared invisible..."
Dong Da's heart suddenly relaxed and smiled gently.
"What do you think this news is true or false?"
"I don't think it's likely to be true. If adults are worried, they can check it first in the palace. If it is false, they can verify their identity in front of everyone, which is the victory. If it's true, you can only plan otherwise.
"Hmm. You're right."
Dong Da immediately followed Wang Sheng's advice and went to the palace to find out whether the matter was true or false.
In those years, it was difficult for the former queen to have children. The midwives and imperial doctors who entered the palace have recorded it, but most of these people left the court and could not find any trace. However, there is no record of the twins in the book of Tai Hospital.
It seems that this matter is false.
Dong Da calmed down a little, and the next day, in the name of Dong Caiwei, invited Man Chao Wenwu into the palace to test his body.
"Your Excellency, recently there have been rumors in the capital that Ye Yunyi, the son of the Marquis of Fengyuan, was born by the previous emperor and was a mother compatriot with Emperor Zhongjing. This matter is really dirty on my royal face and should not be put aside. Today, Meng Dong Niang clearly summoned all the adults to the palace and negotiated a countermeasure.
Naturally, the courtiers have known about the yellow silk for a long time, and now they are clearly put on the table, so they have no scruples: "Weichen thinks that it is the best way to verify the true position."
Dong Da coughed twice, and the hall slowly calmed down. He only heard Dong Da say, "Yes, so I sent Ye Yun to verify his true body on the spot to show the world!"
