Phoenix falling mortal dust

Wind Wave 1

The north wind floated. After the bloody rebellion of the Duke of Dingguo before the New Year, the people of Kyoto gradually returned to their vitality, but they encountered the storm after the abolition. Suddenly, the atmosphere of the court changed, and there was an invisible smell flowing throughout Kyoto.

The news of disharmony between the emperor and the ministers is spreading throughout Kyoto, but it is all discussed in private. No one dares to discuss it in the public venue. Is this a felony of killing the head and filling the army, but the people can't help discussing it. After all, the people living at the bottom of society love to talk about the upper class. Gossip, both ancient and modern.

Nowadays, the places where the most information can be inquired include not only places with fast floating population such as brothel, but also the quietest teahouses have become one of the areas of gossip.

Dongyang Tea House, the most famous teahouse in Kyoto, is one of the favorite places for literati and rich officials. After all, people with heads and faces like stinky things, so they often come here to visit and add face to themselves. The most important thing is that you can hear the news and rumors that ordinary people in the court can't hear at all, and there is more news. It is said that the emperor has come to this teahouse to hear how people discuss royal rumors. However, who is the emperor? Where can ordinary people know him? It can only be rumored and can't be serious. Most people also believe that the emperor can't appear in the teahouse at all. What the emperor wants to know is directly learned from the spies.

Life goes on as usual, and the teahouse is no exception.

Today, the atmosphere in the teahouse is as hot as usual, and it is still discussing the matter of being useless, and there is no quiet atmosphere many years ago. Today, the teahouse is full, which can almost be described as overcrowded. In a crowded teahouse, it is really difficult to find a table and chair for only one person. Looking at the third floor of the whole teahouse, there is only one person sitting on the third floor with a table and chair.

The man sitting in the east is a handsome young man. He is listening to the literati not far away from each other discussing the news about the waste queen, plucking the peanut shell, drinking wine, and not drinking tea.

The tea drinkers on the third floor are all regular customers in Dongyang Tea House, which are familiar to everyone. There are more than a dozen tables on the third floor, but more than 40 or 50 people are crowded, just like a downtown.

The young man was listening to the speech of a person not far away. Their topic just made him very interested, and it was also a more ** topic.

Because the young people are close, what they say is so loud. No matter how low they are, the people around them can hear them talking, which makes people feel a little strange.

"There are really a lot of things about the royal family today, and it is impossible to distinguish between true and false. But there is one thing you must not know, that is, why did the emperor send the queen to the North Palace? It was a middle-aged man who was weak-looking and could not see any strangeness. Around him were literati who were not much different from him. Far away were some well-known bosses and officials in various industries in Kyoto. They also listened attentively to the "wistine" discussion.

"Who doesn't know? It's not that the emperor has no love for the abolition. He wants to send him to the North Palace and save her life. In this way, he can also explain to the ministers in the court, and he can also threaten the remnants of the Duke, so that they dare not act rashly. Isn't the rumor you know like this? The questioner is a young man, who is very thin and small. A pair of bright small eyes emit bright luster, which is different from the middle-aged people around him, as if he is not a kind of person.

"Du Yayi, you are still not convinced that you are old-fashioned. This has been rumored for a long time. Of course, it's not true. Everyone will understand it when you think about it. You nerd don't believe it." Everyone cast a mocking look at the young man named Du Yayi. This version has long been circulating in front of the North Palace. Now no one has believed it. Unexpectedly, this stupid guy has brought it up.

"What the hell is going on? How did I hear about it, and where did you know it from? Du Yayi looked confused. He only went to other places. Is there a new rumor about the matter? However, things in Kyoto changed three times a day, and the taste changed as soon as it spread. It was really difficult to know the truth of the matter.

"Alas! The emperor is infatuated with it, but it also contains other conspiracies. I'll tell you..." The middle-aged man glanced around and said to the people next to him in a low voice with almost no effect: "I heard that the death of the Abandoned Queen is a conspiracy at all. It's fault of the queen at all, but the emperor's design. Everything is for him. A conspiracy designed by fame. As soon as the middle-aged man said it, everyone next to him gasped. No one really thought about it. After all, the emperor once told the ministers what happened that day in the Jinluan Hall. Later, even General Xiao Ziying carefully said the obvious. Even the maid of honor admitted it and said that she had pushed the queen down. The reason of the abyss.

Of course, there is no need for the emperor to kill the queen, otherwise he will execute her directly at the request of the minister. How can he resolutely oppose the ministers and insist on sending the deposed queen to the North Palace for imprisonment?

"Absolutely impossible, otherwise why is the emperor now so sad for the death of the queen that he can't go to court? He is in poor health." Although Du Yayi is only a small scholar, he still does not believe that the emperor will design to kill his beloved wife.

"Du Yayi, don't be too naive. What happened in the imperial dynasty is something that we ordinary people can't understand at all. How much do you know about the secrets of the palace? I don't think you know at all. Anyway, it's just what we're discussing, and it's not what really happened. Maybe... There are other reasons for the death of the Abandoned Queen. After all, I'm speculating by myself. It's all hearsay and I haven't seen anything happen. Middle-aged said.

"Mr. Wu, where did you hear it?" A scribe asked Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu looked at the questioner and whispered, "I also have to know from a young man in Feng's house that if he is not my relatives and friends, he won't tell me. Because he also overheard the drunken master say that there must be no fake.

"Mr. Wu, do you know what kind of consequences you will have if your words spread out? Don't you care? Aren't you afraid of the king's law?" Du Yayi's cold words made Mr. Wu feel cold all over his body, and his forehead was full of bean-sized beads of sweat. He was straightforward for a moment and said something without thinking about the consequences. At this time, he thought that the people present were all literati friends he used to be familiar with. He must not spread the words around, and I hope that's all he can do.
