Chapter 446 Gossip
Over the clouds, to the city in the east.

"Hey... what kind of resentment is this! A son of a duke has such ambitions, relying on his meritorious service to defy the heavens, to win over the current prince. His Majesty is still in power, but now he wants to be a concubine of some kind!" Your minister, you are really bold."

Towards the end of April, new seeds are being sown, old grains are being sold, and the pockets of people who are free are also bulging, and they have more time to chat in teahouses and restaurants.Especially under the shed built on the first floor of the wooden building on the street, many people gathered to discuss the matter of Li Xian's departure in the past.

The hot tea was served, and the fragrance was lingering. Especially when these people in the imperial city, relatives who came to the outskirts of the imperial city, or business travelers came and went, when they talked about this inexplicable and wonderful event, many people were extremely excited and danced .

Obviously, it is unbelief to hear such rhetoric in the ears of others.

"Your Excellency, are you talking about Li Xian? But this son is indeed the plow that should be made for us in the Tang Dynasty, and the horseshoes added on it also allow our horses to travel thousands of miles a day without any damage. He is our general in the Western Expedition of the Tang Dynasty , but the one who brings the hope of victory to the army."

"Could it be that such a person is also a treacherous minister of our Tang Dynasty?"

Traveling all over the world naturally gained a lot of knowledge, and naturally heard a lot of rumors. The man dressed as a Western Region merchant sipped a sip of tea and looked over with a frown.

Hearing the voice of questioning, the figure who spoke was not angry. Although he was dressed in splendid attire, he did not appear to look down on others with a cold eye. He laughed.

"I know you don't believe it, but it's absolutely true!"

"I have a noble person in the court. When I came to chat a few days ago, I accidentally mentioned this matter, but he did not intend to reveal it."

"Think about it, a person with outstanding merits, logically speaking, even if he caused a disaster in the Drunken Flower Tower, he would be punished by this prison disaster. No matter how powerful he is, how can he easily let such a person be buried in the world? What's more, the prince of the county prince's mansion is safe and sound."

Having said that, the speaker moved the stool to sit among the crowd, glanced cautiously around, and lowered his voice mysteriously.

"Think about it."

"In the past, His Majesty was very protective of this person. Back then, all civil and military officials tried to admonish him, but His Majesty ignored them all. But now? Your Majesty is letting him go?"

"It's because His Majesty knew Li Xian's original intention! It's also because His Highness the Crown Prince killed relatives righteously, so he wouldn't be tempted by such heroes!"

As if he knew the whole truth, the man in brocade clothes who spoke patted his thigh, looked up at the frowning figures around him, nodded his head with his fingers and continued.

"This man, even if he is a genius who has not been born in the world for a hundred years, if he uses his brains and wants to rely on his meritorious deeds to gain a benefit in front of the future king, or wants to hold the future king in his hands, all this greed will be The beginning of the disaster!"

With his back to a group of people surrounding him, he clenched his fists on the wine table, and suddenly took a sip of the wine, with a low voice.

"Did you hear Li Xian say this with your own ears? Or did you see Mr. Li threatening others with your own eyes?"

Hey!
The man in brocade clothes glanced at the burly figure, also in brocade clothes and jade belt, with a sword hanging from his waist, he must be a son of a rich family, so he restrained his previous expression a little.He hesitated a few words and straightened his chest.

"I... I heard it too."

"Then tell me, high-ranking officials with rich salary and endless rewards have been left behind, but they left the imperial city without saying a word. What is the intention behind this?"

"What's more, this kind of people who are loved by the people are traveling quietly. They haven't heard the news for such a long time. What is it if they are not avoiding disasters?"

Boom.

The fist tightened in the next moment, and the opposite side was suddenly covered with a palm, and he patted it lightly twice as if comforting.

A voice that could only be heard by two people immediately sounded in front of the man who lowered his head and forbearance.

"Brother Cheng, forget it."

"You can teach these alarmists a lesson, but you can't control their mouths."

"What's more, some matters are getting darker and darker."

Seeing that the figure didn't speak anymore, when the man in brocade was about to get up, he was pulled by the figure beside him and pressed to the seat, asking.

"Where did Li Xian go besides the imperial city? Could it be that no one knows?"

The talking figure glanced at the drinking figure buried in the desk and saw that he didn't move. He knew that this person would not be easy to mess with if he was dressed in fine clothes. Then he glanced at the surrounding figures, and turned to After opening the topic, I talked to these people again about other matters.

Between the strands of black hair hanging from his forehead, Qin Huaidao glanced at the gathered figures, leaned forward slightly, and approached Cheng Chumo on the opposite side.

"Now we are not far from the truth. Even if we know that there are many instigations from the prince's guests, we must calm down and hold the testimony in our hands."

"Brother Li is now outside the imperial city, and has no way of knowing about the affairs of the imperial city. You don't want Brother Li to be scolded if he walks on the long street when he returns to Beijing next time?"

In the eyelids, an angry figure exhaled a thick and rough breath from his nasal cavity.

"Got it!"

"I just can't see Brother Li receiving such criticism after being dismissed from office!"

"It's not worth it for him! Everything he did for Datang is not worth it!"

Qin Huaidao lightly patted Cheng Chumo's shoulder and lowered his voice.

"The people are just short-sighted, haven't read many books, their minds haven't been fully opened, and they are easily bewitched."

"Even if Bei is confused by these rumors, it is not a bad thing to worry about the affairs of the family and the country."

Hey~
With a soft sigh, Qin Huaidao withdrew his arm, squeezed the cup and poured down the slightly sour fermented rice.

"How can people who live in an acre of land know how hot the wine is in a six-story building?"

"What they see is nothing but mixed speeches, and the invisible instigation of the force behind them seems to be brewing a big change."

Looking past the figure in front of him with clear eyes, looking at the bluestone floor shining brightly on the long street, Qin Huaidao has a worried look in his eyes.

"The people behind it include the guests from the prince's mansion to justify their arguments, and some lobbyists from the mansion of the prince of Wei who took the opportunity to make the muddy water even more muddy. Trying their foreheads has already become apparent."

"This imperial city, I'm afraid the sky will change!"

Squatting the cup heavily on the table, Cheng Chumo slowly raised his head and looked at Qin Huaidao who was opposite.

"The Tang Dynasty has just gone through a great battle, and the soldiers in Guanzhong are still replenishing. Except for the soldiers who maintain the order of the imperial city, there are not many available soldiers. Instead, these sneaky guys can take advantage of it!"

"I have beheaded disobedient barbarians, but my hands have not beheaded rebels who intend to rebel!"

"The Great Tang Imperial City cannot be lost in the hands of this group of hearsay people."

After the words fell, Qin Huaidao's complexion changed, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Cheng, be careful!"

"If I have the opportunity to meet His Majesty, maybe I can save some points in advance, and I can give a warning in advance, so that His Majesty can settle down early."

The wine bowl smashed into half a bowl of fermented rice on the opposite side, Cheng Chumo slightly turned his head to look around, and lowered his voice.

"Your Majesty... is ill."

"I heard that Dad said..."
