Yuan Hao looked at the bamboo letter gloomily for a moment, then suddenly said: "Laifu, bring me a bowl and a dagger."
Laifu was shocked: "Your Majesty, what are you—"
"Pick."
Laifu didn't dare to say anything more, and quickly ordered the little eunuch to prepare it, and then sent it to Yuan Hao tremblingly.
Yuan Hao picked up the dagger, cut his wrist and put the blood into the bowl.
Laifu was shocked: "Your Majesty!"
"Shut up!"
Yun Ziheng was also startled for a moment.
Yuan Hao poured out half a bowl of blood and extended his hand to Laifu.
Laifu came forward with a white face, shaking his hands and bandaging Yuan Hao to stop the bleeding.
After treating the wound, Yuan Hao took the empty bright yellow scroll, dipped it in his own blood and wrote the imperial edict in his own handwriting, "Inform King Hongmeng to enter the palace."
Laifu immediately sent someone to deliver the message.
Yun Ziheng stood next to the imperial case, and with his eyes wandering, he had already scanned the contents of the imperial edict written in blood.
He also roughly guessed the reason for inviting King Hongmeng to the palace.
Yun Ziheng looked at the young emperor in front of him, and his heart was shocked.
The Gutian family is ruthless, and brothers, fathers and sons often kill each other for power, but the young emperor in front of him trusted Murong Yu so much that he did it to this extent.
He was really not afraid that Murong Yu would come with his troops and overturn his throne.
But Yun Ziheng suddenly thought that if Murong Yu had coveted the throne, the young emperor would not have grown up as he has now.
Murong Yu had too many opportunities, but he never thought about it.
The love between this uncle and nephew is truly touching.
…
Fifty miles outside Yuezhou City is the camp where the royal division led by Murong Yushang was stationed.
The tents in the camp were densely dotted and arranged very neatly. The patrolling soldiers shuttled through the gaps between the tents, looking serious and cautious.
But the soldiers who were resting in the tents after changing their posts could not help but whisper to each other in low voices.
"Is the news true? The regent is not from the Murong royal family?"
"What Prince Ding said personally on the Yuezhou City Tower that day is so conclusive that it doesn't look like a lie...Think about it again these years, the regent has been in power but has never had any idea about the throne..."
"Maybe it's just because I'm not of royal blood and I know I'm not worthy, so I don't dare to covet him."
Soldiers, you look at me and I look at you, we are all worried.
Ten days ago, Murong Yu gathered an army to attack the city. King Ding stood on the Yuezhou city tower and questioned Murong Yu condescendingly.
They said that Murong Yu was just a scoundrel who used the young emperor to command all parties, while he, Murong Ting, was the orthodox royal bloodline and wanted to clear the emperor.
Yun Zimo fired an arrow in anger and wounded Murong Ting.
But what Murong Ting said took root in the hearts of the three armies.
This act came from cutting down the feudal vassal and suppressing the rebellion.
But what King Ding said suddenly seemed to confuse right and wrong, so that people in the army were panicked.
…
The chief accountant of the three armies, Murong Yu, was sitting in the commander's seat, his face calm and unfazed.
Yun Zimo was very angry, "This Murong Ting has gone too far. He just shouted on the tower that day, but now he has people spreading rumors everywhere and even made up songs to sing..."
"Rumors are spreading in the army, and even the common people are starting to talk about it. If this continues, our morale will be completely gone before the war is over."
Yun Zichen was sitting on the other side with a relatively calm expression, "Don't worry, if you mess up your position, you will be fooled by King Ding."
"How could I not be in a hurry?" Yun Zimo stood up directly and paced back and forth in the tent, "Had I known it, I would have fired a few more arrows that day and killed him directly, instead of letting him make false accusations about these things.
!”
"alright."
Murong Yu pointed his finger at his forehead and said lightly: "How much food and grass are left in Yuezhou City? Can we detect it?"
"The secret agent has already spread the news." Yun Zichen replied: "Their food and grass are enough for at least half a year."
After Murong Yu left the capital, he divided his troops into three groups, interrupted the connection between King Ning and King Ding, and sent 80,000 troops to besiege King Ning's fief to wait for work.
However, King Ding Murong Ting was cunning enough and saw the opportunity, so he led his troops to Yuezhou to confront Murong Yu early.
There are now 200,000 troops gathered in Yuezhou City, with strong soldiers and horses.
Zhou Mingkun, the Sima of Yuezhou, had been deliberately trying to break away from the Qian Kingdom in recent years. He had already secretly strengthened the city defenses and had abundant supplies in the city.
Murong Yu also has an army of 200,000, but Yuezhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now the army is still panic-stricken, and the war situation has become anxious.
The longer the war here drags on and the rumors cannot be resolved, it is definitely not a good thing for them.
Yun Zimo looked at Murong Yu's calm posture and felt that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was.
He was almost dying of anxiety.
After leaving the Zhongjun tent, Yun Zimo took a deep breath and said, "It turns out that fighting is so frustrating."
He thought he could kill happily, but he thought too much.
"Murong Ting really has a dark heart." Yun Zimo frowned, "How could you post such a message to slander Ninth Brother? What's funny is that some people believe it!"
"The rumors he spun are so vivid that it is normal for some people to believe them." Yun Zichen said lightly: "Even the person with whom His Highness's mother-in-law had an affair at the time said she had a good nose and eyes."
At first, King Ding sneered and questioned him on the tower.
Later, rumors spread everywhere, saying that the person who had an affair with Murong Yu's mother-in-law was the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army. He had a name and a date.
After Murong Yu was born in the cold palace, how did the commander of the imperial army support their mother and son, and how they met at night.
When the rumor first spread, it was still manageable, but after a few days, all kinds of filthy words became rampant.
If the source cannot be eliminated, the elimination will be incomplete.
Yun Zichen even doubted whether it was true if he said it so vividly.
But Yun Zimo obviously did not have this suspicion. He only felt that Murong Ting was despicable, shameless, dirty and not a human being.
In the main account, Murong Yuwei closed his eyes. When he was alone, the calmness around him gradually disappeared, and his eyes became gloomy and terrifying.
Dragons have reverse scales, and anyone who touches them will die.
Things like his childhood and his mother and concubine were all his fault.
"Leng Xiao." Murong Yu's voice was cold, "If there are any commentators in the army, their tongues will be pulled out and they will be killed without mercy."
"My subordinate understands!" Leng Xiao responded in a deep voice, and then said: "What about the people running around outside?"
Among the refugees, there are also people who pass it on orally and vividly.
Talk about how Murong Yu watched his mother having an affair with a wild man when he was a child, and also watched out for them.
It was said that Murong Yu even called that wild man his father in order to survive.
These words all sound good.
More malicious and filthy statements abound.
Ignorant people spread the word by word of mouth.
They also don’t think about who stabilized the border defenses and drove out the barbarians, calmed the country and allowed them to live in peace.
Now who caused them to lose their home and live a wandering life again.
Instead, they use slanderous words and treat other people's private matters...even private matters that are not sure true or false as a joke!
"Perhaps my king has been in the imperial court for too long." Murong Yu smiled lightly: "Let the people on the border of Yuezhou forget what my king used to be."
He is the Shura God of Killing who climbed up from hell, and he doesn't care about being stained with blood.
Murong Yuzhi gave a one-word order: "Kill."
Next, the entire camp was dark.
Because of the rumors, hundreds of soldiers were executed with their tongues pulled out. The cruel methods silenced the soldiers, causing them to be extremely fearful and they no longer dared to speak rashly.
None of the surrounding refugees who spread the rumors vividly were spared.
Anyone who dared to discuss the regent's life experience would be killed on the spot.
In just three days, the rumors that were flying all over the place suddenly disappeared.
At least, no one dares to discuss it openly.
All the surrounding towns, large and small, were silent, frightened by Murong Yu's cold methods.
Yun Zimo was also a little scared.
He had never seen Murong Yu like this before.
Killing the unarmed refugees...
But Yun Zichen's words woke him up: "If they had restrained their words and deeds, they would not have fallen to this point. Sometimes words are more terrifying than real swords and guns."
"If these rumors are not suppressed and continue to destabilize the army for a long time, it will give the king an opportunity to take advantage of."
"But now -" Yun Zimo gritted his teeth, "Even if the killing is temporarily suppressed, those people may not dare to think about it."
"Yes, they will think in their hearts, but they dare not change their minds again in a short period of time, whether it is out of fear or something."
"There is no pure black and white in this world. It is impossible to give up half of the country for the lives of three or two people. Someone must shed blood and sacrifice to lay the foundation for the future." Yun Zichen looked at the setting sun on the horizon like blood, "No matter whether they are innocent or not
