Chapter 102: Making Rumors
Chapter 102:
The reason why Yang Su rumored that she had something to do with Yi Fan was simply to force Yi Fan to rebel. However, once rumors spread, they would be out of control.
As the spread became Yang Su's use of beauty tricks against Yi Fan in order to get Yi Fan's help. This was unexpected by Yang Su. Perhaps it was expected that in order to rebel against Tang and restore the country, Yang Su would have no choice but to gain a little reputation.
Speaking of rumors, the city of Chang'an is like this, and it has not yet been settled. Somehow, the incident of Yi Fan being trapped in the palace was passed down by the people.
An old Taoist with a fairy-like manner gently stroked his beard and stood not far from the imperial city. Looking at the imperial city, he sighed repeatedly. Soon after, he attracted the attention of others.
The person who was interested in the fun asked, "Why did the Taoist priest sigh? But what's wrong?"
"Oh..." The old Taoist looked at the imperial city and shook his head again, sighed again: "It's a sin!"
The troublemaker looked at the imperial city and the old Taoist again, remembering the little god trapped in the imperial palace. Seeing the old Taoist like this, is it related to this matter?
"Why is Taoist Master? Can you explain it to us?"
At this time, several curious people were attracted by the old Taoist, all looking at the old Taoist.
The old Taoist looked around for a week and saw that there were not many people, but there were enough people, so he said, "Oh... I'm a sin!"
"Master, please stop committing evil. Tell me what's going on? Why do you commit evil?"
"Oh," the old Taoist sighed again, "I believe you all know that the current emperor has left the little god in the palace, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"This little god is a disciple of Daozu. The emperor's actions will probably cause trouble, and he is afraid that it will affect us ordinary people at that time!"
After the old Taoist finished speaking, he shook his head and left with a sigh. He left a few perverts looking at each other, thinking that what the old Taoist said seemed to make sense.
The guy who asked the question before seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped his thigh and said in panic: "Oh no, something big is going to happen."
This man was shocked and scared everyone to the point of being shocked. When he came back to his senses, someone asked, "Brother, have you made it clear, what big thing is going to happen?"
The others also echoed: "That's it, that's it."
The good-willed person said, "Do you still remember the locust plague in the second year of the throne of the priest?"
"Of course I know that there is no grass left where the locust passes, and the crops are not harvested. The emperor also swallowed a living locust in front of the people of the world."
The buzzer nodded when he heard this, then approached a few people and lowered his voice, "Do you still remember who was trapped in the palace at that time?"
After hearing this, several people thought about it. After a long time, one person was shocked: "You mean the Supreme... um..."
The merciful person hurriedly covered the speaker's mouth, made a swearing move to him, and then let go of his hand.
After this person reminded him, the other few people understood that there was also one person trapped in the palace back then, which was Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
There were rumors about the locust plague that year, because Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father. Now that Li Shimin imprisoned Yi Fan, the disciple of Taoist ancestor, in the palace, wouldn’t that mean that there would be greater disasters in the world?
This kind of scene can be seen in many places in Chang'an City. I saw the Taoist who had a fairy-like Taoist spirit before, and said the same words in another place. Some people also led to the locust plague and Li Yuan's trapped in the palace back then.
Just when people were frightened, they thought that something big disaster would happen in the world. At this time, an incense burner exploded in Laojun Temple, the largest Taoist temple in Chang'an City.
It is said that a concubine in the palace was burning incense to the Grand Lord at that time, begging him to get the concubine to be pregnant with a dragon seed as soon as possible.
Logically speaking, the Taishang Laojun doesn't care about giving birth. However, he has another identity, that is, the ancestor of the Li family.
As the ancestor of the Li family, he naturally has to bless the Li family with many children and grandchildren, not to mention that he has to be even more careful when he is a god.
I don’t know whether this concubine was lucky, coincidence, or someone deliberately did it. When she inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner, several incense sticks burned out. Somehow, the incense burner suddenly exploded with a "boom".
The concubine was overwhelmed by the explosion of incense ash at that time, and was rescued later and was unconscious. She was covered in incense ash and didn't know what the situation was.
This matter spread rapidly in Chang'an City, and in conjunction with Yi Fan's trapped in the palace. People began to rumor that Li Shimin imprisoned Yi Fan, the disciple of Taoist ancestor, which made Taoist ancestor angry. When their Li family burned incense, they would blow up the incense burner to show their dissatisfaction.
Needless to say, what happened in Chang'an City was all intentional, because Yi Yun did it to arouse public grievances and use the power of the people to force Li Shimin to release Yi Fan.
Fighting with Li Shimin in Chang'an City is definitely a death-seeking act. Because there is no power in Chang'an City that can compete with Li Shimin. If there is, then there will only be the people in the whole city.
The Taoist priest was dressed by the Beggars' Sect. Not to mention, these originally skinny beggars, as long as they wash up and put on Taoist robe, they look a bit like a fairy-like appearance.
The permanent population of Chang'an City in the early Tang Dynasty was only a few hundred thousand, far from the peak of its peak, the population exceeded one million, so there are actually many places in Chang'an City that are sparsely populated, or even uninhabited.
Yongyangfang, the southwest corner of Chang'an, is such a place. This is the most remote and unwelcome place in the entire Chang'an City. Now it has become a gathering place for the Beggars' Sect.
In a dilapidated house, several Taoist priests with fairy spirits entered the lobby and saluted a young man at the head of the upper seat: "I pay homage to the gang leader."
Needless to say, this young man was Yi Yun. Yi Yun waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, how are the things going?"
"Return to the gang leader, as you told me, the matter has been done."
"Okay, thank you all for your hard work, let's go and rest! Let's have another big game tonight."
"Yes, gang leader."
Without further ado, the night was getting dark.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and the people are worried when they sleep. Because Li Shimin imprisoned Yi Fan, the little god, would cause dissatisfaction from heaven and cause any disasters. At that time, the people will still suffer.
In the dark night, many black shadows placed black Kongming lanterns into the sky not far from the imperial city.
These Kongming lanterns are different from the common ones. Because the surface is covered with black pigment, only a few holes that are slightly larger than the needle hole are left to ensure the oxygen burning of Kongming lanterns.
It is difficult to find their traces in the dark. Even if the firelight is seen through the holes, because it is too small, people will think it is caused by animals like fireflies.
Since the wind direction was tested in advance, most Kongming lanterns flew silently toward the imperial city. If someone with good eyesight saw it, they would definitely find that there were something hanging under the Kongming lantern.
