Chapter 341 Turbulent Clouds
Various auspicious signs appeared frequently, and Yin Hanzhang sent people to add fuel to the flames. The previous rumors were quickly suppressed.
Zhao Xing also asked Yin Hanzhang to find someone to make up some short stories. For a while, people around Bianjing said that Zhao Xing was the reincarnation of a holy king who came specifically to prosper the Song Dynasty. Some also said that Zhao Xing was the reincarnation of the Buddha. .
Zhao Xing did not stop such remarks, but just enshrined the tortoise shells and other auspicious signs in the Ancestral Temple.
As for the Buddha statue, Zhao Xing ordered the Ministry of Industry to build a temple where the Buddha statue was found and enshrine it.
Although it would cost some money, it would not only dispel the rumors, but also increase his power. Zhao Xing was still happy to spend this small amount of money.

“Pa!”
Ruyu walked into the study, and a teacup flew over and landed at Ruyu’s feet, with pieces and tea splashing everywhere.
“Ah~”
Ruyu was startled, and it took her a while to recover. Looking at her clothes stained by the tea soup, she didn't care. She smiled slightly, stepped over the tea cup fragments, and said, "Why is Mr. Hu so angry? "
"I told you to act early, but you didn't move. Now, people are spreading rumors that the Holy Lord Buddha is the reincarnation of the Buddha. It's too late for you to act," Hu Zhongyan said angrily.
"Master Hu blames us, so didn't Master Hu reveal the death of those exiled officials?"
Ruyu walked up to Hu Zhongyan, stretched out her hand and gently touched Hu Zhongyan With his face on his face, he said: "Mr. Hu, it's now this time, it's better for everyone to be more honest."
Hu Zhongyan knocked off Ruyu's hand, stood up and glared at her, and said: "Be honest? What do you mean? And without faith, how can I trust you?”
"When did we break our word? We originally wanted to wait until Mr. Hu revealed the death of the exiled official before taking action, but Mr. Hu did not take any action. Unexpectedly, the little emperor had some tricks. Even the wizards taught us You can do these little tricks too," Ruyu said with a smile.
"So you're still blaming me?" Hu Zhongyan sneered: "In that case, the cooperation ends here. Don't even think about threatening me with cooperation. If you make me anxious, we will both die together. Just because you hide it well, once the officials know your existence, do you think you can hide it?"
"What did Mr. Hu say? As the saying goes, harmony brings wealth, and we don't let the fish die and the net break the net. Do it.”
Ruyu smiled and said: “Master Hu doesn’t want to cooperate. We can always find someone who is willing to cooperate. But with the little emperor’s temperament, whether this matter has anything to do with Master Hu or not, I’m afraid it is. Everyone will doubt Mr. Hu. Mr. Hu, do you think the little emperor will let you go? "
"It seems that if I cooperate with you, you can keep me," Hu Zhongyan said sarcastically.
"One more friend and one more path." Ruyu smiled and said, "We can do something to attract the little emperor's attention, and then we can slowly think of a solution."
Hu Zhongyan pondered after hearing this. After a while, he said: "Let me see your sincerity first."
"No problem." Ruyu smiled and said: "Master Hu, just wait. It won't be long before Master Hu can see our sincerity."
"I hope, if it's like this time , I will never believe you again until I die.”

"I pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"Without courtesy!"
Zhao Xing helped Minglan up, entered the house, sat down at the head, and said, "I have been a little busy these days. I'm busy and don't have time to come here. I see that you don't look very well. The child has been tormenting you a lot, right? "
"Your Majesty, my concubine has been much better in the past few days, and there is basically no reaction at all. I also showed it to my concubine, and she will recover after a few days of rest." Minglan said.
“That’s good.”
Zhao Xing stretched out his hand and pinched Minglan's face and said, "I have to replenish my face. My face has become thinner and I can't even feel it when I pinch it."
"I feel like I've gained a lot of weight." "Yeah." Minglan said with a slightly red face.
“It’s better to have more meat, I like meat.” Zhao Xing said with a smile.
Minglan couldn't stand it anymore and changed the subject: "Why is your Majesty so free today?"
"Officials also have Xiumu. As an emperor, I should take a rest. You can't be more tired than the ministers. Otherwise, what is the purpose of having so many officials?" Zhao Xing chatted with Minglan for a while and said, "By the way, do you often exchange letters with the old lady?"
Minglan was raised by Mrs. Sheng, and her biological mother was a concubine.
Both Mrs. Sheng and Wei Xiaoniang are not suitable for visiting the palace.
After Minglan became pregnant, Zhao Xing was worried that she would miss her relatives, so he specifically allowed her to communicate with the Sheng family frequently.
That’s not to say that concubines in the harem can’t communicate with their families, but they can’t communicate too frequently.
“A few days ago, I received a letter from my grandmother.” Minglan said with a smile.
"That's good. If you think about it, write more letters. If it doesn't work, you can summon the old lady to the palace. Your brother is still young, so he can take her with him." Zhao Xing said.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
“Why are you so polite to me?” Zhao Xing smiled and said, “By the way, don’t you have a fourth sister? I remember that you married One of your father’s students, right?”
“Yes!” Minglan nodded.
"Enke is about to start now. Will your fourth brother-in-law also participate this time?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?" Minglan asked.
Zhao Xing suddenly chatted with her about Mo Lan and Wen Yanjing, which made her very strange.
It's not that I haven't said this before. When Zhao Xing favored her in the past, he would hug her and talk about the family affairs after he was done.
She and Zhao Xing told some things about their sisters, but Zhao Xing never took the initiative to ask.
Since she became pregnant, Zhao Xing has always liked to say happy things in front of her.
Zhao Xingming knew that she and Mo Lan had a bad relationship, so he shouldn't have mentioned Mo Lan in front of her.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
Zhao Xingchong waved to the palace maid and eunuch standing in the room: "You all should step aside."
"Yes!" Cui's mother He responded and led his servants to retreat.
Zhao Xing told him about a shop where Mo Lan often went to sell the Four Treasures of the Study, but he didn’t tell the rest, and just said that there was something wrong with that shop.
After hearing this, Minglan frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, my fourth sister really likes poetry. I'm not sure whether she just went to buy the Four Treasures of the Study or has something to do with that store. But my grandmother had written a letter before I once mentioned that the fourth sister often went back to Sheng's house during this time."
"Didn't she go back often before?" Zhao Xing asked.
Minglan shook her head and said: "Not really, it's just because of her younger sister. She and the eldest lady don't get along. When her father is not at home, she rarely goes back. I thought she was because The third brother got married, so he often went back to see her. But when I thought about what my grandmother said in her letter, I felt something was wrong. "
"What did the old lady say?"
"Grandma is not. Specifically talking about the fourth sister, but saying that the eldest lady has grown up recently. The fourth sister often visits the house, and she does not come to express a few words of ridicule. Instead, she chats with the fourth sister in private. "
"I understand the temperament of the eldest lady. It is possible not to push and ridicule the fourth sister. It is impossible to talk to the fourth sister calmly without grandmother and father being present."
Zhao Xing frowned slightly. Wrinkle, based on his understanding of Mrs. Wang, he also felt that this situation was impossible.
Did Mo Lan and Mrs. Wang hook up?
If this is true, did Mo Lan do it himself or was he instigated by someone?
If you are instructed by someone, what is the purpose?
