Chapter 574 On Taotie’s Self-cultivation (56)
Song Chaoye sighed and sat on the edge of the bed.
"You knew you were going to court today, but you drank so much with King Zhan yesterday?"
“It’s been so long since we’ve been together, it’s really impudent.”
After finishing dressing up, Song Chaoye yawned and forced himself to listen to all the ministers' presentations.
When it was about to end, the historian of Kyoto Nakashu stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
"Report."
"Your Majesty, when I was sorting out the rumors of the people in Kyoto yesterday, I discovered that the strange things that happened between Hanyang and Zhuhe have spread to Kyoto. I don't know who spread the word among the people. The frequent occurrence of strange things is a punishment from heaven. Now the rumors are spreading wildly, and the people are afraid Will panic.”
Under the bead curtain, Song Chaoye's face sank slightly.
"Hanyang and Zhuhe are far away from Kyoto. How did the people in Kyoto know about them?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I sent someone to investigate yesterday. What happened in Hanyang City has been spreading in Kyoto for half a month!"
"Half moon?!"
Song Chaoye was furious.
"I just saw the information about the Lord of Hanyang City a few days ago. Are you telling me that this matter has been circulating in Kyoto for half a month?!"
The emperor was deep in the palace, and everything thousands of miles away had to be reported by memorials and governors. Such a big thing had been happening for so long, and it was ten days late to reach the emperor. How could Song Chaoye not be angry?
All the ministers lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.
The Zhongzhou historian continued: "Your Majesty, I believe that the most important thing now is to suppress the rumors and deal with the Zhuhe and Hanyang matters as soon as possible."
Song Chaoye pursed his lips and looked at the dozens of courtiers in the audience with heavy eyes.
"It's up to you to control the rumors at this time. The Zhuhe matter has been handed over to King Zhan for investigation. As for the Hanyang matter, I will personally announce that the Lord of Hanyang City has come to the palace for talks."
This matter can be big or small. The new Emperor Ye of the Song Dynasty has ascended the throne, and the people's hearts are unstable. If rumors are allowed to spread at this time, it will be extremely detrimental to the rule of Song Dynasty Ye.
That afternoon, Song Chaoling got on the carriage heading to Zhuhe. Before the carriage left the city, he was stopped by Li Yan, who was dressed as a cavalry shooter.
"I want to go with you too." "I'm going to handle official business, but you can't go."
"If you don't let me go, I will follow you on horseback. Believe me, you can't get rid of me."
How could Song Chaoling not know Li Yan's temperament? This girl was fearless and was pampered.
Before he could speak again, there was already another person on the carriage. Li Yan just handed the baggage to the driver and walked to the man's side.
"How can you, a man, go out and be surrounded by every woman? I will take care of you."
Song Chaoling rubbed her eyebrows helplessly.
"As long as you don't cause me any trouble."
Li Yan smiled successfully and leaned against Song Chaoling enthusiastically.
"Sit on the opposite side."
The man said calmly.
Li Yan pretended not to hear it at all. Song Chaoling was soft-tempered and would not really get angry with her.
Besides, the dependence value shows that this man has a crush on her. To deal with such a man, you must take the initiative, and playing hard to get will be of no use to him.
Then the next second, there was a harsh beeping sound in my ears.
“Didi——!
Dependency value: 22
Task progress: 12
The dependency value is reduced, host, please pay attention! ”
Li Yan's enthusiastic smile suddenly stiffened.
The sound of decreasing dependence was like a knife cutting into her heart.
What's going on? !
What went wrong? !
It took her a whole year to be recognized and accepted by him, but now just because she clings to him, her dependence value has dropped so much!
Li Yan was cautious. She thought carefully before doing anything, making sure that every word and every action would not make Song Chaoling feel uncomfortable.
