Chapter 336 The rumor controller
The throne ceremony three days later was really hasty.
With the power of a monk, even if the time is short, as long as you spend money and invest, you can create a very good scene.
However, this "good" is only relative to ordinary people.
You should know that the throne ceremony in Yan State was also arranged by a large number of monks. The time for the arrangement was recorded in the year, and the scene must be grand.
But no matter what, today, everyone was not watching the scene.
Li Chengzong succeeded to the throne and became the first puppet emperor in the history of Dayan.
This can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
In the past, although the status of the royal family and the court was gradually suppressed after the rise of Yunxiao Sect, no matter what, the emperor's authority was still there and still held a considerable part of the real power. At least, in Jinzhou and Jizhou, the imperial court's government orders were well-off. The Yulin Imperial Guards, the four major families, and the garrison troops in various places still obeyed the command of His Majesty the Emperor.
After Li Shiwen's death, the four major families that were originally used to control the court suffered heavy losses; the Yulin Imperial Army, which represented the most powerful military force of the royal family, was almost wiped out, and the two biggest reliances of the royal family were gone. Even whether it was the court or the Li family, it was impossible to even avenge the previous emperors.
In this context, what kind of person is Li Chengzong in the upper rank? Will there be still people who can't see clearly?
This is the puppet emperor supported by the Lu family and the Yunxiao Sect.
The history of the Great Yan has opened a new chapter. The influence of the royal family, at least the influence of the Li family, has completely declined.
Countless people cried bitterly for it.
The Li royal family has controlled the Yan Dynasty for more than three thousand years, and always has a foundation and prestige. It is normal for those who have left behind in the previous dynasty or those who have received favor from their ancestors to shed tears for it.
But most people recognize the situation clearly.
Even if I couldn't recognize it clearly for a moment, when Li Chengzong ascended the throne, the Qingfeng Sect and Yunxiao Sect cultivators guarding beside me were enough to wake most of them up.
However, Lu Wenen, who is in charge of security work, still dare not be careless.
Before, he quickly integrated all subordinate departments of the Tingwei Mansion, the arresting office and the Annexe Department, these two were the top priority. Lu Wenen had been able to control them all within a few days, and it took a lot of effort.
Thanks to the death of Tingwei Guan Leping on the front line of Pingzhou, Lu Wenen is a serious left supervisor of Tingwei and is a senior executive in the Tingwei system. He has been in the middle of Tingwei system for a few years, not to mention his connections, at least he is familiar with each other. In the Tingwei Mansion, there are also people who are also confused now. Many people realize that the court has changed and want to find a dependent, then Lu Wenen is obviously the best choice.
But no matter how much benefit it is, such a short time can end the chaotic situation and rebuild the capabilities of the Tingwei Mansion into a rope for my use, which itself proves Lu Wenen's ability.
In the past few days, he led the Tingwei Mansion to check all the places where Yandu might cause trouble in the throne ceremony, eliminating some hidden dangers.
But after all, the time is too short, and he cannot guarantee that the calculation formula will not happen any chaos in this throne ceremony.
On the surface, in addition to the many Qingfeng Sect monks in the Yunxiao Sect, he also secretly led a trustworthy team, guarding the surrounding area, striving for possible problems, and first stifle them in the bud.
Otherwise, once something unexpected happens, it will alarm the monks of the sects on the surface, which will be considered a mistake in his work.
Fortunately, the bad situation did not happen, and the entire throne ceremony went smoothly.
He breathed a little relieved, but Lu Wenen didn't relax for too long.
The next period of time will be the most workload.
Li Chengzong succeeded to the throne, but this incident would not have had much impact. He was the son of the former emperor Li Shiwen, and he had ascended the throne many years ago. After Li Shiwen's death, Li Chengzong's succession to the throne was the most open and upright one.
There was some turmoil in Yandu, but it was only because of the turmoil caused by the change of the emperor himself. When Li Chengzong was the crown prince, some people did not support him and were hostile to him; some people did not accept the Li Dynasty becoming a puppet; some people simply wanted to make trouble in the chaos and achieve their ulterior motives...
No matter what, these are all a grudge and cannot cause any climate.
But it should be noted that in three months, Li Chengzong will abdicate the throne to the Lu family, but the matter of keeping the strict confidentiality stage is still in the strict confidentiality stage.
At present, this news is very strictly controlled. Even the Lu family members know about this matter, there are no more than ten people. On the Yunxiao Sect, only the senior leaders of the sect have the right to learn about this news. As for the two major forces, except for Li Chengzong, the party involved, no one knows about this matter.
This is a good thing at the moment.
As far as Lu Wenen knows, the matter was announced, and it is estimated that it will be in the early stage of the abdication ceremony. Many people who are really good at making trouble will have a very short preparation time when the news comes so suddenly, and their ability to make trouble will naturally decrease significantly.
However, this does not relieve the intensity of the matter.
Even the matter of pushing the prince up to be a puppet emperor can cause some storm, let alone even stripping off the puppet emperor's skin.
At that time, I'm afraid Lu Wenen will be under great pressure. He will be busy in the next two or three months, and he will be much busier than in the previous few days.
What's more, there is another thing that cannot be ignored is that the abdication ceremony needs to be prepared. It is not a matter of two people participating. Preparing the ceremony requires a lot of people to work. Although they will not tell them the truth, what they do is always here, and there are always smart people who know what they are doing.
As long as someone can guess it and go out and talk nonsense, rumors will naturally appear like this.
If it was a rumor, it would be fine, but this matter is true...
In addition, as the abdication ceremony gets closer, it is impossible to keep only a few people aware of this matter forever. In this way, as more and more people know, the risk of news leaking and being known to outsiders will become greater and greater.
In short, based on Lu Wenen's experience, it is almost impossible to keep it completely unknown.
It's just how long it can be hidden.
...
Things are worse than Lu Wenen's thoughts.
After the slightly simple ceremony of the throne, only one and a half months later, he and his comrades in the secret front heard vaguely that in Yandu, rumors about the Lu family wanting to be emperor were secretly conveyed.
Wen En was not careless about this matter.
On the one hand, he was already dispatching people to control the spread of rumors, and on the other hand, he immediately reported the news to the senior management of the family.
The person who connects with him is nothing but his cousin, Lu Weiwen.
Weiwen said: "The patriarch already knows this. Let me help you. If you have anything to help, what people over you can do, you can tell me. The family and the 500 elite monks of Qingfeng Sect are all ready, and the Yunqi team is ready."
"I'm not polite to you." Lu Wenen and his cousin had not seen each other for a long time. He has been working in Yandu for a long time. This time, his cousin came to Yandu with the family's fleet army, but both of them have heavy responsibilities.
After all, they are no longer the carefree young people who have only thought about their practice. Both of them have grown into the backbone of the Lu family.
He really wanted to find some time to talk about the past with his cousin.
But obviously not now.
"I really have something to ask you to help you right away." Lu Wenen said, and took out a large scroll from the storage bag.
As soon as it unfolded, the topographic map of Yandu was revealed in front of the two of them.
He manipulated several pens out of thin air and quickly circled and drew several dots on the map.
"These points are the source points that we found before that the suspected rumors spread. The time is too short, and we cannot determine where the real source is, but my people have begun to check from the peripheral and some less important places. Whether the spreaders simply hear someone saying it, and then talk to others casually as a topic of conversation, or have ulterior motives, we will arrest the person first and control it, so as not to let the news spread further."
"However, there are a few places here, which are a little more special." With his words, several places on the map were drawn with emphasis.
"Some of these places are more sensitive and are considered to be the residences of big people. I don't know how to use people from the Tingwei Mansion to do it, otherwise it will be easier to leak information. In some places, it is estimated that there may be stronger enemies. Even if I do it myself, I cannot guarantee that the movement and stillness can be controlled to the lowest level..."
Listening to Lu Wenen's introduction, Weiwen hugged her chest with one hand and touched her chin with the other, and was also thinking.
"If you want to do it, use the Cloud Cavalry Team to assault, and we two teams, cultivators who are less than the Golden Pill stage, should be able to directly kill them in one round of raid."
"Well, but in addition to being fast, there is another key: concealment. Don't be too loud, just be as quiet as possible. In addition to being fast and quiet, while keeping two premises, try to keep the living mouth as much as possible. If you kill the wrong person, it will be quite troublesome."
The three words "stay alive" give Lu Weiwen a headache.
She touched the long-blade sword behind her back and said, "I don't know if I can stop it if I take it..."
"Uh..." Lu Wenen was speechless for a moment when he remembered his cousin's fighting style.
After thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, "Anyway... try to do it."
...
No more worries about it, the people from Tingwei's Mansion, who were fighting the outpost, quickly returned the news.
In a Zhao family's property, several people entered, two of them seemed to be Qiming monks from the Zhao family.
There have been rumors in this place. In addition, one of the Qiming monks of the Zhao clan, Zhao Fangzhou, also mentioned the incident of "The Lu family wants to be the emperor by themselves" when chatting with others. The person who heard him say this has been controlled.
Since the location and characters all coincide, Lu Wenen and Lu Weiwen's brother and sister no longer hesitate.
The two of them, with thirty elite monks of the Lu family, rode on Shuiyun Horses and took advantage of the night to fly quickly to the inner city.
The inner city of Yandu is logically impossible to fly. On the one hand, it has laws as a deterrent, and on the other hand, it is a formation that covers the Yandu area. In the inner city area, it has the effect of being forbidden to fly.
However, now the Yandu formation is in the hands of the Lu family.
The Yandu Formation is of high level, and it has put in a lot of effort during construction. It has very good effects and rich functions. One of them is to record authorized monks and spirit beasts, and identify their identities when they fly, so that the effect of forbidden flight will not be exerted on them.
This will be very suitable for law enforcement in the city.
Enemies and prisoners cannot fly, but law enforcement officers can wander in the sky freely, which will definitely be very conducive to arresting and chasing fugitives.
After arriving at the place, they did not rush to take action. Lu Wenen took out a leaf from his arms. With a little spiritual power, the leaf decomposed directly on its own. As his fingers twisted, it turned into a piece of powder and was sprinkled by him.
He closed his eyes, as if he was sensing something carefully.
After a while, he confirmed the target.
"In the lobby room in the front yard, there are seven monks below the foundation building. The Yunqi team went down and covered with silent notes. They broke through the roof and captured them all. Fast and quiet. These two prerequisites should not be forgotten. Try not to kill people while maintaining these two points."
More than thirty Lu family monks nodded cautiously.
Wen En's eyes turned to his cousin again: "Those two monks Qiming are in the same place, let's go down together, I will control you, you can do it."
"good."
After thinking about it, Wen En added with concern: "Don't behead your head."
Weiwen rolled her eyes and said, "I get it!"
"Then let's act."
As soon as this said, Lu Wenen immediately jumped down from the water cloud.
He is a cultivator in the Qiming period, and his speed is faster than that of the Shuiyun Horse. Although the family's Shuiyun Horse herd has begun to cultivate third-level Shuiyun Horses, the number is very rare, and Wen En has not been assigned yet.
Weiwen has one, the one she is riding now.
As Wen En rushed down, she followed closely. In the short distance, she had already surpassed her past.
The third-level water cloud horse explodes at an extremely fast speed.
Below, the people in the room also felt the changes above their heads. But before they could react, they hit a mute note spell.
