In the court, when Chen Mo arrived, there was only a gloomy atmosphere. The three ministers and nine ministers all looked depressed. These days, the rumors in Chang'an City have not stopped. From the three ministers to the nine ministers, each of them has become someone else's after-dinner criticism.

The target is Chen Mo, who was attacked by rumors at the beginning. Now no one pays attention to it. Even if they do occasionally, they are mostly good words. After all, there are such a large group of unscrupulous people in the DPRK. Why should one say that he is running around for the people?

, even if it is criticized by thousands of people, it is still busy with disaster relief, and those who are engaged in people's livelihood are unscrupulous people?

Using all the ministers in the court to highlight Chen Mo's stature, maybe God will punish this group of unscrupulous people, not to mention the common people, many scholars are against these **** in the court

*I don’t like it very much, otherwise there wouldn’t have been the scene where the scholars blocked the road to ask for help just after Chen Mo came back yesterday.

Seeing Chen Mo going to court, a group of courtiers rushed to greet him.

"Bo Dao..." Zhao Wen looked at Chen Mo and said with some guilt: "Nowadays, there are many rumors coming from nowhere in Chang'an City. I hope Bo Dao can investigate this matter thoroughly."

When Chen Mo was framed by rumors, Zhao Wen did not stand up. Now he has experienced the pain of rumors. Facing Chen Mo now, he feels somewhat guilty and guilty.

"Don't worry, Situ. This matter is already known. I came back this time just to deal with this matter. Someone started plotting against me two months ago. I thought they were just coming for me, but now it seems that they are targeting the whole world."

You came from the court." Chen Mo nodded and solemnly said: "This matter must be found out!"

Huangfu Song opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. His relationship with Chen Mo was not as close as Zhao Wen's. Yesterday, when he went to see Chen Mo, he was rejected, but at this time, he couldn't save his face to plead for mercy.

They knew something about Chen Mo's rumors before, but when the rumors came out later, Huangfusong thought it might be Chen Mo's fault, but just like Chen Mo had no way to deal with the rumors before, they had no evidence to prove that it was Chen Mo.

But looking at Chang'an, apart from Chen Mo, there seems to be no one else who can do this kind of thing. And judging from the results, the biggest benefit of this incident is that it helps clear Chen Mo's name.

But even if it was really Chen Mo, there was nothing we could do to him. Just like when Chen Mo was attacked by rumors two months ago, Chen Mo didn't say a word and looked like he was unlucky. Many people, including Huangfu Song, were there.

Inside, they were all gloating about their misfortune. Now, regardless of whether Chen Mo did this or not, they seemed to have no choice but to admit that they were unlucky.

When the other officials heard this, they felt somewhat guilty. They naturally knew about Chen Mo's rumors, and some people were involved. Now that Chen Mo is talking about this matter, many people feel that something is wrong.

"If we want to investigate, we must start from the root. I feel that the person who spread the rumors two months ago is the culprit of this matter. If it can cause such a big incident, I suspect that there must be people from the government involved. As long as these people are involved,

If you find out, the rumors will be disproven!" Chen Mo looked at the ministers and said with a smile: "What do you think?"

Keep silent after being beaten? That's not Chen Mo's character. He didn't move before because if he investigated deeply, the Manchu minister would definitely stop him, and it would not be good for his reputation. But now, if you want to investigate, start by spreading rumors.

It was found on my body that I hold the military and political power in Guanzhong, so I deserve to be scolded? To be plotted against?

If we stop the matter this time and make peace with it, something might happen next time and we have to hurt them, otherwise the matter will never be over.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, and finally Huangfu Song nodded. Obviously, although Chen Mo didn't say anything about the previous actions of those people, they offended Chen Mo. The people in the court more or less provided convenience, so Chen Mo should say that this time

Making the matter so big may hurt innocent people, but that is not necessarily the case. Even if they are not involved, these people have the intention of adding fuel to the flames. Chen Mo is just targeting the rumors against the three gongs and nine ministers. He is not saying that other people are innocent. That is because these officials

The children are older, and their reputation is too high, which may not be a good thing for themselves, and if they are pursued too far, it will make everyone in the court panic.

"I'll leave everything to Uncle Dao." Zhao Wen sighed. Usually, Chen Mo's image of being a gentle and gentle man gave him a lot of misunderstandings. This time, he felt Chen Mo's ferocious side and lifted the table with a smile on his face.

, but everyone has nothing to say, this is much more difficult to deal with than Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and the like.

"The autumn harvest is coming soon. This is a drought year. There are many things to deal with and I have no time to spare. How can Duke Yuan Chang help me with this matter?" Chen Mo looked at Zhong Yao and said with a smile.

"That's fine." Faced with Chen Mo's invitation, Zhong Yao could only nod. This incident was actually instigated by the Guanlong clan. He was really affected by Chi Yu, but looking at Chen Mo's current intentions, it was obvious that he wanted to

Taking this opportunity to split the court and disperse the originally united courtiers, Zhong Yao, as the representative of the Yingchuan scholars, obviously Chen Mo wanted Zhong Yao to stand up and help him and lead the Yingchuan scholars in the court to compete with the Guanlong scholars

.

And Zhong Yao has no choice. If he doesn't do it, he believes that Chen Mo is not a good man and his reputation will be directly destroyed. At that time, even if he resigns and returns to Yingchuan, his reputation will not be the same.

I'm afraid it will become the biggest stain in my life.

However, Zhong Yao is not too angry. First of all, this matter involves too many areas. If he really refuses to give up, it will be even more tragic in the end. Chen Mo needs the court to fight for more political interests for himself, so he will not

Allowing the court to be destroyed, secondly, since Chen Mo's method is to win over himself, he will definitely leave a way out for himself. Thirdly, Zhong Yao is quite impressed by Chen Mo's calmness, skill and decisiveness in this incident.

Appreciation, this is the courage and means that people who do great things should have.

Now that Chen Mo has decided to separate the forces in the court, even if Zhong Yao disagrees, Chen Mo will definitely push other forces out. In this case, why not do it himself?

The ministers had no objections to this. After suffering from rumors for two months, their reputations were almost gone. At this time, everyone just wanted it to end as soon as possible.

However, Chen Mo was not in a hurry and asked Zhong Yao to thoroughly investigate the authenticity of these rumors one by one, provide evidence to the ministers to refute the rumors, and at the same time ordered people to start a thorough investigation into the matter that framed him in the first place.

In fact, when Chen Mo's rumors emerged, Chen Mo was already muddying the waters while secretly investigating the root cause, but he never took any further action.

Now that the time is right, the evidence found at that time and the arrested people can naturally be brought out. Of course, this requires a process in front of the officials. There is no rush. Anyway, it is not you who is anxious now.

The rumors in Chang'an City began to stabilize a bit as Zhong Yao continued to find evidence to prove that the rumors were false. However, the voices of doubt did not disappear, and some people asked the court to show the person behind the scenes to prove themselves.

"General, this is the information sent by Taichang and others. He should be the mastermind behind this rumor." Zhong Yao handed a list to Chen Mo, knelt down and said, "I wonder what my lord wants to do with it?"

Chen Mo looked at the list and smiled. The list was not complete, but the matter had reached this stage and it was indeed time to put an end to it. He could not really abolish the imperial court by taking it lightly.

"This Hou Wen, during this disaster relief process, he violated the law many times. He did not distribute food on time and even withheld food and grass." Chen Mo clicked on the first name, shook his head and said: "I don't know why such unscrupulous people do this.

Become a Shiyushi?"

"This man's virtue has been criticized by others, but the Hou family is also from the Fufeng family." Zhong Yao nodded.

"How dare his family be able to suppress the crime of openly framing the third prince of the dynasty, Jiu Qing?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically.

Zhong Yao nodded to express his understanding, and if he wanted to fight, he would fight the biggest one. Who asked Hou Wen to participate in this matter, and he had always been against Chen Mo before?

"In addition..." Chen Mo crossed out two more names and said, "Let's settle this case with these three people. However, if this list is secretly released, it can also serve as a deterrent to these people."

Zhong Yao looked at Chen Mo, nodded deeply and said, "The general is wise."

These people on this list are equivalent to being abandoned. Chen Mo only chose three people to close the case, which is equivalent to letting these people go. If these people don't know, they may follow Chen Mo in the future, but this list

Letting them out is tantamount to telling them that they were treated as abandoned children, and Chen Mo spared their lives. Invisibly, Chen Mo will have many more supporters. In this court, Chen Mo's power will be even greater. The Guanzhong gentry have experienced

This matter makes it difficult to unite to deal with Chen Mo.

This move directly separated the Guanlong family. It was cruel enough, but also clever enough.

"The rest is up to Mr. Lao Yuanchang." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"That's what it is." Zhong Yao smiled and nodded, stood up and said goodbye: "It's not too late, this matter can't go on anymore, Yao will do it now."

Zhong Yao is also one of the people who suffered from the rumors. Now that Chen Mo has spoken out, this matter is obviously over. Zhong Yao is naturally a little impatient.

Watching Zhong Yao's leaving figure, Chen Mo stretched his muscles. After this incident, the court should be much more stable. However, the emperor's absence in the court is somewhat unfair after all. This year's drought, although it is a disaster, is

It also gave Chen Mo the opportunity to sort out Guanzhong. As long as the situation in Guanzhong is not too bad in the coming year, Guanzhong will be quickly stabilized. At that time, he should consider taking back the emperor from Cao Cao.

"My Lord, urgent report from Yanzhou!" Dian Wei came in carrying a roll of bamboo slips and bowed to Chen Mo.
