The news leaked and the city was full of ups and downs.

The panic of war lingered in the hearts of the people of the imperial city who didn't know the truth.

Rumors abounded among the major wine shops.

The food markets in the imperial city were overcrowded.

Upon hearing the news, Li Tai went straight to the Tai Chi Hall and summoned the ministers of humerus urgently.

One after another, these ministers hurried over.

At the same time, Jingoi Changshi from various places in the imperial city also came along.

Changsun Wuji entered the Great Hall and looked at the veterans standing on both sides of the Great Hall and Li Tai, who was pacing at the head of the hall, said.

"His Royal Highness! How could this be?"

"Did the war in the Southwest leak out?"

Fang Xuanling caught a glimpse of Changsun Wuji hurriedly entering the hall, stomped her foot, frowned, and said.

"Hey! Lord Changsun, your health matters!"

"You can rest at ease, we are here in Chaotang."

After that, stepped forward, holding on to the weak bones.

Changsun Wuji looked anxious, patted his own hand and said.

"Duke Lai, this is a big deal, how can the old man do nothing?"

"How is the situation in the imperial city now?"

Ta Ta Ta.

As soon as the voice fell, a rush of footsteps came.

Under the gaze of the court ministers, Ichigo Gobei swiftly stepped inside, kneeling halfway on the Great Hall, cupped fist anxiously said.

"His Royal Highness! The people of the imperial city are looting food, and the West Market is overcrowded. Zhu Bancang sits on the ground and raises prices. The price of food has tripled!"

As soon as the voice fell, messy footsteps sounded outside the hall.

"His Royal Highness! To the south of the imperial city, many people fight to buy food."

"In the entire market, fighting incidents bloomed everywhere."

"Vaguely out of control!"

Before anyone arrives, an anxious voice has already come!

While talking, the two Jinwu Chiefs of Guard and Shi Chang knelt on the ground.

The other Jingoi Changshi who was accompanying him glanced at Li Tai who was pacing and said.

"Return to Your Highness!"

"Many families bullied the grain market and sold them at high prices for the second time!"

The entire imperial city grain market was in chaos.

The heavy report of this First Stage only made Li Tai breathless.

The ministers standing on both sides of the Great Hall, after listening to these reports, their expressions were extremely solemn, and their hearts were like ants on a hot pot, extremely anxious.

Du Ruhui patted his thigh, twisted the bitter face, said.

"How could this happen in just half a day?"

In the tone of complaining, there was endless anxiety and helplessness.

"Report!"

In an elongated sound, General Zuowei of the Imperial Forest Army strode up to the Great Hall.

"Your Majesty! The West Gate is crowded with a large number of people leaving the city, and the carriages and horses have caused serious congestion at the North Gate."

One wave has not settled, another wave has risen.

The few veterans of your Highness were only shocked to hear! All sides are as earthy.

In just half a day, this Chang'an imperial city was like a mountain and rain was coming, and the sky collapsed.

Where is the appearance of the former imperial city? It's a situation where the end is coming and the torrent of mountains is about to come!

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian and others looked at each other, their faces were full of solemn consternation.

But under the Great Hall, one person showed anxious face, but his heart was full of joy.

This person is just a collection of Hou Jun who is mixed with veterans and hangs his head in silence.

Li Tai in the Great Hall, his handsome face was completely gloomy, his eyes swept across the four generals who were kneeling on the hall, and shouted.

"Who is it! Who released the news?"

Hearing this, the three general Jin Wuwei who was in charge of the order of the imperial city bowed their heads.

An officer frowned into the word Sichuan, pondered for a moment, and said.

"Returning to Your Highness, the news seems to have spread sporadically from wine shops and tea shops."

"As for which one, the final general... the final general does not know."

Changsun Wuji walked tremblingly for two steps, looking at Li Tai who was angry in the hall, and said slowly.

"Your Highness!"

"This restaurant and teahouse is a gathering place for people of all colors, a mixture of fish and dragons."

"There are still rumours that this imperial city, Chang'an, is completely messed up!"

Gao Shilian also stood up, groaning.

"Nowadays, it is neither a year of famine nor a continual war."

"The people who panic are only the direction of the rumors. The rumors continue and the people's hearts are panicked."

"As the saying goes, the people take food as their heaven, and the people are looting food like this, but worry about the lack of storage."

"The most urgent task is to first rectify the speculative people who have made a lot of money and build the prestige!"

What the two veterans said all made sense.

Rumors are cured!

Those who drive up prices must be dealt with!

Standing on the Great Hall, Li Tae furiously brushed his sleeves, stood with his back, and shouted.

"The generals listen to the order!"

"Immediately, arrest the speculative vendor, big business!"

"Regardless of status, arrested and brought to justice."

Having said that, Tang Hao looked at the Yulin Army General Zuowei, a sharp look flashed across his eyes, and said.

"Post a notice to tell the people not to panic. The war in the Southwest is purely fictional."

Speaking of this, Li Tai paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

"Take a thorough investigation of wine shops, tea houses and other venues."

"Once you find someone who deceives the crowd, ask them in the street, you can't make mistakes!"

The four generals who were kneeling on the ground took the order and got up and slowly exited the Great Hall.

After the four generals left, the dignified expressions on the faces of the ministers slowly eased.

Li Tai glanced at the few people present, then glanced at Hou Junji intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes shone brightly and he said in a deep voice.

"General Hou, the chaos in the imperial city is your negligence in charge of the imperial guard!"

"Now, are you still standing here with folded arms!"

With a sharp shout, Hou Junji hurriedly walked out of the crowd and said.

"His Royal Highness calm down!"

"At the end, I will mobilize elites to rectify the imperial city and soothe people's hearts."

After all, Hou Junji slowly walked out of the hall, and when he walked out of the hall door, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
