The lights of the palace flickered in the night, and Lin Yi stood at the window of the inn, gazing at the distant and profound starry sky, feeling a surge of inexplicable thoughts in his heart. He sighed softly and turned to walk towards the bed, preparing to rest. However, just as he was about to lie down, a hurried knocking suddenly sounded from outside the door.
"Lord An, urgent news to report!" The anxious voice of the messenger came through the door.
Lin Yi was startled and quickly put on his coat, opened the door, and asked, "My lord messenger, what urgent matter brings you here in the dead of night?"
messenger His expression turned serious as he took a deep breath and said, "Lord An, there have been widespread rumors in the capital recently, with someone secretly spreading falsehoods, claiming that you have ulterior motives and intend to rebel."
Lin Yi frowned upon hearing this, his face instantly turning dark. "Where did these rumors come from? How dare they slander a high-ranking official of the court in such a way!"
messenger Shaking his head, he replied, "I'm not sure either, but this matter is not to be taken lightly. Your Highness may trust you wholeheartedly, but in these turbulent times, people's hearts are hard to read."
Lin Yi fell silent for a moment, a determined light flashing in his eyes. "Messenger, please convey to Your Highness that I, An Lushan, am loyal to the court and have no ulterior motives. These rumors are nothing but the work of petty people, and I have my ways to deal with them."
The messenger nodded. "Very well, I will relay your message to Your Highness. Lord An, you must also be careful."
After seeing off the messenger, Lin Yi sat on the bed, his heart in turmoil. He knew that in these chaotic times, human hearts were unpredictable, and a slight misstep could lead to a point of no return. However, he was even more aware that he bore the heavy responsibility of safeguarding the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and must not waver because of these rumors.
"Power is a double-edged sword, capable of creating heroes and destroying them." Lin Yi silently recited the old man's teachings in his heart, a determined glint in his eyes. He knew he had to be more careful, use his power wisely for the benefit of the people, and be vigilant against its corruption, maintaining a clear conscience.
The next morning, Lin Yi rose early, finished his morning routine, and went to the inn's hall. He was preparing to go to the palace to report the matter to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, and request that Your Highness thoroughly investigate the source of the rumors.
In a side hall of the palace, Lin Yi met Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji. After kneeling and paying his respects, he reported the events of the previous night to Your Highness in detail.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji After listening, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "An Lushan, I know your loyalty, but if these rumors are not contained, they may escalate. You must handle this carefully, find the source of the rumors, and clear your name."
Lin Yi nodded, "I obey! I will do my utmost to find the source of the rumors and clear my name!"
After leaving the palace, Lin Yi began his investigation. He delved into the folk, conversing with the people to understand their views and attitudes toward the rumors. At the same time, he secretly observed the movements within the court, searching for clues to the rumors.
After several days of investigation, Lin Yi finally discovered the source of the rumors - it turned out to be some disgruntled officials and noble offspring spreading rumors in order to vie for power and status. They used Lin Yi's military achievements and prestige in the borderlands to slander him, attempting to undermine his position and reputation in the court.
Lin Yi sneered in his heart, knowing that these people were digging their own graves. He immediately reported the matter to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, and requested that Your Highness punish these rumor-mongers severely.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji was furious and immediately ordered the arrest of those spreading rumors, subjecting them to severe punishment. The rumor storm finally subsided, and Lin Yi regained the trust and respect of the court and the people.
However, Lin Yi did not relax his vigilance because of this. He knew that this chaotic world is full of various challenges and opportunities, and he must always maintain a clear mind and firm beliefs to deal with these challenges and opportunities. He continued his investigation and actions, contributing his strength to the prosperity and stability of the Tang Dynasty.
