The Empress Dowager looked at Li Hai strangely, her cloudy eyes were deep and worried.
"The empress is the lord of the six palaces, how can she leave the palace easily? How decent is this?"
This reason is certainly not the Queen Mother's real reason. Because it was not the first time that Rong Changan led troops to fight, so why was there such a thing as "decency" at that time
"I am the emperor of all peoples. It is only natural for the queen to go to condolences and relief on my behalf. Compared with people's livelihood, dignity should be less important than people's livelihood, right?"
Li Hai also didn't want to expose his city, otherwise the queen mother would be afraid and wary of herself, which would not be good for him to gradually regain power in the future. Therefore, in front of the queen mother, it is better for him to pretend to be stupid.
"emperor!"
The Queen Mother suddenly became very excited, and took two steps forward to approach Li Hai. Li Hai thought she was going to hit him with a palm, so he leaned back involuntarily, and a frightened wrinkle appeared on his face.
"Do you really not know, or do you pretend not to know?" The Queen Mother lowered her eyes halfway, staring at Li Hai with piercing eyes.
"what do you know?"
After a burst of fear, Li Hai returned to his original calm appearance. He felt a chill down his back.
"Rong Chang'an has thousands of troops under his command, and her most powerful deputy, Song Qiang, is currently staying in the general's mansion; if you let her go out to relieve disasters, you will indirectly let her go out to buy people's hearts. At that time, all people will only know that Rong Chang'an is in Dajing State, but I didn't know you had Li Hai, Lord Li Hai! She has Yan Li to assist her, she has military power, and she has won the hearts of the people. This is a huge threat to the Great Jing Kingdom! Hai'er, have you thought about this?"
In order to show that she was truly thinking of Li Hai, the queen mother used a nickname "Hai'er".
How could Li Hai not know the powerful relationship here!
"I don't think the queen is that kind of person, right? And I believe that Yan Yushi, who is upright and loyal, will not do that kind of troublesome thing! Besides, the queen took the initiative to hand over the soldier talisman to me, It means that the military power is no longer in her hands, she just wants to rebel, what effect can she and Song Qiang have!"
Li Hai pretended to be indifferent, and believed in Rong Changan and Yan Li.
"Haven't you heard the story of chickens and dogs stealing?" The queen mother said earnestly, she didn't want Rong Changan to go out to help the disaster, "I gave you the soldier amulet, and she can steal it back! She has led the army for many years, and all the generals under her are loyal to her. As long as she climbs up and shouts, Song Qiang is not the only one who responds to her!"
Li Haizheng didn't know how to persuade the queen mother to let Rong Changan leave the palace, and Zi Yan who was next to him came up, took the hand of the queen mother, and said very kindly: "Queen mother, the emperor has his own plans, and I don't think the queen can do anything against it." Go! The Empress Dowager can let Empress Rong go out to help the disaster with peace of mind!"
Zi Yan did not expect to encounter such a big resistance from the Queen Mother. If Rong Changan couldn't go out to relieve the disaster, her plan would not be implemented, so she had to unite with Li Hai to persuade the Queen Mother to change her mind.
However, regarding Ziyan's words, the queen mother stared fiercely, like a wounded eagle, shooting her sharp eyes over her tall nose.
"Children's families, what do you know about the powerful relationship between them!"
Muscles on Zi Yan's face twitched red, extremely embarrassed. The Empress Dowager seldom scolded her like this, but in order to allow Chang An to leave the palace, even if she offended the Empress Dowager, she had to persuade her.
Ziyan's eyeballs turned around, and suddenly a bright light burst out.
Plop, Zi Yan actually knelt at the Queen Mother's feet.
"Zi Yan, you are..."
The queen mother was stunned, she didn't understand how Ziyan made such a move.
On the other hand, Li Hai, with his hands behind his back, watched Zi Yan coldly.
"Empress Dowager, since ancient times, the harem has not interfered in political affairs. Since the emperor already has his own ideas, why should the Empress Dowager obstruct them! If the two palaces are at odds for the sake of Rong Chang'an, and the relationship between mother and child is hurt, it will be very bad!"
Zi Yan's words were sincere, even though they were not out of heart, but every sentence was reasonable, and the queen mother had to think deeply about it.
The queen mother was agitated just now, and she spoke recklessly, which offended the current emperor. Although the main political power of Dajing Kingdom is still in the hands of the queen mother, the emperor is still in charge in name, so when it comes to Rong Chang'an's matter, the queen mother is a bit outrageous. If the matter is serious, it may lead to killing each other between the empress dowager's faction and the emperor's faction.
The Empress Dowager's pupils dilated slightly, and a light of astonishment flashed inside.
Zi Yan continued: "So, please take back what you just said!"
Although the words are not pleasant, the truth is there.
"Your Majesty, what Ziyan said is right, Aijia was too excited just now." The Empress Dowager had no choice but to give in at this time.
Li Hai gave Zi Yan an appreciative look. If it wasn't for her, he really didn't know what to do. Confronting the Queen Mother too much will inevitably make the Queen Mother suspicious of him. Without a sense of security, the Queen Mother may use her power to depose him!
Ziyan's words will make the two most powerful people in Dajing Kingdom have a step down.
"The queen mother is also concerned about the country and the people. I know it. The queen mother doesn't have to take it too seriously."
The Empress Dowager's face was gloomy: "Then follow the emperor's will! Let Rong Changan go out to relieve the disaster! Zi Yan, Ai's family is tired, you help Ai's family back to rest for a while. Your Majesty, if you have something to do, go and deal with it first! There's nothing important here!"
Li Hai made a salute: "The Empress Dowager Wanwang cherishes her jade body. I'm going back to my study now!" He secretly cast a smiling look at Zi Yan, then turned and left.
Ziyan supported the queen mother to the couch, the queen mother snorted loudly, so scared that Ziyan fell to her knees again.
"Queen Dowager, just now Ziyan had some conflicts, I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me!"
The Empress Dowager was sitting upright, her gaze was like a torch, her chest was heaving and falling violently, and even the golden headdress on her head was shaking slightly.
"You are my niece, why are you facing outsiders? Don't you know what Rong Chang'an is? I don't let her go out to relieve disasters, so that you can ascend to the throne of queen as soon as possible! You...you let me down so much! "
Zi Yan quickly kowtowed.
"How can Ziyan not understand what the empress dowager means! It's just that the truth I just said is very powerful! If the empress dowager and the emperor are really wary of each other, then I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet each other in the future!"
If it wasn't for this reason, the Queen Mother would have slapped Zi Yan long ago.
Zi Yan continued: "Besides, I asked Rong Changan to go out, and I also have my plan..."
The queen mother let out a "hmm" in her throat, turned her head to the side, lowered her voice, and asked suspiciously, "What are your plans?"
Ziyan turned her head and winked at the maidservant, and then she bowed to the queen mother and her maidservant, left the queen mother's bedroom, and closed the door.
