"Your Majesty..." The governor wanted to say something, but Li Hai raised his hand and waved it towards him. Whenever the emperor made such a move, the ministers would not dare to say anything.
The governor was so full of anger that he couldn't vent his anger, so he had to go to Fengzao Palace to find the empress dowager.
When the Empress Dowager came outside the upper study room, a eunuch shouted to announce: "The Empress Dowager is here!"
Every time Li Hai heard that the Queen Mother came, his heart skipped a beat: there must be nothing good about her coming! It's just that the surface work still needs to be done well. So, Li Hai straightened his clothes, and walked gracefully and gracefully to the door of the upper study room to greet him.
"Kowtow to the Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother glanced at Li Hai coldly, and said in a strange voice: "Get up! I probably won't be able to stand such a big gift from you in the future!"
Li Hai's eyes flickered with panic, he didn't know what the deep meaning of the Queen Mother's words was. Could it be that she has already guessed his mind
Li Hai felt uneasy in his heart: "Did someone make the Queen Mother angry?"
The queen mother ignored him, went straight to the study, and sat down on the bench where Li Hai was reading. There was a copy of "Gongyang Chunqiu" on the case, the queen mother casually flipped through it, and then threw the book on the case.
"The emperor is watching "Spring and Autumn"?"
The empress dowager looked gloomy, and Li Hai spoke carefully and cautiously.
"Exactly! If you don't read "Spring and Autumn", you don't know the righteousness. After reading "Spring and Autumn", I know that many things I did in the past are not in line with the meaning of "Spring and Autumn".
"Hmph!" The queen mother suddenly snorted coldly, and said angrily, "Now you have one thing that you can't do in "Spring and Autumn"!"
Li Hai was stunned for a moment, thinking about what he had done recently, and it seemed that nothing made her angry! He must go to pay his respects every day, and he must give the queen mother a taste of the treasures and fruits tributed by foreign countries before he dares to eat them himself. What was it that made her unhappy!
"Please make it clear, Empress Dowager, I really don't know what annoyed Empress Dowager so much."
"It's Yan Li, the imperial censor you sent out to help the disaster!" The word "Yan Li" came out from between the teeth of the Queen Mother, looking at the Queen Mother, it seemed that she wanted to bite the word "Yan Li" into pieces.
Just now, the governor read Yan Li's book, and here the queen mother said that Yan Li was wrong, and what was it for
"What happened to Yan Li?"
"What's wrong with him? He provoked Aijia!"
Li Hai asked, "Why did Yan Li provoke the Queen Mother?"
The queen mother said angrily: "Do you know that he killed the prefect?"
"I know, I just found out." Li Hai said, "He killed the prefect to punish corrupt officials. Why is the queen mother angry?"
The queen mother spat: "Bah! He is trying to punish corrupt officials? He clearly wants to impress me!"
"The prefect is a corrupt official, why did he show embarrassment to the empress dowager?" Li Hai raised his eyes and looked at the empress dowager next to him. He already knew the general idea now that the prefect must belong to the Queen Mother, that's why the Queen Mother was so angry. Yan Li killed well! One of the queen mother's confidants was removed for him.
The queen mother's eyes were full of whites: "The problem is not who he killed, the problem is that he said some outrageous things!" The queen mother was furious, and she was so angry that she said, "If I make a mistake, he will also kill me!" Punish and behead!"
Li Hai was overjoyed: what you said is correct, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, how could the queen mother make an exception!
"Yan Li is doing disaster relief in the northwest, how did the Queen Mother hear what he said?"
Li Hai remained calm. Through this incident, he believed that Yan Li had no ambitions, and if he had ambitions, Yan Li would not covet the prefect's family property, as well as the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and the priceless ganoderma lucidum that the governor had donated to Yan Li. Moreover, Yan Li is not from the Empress Dowager. Now that Yan Li has these two conditions and his ability is very superior, he will definitely be able to be used by Li Hai in the future.
Therefore, Li Hai had secretly made up his mind that no matter how angry the Queen Mother was, he would protect Yan Li from any danger.
"Yes... it's a thorn..." The Queen Mother was afraid of exposing her confidant to Li Hai, so she didn't finish speaking, and changed her words, "The story of Yan Li has spread throughout the Dajing Kingdom, how could I not know! Now the people of the whole country, I only know that there is Yan Li, but I don't know that there is an empress dowager and an emperor!"
In order to appease the Queen Mother, Li Hai always had to put on a show, and he also said angrily: "I didn't expect Yan Li to say such a rebellious thing. Don't worry, the Queen Mother, as long as Yan Li returns to Beijing, I will punish him severely and never forgive him lightly." !"
"The emperor should not be dishonest!" The queen mother glanced at Li Hai from the corner of her eye.
Li Hai did all the acting, pretending to be very panicked: "If I don't punish Yan Li, I don't deserve to be the emperor of the Great Jing Kingdom!"
With Li Hai's approval, a smug smile flashed across the empress dowager's wrinkled old face.
"That's about the same! Next, I'll hear your good news!"
Looking at the team that the Queen Mother left, Li Hai said in his heart: Put Yan Li in the prison first, let him suffer, and then let him out, and be a first-rank official, assist me to the left and right, and clear away all those who stand in front of me. Obstacles to power!
The story of Yan Li copying the prefect's family property but filling his own pockets quickly spread among the affected people.
In a tavern, by the window, there were a few drinkers who drank too much and talked about the imperial envoy sent by the emperor.
"At first, I thought that Yan Yushi was a good official who could make decisions for the people. Who would have thought that the prefect fell down and the censor was full! Hmph, the world is as black as crows, and officials are not good people!"
"Yan Yushi is even more greedy than the previous prefects! Not only the prefects, but also the assassins. Sooner or later, they will be defeated by the Dajing Kingdom!"
"Don't talk about Yan Yushi, even the queen who lives in the palace and has everything she wants is still greedy! When she ransacked the prefect's house, she took several big night pearls with her maidservants, which are priceless. Woolen cloth!"
"Now the drought has not been relieved, and the people are still in dire straits. They only care about their own self-interest. It's really chilling!"
At a table next to them sat four hatted figures, two men and two women, one woman in a taupe skirt and veil.
After hearing those people's comments, the man sitting opposite the veil was about to get up angrily.
"Why, you can't stand it like this?" The woman lifted her veil, revealing a beautiful face, with the corners of her mouth always twitching.
with a mocking smile.
Yan Li grabbed the wine glass and almost crushed it.
"I'm going to tell them I'm not that kind of person! I..."
Rong Changan turned a deaf ear to these words, it was already numb to her.
"People who want to do big things don't care about small things, why should you care about what these people say."
Yan Li looked at Rong Chang'an coldly: "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be so notorious!"
Rong Changan snorted coldly: "If I didn't miscalculate, people in the capital already know about your deeds..."
"What!" Yan Li stood up suddenly, if the people in the capital knew about it, wouldn't the emperor know? The Queen Mother doesn't know? Knowing what he has done, what will the emperor and queen mother do
