Deposed Empress General

Chapter 194: Horns on the dog's head

Views:

Yulin Jun said: "It was the day before yesterday, this horn just grew."

Li Hai waved his hands and said, "Queen, this old soldier has a dog to play with, so let him take care of it. There is no rule in the palace that says you can't keep dogs."

Rong Changan didn't say anything at that time, after the car continued to drive, Rong Changan thought about it, and said to Li Hai:

"Your Majesty, have you ever read a book about five elements and eight trigrams?"

Li Hai thought that Rong Changan was making fun of him for being an uneducated emperor, so his face was a little displeased. "What does the queen mean by asking this question?"

Rong Changan said with a smile: "How many meanings can a concubine have? If the emperor has read books on this topic, he should also know that a dog with horns on its head is an unlucky sign."

Li Hai's face became serious: "Why is it unlucky?"

Rong Chang'an said: "I have been in the army for many years. Sometimes when I send troops to fight, I also need to look at the five elements. If we encounter horns on the dog's head before we leave the army, we will immediately cancel the attack plan."

"Why?" Li Hai asked tightly.

Rong Changan talked eloquently, but his eyes showed worry: "horns belong to the golden leather, and the golden leather means that there is a change of swords and soldiers. Wearing swords on the dog's head means that the gatekeepers are about to launch a mutiny, which is extremely harmful to the emperor. .”

After thinking about it, Rong Chang'an still felt that he should inform Li Hai of the matter.

Li Hai turned pale with shock, holding on to the armrest of the cart with both hands and clenched tightly.

"Queen...you...are you kidding me?"

Li Hai had stayed in the palace for so many years, but he had never encountered a coup d'état, and he was really caught off guard when he suddenly appeared.

"If the concubine is talking to other people, it is possible to make a joke, but the concubine is talking to you now, how can I make a joke? Am I not afraid of the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Li Hai's face was pale, and his Adam's apple turned: "You mean that veteran just now might mutiny?"

Rong Chang'an smiled coldly: "It's not that veteran, but in the Taimiao..."

Li Hai's eyes still showed mistrust: "No...impossible! Today the Taimiao is in charge of arranging the defense. It is Lord Bai, the servant of the Ministry of War. He...how could he mutiny?"

Rong Changan frowned, she didn't know if Bai Xiangwan was planning a mutiny.

"That's all the concubine can tell the emperor. Now the Taimiao is right in front of you. Whether you want to go in or not, the emperor decides for himself!"

Sure enough, Lin Hai at the front of the car yelled: "Stop!" The driver stopped, and Li Hai could not help but tremble slightly. Rong Changan sensitively caught Li Hai's ugly face, and let out another cold snort.

Suddenly, Li Hai grabbed Rong Chang'an's hand, his hand was cold and bony, Rong Chang'an couldn't help feeling his back shiver.

"Queen, you accompany me into the Taimiao, with you by my side, I don't have to be afraid of anything!"

Rong Chang'an sneered: "The concubine is not the body of a diamond. She is invulnerable to swords and guns. She can protect the emperor for a while, but cannot protect the emperor for a lifetime."

Li Hai was like this in his previous life. After using her to build a solid foundation, he abandoned her and let her truly understand what it means to be a dead dog.

Rong Chang'an's sharp gaze made Li Hai very scared: "Queen, you have experienced many battles, and you will definitely be able to protect me well!"

Rong Chang'an smiled contemptuously: "Then ask the emperor to kick him out!"

Hundreds of officials have already lined up in front, and the officers and soldiers escorting them have shining knives, spears and halberds like a forest, and their armor is dense, which makes them fearful.

Eunuch Liu supported Li Hai. Originally, the emperor walked one step ahead and the queen one step behind, entering the Taimiao successively, but Li Hai grabbed Rong Changan's hand and walked into the Taimiao together side by side without relaxing.

Li Hai's ugliness made Rong Changan laugh even more.

The closer he was to the Taimiao, the colder Li Hai's hands became, the more trembling they were. His mouth was dry, and he stretched out his sleeve robe to wipe the sweat from his forehead from time to time.

All the ministers stood solemnly on both sides, and did not see Li Hai's distressed appearance.

Although the Taimiao in front is brightly lit and shining like daytime, in Li Hai's heart it is no different from a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, the gate of hell.

Suddenly, Li Hai stood still and didn't even leave.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Liu whispered from the side.

But Li Hai didn't answer Eunuch Liu, and only looked at Rong Chang'an beside him eagerly: "Queen, do I still want to go in?"

Rong Chang'an said: "All the concubines are subject to the emperor's orders!"

when!

Li Hai trembled violently and looked to the side. The spear in the hand of a soldier guarding the gate of the Taimiao fell to the ground. He quickly squatted down to pick up the spear and returned to the team, but his face was full of panic.

"Queen, this is..." Li Hai asked Rong Changan again.

Rong Changan whispered: "Soldiers who participated in the mutiny will also be nervous."

Li Hai opened his eyes wide and said to Eunuch Liu: "I have passed the decree, I feel a little uncomfortable, so I will postpone entering the Taimiao."

As soon as Eunuch Liu passed on the words, all the ministers discussed, what happened to the emperor, he had already walked to the gate of the Taimiao, why did he suddenly fall ill and feel uncomfortable? Could it be that the emperor did something wrong to his ancestors, and was punished by his ancestors, and he was not allowed to enter the Taimiao

Li Hai returned to Shangshu's room and summoned Rong Chang'an, Yan Li, and Lin Hai, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army. Until now Li Hai is still sweating.

It wasn't that he didn't know in his heart that he could launch a mutiny, and it was still in the Taimiao. This person must be from the inner palace. Apart from the Queen Mother, he really couldn't think of anyone else.

"Empress, what do you think I should do now?" Li Hai asked Rong Changan after taking a sip of calming tea.

Neither Yan Li nor Lin Hai knew what happened.

Rong Chang'an said: "Your Majesty, now that the other party has placed soldiers in the Taimiao and plans to rebel, what do you think we can do?"

Li Hai walked up and down, thinking for a long time.

"Your Majesty, if you don't make a decision, once the other party finds out that you have discovered their plan, they may launch a rebellion in advance, and it will be difficult to deal with it then!" Rong Changan reminded Li Hai.

Li Hai asked Lin Hai again: "Commander Lin, what do you think should be done?"

Lin Hai was stunned: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Li Hai said loudly: "Someone wants to rebel and kill me, what are you talking about!"

The harsh voice made Lin Hai kneel on the ground. Lin Hai was one of the few generals who supported Li Hai, and he was quite loyal to Li Hai.

"Your Majesty, I agree with the Queen's opinion and immediately send troops to put down the rebellion!"

No one knew that they would send troops to quell the chaos, but once the conflict with the queen mother became public, and the queen mother was so powerful, Li Hai was no match for her at all. Even if Li Hai sent troops to Fengzao Palace now, it would be useless; because the old and cunning Queen Mother must have deployed heavy troops in Fengzao Palace, or had already moved to other places.

"Prime Minister Yan, what do you think?" Li Hai looked expectantly at Yan Li.

Yan Li said: "First, we are going to Taimiao to quell the chaos, and second, we have to protect the emperor's safety."

Rong Changan asked, "Tell me about it?"
