Li Hai lowered his head and pondered. Now that the queen mother is already a bird in a cage, Li Hai is really annoyed that she can't kill her with one blow. Over the years, the queen mother has manipulated him like a puppet. Although he is honored as the emperor, he has no right to self-determination in matters of state. Every time he came to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, he would smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart: When will he be able to kill this old hag!
Rong Chang'an meant to save the Queen Mother's life? What if the queen mother instructs her relatives to rebel
"What does queen mean?"
From Li Hai's angry and calm eyes, Rong Chang'an had already seen his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, sometimes saving a person's life is more useful than letting her die."
As he spoke, Rong Changan picked up a wolf hair brush on the pen stand, moistened the ink, spread out Xue Tao's manuscript, lifted up his sleeves, exposed his lotus arms, and wrote two words "foreign relative" in regular script on the pink paper. .
These two words seem to have magical powers, attracting all of Li Hai's attention. He pinched his chin, thinking about the connotation of the word Rong Chang'an.
"The queen mother is the only one who obeys the foreign relatives. If the queen mother issues an order, the foreign relatives will march to Beijing with troops and seek to usurp the throne..."
Li Hai was still puzzled: "It is precisely because of this that the Queen Mother should be..." Although Li Hai hated the Queen Mother, but in name it was a mother-child relationship, so saying the word "kill" from his mouth was somewhat unfilial.
Every word that Li Hai said seemed to be of great importance, from which Rong Chang'an heard how resentful Li Hai was towards the Queen Mother, it was really quick to kill.
"The Empress Dowager has the right to recruit soldiers, and also has the right to withdraw troops. If there is a gossip that the Empress Dowager is under house arrest, her relatives will definitely go to Beijing to discuss with the Emperor."
Asking for an explanation is just a euphemism. To put it bluntly, it is to fight Li Hai desperately.
Li Hai couldn't help being shocked.
Rong Changan suppressed a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. As long as you have the Empress Dowager card in your hand, your relatives will not dare to act rashly. If your relatives raise troops, you can ask the Queen Mother to issue an edict to let your relatives withdraw. There will be no unrest."
Li Hai suddenly realized why Rong Changan didn't kill the queen mother after leaving him, and didn't say that the mutiny this time was instigated by the queen mother behind the scenes. It turned out that there was such a deep meaning. This Chang'an City Mansion is unfathomable, fortunately it is still a woman, if it is a man, Dajing Kingdom will be taken away by her sooner or later.
Rong Changan must not stay for long! A cold light flashed in the corner of Li Hai's eyes.
"The emperor can't help saying that the queen mother launched a mutiny, but also sent someone to comfort the queen mother, so that she can rest assured and take care of her body. This is not a violation of filial piety. Later generations will definitely praise the emperor for his kindness and filial piety. Mingjun."
The corner of Li Hai's mouth twitched into a convincing smile, and he clasped his fists to Rong Changan: "The empress is really smart, it's a blessing for Li Hai to have a queen like you!"
Rong Changan squirted her nose, and it's not like she didn't know about the bad water in Li Hai's stomach. Anyway, both of them are acting now. It depends on who can act well, who can fool the other party, and who can laugh to the end!
"The emperor's reputation is too high." Rong Changan bowed his knees deeply, and wished Li Hai a blessing, "Tomorrow I will go there in the name of the emperor, and pay my respects to the queen mother, do you think it is appropriate?"
Li Hai hurriedly said: "Appropriate, appropriate! The queen can do whatever she says, and I will listen to the queen in everything."
Rong Chang'an thought for a while: "The concubine needs a competent assistant to speak."
Li Hai said: "It's up to the Queen to choose, if you tell me, I will definitely ask him to go with you to Fengzao Palace to meet the Queen Mother."
"The new Prime Minister Yan Li." Rong Changan read out his name, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help showing a smug smile, like a calm pond, swimming past a zooplankton, making slight ripples.
Li Hai gave a strange "Oh" in his throat, and his gaze sank: "Queen, can you tell me why it is Yan Li?"
Rong Chang'an is really shameless, for wanting to appoint Yan Li in an open and aboveboard manner. It's just that the time has not yet come. If one day her fate is choked, Li Hai must lock her in a prison car and send her to every street in the capital, so that everyone can watch and scold her.
"Originally the empress dowager wanted to make Zhao Hongru the prime minister, but now Yan Li has replaced him. If Yan Li doesn't go and speak well to the empress dowager, will the emperor's affairs be successful?"
Unexpectedly, there is such a meaning, Li Hai really wanted to punch his elm head, to open it up, and not let Rong Changan think about everything in his head.
"According to the queen, I asked Yan Li to follow the queen to meet the queen mother."
…
In the peaceful Anrenfang, the mid-autumn rain is still falling, and the fallen leaves of phoenix trees are soaked in the stagnant water.
Rong Changan came to Anrenfang, the residence of Prime Minister Yan, sitting in a mane-cut sedan chair with a phoenix pattern.
The original prime minister's mansion, Yan Li felt it was unlucky, so he didn't live in it, but sold it to a wealthy family in the name of the court. Li Hai refurbished a house for Yan Li, it was in this Anren Square, with a quiet backside and a prosperous front door, it was a house with a good location. Yan Li shied away for a long time, but Li Hai just didn't agree, insisting that Yan Li move in.
"I haven't seen Prime Minister Yan open the front door a few times, but the back door is opened every day!"
Seeing that the back door was open, Chuntao said to Rong Changan incomprehensibly.
Rong Chang'an said: "How do you know that Prime Minister Yan's front door is always closed, but the back door is always open?"
Chuntao smiled and said: "My servants often come out to buy things that are not in the palace, and the prime minister's house is located in a luxurious area, so I often pass by, so I know that the prime minister's front door is not very open; since the front door is not open, today I saw the back door is wide open That's why I think, the prime minister must open the back door from time to time."
Chuntao is really a clever girl. Rong Changan smiled and said: "Chuntao, the back door you mentioned is different from the back door we usually understand, and should not be confused, otherwise, if Prime Minister Yan hears it, he will panic and have to go to the emperor to justify himself before the matter is over. .”
Chuntao thought for a while, then nodded: "Prime Minister Yan is indeed cautious, but it's too much."
What does Chuntao know! Those who are officials and those who serve the emperor in the palace, the first key to remember is to be "cautious", otherwise they will not know when they are framed by others. Be careful! What's more, Yan Li is the prince of the previous dynasty. If Li Hai finds out, Yan Li will be burned to ashes!
"Go and ask the doorman if the prime minister is there, and tell Yan Li that I'm here."
"Slave servant, let's go!"
Chuntao held an umbrella, walked with bound feet and wobbled, went to Yanli's back door, and said hello to the door.
"Brother, is Prime Minister Yan at home?"
Menzi drank a pot of tea, looked at Chuntao cautiously, and said, "Which mansion are you a servant girl, what do you want from my Prime Minister?"
Pooh!
Chun Fang covered his mouth and giggled.
Menzi wanted to be angry, but he was afraid that this maid would be offended if she was a high-ranking official's maid, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Why are you crying?"
Pooh!
Chunfu smiled again: "Brother, am I laughing or crying! Besides, the prime minister is the prime minister of the Great Jing Kingdom, not the prime minister of your Yan family."
