A courtier who can stand up for the monarch at a critical moment should be a loyal courtier.
Zi Yan's agile pupils were even more smug. Rong Chang'an, Rong Chang'an, forgive how tough you are usually, but your arms can't twist your thighs, you can ignore me, Ziyan, don't you also pay attention to the prime minister and the emperor
A trace of pain flashed across Rong Changan's eyes.
Why is he like this? From a logical point of view, he concluded that Rong Changan was wrong only after hearing Zi Yan's statement, whether he thought things too simply; from an emotional point of view, hasn't he always been interested in her? But the elbow turned outward, to help Zi Yan, a goblin, but not to help her Rong Chang'an
Rong Changan glanced at Yan Li contemptuously, his face showing the look of contemptuousness that can only be seen when facing the enemy on the battlefield.
"I, Chang'an, talk like this on weekdays. If the emperor is not used to it, he can depose me and put me in the cold palace." As she spoke, she looked at Li Hai sharply. She wanted to see how well Li Hai responded to her words. what a performance.
Li Hai's dragon body trembled slightly. Rong Changan's words touched his heart. Had she already seen his intentions? If so, that's bad! In order to protect himself, Rong Chang'an will plan a rebellion in advance.
"Queen, what are you talking about!" Li Hai actually walked out of his seat, Zi Yan was horrified by his actions.
"Queen, I just want to reconcile the conflict between you and Concubine Ziyan, don't think too much! Since you don't want to apologize to Ziyan, forget it! How can I abolish you? I never meant that." Li Hai walked to Rong Changan's side, trying to comfort her as much as possible.
The purple smoke is full of smoke. How can Li Hai talk to people and talk to ghosts! Where did the beauty and tenderness at the head of the bed go? Does the edict he wrote to her still count
Ziyan complained delicately, patted the table with her little hand, turned her face to one side, and ignored Li Hai.
Now it was Rong Chang'an who was showing a victorious gesture.
"Your majesty, you reprimanded me so severely just now, I thought you were going to abolish me!"
Li Hai quickly denied it: "No, no! I definitely won't have such thoughts, you can rest assured." After speaking, Li Hai picked up two dishes for Rong Changan and put them in the bowl in front of her.
"Queen, do you want some soup? I'll give you a bowl of soup."
Rong Changan chuckled and said, "No, no! Let the emperor fill me with soup and spread the word, what kind of words!"
Yan Li also frowned at Li Hai's sudden change, his handsome and fair face was full of doubts. He faintly felt that there was something unspeakable hidden in Li Hai's transformation, but he couldn't explain what it was all at once.
Seeing that Ziyan was also angry, Li Hai wanted to get over the matter of Bingtangshui.
"Prime Minister, don't you have something to tell me? Let's talk while eating. Empress, noble concubine, what I'm talking about with the prime minister is a major national issue. Let's talk about your affairs later, okay?"
Ziyan was furious, Rong Changan was cold, neither of them responded to Li Hai.
"Prime Minister? Prime Minister?" Li Hai stared at Yan Li sharply, hoping that Yan Li could rescue him.
Yan Li frowned when he remembered that what he wanted to say would not make Li Hai happy.
"It seems that the prime minister doesn't have wine, so he can't speak freely in front of me," Li Hai ordered to Eunuch Liu, "Eunuch Liu, ask the maid to pour wine for the prime minister, a glass of fine grape wine from the Western Regions."
The blood-colored wine was poured into the glass cup in front of Yan Li, and the fragrance wafted into his nostrils.
"Come on, come on, come on! Empress, noble concubine, do me some face,—Prime Minister, let's have a drink!"
Yan Li drank all the wine in the glass cup, and sure enough, as soon as the wine entered his stomach, his tongue became alive, as did his dark eyes.
"Your Majesty, what I want to say is about..."
Yan Li raised his eyes slightly, and saw Eunuch Liu looking at him anxiously, he pretended not to notice, and continued: "What I want to talk about is about King Jing's family..."
Li Hai's face suddenly sank, as if it was going to rain.
He put down his wine glass heavily and touched his chin.
"Prime Minister Yan, Yushitai is investigating the matter of King Jing. I have already discussed it with the ministers in the morning, and most of them agree with Yushitai's suggestion. We don't need to talk about it!"
Rong Changan narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Li sideways.
Prince Jing's rebellion was a big treason, and Yan Li pleaded for mercy on behalf of Prince Jing's family. Is it obvious that he is an accomplice of Prince Jing? Even if they are not fellow party members, they are still Prince Jing's sympathizers. It was these people that Li Hai hated the most. Yan Li's actions today are tantamount to touching the tiger's butt.
Unexpectedly, Yan Li walked all the way to the end, and he actually left the seat and knelt on the ground.
He has a noble nature and is a former prince, so he won't kneel down to Li Hai easily. But today, for the sake of those more than a thousand innocent lives, he no longer cherishes his self-esteem.
"Your Majesty, Prince Jing's family did not take part in the rebellion. If they were killed, why would everyone be silenced? A thousand lives were slaughtered at Caishikou like livestock. How would the people talk about the Emperor?" ?”
Such an easy-to-kill monarch, the people will definitely call him a tyrant.
"Whoever dares to talk about me, I will also behead them!" Li Hai's words were full of murderous intent, and it was clear that he was not just talking casually.
Yan Li said: "The mouth of the people is better than that of Fangchuan. Doesn't the emperor understand this truth? The emperor can kill one, two, three, but can he kill all the people of Dajing Kingdom? I'm afraid the emperor won't stop Live in the mouths of the people, but the bad name has already spread among the people..."
boom!
Li Hai was trembling with anger.
What happened today, it seems that everyone is competing with him. He originally thought that Yan Li could be his right-hand man, but unexpectedly, Yan Li came to embarrass him for Prince Jing's youngest!
"Prime Minister Yan, you keep saying that you are for Prince Jing's children. Could it be that you have colluded with Prince Jing?"
Yan Li trembled slightly, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty knows that this minister has never colluded with Prince Jing, and this minister just pities those thousand innocent lives."
Li Hai's face turned red with anger: "How do you know that these thousand lives are innocent? Yu Shitai has already reached a conclusion, and it's not that I slandered them. They are Prince Jing's family members, so they will naturally assist Prince Jing." Rebellion, needless to say! This kind of people, if we don’t kill them, why don’t we let them come and take my life?”
"Weichen didn't mean that." Yan Li said.
"Then what do you mean?" Li Hai stared sharply at Yan Li.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, even if a needle fell to the ground, Rong Changan seemed to be able to hear it.
