Deposed Empress General

Chapter 228: There is no system of prime ministers

Views:

"Yan Li doesn't have the dignity of a prime minister, and he actually tried to argue for a traitor. Now he is escorted to the Yushitai for interrogation." Li Hai nodded to Liu Gonggong, "Take off Yan Li's black gauze hat, and take him to the Yushitai immediately!"

Eunuch Liu responded immediately and said, "Your servant complies with the order!" But he was sad in his heart. He had already warned Yan Li not to touch Li Hai's sensitive nerves.

He took the whisk and came to Yan Li, wanting to reach out and take off Yan Li's hat, but he couldn't bear it: "Prime Minister Yan..."

Yan Li already understood what Eunuch Liu meant, so he took off the black gauze hat and handed it to Eunuch Liu.

Eunuch Liu took the hat and said to the two imperial guards beside him, "Take the prime minister to Yushitai!"

So Eunuch Liu led, and the two imperial guards led Yan Li, and left Li Hai's bedroom.

An originally harmonious imperial meal turned into a big political discussion, which really made Li Hai very angry.

"Queen, are you satisfied now?"

Rong Changan smiled: "This is not a question of whether the concubine is satisfied or not, but a question of whether the emperor is satisfied or not."

The words are really watertight.

"Queen, can we have dinner now?" Li Hai pointed to a table of delicious dishes.

Zi Yan had already pinched Li Hai's lips: "Your Majesty, you are taking care of all the big and small things in this country, it's really too much trouble."

Li Hai squeezed Ziyan's smooth chin: "You know I'm bothered, so you should treat me well. Also have a good relationship with the queen."

Zi Yan looked at Rong Chang'an coldly: "I don't dare to offend the queen, like the queen's murderous face, if I take the initiative to offend her, she won't persuade the emperor to kill me like she did just now!"

It clearly means that Rong Changan is ruthless and unscrupulous.

Rong Chang'an ignored it, and said to Li Hai: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as I allow Chang'an to be the lord of the Six Palaces, I will definitely not cause trouble for the Emperor. Today's rock sugar water incident is just a misunderstanding."

Li Hai was very happy: "I couldn't be happier that you can live in harmony. Although I'm a little unhappy today, the song is coming to an end. Let's eat quickly, my hungry stomach is growling."

Rong Changan returned to Fengming Palace from Li Hai's bedroom, and ordered Chuntao to bring some hot water to wipe his face. Chuntao stood there, motionless.

Rong Chang'an naturally saw that something was wrong with Chuntao.

"Chuntao, what's the matter? Seeing that you look a little unhappy, are you still making things difficult for Ziyan today?"

Chuntao bit her lip, her eyebrows moved a little closer: "Chuntao has no right to be angry with Concubine Ziyan, Chuntao is not worth it for Prime Minister Yan."

It turned out that Chuntao was complaining about Yan Li!

Rong Chang'an smiled and said, "Do you think I'm a bit cruel to Yan Li?"

Chun Tao said: "I don't dare to think that way. I just think that Prime Minister Yan has always been nice to the queen, so why does the queen want to be in front of the emperor..."

Chuntao didn't dare to say the word "adding insult to injury". But Rong Changan naturally knew what she was talking about later.

"Go and make me a cup of tea, and then I'll tell you why you did this to Yan Li today."

Chuntao replied: "Yes, the servant girl will go and pour tea for the queen."

Brew a pot of Biluochun, put it in front of Rong Changan, the tea fragrance sprayed out from the spout, and the lover's heart was full.

After drinking a cup of tea, Rong Changan opened his lips and said, "Do you think I'm trying to harm Yan Li?"

It is suggested that Li Hai take Yan Li to Yushitai for questioning, whether it is harm or what. It's just that Chuntao knew that she was humble, so she didn't dare to speak clearly.

"The servant girl didn't mean that."

Rong Changan smiled again, knowing that Chuntao didn't dare to speak out, "Actually, I was helping him."

"Help Prime Minister Yan?" Chuntao frowned, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Rong Chang'an's gourd.

"Chuntao, you are my caring person, so I will tell you whatever I have to say." Rong Changan looked a little stern, "You also know that the emperor is a very suspicious person, if the emperor thinks that Yan Cheng also sympathizes with King Jing, There is even collusion, what do you think will happen to Prime Minister Yan?"

end? As soon as Chuntao heard this word, her delicate body trembled.

"Is... is it that serious?"

It seems that Chuntao still doesn't understand Li Hai's character. He was able to kill more than 3,000 soldiers because of Ziyan's words, which showed his suspicion.

"This is not an ordinary court affairs, but about Prince Jing. Prince Jing rebelled and wanted to replace the emperor. The emperor must be suspicious of Prince Jing and everyone who has the slightest connection with Prince Jing. Prime Minister Yan is Prince Jing. It is a big taboo to plead with your family, if the Emperor Longyan is furious, Prime Minister Yan may be beheaded."

"This... that Prime Minister Yan is now locked up in the Yushitai, isn't that more ominous than good?"

Rong Changan's eyes were deep. If she hadn't been there today, Yan Li would have been dismissed and investigated long ago.

"Today, I deliberately asked the emperor to transfer his suspicion to me, so that Prime Minister Yan might escape. Otherwise, the consequences of Prime Minister Yan would be disastrous."

Chun Tao really didn't expect that what Rong Chang'an did today was to play hard to get, to save the country with curves, and to use reverse thinking to rescue Yan Li from the crisis.

"Queen, what crime do you think the emperor will commit against the prime minister?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on Prime Minister Yan's performance and the emperor's thoughts."

Yan Li cannot die, there is nothing to doubt about it. But what crime he will betray, it is still difficult to know. She could see from Li Hai's eyes that he was suspicious of Yan Li, and this suspicion had been present for a long, long time. But Li Hai has been using Yan Li all the time, and Rong Changan can't figure out the reason.

At night, the night is as cool as water, and Yushitai is in prison.

Because Yan Li used to be the censor, there are many old friends here. Knowing that he was imprisoned by the emperor for interrogation because of his direct remonstrance, they all sympathized with him and took special care of him. It goes without saying that it is delicious to eat and drink, easy to wear and comfortable to live in. Every day, officials from Yushitai came in to talk to Yan Li, to relieve his depression.

"Prime Minister, why are you doing this? Is it worth pleading for someone who can't be reached? It makes me feel bad to see him locked up here now." An official from Yushitai accompanied Yan Li for a drink, talking about this The officials sighed unceasingly.

Yan Li was not in the mood to drink: "How is King Jing's youngest?"

The official thought to himself, he has been reduced to this, and he still cares about them! I really don't know what Yan Li is thinking.

"It is said that except for a few close relatives of King Jing who were beheaded, everyone else was exiled to counties in the south of the Five Ridges. The emperor is kind enough, but other emperors would have killed them halfway. Yes! Anyway, they are condemned as thieves, and staying here is also a disaster."

With a buzzing sound in Yan Li's head, he suddenly protruded his hand, grabbed the official's collar, and held it so tightly that the official almost couldn't breathe.

"Prime Minister Yan, you... what's wrong with you?" The official stared at Yan Li with terrified eyes, thinking to himself, this Yan Li won't be locked in prison for too long, will he go crazy

"What did you just say?" Yan Li looked at the official sharply.
