"What did I say? I have said so many things, how do I know which sentence the Prime Minister asked?"
"That is, what will happen to Prince Jing's family if another emperor is replaced?" Yan Li almost roared, his originally cold and calm eyes looked like an angry tiger at this moment.
"I said... I said that if there were other emperors, they would have been intercepted and killed in the middle..."
boom! Yan Li threw the officials on the ground and spilled the food and wine on the tray all over the floor.
Yan Li was stunned, his eyes full of pain and pity.
"It's over, they're over..."
The official looked confused: "Prime Minister, what are you talking about?"
Yan Li shook his head, his whole body seemed to have lost all energy, and collapsed: "They will never come back, never come back again..."
"Prime Minister, what are you talking about? Who can't come back?"
Just as he was talking, a prisoner shouted outside: "The emperor is coming! The emperor is coming! Get ready!"
The official jumped up. How many years, the emperor has never been to Yushitai's prison, today the sun rises from the west!
It would be terrible if the emperor saw him drinking and talking with Yan Li.
"Prime Minister, when the emperor came, you said that you were drinking with yourself, okay? Don't confess my brother, or I will die!" As he said, he hurriedly walked out of the prison and closed it again.
The new censor led in front, followed by Eunuch Liu, and behind Eunuch Liu was Li Hai. His yellow robe was particularly conspicuous among the group of people.
Li Hai caught a glimpse of the trays in the prison and the wine and rice spilled all over the floor. He thought Yan Li was impatient to stay in the prison.
"Long live the emperor, long live!" Yan Li knelt down to Li Hai.
Li Hai said to the censor, "Open the door!"
The censor opened the door, and Li Hai stepped into the prison.
Eunuch Liu has already brought a stool and a cushion for Li Hai to sit on.
"Prime Minister, Yu Shitai has found out that you really have nothing to do with Prince Jing. You can leave here tomorrow morning and return to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Yan Li had mixed feelings, knelt on the ground and didn't know what to say.
"Prime Minister, thank you quickly!" Eunuch Liu reminded from the side.
Yan Li kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"
Li Hai laughed loudly: "How could I kill you! I'm just testing you."
Test him? Why test him
"I don't understand what the emperor means." Yan Li said.
Li Hai pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and nodded his chin to Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu waved his whisk and drove everyone out of the prison except Li Hai and Yan Li, and even Eunuch Liu left the prison by himself.
Yan Li was full of doubts, what made Li Hai unable to say it in front of Yushi, or even in front of Eunuch Liu.
Li Hai naturally knew why Yan Li's eyebrows were so close together. He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, stood up, walked around the prison twice, walked up to Yan Li behind, and stretched out a palm moderately.
"Prime Minister Yan, please get up, sit down and talk!"
Li Hai didn't have that condescending attitude when he spoke, it was more like asking Yan Li for help.
Yan Li didn't dare to stand up: "Your Majesty, I'm a guilty person, so I dare not sit with the Emperor."
Li Hai said: "I told you to sit down, so sit down."
Yan Li was worried, and sat on the stool with his hands on his knees, sitting upright, not daring to be slighted.
"The emperor said just now that he wants to test the humble officials. I don't know what that means?"
Li Hai's eyes suddenly became vigilant, he glanced at the entrance of the prison, and then smiled.
"I want to test whether you are loyal to me."
Li Hai's words almost made Yan Li fall from his chair. Yan Li pleaded for King Jing, so naturally he cannot be said to be loyal to Li Hai. It seems that Yan Li failed Li Hai's test.
Yan Li was very anxious.
"The humble minister has let the emperor down!"
Li Hai snorted: "You're wrong, you didn't disappoint me, on the contrary, you made me feel at ease."
Yan Li's eyebrows frowned even tighter, why didn't he understand the meaning of Li Hai's words.
"I have imprisoned you for the past few days, no one has come to intercede for you, and you have not asked anyone for entrustment, which is enough to show that Prime Minister Yan does not form a party, does not engage in private interests, and is an elegant self-proclaimed minister in the court, who can entrust important responsibilities. "
It is true that Li Hai said that he did not collude with other officials for personal gain or fraud, but it is false when he said that he can entrust important tasks. Yan Li secretly pretended to be for the sake of the common people in the world, at all costs, afraid that others would know his aspirations, so he dared not make friends with anyone.
"The emperor's reputation is too high! Yan Li is really overwhelmed."
Li Hai smiled again, and picked up the cup from the ground. When he found two cups and two pairs of chopsticks, Li Hai's eyes flashed suddenly.
"In Li Bai's poem, it is said that there are three people who drink together, but the prime minister is two people who drink together!"
In the half-joking words, there was suspicion and murderous intent.
Yan Li quickly explained: "A former old subordinate just now came to drink two cups with me to relieve boredom. No official outside Yushitai has ever come in."
Li Hai laughed again, and said tolerantly: "Prime Minister, I just ask casually. Even if an official comes in to drink and chat with the Prime Minister, it is a matter of human nature. The Prime Minister does not need to explain too much. I am not the kind of person who does not show affection king."
"It's true that no officials outside Yushitai came in to drink with Yan Li."
"Okay, okay!" Li Hai said with a smile, "Let's stop with this matter. I'm here today to let you go out and be your own."
Speaking of being alone, it must be a big deal. Looking at Li Hai's serious expression, he knew that what he wanted Yan Li to do was no small matter.
"There is something in the imperial court, Yan Li will be smashed to pieces, he will not say goodbye, the emperor just says it doesn't matter."
Appreciation flashed across Li Hai's eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help curling up in a beautiful arc.
"Recently, I received a secret report that someone in the imperial court is going to rebel..."
Yan Lili groaned: Why is it another rebellion? Li Hai's rule is already unpopular. If this continues, within a few days, the Great Jing Kingdom will fall apart!
"Someone wants to raise troops to rebel? It's really treasonous! I don't know which minister of the court is the one who rebelled?"
Li Hai smiled sinisterly, with deep eyes.
"The prime minister doesn't need to know who this person is, I just need to ask you a question. Would the prime minister be willing to put on his post and quell the rebellion for me like this kind of rebellious rebel?"
Facing Li Hai's sharp gaze, Yan Li didn't hesitate at all.
"A lowly official is incompatible with a rebel. To oppose the emperor is to oppose the minister and the people of the world! How dare you refuse to obey the emperor's orders?"
Li Hai smiled on the surface: "As expected, I did not misunderstand, the Prime Minister is indeed loyal to me."
But Li Hai never mentioned how to put down the rebellion, and who was the person who put down the rebellion, which made Yan Li feel uneasy.
"This time the rebellion is suppressed by the big officials in the frontier with heavy troops in their hands?" Yan Li wondered, it could not be another prince who was dissatisfied with Li Hai and rebelled.
Li Hai shook his head, his eyes made Yan Li puzzled: "It's not the big official of the frontier, the rebellion is within Xiao Qiang!"
