Li Hai held the wine cup in his hand, and there was a hint of fragrant mash in the cup.
"This… "
What's behind this
Li Hai coughed, pressed his thin lips against the wine cup, smacked his lips, and pouted.
"Could Prime Minister Yan be hidden by Nie Lingzhen?"
He is trying to whet Chang'an's appetite! But Li Hai still doesn't seem to understand the situation. As long as Rong Chang'an gives an order, one hundred thousand northern troops will pour into the Imperial City. Rescuing Yan Li at that time is equivalent to Zoumaru Sakagami. It couldn't be easier.
"The emperor asked him, wouldn't he know?"
Li Hai smiled: "If I ask, he won't say anything, how about it?"
Rong Chang'an said: "If the emperor doesn't ask, how do you know he won't tell?"
Li Hai said: "I know Nie Lingzhen well. He is a bull-nosed person who goes all the way to the dark. Even if you use all the punishments in our Dajing Kingdom, he won't say anything!"
He was cheating on her. But she knew what to do with him.
Rong Changan grabbed the wine cup and drank it down. It was as neat as if there was nothing in the cup.
"The emperor is sure that Nie Lingzhen won't say where Prime Minister Yan is?"
"As far as I know, he really wouldn't stop telling him even if he was beaten to death."
"Hey hey hey," Rong Changan smiled coldly, "Since the emperor has nothing to do with him, why not leave it to me! I used to deal with these stubborn people in the military camp. There are many ways. I think there is always a way There is a way to pry his mouth open."
After a pause, Rong Changan glanced coldly at Li Hai, "In a short while, I will send people to the northern camp, and ask Song Qiang to lead the northern army to escort Nie Lingzhen and others into the palace. I made a rough estimate, and Nie Lingzhen's troops have one There are more than a thousand people, and the army escorted by Song Qiang is about 10,000. One tenth of the Northern Army escorted a prisoner. Your Majesty..." Rong Changan looked at Li Hai with a smile, "You may ask me to give you a token later. Let Song Qiang and others come in!"
Ten thousand northern troops entered the palace? What a mess the palace is! Even Li Hai's imperial guards were only a few thousand people, and the Imperial Forest Army in the entire imperial capital was only more than 20,000 people, and many of them listened to Chang'an's words. Moreover, Rong Changan asked Song Qiang to come in with soldiers and horses just to escort Nie Lingzhen? With more than 10,000 northern troops in the imperial city, if they wanted to usurp the throne, it would be an easy task.
Li Hai panicked all of a sudden, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled to cover up his embarrassment.
"Why do you need Song Qiang to escort him in!"
Rong Chang'an said: "Song Qiang has been with me the longest, and I know his ability very well. Just in case, it is best to let Song Qiang escort him in. Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubine must make it clear to Nie Lingzhen, An intact prime minister of our Great Jing Kingdom!"
"This..." The wine in Li Hai's hand was shaking, with a flickering light.
"Empress, why don't you do this. You take Nie Lingzhen to the palace first, and wait for me to interrogate him. Why bother the empress? The empress owns the harem. If you have to take care of the outside affairs, what will the people of Dajing Kingdom think of it?" I?"
What if she returned Nie Lingzhen to Li Hai, but Li Hai didn't let Yan Li go? It's not that Rong Changan doesn't know Li Hai is insidious and cunning.
"The emperor is sure that Nie Lingzhen can tell the whereabouts of the prime minister?"
Li Hai said: "If the prime minister really hid Nie Lingzhen, I will definitely ask him to hand over our prime minister."
Well, the deal is done. She released Nie Lingzhen and the more than 1,000 imperial guards, while Li Hai released Yan Li.
However, Rong Changan had suffered from Li Hai in her previous life, and she would never trust a man unprepared again.
"Since this is the case, the concubine asked Song Qiang to escort Nie Lingzhen and more than a thousand guards to the Meridian Gate of the palace, and the emperor sent someone to hand it over to the Meridian Gate. The emperor looks, is this a good way?"
"This..." Li Hai's eyes showed resentment towards Rong Changan. She was clearly afraid that he would not hand over Yan Li, so Song Qiang escorted him to the Meridian Gate. She is really impeccable in doing things!
Rong Chang'an said: "The concubine sent Song Qiang to the Meridian Gate just in case."
The north wind was a little anxious, urging the military flag to hunt, and flapping the doors and windows. Li Hai and Rong Changan fell into a suffocating silence.
The conditions are already there, if Li Hai doesn't accept it, then Rong Chang'an can only take the risk. It's not that she doesn't give Li Hai the chance to continue being emperor, but it depends on what Li Hai thinks.
Apart from handing over Yan Li, Li Hai really had no other choice. Even if Yan Li was the best bargaining chip, he had to give up. As for how to deal with Rong Changan in the future, let's talk about it later!
"Your Majesty," Eunuch Liu walked to the door, sucking his nose and rubbing his hands, "Queen, it's getting colder and colder at night, and the snow seems to be falling harder and harder. Why don't I light a fire for you, old slave, to drive away the cold?" ,how?"
The corner of Rong Changan's mouth curled into a smile. What fire is there! Li Hai must feel that living by her side feels like years, and he can't stay for a moment.
Neither Rong Changan nor Li Hai answered Eunuch Liu's words.
"Queen, then do as we said just now!"
Rong Chang'an said: "Your Majesty, you have to quickly find out the whereabouts of the Prime Minister from Nie Lingzhen, otherwise, things will change over time, I am afraid that Nie Lingzhen will break the pot and kill the Prime Minister, that would be bad!"
Li Hai's face was gloomy, and his tone was very unfriendly, "Of course I know this, I don't need the empress to remind you! Eunuch Liu, drive back to the palace!"
Ah, it's time to go? Eunuch Liu was stunned at the door. Didn't you say you want to enjoy the snow scenery? Why did you just watch the Northern Army drill, say a few words, and then leave
"Why are you still standing there, you dog slave, I can't help you anymore!"
Li Hai's voice was so severe that Eunuch Liu was so frightened that he said repeatedly: "Observe the order! This old slave will drive back to the palace."
The "Hongmen Banquet" this time seemed to be a deal, but Rong Changan won it. Li Hai angrily walked down the North Tower, muttering in his heart: One day I will clean you up!
Looking up angrily at the city tower, Rong Changan's lonely shadow was printed on the white window paper. The popular hairstyle at that time and hairpin ornaments all over his head were like a bunch of blooming peonies printed on the window paper.
"If you give me a bow and arrow, I will definitely shoot her on the tower! Hmph!"
Eunuch Liu couldn't hear clearly, "The emperor said something, and this old slave will prepare for the emperor to go."
Li Hai was in a bad mood, and really wanted his concubine to come and serve him, so as to relieve his worries.
"Eunuch Liu, you go and ask Concubine Ziyan, Concubine Qing, Concubine Yue and others to come to my bedroom."
Eunuch Liu said: "Your Majesty, just now the Empress asked Chuntao to tell the old slave that "Green Waist" has been prepared for the Emperor in the palace, and tonight these dancers are... so inconvenient to go back..."
The meaning of not going back is to accompany Li Hai to bed. Li Hai has always had a special liking for these dancers, and wanted them to accompany him, but he was afraid that Ziyan would be jealous, so he didn't dare to take action.
