Rong Changan smiled, she is in the palace, her heart is for the world. She observes the current situation at any time, counts the days for the Li Dynasty, and sees how many days Li Hai can remain emperor.
"On the one hand, I use my brain to think about it. On the other hand, I can occasionally enter the minister's study and see the memorials on the emperor's case. The memorials are piled up, but the emperor only knows how to travel around the mountains and rivers. In the past few days, the spring and Jingming, the emperor still wants to Going south to Jiangnan for fun!"
Yan Li said with concern: "Have you read those memorials?"
"I've read some," Rong Changan said, "Many of them are about famines and man-made disasters in various places, the displacement of the people, the rebellion of farmers, and the separatism of feudal towns. In the imperial capital, the bustle and bustle we see is actually nothing but false prosperity."
But Yan Li didn't know these things! He went to Shangshu Province every day to read the reports from various places, but many of them were full of praises, such as where the Ganoderma lucidum bloomed, where the deer appeared, etc.! He didn't even see any sign of the country's decline.
"Why...why don't I know?" Yan Xin felt extremely distressed, he was so remiss in his duty. He usually sneers at other officials' dead bodies, but why not? He returned to the table angrily, picked up a glass of wine and gulped it down in one gulp.
The corner of Rong Chang'an's mouth curled up into a beautiful arc, which was full of contempt and coldness, "Because the emperor never trusted you from the beginning! He is a very suspicious person, and he ordered the people in Shang Shusheng to take the important The memorial documents were all moved to the Shang’s study room, and he read them all by himself. The rest of the sesame and mung bean-sized things will let you have a look.”
Yan Li was silent, he felt a little angry and a little desolate. He was angry that he was so naive, that even Rong Changan, a female class, could see things, but he seemed to see flowers in a fog; he was desolate because the people of Dajing Kingdom, who had suffered so many disasters, But there was no state aid.
Cold is the word that best describes Yan Li now. No matter how much wine he drank, his whole body was still cold, the cold pierced his muscles and bones, and his heart was cold.
When Rong Changan saw that Yan Li was so sad, she also had a little pity, but from a rational point of view, there was nothing wrong with letting Yan Li be disappointed and sad for a while, at least let him re-examine the relationship between him and Li Hai.
"Why do you know all these things, but I don't! Am I... am I stupid, and I don't deserve to be an official of the people's parents at all?" Yan Li stretched out his slender fingers to look at it, and then slapped himself in the face suddenly Come.
In an instant, a gust of fragrant wind came to his nostrils, and Yan Li felt drunk.
Soft and stiff held together.
"Why do you blame yourself? Li Hai is in charge of the whole world, not you."
Yan Li's face was full of pain, "I... I can actually help those common people more..."
"You can't help," Rong Changan's eyes suddenly became dark again, "Because Li Hai doesn't trust you."
"But let me watch them hurt, but I have to pretend not to see it, and sing praises like other officials. I can't do it."
The soft catkins floated into the room from the sunlight, landed in the glass, and floated on the surface of the wine. Rong Changan felt that Yan Li's heart was similar to this Feixu.
"Yan Li, I want to ask you a question."
"what is the problem?"
Rong Changan looked at Waiman with a deep expression, "Do you really want to save the common people?"
Rong Changan's words seemed to be sarcasm, and Yan Li was a little angry, "You just met me, don't you know my ambitions and ideals? He Qing Haiyan, the country is rich and the people are strong."
"I have a method that allows you to save the people of the whole country and let them live the life you want them to live."
Yan Li felt that Rong Changan's tone was a bit wrong, a bit cold, a bit chilling.
"Do you really have a way to make the people live a better life?"
Rong Changan sneered twice, "There must be a way, it depends on whether you are willing to do it or not." Rong Changan looked back at Yan Li, half of her face was facing the sun, and under the sun, the fine hair on her face was shining golden The radiance of his face looked lively and enthusiastic; on the half of his face that was facing away from the sun, it was gloomy, stern and murderous.
Yan Li was slightly startled, "What way?"
A cold light flashed across her eyes, "That's what I told you, replace it!"
With a crash, Yan Li sat down on the chair again, his eyes narrowed to the size of a pinhead, sharp and reproachful.
"Chang'an, you are teaching me to make trouble. This is something that affects the whole family. It is absolutely unacceptable."
Rong Chang'an said, "Li Hai is indulging in pleasure now, and he is building palaces and other gardens everywhere. The temple he built for the Empress Dowager is just the tip of the iceberg. Under his rule, the people will definitely not have a good life. Do you have the heart to see the people displaced? , is life miserable?"
"I don't want to!" Yan Li said without thinking.
"Aside from replacing it, what else can Li Hai do to change his course? Present a memorial? Admonish in person? I think you have already tried these methods, but with little success. Even if Li Hai promised you verbally that he would treat the people's livelihood well, but After retiring from court, he looked another way."
Yan Li lowered his head and bit his lips, "The ruler is the ruler, and the minister is the minister. This is an eternal relationship of superiority and inferiority. If the emperor revolts whenever something is wrong, then the court will have countless Things happen. Is a country in turmoil good for people?"
Rong Changan came out of the sunlight and came to Yan Li, "If you are a foolish emperor, then even if you provoke him to pieces, you will have to drag the emperor down. Besides, you are the former prince, and Li Hai's father came from your father. At that time, his father didn't care what is called a monarch or a minister. Only power can finally determine the direction of the development of things. You have often heard people say that history is written by the victors, As long as you win the world, who cares if you are a usurper?"
"No, no! I can't do this!"
Rong Changan asked, "Why not?"
Yan Li thought about the reason, what he said just now was refuted by Rong Changan, he seemed to be unable to find a proper reason to excuse himself, instead of replacing Li Hai.
"If you can't say it, it means that Li Hai has no reason not to abdicate and give way to the virtuous." Rong Changan said, "On the one hand, Li Hai has no blood relationship with you, and on the other hand, his father once usurped your Yan family. Now you It's just taking back what should belong to you, is there anything wrong?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty once valued me so much, how could I do something ungrateful." Yan Li was entangled.
Rong Changan snorted coldly, "He thinks highly of you, but he just wants to use your ability to overthrow the Queen Mother, and then overthrow me!"
Yan Li raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of astonishment.
"You knew from the beginning that the emperor was going to deal with you and the queen mother?"
