After hearing that Song Qiang had successfully completed the task, Rong Changan laughed happily: "Now Pan Meichen is in a hurry! He wanted to fight me, but I refused to fight, and he was so mad!"
The next morning, Pan Meichen led 50,000 horses to Banpo like a tidal wave. But on Banpo, Rong Chang'an showed his exemption card.
Pan Meichen was so angry that her lungs would explode.
"You go to the slope to challenge, and if you can think of how dirty you are, you can call it dirty. I must fight Rong Changan to the death!"
So a dozen cavalry rode up to the Banpo, let go of their throats and yelled insults, calling Rong Chang'an a bitch who can do everything possible, and scolding her eighteen generations of ancestors, but Rong Chang'an is in the camp at the moment The mirror decals on the inside are yellow, which doesn't bother me at all.
Song Qiang and the others were all bloody men, they couldn't listen to these foul words, so they came to Rong Chang'an's camp together and demanded to fight.
Rong Chang'an's delicate and leisurely voice came from the military tent: "The rebel army is in full swing now. We will definitely lose if we fight with them. Why don't we just let them scold us? They will get tired one day. Time, let's repair the team and wait for the opportunity to catch them off guard."
"But when will the time come?" Song Qiang asked.
The bronze mirror reflected Rong Changan's beautiful temples, bright eyes and bright teeth. What she cares about now is not what Pan Meichen is scolding, but what she cares about is Yan Li who is in the capital.
Li Hai promised that Yan Li would be released, and he also stamped a big seal on the paper. She had to wait for the news of Yan Li's real release from the capital before launching an attack on Pan Meichen. This is a kind of scheming, she used to linger in exchange for Li Hai to truly fulfill her promise.
Li Hai had indeed been paying attention to the battle under his nose. In the past two days, the number of rebels at the North Gate has decreased significantly, and they no longer provoke the city. This is because Rong Chang'an's army played a restraining role.
When Xiao Zuo came to report that Rong Changan led a dozen cavalrymen into the rebel barracks and retreated, Li Hai couldn't help admiring Rong Changan's courage.
When he heard that Rong Chang'an burned Pan Meichen's food and grass at night, Li Hai applauded it even more, and hoped that she would take the opportunity to fight Pan Meichen and completely remove the threat from the capital.
However, what he heard was Rong Changan watching from the sidelines, and Pan Meichen insulting her in every possible way, but she just didn't send troops to fight.
He issued twelve imperial decrees in a row, urging Rong Changan to send troops immediately, but she refused to send troops on the grounds of "the general is away, and the military orders are not accepted".
Although Li Hai was angry in his heart, it was not easy to attack her. After all, she has 100,000 troops in her hand, and she is still needed to defeat Pan Meichen.
Rong Chang'an, Rong Chang'an, when the crisis in the capital is resolved, if I refuse to send troops to you, I can convict you of staying in front of the army and execute you Ling Chi!
As Li Hai thought about it, a murderous look appeared in his deep eyes.
Zi Yan was right in front of her, and when she heard the news of the meticulous work, she rolled her charming eyes, smiled openly and said to Li Hai: "Your Majesty, Rong Chang'an disobeyed and disrespected the order, and missed the opportunity. What is she doing?"
Li Hai pinched his chin, his face was tense, and worried: "Who knows what she is going to do! The army is hers, and she can do whatever she likes!"
What Li Hai said was obviously angry.
Zi Yan walked up behind Li Hai, stretched out her mushroom-like hands, and put them gently on Li Hai's shoulders, gently kneading them.
"Your Majesty, you didn't see it, but I saw it..."
The soft voice made Li Hai's mind flutter.
"My lord, what do you see?"
Zi Yan curled her vermilion lips and snorted coldly: "Rong Chang'an is going to betray his country and turn to the enemy!"
Li Hai's dragon body trembled slightly, and he turned to look at Zi Yan: "Your concubine, where did you come from?"
Zi Yan carefully analyzed for him: "Your Majesty, I have also heard good news one after another in the past two days, saying that Rong Chang'an went to the rebel camp, frustrated the rebel army, and later burned the rebel army's food and grass. The rebels must be in chaos. If there is nothing to eat, everyone will be in chaos."
"At this time, it is the best time to attack the rebels, but Rong Changan ignored such a good situation and gave lectures on the art of war in the barracks every day. It is clear that she had already had contact with Pan Meichen secretly, and the two I made some kind of agreement. I think it won't be long before Rong Changan will turn his weapons and attack the capital together with Pan Meichen? Originally, Pan Meichen's 100,000 troops were already difficult to deal with, but now with the addition of Rong Changan's 100,000 troops, Why don't they trample the capital to pieces?"
Li Hai realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly asked Zi Yan: "If this is the case, then we are really doomed! Concubine, do you have a plan?"
Zi Yan smiled: "Your Majesty, if I had no plan, I wouldn't have said such things to make you worry..."
"Then quickly tell me, what method can we use to resolve the current potential crisis?" Li Hai asked anxiously.
Ziyan said: "The best way to prevent Rong Changan from cooperating with the enemy and rebelling is to issue an imperial decree immediately, arrange for another person to replace Rong Changan, let Rong Changan return to the capital, and detain her. At the same time, the 100,000 yuan in her hand With the army in the emperor's hands, the crisis in Rong Chang'an can be resolved, and the emperor has the capital to deal with Pan Meichen."
Li Hai narrowed his eyes, thought for a long time, and shook his head: "This is inappropriate! Rong Changan's 100,000 troops are all loyal to her, how could they be used by me? If I imprison Rong Changan, they will definitely rebel! Not right, not right!"
Zi Yan thought about it again: "If she can't seize her military power, then the emperor can send a confidant to the camp to be a supervisor to monitor Rong Chang'an's every move. If she is really collaborating with the enemy and treason, she can be beheaded."
It is possible to send a supervising army, but who to send
On this issue, Li Hai and Zi Yan thought of one thing: "Liu Yiming!"
Liu Yiming is Li Hai's diehard loyalist, and he will definitely be able to complete the task of monitoring Rong Chang'an for Li Hai.
But Li Hai felt that it was not enough to just send Liu Yiming there.
"Liu Yiming had to accompany another person, Rong Chang'an was willing to do his best to fight against Pan Meichen's rebels for me."
"Who is it?" Zi Yan asked.
"Yan Li!"
Li Hai was very reluctant to mention this name, but he vaguely felt that Rong Changan's lingering had something to do with him not releasing Yan Li.
…
In the dungeon, Yan Lizhen sat on the ground with his hands on his lower abdomen. This is a meditation method he learned from a layman. He can see his nature clearly and see the true meaning of life through the fog of worldly affairs.
And what is his true meaning? It's what he said invariably in front of Rong Chang'an: He Qing Haiyan, the country is peaceful and the people are safe! For this, I bowed and died.
Suddenly, slow and hesitant footsteps came from the cold stone steps, and Yan Li could tell that they were Li Hai's footsteps.
But Li Hai didn't go down the stone steps, but stood on top of the stone steps. Since Li Hai had his back to the fire, what Yan Li saw was just a black shadow of Li Hai.
"Yan Li, how have you been reflecting on yourself recently? Do you know where you went wrong?" Li Hai's gloomy voice passed through the cold ground and reached Yan Li's ears.
Yan Li used to think that he was wrong, and there was no need to give up his bright future for those people who had little relationship with him, but since he meditated, he felt more and more that he was not wrong at all.
"Your Majesty, I do my best to serve the people. I don't know what's wrong? On the contrary, it's the Emperor who has exhausted the power of the people just to please a woman. Is this the way of being a king?"
Li Hai snorted coldly, turned his face away, and did not look at Yan Li's prison, "It seems that the few days of house arrest have not changed you."
Yan Li said: "Since there is nothing wrong, how can we change it? Please let the emperor express it?"
Li Hai held back his anger. This Yan Li's temper is getting more and more stubborn, at least he is the king or the emperor, Yan Li has to give him a little face, so that he can give the order to let Yan Li go out!
"Hmph, Yan Li, do you want to spend your whole life in prison?"
