The last time I went to negotiate, Liu Yiming and Pan Meichen met, and they recognized each other.
Pan Meichen glared and gnashed her teeth, pointing at him and shouting: "You bastard, you agreed to my terms, but you backtracked. I'm going to tear you to pieces today!"
Slashing with the knife, the blade slid across Liu Yiming's arm, Liu Yiming let out a muffled grunt, and fell to the ground.
"Die!"
Pan Meichen raised the big knife high and slashed at Liu Yiming's body. Liu Yiming's body was stiff, and he watched a cold light slide over the knife.
But there was only a crash, and Pan Meichen's big knife cut off a willow leaf, and it fell on Liu Yiming's body with a rustle. At the same time, the knife sank into the willow branch and could not be pulled out for a while.
What a god-given chance to escape, Liu Yiming scrambled and scrambled to escape from the battle ring, leaving more than a thousand imperial guards behind, like a bereaved dog, slumped back to the camp.
At this time, when he heard that Rong Changan and Yan Li had already captured Waqiao Pass, he couldn't help but feel evil, and his evil eyes shot a chilling look: "Rong Changan, you asked me to stop Pan Meichen, but it was actually just You just lied to me, let me fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain, you and Yan Li, Song Qiang and others can steal military merits for yourself! Hmph, with me, Liu Yiming, I will make your meritorious deeds guilty!"
Liu Yiming immediately wrote a memorial and ordered his confidants to rush back to the capital without stopping and deliver it to Li Hai.
…
the capital. Prosperity and hustle and bustle were dispelled by this war, leaving only depression and sadness.
Li Hai stood on the wall of the imperial palace, wearing an apricot-yellow cloak, looking at the north gate from a distance, wondering how the gunpowder smoke at the north gate is at this moment? I don't know, can he escape this catastrophe
After Qingming in April, it rained heavily, and Zi Yan stood beside Li Hai, holding an umbrella for him.
Since discovering Li Hai's secret, Zi Yan has loved, hated and feared him, but on the surface, she still pretends to be considerate and soft.
"Your Majesty, you have been standing on the city wall for an hour, why don't we go back to the bedroom! I'll make you a bowl of brown sugar and ginger water to get rid of the cold, okay?"
In fact, seeing the sadness in Li Hai's eyes, Zi Yan was very happy. Who told him to attack so ruthlessly that even the Queen Mother, a 70-year-old old man, would not be spared!
Li Hai turned his face that was wet by the rain, and stared at Zi Yan eagerly, almost crying like that.
"Noble Concubine, there are only two people by my side to rely on now. One is Eunuch Liu, and the other is you! If... if Pan Meichen breaks into the capital, will you go to Jiangnan with me?"
Li Hai just wanted to test Ziyan, if he saw that Ziyan was unfaithful, he would kill him. In a situation where many relatives are deserted, he must not keep a person who is not loyal to him by his side, otherwise it will be very dangerous. An unfaithful person will betray him and provide him to Pan Meichen for money and a better future.
Zi Yan saw a hint of probing in Li Hai's sharp eyes.
In order to appease him, Ziyan tidied up Li Hai's cloak, patted the raindrops on the cloak, and thoughtfully said: "Since Ziyan has promised to be the emperor's concubine, she will be born as the emperor's man and die as the emperor's ghost." Wherever the emperor goes, Ziyan will never leave, and will follow you to the ends of the earth!"
Zi Yan's voice was full of emotion, her voice was full of tears, and all the listeners shed tears.
The excited Li Hai stretched out his cold and skinny hand, and held Zi Yan tightly.
The moment Zi Yan touched his hand, her entire body trembled.
His blood is cold, and his heart must also be cold. Such a cruel person, following him has no good end.
"If you are willing to follow me, if I can make a comeback in the future, I will definitely share the country with you!"
Anyone who says that the country is divided equally is hypocritical.
"A concubine doesn't want any country, I only want the emperor's heart!"
Li Hai shook his hands excitedly: "I swear, as long as Pan Meichen's rebel army retreats, I will make you queen, drive all three thousand beauties out of the palace, and leave you alone! If I violate this oath, I will not Terrible!"
Zi Yan was as happy as a flower: "If the emperor can really treat me like this, the concubine will die without regret!"
Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes came from under the city wall. Li Hai and Ziyan followed the prestige, and ran from a steed through the weeping willows like smoke, across the Jinshui River, and came to the palace.
Looking at his dusty appearance, he knew that there was an urgent message.
"It must be the military situation before the battle." If Rong Changan loses the battle, Zi Yan will go back to pack up his belongings, prepare to escape from the palace, and meet Liu Yiming; if Rong Changan wins the battle, besides cursing her, Zi Yan will also think about it There is a way to create a gap between Li Hai and her.
Li Hai was trembling, wanting to hear the battle report ahead, but also afraid of hearing bad news.
"Your majesty, what's the matter with you? Did you catch a cold?" Zi Yan had an insight into Li Hai's strangeness.
Embarrassment flashed across Li Hai's face.
"It's not that I'm catching a cold. There was a gust of cool wind just now, which chilled me. It's much better now!"
He was obviously afraid, but pretended to be blown by the wind, how good at pretending! Zi Yan covered her face with her hands, and smiled contemptuously.
After a while, Eunuch Liu dragged his aging body and slowly came to Li Hai's side. Whenever the wind blows, his old eyes will cry.
Seeing Li Hai, he felt very unlucky in his heart.
"Your Majesty, there is a battle report ahead!"
Zi Yan replied for Li Hai: "I want him to come up!"
The man was wearing a Fanyang felt lily, his body was wet, and there was a lot of mud splashed on his trouser legs.
"Your Majesty, this is General Rong's battle report, please read it!"
Eunuch Liu took over the battle report sealed with oiled paper, and opened it. The oiled paper was still wrapped with a layer of silk. When he untied the silk, he saw the special documents inside.
"Your majesty, is this old slave reading to you, or is it the emperor who read it for you personally?"
Li Hai waved his hand: "Read it..."
"Follow the order!"
Eunuch Liu opened the official document, cleared his throat, and read aloud: "The general who protects the country, the queen of the Dajing Kingdom, Rong Chang'an, bows down to His Majesty the Emperor of the Dajing Kingdom. Today, our army has defeated the 100,000 rebels at the north gate of the capital. Down the slope of the outer board, attack Waqiaoguan, take advantage of the victory to seize... "
Li Hai's dark eyes became brighter and brighter, pointing at Eunuch Liu: "Show me the battle report!"
Eunuch Liu kept wiping away his tears while reading, and he didn't know whether he was crying because he saw the wind, or because he was excited to see the good news.
Li Hai simply grabbed the battle report from Eunuch Liu. I saw his bright eyes moving quickly on the small folds, the shadow between the brows and the gloom on his face were finally washed away.
"it is good!"
Li Hai closed the folder with a snap, and threw it back to Eunuch Liu.
"Queen Rong deserves to be the general protecting the country of the Great Jing Kingdom. As soon as she comes out, she will beat Pan Meichen to pieces, and even arrest the relatives of the Bai family and Lin family and bring them back to the court. It is really gratifying! If Queen Rong comes back, I must seal her …”
Zi Yan stepped on Li Hai's heel beside him, and gave him a look.
Li Hai understood in his heart that Rong Changan's achievements in the military would definitely increase his prestige, and Li Hai could only become her foil.
Ziyan grinned and showed her white teeth: "Queen Rong has made great contributions to our Great Jing Kingdom, and she must be rewarded for her merits. The emperor has to discuss how to reward her, otherwise, if the rewards and punishments are unknown, some people in the army will not be convinced." gone."
Li Hai coughed twice: "Concubine Ziyan is right, how to reward Empress Rong and her subordinates, I have to go back and discuss with other ministers before making a decision!" He pointed to the reporter and said, "Go back to the camp first , pass on my oral order to reward the whole army!" Then he turned to Eunuch Liu and said, "You send a thousand altars of royal wine treasured in my harem to Empress Rong's camp urgently, and reward the whole army!"
"Follow the order!" After receiving the order, Eunuch Liu and the messenger went down from the gate tower and went to work separately.
"Your Majesty, if it's convenient for you, we might as well go to my palace and review the matter of Empress Rong's victory..." Zi Yan cast a meaningful look at Li Hai.
"I'm going to have a discussion with you!"
