The eunuch took the imperial decree and came to Rong Changan's side: "Queen Rong accepts the decree!"
Just now Eunuch Liu sent the imperial wine, here is another imperial decree, the decree is so dense, is there any difference between the two
Rong Changan knelt on the ground: "Rong Changan receives the order!"
The eunuch opened the imperial decree, coughed and cleared his throat twice, and read aloud: "By heaven, the emperor's decree says..."
As soon as they heard the "opening remarks", Song Qiang and the others all looked over and listened attentively to see if Li Hai had any intentions to convey.
Liu Yiming was buried in the wine tank, watching and listening eagerly, wishing that Rong Chang'an, Yan Li and others would be executed.
Yan Li thought it was Li Hai's conscience, and re-drafted the decree, rewarding Rong Chang'an, Song Qiang and others for their contribution to suppressing the rebellion.
The entire avenue was quiet, as if the road also had a spirituality, and everyone was listening to what the eunuch had to say.
"Protecting the country, Marshal Pingbei Marshal Rong Chang'an, who is well-mannered, led the heavenly army, fought against the North Gate, broke Yanyun, seized the tile bridge, chased Panmei, captured foreign relatives, wiped out 100,000 rebels, and returned our country's peace, credit There is nothing bigger than this. I have recorded the credit of Empress Rong in the credit book. However, Empress Rong is defiant, despises the king's law, does not obey orders, and treats the angel Liu Jianjun as nothing. The might of my heavenly army has caused the people of my Great Jing Kingdom to endure hardships for many days."
"Compensation of merits and demerits, rewards and punishments go hand in hand, I can't help feeling sad when I think of this. I hope that Empress Rong will encourage herself more in the future. If there is no merit or demerit, she will be the pillar of our country and the needle to fix the sea! Now that the north has been settled, Empress Rong should return quickly Gong, to participate in military research with me. Here you go!"
Before the eunuch finished reading, Rong Chang'an's subordinates started clamoring.
"Damn it, what kind of imperial decree is this? Those who have merit are said to be at fault! How can we serve the country in the future!"
"There must be treacherous ministers making irresponsible remarks by the emperor's side!"
"General Rong, if the emperor doesn't reward you, don't go back to the palace and see what he can do to you!"
"The treacherous ministers are the three people in front of me!"
These three people refer to Eunuch Liu, the eunuch who read the imperial decree, and Liu Yiming who was put in the wine tank.
"Everyone cut down those two eunuchs, and then cut down that supervising army!"
Everyone picked up their big knives one after another and rushed towards the three of them.
Yan Li stood in front of Eunuch Liu and shouted back the rioting soldiers: "This matter has nothing to do with Eunuch Liu, please don't mess around!"
Everyone knows that Yan Li has a good relationship with Rong Chang'an, so he didn't make things difficult for him. He showed his sword and stared at Liu Yiming: "Everyone cut down Liu Jianjun, who is pretending to be a tiger!"
Dozens of swords looked even more ruthless and terrifying against the firelight. Just when Liu Yiming thought he was doomed, Rong Changan's soft and firm voice came from behind the angry sergeant.
"Stop it all of you! If anyone doesn't hear about it and continues to mess around, he will no longer be my Rong Changan's subordinate!"
Song Qiang was filled with indignation: "General Rong, they must have spoken ill of you in front of the emperor, that's why the emperor treated you like this, it's so unfair! Without you, the entire capital now belongs to Pan Meichen. The emperor will no longer speak of the emperor. It’s just that you don’t reward your achievements, and you say you are at fault, who will accept it? Anyway, I don’t accept it!”
The corner of Rong Changan's mouth twitched into a sneer. The reason why treacherous ministers can stay by the emperor's side and slander him shows that the emperor is not a good thing either.
"Don't bother, I'm going back to the capital. I want to ask the emperor personally why he doesn't reward my subordinates."
If Ziyan was talking nonsense around Li Hai, she would definitely leave two more scars on Ziyan's face.
"Now the emperor and the noble concubine are very afraid of you. If the general goes to Beijing like this, aren't you afraid that they will do something against you?" Song Qiang reminded.
Rong Changan whispered in Song Qiang's ear: "As long as you manage the army well, the emperor will definitely not dare to do anything to me."
Yan Li was also very worried about Rong Changan's return to the capital. Even though Li Hai's edict only said "to participate in military research", Yan Li could faintly smell murderous intent between the lines.
"Chang'an, I'll go back to the capital with you."
Rong Chang'an's gentle gaze hit Yan Li's face, calming Yan Li's inner worries: "Are you afraid that something will happen to me? I gave Li Hai a hundred courage, but he didn't dare to do anything to me. You stay in Waqiao Guan, manage the team well with Song Qiang. If Li Hai still wants to put down Yanyun, then I will come back and continue to fight with you. If I am in danger, you can also lead these 100,000 soldiers to force Li Hai. As a last resort, you will attack Enter the capital, kill Li Hai, and become emperor yourself!"
Rong Changan said the following words very lightly, and only she and Yan Li could hear them.
Rong Changan didn't want Yan Li to follow into the capital, because he didn't want Yan Li to have an accident with her. Although he knew that Li Hai would not dare to do anything to her, there was an unknown number beside him, and that was the sinister Ziyan.
"Chang'an, I won't be the emperor, I want to do what you want!"
Li Hai's actions made Yan Li more and more chilling, but letting him break through the capital and become emperor himself, he really couldn't cross the moral threshold.
Rong Chang'an smiled sweetly: "The female emperors in history have a bad reputation. I don't want future generations to call me a vicious woman. This time, if something happens to me, you must be the emperor, otherwise you will not be able to save me. I."
"Chang'an..." Yan Li's eyes were full of affection, and there were many, many thoughts hidden in them, and Rong Chang'an seemed to understand them all.
"Stop talking, I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore."
Then, Rong Chang'an ordered Song Qiang to lead the troublesome officers and soldiers back to their respective camps.
"It's getting late, everyone leave!"
As a result, everyone gradually dispersed, and the noisy avenue slowly became calm again.
It was already dark.
Under the cold April night sky in the north, the sleepless Rong Changan heard the familiar sound of the flute again, which was beautiful and slightly sad. This time, she did not get up to follow the sound to interview the flute player. No matter how much she said, she was saying goodbye, and this farewell, she didn't know what kind of situation she would face.
When the sky was dim, Yan Li came to find Rong Changan, he wanted to ask her why she didn't go out last night. When he lifted the curtain, Rong Changan was already gone on the camp bed.
"Chang'an! Chang'an!"
Yan Li ran out of the military tent and questioned the guarding soldiers: "Where is General Rong?"
The soldier replied: "General Rong returned to the capital with Lord Liu, Eunuch Liu and others early in the morning!"
How to leave without saying a word, say goodbye!
"Prime Minister Yan, General Rong has a letter for you!"
As he said that, the soldier handed the pink Xue Tao manuscript paper to Yan Li.
Yan Li quickly opened it, only to see the words in beautiful handwriting: "Short separation, there is no need for a long pavilion to return to a short pavilion. Remember what I said before, if you don't become the emperor, it will be difficult for Qing to get out of the cage. Take care! Take care!"
