One master and one servant, leaving those ministers behind, left the Shang study, and went to find Ziyan.
The empty Shang Study Room was deadly silent.
"What shall we do now?" Minister of the Ministry of Industry asked the other officials.
The other officials looked at each other, not knowing how to answer this question.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry glanced at the officials: "If you don't run away, I will run away!"
As soon as the words fell, he left Shangshu's room like a puff of smoke, ran out from Jingyang Gate, and disguised himself as a commoner, slipped away from Nanxun Gate.
The same goes for other officials.
Li Hai came to Ziyan's palace and shouted anxiously: "Ziyan! Ziyan! My noble concubine, where are you?"
But the entire palace was searched, but there was no sign of Ziyan.
Li Hai was discouraged, and leaned against a large water tank, his whole body was weak, his eyes were full of distress, and he muttered to himself: "The noble concubine also abandoned me, she doesn't care about my life or death!"
Eunuch Liu comforted Li Hai and said, "Perhaps Concubine Ziyan has gone out and hasn't returned to the palace yet!" Eunuch Liu pointed to a maidservant in the palace and asked, "Where is your master?"
The maid said: "I was still in the palace just now, I don't know where I went now!"
Eunuch Liu said: "Hurry up and find her, you must find her back, just say that the emperor is looking for her."
The servant girl agreed, and went out of the palace gate to look around. Ziyan was discussing with Liu Yiming in the gazebo in the imperial garden.
"Master Liu also knows the current situation. If we don't take some actions, we won't be able to survive this mutiny."
Liu Yiming looked into Zi Yan's deep eyes, and there was a trace of cunning in the depths of the eyes, "What does the so-called action of the imperial concubine mean?"
Zi Yan smiled: "Master Liu is a smart person, don't you understand?"
Liu Yiming rolled his eyes and smiled, "I really don't understand."
Zi Yan looked at the colorful colors in the imperial garden.
"You and I are on the same boat now. We were the ones who made the plan to assassinate Yan Li and detain Rong Chang'an. Now that Yan Li has entered the capital, the emperor must take his anger out on us. Before the palace is breached, he must Kill us both to vent our anger."
Hearing this, Liu Yiming shivered, and his Adam's apple turned, "Then what should we do now?"
Zi Yan smiled confidently, and suddenly looked back at Liu Yiming with anticipation in his eyes.
"I've already figured out a solution. As long as you listen to me and we work together, not only will nothing happen in this chaos, but the future of you and me, especially your future, will be bright."
Liu Yiming didn't understand Zi Yan's words very well, he frowned and asked, "Let's talk about it, concubine, what can I do? Your words tickle my heart."
Ziyan laughed loudly, "Do you know who the people of Dajing Kingdom hate the most?"
Liu Yiming lowered his face, thought for a while, and shook his head: "I don't know!"
Zi Yan said: "It's the emperor."
"Your Majesty?" Liu Yiming shouted in surprise.
"That's right, it's the emperor!" Ziyan said, "The emperor and the queen mother were at odds, and regardless of the love between mother and child, they killed the queen mother, which caused the foreign relatives to join forces with the feudal town to invade the capital, causing a series of reactions, and finally led to the rebellion of the Yanli cavalry today. If you don't hate the emperor, who do you hate?"
Liu Yiming originally thought that Zi Yan wanted to say that the people hated the most was him, Liu Yiming, and he was sweating in his heart! Unexpectedly, Ziyan was talking about Li Hai.
He thought about it for a while, and felt that what Ziyan said was not wrong. If it weren't for Li Hai's inability to live in harmony with the Queen Mother, how could there be so many rebellions? How could it have evolved into today's bad results without the rebellion? All this is due to the fact that Li Hai has no political skills and is not worthy of being an emperor.
Seeing that Liu Yiming was deep in thought, Ziyan asked again: "Master Liu, who do you know the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty hate the most?"
Liu Yiming looked embarrassed: "Is the concubine making fun of me?"
Ziyan chuckled, in such a situation where the country was ruined and the family was ruined, Ziyan could still laugh. Liu Yiming really admired her calmness.
"Lord Liu, do you think I'm talking about you? Then you're wrong. The person most hated by civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty is actually the emperor..."
"The emperor again?" The creases between Liu Yiming's brows deepened, "The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are supported by the emperor, how could they hate the emperor?"
Ziyan smiled charmingly: "You're right. The civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty are supported by the emperor's rations, but the emperor is jealous of the virtuous and capable, and eliminates dissidents. As long as the ability is stronger than him, he is afraid that the other party will help the queen mother instead of helping him, so he will help the queen mother." Kill capable officials. Do you know who killed the former prime minister?"
At that time Liu Yiming was still a scholar and not an official, so he really didn't know about the political struggles inside.
Seeing Liu Yiming's blank face, Zi Yan continued: "It's the emperor! The emperor thought that the prime minister belonged to the queen mother, so he poisoned the prime minister. After eradicating it, the emperor wanted to make the people around him the prime minister. It's a pity that he saw Wrong person, thinking that Yan Li would become his right-hand man, but Yan Li betrayed him for the sake of Rong Changan."
After Zi Yan sorted it out, Liu Yiming also felt that it was true, so he nodded and sighed in his heart, if Li Hai hadn't admitted the wrong person, today's situation would not be like this.
Zi Yan asked again: "Master Liu, do you know who Yan Li, Song Qiang and Rong Chang'an hate the most?"
Liu Yiming has figured out Ziyan's logic, and replied without thinking: "It's the emperor..."
"That's right, it's the emperor!" Zi Yan broke down, "If the emperor didn't force Yan Li step by step, Yan Li wouldn't be against the imperial court; if the emperor didn't alienate Rong Changan step by step, Rong Changan wouldn't have thrown himself into Yan Li embrace."
Ziyan's words concealed that she and Liu Yiming were behind the scenes, and Liu Yiming thought that was the case, so he was very happy.
Ziyan put her pink and snow-white slender hand on Liu Yiming's shoulder again: "Since all the faults are the emperor, what are we afraid of?"
Liu Yiming's body trembled slightly: "Are we going to tell Yan Li about the emperor's sins, and ask Yan Li to let us go and deal with the emperor wholeheartedly?"
Zi Yan shook her head and looked at Liu Yiming meaningfully: "There is no need for us to have an interview with Yan Li."
Ziyan paused, and then asked Liu Yiming, "You know that among the ancient peoples, there was a ritual called the ritual of killing sheep. They regarded the fat and tender lamb as the carrier of all evil diseases and disasters, and they either killed the lamb or killed it. Either drive the lamb out, and the ancient peoples believed that after doing so, all evils, disasters and diseases would disappear."
Liu Yiming's pupils dilated little by little: "You mean..."
Zi Yan thought that Liu Yiming understood what she meant, and a charming light flashed in his eyes.
At this time, the servant girl also came to look for Zi Yan, "Grand Concubine, the emperor is looking for you in the palace, it's urgent, I want you to go back immediately!"
Both Ziyan and Liu Yiming were taken aback and looked at each other.
Zi Yan asked the maid vigilantly: "Do you know what the emperor wants me for?"
The maid shook her head like a rattle: "I don't know, I just feel that the emperor is very anxious."
