A dozen or so court ladies were recorded, and they all encountered the same situation. They were all small mistakes and omissions, and they were imprisoned by Li Hai in this narrow courtyard.
A eunuch suddenly came outside and said to Yan Li: "Your Majesty, the ministers have been waiting in the Shangshu room for a long time now, I hope the Emperor will pass quickly."
Yan Li stretched his waist and recorded ten maids. He was indeed very tired. Seeing that there were hundreds of court ladies kneeling in the yard, it was impossible to finish the recording in one day. What's more, the minister over there in Shang's study is urging again.
So Yan Li said apologetically to all the court ladies: "Why don't you come here today, and I will continue to listen tomorrow and handle it as appropriate."
A court lady was grateful, and said: "The emperor will not be late tomorrow. Anyway, we have been imprisoned here for a long time, and we don't care about one more day. Besides, the emperor recorded so many people in a day, it is hard enough, why don't you rest your body, Continue tomorrow."
These maids are so considerate and understanding, Yan Li was very moved, he thought he would come over early tomorrow morning, and try to release all the maids here so that they can see the light of day again.
A court lady handed Yan Li a quick handkerchief, Yan Li wiped it and returned the handkerchief to her.
"Don't worry, I will come back tomorrow, and I will let you go out as soon as possible!"
The palace maid said with wet eyes: "Don't worry, the emperor's dragon body is important!"
Yan Li was about to get up, but he heard a delicate voice crying, crying and said: "When can I go out with this recording method! I can't stay in this place for a moment. If Wait until tomorrow, and I will die within a day!"
He was crying miserably, and Yan Li heard the voice familiar, so he asked the maid: "Who is crying?"
There was a displeasure on the maid's face: "It's not someone, it's the imperial concubine Ziyan who brought disaster to the Great Jing Kingdom! This person is usually very arrogant and domineering, and she is lucky to be able to stay with us in this place !"
That day Yan Li only said to lock Ziyan up, but he didn't want to be locked up in this courtyard. He originally intended to pardon her, but Rong Changan was around at the time, so he couldn't do so. Hearing her crying again today, Yan Xin became soft again.
"Although Ziyan instigated Li Hai to do some bad things in the previous dynasty, she still has merit. She killed Li Hai and saved the queen, which is considered a great achievement, and she has made up for it. Everyone is more open-minded. Give Ziyan A chance to repent, okay?"
Yan Li then asked, "Where is Zi Yan?"
All the court ladies separated, and at the end, Zi Yan was kneeling next to the flowers, her hair was in a mess, her tears were deeply stained, and her moist eyes were charming.
It is not necessarily the appearance that can fascinate a man, sometimes being weak and pitiful is the ultimate skill to conquer a man. Seeing such purple smoke, Yan Li couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
"Zi Yan, you have been locked up in this cold palace for the past few days, have you ever reflected on the mistakes you made in the past?"
Ziyan was crying and wiping away tears, her soft voice and moving expression made Yan Li feel pity spontaneously.
"My maidservant regrets too much. I just feel that the things in the past are like dreams, and they don't seem to be real. Ziyan thought about it carefully, and the reason is only Li Hai. He is the most powerful person in Dajing Kingdom. He called me I will do whatever I do. Li Hai instigated me to do the things that hurt the court ladies. I hope the new emperor can give Ziyan a chance to reform, contribute to the country, share the worries of the emperor, and let our The new dynasty is thriving and growing stronger and stronger."
Ziyan snotted her nose and burst into tears, making her voice hoarse from crying.
Yan Li thought for a while, then asked Zi Yan: "If you are let out, what can you do?"
Zi Yan rolled her eyes, and said humbly: "The emperor asks me to do anything, as long as you give me a chance to redeem my sins."
Seeing that she was sincere and that she was Li Hai's noble concubine, Yan Li deliberately wanted to arrange a place for her.
"Well, I heard that there is a palace outside the gate of the East Palace. The environment is elegant, and there are many books in it. Why don't you go there and read in it every day. If you read a lot, you will know a lot of truths. Once the reason is clear, then people will seldom make mistakes.”
When Ziyan heard it, it was really good not to pursue her crimes, but she couldn't get close to Yan Li, and couldn't please him, so she could only spend the rest of her life in that palace from now on, without a bright future.
Seeing the displeasure in Zi Yan's eyes, Yan Li said, "Why, Zi Yan doesn't want to go there?"
Ziyan said: "My servant wants to serve the emperor now, even if she pours tea and water for the emperor, and walks around every day, she is willing, because in this way, my sins can be redeemed. Going to study in the palace...doing nothing, it would be too leisurely." No, I... I can't afford such good treatment. I also ask the emperor to send it again."
Yan Li smiled and said, "Do you think it's an easy thing for me to ask you to move to that palace? I want you to familiarize yourself with "Biography of a Martyr" and "The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Zuo Family", and tell me the experience of writing a thousand words every day. What kind of life principles have been learned from reading. If the writing is not up to standard, I will punish you."
Zi Yan frowned: "Reading and writing experience? This..." Sweet talk to men, gossip, this is Zi Yan's forte, but when she goes to study, she is very disgusted.
Seeing Ziyan's reluctance, Yan Li's eyes suddenly turned cold, "If Ziyan is unwilling, I won't force you, just stay here!"
Zi Yan hurriedly shouted: "I am willing! I am willing! Since the emperor gave me a chance to repent, I must take it seriously."
"That's good! I will visit you from time to time. If you see something that you don't understand, you can ask me."
"Follow the order!"
Yan Li ordered the eunuch next to him to take Ziyan away and put her in a small two-story building called Lingfeng Pavilion outside the gate of the East Palace.
When Yan Li came to Shangshufang, many officials were impatient.
"Your Majesty, you asked us to come to discuss the matter, but we didn't come. I don't know what was delayed."
"I think the emperor left us here on purpose. After all, we are ministers of the previous dynasty. We also visited him in front of the previous emperor. He must hold a grudge."
"I believe the emperor will not retaliate against us. If he is really such a stingy person, he can't be the emperor."
Yan Li couldn't help laughing. Some ministers really treat the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Not only will he not retaliate against them, but he will also use them according to their ability to make them do things sincerely for the people.
Yan Li coughed and coughed twice, and the ministers seemed to be frightened, and they stood upright in silence, not daring to breathe.
Yan Li strode into the room and sat on the dragon chair. Such a big dragon chair, even though it was covered with a dragon and phoenix cushion, Yan Li still felt a little cold, and it was very uncomfortable to sit on.
"What are you talking about?" Yan Li's sharp eyes glanced at the ministers, but no one dared to look up at him.
Everyone is trembling, as if a sharp sword is hanging above their heads, ready to fall at any moment.
