Song Qiang was taken aback for a moment, not believing that Yan Li really came to rescue him.
"Since you already know, I have nothing to say. I have no complaints or regrets about what happened tonight. Don't pretend to be kind in front of me. If you were really kind, you wouldn't put General Rong under house arrest in Fenghuang." Ming Palace."
Yan Li knew that the house arrest of Rong Chang'an would definitely cause misunderstanding, "Do you know why I put Chang'an under house arrest?"
Song Qiang didn't give Yan Li face at all: "Because you don't miss the old love, you don't look the same as before you became the emperor, but you look different after becoming the emperor. You don't touch your conscience, General Rong How kind to you at the beginning."
Yan Li felt a pain in his heart, the kind of pain that was not understood. If he doesn't explain clearly, Song Qiang will hate Yan Li for the rest of his life and never forgive him again.
"That day I planned to make Rong Chang'an the queen of the new dynasty, but I was opposed by many ministers..."
Before Yan Li finished speaking, Song Qiang said angrily: "What qualifications do they have to object! Let me ask, in Dajing Kingdom, who else is suitable to be a queen except General Rong? Moreover, she has made great contributions, and those ministers are all blind Yet?"
"That's what I told them at the time, but they agreed that Rong Chang'an had killed too many people, and she was the queen of Li Hai in the previous dynasty. It would be unkind and inauspicious to appoint her as the queen of the new dynasty."
With a bang, Song Qiang's fist hit the table, missing a corner of the table.
"Those ministers are either stupid, or they have some kind of ulterior motive. If I had been there that day, I would have spit in the faces of each of them. If anyone obstructed me again, I would drag them out and beat him up." As the emperor, you are supreme, the most powerful person in the Dajing Kingdom, they say theirs, you name your queen, they will do nothing to you."
Yan Li shook his head, feeling that Song Qiang's thoughts were still too simple, and he didn't consider that the appointment of a queen involved many things.
"If I were just a general, I would do the same as you. But I am the emperor, and I have to take care of many things, and I have to consider the opinions of the ministers."
Song Qiang snorted, and cast a contemptuous look at Yan Li: "What are you thinking about? It's nothing more than thinking about whether your imperial power is stable or not."
Unexpectedly, Song Qiang misunderstood him so deeply, Yan Li was very sad, "I want to ask you, the ministers knelt on the ground, from morning to night, they must persuade me not to register, what should I do?"
Song Qiang said: "Then you let them kneel, they deserve it if they kneel to death!"
A wry smile appeared on Yan Li's face: "If they keep kneeling, they will definitely think that I don't listen to the opinions of the ministers and that I am not suitable to be emperor. If the court is not in harmony and the monarch and ministers are not in harmony, how will I govern the country? Govern the country No, what will happen to the people? Song Qiang, have you thought about this?"
Song Qiang was furious, not only dissatisfied with Yan Li, but also felt that what Yan Li said made sense, "Then you don't want to be this useless emperor!"
Song Qiang's words touched Yan Li's heart.
"You think I want to be an emperor? It wasn't because of you and Rong Chang'an that I didn't want to be an emperor! How nice it is to be an ordinary person, don't have to think so much, dare to love, dare to hate, and be free. Even if you are not an ordinary person, with You're the same, it's good to be a general. You can scold whoever you want. But since I have already achieved the position of emperor, I can't easily get down."
Song Qiang snorted again: "Is this because you are greedy for power?"
Yan Li really wanted to take out his heart and show it to Song Qiang and Rong Changan.
He is not a person who is greedy for power, nor is he an ungrateful person who keeps his oath, but he just cannot help himself and was kidnapped by the word "emperor".
"If I abdicate and pass the throne to anyone, if the distribution of power is not good and the change is not smooth, then there will be bloodshed, palace changes, coups, mutinies, and even national turmoil and civil wars. Song Qiang, you Have you thought about this?"
Bang, click! Song Qiang punched the table again, missing the other table leg, gearing up, as if he was about to hit someone.
"You can't do this, you can't do that, this emperor is so useless!"
Yes, there are so many helplessness in life.
"If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government. Only when you become the emperor will you know that the emperor has no freedom compared to ordinary people."
"In order to quell the minister's comments, you can treat General Rong as an abandoned son, a scapegoat, and put her under house arrest? Yan Li, your heart is too cruel!"
When talking about this matter, Yan Li's eyes sparkled, full of tenderness, "Do you think I put Rong Chang'an under house arrest for myself? Just like I came here today, I also put her under house arrest for saving her. "
Song Qiang said bluntly, "I don't understand what you mean."
Yan Li said: "Think about it, if I don't put Rong Changan under house arrest, if she kills the minister of the Ministry of Industry, will the other ministers let her go? She must be persuaded to act in accordance with the law. I will put Rong Changan under house arrest. On the one hand, I can temporarily To appease the ministers' criticism; on the one hand, it can also protect her from the ministers' harm."
What Yan Li said was very sincere, whether it was his eyes or his expression, Song Qiang believed that what he said was from the bottom of his heart, and it was indeed reasonable.
Song Qiang was silent, lowered his head, embarrassed to look up at Yan Li, "So, I think I'm wrong!"
Song Qiang's tone eased, which made Yan Li feel a little bit of comfort.
"Song Qiang, please believe me, I, Yan Li, will not do anything to offend my conscience. As soon as I heard that someone was going to assassinate Zi Yan tonight, I guessed it was you."
Song Qiang squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Li in horror: He kept his face, but he knew it in his heart!
"How did you guess I did it?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Yan Li's mouth: "Need to say that! Rong Chang'an has a high temper, and he would never do that kind of assassination. Except for Rong Chang'an, the person who hates Zi Yan the most should be you. Besides, the assassination Ziyan's person must be someone from the palace, or someone who can often enter and leave the palace, because the six gates of the palace are heavily guarded and no one can enter."
"Furthermore, I heard from the guard's description that the assassin is very skilled. Even with his back injured, he is still alive and well, and the more he fights, the more courageous he is. Based on these things, I guess that the person is you. And the one on your back The scars have verified that my thoughts are correct."
Song Qiang was still not convinced, and his eyes were still full of anger: "Since you know that I am the one who assassinated, call the Royal Guards to come in now and tie me up! If you want to kill or cut into pieces, it's up to you."
A trace of pain flashed across Yan Li's face: "Didn't I just say that I didn't come tonight to kill you, but to save you."
A trace of doubt flashed in Song Qiang's eyes: "How are you going to save me?"
Although Song Qiang's assassination of Zi Yan appeared to be unnoticed on the surface, but once Yousi tracked it down, he would definitely find Song Qiang.
