The next day, a rumor spread among the people one after another.
It is said that Rong Changan, the general who protects the country, is the reincarnation of the guardian of the Dajing Kingdom, in order to help His Majesty govern the country. It is the credit of Rong Chang'an to stabilize the country and shake the princes in all directions!
At the beginning, the rumors only appeared in some inconspicuous places, such as teahouses, wineries, etc., and then slowly spread, and there were also some rumors in the court within a day.
Coincidentally, these rumors reached Li Hai's ears.
That night, Li Hai sat on the dragon chair in the imperial study room, his veins bulging, as if he couldn't control his emotions.
He murmured, "Well, Rong Chang'an, I thought you were a loyal minister when I came back from the war, and I wanted to reward you. I didn't expect you to be here waiting for me! You are more powerful than me in publicizing such a high prestige among the people. Is it to force the palace to rebel?"
Censor Yan Li stood in the center, bowed his head and remained silent.
"Yan Aiqing, have you ever heard that according to folklore, the Queen of Zhen is the reincarnation of the guardian of the Great Jing Kingdom? It is also said that the stability of the country and the surrender of the four parties are all due to her credit!" Li Hai asked suspiciously, with strange eyes.
Yan Li speculated, and replied in a steady voice, "I have heard it. It is indeed said so."
Li Hai was furious, as if he really couldn't control his emotions anymore, when he raised his eyes and saw Yan Li's calm expression, he felt very strange in his heart, and asked, "Yan Aiqing, what do you think
Yan Li looked like he didn't want to answer, but the emperor had to answer when he asked, "My minister," he pondered for a while, and still said, "I don't believe it."
Li Hai was very surprised by Yan Li's answer, and asked, "Don't believe me? Why?"
"I believe that the country is stable now because of the hard work of His Majesty, hard work of all officials, and the joint efforts of all the officials to create a prosperous world."
He seemed to hesitate for a while, "There are many affairs in governing the country, from politics to economy, from internal affairs to foreign affairs, from all walks of life and from all walks of life, how can a little girl be able to do this?"
The subject changed, and her expression was serious, "But the empress has indeed made great contributions to protecting the country. She has made great contributions to the country many times, and you have also been named the general who protects the country. She has indeed made great contributions to the country."
Li Hai's expression softened slightly, and he continued to ask, "Then you are saying that Rong Chang'an is credited, but the most powerful thing is the unity of the monarch and his ministers?" Li Hai already recognized this truth in his heart.
"It's just that the fact that Rong Changan is the guardian of the Great Jing Kingdom must have been spread by someone with a heart. I don't know if it is Rong Changan himself or someone else?"
"Your Majesty, I have an idea."
"Oh? What's Yan Aiqing's opinion?"
"My minister thinks that those who spread rumors must have a personal enmity with the empress."
Li Hai was shocked, what does this mean? Isn't he talking about state affairs? How could he have a personal enmity with the queen
"This minister is just guessing and has no basis. It's just that the Empress has just returned from a victorious battle, and such rumors appeared within three days. It is obviously premeditated for a long time. It should not be the Empress herself, she simply doesn't have that time."
"Then the person behind the scenes has been in the capital all the time? Praise and kill? This is really a good way to kill with a knife!" Rong Chang'an is her queen, holding a heavy army. Who would go to great lengths to frame her? Could it be that one
Li Hai's mind has turned to the issue of the quarrel between the emperor and the empress, who will benefit the most!
"Weichen is just guessing, and there is no evidence." Yan Li coldly reminded the person on the dragon chair.
"Apart from that one, who else? Many of the old officials in the court belonged to the late emperor, and they belonged to her. Only the empress and you are my direct descendants. First deal with Rong Changan, who holds a heavy army, and then target you , does she still want to change me? How unreasonable!"
Li Hai's expression was even darker than when he first heard the news, and his voice was full of hostility. At this time, he could no longer maintain the scene of mother's kindness and filial piety, and expressed all his fear and dissatisfaction with the queen mother in his heart.
"Here, Your Majesty, you must be careful to prevent villains from causing trouble!" Yan Li saw that the Emperor aimed at the Empress Dowager, thought that the goal had been achieved, and kindly reminded the Emperor to be careful.
"She's targeting Rong Chang'an now, maybe there's a conspiracy against you too, so be on your guard. Don't fall into other people's traps. You step back first, I have my own way!" After a while, Li Hai calmed down and let the Yan Li resigned.
Yan Li took the order to resign, but in his heart he admired Rong Changan's unparalleled wit! This way of breaking the situation is really ingenious! It was Li Hai's suspicion that was used!
And in the queen mother's palace, Zi Yan was having a meal with the queen mother.
Four to four hundred and sixteen dishes, with meat and vegetables, vegetables and soup, red and green, looks very eye-catching, and the taste is really good!
Ziyan kept bringing food to the queen mother, "Auntie, here's your favorite Sixi meatball! Just one of these, you can't eat more!"
"This diced eggplant is not bad, you should try it! The eggplant meat is fresh and tender, cooked just right, and the heat is well controlled!"
"This celery, you should eat more!" As he said, he put a chopstick of celery into the bowl for the Queen Mother.
"Cauliflower, it tastes delicious, a magic weapon for health preservation."
The queen mother's face was full of smiles, "You can eat too, little girl eat more!"
"Auntie, I'm eating! The dishes in the Imperial Dining Room are really good today!"
"If you like to eat, let them do it, and let you praise it so much!"
"Hurry up and eat today, it will be inconvenient when the master abbot of Huangjue Temple will come over tomorrow. You have to eat vegetarian food with me for a few days, it's hard for you!" The queen mother put down her chopsticks and looked at Ziyan tenderly.
"It's okay, aunt. It's just a matter of time to learn some ways of practicing Zen from the master."
"I asked him to come, not to teach Zen, but to show Rong Changan's face." The queen mother's strategy has never shy away from Ziyan.
"Look at the face? What's wrong with the Empress?" Zi Yan was at a loss!
"She's still called Empress, and she didn't have sex with the emperor! She's just a woman with a false name! When the eminent monk arrives tomorrow, I will invite all the women from all the palaces to come. The eminent monk will order Rong Changan to die early."
"Ah, that's it!" Zi Yan was extremely proud.
"Then invite the emperor to come over and give you the invaluable fate of the phoenix. The theory of fortune is mysterious and mysterious, and the emperor has to believe it. Even if he doesn't abolish the empress immediately, it may not be far away. Even if he doesn't make you empress immediately, After giving birth to a child, the mother is more expensive than the child, and you will be the queen."
Zi Yan's heart turned around several times, and she also thought it was good, "Thank you aunt, aunt is troubled! You are planning for Yan'er in this way, Yan'er really feels ashamed!"
"We are a family. Only when you are well, can I see your parents in peace."
The empress dowager's eyes are full of kindness, only in front of Zi Yan, will she look like a normal old man, right
