As he said, he wanted to help Rong Changan, but Rong Changan opened Yan Li's hand and said loudly:
"Why don't I get excited! Song Qiang and I have been in the army and shared hardships for several years. I have always regarded him as my younger brother, and now he...he has fallen into Pan Meichen's tricks, how can I not be sad!"
Rong Changan ran out of the back garden like flying: "Song Qiang! Song Qiang!"
Yan Li and Chun Tao shouted together from behind: "Queen!"
The two also followed and ran outside Fengming Palace.
When Rong Changan saw the lacquered wooden box in Lin Hai's hand, his body softened, his vermilion lips trembled, and tears glistened in his big eye sockets.
"Song Qiang...how could this happen!"
If Rong Chang'an had agreed to Song Qiang's lead in the expedition, perhaps Song Qiang would not have been murdered. Song Qiang's death has a lot to do with her, as if she killed Song Qiang with her own hands.
Plop! Rong Changan knelt on the ground.
"Give me Song Qiang!"
Lin Hai put the box into Rong Changan's hands. Hot and transparent teardrops Patapata dripped on the box.
"Song Qiang, I killed you! I killed you!"
Lin Hai glared and gnashed his teeth: "Queen, it's none of your business! I only hate that Pan Meichen is too cunning. We must avenge Song Qiang and sacrifice Pan Meichen's head to Song Qiang!"
Rong Changan's tears were finally released, like a river breaking its embankment.
The ministers at the side also pretended to wipe away their tears, expressing sympathy and sadness.
But Ziyan looked at Rong Changan who was crying loudly, without any sadness on his face.
The corner of her mouth curled up into a faint smile: Song Qiang is dead, and both the northern and southern armies have been wiped out. I see what capital you, Rong Changan and Yan Li, have to contend with Pan Meichen! If Yan Li is willing to lick my tip, maybe I will consider pleading with Pan Meichen to let him let Yan Li go and spare his life!
Yan Li was infected by Rong Chang'an and had tears in his eyes. Chuntao wiped her eyes beside her, crying.
The eunuch comforted Yan Li: "Your Majesty, don't be too sad and hurt the dragon's body. You jumped into the river just now, and the wound may be infected. Why don't you call the imperial doctor over now to show you how the wound is?"
Yan Li didn't answer the eunuch's words, but focused on Rong Changan.
"Pan Meichen has committed a heinous crime. If we don't capture you and behead you this time, we won't be able to explain to the people of the capital!"
Zi Yan lowered her head and covered her mouth with a smile: "If you want to catch Pan Meichen, you have to weigh how much weight you have now! The 150,000 army was beaten to pieces by Pan Meichen's 50,000 horses, and the shit is gone! Now Relying on this little Imperial Forest Army, if they want to catch Pan Meichen, they really are beyond their limits!"
Rong Changan handed the lacquered wooden box back to Lin Hai, lifted the sleeves of his coarse cloth clothes, wiped his face and the corners of his eyes, and suddenly a bright and scorching light flashed in his melancholy eyes, which represented determination and perseverance.
"If I don't catch Pan Meichen this time, I won't step into the capital again!"
These words seemed to be an answer to Zi Yan, Zi Yan's heart skipped a beat: Could it be that Rong Changan saw me secretly laughing? Then she raised her eyes slightly and found that Rong Changan's eyes were farsighted, and the focus was not on her at all, so she felt relieved.
Yan Li said: "What does the empress mean, that she agrees to lead the army?"
Rong Changan glanced coldly at the ministers kneeling on the ground, their faces made her feel disgusted and disgusting. If it wasn't for Song Qiang, for Dajing Country, and for Yan Li, she would not shed a single tear even if she watched them being cut to death by Pan Meichen one by one.
Suddenly, there was a hint of playfulness in her resolute and determined eyes: "I can agree to lead the army to fight, but I have a few requests..."
Yan Li hurriedly asked: "Queen, please tell me."
The corner of Rong Chang'an's mouth curled into a beautiful arc: "The emperor must have heard the story of Li Taibai and Gao Lishi. Gao Lishi persecuted Li Taibai at the beginning, and later Li Taibai gained power. Writing poems with Concubine Yang, Gao Lishi actually knelt on the ground to put on boots for Li Taibai..."
Yan Li immediately understood what Rong Changan meant, and looked at the minister sternly: "You don't know what Queen Rong is talking about?"
These people are all elites in the officialdom, how could they not know such a simple truth! Rong Changan just wanted to let out a sigh of relief.
As a result, some ministers prostrated themselves on the ground and put their bodies parallel to the ground.
"Queen, we have done some things that made you unhappy, please forgive us, forget about personal honor and disgrace, and serve the country!"
Rong Changan was not only not relieved, but also very angry. By saying this, aren't they scolding Rong Chang'an for personal grievances and ignoring the interests of the country and the people
Rong Changan let out a cold snort, and the whitish spray from her small cherry mouth dissipated in the cold air.
"I don't like to hear that! Change it to something else! I won't lead the army until I am happy to hear it."
The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to say to calm Rong Changan.
Yan Li also snorted coldly, and his tone was very stern: "When you were in Shangshufang, you promised me that as long as the queen agrees to go to the war, you can call her aunt, why haven't I heard anyone calling her aunt now? "
As a minister of the imperial court, and most of the people in front of him are senior officials of the fourth grade or above, it would be embarrassing to call a woman Auntie, and if the word spread, wouldn't the common people laugh it off
The ministers all lowered their heads, waiting for the first call.
But after a long time, no one called the first call.
Yan Lilong's eyes flashed: "Your words don't count, but I can't count! When I entered Fengming Palace just now, I made it very clear. If you can't agree to Queen Rong's conditions, I will behead one by one!"
As soon as Yan Li finished speaking, a minister climbed up to Rong Changan, touched her embroidered shoes, and shouted enthusiastically, "Grandma! You have a lot of adults, don't care about my past mistakes, and lead the army for us!" She called so kindly, as if Rong Changan was really his aunt.
No one wanted to fall behind and be beheaded by Yan Li, so the ministers rushed to wipe Rong Changan's shoes.
"Grandma, you can lead the troops out!"
"Grandma, please forgive us!"
"Grandma..."
Rong Chang'an didn't feel the sense of release in his heart that the hatred was resolved, but felt disgusted instead. It is a shame and a pity that Dajing has such a minister.
Rong Changan's eyes fell on Ziyan. It turned out that she also came, just in time! Rong Changan raised his chin, as cold as a towering statue.
"You plead guilty to me, and I forgive you. But this is not enough, there are still some people who refuse to come to me."
Yan Li asked, "Who is it?"
