Rong Chang'an and Yan Li raised their cups and had a drink with the foreign envoy. The envoy took another look at Rong Changan, and praised him.
"Your Majesty, I unconsciously took another look at Xue Cairen. If the Emperor blames me, then I will blame him!"
This envoy was glib and very witty, making both Yan Li and Rong Chang'an laugh.
He took a closer look: "Your Majesty, when I saw Xue Cairen, I thought of someone."
Yan Li: "What did your envoy remember?"
The envoys came from foreign countries, unlike those who were born and raised in the Dajing Kingdom, they had many taboos; the custom of foreign countries is to say what they have, and never hide it.
"Xue Cairen has bright eyes and white teeth, and his skin is as creamy as fat. If it increases by one point, it will be too long, and if it is reduced by one point, it will be too short. With every frown and frown, there are thousands of styles. It is three points similar to the former Queen Rong."
As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers were stunned.
The topic of "Rong Chang'an" is a taboo, and a tacit understanding has been formed among the ministers. Now that the foreign envoy mentioned it, many ministers were sweating for him: Yan Li can definitely propose the beheading of the foreign envoy!
At the banquet, there was a sudden silence.
The foreign envoy suddenly felt that something was wrong, and only now did he realize that he had said something wrong, and quickly knelt on the ground and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I just drank some wine, my head became hot, and I spoke nonsense. I hope the Emperor will forgive me!"
Yan Li looked at Rong Changan: "What do you think?"
There are still people who remember Rong Changan, Rong Changan is naturally happy.
"He also said just now that it was a drunken speech. Why should the emperor care about it? Besides, if he is pursued, it will definitely affect the diplomatic relationship. So I think the emperor should pretend that it didn't happen."
Yan Li then said to the foreign envoy: "Today is a happy day, the guests and hosts enjoy themselves, what happened in the wine field, let it stay in the wine field. The envoys don't have to worry about it, they can continue to drink!"
The envoy felt relieved: "The emperor is magnanimous, and he is really a wise master!"
Yan Li pointed to Rong Changan: "I'm tired of hearing these words. You can thank Xue Cairen, she asked me not to pursue you."
The envoy took a few steps, approached Rong Chang'an, and kowtowed like garlic: "Xue Cai is not only beautiful, but also kind and gentle, he must be rich!"
The envoy was full of sweet words, which made Yan Li and Rong Changan very happy.
"Okay, okay, if I let you go on, the game will be over. Go back to your seat!"
"Yes!" The foreign envoy wiped his forehead and returned to his seat.
The banquet continued, and the songs and songs remained.
Chu Lin stroked his beard and thought: The emperor is so interested today, he is not angry when foreign envoys mention Rong Changan, maybe I will tell him about Jin Renxin and Yan Shijie, and he will agree.
Then he also poured a glass of wine, and came to Yan Li and Rong Changan with a smile on his face, bowed his body, tilted the wine glass forward, and showed his yellow teeth in a smile.
"Chu Lin also comes to offer a toast to the Emperor and Xue Cairen!"
Yan Li pointed at Chu Lin, and said to Xueer: "This is Lord Chu, the deputy commander of our guards, and the father of Empress Chu."
Rong Changan smiled slightly: "Lord Chu!"
After the three of them drank, Chu Lin's eyeballs rolled around, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Your Majesty, I want to tell you something."
Yan Li focused on those dancers who were dancing and singing, and said casually, "What is it?"
Xue'er pretended to focus on those dancers, but she pricked up her ears to listen, Chu Lin wanted to talk to Yan Li about something.
Chu Lin giggled twice, and took a step closer to Yan Li.
"Your Majesty, the people from Yushitai and I recently investigated the case of the emperor's uncle making dragon robes privately. The emperor himself admitted that he has a very close personal relationship with Rong Changan. Rong Changan was sent to Lingnan, and he was afraid that his title would not be preserved. , thinking of the rebellion, so he ordered a yellow robe. ——He has already marked the confession."
The corners of Yan Li's eyes were slightly scratched, and two thin lines also appeared between the two majestic sword eyebrows.
"Uncle Huang is really in custody?"
Chu Lin: "Exactly. We tortured Jin Renxin again. He confessed that he helped Rong Changan drug Concubine Zixuan. It was he who drugged Concubine Zixuan that caused Concubine Zixuan to lose her mind and go crazy. Like this If the treacherous and evil people are not severely punished, how can they persuade those who come after them?"
The smile on Yan Li's face disappeared, and his eyes were still on the dancer, but his thoughts had already shifted to Yan Shijie's case.
He grabbed the jug and was about to pour the wine, but when Chu Lin saw him, Chu Lin grabbed it and poured him a glass.
Yan Li slowly raised it up and pressed it to his lips, suddenly he was stuck with some question, and after a while, he just took a sip of his wine.
Even his uncle betrayed him, so what else could he say.
"You and Yu Shitai, how do you want to punish Uncle Huang and Jin Renxin?"
A smug smile flickered across the corner of Chu Lin's mouth: "Your Majesty, after discussing with the people from Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment, we have decided to send the emperor's uncle to Lingnan. As for Jin Renxin, he will be beheaded on Punt Street!"
A light flashed in Rong Changan's eyes.
Yan Li looked at Chu Lin seriously: "Now that the emperor's uncle is already in the prison, why should he be sent to Lingnan? He is so old, how can he withstand the hardships of the journey? Why don't you guys discuss it and let him be sent lightly?" Bar!"
Chu Lin said: "Your Majesty, this is not just about the emperor's uncle alone, it is about the country! Think about it, the emperor's uncle intends to rebel, but he is only detained in the sky prison. What will those rebellious officials and thieves think when they hear about it?" They will definitely think, anyway, rebellion and rebellion will not kill them, so why not rebel. If so, the country will never have peace! It’s not that I don’t feel sorry for the aging of the emperor’s uncle, it’s really the law of the country, what can I do!”
Yan Li got a lot closer between the two ways: "Is it necessary to be exiled?"
Chu Lin: "I have to go into exile!" After a pause, "If the emperor wants to seek an affair, that's another story."
Chu Lin clearly knew that Yan Li was a person who followed the rules, so he said that on purpose.
"I rule the world with the law, how can I bend the law for personal gain! It's just..."
Yan Shijie was living a good life in the south of the Yangtze River, but he brought him to the capital, thinking that he could enjoy a peaceful life and enjoy his old age, but unexpectedly, he killed him.
Chu Lin: "Your majesty, it's the uncle who failed you, not you who failed the emperor."
Yan Li sighed: "In our Yan family, there are only me and the emperor left. I don't want to be left alone today!" The sadness is beyond words, "I can't save the emperor, but can I intercede for Jin Renxin?"
Chu Lin: "I don't know what the emperor is asking for for Jin Renxin?"
Yan Li: "Jin Renxin had no intention of living in the palace. It was I and Empress Rong who brought him in. He has a lot of affection for Empress Rong. I think that he killed Concubine Zixuan for the sake of Empress Rong. So I want to do it for him. How about I beg you to spare his life?"
"This..." Chu Lin hesitated.
Rong Changan coughed twice.
Yan Li heard that Rong Changan had something to say: "Xue'er, do you have something to tell me?"
Chu Lin's heart skipped a beat: This Xue Cairen, no matter how much he is favored, is also a member of the harem, how can he talk about government affairs? And listen to what she said
The corner of Chu Lin's mouth twitched, and Rong Chang'an knew that he had some bad intentions.
"Xue'er does have something to say, but after all, Xue'er is a woman in the harem. There have been regulations in the past that the harem is not allowed to discuss government affairs. Unless the emperor pardons my crime, the slaves will not speak anyway."
