Lin Yiqiu was about to walk towards Emperor Qian's palace, but the maid told him that His Majesty was still in court and had not returned yet.
"It's much later than before? Will the morning be that long today?"
"I don't know the specific slave. Lord Lin, can you just wait outside the door for a while?"
The maid answered truthfully.
Lin Yiqiu had no choice but to stand there and wait.
At this time, in the court hall, Emperor Qian had a sad look on his face.
"Everyone, there is a sudden riot in Shiye City. Do you have any method to rescue the siege?"
After saying that, there was silence downstairs.
Shiye City is an important city in the northwest of Daqian, very close to the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Now that there are riots in Shiye City, who knows whether Northern Qi is causing trouble behind them?
Of course, no one is willing to step forward to share the worries about such a mess.
Seeing this situation, Emperor Qian could only look disappointed.
It is said that raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while, these ministers all remained silent when faced with such a critical situation.
How sad!
At this time, Prime Minister Li Yan suddenly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have an idea."
"Huh? Let's talk about it."
Emperor Qian became interested.
Li Yan continued: "Shiye City is close to the Northern Qi Dynasty. Although it is located at an important location on the Western Regions Commercial Road, it has always been at risk of riots."
"And now that this situation is really happening, it will definitely require strong military force to suppress it!"
"Tell the important point!"
Emperor Qian ordered in a deep voice.
Li Yan stopped talking and directly put forward his suggestions.
"I believe that the eldest princess should be sent to lead troops to Shiye City immediately to help suppress the riots in Shiye City!"
"The eldest princess is a fierce general of our country! With her taking action, mere chaos will be nothing!"
There was a bit of darkness in his eyes, but Li Yan hid it very well.
As soon as he said this, the courtiers below also responded one after another!
"What the prime minister said makes sense! The princess should really be asked to help with this matter!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! The eldest princess has been fighting for so many years! Cleaning up the chaos is a piece of cake!"
However, Emperor Qian's brows did become more and more frowned.
To be honest, this was the last suggestion she wanted to hear.
"That's all, let me think about it again and withdraw from the court!"
Seeing the emperor's hesitation, Li Yan continued to step forward and said: "Your Majesty, the situation is critical and cannot be delayed!"
"Master Li, I will consider this matter as soon as possible. I am a little tired. You can go down first."
Emperor Qian still refused to take action and waved his hand.
After a while, the guard next to him shouted.
"Retreat!"
The ministers left one after another.
Qiandi sat on the chair and felt a headache at the moment.
"Forget it, let's go back to the palace first, and then we can discuss this matter with Lin Yiqiu."
Compared with the ministers, Emperor Qian now feels that it is better to ask Lin Yiqiu.
Accompanied by the guards, he walked towards the palace. Not long after, Emperor Qian saw Lin Yiqiu standing outside.
The latter also saw him and hurriedly came up to salute.
"Your Majesty, I heard about the riots in Shiye City and came here to share your worries!"
Emperor Qian felt comfortable hearing these words. All the ministers in the court were not as good as this eunuch.
"Come in with me, I'm in a dilemma right now."
After waving his hand, Emperor Qian asked Lin Yiqiu to follow him into the house.
Sitting on the chair, Emperor Qian couldn't help but sigh.
"There was a sudden riot in Shiye City, which I didn't expect. How should I respond at this time?"
"Your Majesty, is this not difficult for you? Just deploy troops to suppress it."
Lin Yiqiu replied simply.
This kind of thing should be easy for Emperor Qian to do.
But Emperor Qian's embarrassed expression at this time must not be because of this, but because of other things.
Looking at Lin Yiqiu's expression, Emperor Qian was stunned for a moment and then smiled bitterly.
"After all, you are so smart that you can tell that I still have something to hide."
"Yes, if it's just a riot, I won't be afraid of anything. The key is..."
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Qian took out a letter from under the table.
"Let's see."
She threw it directly to Lin Yiqiu.
Lin Yiqiu caught it and quickly opened it. After scanning it a few times, he couldn't help but frown.
"Is this...an autographed letter from the eldest princess?"
"Yes, it's the letter she requested. She said she was willing to personally lead troops to Shiye Town to suppress the rebellion and share my worries!"
"But you should know that I am worried."
Ever since Lin Yiqiu brought back the shocking news yesterday, although Emperor Qian couldn't believe it, he was still on high alert for Xia Qingwu.
But now, Xia Qingwu's letter of request is the most difficult thing for Emperor Qian!
When Lin Yiqiu saw this, how could he not understand?
Emperor Qian was worried that Xia Qingwu would use the excuse of judgment to occupy the magpie's nest and raise the banner of rebellion.
What's more, why did the Shiye City suddenly riot, and who was behind it? It's hard not to make people suspicious.
"Your Majesty, may I ask the other ministers if they have any advice?"
Lin Yiqiu asked.
Emperor Qian answered truthfully.
"Led by Prime Minister Li Yan, everyone hopes that I can send Xia Qingwu to suppress the unrest."
"All the ministers in the dynasty are like this."
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this method is definitely not possible!"
Lin Yiqiu immediately retorted: "Shiye City was in turmoil. Thousands of rioters captured the prefect's mansion so quickly and took Shiye City as their own!"
"Such rapid action and careful planning cannot be organized by just a group of rioters!"
"There must be someone behind this, someone must be looking after them!"
With a very definite tone, Lin Yiqiu gave his own inference.
After Qiandi was stunned for a moment, he whispered: "You mean, maybe Xia Qingwu is responsible for this?"
"I dare not say for sure! But..."
Lin Yiqiu raised his head, his eyes sharp.
"But I don't rule out this possibility! Although Shiye City is connected to the Northern Qi Dynasty and seems far away, it is only five or six hundred miles away from the capital!"
"If Shiye City is really occupied by people with ulterior motives, then the target must be this capital! And its plot is obvious!"
These words touched the heart of Emperor Qian!
"You mean to refuse Xia Qingwu's request?"
“Refuse but don’t refuse either!”
Lin Yiqiu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's a good time to test her."
"What to do? Speak quickly!"
Emperor Qian couldn't wait any longer.
Lin Yiqiu said slowly.
"Your Majesty, please tell the eldest princess that before her letter comes, the imperial court has sent people to prepare to suppress it, so there is no need to trouble her anymore."
"However, the situation is changing rapidly, so please be prepared to provide support at any time! If there is an accident, please be nearby to provide support immediately!"
Speaking of this, Lin Yiqiu's expression showed a bit of slyness.
"If this matter has nothing to do with her, the princess will definitely obey her orders."
"But if it has anything to do with her..."
"She will find various reasons to take action and ignore my will, right?"
Emperor Qian had already reacted.
Lin Yiqiu smiled and said: "That's right, Your Majesty!" This chapter has been completed!
