Chapter 265 Attack of Public Opinion

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Lin Yiqiu frowned slightly, thinking that Emperor Qian would not give him another arduous task, right?

Good guy, I am becoming more and more like a tool man now!

Emperor Qian simply treats him like an animal! Why do you think of him in every job?

If this continues, Lin Yiqiu feels that unless Emperor Qian repays him with his body, he will really have no motivation.

He still has to go back to his wife!

Emperor Qian smiled and said: "It's not a difficult thing. In two days, I will lead all officials to visit the Confucian Temple."

"When the time comes, you will be responsible for my protection and safety. Will you go with me?"

"Ah? I'm going to visit the Confucian Temple?"

Lin Yiqiu said a little surprised.

He is a eunuch. In the history of Qian Kingdom, no! In the entire history! There is almost no precedent for eunuchs to enter the Confucian Temple!

What Emperor Qian did was simply unprecedented, and probably unprecedented!

"Your Majesty, this... I'm afraid this is not appropriate?"

Lin Yiqiu hesitated.

It's not that he's afraid of trouble. In fact, this is one of the rare things that doesn't cause trouble nowadays.

But what he is afraid of is that the various public opinions in the future will drown Qiandi and himself!

This time, just asking the Ministry of Personnel to arrange him to be the head of the Ministry of Etiquette caused so much public uproar and a huge uproar!

If the world's talented literati knew that this eunuch had gone to the Confucian Temple, they might not be able to immediately unite and kneel outside the palace to protest!

Lin Yiqiu really didn't want to listen to the criticism from those intellectuals, and he didn't want Emperor Qian to be attacked by public opinion because of this matter!

However, Emperor Qian didn't mind this at all.

"You are my confidant and the person I trust most. Why not if I take you to the Confucian Temple?"

"Your Majesty, you can bring the Imperial Guard there, and they will be able to protect your safety. This is their duty."

Lin Yiqiu suggested.

After hearing this, Emperor Qian immediately shook his head.

'No, no, they are all a bunch of rough guys, they are all warriors, none of them have any talent!'

"It would be even more inappropriate for me to bring this group of warriors into the Confucian Temple!"

"You are different. Your talents and learning are much higher than those of the court officials. It is most suitable for you to go! Besides, your martial arts are enough to protect my safety. I am very relieved."

Several reasons completely blocked Lin Yiqiu's escape path.

Hearing this, Lin Yiqiu had no choice but to refuse.

After a while, he could only sigh.

"Well, it seems that I have no choice but to bite the bullet and go with your Majesty."

"It's just that I hope Your Majesty can silence everyone's mouths about this matter."

"Don't worry about this. Whatever I decide, whether the Naxi court officials listen to it or not, they have to agree to it!"

With a domineering word, Emperor Qian waved away Lin Yiqiu, and then, accompanied by his maid, he walked towards the front hall!

At this moment, it is time to go to court.

A group of ministers walked in from outside the palace door in twos and threes!

"I see you, Your Majesty!~Long live my emperor!"

Everyone knelt on the ground to pray for peace.

Emperor Qian waved his hand.

"My dear friends, no courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers stood up.

There was the same report and participation as usual, but there was nothing new. Emperor Qian felt tired of hearing it.

Half an hour later, she was getting ready to leave the court. However, at this time, He Weixin, the Minister of Rites, suddenly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty! I still have something to attend to!"

The words were very heavy, and Emperor Qian frowned slightly, as if he had anticipated what was going on.

As expected, He Weixin said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Kang Qingshou, the Minister of Rites, committed suicide at home for no apparent reason. This is extremely strange. Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

His words were stern and he seemed to be deeply saddened by this matter.

When Emperor Qian heard this, he sighed and said, "I already knew about this matter yesterday, and I have already arranged for people to investigate."

"At present, it seems that Kang Qingshou really committed suicide, and nothing strange can be found yet."

"Your Majesty! I think there is a person who is very suspicious!"

He Weixin ignored it and continued.

Before Emperor Qian could ask, he had already spoken out again.

"I believe that this matter must be done by Lin Yiqiu of Xichang!"

"Ah? Master He? How do you say this?"

Emperor Qian was slightly startled.

Someone really suspected Lin Yiqiu's identity as the murderer. Good guy, you are really brave.

He Weixin was not afraid and continued to step forward: "Your Majesty, all this is because of Lin Yiqiu's dissatisfaction!"

"He was lucky enough to perform meritorious service before and asked the Ministry of Personnel to arrange for him to join the Ministry of Etiquette as a chief. However, Master Kang did not agree. He felt that it was unbecoming for a eunuch to serve as an official, so he refused to do so!"

"Lin Yiqiu felt hatred in his heart because of this! So he secretly harmed Mr. Kang! The context of this matter is clear! He must have done it! I sincerely request your Majesty to punish Lin Yiqiu severely!"

After saying this, He Weixin fell to his knees directly. It seemed that his attitude was very determined!

Then not only him, but also several other officials from the Ministry of Etiquette fell to their knees.

Look at this, if Emperor Qian doesn't give an explanation, they won't get up!

Emperor Qian looked slightly cold.

"My dear friends, Lin Yiqiu's attempt to harm Kang Qingshou is completely groundless and without evidence!"

"Do you have any physical evidence or witness? Can you prove that this matter is related to Lin Yiqiu?"

After the words fell, there was dead silence.

Of course they have no evidence! Because everything is just guesswork!

However, even if there is no evidence, they still refuse to get up!

Emperor Qian was so smart that he immediately understood the true intentions of these ministers.

They don't care at all whether there is a murderer or who the murderer is.

They just need a statement of their own to severely punish Lin Yiqiu!

Because only in this way can they feel comfortable in their hearts, and can students all over the world feel comfortable!

You see, Your Majesty is angry with Lin Yiqiu because of the death of the Minister of Rites. As expected, he cannot be an official eunuch!

Our Majesty is still wise! He still stands with us civil servants!

This is the real purpose of these ministers! To force Emperor Qian to make a statement!

But Emperor Qian just spoke coldly.

"What's wrong? You don't have any evidence, so you want me to punish others casually? I'm afraid this is inappropriate both emotionally and rationally, right?"

"Master Prime Minister, you are the head of a hundred officials. It's your turn to take charge of these people from the Ministry of Rites!"

There was a hint of blame in his tone.

However, after Prime Minister Li Yan heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly curved.

Then, he actually knelt on the ground!

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed very strange, and the officials' request is not wrong!"

"Even if Lin Yiqiu is not the direct murderer of Kang Qingshou, he must be related to Kang Qingshou's death!"

"Your Majesty, please issue an edict to severely punish Lin Yiqiu. This will reassure all officials and students all over the world!"

At this time, Li Yan completely stood with the officials who knelt down!

Anyway, this is a good opportunity to disgust Lin Yiqiu, why not?

Moreover, there is nothing wrong with what he said!
