Chapter 343: Ministers and other officials can’t afford to kneel!
"Queen Mother?"
After listening, a group of people quickly turned around.
Not long after, I saw that the Queen Mother had already got off the sedan with the support of the old nanny and came to the front of everyone.
The Queen Mother had anticipated the situation before her, and she had already heard the noisy voices of these ministers from a distance.
It seems that what Xia Yimeng said is indeed correct. The ministers are all excited about this matter!
"I will see the Queen Mother!"
Li Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and quickly took the lead in saluting.
I asked the second princess to go to Cining Palace to find the Queen Mother for help, and she lived up to her expectations.
Now as long as the Queen Mother is here, he doesn't believe that the Emperor will never see them!
The Queen Mother waved her hand and said in a deep voice: "I heard that something big happened in the Ai family? It seems that all of you dear ladies are here because of this matter?"
Looking at the crowd, the Queen Mother saw only the flames of anger burning in their eyes!
Li Yan took the lead in answering.
"That's why the Queen Mother and the ministers gathered here just for one thing, that is, to let the Emperor give an explanation to the Ministry of Rites!"
"Lin Yiqiu was so bold that he dared to slaughter a minister of the Ministry of Rites and seven ministers! Such a heartless and crazy person! He cannot be spared for a moment! I sincerely request the emperor to execute Lin Yiqiu immediately!"
"Yes! Execute Lin Yiqiu immediately! Don't keep him longer!"
All the ministers also shouted instantly!
The Queen Mother looked solemn, turned her head and asked the maid.
"Where is the Emperor? Is he inside?"
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Emperor has a headache and is resting in the palace."
Ting'er replied immediately.
But the Queen Mother's face was obviously unhappy.
"If something like this happens, of course you have to give an explanation. How can you use a headache as an excuse to avoid it?"
"Go in and tell him that Ai Jia is here and ask her to get up immediately!"
"But...this..."
Ting'er said with a confused look on her face.
The Queen Mother's voice suddenly became stern!
"The Aijia asked you to call him! Didn't you hear?"
Or after all, she is the Queen Mother. When she shows her majesty, it is really scary!
Naturally, Ting'er didn't dare to say anything more, so she could only enter the palace obediently and inform Emperor Qian.
The smile on Li Yan's lips became even wider at this moment.
"It's better to ask the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, you can hide from us, but you can't hide from the Queen Mother, right?"
I thought so in my heart.
Not long after, I saw Ting'er coming out.
"The Queen Mother, gentlemen, the Emperor has invited you."
After she finished speaking, she gave up her position.
Naturally, the Queen Mother walked into the palace first with the support of the old nanny.
The remaining ministers, under the leadership of Li Yan, followed closely.
At this time, a full twenty or thirty people crowded into the dormitory, and the footsteps seemed much denser.
Ting'er looked at them and could only keep shaking her head and sighing.
Emperor Qian indeed seemed to have just fallen asleep, and his face seemed a little drowsy at this time, as if he had not recovered.
After seeing the Queen Mother, his body was shocked and he quickly woke up.
"Mother, you are here."
"Ting'er, please prepare a seat for your mother to sit down!"
"yes!"
Ting'er said that she had already moved the chairs.
The Queen Mother was not polite, glanced at Emperor Qian, and said coldly.
"Your Majesty, there are so many ministers waiting outside the palace. It's not appropriate for you to just leave them alone like this, isn't it?"
When I open my mouth, I feel a little guilty.
It's not that the Queen Mother is standing with the ministers, it's just that she can't stand Emperor Qian's handling of it.
After all, these ministers are all important officials in the court. If Emperor Qian treats them like this, it will be a big deal if the ministers feel cold!
After hearing this, Emperor Qian was slightly stunned at first, and then quickly explained: "Mother, I didn't miss them on purpose, nor did I deliberately leave them alone."
"I really have a terrible headache, so I took a rest early. If I finish taking a rest, I will naturally summon them."
Of course this is just rhetoric, not true meaning.
Li Yan was not stupid, of course he could understand this, so he took a step forward.
"Your Majesty, no matter what time you wake up today, even if it is midnight, I will not leave!"
"If your Majesty cannot deal with Lin Yiqiu's matter quickly, I will not be willing to accept it!"
"I am unwilling to wait!"
A group of ministers immediately knelt down on the ground! And after Li Yan finished speaking, he also knelt down!
There was a cold look in the corner of Qiandi's eyes, and there was even some mockery in the corner of her mouth, but she hid it very well.
"My dear friends, I understand what you mean!"
"It's not that I won't deal with it, I just need to take a rest. It won't be too late to deal with it tomorrow. Don't you even give me this little time?"
"Your Majesty, how can we delay this at this time?"
Li Yan raised his hands and spoke, his words suddenly becoming fierce.
At this time, the Queen Mother was present, and he wanted to bring the Queen Mother into their camp to put pressure on Emperor Qian together!
Thinking of this, Li Yan continued fiercely: "I witnessed what happened early this morning with my own eyes. I witnessed Lin Yiqiu instantly killing all the officials of the Ministry of Rites!"
"At that time, I only felt a chill on my back! My throat was dry! I wasn't afraid! I was worried about the Emperor!"
"Such a murderous person has stayed with the emperor for such a long time! It's simply terrifying!"
From what he said, it seemed that Li Yan had been thinking about Emperor Qian.
Emperor Qian just wanted to laugh when he heard this, thinking that if you are timid, you will be timid, and you will be scared when you are scared, and you can find so many excuses.
But she still pretended to be serious and responded: "I know that Mr. Li was at the scene at that time, and he was also by my side."
"I was also afraid at the time. I was afraid that Lin Yiqiu accidentally killed Mr. Li. If something unexpected happened to Mr. Li, it would be a huge loss to our country!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Li Yan quickly bent down to salute, and then he continued to respond.
"If that's the case, then why is Your Majesty still hesitating?"
"Lin Yiqiu killed the Minister of Rites, a total of eight important officials of the imperial court! This is a crime that cannot be denied!"
"Just look at the history of our country! Is there anyone as bold as Lin Yiqiu? So wanton? So cruel and unscrupulous?"
The more he talked, the more excited he became. Li Yan’s scolding skills were really great!
"This man is immortal! Heaven cannot tolerate it! Your Majesty hesitates to reconcile? Now the most urgent choice is to execute Lin Yiqiu immediately!"
"Your Majesty, this is just a matter of one sentence. Do we still need to delay it?"
Suddenly, a group of ministers began to echo: "Yes, Your Majesty, does this matter still need to be delayed?"
Emperor Qian smiled softly and sighed.
"Everyone, I'm just tired and I need some time."
"Do you have to force me like this? Besides, I didn't say I would spare Lin Yiqiu, so why are you so impatient?"
"Lin Yiqiu is in a prison right now, with a lot of forbidden troops guarding him. Are you still afraid that he will escape?"
But Li Yan was still not satisfied with his answer.
"Your Majesty, if Lin Yiqiu does not die, it will be difficult for me and others to live in peace!"
"I still say the same thing! This matter must not be delayed! If your Majesty insists on waiting any longer, then I will have no choice but to kneel here for a long time!"
