Chapter 357 Admit Counseling at a Critical Moment!
"No... no need to ask more?"
Li Yan was stunned on the spot for a moment.
Because the subconscious meaning of this sentence is that Emperor Qian is not interested in whether Lin Yiqiu is a real eunuch at all!
In other words, Emperor Qian doesn't care about this at all!
Although it is still impossible to determine whether Lin Yiqiu's eunuch identity is true or false based on this, it is obviously useless for Li Yan to continue to use this point against Lin Yiqiu at this time.
If we continue to criticize this point, it will be questioning Emperor Qian and provoking her as the emperor.
At least all the current ministers, including him, Li Yan, would not dare to do this!
"Master Prime Minister, we should be able to talk about business now, right?"
Emperor Qian said coldly and directly changed the topic forcibly.
Li Yan could only nod after hearing this.
"Yes, I obey!"
In this case, it seems that we still have to use the matter of the Ministry of Rites to besiege Lin Yiqiu.
Thinking of this, Li Yan's eyes were as bright as a torch, and a harsh meaning quickly emerged.
"Your Majesty, the evidence of Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong's crimes is conclusive. If they continue to stay, they will definitely become a disaster! Your Majesty, please don't hesitate! They will be executed immediately!"
"If this evil is not eliminated, the people of the world will be in trouble!"
Li Yan cupped his hands and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, other officials around him also echoed and asked for orders again.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Qian also looked at Lin Yiqiu coldly.
"Lin Yiqiu, you killed the imperial officials and all eight officials of the Ministry of Rites died tragically at your hands. Do you know your guilt?"
After hearing this, Lin Yiqiu also responded with his hands raised.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what my guilt is!"
"The deaths of those people in the Ministry of Rites are all their own fault! I just regret that they were killed not early enough!"
Those words were simply more intense than the prime minister and other officials of the current dynasty! And they didn’t give in at all!
Li Yan was also completely angry at this time!
"What nonsense! Your Majesty! Look at this eunuch!"
"He did such a crazy thing but still refused to plead guilty! Such a eunuch should not even be able to keep his body alive! He should kill the nine tribes!"
"Master Li! I'm just doing what's right for heaven. He Weixin has repeatedly made things difficult for me and even wanted to kill me. I'm just doing this in self-defense!"
Lin Yiqiu rolled her eyes at him and her tone was joking.
"If He Weixin had never provoked me, why should I kill him? I said he deserved it!"
"Oh? Lin Yiqiu, could you please tell me why they deserve what they deserve?"
Emperor Qian leaned forward, showing an extremely interested expression.
Li Yan was about to say something, but Lin Yiqiu didn't give him a chance to speak and just gave him an explanation.
"He Weixin had repeatedly tried to frame me because of the incident at the Confucian Temple. Later, because I discovered fraud in the examination room, causing their Ministry of Rites to be humiliated, He Weixin held a grudge even more!"
"Because of this, he regards me as a thorn in his side and wants to get rid of me all the time! Do you want me to just sit back and wait for death? I killed him just to protect myself!"
After saying that, Lin Yiqiu continued to look at Li Yan coldly and said: "Master Li, do I have to be framed by him all the time? Can't I fight back?"
Li Yan didn't listen to this at all and just snorted in retort.
"Even so, you shouldn't kill him! Besides! What evidence do you have to prove that Mr. He wants to frame you?"
"Evidence? Then my rival Wei Wanqiu was caught by Qian Yongxu and He Weixin and sent to prison. Does this count as evidence?"
Lin Yiqiu's heart surged with anger, and his tone was extremely violent!
"Wei Wanqiu is a gift from His Majesty! However, He Weixin used her as a threat and tried to harm me!"
"Wei Wanqiu was beaten all over with bruises in prison! How could I not avenge this? Mr. Li! If your wife is treated like this! I'm afraid you will be as angry as me?"
Lin Yiqiu said in a joking tone.
"If Mr. Li is not as passionate as me, the eunuch, does that mean that Mr. Li is not even as good as me, the eunuch? He is not a real man?"
"You...are presumptuous! How can I allow this nonsense of yours?"
Li Yan was so sarcastic that he instantly became angry!
This Lin Yiqiu actually dared to be so arrogant when he was about to die!
If we don't kill him, no one will dare to control his arrogance in the future!
"Your Majesty, Lin Yiqiu is venting his personal anger!"
"Of course Qian Yongxu and Mr. He are at fault, but even so, they should be punished by the laws of my Daqian!"
"How can you commit murder with your own hands just because of these things? This is completely against the rules of my law!"
The next second, his words instantly aroused the recognition of other ministers around him.
"That's right! This is venting personal anger!"
"We should let the law handle it! How can you, a eunuch, kill someone in private?"
"Your Majesty! Lin Yiqiu is clearly trying to defend himself!"
There were loud shouts one after another, and they all stood firmly with Li Yan!
Emperor Qian did not say anything directly at this time, but looked at the ministers with great interest.
After a while, she asked several of them: "Master Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, what do you think of this matter?"
Hearing this, Zhou Tingyun, the Minister of Civil Service, flashed his eyebrows slightly and took a step forward slowly.
He is also an old fox. All the ministers just agreed, but he was the only one who remained silent.
At this time, Emperor Qian was pointed out, and his expression did not change at all.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that Lin Yiqiu should not be like this. If everyone in the world uses personal anger as an excuse to seek revenge, I am afraid there will be chaos in the world."
It's not serious, nor is it very intense.
However, after Li Yan listened, he felt that Zhou Tingyun was standing with him, so he immediately gave up.
"Your Majesty, you see, I think so."
Emperor Qian did not answer Li Yan's words, but continued to say to Zhou Tingyun: "Is that so? It seems to make sense."
This ambiguous tone made Zhou Tingyun instantly feel something unusual.
Then, as if to leave a way out for himself, he handed over his hand and said: "Of course, Master He and Master Qian were also wrong in this matter!"
"As Lin Yiqiu said, if a man encounters this kind of thing, he can't help it. If the eunuch is like this, if he were a minister, he would also..."
The words were not finished, but the meaning was obvious.
After Li Yan heard this, his face darkened slightly and he turned his head, looking at Zhou Tingyun with a strange look in his eyes.
"This old fox actually gave in at the critical moment."
How could Li Yan not understand this kind of statement about leaving a way out for himself?
And he also despises such behavior!
At this critical moment, as long as everyone works together, we will definitely be able to send Lin Yiqiu to the execution ground!
If someone shrinks, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen.
Emperor Qian just nodded, and then looked at Song Kuan, the Minister of Household Affairs not far away.
"Master Song, what do you think of this matter?"
"this..."
Song Kuan felt that his back was sweating and his throat was dry! This chapter has been completed!
