Chapter 381: Candidates for counter-insurgency

Xia Yimeng's voice was pretending to be low and a little unbelievable.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't stop frowning.

"Zheng Xianba? If the Ai family remembers correctly, this guy was the guard of Tianshui City back then, right? He was the border general!"

The Queen Mother is quite familiar with the affairs in the court, and he has also heard some of Zheng Xianba's name.

Previously, when the late emperor was still there, Zheng Xianba, who had received the emperor's favor, had always been honest and carried out his duties without any tendency to rebel.

Why did they suddenly rebel?

"Where did you hear that?"

The Queen Mother asked first.

Xia Yimeng was very cautious, so it was impossible to say that Li Yan sent someone to tell her.

Instead, he returned very casually: "Oh, it's the eunuch under me who got the news in the capital."

"It is said that there are already many refugees from Xingyang in the capital!"

"So that's how it is. This Zheng Xian, the hegemon, accepted the emperor's favor and did not think about repaying his loyalty. He actually dared to raise a flag of rebellion against the imperial court! Such a general should be cut into pieces!"

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, protecting the throne of Daqian is the most important thing.

And anyone who threatens the throne of Daqian will not be able to live!

This Zheng Xianba has obviously touched his reverse scale!

But even so, the Queen Mother did not think this matter was too troublesome.

"Although Zheng Xianba made meritorious deeds in his early battles and was a fierce general, the Ai family doesn't think he can achieve much success if he stirs up a rebellion by himself."

"I guess His Majesty has already made arrangements and this farce will be put to rest soon."

The Queen Mother was still very confident about Emperor Qian.

If this rebellion can make Emperor Qian himself in chaos, then he is not worthy of sitting on the throne.

Xia Yimeng did not refute, but kept echoing: "The Queen Mother is right. With my father's strength, there is no problem in dealing with Zheng Xianba, but..."

"It's just what? Why are you hesitating when you speak?"

The Queen Mother frowned displeased.

Xia Yimeng quickly replied: "I heard from the eunuchs in the palace that my father seems to be struggling with who should be sent to quell the rebellion."

"Your Majesty, think about it, most of the generals are now guarding outside the pass and cannot come back in time."

"King Pingnan is already old, and his son is too young, so they are not suitable. Your Majesty seems to be quite confused about who should be chosen to suppress the rebellion."

This is the crux of the problem, and after hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but start to frown and think.

You are right, there seems to be no one around the capital who is suitable to put down the rebellion.

Those border guards all have heavy responsibilities and cannot be easily mobilized.

Once mobilized, it means telling the surrounding countries that there is civil strife in the country.

By then, no one is sure what new crises will arise beyond the border.

In the Qian Kingdom, as Xia Yimeng said, King Pingnan is old and is no longer fit to go into battle.

Previously, in order to clean up Xia Qingwu's rebellion, he had already been troubled once.

If he was allowed to go again this time, not only Emperor Qian would feel guilty, but even the Queen Mother would feel it was inappropriate.

King Pingnan is only a few years younger than herself. At such an age, she should take good care of her natural strength.

If something happens, if he, a veteran, is asked to take action, doesn't it mean that he has no successor?

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother instantly understood why Emperor Qian was struggling.

It is indeed difficult to handle. Who can be sent to do it?

As the original border guard, Zheng Xianba was said to be brave and reckless.

But his fighting ability is still unquestionable.

If the people sent to counter the rebellion are too weak, they may not be able to solve the problem at all and will die in vain.

While thinking about it, the Queen Mother, Xia Yimeng, and the old nanny had already descended the mountain and returned to the courtyard.

At this moment, the Queen Mother suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, let Lin Yiqiu go, he is very experienced!"

Is Lin Yiqiu capable? Very capable!

He was the one who had to deal with the rebellion of the eldest princess and the riot in Shiye City before!

At that time, Tang Zhaoyi was trapped in Shiye City, and it was only Lin Yiqiu who successfully rescued him.

Therefore, the Queen Mother has placed more trust in Lin Yiqiu since then!

If he is asked to deal with Zheng Xianba, he is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate!

He can even deal with Xia Qingwu, but is he afraid that he can't deal with Zheng Xianba?

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother felt that there was no more suitable candidate than Lin Yiqiu!

A strange look flashed in Xia Yimeng's eyes. What she wanted was for the Queen Mother to connect this matter to Lin Yiqiu.

Therefore, she quickly echoed: "What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true. With Governor Lin's ability, it will be easy to suppress this rebellion."

"But I also heard that my father seems to be very confused about this."

"Tangled? Tangled about what?"

The Queen Mother was very puzzled.

"Isn't Lin Yiqiu unwilling? He's not such a person, is he?"

Based on the Queen Mother's understanding of Lin Yiqiu, she would never refuse at all when faced with such a crisis for her family and country!

Otherwise, Emperor Qian would not be able to reuse him.

Xia Yimeng quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, no, that's not the case. I just heard from the eunuchs in the palace that my father seems to be really unwilling to bother Governor Lin anymore."

"After all, Governor Lin has done so much for Da Gan. If something goes wrong this time, my father may not be able to bear it!"

"Your Majesty, think about it, Governor Lin is so powerful. If something unexpected happens during the counter-rebellion, it will be a big loss to me!"

Xia Yimeng was talking sarcastically.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother's expression changed.

After thinking for a few seconds, she said: "Your Majesty, it is not unreasonable to think so. Lin Yiqiu has done a lot for the country."

"Inside and outside the palace, if it weren't for him as a eunuch, I would have gone through several crises and I really don't know how I would have survived them!"

It sounds like the Queen Mother agrees with why Emperor Qian is so troubled.

But soon, she changed the topic and continued: "But the more times this happens, the more capable people should be allowed to take over!"

"The Ai family doesn't believe that Lin Yiqiu will have any shortcomings in the contest with Zheng Xianba! With his ability, Zheng Xianba will not be his opponent!"

"For this rebellion, there is no better candidate than Governor Lin! And this is also an opportunity to make great contributions! Lin Yiqiu will not refuse!"

The Queen Mother said with great certainty.

Xia Yimeng continued to follow her words.

"Queen Mother, I think so too, but if my father doesn't agree, it seems useless for us to think about it."

"In the end, it still depends on my father's opinion, don't you think?"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother became a little unhappy.

"It's true that I should listen to his opinion, but this matter is related to my safety, so it must be done safely! There can be no mistakes!"

"Letting Lin Yiqiu go is the most responsible move for me! If he doesn't want to, the Aijia can only go and tell him in person!"
