Chapter 134 How naive the emperor is
The queen mother pondered for a moment and felt that what he said made some sense, but she was still a little worried.
"Once the civil strife starts, it will not end in one or two days." She frowned, "Is the emperor sure?"
Yan Chen was certainly not sure, but there was no other way at the moment. If Yan Qing did not give him the antidote, he would have to endure the severe poison torture every month. Not to mention how painful it was, it was unbearable. Every time it broke out, who could bear the pain for a whole day?
Besides, the regent Yan Cang, who clearly had the power of regent and the duty of assisting the emperor, should have eradicated the rebellion for him, suppressed Yan Qing, the evil star who had long had the heart of rebellion, and got the antidote for him. However, Yan Cang now also had his own troops and did not take the emperor seriously at all.
Yan Chen could only rely on himself.
Even if it causes civil unrest, it is better than being unable to do anything now.
The Queen Mother agreed with her decision.
It must be said that the Queen Mother contributed greatly to Yan Chen's current situation - not to mention her lack of courage and ability to teach her son, she did not show any decisiveness as a Queen Mother should have in winning the hearts of her son.
She couldn't even win over her own daughter, and she had to run into the most feared regent's gun. It's really not just "stupid" to describe it.
Although Yan Chen's brain is not good, his action is not slow. In particular, he acted quickly in dealing with Yan Qing and Yan Cang.
After leaving Ren'an Palace, she urgently summoned several ministers of the cabinet, the ministers of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, and the two generals of the Tiger Guard Army, and announced that the Suzaku King had the intention of rebellion.
"Suzaku King?" Lord Wang of the Cabinet was shocked, "How... how is this possible?"
Yan Chen's tone was cold: "Suzaku King and the Princess have been conspiring for a long time, and the rebellious heart has been there for a long time. There were signs when Yan Qing returned to the capital by order. Before she poisoned me, she led the Qilin Guard to force her way through the city gate, and during that time she also kidnapped the son of a minister in the court. Who gave her the confidence?"
Lord Xu had a solemn expression, and Lord Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was even more touched and began to worry about his son.
"Your Majesty, if you really want to attack the Suzaku King, it may not be easy to get his kings to send troops." Lord Wang frowned, "The four vassal kings have been guarding the four frontiers of Dayong for many years, and they have long had a sense of belonging to their respective fiefdoms. The four kings have a mentality of sharing the same fate. If Your Majesty rashly issues an order, will it cause other kings to speculate?"
"Yes, I have such concerns." Lord Xu nodded, "Why don't we wait for Lord Wen to rebel and come back before discussing it? The rebellion in the south has not ended yet. If we send troops again, I'm afraid..."
"You are all a bunch of trash!" Yan Chen slammed the table and stood up, staring at the old guys in front of him with cold eyes, "I will let you make decisions, not let you hold me back!"
The ministers knelt down hurriedly: "Your Majesty Calm down!"
"Draft an edict immediately, order the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise Kings to besiege Suzaku City and eliminate the rebellion for me. Whoever dares to disobey the edict will be my enemy!"
"Your Majesty, please think about it!"
"Your Majesty!"
Yan Chen couldn't think, and looked coldly at the important officials in front of him: "Yan Qing dared to disregard the imperial power because of the power of the Suzaku King. You oppose the crusade against the Suzaku King and want to go against me. Do you want to wait for the Suzaku King's power to grow? "
"I dare not! I have no such intention!" Lord Wang said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the troops are insufficient and the treasury is tight..."
"The king is rebelling, there is no need for me to send troops, nor to take money from the treasury, you don't have to worry. "
Lord Wang suddenly stopped talking, his expression was extremely strange.
I can't believe that this sentence would come from the current emperor. Does it mean that the court has no soldiers or money, only an imperial edict to announce to the world that the Suzaku King has the intention of rebellion, and can make the four kings kill each other?
How naive is the emperor.
Several ministers had this thought in their minds at the same time, and suddenly realized that they could not communicate with the emperor at all.
Even if an emperor is stubborn, if he knows how to weigh the pros and cons and knows the art of being an emperor, then even if they die to persuade him, at least they can gamble on the chance that the emperor will take back his order.
But our emperor is more like a child who has just been in a greenhouse. He doesn't understand the way of the emperor at all, and doesn't understand how much damage war brings to the country.
The four vassal kings have developed to this point, with powerful military forces and strong economic strength in their fiefdoms. If they join forces, the court will have to consider it again. But the emperor naively thinks that a decree can make them kill each other?
Lord Xu couldn't help but wonder, if the Prime Minister thought so, how would he react to the emperor's decision?
"The Ministry of War is responsible for arranging a few sensitive soldiers to pass the decree to the fiefdoms of Qinglong, Baihu and Xuanwu as soon as possible." Yan Chen made a prompt decision and ordered coldly, "Make sure you send troops as soon as possible. Within a month, I want to see Suzaku King Luming and Yan Qing escorted back to Beijing!"
