Chapter 134 How Naive Is the Emperor?
The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and felt that what he said made sense, but she was still a little worried.
"Once civil strife breaks out, it won't end in a day or two." She frowned, "Is the Emperor sure?"
Of course Yan Chen is not sure, but he has no other way at the moment. If Yan Qing doesn't give him the antidote, he will have to endure severe poisonous torture every month, not to mention how painful and torment it is. Who can bear the pain for three whole days?
Let’s talk about the regent Yan Cang. He clearly holds the power of regent and has the position of assisting the emperor. He should eradicate the rebellion for him, suppress the evil star Yan Qing who has long been disloyal, and get the antidote for him. However, Yan Cang Cang now also supports his troops and respects himself, and does not take him as the emperor seriously at all.
Yan Chen can only rely on himself.
Even if it causes civil strife, it will be better than being unable to do anything now.
The Queen Mother then agreed to his decision.
It has to be said that the Queen Mother contributed a lot to the reason why Yan Chen was in such a situation. Not to mention her lack of courage and ability to teach her son, she also did not show any of the qualities that a Queen Mother should have in terms of winning the hearts of her son. of decisiveness.
He couldn't even win over his own daughter, but he still wanted to attack the most feared regent. It really couldn't be described as "stupid".
Although Yan Chen's brain is not good, his actions are not slow. Especially when dealing with Yan Qing and Yan Cang, his actions can be said to be nimble.
After leaving Ren'an Palace, he urgently summoned several cabinet ministers, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the two generals of the Huben Army, and announced that King Suzaku was planning to rebel.
"King Suzaku?" The Cabinet King was shocked, "This...how is this possible?"
Yan Chen's tone was cold: "The Suzaku King and the eldest princess have been plotting for a long time. The disobedience is not just a day or two, but it started when Yan Qing returned to the capital with the order. She poisoned me. Who gave her the confidence to break into the city gate with her Qilin Guards, and kidnapped the son of a minister in the process? "
Mr. Xu's expression was solemn, and Mr. Ji, the Minister of Household Affairs, was stabbed in his heart and couldn't help but start to worry about his son.
"Your Majesty, if we really want to attack the Suzaku King, it will not be easy for the other three kings to send troops." Master Wang frowned, "The four vassal kings have been guarding the four territories of Dayong for a hundred years, and they already have a sense of belonging to their respective fiefdoms. The king also has the mentality that one will be prosperous and the other will be harmed. If the emperor makes a hasty decree, will it cause speculation among the other three kings? "
"Yes, I am also worried." Mr. Xu nodded, "How about waiting for Mr. Wen to come back from suppressing the rebellion? The suppression of the rebellion in the south has not yet ended. If we send troops again, I'm afraid..."
"They're all a bunch of trash!" Yan Chen stood up and stared at the old guys in front of him coldly, "I'm letting you come up with ideas, not holding you back!"
The ministers knelt down quickly: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Immediately draw up a decree and order the three kings Qinglong, Baihu and Xuanwu to besiege Suzaku City and eliminate the rebellion for me. Anyone who dares to resist the decree will be my enemy!"
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
"emperor!"
Yan Chen couldn't think twice. He looked at the important ministers in front of him coldly: "Yan Qing relied on the power of King Suzaku to dare to ignore the imperial power. Do you oppose the crusade against King Suzaku, do you want to go against me, or do you want to wait for King Suzaku's power? Getting bigger day by day?”
"I don't dare! I have absolutely no intention of doing this!" Mr. Wang said urgently, "Your Majesty, we don't have enough troops at the moment and the treasury is tight..."
"The three kings quell the rebellion without me sending troops or taking money from the treasury. You don't have to worry."
Mr. Wang suddenly stopped talking, his expression was extremely strange.
He couldn't believe that this sentence would come out of the mouth of the current emperor. Does this mean that the court can make the four kings kill each other without sending troops or money, and only issuing an edict to tell the world that the Suzaku King has a rebellious intention?
How naive is the emperor?
Several ministers had this idea in their minds at the same time, and suddenly realized that they could not make sense with the emperor at all.
Even if an emperor is headstrong, if he knows how to weigh things and knows the art of the emperor, then even if they die to remonstrate, at least they can bet on the chance that the emperor will recover his life.
But their emperor is more like a child who has just emerged from the greenhouse. He does not understand the way of an emperor at all, nor does he understand how much harm the war has caused to the country.
The four vassal kings have developed to this day, and their military strength is strong, and the economic strength of their fiefdoms is not weak. If they join forces, the court will have to think twice. But the emperor actually naively thinks that a decree can make them kill each other?
Mr. Xu couldn't help but wonder, if Mr. Chief Assistant were here, how would he react to the emperor's decision?
"The Ministry of War is responsible for arranging a few agile soldiers to quickly spread the decree to the three fiefdoms of Qinglong, White Tiger and Xuanwu." Yan Chen made a decisive decision and coldly ordered, "We must let them send troops as soon as possible. Within three months, I want to see Suzaku King Luming and Yan Qing were escorted back to Beijing!"
