“This incident was caused by a locust plague. If the father could transfer the money to the victims as soon as possible without following the rules, it would be possible to solve the knots of the people.”
After saying this, Yan Liqing solemnly bowed to the emperor: “The bandits on the barren mountain have become the fuse for the fermentation of this matter. My son dared to ask the father to take back the order to round them up and give symbolic rewards to those bandits to calm the hearts of the people.”
“The fourth brother’s words are really a loss of the identity of a prince!” Yan Lichen, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly sneered, and people spoke unexpectedly: “No matter what, this bandit is a disaster that harms the people, how can it be so lenient! If the father lets them go, it is hard to guarantee that no one will have any intention of wealth. What if he organizes a few more mountains to open? Everyone knows that the father hates bandits and bandits. Isn’t the Fourth Brother saying this clearly against his father?”
Since they came to this hall, Yan Lichen has been kneeling in place without saying a word. Chu Nianhe knew that he was definitely not a tolerant personality, and he was just unable to find Yan Liqing’s mistakes. As expected, he finally couldn’t help it. He grabbed Yan Liqing’s words and said something. Based on the emperor’s impression of him, he would have to trust him for no reason.
The emperor was indeed silent. Yan Liqing did not want to refute Yan Lichen, but persuaded the emperor again: “Father, public opinion is the most important thing at this moment. If it is to calm the people’s hearts, the father should really put his preferences aside!”
Hearing Yan Liqing speak so much that he ignored the emperor’s thoughts, Chu Nianhe couldn’t help but feel anxious. Compared with Yan Lichen, who is so sensible, Yan Liqing’s speech is really not beautiful enough. The emperor is the emperor’s ninety-five-year-old, and he is powerful without anger. If it arouses his thunderous anger at this moment, it is probably all his previous actions will be in vain.
As expected, Yan Lichen sneered again after hearing Yan Liqing’s words: “The Fourth Brother is so arrogant. Even if the father gives you a good look now, you should stop. How can you ignore the dignity of your father in order to show yourself?”
After that, he turned around and Yan Liqing had a half-explanation, and said to the emperor: “I know that I can’t excuse me this time. Now I only ask my father to give me a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious service, let me strangle the bandits, appease the people, and fight against the mob! Please give me orders immediately!”
Yan Lichen is most used to saying high-sounding words, and this is very beautiful, which makes people feel comfortable. Yan Liqing was anxious for a moment and thought of refuting Yan Lichen. But Chu Nianhe knew that this was not a good time, so she secretly grabbed the corner of his clothes and stopped him.
Now the decision was returned to the emperor’s hand. He looked at Yan Lichen, who had always loved him, and then Yan Liqing, who was standing a little far away, didn’t know how to make a decision. After thinking about it, he turned his eyes toChu Nianhe lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and said to her, “Is the newly-granted female official Chu, who is standing behind Ruohan?”
Although Chu Nianhe was not afraid of such a scene, she still knelt down respectfully and said in a trepid manner, “Report to the emperor, he is the subordinate.”
Although her actions were artificial in the eyes of the queen, the emperor was very helpful. She waved to her and said, “No need to be polite, get up and talk!”
Seeing Chu Nianhe get up, the emperor said again, “The people present today are my wife and children. I am afraid they will be biased no matter what decision I make. You have listened for a long time, so why don’t you tell your opinions!”
When he heard the emperor’s words, Chu Nianhe deliberately showed a timid look and said, “The officials… the officials have never been to court. I am afraid that what they say will arouse the wrath of the emperor and implicate the elders in the family…”
Although Chu Nianhe was wearing a solemn female official uniform, his expression was still a shy little daughter’s expression, which was very innocent and cute in the eyes of the emperor. His gloomy mood suddenly dissipated a lot, and he laughed and said, “Chu Pingke is good at raising and teaches you a child who is polite and filial. It doesn’t matter! Even if you say that, I just think that I will not punish you if I listen to it!”
