Xiao Ling didn't want to talk anymore.
Because she clearly realized that what she said seemed to be of no use at all, and Chu Zei had a mysterious confidence in his younger brother.
She had actually felt this attitude from her previous interactions with Chu Yi.
Compared with Chu Yi's dominance, Xiao Ling seems to be much more cautious in his actions. In the past, many of his decisions were made after repeated research and consideration.
At this point, there were some differences in the two people's personalities.
Xiao Ling finally gave up trying to persuade him, moved her face away from him, and then turned over with dissatisfaction.
While expressing dissatisfaction, he muttered softly:
"I can't convince you. No, I won't tell you. I've already told you before that your blind self-confidence will eventually lead to suffering."
Seeing this, Chu Yi hugged her from behind again.
"It's not about self-confidence, but what I care about, that can really give me such confidence. I believe that under such conditions, my third brother will resolve the current crisis."
After a pause, he continued softly, "Of course, I treat Your Majesty the same way."
Xiao Ling: “…”
Chu thief, he really...
A sense of warmth inexplicably emerged in her heart, but the seriousness of the matter made her hesitate.
"Go to sleep,"
After a long while, Xiao Ling leaned his back against Chu Yi's arms and said, "It's getting late. I need to think about this matter carefully."
…
Early the next morning, not long after Xiao Ling returned to the palace, a eunuch reported that Shi Qingxue wanted to see him, saying that there was a result regarding the scholars' gathering and causing trouble yesterday.
She was a little surprised that Shi Qingxue's investigation progress was quite fast, so she ordered Shi Qingxue to go to Zichen Palace.
In the Purple Palace, after a simple greeting, Shi Qingxue didn't say anything more and spoke directly:
"Your Majesty, regarding the riot caused by the scholars last night, I have preliminarily identified the mastermind behind it after investigation."
"Besides Feng Wenxuan, commander of the Military Affairs Department, the other six-rank generals implicated in this incident include Yan Yu, assistant commander of the Front Army Governor's Office, and Yu Shengwu, commander of the Heavenly Secret Battalion. The mastermind behind this is General Qiu Wu, Grand Commander of the Front Army Governor's Office..."
Shi Qingxue listed all the military generals involved that he had investigated, and finally presented the list in his hand.
After all, the emperor only needs to take a look at some of the other little Luo Luos, and there is no need to bother with each name one by one.
Xiao Ling took the list and took a quick look at it. Although he had expected this, he was still shocked.
Because the people Shi Qingxue mentioned and the people on the list were indeed some military generals in the court who were originally in cahoots with the Chu family.
But she herself had never thought that after Chu Yi showed that he did not want to rebel, these soldiers would turn against him so quickly.
No, perhaps what happened yesterday should not be considered as betrayal, but what was done was tantamount to forcing Chu Yi openly or covertly.
Xiao Ling couldn't imagine that Chu Yan and his men were so reckless at the very beginning. Even if Chu Yi really ascended the throne as they wished, would these warriors in the army be truly loyal to Chu Yi?
While she was daydreaming for a moment, Shi Qingxue couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Your Majesty, do you want me to arrest these people on the list?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ling shook his head helplessly.
"The generals on this list are already disloyal to the imperial court. If you act rashly, they'll probably fight to the death."
"Then what does Your Majesty think?" Shi Qingxue was inevitably confused.
In the current situation, if we don’t kill the chicken to scare the monkey, it will only make those generals more unscrupulous in pursuit of fame and fortune.
If you want to stabilize the situation, you have to do this.
With your majesty's mindset, you can't just give up the throne and let this crisis be resolved, right?
Shi Qingxue felt it was unrealistic.
It was also at this time that Xiao Ling placed the list in his hand on the imperial desk.
"General Shi, please give this list to Chu Yan, and he will handle the rest. After much thought, it seems that only you are suitable to do this."
Shi Qingxue: “???”
What is the emperor's plan?
By giving the list to Chu Yan, were you afraid that he wouldn't know which of his subordinates were his trusted ministers?
Also, why is it more appropriate for me to do this myself?
But after thinking about it, Shi Qingxue suppressed the doubts in his heart.
"Your Majesty has handed this list to Chu Yan. Do you have anything else to tell him?"
Xiao Ling shook his head slightly, "No, the rest depends on how he handles it."
Shi Qingxue was really confused, but she still respectfully picked up the list on the table and left the imperial study.
Xiao Ling closed the door and rested for a while on the dragon throne before opening his eyes and looking at Yuzhu.
"Yuzhu, is there any news about Chu Yi?"
Yuzhu shook her head, "Your Majesty, I heard from the palace guards that Lord Chu did not come to the Ministry of Personnel this morning."
