Chapter 1206: Kill Silently
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Defeating Qian Jiyun was unrealistic. They would be doomed if Qian Jiyun targeted them instead.
âYour Majesty, didnât you send Prince De to the southern border previously? Was there any update from Prince De?â a minister asked.
The old Emperor was speechless.
Could he not bring this up? His head hurt even more at the mention of Prince De.
Did he send his son to reclaim the army at the southern border? Sending his son was obviously a form of compensation!
Once Prince De entered the southern border, he was like a clay ox entering the sea. There were no updates from him at all. The old Emperor might as well have sent his loyal general back then.
âIâm afraid there wonât be any news from the southern border so soon. Qian Jiyun has been deployed there for many years. It wonât be easy to take him down in a short time.â
Before the old Emperor could say anything, someone found an excuse for him.
He had advised the Emperor not to send Prince De to the southern border. However, the Emperor refused to listen and insisted on hitting the southern wall to realize his mistake.
However, even if he knew the Emperor was in the wrong, how could he force the Emperor to admit his mistake?
âYour Majesty, since Qian Jiyun has returned, why donât we make sure he canât leave the capital again? Do you think thatâs okay?â the minister suggested as he looked up at the old Emperor seriously.
âHow can that be okay?â
His words immediately attracted objections from the others.
Killing Qian Jiyun was a small matter, but the imperial court would be in chaos if the savages at the southern border rebelled.
They could not allow internal conflict to break out in the country because of Qian Jiyun.
âYour Majesty, since we havenât subdued the 18 Stockaded Villages, I suggest we refrain from touching Prince Zhan Yun for the time being. If we anger him and he wants to rebelââ
Upon hearing that, the old Emperorâs expression darkened.
He had no intention of killing Qian Jiyun immediately. However, Qian Jiyun could rebel at any time if he wanted to. He really could not let such a scourge live.
He exhaled heavily and looked at the ministers with a dark expression.
âQian Jiyun cannot stay any longer. Heâll definitely cause a huge problem if he does.â Although he said that, Qian Jivun was already a hilĂe problem for him.
He would rather Qian Jiyun die and cause a huge commotion at the southern border. It would only result in a few turbulent years at the border, rather than Qian Jiyun overthrowing their Yan family.
âTell me, is there any way to kill Qian Jiyun quietly?â he asked.
âWellâŠâ The ministers looked at each other.
They were all the old Emperorâs trusted aides and were not to be underestimated. However, none dared to rush to speak out in this matter involving Qian Jiyun.
They had tried killing Qian Jiyun, but when had they ever succeeded? âYour Majesty, Qian Jiyun is very skilled and is in the capital. It will be difficult to kill him.â They looked at the emperor with troubled expressions.
âSo you mean I canât kill someone I want to?â the old Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.
In the past, he would put up a front in front of his trusted ministers. But he had grown even more afraid of Qian Jiyun and could not be bothered to pretend
anymore..
