Capítulo 488: It's Equal to Dying

"In truth, I must express my gratitude to the Emperor. Thank you for not imposing severe punishment on Su Bin because of me," Minister Lin expressed with gratitude.

The Emperor intended to reiterate his point to Minister Lin but was interrupted by Lord State Duke.

"Your Majesty, rebels in the south have been causing unrest for some time now. May I suggest issuing a decree to dispatch troops to quell the rebellion?"

The civil and military officials joined in, urging, "Your Majesty, please issue the decree to quell the rebellion!"

The Emperor suppressed his inner turmoil. He recalled the anonymous letter's warning about not directly confronting the Public House when his own resources were lacking.

It seemed improbable to retract Su Bin's transfer order.

Inwardly sighing, the Emperor inquired, "Esteemed ministers, which general should lead this campaign?"

Before the ministers could voice their suggestions, Lord State Duke preempted them.
