Chapter 2688 light punishment (1/2)
The old emperor nodded. Compared with his son, who was not very reliable, he was obviously more willing to believe his subordinates. At least, the smell of the other side for the battlefield was much higher than that of the fourth prince.
However, the behavior of the other side did cause a lot of losses on their side. It is also a fact that the fourth Prince is noisy. Although he has lost some patience and hope for him, he still has to do some face-saving things.
The old emperor said to the general, ”you have done something wrong. I asked you to take over the army that attacked the city at night, instead of closing the door. You have disobeyed my order. Of course, in the way that the emperor's life would not be accepted, I also know that the fourth Prince's side also needs to give him an account. In this way, I will punish you for two months of food and pay, and And, go to apologize to the fourth prince in person, explain, OK? Is it acceptable? ”
”Thank you for your grace!” The general quickly knelt down and said thanks.
He knew that the old emperor's action had already opened the door to him. Before he came, he was ready to be severely punished. Although he did think for the sake of the city, he did disobey the order of the old emperor, and it also led to the internal strife of the army, which was caused by his decision. He must be responsible. In addition, the fourth Prince Hall If I have any opinion about him, I must sue myself.
This is, he did not think, although the old emperor also punished him, but the intensity of punishment is very light, only two months of food and salaries, which is how different from no punishment? The money, which he had slightly withheld from the soldiers, came back. For him, such punishment was like no punishment at all.
Therefore, naturally, he would not have any opinion on the order of the old emperor, and he accepted it at the first time, and then thanked the old emperor for his kindness.
The old emperor nodded and said, ”go, you are still guarding the city gate. No one is allowed to leave the city without my order, you know?”
”I will understand!” Said the general, bowing his hand.
Then the old emperor waved and let him out.
The general left in relief.
In fact, at the beginning of the old emperor, he really wanted to punish him well. After all, he did disobey his orders. Although he was responsible for the security of the city, how could he command the army below if everyone did so? He must be severely punished if he acts recklessly.
However, the attitude of the fourth Prince towards him changed the old emperor's original idea. He found that his son was already a little complacent and did not pay attention to himself, which was obviously not acceptable to the old emperor. He would not allow the fourth prince to exceed his control.
, therefore, what the old emperor did not intend to do was to punish the general again, instead, he kept on guarding the city gate, like a nail, and was staid near the four princes. He warned him not to have any idea that he should not have, and that he should let the four emperors understand who has the final say in the city and the country, and who is in power.
