Chapter 2689 silk does not yield (1/2)
”Your Highness, fourth prince, I apologize for the rashness before.” After meeting the fourth Prince smoothly, the general apologized to him. On the surface, at least, his apology was sincere.
After he came back from the old emperor, the fourth prince was always in a bad mood. In addition, what happened at the city wall at night also made him unhappy. Therefore, he had not slept all the time, but he didn't think of it. He had to wait for the general to see him.
For the general at the gate of the city, the fourth Prince naturally hated him very much. That guy didn't give himself face in public, didn't obey his orders, and also delayed his chance to make great contributions. Therefore, the fourth Prince didn't want to see him.
However, he also wanted to know what the old emperor's punishment was for the general, so after a little hesitation, he agreed to meet the general.
The fourth Prince looked at the general kneeling in front of him and wished that he would be killed now, especially when he saw that there was no trace of being whipped on the other side and his face was even very relaxed.
Obviously, his father and Emperor didn't really punish the general, maybe they just gave symbolic reproaches, which made the four princes who were dissatisfied with the old emperor even more unhappy.
”Do you know what it is to offend the prince?” Asked his Highness the fourth prince.
”There will be no crime at the end, which is the practice that your majesty agrees with. At the end, there will be only some recklessness in the process of carrying out the task, which has led to some misunderstanding between you and your highness.” The general's face remained the same, and there was no retreat.
His opinion is very obvious. I come to apologize to you. It's not that I admit that it was a mistake not to open the gate before, but that I think I roughly refused your order. It's just a bit inappropriate. I should explain it to you.
Naturally, such an attitude can't satisfy the fourth prince. However, he also saw that the other side was not afraid of himself or offending himself. There must be his father who played a role in it.
”Let your men be removed from the gate, which from now on will be guarded by my men.” Said the fourth prince.
”It's impossible!” The general refused without hesitation: ”I will guard the gate according to your Majesty's will. Without your Majesty's order, I will not withdraw. On the contrary, please remind your highness not to approach the gate at will. Otherwise, I am afraid that my man will be killed as the spy of Yuanfeng!”
Threat! Red fruit threat!
The fourth Prince felt that he had not dissipated the anger in his stomach. He let it rise again to make his whole face red. Naturally, he was not shy, but angry by the general.
The fourth prince thought that after his complaint, the general would be punished and his attitude towards himself would be changed.
However, he now finds out that he is wrong. Not only has he not been punished, but also his attitude has become more arrogant than before. I don't need to think about it. He must have received support and encouragement from his father. Otherwise, how dare he, a small general, talk to himself like this?
