Chapter 2687 dissatisfaction

"For the sake of the city? Not for me? I'm afraid that's not what you really think? " Said the fourth prince.

Before, the fourth prince thought that the old Emperor didn't trust him when he arranged the army to guard at the gate of the city. But before that, the old emperor always trusted him very much, so he thought that there must be other princes making trouble behind it.

After a thorough analysis by his staff, he felt that there was a shadow of other princes behind the incident, and the general in front of him was the people of other princes.

Although the garrison in the city, under the orders of the old emperor, now obey their own orders, but the fourth prince also knows that there must be some people who do not agree with themselves in their hearts, and they will turn to other princes. The man in front of them is one of them.

"Your Highness, I am loyal to the country and your majesty." Said the prince.

"Hum!"

The fourth Prince snorted coldly, turned around and left. He didn't want to talk with the general any more. Now he is going to meet the old emperor, ask him why he doesn't trust himself, and tell him that he lost a chance to re-establish the army of Yuanfeng state tonight.

After seeing the fourth prince, the old emperor naturally appeased him and expressed his absolute trust in him. However, he didn't listen to the fourth Prince's opinion and punished the general who guarded the city gate, just saying that he would punish him.

Such a result, of course, could not satisfy the fourth prince. In front of the old emperor, he complained that the old emperor should give him the command of all the troops in the city, so that he could better command the troops and defeat the troops of Yuanfeng.

Naturally, the old emperor would not do so. He did not have complete trust in the fourth prince. The fourth prince was just a puppet pushed to the front desk by him. At the same time, he also meant to investigate the fourth prince. How could he give all the troops to him for command? It's good to give him most of the command of the army.

Moreover, the fourth Prince complains about himself so recklessly and openly, which makes the old emperor feel dissatisfied with the fourth prince. He can see that his son, perhaps because of the reason of taking power at the beginning, has been a little forgetful. Even he dare to question and doubt himself. I have forgotten who is in charge of the country?

"Well, I'm going to have a rest. Go back first!" The old emperor lost patience with the four princes.

"Father, you have not promised me the command of all the troops in the city." The fourth Prince did not leave as obediently as before, but insisted: "this is what you promised me before."

"Needless to say, I have already given you all the troops that can be given to you. Don't think about the rest." "Go down," said the old emperor

The old emperor once again made an order to the fourth prince, and his tone was a little indifferent.

However, the fourth Prince didn't seem to find the old emperor's indifference to himself. This evening's event made him very angry. His current mood seemed to be a little excited and agitated: "father! I want the command of all the army in the city. Only in this way can I defeat the army of Yuanfeng! "

"I asked you out, didn't you hear me?" The old emperor said sternly, "besides, if you feel that you can't win the army of Yuanfeng outside the city with your own army, then you should hand over the military power in your hand as early as possible, and I will give it to the people who can win."

"Father, you can't do that!" Said the fourth prince.

"Why not?! I am the emperor of this country! And you are just the prince, one of my many princes! " The old emperor snapped.

The old emperor's stern words finally calmed the hot headed fourth prince. He realized that he had just recklessly contradicted his father, which made him a little flustered.

Of course, when he was in a panic, he also felt oppressed. He felt that if the old Emperor didn't hand over all the troops to his own command, he would not fully believe in himself. He kept the military power and wanted another prince to command. He just let himself hand over the military power, the same idea.

However, at this time, it is obvious that we can't fight back. Otherwise, the old emperor will be given the opportunity to withdraw his command right now.

"Father and Emperor calm down. My son knows it's wrong. I'll go out this time." After the fourth Prince saluted, he turned and left the hall.

"Don't you want to take my command, old man!" The fourth prince thought to himself.

The result of meeting the old emperor in the evening was obviously unsatisfactory to the fourth prince, and even made him feel more resentful towards the old emperor. He was afraid that the old emperor would find a chance to take the command of his own hands.

"No, no one can take my command, not even you!" The fourth prince said fiercely in his heart.

On the other side, the old emperor looked at the back of the fourth Prince's leaving. There was no expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart. However, from the perspective of the fourth Prince's eyes, it was obvious that the fourth prince was not satisfied.

After the fourth Prince left, the old emperor asked the general who had been guarding the city. He had just heard some news from the fourth prince. However, he did not fully believe the fourth Prince's words, so he still wanted to listen to his own subordinates.

"Tell me, what's going on? I asked you to take over the troops who had left the city at night, but I didn't ask you to shut them all out and not let them in! " Said the old emperor.

Although the voice was not very loud, it scared the general to turn white. He quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It will be for the safety of this city."

Then, he told the old emperor what had happened outside the city. The old Emperor didn't interrupt him and asked him to finish.

"You mean that the army of Yuanfeng state outside the city withdrew voluntarily when it had the initiative?" After the general had finished speaking, the old emperor asked aloud.

"Yes." Said the general.

"Strange, why did they withdraw? At that time, the gate of the city was closed, and the people on the top of the city were afraid to shoot at will. They could kill all the troops out of the city and then leave. " The old emperor said to himself, obviously, he couldn't figure out what the army did in Yuanfeng.

"I don't know why they did it." The general said: "but, at the end of the day, they must not be as the fourth prince said. They did not realize that we would attack at night, so they were not fully prepared."
