2686 Chapter 2686 Dissatisfaction

"For the sake of the city? Not against me? I'm afraid your own real thinking is not like this, right?" said the fourth prince.

Before, the four princes felt that the old emperor had distrusted him by arranging the army to stay at the gate of the city. However, before that, the old emperor had always trusted him very much. Therefore, he felt that there must be something behind it. Other princes are making trouble.

After a thorough analysis by his aides, he felt even more that there were other princes behind this incident, and the general in front of him was the other prince’s people.

Although the defenders in the city, under the orders of the old emperor, are now obedient to their orders, but the four princes also know that there must be some people who do not agree with them in their hearts, and will take refuge in other princes, this person in front of them. , Is one of them.

"His Royal Highness, I am loyal to the country and to your Majesty." The prince said.

"Humph!"

The fourth prince snorted coldly, turned his head and left. He didn't want to talk nonsense with this general. He is going to see the old emperor now, asking him why he didn't trust him, and telling him that he lost an army that had severely damaged Yuanfeng country tonight. Opportunity.

After the old emperor met the four princes, he naturally calmed down and expressed his absolute trust in him, but he did not follow the advice of the four princes and severely punished the general who guarded the city gate, only that he would be punished. .

Such a result naturally cannot satisfy the four princes. In front of the old emperor, he complained for a while. He felt that the old emperor should give him the command of all the troops in the city so that he can better command the army. Only by fighting can we be more sure to defeat Yuanfengguo's army.

Naturally, the old emperor would not do this. He did not completely trust the four princes. The four princes were just a puppet who was pushed to the front desk by him. At the same time, he also meant to investigate the four princes. Give him the command of the army?Giving him most of the commanding power of the army is already pretty good.

Moreover, the four princes were so unscrupulous, blatantly complaining and complaining about themselves, which made the old emperor feel a little dissatisfied with the four princes in his heart. He could see that his own son may have been a little forgotten because of the first time in power. Even himself, he dared to question, doubt, he was I forgot, who is in power in this country?

"Okay, I am going to rest, you go back first!" The old emperor lost patience with the four princes.

"Father, you haven't promised to give me command of all the troops in the city." The four princes did not leave as obediently as before, but insisted: "This is what you promised me before."

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

The old emperor once again ordered the four princes to chase away their guests, and his tone became somewhat indifferent.

However, the four princes did not seem to notice the old emperor’s indifferent attitude towards him. What happened tonight made him very angry. His current mood seemed a little excited and restless: "Father! I want the command of all the troops in the city. Only in this way can I defeat Yuanfengguo's army!"

"I asked you to go out, didn't you hear?!" The old emperor said sternly: "Also, if you feel that you can't defeat Yuanfeng State's army outside the city with your own army, then you can take your hand as soon as possible. Hand over the military power, I will give command to those who can win."

"Father, you can't do this!" said the fourth prince.

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

The stern words of the old emperor finally calmed down the hot-headed four princes. Only then did he realize that he had just rashly collided with his father, which made him a little flustered.

Of course, when he was flustered, he also felt aggrieved. He felt that the old emperor did not give all the army to his command, he must not completely believe in himself. He retained the military power and wanted to let another prince come. Command, just let himself surrender power, the same idea.

However, at this time, it was obvious that he couldn't stand up to it anymore, otherwise, the old emperor was given a chance, maybe he would withdraw his command right now.

"Father's anger is calmed down, my son knows that I was wrong, I will go out this time." After the four princes saluted, they turned and left the hall.

"I'm not dead, don't want to take away my command!" the fourth prince thought.

The result of seeing the old emperor this evening was obviously not satisfactory to the four princes, and even deepened his resentment towards the old emperor. He was also afraid that the old emperor would find a chance to take command from him.

"No, no one should want to take away my command, not even you!" The fourth prince said cruelly.

On the other side, the old emperor looked at the four princes leaving behind with no expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking. However, from the eyes of the four princes, it was obvious that the four princes were not satisfied.

After the four princes left, the old emperor asked the general who guarded the city to call. He just heard some news from the four princes. However, he did not completely believe the words of the four princes, so he still wanted to listen. Hear what my subordinate said.

"Let's talk about it, what the hell is going on? I asked you to pick up the army that went out of the city at night, but I didn't ask you to shut them all out and not come in!" said the old emperor.

Although the voice was not very loud, the general was so scared that his face turned pale. He knelt down and said: "Your Majesty calms down his anger, the general is also for the safety of this city."

Immediately afterwards, he told the old emperor what had happened outside the city before, and the old emperor did not interrupt him, and kept letting him finish.

"You mean, Yuanfeng State's army outside the city took the initiative to retreat?" The old emperor asked aloud after the general had finished speaking.

"Yes." The general said.

"It's strange, why did they retreat? The city gate was closed at that time, and people on the top of the city didn't dare to shoot arrows at will. They could kill all the troops out of the city before leaving." The old emperor said to himself. Dao, obviously, he has no idea what the Yuanfeng country’s army did.

"The final general can't figure out why they want to do this." The general said: "However, the final general is sure, they are definitely not what the four princes said. They didn't realize that we would attack at night, so they were not fully prepared."
