After hearing Wei Ziyao's words, he sighed. "Sigh … Indeed, I haven't been feeling well these past few days. It's better if I don't talk too much when I see Imperial Father later. Everyone says that a general is experienced on the battlefield, but the last thing I want to see in my life is death and war. I was too extreme. Ol 'Six, I'll have to trouble you later."
"Second Brother, you're being too serious." Ki Chien-chul patted his shoulder.
The three of them led Qi Tianlang to the Emperor's study slowly. The guard at the door went in to announce their arrival, and they were quickly let in.
"Greetings, Imperial Father."
The four of them knelt down in unison, but the Northern Wen Emperor didn't even raise his head.
They knelt for the time it took for an incense stick to burn before the Northern Wen Emperor said, "Second Brother, you've been in the army for more than ten years. Let me ask you, as a soldier, what is the most important thing in the army?"
"Obedience." Qi Xiaoze gritted his teeth and answered.
"Yes! Obedience! Then what have you done? The Crown Prince is the commander-in-chief of this operation, and you're the general. You disobeyed his orders and led the army into battle without permission. Do you know your crime!? "
Before meeting the Emperor, Qi Xiaoze kept comforting himself that he had to control his temper and not act rashly in front of his Imperial Father.
However, when the Northern Wen Emperor said this, he couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Imperial Father, did you do any research before you interrogate me? The Crown Prince you speak of has been sightseeing ever since he left Shenjing, delaying the march. Normally, the army should've been able to pacify the rebellion in his fief, but he's not even halfway there. This son has repeatedly advised him to speed up, but not only does he not listen, he even punished this son according to military law. After this happened several times, this son finally couldn't take it anymore and went out alone. This matter should've been easy to resolve. This son only brought three thousand men, and with less than a hundred casualties, we were able to resolve the matter and capture the heir of the King of Ji alive. Should this son be the one being interrogated? "
When he said that, Wei Ziyao tugged at the corner of his clothes, trying to make him stop talking.
But Qi Xiaoze didn't agree. "Imperial Father, I don't think I did anything wrong. If I play a little more, the people in the fief will continue to suffer. If the Crown Prince continues to play, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even the old officials in the fief will be implicated."
He continued to speak, and Wei Ziyao continued to tug.
The emperor looked up at her and waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, you don't have to pull. He won't stop even if you pull off the corner of his clothes!"
Wei Ziyao withdrew her hand. Then, the Northern Wen Emperor looked at Qi Xiaoze calmly.
"What else do you want to say? Go ahead."
"Your son would like to ask, the Crown Prince killed the soldiers for no reason. What should we do …"
"Cough cough cough … cough …" Wei Ziyao started coughing madly at the side. She poked Qi Tianlang's thigh with her hand.
The latter let out a cry, and only then did Qi Xiaoze shut up.
"Number Seven, what's wrong with you?"
"I don't know. My wound hasn't hurt for a few days. I don't know why, but it suddenly became very painful."
Hearing Number Seven's words, Wei Ziyao's face changed symbolically.
"Painful? Quick! Take him to the Imperial Hospital to find Liu Shaoyin and let Imperial Doctor Liu deal with it. "
"I'll take him there." As he spoke, Qi Xiaoze suddenly picked up Qi Tianlang, who was on the ground, and strode out, even forgetting to greet the emperor.
After he left, the Emperor glanced at Wei Ziyao and said, "You're the smart one! Do you know that you're a busybody? "
"Your Majesty, you'd better stop while you're ahead," Wei Ziyao shook her head: "If I don't find a way to get him away, you won't be able to step down!"
