C346 It Would be Hard for the General to Convince Him If He Made a Mistake

"Oh, it's like this, Your Majesty. Prince Mu was too sad because of the death of the Cloud Guardian on the battlefield, and his constitution was not as good as it usually was. In addition, he had been rushing all the way here, so he had caught a cold. He was recuperating in his residence, and the doctor said that it was not appropriate for him to go out during the cold. It would be best to rest in the residence. Initially, the Royal Highness wanted the official to take a leave of absence from the Emperor. In the end, this matter was forgotten after the commotion and the Emperor is to punish him. " As he spoke, General Qu quickly stood up and knelt on the ground. He cupped his fists over his head.

"So that's how it is. Thank you all for your hard work. General Qu, there is no need to be so polite. Quickly get up. You are a meritorious official of Great Ming. I have no intention of blaming you. " The Emperor grabbed General Qu's shoulder and smiled as he indicated for him to get up.

"Emperor, this official would like to ask. Prince Mu almost got wiped out when he led his troops out this time. What is the Emperor planning to do with him?"

"About this, hahaha, it's a secret. You will know tomorrow. Alright. You guys play, I'll go drink with the other officials. " After saying that, he got up and prepared to leave.

"Emperor, can we borrow a step? We will go outside. This official still has something to report to him. " As he speaks, General Qu cups his hands and says.

"What is it?" When the Emperor saw General Qu being so serious, he knew that things did not go well. He stopped and turned around to look at him.

"Emperor, it is about Jia Tianwei. "

"Alright, then let's go to the pavilion outside. Jinying, wait for us here. " After saying that, the two of them stood up and walked out.

When they arrived at the pavilion and sat down, the Emperor arranged for several people to surround the pavilion and not allow anyone to approach.

"Speak, what is it?"

"Replying to the Emperor, this official previously wrote a letter to the Emperor that Jia Tianwei and Black Shadow Envoy were captured and Jia Tianwei also died in prison. But the result was not like this at all. "

"Oh? What was that?"

"Actually, they didn't die at all. When we were stationed outside the Nanzhou, Prince Mu had brought Loong Feng and Loong Yun to the Hundred-face Pavilion to retrieve Loong Yu's corpse. They had seen Jia Tianwei and Black Shadow Envoy there with their own eyes. Furthermore, they had exchanged blows many times. Therefore, the Emperor. . . It was a dereliction of duty, causing the Emperor to mistakenly think that the bandit leader had been captured. I plead the Emperor to punish me. " As he spoke, General Qu stood up and cupped his hands as he knelt on the ground.

"Is that so? So they are still free at this moment. General Qu, stand up and sit down first. I know about this matter and this is not your fault. It can only be said that Jia Tianwei and the rest are too cunning. Alright, this matter ends here. Don't mention it to anyone else. "

"Emperor, what do you mean?" The Emperor's reaction made General Qu at a loss. At this time, the Emperor did not have any expression. He was very calm, as if it was a very, very small matter.

"What I mean is to make a mistake. Jia Tianwei has already been sentenced and Black Shadow Envoy has been imprisoned. Everything has been settled and should be arrested and rewarded. The rebellion in Nanzhou has ended and there is no need to mention it anymore. All of you are officials who have done meritorious deeds and I will definitely reward you for your meritorious deeds. "

"But the Emperor. If that is the case, Jia Tianwei will be able to escape punishment. This person is ambitious and will sooner or later become a huge threat. This official thinks that it is best to get rid of him as soon as possible. " When General Qu heard this, he quickly gave his advice. It was obvious that the Emperor did not want to continue. Although he could not see anything in front of him, he was afraid that it would be a nightmare if this went on for too long.

"It's fine, Mr Qu. Now that Nanzhou has surrendered, his Hundred-face Pavilion is in the Western Region. Now that we don't have a backer, how big of a storm can a small sect cause? Even though our Great Ming has won many years of war, Human resources, financial resources, and material resources are all huge. What the Great Ming needs now is news of a complete victory. It needs to raise the morale of all the soldiers. They needed to raise the prestige of the Ming Dynasty so that those small countries that were eyeing us like tigers wouldn't dare to come and cause trouble again. Only then will we be able to rule for a long time. Do you understand? " The Emperor stood up and patted General Qu's shoulder as he spoke.

"But the Emperor, I feel that this is still somewhat inappropriate. " Although General Qu understood the Emperor's meaning, he still felt that it was somewhat inappropriate and wanted to fight for it again.

"Alright Mr Qu, I have my own decision on this matter. There is no need to discuss further. Let's go back and drink. " After saying that, he turned around and walked back to the main hall.

"Ai!" General Qu sighed and shook his head. He returned to the main hall and returned to his original seat.

"What did you say to the Emperor?" Princess Jinyu asked curiously when she saw the general return.

"This, the Emperor does not allow it to be said. If the Princess wants to know, she should go and find the Emperor. " General Qu smiled.

"Hmph, all of you are so secretive all day long. What's so great about it? If you don't want to say it, then don't. I am too lazy to know. Right, General Qu, did Mr Mu really catch a cold? If that's the case, I'll go and see him. "

" Reporting to the princess, the prince actually did not catch a cold. It's just that he feels that he is currently suffering from a crime and it is not appropriate for him to come here. Furthermore, the prince does not like this kind of occasion. "

"Un, I also feel that he shouldn't have caught a cold. "

"Princess, this official does not know whether to say something or not. " After hesitating for a while, General Qu said.

"Is it about Mr Mu? Just say what you want to say. "

"Then this official will say it. Although we have returned victorious this time, I believe the princess has also seen the attitude of the Emperor towards the prince. At this moment, Prince Mu's condition is no different from Lee Tianyu's in the past. "

"Sigh! This is also what I am worried about. I've been saying good things in front of Royal Brother for quite some time, but it doesn't seem to have much effect. " The princess sighed when she heard what General Qu said.

"Princess, but according to this official's analysis, the Emperor should not kill His Royal Highness this time. After all, His Royal Highness has performed meritorious deeds. These few years, his military exploits have been illustrious and he has also received the respect of many people. The Emperor cannot kill him just because of one failure. The greatest possibility is to demote him to a commoner. "

"Then what should we do?"

"That will depend on the Princess. May the Princess speak more about it in front of the Emperor. Even if she keeps Pingyun Prince's title, it will still be fine. Otherwise, Da Ming will lose another pillar of support. This is extremely disadvantageous to Da Ming. "

"Sigh! I wonder what happened to Royal Brother. In the past, he was so good to Mr Mu, just like brothers. But now, how did he become like this?! Royal Brother had really changed. Sometimes, even I don't know him anymore. " The princess shook her head helplessly.

"This is the Emperor's power. Lee Tianyu and the Emperor had grown up together for a longer period of time, but the result was the same. Didn't he also end up in the Pugilistic World. . . " When he said this, General Qu suddenly realized that he had said something and quickly shut his mouth and did not continue.
