Chapter 1929: Obstruction in every possible way
When these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in surprise, and at the same time felt that “it’s just as I expected!”
This feeling turned into a thousand kinds of feelings in my heart, and it was not very pleasant.
"My Lord, should we take a look at this matter first? After all, the capital is far away from Anze Prefecture, and it is hard to say what happened over there. If there are any omissions or deviations, and if the Lord is implicated, wouldn't it be..."
This statement was echoed and agreed by everyone.
"Yes, I also think we should be more cautious and meticulous!"
"...those people are trying their best to find fault with the prince. You have to be more careful at this time and you must not make any mistakes to get caught. Otherwise, it is hard to say what the consequences will be. You have to know that they are not the prince. They don't know what tolerance and mercy are."
“That’s absolutely right!”
“.…..”
The staff were discussing at once, and seeing the prince's thoughtful and conflicted expression, they became bolder, and the floor gradually became a little crooked.
"…..It's not that I have a mean heart, but this matter is really too strange! I speak directly and I have to speak my mind. The imperial court sent troops there that year, but they returned empty-handed. How long has it been since Lord Shao went there? How could it be that - this is too unbelievable! Ahem, this is just my personal doubt, and I am just saying it out to ask for your help. I have no other intentions, absolutely not!"
One stone caused a thousand ripples, and the discussion among the staff became more intense.
“Actually, I have the same doubts!”
"Me too! After ten years, the bandits have only grown stronger and more entrenched. Logically, they should be more difficult to deal with than they were ten years ago. Lord Shao solved the problem too smoothly. It seems fake!"
"Of course not. Lord Shao is a civil official, not a military officer who can march and fight!"
"I also find it incredible that I won so easily!"
"Is there any secret that we don't know? Sigh, we are too far away!"
"......Could it be that Lord Shao deliberately exaggerated in order to return to Beijing... Ahem, I just said that, you don't have to take it seriously! I also believe that Lord Shao is not that kind of person."
"That being said, it's hard to say what's going on. Besides, if he goes there, he might regret it..."
"Ah! Isn't this some kind of conspiracy? Someone deliberately planned this just to set a trap for the prince?"
“It’s hard to say…”
“…”
The prince frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.
He believed that Shao Yunduan was definitely not such a person, and would not let any incautious news reach the capital. Hearing everyone say this about him, he felt a little uncomfortable.
But, what if?
Moreover, it was hard to say whether it was really a trap set by someone, knowing that he wanted Shao Yunduan to return to Beijing and deliberately targeting him? If he used this as an excuse to request to transfer Shao Yunduan back, what if the merit was false or there was some problem? Then he would be blamed, and those brothers would definitely not give up easily...
Although the staff's words were a bit sharp and unpleasant, what they said was not entirely unreasonable.
More importantly, they are all thinking about themselves.
He couldn't help but appreciate this kindness.
"Forget it, you should think about this matter carefully again. Go back and find out more about it, ah!"
The prince sighed, feeling quite regretful.
