Chapter 2033 Chilled
How can I do this? I fought hard to survive on the battlefield, but I lost my life under the emperor's butcher knife. Why bother?
What the court didn't know was that the Northwest Army had once secretly rescued General Zhao.
In fact, General Zhao's grandson was also rescued. But God did not bless the good people. The young master of the Zhao family suffered too much pain and fright in prison, and died of illness not long after.
After he died of illness, General Zhao was heartbroken and left silently. No one knew where he went since then.
No one from the Northwestern Army ever saw him again.
Even though General Zhao and the Zhao family were rehabilitated later, General Zhao never appeared again.
At that time, everyone knew that General Zhao must have passed away! Otherwise, he would have appeared, even for the sake of the wronged souls of the Zhao family.
The Northwest Army sent people back to Beijing to bury and commemorate the Zhao family. The palace also sent people to the scene. The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced eunuch in the palace was arrogant and looked down on the Northwest Army representatives with eyes full of contempt.
When he spoke, he showed no respect for General Zhao and the Zhao family. Instead, he kept saying, "The Zhao family got a great deal!" and "The emperor has given such a great favor to the Zhao family. The Zhao family should be grateful for the emperor's grace even in the afterlife and bless the Qin Dynasty to last forever."
The representatives of the Northwest Army were all extremely angry. Some of them with bad tempers would have lost their temper on the spot if someone hadn't held them back.
After that, the Northwest Army became even more dissatisfied with the imperial court and even more disappointed with the royal family.
They guarded the northwestern frontier not for the royal family, but for the old general's will.
Unless the imperial court says one day that they are no longer needed, they will continue to guard the place. However, as for how loyal they are to the imperial court and the emperor, the answer is no.
Now that the late emperor has passed away, and his body is still warm, the three princes and the eldest grandson are fighting fiercely for the uncertain throne. The Northwest Army is watching coldly, cursing them for what they deserve, gloating over their misfortune and despising them at the same time.
The Qin imperial family is really rotten!
Now the Fourth Prince wants to use them as tools to fight for power and profit, how is that possible? What a sweet dream he is having!
No matter how the royal family fights for power, it has nothing to do with the Northwest Army, and the Northwest Army will not help anyone.
The Northwest Army declined with good reasons and the Fourth Prince was certainly angry and dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.
Not to mention the future, right now he didn't dare to touch the Northwest Army, and he didn't even dare to speak to them harshly, for fear that if he angered those impulsive and rude men, they would defect to others impulsively. What would he do?
The fourth prince had no choice but to comfort himself and forcefully save his dignity: In any case, the Northwest Army responded to him politely, didn't it? This shows that the Northwest Army actually recognized him as their master.
They really can't leave.
The news of the civil strife in the Qin Dynasty could not be concealed. Qingdi, Beihu and others might have known about it. Qingdi was fine in recent years, but Beihu might really have some ideas and do something. The Northwest Army really couldn't leave, couldn't leave.
The Fourth Prince then sent another imperial edict to the Northwestern Army, consoling them with kind words and ordering them to always be vigilant against the Northern Hu and Qingdi and to guard the northern border with due diligence.
The Northwestern Army was too lazy to respond to him.
No matter how hard the Fourth Prince tries to save his reputation by making excuses, it cannot change the fact that his attempt to dispatch the Northwest Army was rejected.
