Chapter 2188: Too Much Bullying
The second prince felt extremely upset.
What else could he do? He could only nod his head and smile gratefully: "In that case, thank you for your hard work, uncle..."
General Sun laughed and waved his hand: "It is the duty of an old minister to be loyal to His Majesty! By the way, the conscription is easy for me to preside over personally, so Your Majesty does not need to worry. However, the logistics support of food and fodder, and the manufacture of weapons still require the full support of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War. Especially food and fodder, which must be given priority. After all, if we are hungry, we can't train, let alone fight!"
The second prince’s eyes went dark and he almost passed out!
This is too much!
"Uncle, don't worry..."
"With the emperor's words, this old minister is naturally relieved! This old minister will not bother the emperor! This old minister will definitely train the team well and will definitely take back the Qin Dynasty for the emperor! The emperor is the master of this world!"
The Second Prince finally felt relieved, and a smile appeared on his face: "I am deeply pleased that my uncle is so loyal!"
General Sun left with great satisfaction. The Second Prince slumped back on the dragon throne, staring blankly ahead with a blank mind.
He was very angry and furious, but completely powerless to resist.
What could he do? Ever since he ascended the throne, not only in the military, but also in the six ministries, most of them were occupied by officials from the Sun family.
Not to mention the local officials. Every time he conquered a place, his uncle would reappoint the local officials on the spot, and then order people to report to him and let him issue an edict to grant them the posts.
At the beginning, he was completely immersed in the cheers of "Long live the emperor" when he ascended the throne. He was obsessed with it, feeling elated and complacent.
By the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
Unless he broke off relations with the Sun family, he had no reason to oppose his uncle's decision.
But, can he break off relations with the Sun family? Impossible!
The second prince gritted his teeth and murmured coldly, "One day..."
In fact, he himself doesn’t know what will happen one day.
When Sun Pu learned that Shao Yunduan had been let off, he was not convinced and could not help but complain, "Dad, it's just a shabby place. As long as you lead the troops there yourself, it would only take a moment to capture the city. Why did you let him go? He humiliated me like this. He doesn't take the Sun family or the emperor seriously at all! If you let him off easily, won't he become even more arrogant!"
Sun Pu felt very ashamed after returning from the defeat, and the second prince scolded him after returning, which made him feel even more embarrassed. Moreover, he knew very well that after this incident, it would be almost impossible for him to lead the army alone.
In another two or three years, the gap between him and his brothers will become increasingly larger, and he will only be able to be a nobleman who lives a life of idleness and waits for death.
How can you be willing to watch others achieve success and hold power?
He didn't think he was incompetent, but he hated Shao Yunduan for blocking his way.
If Shao Yunduan had not been so despicable and shameless as to plot and deceive him, he would definitely not be facing this situation now. If he didn't kill Shao Yunduan, he would feel like a thorn in his throat.
He had finally waited for his father to come back, and he was eagerly waiting for his father to come out and avenge him, but he didn't expect his father to say "Forget it!"
"It must be the emperor, right? The emperor is also confused. Is he still thinking about recruiting Shao Yunduan? Oh, he is dreaming. Since Shao Yunduan has rebelled, how could he accept to be recruited!"
