Chapter 386: If you don’t kill, you will be imprisoned
"They are indeed not ordinary bandits. They are the remnants of the former prince. They are recruiting powerful people in the southern region and have been reported to be plotting a rebellion."
"Is the evidence conclusive?"
Dean Chen shook his head. "The guard who delivered the urgent report said that a large number of dead men and weapons were found in the mountains to the south. Their clothes and weapons all bore the totems of the former prince's palace."
Ye Qianning only knew that Emperor Beili had also experienced a struggle for the throne among six princes, and that two princes had conspired to almost inherit the throne.
She was not very clear about how to turn the tide. She had done a lot of research on the current generation, but she was not very clear about the previous generation.
However, just as my father was about to resign, urgent news arrived, indicating that something was wrong.
"Why did Dad agree to go south?"
"The guards who reported back said that the leader of the assassins was named Chen Fo. Chen Fo and your father had a deep friendship. When the enemy attacked the border, it was Chen Fo who stood up to block a sword for your father and was captured by the enemy. He was dragged from behind a horse and his body was thrown into a mass grave. Your father could never let it go because of this. When he suddenly heard that Chen Fo was still alive, how could he sit still?" Dean Chen knew a lot about Xiang Minghou's affairs.
No matter how Ye Qianning thought about it, he felt it was strange: "Are you sure?"
"Their figures and appearances are very similar, and your father wanted to confirm it himself, so he agreed to go south as deputy commander."
"Deputy Commander? Who's the Commander?"
Ye Qianning was very surprised when he heard what happened before. He was even more surprised when he heard that it was the deputy commander. No wonder someone was urging his father.
"He's the son of Grand Tutor Zhang, a new military commander from last year. Don't worry, he's a decent man."
Ye Qianning knew something about Master Zhang, and he was a good person. She felt relieved that his son was the commander-in-chief. She was afraid of the kind of villain who would take advantage of others and use chicken feathers as a token of authority.
"Your father has fought on the battlefield for many years and is very capable. You don't need to worry too much." Dean Chen could see that the little girl was worried.
"Well, Master, do you think the Emperor would kill Dad if he really resigned?"
Ye Qianning was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that Emperor Beili would secretly have some bad intentions.
Dean Chen thought for a moment and shook his head: "The Emperor values talent. There are not many young and brave warriors. If someone disobeys the Emperor's will, as long as it is not treason, the Emperor will not kill him, but he will punish him severely."
Ye Qianning's heart finally settled down a little. Her master knew Emperor Beili better than she did. The emperor might take this opportunity to dissuade her father from resigning.
"Even if your father resigns, the emperor will either kill him or imprison him." Even if he resigns, he cannot leave Kyoto.
If he really left Kyoto, the emperor's heart would be different.
Ye Qianning finally understood that it was not easy to live the life of an ordinary citizen. After all, the general knew everything about Beili. If he revealed it to other countries, the consequences would be disastrous.
It is not impossible to resign, but the person must be under your supervision.
"The situation is constantly changing. It's beyond the control of a little girl like you. At your age, it's time for you to have fun." Dean Chen was really afraid that the girl would worry too much and become sick from the stress.
"Master, shouldn't you let me read more books?"
"Do you still need to see?"
"Of course. Master has almost learned simplified Chinese characters, but I haven't even started learning traditional Chinese characters yet." Although Ye Qianning has a photographic memory and can recognize characters, he is useless when it comes to writing them down.
"Eighth Prince, Qian Zhuye, even Gao Qi's writing is good, but yours is a mess. I don't think you have the talent to become a master of writing. It's okay if your handwriting is just passable." Dean Chen did not force it.
