Chapter 678: Imperial EdictChapter 1520: Counterbalance
Li Songru stood calmly in place, facing the hostile stares of the crowd. He did not rush to defend himself or refute their accusations.
As if they weren't talking about him at all.
King Ning let out a cold laugh and said, “If you really dare, will Li Songru still be able to keep you in check Don't you think I know when you started listening to him so readily”
"Your Majesty sees, Li Songru is holding you back, not letting you come forward. Not only is he not wrong, but he has also done well!"
"You've all surely forgotten how I instructed you before deploying troops. You treated my words as mere wind, and now you've gone to provoke the Crown Prince! Dying is what you deserve!"
Ning Wang's words directly stated his attitude, supporting Li Songru and characterizing the incident as a disaster caused by Ye Wang disobeying his orders.
that's what he/she gets.
In fact, everyone knows that while the King of Ning said not to provoke the Crown Prince, he also implied that the Crown Prince should be given a taste of his power, a warning.
But the attempt backfired, costing Ye Wang his life.
As for this matter, it can be attributed to King Ning's fault.
Can the King of Ning be wrong
No.
Among the Eighteen Riders of Yan and Yun, King Ning is always right, he is supreme.
So all these thoughts, can only be pressed deep down in my heart.
No one dared to speak the truth at this critical juncture.
King Ning let out a cold snort and looked at Li Songru, saying: "Li Songru, you've done well this time. This king is very satisfied."
Li Songru bowed respectfully and said, “Everything is due to the teachings of Your Highness. I have only acted according to Your Highness's orders and there is no credit to be claimed. Any achievements are all thanks to Your Highness.”
"Your temper remains the same. Even in times of peace, otherwise, there are burdens this king could entrust to you again."
Li Songru smiled wryly.
How could someone as foolish as Ye Wang be a deputy general in the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry, equal to his superior
... because he is at odds with himself. ...
Both of them were under the rule of only one King Ning.
In other words, why was he able to stand on equal footing with Ye Wang, even though most of the generals of Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry disliked him
This is also because the two people above them have a King Ning.
Under the system of checks and balances, only King Ning himself could truly command the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders.
Therefore, I cannot take on any more burdens.
Taking on more responsibility is taking on more power.
Impossible.
Otherwise, given King Ning's temperament, that chattering Iron Pagoda Commander would have already been dragged out and beheaded.
"As expected, King Ning said again: 'Although Ye Wang is dead, Tie Futuo cannot be leaderless for a day. Wu Yong, you will temporarily lead Tie Futuo.'"
The general, who had been grumbling incessantly, was taken aback upon hearing this. Then, his face lit up with joy, and all traces of complaint vanished. Before the envious gazes of onlookers, he knelt down and expressed his gratitude: "My humble self thanks Your Highness! My life belongs to You, Your Highness. I will readily plunge into boiling water or fire for you!"
The Prince doesn't even bother to listen.
Choosing Wu Yong is also a temporary expediency. He knows very well that Wu Yong would definitely not be Li Songru's opponent.
He will inevitably have to find someone who can challenge Li Songru again, otherwise he won't feel at ease.
Right now, I don't have the time to carefully select candidates.
Taking a deep breath, King Ning said solemnly, "There is one more thing I need to tell you all today."
Upon hearing this, the numerous generals were all invigorated, knowing that the next words from Prince Ning would surely be of great importance.ds, Yelü Shenxuan suddenly raised his leg and kicked the already rotten and fragile head of Yelü Qiming, crushing it into a puddle of blood.It goes without saying that everyone knows Yelu Qiming is th...
