The father-in-law looked at Jiang Wei and widened his eyes.
"You, you, you! You are simply crazy! Jiang Wei, are you crazy!? Do you know who I am? Do you know whose imperial decree this is!?"
Jiang Wei pointed his finger towards the city gate, without even any expression on his face, he just spoke in a cold voice.
"Father-in-law, please!"
The father-in-law's face was extremely ugly. He looked at Jiang Wei and found him ridiculous.
"Okay, General Jiang, if you had received this imperial edict today, you would still have some room for maneuver. You know how many ministers were moved by the way Elder Jiang pleaded for you in the court today. But now you are out there like this. I don't know how many people will be disappointed!"
Jiang Wei still had no expression on his face and his back was straight.
The father-in-law said nothing, turned around and went back, feeling that his expression was extremely ugly.
The news quickly spread throughout the city, and everyone felt a little uneasy about it.
"Could it be that the young General Jiang we have been praising is really the kind of person who does not respect the emperor? He actually did such a stupid thing. How can the order of this country continue to be maintained?"
"That's not what he said. If he really meant it, Jiang Wei must have his own reasons. He was killing enemies outside and was so gentle to the people outside. How could a person like him be bad to us?"
"There may be some hidden secrets behind this matter. It may be that some people here have some problems. Who knows if there is someone behind this? "
Everyone was talking at once, but everyone had the same idea. They all felt that this might not be the case. At least no one wanted Jiang Wei to die. To everyone, Jiang Wei was really a very special person.
A good general who serves the country and the people, everyone is not a fool, everyone knows that it is because of his existence that the country has not fallen into the situation of foreign invasion.
The emperor called Xie Zhaoan and the prince to the imperial study to discuss matters.
"Today's incident has caused a lot of uproar. I think you two must have heard about it. What do you two think of today's incident?"
The prince spoke almost without thinking.
"The order and rules of the dynasty have been passed down from generation to generation. Today, even though my grandfather and others are here, the rule of not bringing armor into the city cannot be changed. The rules are set here to let people know how they should behave. And that person broke the rules even though he knew there were such rules. His wolfish ambition is obvious. Father, if this person is not severely punished, I am afraid that many problems will arise in the future. Who knows, it may even endanger the rules of the entire dynasty."
"Isn't what His Royal Highness said a bit too much? Who knows what the real situation is? Just because General Jiang did not take off his armor, he blamed the matter so highly. It is inevitable that His Royal Highness was already dissatisfied with this person and reported it to His Majesty at this time."
The prince narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Zhaoan, wondering in his heart what to do. Xie Zhaoan was getting in the way everywhere. Now in the court, everything was very clear. Most people in the court were divided into two groups, one was the prince's party, and the other was Xie Zhaoan's people.
From this perspective, Xie Zhaoan turned out to be the most serious setback on his road to becoming the emperor. It was ridiculous to think about it.
"Xie Zhaoan, do you know what you are doing? You are speaking for a guilty minister, and now he is defying your will. How do you explain what happened today?"
"I don't know how to explain, but Your Highness the Crown Prince should know that the reason why Jiang Wei did this was for Shen Xining. Shen Xining was captured, and the two of them grew up together since childhood. How could Jiang Wei watch Shen Xining die without helping? He also said today that it's not that he doesn't want to accept the order, but he wants to know whether Shen Xining is safe now before accepting the order."
The prince gnashed his back teeth, and the emperor glared at Xie Zhaoan fiercely. It was obvious that he was preparing to find an excuse to deal with Jiang Wei today, but every word Xie Zhaoan said was to the point, and every word was so exaggerated. In this case, how could the emperor have any legitimate reason to deal with Jiang Wei
"Well, if that's the case, this matter will be handed over to you two to handle together. You two can think about how to properly handle this matter."
After the emperor finished speaking, he went back to his palace with a not very happy look on his face. The eunuch beside him quickly supported him, and he waved his hands.
"Recently, I feel that my health is getting worse and worse. Could it be that the problem is with that pill? Wasn't it very effective before? Why is it becoming less and less effective now? Go ask that famous doctor what's going on?"
"Yes, I will go right away."
At this time, outside the imperial study, the prince and Xie Zhaoan were walking slowly out. The prince looked at Xie Zhaoan, pursed his lips and smiled.
"Fourth brother is quite capable. I didn't realize that you are such a sharp-tongued person before, but now I have seen it. What you said in the imperial study just now really opened my eyes. I believe that you have already thought of a plan to deal with today's incident, right?"
"I will follow your brother's arrangements. I was just putting forward my own opinions today. I never thought that I would make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so unhappy. I think I didn't do my job properly."
Oh.
Play the pig and eat the tiger.
The prince glanced at Xie Zhaoan, too lazy to talk to him any more, and walked out of the palace.
Xie Zhaoan stood there, listening to the eunuch hurriedly looking for the miracle doctor, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Later, he entered the palace, wearing dark clothes, but the patterns embroidered on the clothes showed that he was of noble status. He looked at the emperor who was lying on the bed and was dying, and smiled.
"I heard that Father is looking for that miracle doctor. He has been looking for an entire afternoon and has not yet seen the miracle doctor, so I came to see Father specially."
The emperor pointed his finger at Xie Zhaoan, his eyes full of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that he was the one who did it. He couldn't believe that the miracle doctor whom he trusted so much would actually harm his life.
"How did you find that miracle doctor? How did that miracle doctor save my life? A few days ago, my energy and spirit really improved a lot. I don't believe this is a lie!"
