Prince Dongfang was defeated first and bowed respectfully, saying:
"Your Majesty, I am a military general and I go straight. Please forgive me for being reckless."
After saying that, he stood up again, expressed his attitude, and insisted on his strength. This play is great.
Xia Houlinan raised his eyebrows, but there was no sign of sadness or joy. He nodded and responded lightly, but his eyebrows relaxed a little, and he said calmly:
"The Dongfang family has been a heroic general for generations, guarding the border, and has made great contributions."
Prince Dongfang lowered his shoulders slightly. It seemed that there was still more talk to be had today.
He quickly responded:
"It's all thanks to God to protect me. The Emperor of Wu Kingdom and the Emperor of Jiangshan led me to the Dongfang family. But if there is an errand, I will run for my life."
Having said that, the rest of the story is much easier to say.
The monarch and his minister looked directly at those two things. They both knew each other.
Xiahou Lin'an said directly:
"There is a place on Aiqing's fiefdom. If you occasionally encounter these two things and point them out, I'm afraid...someone will think that Aiqing is framed to frame Aiqing. Or, is someone framed to frame Aiqing?"
The light tone, listening to it, makes people feel unclear.
If this matter is revealed, both of the above explanations are reasonable. The key is who has the strongest fist between the speaker and the person being talked about.
As a military general, the Dongfang family no longer has much right to act arrogantly when they only have a few hundred thousand actual troops left.
No one is a fool. When hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses disappear, you can guess the whereabouts of such a large number of people and horses.
Xiahou Lin'an was able to kill so many of his troops in a few months, which shows his ability.
Since we don't have the absolute strength to fight now, it's better to surrender as soon as possible. Maybe, we can still have a chance.
Xiahou Lin'an's words just now made it clear that some of the roots of the Dongfang Sect might still remain.
Now, instead of having a chaotic fight with the Wenren family and arguing about who framed whom, it would be better to stand beside Xiahou Lin'an. Only this person in charge can blame others with confidence.
Now that the evidence is conclusive, you can really do whatever you want with them.
