As soon as everyone's voices fell, Ye Shihan said directly:
"Back to Your Majesty, I finally feel unwell. I am afraid that I will not be fit to go on another expedition in the future. I would like to go home and rest. Please allow Your Majesty's permission."
He said these words out of time, and the emperor looked at him in astonishment.
"What do you mean? Do you mean that you no longer want to serve the country?"
"I don't dare. I am really too tired. I am physically and mentally exhausted. I have no intention of fighting. I just want to rest."
But his stern expression was obviously telling the emperor that he no longer wanted to be this general.
The emperor's happy expression just now turned ugly because of his words. He gritted his teeth and repeated word by word,
"You mean you don't want to fight for your country anymore?"
"Yes." Ye Shihan replied seriously.
Hearing this, the emperor suddenly looked at him with sharp eyes and his voice became sharp,
"Hmph! I give you two choices, either continue to be your general and your prince; or become an ordinary citizen, cancel all the treatment of the prince, and take back the prince's palace. From now on, you will fend for yourself. I will give you three
You have a few days to think about it, and come back to me after you think about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shihan said directly:
"You don't have to wait three days, I have already thought about it."
Hearing what he said, the emperor had probably guessed three or four points. He squinted at him and gritted his teeth and asked:
"You want to be an ordinary citizen?"
Ye Shihan lowered his eyebrows and cupped his fists and said: "Exactly, these years I have been tired of the life of fighting on the battlefield. It is also my wish to be an ordinary citizen. Please grant it to the emperor."
As soon as he said these words, the emperor's face suddenly turned cold. He clenched his fists and looked at him bitterly,
"No wonder your mother-in-law said that you were obsessed with that woman. It seems that it is true. I think you are also crazy, crazy."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and roared at him,
"Don't you just want to be an ordinary citizen? Okay, now take off your official clothes, hand over your official seal, and move out of the prince's palace. It's best to get out of the capital and never set foot in the imperial city from now on."
The emperor was really angry and threw the most hateful words at him. He felt that this Ye Shihan was just having a bad temper. When he knew the sufferings of ordinary people's lives, he would come back on his own initiative.
Ye Shihan knelt on his knees, bowed to the emperor three times, then took off the general's hat on his head, stood up again, took off the general's uniform, placed it gently on the ground, slowly stepped back a few steps, and left the crowd.
, turned and left.
His operation made all the lieutenants present confused and confused, and the emperor turned pale with anger.
Looking at his leaving figure, he clenched his fists and asked angrily:
"Did anything happen to him in the past three years in Northern Xinjiang? Or did he meet anyone?"
Several deputy generals stood aside and looked at each other, and then someone replied:
"Back to the emperor, a woman from the Su family once came to the military camp, stayed in the camp for one night, and took away a stupid man named Su."
A woman from the Su family?
The emperor's brows instantly frowned, "Is the woman named Su called Su Mu'er?"
"It seems, with a child named Doudou and a young girl."
"That's right, it seems that his soul has been seduced by that woman."
Thinking of this, he quickly walked away and went to the Queen Mother's palace.
In the past few years since Ye Shihan left, the concubine often went to the palace to stay for a period of time. This time when she knew that Ye Shihan was coming back, she naturally came to the palace early to wait for her son.
But she didn't expect that what she was waiting for was the news that his son was going to become a commoner.
Ye Shihan knelt down in front of her, his eyes full of coldness. He knew that he could no longer be used by the emperor. The reason why his attitude was so resolute was because he heard about Xiao Mo's death when he returned to the city.
information.
A man with great military exploits like Xiao Mo would be imprisoned in a prison for a trivial matter and die of depression in the prison. This shows that this emperor may do something.
In addition, he was really afraid that when Su Muer rebelled, the emperor would send him to fight the enemy. It would be impossible for him to fight her, so it was better to end it all early to gain peace of mind.
But the concubine didn't think so. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him, with anger flashing in her eyes.
"I have been waiting for you for three years, and you told me this when you came back. Do you really have me as your mother-in-law in your heart? Have you ever thought about your mother-in-law before making this decision?"
Ye Shihan had a wry smile on his lips,
"I just thought too much about my concubine, which is why today's result happened. Everyone's death now is because of my concubine's frame-up of Su Mu'er. Do you want your own son to be forced to death by your concubine?
"
"You're talking nonsense."
Hearing what he said, the concubine's face suddenly became distorted.
Ye Shihan said softly and unhurriedly,
"If the concubine hadn't framed Su Mu'er in the first place, she wouldn't have left the capital. If she hadn't left the capital, maybe she could have avoided Su Yuanmin's death and her mother's death;"
"If she had not left the capital, she would not have gone to Jitou Mountain by mistake, and would not have become a bandit. She would not have known the prince and princess of Guning Kingdom, and she would not have been labeled as a conspiracy by the emperor.
The charge of treason;”
"If all this had not happened, the emperor would not have sent Xiao Mo to suppress the bandits. If Xiao Mo had not gone to suppress the bandits, he would not have died when he came back."
"If she had not become a bandit, the emperor would not have ordered the Su family to suffer such inhuman treatment in northern Xinjiang, so that there was no one else in the Su family except a lunatic. And the reason for all this is
On your body, concubine."
The last sentence he said was particularly serious, and he almost used all his strength to say it.
After hearing these words, the concubine's body kept trembling, and she suddenly shook her head vigorously,
"No, I just don't want her to harm you. I have nothing to do with the death of the other people. Don't frame your mother and concubine, you unfilial son."
The concubine's already old face turned pale because of anger. Ye Shihan suddenly sneered,
"Since my concubine thinks you are right, you are right. However, I cannot continue to be wrong. Please forgive me for my unfilial piety."
After saying that, he stood up directly and walked towards the door without looking back.
"Han'er..."
The Queen Mother suddenly shouted from behind, but he seemed not to hear her and went straight out of the door.
Liu Hai was standing at the door, holding the horse and watching him,
"Sir, I'll go with you."
Ye Shihan waved his hand directly, "No need. If you follow the emperor, you may become a general or be reused in the future, but following me will be useless and you won't even be able to eat."
"Son."
Liu Hai suddenly called him anxiously,
"I have followed the Young Master for many years. If the Young Master is unwilling to stay, there is no need for me to stay. Even if it means death, I will follow the Young Master."
Hearing what he said, Ye Shihan suddenly raised his eyes,
"Okay, then please tell me clearly about the letter first."
"Sir, I've already checked it out."
After saying that, he quickly walked to the door and pulled out a person from a corner.
