The happiness of fast-wearing female supporting roles, I call the shots

Chapter 769 Hello, Cold General! (ten)

Even if the crown prince trusts him quite a bit, His Majesty will not rest assured of him now, so once the war stops, what awaits him will most likely be the suspicion of the royal family.

If Xiang Dongyi was the kind of person who valued power, he might have left a way out for himself, or made the royal family afraid to take action against him, or he might have simply blackmailed the emperor to order the princes.

But he is not!

For Xiang Dongyi, fame and fortune are just external things. He prefers a quiet life rather than fighting with others all day long.

After Prince Sikongyan received Xiang Dongyi's letter, he was surprised for a while, and then became anxious, wishing to arrest him immediately and reprimand him.

Si Kongyan admits that when he trusts Xiang Dongyi, he will subconsciously take precautions against him, because Xiang Dongxiang is so ambitious that he can command the soldiers even without a soldier talisman.

Regarding the existence of this Dongyi, it would be a lie to say that he is not afraid at all, but Sikong Yan also understands that apart from Xiang Dongyi, there is no other general who can convince the crowd.

Moreover, he was very reassured about Xiang Dongyi's character. Xiang Dongyi had never been a person who was greedy for merit. Regarding this, Sikong Yan felt reassured about him, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

After all, is there really anyone who is indifferent to power?
People always like to subconsciously think from their own standpoint, because Si Kongyan himself likes power, and also subconsciously believes that there is no man who does not love power.

So even if Xiang Dongyi usually behaves very indifferent to fame and fortune, Sikong Yan will still be a little suspicious of him, worrying that they will turn against each other one day.

To be honest, Sikong Yan really didn't want to be an enemy of Xiang Dongyi, because he was too scary.

At the same time, Xiang Dongyi is a trustworthy friend, and their usual relationship can be regarded as the existence of both a minister and a friend.

However, although Si Kongyan had always been a little jealous of Xiang Dongyi, but seeing the contents of the letter now, he had no idea, he just wanted to keep him.

Sikong Yan knew that once Xiang Dongyi stopped helping him, he would definitely not be so relaxed, and his brothers would be ready to take action because of this.

As long as his father is still alive, everything is fine. Once something happens to his father, how can his brothers not be moved by that chair?

But it's different with Xiang Dongyi here. Just because Xiang Dongyi is in the army and has a high reputation among the people, as long as he is willing to stand by his side all the time, he will be safe and sound.

On the contrary, his position as the crown prince is at stake, so Sikong Yan always reminded himself that he must treat Xiang Dongyi with sincerity and must not offend him.

It can be said that Prince Sikongyan's perception of Xiang Dongyi is very complicated, and he is in a kind of dependence on him, but he has to be afraid of him.

But if Xiang Dongyi knew what Sikong Yan was thinking, he would definitely sneer. If he really had that ambition, he would have turned his back on it a long time ago, so why wait until now?

Xiang Dongyi has never been the one who follows the rules. He prefers to do things according to his own will, just like this incident.

Just because his intuition told him that it was time to go home, so he thought of resigning, and he was the kind who had no nostalgia for his current status.

Of course, it's impossible to say that he doesn't miss the soldiers under his opponent at all. People are not grass, how can they be ruthless?
It's just that people have joys and sorrows, even if they are reluctant, there will always be a day to say goodbye. He has been 'trapped' in this place for long enough, and it is time to leave.

Half a month later, as expected by Xiang Dongyi, the emperor recalled him back to the capital for the reason of going to the capital to face saints.

Xiang Dongyi did not refuse, and led all the soldiers to persuade and worry him, and entered Beijing alone.

While in person, the emperor asked him privately if he would marry his favorite daughter, the fifth princess. Xiang Dongyi knew that this so-called marriage was just a bargaining chip used by the emperor to contain him.

But Xiang Dongyi was naturally unwilling. He stated very "sincerely" that he had no intention of marrying a wife at the moment, and that as a reckless man, he was really not worthy of a princess with golden branches and jade leaves.

Later, before the emperor lost his temper, he handed over the military talisman and stated that he had been away from home for many years and missed his old mother very much. He hoped to return home to fulfill his filial piety, so he asked to be discharged and returned to his field.

The emperor never expected that he would come up with this move, let alone that Xiang Dongyi would hand over the Tiger Talisman so neatly and neatly. This made the emperor feel a little ashamed and secretly thought that he was really overthinking.

The emperor was naturally very satisfied with Xiang Dongyi's knowledge, and he didn't care about his refusal to marry, but he tried his best to detain him for resigning.

After all, for the emperor, someone always needs to be in charge of the army, and a capable and knowledgeable minister like Xiang Dongyi is naturally the most suitable.

But Xiang Dongyi still insisted on resigning, but he also took the initiative to express that once His Majesty needs him, he can come back to serve him at any time.

The emperor heard what Xiang Dongyi said, so he couldn't ask for anything more to keep him, lest he stay and stay and stay for revenge. He didn't forget that under Xiang Dongyi's handsome appearance, there was a terrifying god of killing.

Note: Since it is impossible for Xiang Dongyi to wear a mask when facing the saint, the emperor naturally saw his true face. Regarding Xiang Dongyi's appearance, even the emperor had to praise Xiang Dongyi for his good looks.

Although the emperor did not approve Xiang Dongyi's resignation in the end, he agreed to let him go home, but he still retained his military post.

It's just that in the future, if he is not specifically called back to Beijing, the general's job will be nothing more than a false job, and Xiang Dongyi has no dissatisfaction with this.

For him, it doesn't matter whether he retains his position or not. Anyway, it's just a name left empty. Whether he should be called back in the future is not a word from the emperor?

In this era, whether as a courtier or a commoner, he is not qualified to refuse the emperor's request, unless he intends to rebel.

However, before Xiang Dongyi returned to his hometown, he still went to see his wife Sikong Yan. Sikong Yan asked him solemnly: "Why?"

"The reason is that I have already told His Highness that His Highness should understand that I will not easily change what I have decided. However, His Highness may speak up if there is a need for His Majesty in the future. Of course, the premise is that there is an order from His Majesty."

Xiang Dongyi replied very bluntly, and made a promise, but as a military commander, whether in the past or now, he cannot return to Beijing at will without an order.

So there is nothing wrong with Xiang Dongyi's last sentence.

Prince Sikong Yan couldn't help but fell silent after hearing his words. Indeed, he knew Xiang Dongyi, and his decision would not be changed easily.

What's more, he has already received the news that his father has agreed to Xiang Dongyi's return to his hometown, and Xiang Dongyi has also handed over the tiger charm.
