The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4487 Qin Yun Tests

Qin Yun couldn't hide the anger in his heart. He took a long breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked seriously.

"Emperor Qin, I want to ask you, do you still remember the rumors that spread in the palace three years ago? It was because of this that Elder Feng retired to the Imperial Astronomical Department and did not go out to fight for three years. The soldiers were even more panicked and almost formed a confrontation."

The Emperor of Qin was startled when he heard this, and replied with a guilty conscience: "I dare not forget. After Master Feng left, the morale of the soldiers was broken for a long time, and I was also suffering day and night. Master Feng was the teacher I respected the most, so I naturally didn't want him to leave. How could I forget the reason why I let the teacher leave?"

The Qin Emperor's words were flawless, and he expressed his respect for Mr. Feng and his influence on the front line.

If it weren't for the testimony of the soldiers, these heartfelt words would really make Qin Yun look at him with new eyes, marveling at his changes, and realizing that he had become much more mature and stable.

But all this is based on the premise that this incident was not done by the Qin Emperor.

Listening to it again now, Qin Yun just felt sick. Emperor Qin, as a prince, was so hypocritical that he even excluded the teacher who taught him everything for his own selfish desires and provoked confrontation between the two armies. He deserved to be punished.

Hearing Emperor Qin's words, Qin Yun chuckled to himself: "How can such words come out of your mouth? You keep saying that you are the most respected teacher, but how do you do it?"

Emperor Qin swallowed subconsciously and said, "Father, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."

"Are you still going to play dumb?" Qin Yun suddenly slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Since I have summoned you back overnight, I want your attitude, but now it seems that you don't realize your mistake at all!"

"Father, I really don't understand." Emperor Qin said puzzledly.

Even after saying this, Emperor Qin was still stubborn and showed no sign of repentance.

It seemed as if he had expected that these soldiers would not betray him, and that Qin Yun was just testing him at this moment. If he backed down, he would be truly finished.

Qin Yun was immediately furious and asked sternly, "Emperor Qin! Do you think that just by hinting, people won't understand what you mean and that you can put all the blame on others? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!"

Ding Yi, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer and stood up to say something fair: "Prince, it has come to this, you might as well admit your mistakes and beg for forgiveness from His Majesty."

Hearing this, Emperor Qin simply ignored Qin Yun's questioning, and suddenly turned to look at Ding Yi in anger.

Then he pointed at his nose and shouted angrily: "Who do you think you are! Do you have the right to speak here? This prince is talking to his father. If you interrupt again, I will immediately expel you from the border of Daxia!"

This move just proved the Qin Emperor's guilty conscience and confirmed his ambition and his familiar position as a dictator in the military.

What he didn't know was that Ding Yi had never been abandoned by Qin Yun. Instead, he was given the important task of infiltrating the group of soldiers. Ding Yi had always held a prominent position in the court and even served as the deputy commander of the Xuanhuang Army. He made great contributions to the conquest of the extremely cold zone. With Qin Yun's temper, how could he bury such a talent?

After being retorted by Emperor Qin, Ding Yi was speechless for a moment and retreated with a bit of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Qin Yun was furious: "Emperor Qin! Is this your attitude towards the soldiers below? Do you know that Ding Yi fought everywhere under my command, broke through the extremely cold zone, and comprehended the way to control beasts. Phosphorus Fire has played a vital role!"

"So what?" Emperor Qin asked back, "He is just a commoner now. As a prince, how can I be easily provoked by him?" Qin Yun laughed in anger. The prince in front of him was far more ignorant than he had imagined, which exceeded his expectations.

"Emperor Qin, it seems that you will not give up until you see the coffin, and will not cry until you see the Yellow River. In this case, I will ask the soldiers to tell us what you have done in the past three years of commanding the army!"

As he spoke, Qin Yun looked at the soldiers beside him and said earnestly, "With me here, you can speak freely."

When their eyes met, a hint of hesitation flashed in the soldier's eyes, but he soon realized that His Majesty was determined to eliminate dissidents and would definitely not have any scruples because of his status as a prince of Emperor Qin.

Since even His Majesty has held them accountable in public, they should stand up as witnesses and speak out about the grievances they have suffered over the years.

Soon the soldiers made up their minds, stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, three years ago, it was the Emperor Qin's son who hinted at it. He boasted about your Majesty's teachings in the army every day and belittled Elder Feng and Prince Qin Rui. Many soldiers who didn't know the situation spread the rumor, and I was one of them." "And during the three years when Elder Feng was away, the Emperor Qin was a dictator, holding all power in the army tightly, without any human touch. Whether it was a war or daily training, he never stopped commenting, causing panic in the army and everyone was cowardly!"

Before the general could finish his words, the Emperor of Qin interrupted him: "Father, he is talking nonsense! I have never done these things. I deny them!"

Qin Yun remained silent, but his eyes were intimidating. The strong sense of oppression made Emperor Qin feel like there was something stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say the words when they came to his lips.

"You continue." Qin Yun waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to continue.

The soldier did not hesitate at all and continued, "Your Majesty, the most important thing is that in order to prevent Feng Lao from returning, the Qin Emperor has been instilling an idea in the soldiers for three years. That is, Feng Lao used the excuse of leaving to actually have no status in the court and was ordered by Your Majesty to return!"

The fig leaf of the Qin Emperor's Cliff Palace army was completely torn apart by the soldiers. He never expected that the soldiers would betray him so bluntly. His three years of hard work would be wasted at this moment. He found it hard to accept all this.

He lost control of his emotions and pointed at the soldiers' noses and shouted angrily: "Hasn't this prince been good enough to you in the past three years? Why are you slandering this prince, you bunch of rubbish!"

Qin Yun's patience was exhausted, and he immediately summoned the Ancient Xuanhuang Tower, hanging it high above Emperor Qin's head.

The overwhelming pressure made him dare not even breathe: "Father...Father, what do you mean? Are you willing to believe the one-sided words of these soldiers instead of believing what your son says from the bottom of his heart?"

"At this point, you are still making trouble and are unaware of your mistakes. I am very disappointed in you." Qin Yun said.

"But father," Emperor Qin said anxiously, "I have never done these things. In the past three years when my master was away, I have been working diligently to expand the territory of Daxia and conquer small and medium-sized sects. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard. If you want to accuse me, you can always find excuses." Seeing Emperor Qin throwing a tantrum, Qin Yun looked at Ding Yi and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry that I have wronged you in the army for the past three years. Tell me what you have seen and heard."
