Chapter 1175: Unwillingness

“Thank you Dad, thank you Mom!” Chou Fu nodded before helping his mother, the Vassal King Consort of An’nan, into the estate.

The family contentedly ate a reunion dinner.

Nevertheless, in front of the vassal king consort, the father and son were set on not mentioning the fact that the crown prince had submitted an impeachment memorial for the Vassal Prince of An’nan.

Because of her son’s return, the Vassal King Consort of An’nan drank more than usual. She felt tipsy afterwards, so she returned to her room with the maidservants first.

“Fu’er, what do you plan to do in regards to that matter.” The Vassal King of An’nan stopped smiling after seeing his wife leave, looking at his son in slight worry instead.

“Dad, rest assured. I have already discussed this matter with Mister Lu, and we have a preliminary countermeasure.”

“That’s good then.” The Vassal King of An’nan shook his head with a sigh. “I understand the king very well. He is an easily influenced person. The matter of your failure to discipline your troops is considered neither a major nor a minor issue, but if the king hears more than three people mentioning your error, then he will definitely have doubts toward you.”

“It is possible that this matter may not be resolved satisfactorily.” After all, those censors had bit on to his son like mad dogs. They wouldn’t just let go so easily.

Furthermore, behind these censors stood His Highness the Crown Prince.

“Dad, do not worry, this son is well aware of the situation.”

The Vassal King of An’nan nodded drearily before raising his cup and patting his shoulder with a smile. “Even if the king temporarily wants you to relinquish the Valiant Army’s military tally, do not refuse and just turn it in. You will be able to accompany your Mom more by resting at home.”

“This child understands.” Chou Fu lowered his head, but a faint unwillingness flitted across his eyes.

He had managed to rope in the whole of the Valiant Army with much difficulty. How could he just send it out with cupped hands like this?

That night, in the Vassal Prince of An’nan’s courtyard.

*Slap!* Someone smacked down a sheet of paper.

“His Highness the Crown Prince presented a memorial to the king to punish the vassal prince for failing to discipline his troops.” A military advisor noted with concern.

“In less than an hour, that person had already clearly listed a dozen of Nian Chong’s crimes and pasted it in the Central Plaza to make it known to the common people.”

“Mister Lu, what are your thoughts on this matter.” Vassal Prince Chou’s stern face was tense as he turned to look toward that middle-aged military advisor.

Mister Lu replied while shaking his head. “His Highness the Crown Prince is clearly taking advantage of this situation to suppress Lord Vassal Prince.”

“If this matter is not resolved well, not only will this campaign to Northern Qi not yield rewards, perhaps you might also be charged with the crime of failing to discipline your troops.”

“D*mn it, I see that His Highness the Crown Prince is deliberately targeting us!” A brawny general bellowed, “Lord Vassal Prince led us through dangerous situations in order to fight for the kingdom. Not only is he not rewarded upon his return, he even has to get punished? How is this acceptable.”

“That’s right, that’s right! Nian Chong has snatched some married women and also looted some money, but those are minor offenses. Compared with his meritorious service, what do those amount to.”

“Shut up.” Mister Lu glared at them in a fit of temper. “Look at you people. You people have already renounced the brigand life for many years, yet you still carry an immutable banditry attitude with you. Isn’t this just delivering leverage on a platter to other people?”

Mister Lu concluded, “Alright, you don’t need to bother further with this matter. I will discuss with Lord Vassal Prince on how to resolve it.”

“You all should go back to rest for the time being. This is the Mo Kingdom capital, so mind yourselves and observe the rules. Don’t commit errors and create more vulnerable points.” Mister Lu waved his hand to dismiss those roughnecks.
