Young Master Shi knew his father's temperament; asking him to betray the court and raise a rebellious banner was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But today, with General Shi taking action to protect Dong Chenglang and the Duke Huguo, Young Master Shi felt there was a glimmer of hope.
As his cousin said—
Loyalty.
That depends on whether the court is worthy of their loyalty.
The court is corrupt, the King is muddle-headed, and their loyalty would only be aiding an oppressive regime.
Nanliang and Daqi have always left each other alone, but the Emperor, with ambitions, wanted to attack Daqi, causing the people to live in misery.
Now, not able to annex Daqi, and even losing several fortresses to Daqi, has been immensely humiliating.
There are Nanliang spies in the Daqi Camp, and Daqi operatives in the Nanliang Military Camp.
The incident of General Shi hitting the Duke Huguo reached the camp quickly.
