Chapter 2948 The Difference Between Monarch and Minister
The waiter hesitated: "Second sister, I can't leave Beiqi yet."
"Why?" The child's face darkened, "Now that mother and queen are like this, you still refuse to go back? Bastard, what's going on with you? Do you really no longer want a home?"
"Second sister, you have seen the situation here... the people are in dire straits, and there are many children like Xiaozhou. I can't just watch and ignore them."
"You are all making excuses. The situation in Northern Qi can't be restored in a day or two. If it takes three years to recover, why don't you go home for three years?"
The waiter was silent for a moment and said: "Since I have become the King of Northern Qi, the people here are my subjects, and I have the responsibility to stay here."
The child looked at him in disbelief: "What do you mean?"
"Second sister, I want to prove myself."
"Prove what?"
"Prove that I am not a waste like my uncle." The waiter looked serious, "I have known since I was a child that I am not as good as my elder brother in terms of talents, and not as good as my second sister in terms of martial arts talent. Among my brothers and sisters, I am the least conspicuous. But I am also the child of my father and mother, and I want to prove myself that as long as I work hard, I can do it. I will not let my father down."
"You have become a good son to your father, so you are not afraid of your mother's displeasure."
"Northern Qi is my mother's motherland. If I manage Northern Qi well, my mother will be happy."
"Okay, you have made up your mind not to return to Kyoto, right?"
"It's not that I won't go back, it's just that it's not time yet. Once I prove myself, I will go back."
"Who do you want to prove to? Who wants to see? It's extremely childish." The child sneered, "There are no outsiders here, and we, siblings, don't have to beat around the bush. Waiter, tell the truth."
"Second sister, what I told is the truth."
"Don't do this to me!" the child said angrily, "You are not refusing to go back for the sake of the people of Northern Qi, but for yourself!"
"Second sister." The waiter frowned slightly, "Don't make trouble unreasonably. Keep your voice down, and don't disturb the queen to rest."
"Are you still concerned about your mother's health? Now you have become the King of Northern Qi, quelled the uprising here, and secured your position as King of Northern Qi. What do you want to do next? You want to go against Dazhou and the emperor brother, right? no?"
The waiter frowned: "Second sister, what did you say? I am the King of Northern Qi, I am always a minister, and the emperor brother is the king. I will not betray the emperor brother."
"Then why don't you dare to go back?"
"I'm not……"
"For the sake of the people, for the sake of Northern Qi, these are all excuses!" The child interrupted him sharply, "You just don't dare to go back. You are afraid that when you go back, you will become the next Xiao Ziliang, imprisoned in Kyoto, and never be able to leave!"
The waiter was silent.
The child sneered: "Did I tell you right?"
The waiter raised his head and said calmly: "Second sister, to be honest, if I go back, will the emperor let me go back to Northern Qi?"
"of course."
"What if he can't? Can you guarantee that he will let me come back?" Xiao Er said calmly, "Second sister, don't forget that he is now the emperor. There is a difference between monarch and minister, and don't treat him as a brother. He treats his uncle You can be cruel, but you can't be cruel to me?"
"You come back with me. If he doesn't let you back, I won't forgive him."
"The second sister is a prostitute. I won't forgive her. It won't have much impact on the emperor's brother."
The child was so angry that he sneered again and again: "Okay, it seems that you have made up your mind and are determined not to go back."
