Title The First Jasmine
I still to the present episode can't figure out why ML's brother decided to stash the edict instead of showing…
Basically he needed someone loyal to the crown and with a good reputation to come and state that the edict was real, if he carelessly showed the edict in public they could’ve easily destroyed it without anyone actually proving that it was real yk. About him having ‘his army’, that is simply not true, he was only a general, the army was not his, the army belongs to the emperor and he cannot just storm in the palace or wherever stating that he has the right to do so, cuz u can only command the army under the emperors order. I’ve watched so many dramas with generals so i got the gist of it. Plus as soldiers it’s about honour as well, they preferred waiting for trial rather than fighting their way in. If myx’s brother just waited for duke hua to arrive he would’ve not died (they would’ve not killed a general and his army if he was staying he had proof, let’s remember that this is a monarchy but without people’s consensus a king is nothing)
