I do not expect him to kill the enemy, one soldier at a time; I simply hope he can protect himself and not burden others." He paused. "When the old man went to war in person, it indeed boosted the morale, but it also brought considerable trouble to the troops."
An Jing: "..." Is it really okay for you to talk about an Emperor like that?
