Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

2046 Internal Conflicts (2)

Heavenly General Sang's eyes narrowed. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

He turned to look at the side and saw the minister who spoke. If he was not wrong, this minister's last name was Lan.

The Lan Family...

They lost their son because of Crown Prince Zhu and Crown Princess Luo not long ago.

If one had to say, their luck was indeed extremely bad to let their young master come to follow along and ended with only his corpse in the end.

But the war is cruel.

This was something that many people understood very well.

How many of them hadn't lost their comrades and families under this war?

They had lost so many people.

And the Lan Family was not an exception.

"Minister Lan," Heavenly General Sang said, "While I'm regretful for what had happened to your son, but no one is more suitable for this position aside from me."

"No one?" Minister Lan looked at Heavenly General Sang sand then said, "The commanders you recommended are all really weak and couldn't even last long. How do you think we should trust your words?"

It could be said that in this war against Fei Yang Kingdom, Heavenly General Sang's performance was indeed not very good.

The few people he recommended to take the position were all really bad. They couldn't even last long and those who were said to have potential seemed to be even worse and worse with time.

This made others felt rather skeptical.

Heavenly General Sang frowned.

While his performance in this war was not very good, but his long lasting reputation should have made others be more willing to listen to him.

This was Heavenly General Sang's confidence.

At least, that was before he spoke up in this meeting and realized that these ministers have started to lose trust in him. Not only did they lose trust in him, they were also unwilling to listen to his words and it could be said that they were distancing themselves from him.

'As expected, these so called nobles are the most troublesome.'

In the war against Fei Yang Kingdom, Heavenly General Sang had to use some coercive means in order to let these nobles sent their soldiers and also fought.

While Shi Long Kingdom's system was still that of monarchy with the emperor stood at the top, these people all have a lot of power and Emperor Shi Wang couldn't easily dismiss them.

While their power might be affected by the war, they were still holding considerable power.

And Heavenly General Sang also needed their agreement for the next step. Unfortunately, the reality told him that it was not so easy to let these people be willing to listen to him.

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Let's not talk about this and instead talk about what you're planning to do against the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom. They will come here soon and it wouldn't be long before they arrive if they're not stopped," Emperor Shi Wang finally said.

The two prime ministers have different opinions.

And many other officials were actually siding with Minister Lan.

It could be said that if Heavenly General Sang were to force his way forward today, there would be more internal battles in Shi Long Kingdom.

No matter how unwilling and frustrated Heavenly General Sang was, he could only follow along with Emperor Shi Wang's words. This made him annoyed.

Because he knew that the best chance to stop Long Qian Xing was in that place.

But if he didn't get enough power to mobilize the army soon, when Long Qian Xing reached that place, they wouldn't be ready...

Heavenly General Sang took a deep breath.

He had to work hard to convince these ministers next. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Minister Lan watched Heavenly General Sang's expression and lowered his head. He had a sneer on his face and it was clear that he would not let Heavenly General Sang have it easy to reach his goal.

On the other hand, Prime Minister Zhi looked very tired.

He knew very well that between that incompetent General Dou, Heavenly General Sang is a much better choice. The other generals who were left in Shi Long Kingdom were either not very competent or they were only promoted by their families' connection.

Those who were truly capable has been sent out.

And one way or another, they all died one by one, leaving only the incompetent ones to stay and defend Shi Long Kingdom.

To be honest, Prime Minister Zhi felt it was difficult to maintain his expression when he heard that. Because he knew the capabilities of these generals who were left were mostly based on their family and not their own ability.

This also meant that the war would be difficult to win.

But he endured.

Because he couldn't do anything else.

He might be the prime minister, but only Prime Minister Zhi knew that this position was actually full of grievances. The power was not truly in his hand and all he could do was to try working as hard as possible to make sure that he would not lose so

easily.

But how could it be easy?

These ministers only wanted money and power.

Emperor Shi Wang only wanted to stay in his harem.

The dog licking Prime Minister Dou was the one who had the most favor.

Heavenly General Sang has some power and say, but he had caused division between

himself and the other ministers.

The situation in the court is far from optimistic.

Prime Minister Zhi looked.

Has the Heaven forsaken them?

...

<Long distance away, Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua's side>

The talk between Nan Hua and Yu Jin lasted for some time until Nan Hua stopped it

on the excuse of resting before the night banquet.

But the main reason was because Nan Si came to Nan Hua with letter delivered from

Dark Moon Organization.

The Dark Moon Organization might no longer exist on the surface, but they were still doing a lot of work for Nan Hua. One of them was naturally gathering intelligence about Shi Long Kingdom's situation.
