Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 2046

2046 Internal Conflicts (2)

Heavenly General Sang's eyes narrowed.

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." _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

"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.
