Long Ao Ming nodded.
Sometimes, result was the most important thing on the battlefield and not the process. A capable general, if he had made a fatal mistake, could be removed from his position immediately.
No matter how capable he is, there would be many people who would magnify his mistake.
It was also because of this that those who were at the high position had to tread even more carefully. Because if they were to make a mistake, there would be many people who wanted to pounce forward and dragged them down.
Power is tempting.
Many people wanted to obtain power and for that, they could do many things that might have crossed the bottom lines of many other people.
What happened to the Shangguan Family could be said to be extremely ironic, full of blood and tears. From family drama to their subordinate problems, the Shangguan Family suffered a lot in this period of time.
Moreover, there were not many descendants of the Shangguan Family left.
"I understand," Long Ao Ming replied.
Prime Minister Xian nodded and then proceeded to the map in front of him. "Now, this will be your assignment for the next year..."
...
Long Ao Ming stretched his hand once he got out of the side halls. Prime Minister Xian was a very good prime minister with sharp and broad ideas.
If Long Ao Ming had to say, Prime Minister Xian was one of the few people whom he genuinely respected. But at the same time, he also understood that Prime Minister Xian was someone who was specifically trained for war era.
His vision and methods, were all towards war and so on.
"Great General Long."
Hearing this call, Long Ao Ming resisted the urge to sight and quickly cupped his fist to the person who arrived. "Prime Minister Lan."
"Would you like to take a walk to the gate?" Prime Minister Lan asked with a smile on his aged face.
He was no longer young and after working in the Imperial Court for several years and tried his best to protect and paved way for Emperor Yang Zhou, he looked even older. More than half of his hair had turned white even though he was around the same age as Long Ao Ming.
His back was also a bit hunched, no longer showing the powerful and rigorous demeanor he once had when he was young.
"Alright," Long Ao Ming replied.
The two of them used to work together on the frontline in the past. In fact, Prime Minister Lan became a general faster than Long Ao Ming in the past. But in the end, Prime Minister Lan retired earlier and no longer stayed on the frontline.
It could be seen that Prime Minister Lan was doing a good job on the court.
There were not many people who would not listen if Prime Minister Lan said something.
