Chapter 783 Last Message

Inside the main hall, there were only two people now.

"Everyone have different vision and goal in their lives. The one that unite them is if one of their goals overlapped with each other." Old Master Nan was the first one to break the silence. He looked at the young emperor before him and cupped his fist. "This subject wishes that His Majesty could keep this in mind."

If he wished to keep the officials united, they would need to have a goal.

Their goal would be to bring prosperity and rise Fei Yang Kingdom together.

And for them to be able to work together, they would have understanding of the means. Even if some of them might not completely agree, they could have some compromise in order to achieve the greater goal.

Emperor Yang Zhou sat on his seat in silence. He looked at Old Master Nan. "Is that the last message my grandfather gave me?"

"There are many words that couldn't be conveyed. However, His Majesty Emperor Huan had high expectation of you, Your Majesty." Old Master Nan bowed. "Heaven shall bless you in your goal, Your Majesty."

"Thank you."

Closing his eyes, Emperor Yang Zhou was silent as he looked at the ceiling. His grandfather spent most of his life at the battlefield, but he did come to pay a visit a few times. During those times, Emperor Yang Zhou would feel like he learned a lot.

Even through small things, there was always something that his grandfather taught him. Even until the very end.

It was not much.

And it might be the reason why his grandfather asked his old friend to deliver the message to him when he was old enough to understand.

"I won't disappoint my grandfather."

"Those words... are more than enough for this subject, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yang Zhou lowered his head, looking at Old Master Nan. He might not understand the friendship between those four, but he felt that it might be like sworn brothers. They trusted each other and moved forward together.

"The younger generation hadn't completely grown up yet. I hope that you can still help us on the frontline, Great General Nan," Emperor Yang Zhou said slowly.

He knew very well that Old Master Nan, Old Master Shangguan, and Old Master Long had sacrificed many things for Fei Yang Kingdom. It was thanks to their unrelenting effort that Fei Yang Kingdom could stay alive and stay strong all these years.

However...

Fei Yang Kingdom still needed a strong figure at the forefront.

Without the existences of these people, he was sure that it wouldn't be easy for Fei Yang Kingdom to gain the advantage against other kingdoms. It could be said that their mere presence was the strategy that was necessary for them to stay at the forefront.

He didn't want to put more burden on Old Master Nan's shoulder.

But he knew that it was the most effective measure.

Even though as a person he felt that it was inhumane to ask Old Master Nan for more things in his old age, as an Emperor, he knew that this was what the kingdom truly needed.

It was conflicting.

Old Master Nan was silent for a moment. The question of whether he should go back to the battlefield again or not had been circulating in his mind over and over. Ever since Nan Hua told him that he could actually return, he was already contemplating about this matter.

Should he?

He wanted to.

Yet, at the same time, he didn't want to go back to that place filled with death.

Slowly, Old Master Nan cupped his fist. "Should Your Majesty needs this subject, this subject shall be Your Majesty's sword at the frontline."

Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Old Master Nan deeply.

In the end, he waved his hand. "You may go, Old Master Nan."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. May the Heaven be with you." Old Master Nan cupped his fist once more and knelt down before standing up and left.

He dismissed Old Master Nan and called the other officials back. Now, it was time for him to settle the scores.

He missed the time when they were all still together, but he also knew that there was no way it could be everlasting. Everything that has beginning will have the end. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}
