292 Perilous Situation for Ming Kingdom (2/2)

”You better take care of yourself,” the emperor agreed right on. If there was anyone he could trust perfectly, that would be this strategist. He was, after all, one of the four people that use to follow him since his youth.

”This subject will return soon.”

Strategist Wu walked outside the hall with fast movement. This time, he needed to fight on the frontline again.

”Rei, don't lack behind.”

”Yes master,” Strategist Wu servant, who had been waiting for some time, hurriedly runs towards his master's side with a smile plastered on his face. ”We are going again?”

”To the East,” Strategist Wu answered.

”Understood,” he answered energetically.

Inside the hall, the Emperor face didn't turn any better. He looked towards the only son he had here. ”Gong'er, is there anything you think about this matter?”

Ming Gong looked at his father. ”It seemed the plan has been prepared for a long of time. They did it so swiftly and quick, but we can't make the appropriate response quick enough.”

On his side, Xuan Pei was the one giving him the answer. Since he was selected to stay by Ming Gong side, Ming Gong finally understood how his brother could achieve that wonderful victory on the border. With someone as smart as Xuan Pei on his side, the win was already expected.

The emperor agreed. Since when did his foresight turn really bad? The matter happened right before his eyes, but he couldn't predict when it happened at all.

”Let's return for today. Ming Gong, you take care of those officials.”

Ming Gong face darkened because he knew that the officials didn't like him. Seeing the people looking at him with derision, he felt that this was going to be hard. In the end, it was Xuan Pei who took care of the matter swiftly without the two knowing that he had planted the seed of rift among the officials.

With their current unreliable crown prince, it was easy for him to create the dispute among the officials to not follow after Ming Gong. This prince was the perfect example of a member of Imperial Family but has a stupid attitude.

After exiting the hall, the emperor sighed.

”Let's rest for a while, Your Majesty,” the empress said with a soothing tone.

The emperor nodded. ”Come accompany me.”

”Yes.”
