Chapter 1488 The Messy Court
Great General Wei didn't answer.
But it was his silence that had given the answer. Everyone only took it for granted that she was from Dark Moon Organization without any other action to confirm this matter.
Emperor Yang Zhou tapped the table lightly. "I would like to meet her personally.
Prime Minister Lan was at the side and his eyes widened in disbelief at Emperor Yang Zhou's sudden words. "Your Majesty, this…"
"If she wished to kill me, she would have done it a long time ago. I would like to see just how powerful is this young girl who's so famous." Emperor Yang Zhou's tone was relaxed and calm but it carried the irrefutable tone.
Great General Wei was still looking in Emperor Yang Zhou's direction and bowed his head. "Yes, Your Majesty. I will bring her next time."
Emperor Yang Zhou nodded. "Next, let's take over the few cities…"
The discussion afterwards was about the next move they would take. Since they wished to take over Zhang Xu Kingdom, it meant that they will start from conquering the cities and made sure Zhang Xu Kingdom's territory was taken by them.
Prime Minister Lan watched by the side and finally sighed.
He hoped that this new figure who appeared didn't have any hostile intention towards them.
…
<Long distance away, Zhang Xu Kingdom's side at the Capital City, the Court>
Bang!
Emperor Zhang Hou Tian listened to the reports and felt like smashing everything in front of him. He thought that Prime Minister Lei could finally push those b*stard out of their territory.
But what happened?
Their plan backfire and many of their soldiers were lost.
Even if there were many soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom who were lost, there were too many losses on their side too.
It was terribly annoying.
"What are you doing at the frontline to cause such heavy losses?" Emperor Zhang Hou Tian asked, his tone clearly showed how irritated he was from this news.
The officials all bowed, not daring to speak out at this moment. They knew that whoever was pointed to speak would be the unluckiest person among them because Emperor Zhang Hou Tian just wanted someone to vent his anger.
He couldn't vent his anger on Prime Minister Lei, who was so far away at the frontline.
So his attention shifted towards these ministers in front of him who 'didn't do their job properly.'
"Tell me, what other plan do you have that can help to kick these b*stard out?" Emperor Zhang Hou Tian was very annoyed.
In his father's reign, there had been several wars with Fei Yang Kingdom. Even if there were losses, this was the first time that their territory was breached so heavily that there didn't seem to be any precedent.
Would he be the Emperor written in the history for losing the war?
He refused.
Zhang Xu Kingdom has always been the strongest one from many centuries ago and Emperor Zhang Hou Tian refused that it would fall in his hand. He had already gathered many talented and strong people under him.
How could it be possible for him to fail to defeat that annoying Fei Yang Kingdom?
He wanted nothing more than to crush their bones into smithereens.
"Your Majesty, the situation hadn't been very good on the frontline with Fei Yang Kingdom. Was it because of the lack of manpower?" An official finally speak out.
"Your Majesty, does this mean that the tactics Prime Minister Lei suggested couldn't be used?"
"Your Majesty, we're hoping that…."
"Your Majesty, would it be possible for…"
These officials all tacitly agreed to speak at the same time, one by one without stopping. That way, if Emperor Zhang Hou Tian wanted to punish them, he could punish all of them at the same time.
Anyway, they were not alone.
Emperor Zhang Hou Tian felt his temple throbbed.
The officials were divided into several factions and naturally would not unite so easily. They had various different ideas they wished to convey so that they could be the one who gained the most merit.
And with Prime Minister Lei's failure, his faction had been quietly suppressed by the others.
They were annoyed.
But what could they do?
Prime Minister Lei had done nothing but defending for the past few months. And this time strike was even a big failure because of the loss of so many soldiers. Not to mention, they had also lost a general and a strategist.
General Cao was not calculated because he was originally poached from Fei Yang Kingdom.
Even if he died, they would not care so much.
What they cared the most was General Shang who had died in the hand of Princess Jun along with Strategist Mang who was captured.
Who didn't know that the former was a good general while the latter was a strategist under Prime Minister Lei.
With him being captured, would Fei Yang Kingdom knew some of their tactics and secrets?
This was what they were worried about.
"Quiet!"
Once again, Emperor Zhang Hou Tian felt that these officials were really noisy and didn't want to see them quarreling again.
He had been brought to this seat by Prime Minister Lei's help.
It was impossible for him to leave Prime Minister Lei. Even if he was dissatisfied with Prime Minister Lei's result and tactic this time that backfired on them, he still needed Prime Minister Lei.
So far, Prime Minister Lei had done a great job.
He was more willing to trust Prime Minister Lei for a while longer.
"We'll follow Prime Minister Lei's arrangement and forced Fei Yang Kingdom's forces to stop on that valley! Come forward and help with the tactic arrangement! No one can come back and sleep if the tactic is not done!" Emperor Zhang Hou Tian slammed the chair and yelled in anger.
The officials all looked at each other.
I look at you and you look at me.
In the end, they all kowtowed on the ground and simultaneously said, "The Emperor is wise."
