Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

2045 Internal Conflicts

"Yes, Your Majesty." Heavenly General Sang cupped his fist. "I would like to request to handle the deployment of the soldiers to face General Xing and the other generals from Fei Yang Kingdom."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This request was not out of the blue for Heavenly General Sang. After listening to the report of the loss of the battle, Heavenly General Sang understood very well that these people who were facing Long Qian Xing and the others were really incompetent. The war that should have been in their favor could be overturned.

It was really frustrating to read and as the one from Shi Long Kingdom and also their sides, Heavenly General Sang really wanted to go straight to the south and gave these people some beatings.

Unfortunately, his old age had already made it impossible.

Now, all Heavenly General Sang could do was to take over the arrangement of the soldiers in the capital city as much as possible before Long Qian Xing came here. At the same time, he had to prepare a lot of defense on the way to prevent those people from Fei Yang Kingdom from reaching Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City so easily. For this, he had prepared a lot of things.

But things wouldn't be so easy if he didn't have the power.

He had to race against time because he was not sure that Long Qian Xing would be able to reach the place sooner than he expected.

If that was the case, the traps would be useless as it hadn't been set up properly.

So in order to ensure that Shi Long Kingdom would not lose, Heavenly General Sang decided to come forward to Emperor Shi Wang to propose handing the power to him and let him be the one in charge.

Emperor Shi Wang frowned and looked at the two prime ministers.

To be honest, even if he was nothing more than a puppet emperor, which he himself also knew, he still tried his best to limit the power of these ministers when it was possible. After all, he knew very well that it was not easy for him to survive if these ministers were too powerful.

Heavenly General Sang was already famous on the battlefield.

After that, Emperor Shi Wang had given him enough honor and Heavenly General Sang himself was not a person who coveted power.

In this way, they were able to get along harmoniously for several years without any conflicts whatsoever.

But now... Heavenly General Sang wanted more power?

Emperor Shi Wang was hesitant.

"I think Heavenly General Sang should have his reasons for this." Prime Minister Zhi took a deep breath. "If Heavenly General Sang could help us win in this perilous war against Fei Yang Kingdom, it would be for the best."

Prince Wu, who was in the room, also wanted to raise his opinion. But he also knew that his power was not stable yet and if he were to stand up so suddenly, he might end up being targeted.

For the sake of his little life, Prince Wu could only hold back and lowered his head. But his fingers were all clenched.

He wanted to participate in this discussion too.

If only it was possible, he wanted to be the one to replace his father and become the emperor of Shi Long Kingdom.

But this ambition had to be buried.

Because if he dared to show even the slightest bit of ambition, the other princes would definitely not take him so lightly.

"Heavenly General Sang might have the qualification, but would his body be able to handle this?" Prime Minister Dou quickly refuted.

He didn't want to hand over the power to Heavenly General Sang. In his opinion, this old general was already so old but he was still competing for power. Couldn't he rest and just leave things to the younger generation?

If Heavenly General Sang were to know what Prime Minister Dou was thinking, he would definitely sneer and said that if the younger generations were more reliable, he would definitely do that.

In this war against Fei Yang Kingdom, Heavenly General Sang has assumed the position of someone who stayed at the back several times.

He only made arrangement for the people to come forward.

But these people were all so weak and stupid that Heavenly General Sang felt he was about to have a heart attack. If not because of his strong mental fortitude tempered over the war, he would have long collapsed because of heart attack.

There was nothing that he could do about it.

He was also rather helpless.

So now, Heavenly General Sang didn't want to take any other risk and asked for power. He had thought about this for several days and after some contemplation, he felt that this was the right time.

But who would have thought that this dog licking prime minister would be the one to step forward against him?

Heavenly General Sang frowned.

Prime Minister Dou could sense that Heavenly General Sang was not happy with him, but he ignored the other party. In his opinion, Heavenly General Sang was already so

old, so there was no need for him to be the one to manage the soldiers.

For example... his son is still there.

In the face of profit, Prime Minister Dou would not back down so easily.

At this moment, Heavenly General Sang could also guess why Prime Minister Dou would go against him, which made him frown.

This didn't seem to be very good.

"I don't think that your arrangement will be good, Heavenly General Sang," One of the ministers suddenly speak up. "The war has been under your arrangement so far, but the result hasn't been very satisfying. In fact, I think that the loss of so many promising commanders and adjutant could be attributed to your incompetence too?" Hearing this sharp accusation, the entire hall was silent.

This was the first time someone dared to speak up against Heavenly General Sang so openly and so blatantly like that.
