Chapter 292

The Capital of the Ming Kingdom

In the entire history of his life, this was the first time the emperor faced something as dire as now.

Having two influential families in your kingdom suddenly turn their back on you was surely not a wonderful experience.

Not to mention that a person from another influential family was waiting for his doom in another kingdom.

On the side, Strategist Wu's face also paled considerably. He had not calculated that the Manoban family would suddenly turn their back and launch an attack like this.

However, it was not like this was not possible considering how the emperor acted all these years.

Even he felt a bit helpless at the emperor's acts.

Although people respected him on the surface since he was the emperor, they would mock him on the back because of his actions that didn't suit a leader.

Many of them disagreed with his act of wanting power over the entire kingdom, but they never did anything in fear of the power held by the emperor.

Now that the power on his hand decreased, how was it possible that they could rest easy?

The number of riots may increase because they were the supporters of the Kim and Manoban families. It seemed the end of the Ming Kingdom would occur during this emperor's reign.

"Wu, make some strategy or whatever," the emperor said angrily.

Strategist Wu sighed. The power that the emperor held all these years had made him blinded and do things foolishly.

The way he governed had changed, and the past powerful emperor was no longer here.

He didn't understand, what made the emperor possibly change so much. Power or was it a woman?

He stole a glance at the calmly sitting empress. She didn't bear any child for the emperor, but all these years, she never lost her seat as the Empress.

She was not an ordinary woman to make the emperor let her keep the seat all these years.

"Your Majesty, should the worst happen, you need to prepare a way out," Strategist Wu said calmly.

The emperor was extremely pissed by the decision of Strategist Wu, but he couldn't say anything in refute.

The power he has is limited only to the Lan family and the Lee family.

"Wait, where that Lee person is?" It was only now did he remembered about the person from the Lee family that he sent away to negotiate with the Kai Kingdom.

Among the officials he has, only these two families were the best at handling international relations.

"He never returned," Strategist Wu answered.

"Did something happen to him?"

"We don't know," there was simply no time for them to investigate what had happened to the boy when they were in this dire situation.

Just fending off the enemy had taken them considerable damage and they couldn't spare any time to care for that person.

"You're really worthless!" the emperor bellowed.

Strategist Wu felt stifled. Why did he choose to follow this emperor in the first place?

It didn't matter anymore, it was his role to finish every mess this person created. He missed his old friends, too bad that only two people left from the four pillars of the emperor.

During the early years of the emperor's reign, he had four close people handling the matter for him.

Each of them was highly proficient in military, strategist, politics, and economics.

Everything should have been perfect if only they didn't fall one by one because of the retaliation from the Kim and Lan family.

Strategist Wu took a deep breath. "Let me go to the east. I will take care of the Manoban family."

As a famous strategist, he was not someone who didn't know anything. Rather, he knew a lot of things and used to lead the soldiers from the frontline along with Teng.

He didn't believe that he couldn't take care of that little brat named Lisa Manoban. He will show that brat just what was called powerful.

"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 used 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 fall behind."

"Yes master," Strategist Wu's servant, who had been waiting for some time, hurriedly ran 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's face didn't turn any better. He looked towards the only son he had here. "Jang, is there anything you think about this matter?"

Jang looked at his father. "It seemed the plan had been prepared for a long time. They did it so swiftly and quickly, 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 Jang's side, Jang 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. Jang, you take care of those officials."

Jang's 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 a dispute among the officials to not follow after Jang.

This prince was the perfect example of a member of the Imperial Family but had 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."
