Scumbag Falls for Fiance After Breaking Engagement(ABO)

Chapter 51 The Sound of a Broken Heart

It was three days later when the secretary saw He Mingfeng again. They received an urgent battle report from the front line. The alliance did not forget to make small moves during the truce period. Fortunately, the deployment was proper and the soldiers were alert, so no serious losses were caused.

　　"I'll arrange the matters related to Emperor Star, and you can handle them in the afternoon," He Mingfeng sat on the leather chair in the study, his face still pale and ugly, "We will return to the front tomorrow."

　　The secretary secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He Mingfeng's condition was too bad. He had been worried for the past few days, fearing that Alpha would die quietly. No wonder He Mingfeng had never returned to Emperor Star before. This time he lost half his life! Fortunately, they were about to return to the front line. He looked at He Mingfeng's serious face and felt that the marshal who made him follow wholeheartedly was back again.

　　"Listen, contact our people secretly and tell them that I will fully support the crown prince's ascension to the throne."

　　"What?!" The secretary dropped the folder on the ground in shock. "Marshal, are you awake now? Has your body affected your judgment?"

　"I was sober and every word I said was carefully considered."

　　The secretary said hastily, "I can't just blindly obey you just because you give me a lot of money! The current situation is that the parliament and the nobles are fighting each other. No matter how you look at it, our military should stay out of it and reap the benefits! Your clear attitude of supporting the crown prince will inevitably offend the people in the parliament, which is totally not worth the loss! Besides, haven't you always been at odds with the crown prince? What benefits will we get after he ascends the throne?"

　　"I don't deny that I have selfish motives," He Mingfeng admitted frankly, and then added: "But this decision is not entirely out of selfishness. The current situation is that if the nobles win, everything will remain the same, with a smooth transition of power and checks and balances; if the parliament wins, it will inevitably face a reshuffle of power and even a subversion of the political system, which is likely to trigger bloody conflicts."

　　"The soldiers on the frontline are still fighting the alliance. I don't like the turmoil within the empire. This kind of internal friction should be stopped. Politics is treacherous. The longer it takes, the more variables there will be. We are far away from the border, so it is better to stand on the side as soon as possible, take the initiative to promote the development of the situation, and seize the initiative."

　　He paused, lowered his head and said, "And someone told me that the Crown Prince is a talented person... I trust his judgment very much."

　　"Your vision is indeed broader than ours and more conducive to the development of the empire." The secretary adjusted his glasses, apparently convinced by him, but still said worriedly, "But

　　I must remind you that if you do this, the end result will most likely be that the nobles will not appreciate it and the parliament will be offended, and you will not be able to please either side and will be in a difficult position."

　　"I am a person who is not popular. Look who is left around me? I am all alone." He Mingfeng waved his hand tiredly, "Go ahead. I have thought about it carefully. This will at least avoid a meaningless social unrest. They are engaged in politics, and we are soldiers - soldiers' guns should be pointed at the enemy."

　　"Yes, Marshal." The secretary saluted him and turned back hesitantly before leaving: "The selfishness you just mentioned, do you mean... the Duke?" He has seen everything these days, what else is there that he doesn't understand? All of He Mingfeng's misconduct is related to Shen Liangyue. Is this a case of a hero being tempted by a beautiful woman?
