These ministers were not stupid.
They knew very well that whoever was pushed to the forefront had to bear the pressure and burden of the entire Fan Yi Kingdom's fate. Right now, the powerful generals have already failed and died under Fei Yang Kingdom.
Were there any generals more capable than them?
Even if there was any, it was not from their families!
Many of them were well aware that the only reason why their family mbers were able to beco a commander was because of their backing. Their own talents were not very good but with the family's support, it was not impossible.
The problem is...
These kind of commanders definitely couldn't be promoted to beco a general and then led the entire soldiers of Fan Yi Kingdom to fight against Fei Yang Kingdom. They would definitely lose miserably.
Pri Minister Zhu's lips twitched when he saw this.
He wanted to beat up these ministers and let them appoint soone, but they didn't dare to speak at all.
And the only real capable general in Fan Yi Kingdom was...
The three generals at the north.
But...
Pri Minister Zhu could never appoint them. Those three never listened to the Emperor, even more so to him. Their relationship was also like water and fire, could never get along with each other in the slightest bit.
And what if General Yang succeeded?
Then the glory would have nothing to do with Pri Minister Yang and Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor would instead look favorably upon General Yang.
So Pri Minister Zhu could only stay silent.
"Heh." Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor snorted when he saw Pri Minister Zhu staying silent. He thought about his children, who were also not very capable themselves. The best and the most ambitious of them all was the crown prince.
But the sa crown prince had died many years ago because he tried to assassinate Fei Yang Kingdom's Emperor and Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor had to kill him.
It was miserable.
Now, Fan Yi Kingdom was also pushed to the dead end once again and there was not much that Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor could do.
"Prepare a letter to Pri Minister Yang," Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor said slowly. "Tell him to abandon the north border and return along with the other generals."
Abandon the north border?
The minsters were shocked when they heard Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor's words.
Every single one of them knew very well that this was an impossible preposition. When Fan Yi Kingdom was first ford in the past, it was also because of this north border's problem. The attack from the tribes at the north caused devastating damages and many people were forced to take a step back.
And it was the emperor at that ti who sent people to take care of these tribes and protected the border.
They could never allow these tribes to set their foot any further to the south!
It was with this conviction that they protected the north border so well all these years. They were trying their best to protect the land and so far, they were doing well.
The other kingdoms also understood Fan Yi Kingdom's position.
So it could be said that even if there were so skirmish, neither of the three kingdoms that directly border Fan Yi Kingdom dared to conquer Fan Yi Kingdom on their own.
Because they knew that if they were to take down Fan Yi Kingdom, Fan Yi Kingdom's problem would be their problem.
They had to fight those north tribes.
None of them wanted it.
they followed through the original intention and let Fan Yi Kingdoms stand tall there. There might be so conflicts of interest but it would never reach the point where Fan Yi Kingdom fell.
Now, Fei Yang Kingdom was determined to conquer Fan Yi Kingdom.
So Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor could only give this order to Pri Minister Yang and try to let this pri minister return.
"Your Majesty, you can't abandon the north!"
"Your Majesty, please think it over..."
"Then tell who can step forward to fight against Fei Yang Kingdom?" Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor asked, his tone was harsh. He was very tired and these ministers were not helping in the slightest bit.
Upon hearing this question, these ministers fell into silence once again.
They knew that it would not be a good idea to ask Pri Minister Yang and the other generals
to return.
Because this ant that the north border would be open for attack.
But...
What else can they do?
Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor snorted and waved his hand. "Co here and write the letter. I want Pri Minister Yang to return at the shortest ti possible. The three generals, at least two have to co back!"
The ministers looked at each other and then replied, "Yes!"
There was nothing else that they could do but to listen to Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor's order.
"Also, send commanders from various families to support the battlefield. I hope you can arrange it, Pri Minister Zhu."
The commanders from various families?
Pri Minister Zhu trembled and looked at the ministers behind him. They all understood
from his gaze that those who stood opposite of him would be the unluckiest one.
If they wanted to survive, they could only bribe this annoying pri minister.
Slowly but surely, they started to move.
Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor watched coldly and closed his eyes. He hoped that there would be a good news for him soon.
