บท 336: Matchmaking

"But to really investigate Zhang Feng, your grandfather… wouldn't he lose face?" General Ji asked politely. The situation was too complicated. Grandfather Huo had been the second-in-command of the Supreme Military Council prior to his retirement and now held the rank of General. He had numerous contacts within the upper class of the Empire, so there were too many people and interest groups tied to this. Huo Shaoheng frowned as he contemplated the benefits and risks.

General Ji secretly approved of Huo Shaoheng's decision and knew he was truly a good candidate. He had chosen the right successor after all. He knew when to take action and understood his priorities. "Also, the Xie's, have you considered their feelings?" General Ji reminded him again in case Huo Shaoheng was too young and reckless. He may be casting his net too wide and make too many enemies, General Ji worried.
