Chapter 448: Candidate Issue

This suggestion is fairly standard, after all, the Fifth Prince does have the authority to be sent as an envoy to Daliang, doesn't he?
But as soon as the proposal was put forward, the Crown Prince's camp immediately objected.

Those in the First Prince's camp felt that, according to the ministers in the Fifth Prince's camp, the First Prince was also a man of importance to be sent as an envoy to Daliang, so why couldn't the First Prince go instead of the Fifth Prince?
Furthermore, the eldest prince is the most suitable son, wouldn't he be more suitable than the fifth prince?
The Fifth Prince's men would certainly not agree to this.

After all, this mission is an opportunity to accumulate merit.

Moreover, the eldest prince and the fifth prince have been fighting like cats and dogs lately, so who will side with whom now?

As a result, the ministers on both sides started arguing in the court about which of the two princes, the eldest prince and the fifth prince, was more suitable to go on the mission to Daliang.

They were making quite a racket.

For a moment, the emperor didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't say anything to stop the two sides, letting them argue all they wanted.

Perhaps sensing the emperor's attitude, others who did not belong to the First Prince's or Fifth Prince's camp also began to join the fray.

As they talked, someone even brought up the tenth prince.

The minister solemnly endorsed the Tenth Prince: "His Highness the Tenth Prince has now left the palace to establish his own residence, and being born under the tutelage of Consort Wei, I believe he is naturally qualified to be an envoy to Daliang."

As soon as these words were spoken, even the men of the First Prince and the Fifth Prince, who were arguing fiercely, subconsciously fell silent.

All the ministers in the court looked toward the minister who had spoken up to recommend the tenth prince.

Even the emperor couldn't help but take a second look.

The fact that the tenth prince has already left the palace and established his own residence is used to demonstrate that the tenth prince is now capable of undertaking diplomatic missions...

Isn't that a bit too far-fetched?
Furthermore, others may not know, but the emperor certainly does, which explains why the three young princes, the eighth, tenth, and twelfth, were able to leave the palace and establish their own residences so early.

It's not because these younger ones are already capable of being independent. Besides, the minister didn't mention the eighth prince, who is the oldest of the three, but the tenth prince.

You must understand that in the emperor's heart, among the eight, ten, and twelfth princes, the tenth prince was not only inferior to the eighth prince who had established himself, but also inferior to the twelfth prince who was younger than the tenth prince.

The minister who spoke felt inexplicably guilty under everyone's gaze.

When the emperor saw this, he immediately suppressed any further praise he might have given to the tenth prince and silently lowered his head.

Clearly, everyone could see that the Emperor strongly disagreed with the Tenth Prince's proposal to send him on a diplomatic mission.

The First Prince's men and the Fifth Prince's men immediately stood up.

First, they focused their firepower on the opposite side, bombarding the Tenth Prince's faction from both sides until they dared not utter another word. Only then did they continue their struggle with the opposing side.

It looked like they were about to start arguing again.

The emperor rubbed his forehead and glanced at Eunuch Yang.

Eunuch Yang immediately stepped forward, flicked his whisk, and said in a deep voice, "Silence!"

The hall fell silent instantly.

The emperor slightly raised his eyes and glanced at the ministers below, then said, "The ascension of the Crown Prince of Great Liang is a major event. Since Great Liang has already submitted its letter of state, I naturally cannot lose the grandeur of Great Sheng. However, although the border war between Great Liang and Great Sheng has been suspended for the time being, we must not be complacent."

After all, it hasn't even been half a month since the last border war between Daliang and Dasheng!

There's a ceasefire now, but who knows when the next battle will begin?

Perhaps in half a month, perhaps in the next second, given Da Liang's past behavior, anything is possible.
