"Okay! I agree!" After a while of silence, the eldest prince spoke first.
The eldest prince thought very clearly, although he was the first to speak against Princess Qi's support of the eight princes, but that was an act of anger. In fact, he knew that Princess Qi was now above the Dalu dynasty. If Princess Qi, regardless of her own opposition, insists on supporting the eighth prince, then the elder prince believes that he and the other princes cannot stop at all. The ministers in the court may hesitate , But, in the end, no one would stand up against it. After all, the overwhelming Wu Yan had just been dealt with by Princess Qi, and the ministers would not think that they were more powerful than Wu Yan.
Therefore, as long as Princess Qi insists on her own opinion, then the eighth prince will be enthroned, that is unstoppable. The only thing she can do is to get angry in her heart. At the same time, in the future, some decrees of the eighth prince will be violated. But nothing will change.
But now, Princess Qi proposed to determine the ownership of the throne according to their respective abilities, which gave the eldest prince see hope. After all, he is still very confident in his own abilities. The eldest prince of the Lu Dynasty, the environment in which he grew up determined him, and his ears would only be filled with all kinds of praise. Therefore, his self-confidence has always been very sufficient.
What's more, this is indeed an opportunity, better than letting Princess Qi directly support the Eighth Prince?
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
The other princes also reacted at this time and said one after another, like the eldest prince, they are very confident in their own abilities and feel that they will definitely be able to beat other people, and they have a chance to win that position. Naturally, she will not give up. At this time, if she opposes Princess Qi's suggestion, then, in a rage, she directly supports the eighth prince to the upper ranks, then they have no way to stop it. Therefore, Princess Qi's idea For them, it is still very good.
The ministers in the palace also had no opinion on Princess Qi's suggestion, and even many people were surprised that Princess Qi was able to make such a suggestion.
In the eyes of everyone, Princess Qi is now in the Dalu dynasty and has a lot of right to speak. Even if other princes are not happy, Princess Qi wants to forcefully support the eight princes to ascend the throne, just as other princes have done. As they thought, these ministers dare not fight against Princess Qi at this time. After all, Wu Yan's corpse hasn't been cool enough yet, that's a lesson in front of you.
However, these ministers did not expect that Princess Qi did not choose to forcefully support the eighth prince. Instead, she chose such a method, which surprised all the ministers. As for, they also admired Princess Qi's temperament and her cleverness in their hearts.
This is indeed the best of both worlds. It can suppress the rebel forces in the territory and distinguish the abilities of the princes, and select the most suitable person. At that time, who is being selected as the emperor, then the other people There will not be any dissatisfaction and complaints, because this is earned by others.
Therefore, these ministers, at this time, naturally would not object to Princess Qi's suggestion, and were even satisfied with it.
At this time, in the whole hall, the eighth prince was the most unhappy and most dissatisfied. Of course, the dissatisfaction of the eighth prince was not aimed at Princess Qi, but at the other princes.
Originally, the Eighth Prince had given up hope, thinking that he had been eliminated by Princess Qi, but he did not expect that Princess Qi unexpectedly chose him, which made the Eighth Prince overjoyed and excited.
However, before he was more happy, the other princes expressed their opposition, which made the eighth prince very angry. If other princes were selected and someone opposed it, the eighth prince would not feel much, but, The person who is being opposed now, but himself, he is already very close to that position. As a result, the other princes are unwilling to see themselves sitting in that position, which naturally makes the eighth prince angry.
Then, seeing that Princess Qi could not withstand the siege of so many princes, she chose to compromise. The eighth prince was angry and helpless. In this situation, he had no choice. He was only one person, and he was here. In the matter, the other princes were obviously on the same line, which made him feel powerless.
Moreover, the other princes all agreed with Princess Qi's opinion. If he objected to it, it seemed to others that he was afraid and lacking self-confidence, which was obviously not acceptable.
Therefore, in the end, the eighth prince could only be forced to agree.
"Okay, since you all agree, that's all set!" Princess Qi said.
Everyone naturally no one objected.
At this moment, a messenger suddenly ran in from outside, shouting from a distance: "Eight hundred miles in a hurry!"
Everyone in the hall was suddenly shocked. It is obviously a matter of urgency that can use "800 li to expedite", and for the current Da Lu Dynasty, the most critical thing is naturally the affairs of the rebel forces in the territory. Could it be that, What happened there?
Everyone felt a bad feeling in their hearts.
Sure enough, when the soldier was allowed to go to the temple, he told everyone a very bad news, that is, the army on the front line was defeated again, and was defeated by the rebel forces led by Wang Cheng again, although it was not defeated this time. Wu Yan was miserable, but it was also a heavy loss.
"How could this be?" Princess Qi said in a panic. She didn't expect this to be the case.
Originally, she thought that the situation on the front line should be relatively stable. Therefore, she decided to let these princes choose the rebels in one direction to fight and suppress them. In Princess Qi's view, although it will not be all. The prince can succeed, but at least there will be no danger. After all, the power of their Dalu court still has the upper hand.
However, the news that came back now shakes her thoughts. Wu Yan's defeat is understandable. After all, he doesn't understand command, but now the frontline commanders are all experienced generals, and there are no outsiders. Guiding professionals, how can they still lose? Moreover, they also lost miserably. This is really unreasonable.
Can the things proposed before proceed?
Princess Qi hesitated in her heart.
