C207 Decision

"I know that all my loved ones must be rather dissatisfied with this matter. Although you all did not express it, I know that you all are thinking the same thing." The reason we are discussing about this in the imperial court today is because we want to give our loved ones an explanation. This is the result of our discussion with the Thirteenth Princess. "

There was an outspoken official who was eager to give it a try, but he was stopped by the official next to him. He said in an extremely soft voice, "Speaking at this time, are you tired of living?"

The official hesitated. It was indeed inappropriate to stand up and take the lead. This was related to Duan Yunfei, the government, the border wars, Yuwen Di's face, and the battles between the princes. Although the inquiry was small, there would probably be endless future troubles. It must be known that it was not a good thing to be targeted by the Fifth Prince and Eighth Prince.

Yuwen Di sized up the reactions of all the officials in the hall. All of them had doubts in their hearts, but did not have any intention to speak.

The situation was a little strange, even the Eunuch Li was worried about this situation, people were still afraid of being remembered by others, this was not a matter of missing them, it was just that there were some grudges in their hearts that they were unwilling to express, and the grudges grew deeper and deeper, one day reaching a point that they could not change.

The Minister of the Left had spoken at this moment, easing the atmosphere in the court.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject has the gall to ask, if the Thirteenth Princess did not bring troops with them, what reason did they have to head to the border?"

Yuwen Di guessed that the Left Premier must have already known about this. From his expression, Yuwen Di could tell that the Left Premier did not seem to be surprised at all when he said those words. On the contrary, he seemed to think that it was natural.

"Thirteenth Princess was worried about the war at the border and hence requested of us. She hoped that we would allow her to go to the border and take care of the warriors in the army.

At this moment, the Fifth Prince's group of officials couldn't stand any longer and someone asked.

"Your Majesty, although Thirteenth Princess has practiced martial arts since young, she is still a girl. On the battlefield, swords and sabers have no eyes, if Thirteenth Princess were to go there, her life would be in danger." That official paused and lowered his voice, "Besides, it would be hard to convince the masses to send a woman to the front lines …" If the Golden Horde Kingdom were to know about this, I'm afraid they would think that the men of our Jin Country will not even be able to make it to the battlefield. "

In truth, these words were also what most of the court ministers were thinking, even without considering Duan Yunfei's safety, it was just as the court official said, Duan Yunfei, as a princess, had never achieved anything, but after a few years of training in the art of war and reading a few military manuals, was she going to be able to play a role in the battle?

Who can believe these words? How can they convince the masses? When the time came, it would only make the soldiers think that the imperial government did not care about this matter. They actually sent a wet behind the ears brat to represent the imperial family.

"I second that." Since some officials had already expressed their opinions, the other officials also joined in. The imperial court was once again in a state of chaos. It was quite different from before.

"This official has something to say. Honored ministers, although Thirteenth Princess is a woman, I'm afraid not many among you are stronger than her in terms of martial arts or general cultivation. With Mulan as a representative and Mu Guiying as a general, why can't my Jin Country's princess go to the battlefield? "Honorable officials, you are so heroic and unyielding. I don't know if you have heard of this before."

These words came from the Minister of the Left, with Duan Yunfei's strength, in the entire Jin Country, there were few who were stronger than her, comparable to her, so if Duan Yunfei really wanted to lead the troops out, the Minister would not feel that there was anything amiss.

"What Minister Zuo said is exactly what I wanted to say. Thirteenth Princess will not follow the army to battle, this is all we can say, if the other people cannot accept this arrangement, then we can come back later to the royal study and ask us if you have any ideas for resolving this. "

Yuwen Di really didn't want to hear any more of these officials talk. When he was giving advice, he didn't see them getting so excited, so he was very passionate about these things.

"Withdraw."

"Your Majesty has withdrawn from court."

"Your Majesty."

After Yuwen Di left, the ministers gathered together again, and discussed their thoughts on this matter.

On the Fifth Prince's side, other than supporting the Fifth Prince, there was also approval for Duan Yunfei's decision to go to the border.

"Fifth Prince, although this matter has indeed caused you to lose face, but you think that even though His Majesty hasn't agreed to let you lead the troops to war?" However, this also allowed the prince to remain in the capital. It is hard to say what would happen in the capital during this period of time.

"That's right, prince. Swords don't grow eyes on the battlefield. Even the empress might be worried if you go."

"Fifth Prince, this might not be a good thing. If Saiwong misses, what will happen to him?"

What the ministers said made sense. Since things had already come to this point, no one could change the decision that Yuwen Di had made. Since Duan Yunfei wanted to show off, then let her be. After all, she was just a princess, even if she managed to win people's hearts with this matter, it wouldn't change anything.

The Eighth Prince was much calmer than the Fifth Prince.

"Eighth Prince, this matter …"

"No worries, although Yun Fei is favoured, he is still just a princess. This time, it would be much better for her to go to the border than it is for Fifth Emperor." When Eighth Prince thought about the Fifth Prince's expression just now, he felt extremely satisfied in his heart.

"Eighth Prince is right, it is this subject who is inconsiderate."

"Let's all go back first. This prince will invite the other ministers to gather."

The officials in the imperial court were worried that Yuwen Di's actions would not affect the situation of the battle, and at that time, not only would their morale not rise, it would damage Duan Yunfei's reputation, which was not a good thing for Duan Yunfei or the Imperial Family.

"Minister Zuo, did you already know about this?" Prince Mu suddenly called out to the Minister of the Left who was about to return to his residence.

During the imperial court meeting, Minister Zuo and the Prince Mu stood together. When Yuwen Di said that news, the Prince Mu observed the Minister Zuo who was standing beside him, and realised that he was not surprised at all, and already had an answer in his heart.

"So it's the Prince Mu, you're right, this subject has already known about this matter."

Considering the relationship between Zuo Yuan and Duan Yunfei, Zuo Yuan must have told him. Mu Chuyang and the others had done good things since they were young, and they had even done bad things together. Could it be that Mu Chuyang knew of this matter, and had been hiding it from him?
