2795: C2795 Killing Two Birds with One Stone

C2795 Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Princess Qi was slightly flustered in the face of this situation. After all, just as the others thought, Princess Qi was just a princess in the Imperial Palace who was not familiar with the affairs of the world. She had never experienced anything major, but now, she was suddenly viewed as an enemy by the Prince. To her, it was also not a small pressure.2

However, Princess Qi calmed down very quickly because... This kind of situation could be said that she had already expected it. Although it was said that because of the matter of shoveling the Wu family, it allowed her to gain some prestige among the crowd. However, not everyone was convinced of her in their hearts. Not to mention that this matter involved the throne. Some people had different opinions. That was very normal, especially those princes.

As princes, who wouldn't want to be the emperor and the existence above ten thousand people? It could be said that all the princes had the same thought. And these princes didn't have any obvious advantages, as anyone could be the emperor. In other words, no one would be convinced of who became the emperor. They would all oppose it. After all, they didn't think they would lose the election.

Therefore, even if the person chosen by Princess Qi was not the Eighth Prince. The other princes would also object. But... Maybe the eighth prince's status was a bit low... Therefore... The princes' objections were more intense. There was not much of a difference.

Because of this, Princess Qi quickly calmed down. She looked at the princes and said, "Do you all think that you are suitable?"

All the princes nodded. At this time, it was not the time to be humble. Who could feel that they were inferior to the others?

However, the Eighth Prince was somewhat anxious. It was not easy for Princess Qi to choose him. Why did something go wrong at this time? Of course, he did not wish for any accidents to happen.

However, although the Eighth Prince was anxious, there was nothing he could do. Because Li Fei's status in the harem was low, his position wasn't very high either. Thus, normally, there were no ministers who were too close to him. Among the princes, the right to speak was not very high. It could be said that... Whether he could ascend to the throne was entirely up to Princess Qi's opinion. With Princess Qi's support, he still had a chance to ascend to the throne. If he did not have Princess Qi's support, then he had no hope at all. To ascend to that position.

Therefore, at this time, even if he spoke, it would not have any effect. He could only be anxious. At the same time, he hoped that Princess Qi could hold on to her own opinion and not be persuaded by the other princes.

"All of you think that you are suitable, but there is only one throne. No matter who I choose, I think all of you will object," Princess Qi continued.

Those princes did not speak. Clearly, Princess Qi had hit the nail on the head in their hearts.

"But do all of you think that you are stronger than Eight His Highness the Prince?" Princess Qi asked, "Which one of you thinks you are stronger than Eight His Highness the Prince? What is stronger? Tell me."

"I am better at handling politics than him." His Royal Highness the First Prince was the first to speak.

"I am also good at dealing with politics." The Third Prince also said. Obviously, the most important thing for a prince was to deal with politics. As for the rest, it was just an addition.

"Political affairs?" Princess Qi's expression did not change as she said, "Right now, the political matters that our Great Lu Dynasty needs to deal with the most are the rebel forces within the borders. How about this, since you all feel that you are very capable. Then, each person will lead a team and choose a city. Whoever can drive out the rebels in the city will be the emperor. What do you think? "

Everyone in the hall fell silent. Obviously, they did not expect Princess Qi to do this.

Actually, Princess Qi did this because Huang Feng reminded her. No matter if it was her or Huang Feng, they had already expected it. After Princess Qi chose the Eighth Prince, there would definitely be some princes who would object. And with Princess Qi's current power and influence, she wanted to express these objections. It was not impossible to suppress all of them. However, if she did that, there would be many hidden dangers.

Initially, Princess Qi felt that with her prestige in the Great Lu Dynasty, it's easy to decide who the throne belongs to. However, Huang Feng reminded her that the other princes... Even if they were convinced on the surface, it was inevitable that they would have other thoughts in private. And those ministers, even if they did not say anything on the surface, however, they might not really trust the Eighth Prince. After all... However, the Eighth Prince did not reveal too much of his talent before this.

After Huang Feng's reminder, Princess Qi finally realized that she had simplified the matter. One should know that she was planning to wait until the matter here was resolved. When the time came, she wouldn't be able to suppress the people who left with Huang Feng. If the other princes or even the ministers were to oppose the Eighth Prince... If she were to disobey the Eighth Prince's orders, she wouldn't have harmed the Eighth Prince. She had harmed the Great Lu Dynasty? Perhaps the Great Lu Dynasty would fall into internal strife because of this.

Therefore, she definitely could not force the Eighth Prince onto the stage so hastily. After that, Huang Feng gave her this suggestion, and Princess Qi agreed without thinking.

To Princess Qi and to the Great Lu Dynasty, this was a killing two birds with one stone idea. They could choose the Great Lu Dynasty, New Emperor, and suppress the rebel army within the borders. How could Princess Qi object?

The reason why Huang Feng suggested this was because he thought of what Old Emperor had done in the Fengjue Country. In fact, what Old Emperor had done in the Fengjue Country was not wrong. However, they had encountered Huang Feng, a huge variable. This had led to the failure of his plan. Otherwise... With the Fengjue Country's strength, even if they were to split up, they would still be able to wipe out the other countries outside of the pass. As for Old Emperor, he would be able to smoothly choose the most suitable person to be the Emperor.

However, they just happened to meet Huang Feng.

After Huang Feng made this suggestion, he was afraid that the Great Lu Dynasty would have the same situation as the Fengjue Country. One should know that... Currently, the army of the Great Lu Dynasty was facing the rebel army. They did not have much of an advantage anymore. The rebel army's equipment had become better. Their numbers had increased, but their combat strength had yet to rise in a short period of time.

However, the princes of the Great Lu Dynasty did not have much experience in leading troops to war. It was just like Wu Yan from before. Therefore, Huang Feng was really afraid that they would be like the Fengjue Country from before. If they were defeated one by one by the rebel forces, he wouldn't be helping Princess Qi. He would be helping the Great Lu Dynasty, but harming them.

Therefore, after making this suggestion, Huang Feng also asked Princess Qi. Whether or not she really thought highly of the Eighth Prince, the answer that Princess Qi gave was naturally definite. With Princess Qi's words, Huang Feng planned to secretly help the Eighth Prince. If that was the case, it would be difficult for the Eighth Prince to lose even if he wanted to. And... In this case... After the final result, the other princes and ministers... There was no point in having any objections. The forces within the Great Lu Dynasty would be eliminated as well.

This was truly killing two birds with one stone!
