"Okay! I agree!" After a moment of silence, First Prince spoke first.0

Although he was the first to speak out against Princess Qi establishing the eighth prince, however, that was an act of anger. In fact, he was well aware of Princess Qi's current position in the Great Lu Dynasty Imperial Court. If Princess Qi did not care about his objection, she insisted on establishing the eighth prince. Then, First Prince believed that he and the other princes... There was no way to stop the officials in the Imperial Court. Perhaps they would hesitate, but in the end, no one would stand out to oppose it. After all, the powerful Wu Yan had just been dealt with by Princess Qi. Those ministers did not think that they were more powerful than Wu Yan.

Therefore, as long as Princess Qi insisted on her own opinion... Then... The eighth prince's ascension was unstoppable. The only thing he could do was... He could only be angry in his heart. At the same time, he would be against some of the Eighth Prince's decrees in the future. In fact, it would not change much.

But now, Princess Qi had suggested that they should follow their own abilities. This made First Prince see hope. After all, he was very confident in his abilities. As a Great Lu Dynasty, it was impossible for him not to be confident. The environment that he grew up in had decided him. His ears were filled with all kinds of praises. So... He had always been very confident.

Furthermore, this was indeed an opportunity. It was better than letting Princess Qi directly establish the eighth prince, right?

"I agree too!"

"I agree!"

The other princes also reacted at this moment. They said the same thing as First Prince. They were very confident in their own abilities. They felt that they would definitely be able to defeat the other princes and obtain that position. Naturally, they wouldn't give up. At this moment... If she opposed Princess Qi's suggestion, then she would be furious. If they forcefully supported the Eighth Prince to take the throne, then there was nothing they could do to stop it. Therefore, Princess Qi's idea was very beneficial to them.

The ministers in the hall also had no objections to Princess Qi's suggestion. Many of them were even surprised that Princess Qi could make such a suggestion.

In the eyes of everyone, Princess Qi was currently in the Great Lu Dynasty Imperial Court. Even if the other princes were unhappy, they had a lot of say in this matter. Princess Qi could also forcefully support the Eighth Prince to ascend the throne. Just as the other princes thought, these ministers did not dare to do so at this time. They were going against Princess Qi. After all, Wu Yan's corpse was not completely cold yet. That was the lesson that was laid out in front of them.

However, none of these ministers had thought that Princess Qi would not choose to forcefully support the Eighth Prince to ascend the throne. Instead, she chose such a method, which surprised all the officials. They also admired Princess Qi's bearing and her intelligence in their hearts.

This was indeed a win-win situation. It could suppress the Rebellion Force within the territory. It could also distinguish the abilities of the princes and choose the most suitable person. At that time, if anyone was chosen as the Emperor, the others wouldn't have any complaints or dissatisfaction. Because, this was earned with their own abilities.

Hence, these ministers naturally would not oppose Princess Qi's suggestion at this time. In fact, they were very satisfied with it.

At this moment, the one who was the most unhappy and dissatisfied in the entire hall was the Eighth Prince. Of course, the dissatisfaction of the Eighth Prince was not directed at Princess Qi but towards the other princes.

Initially, the Eighth Prince had already given up hope and thought that he had been eliminated by Princess Qi. However, he did not expect that Princess Qi would unexpectedly choose him. This made the Eighth Prince overjoyed and excited.

However, before he could celebrate, the other princes voiced their objections. This made the Eighth Prince very angry. If it was another prince who was selected... If someone objected, the Eighth Prince wouldn't have too much of a feeling. However, the one who had been rejected... But him... He was very close to that position. In the end, the other princes were unwilling to see him in that position... This naturally made the Eighth Prince angry.

After that, he saw that Princess Qi was indeed unable to withstand the siege of so many princes. After choosing to compromise, the Eighth Prince was angry and helpless. Regarding this situation, he had no choice. He was alone. On this matter, the other princes were obviously on the same side. This made him feel helpless.

Furthermore, the other princes all agreed with Princess Qi's opinion. If he opposed it, in other people's eyes, it would be as if he was afraid and had no confidence. This was obviously not possible.

Therefore, in the end, the Eighth Prince could only helplessly agree.

"Alright, since all of you agree, then this matter will be settled!" Princess Qi said.

Everyone naturally did not object anymore.

At this moment, a messenger suddenly ran in from outside and shouted from afar, "Eight hundred miles per hour!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked. To be able to use "eight hundred li! Haste" was obviously an urgent matter. To the current Great Lu Dynasty, this was an urgent matter. The most urgent matter was naturally the matter of the rebel forces within the borders. Could it be... What had happened there?

Everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Indeed, when that soldier was allowed to go to the palace, he gave everyone terrible news. That was, the army at the front line had once again been defeated by the rebel forces led by Wang Cheng. Although it wasn't as bad as Wu Yan's defeat this time, but... It was a great loss.

"How could this be?" Princess Qi said in a panic. She did not think that it would be like this.

She thought that the situation at the front line should be relatively stable. That was why she decided to let these princes each choose a direction for the rebel army. To fight and suppress them. In Princess Qi's opinion, although not all the princes could succeed... But... There wouldn't be any danger. After all, the power of the Great Lu Dynasty Imperial Court... Still got the upper hand.

However, the news she received had shaken her thoughts. It was understandable that Wu Yan had lost. After all, he did not know how to command. However, the commanders at the frontline were all experienced generals. There were no outsiders to guide them, so why did they still lose? And... He was also defeated miserably, which was a little unreasonable.

Then, could the matter of the proposal from before continue?

Princess Qi's heart was somewhat hesitant.
