Chapter 405 The Brave and Loyal Army of the Great Hua Empire
The Emperor slightly moved his countenance, pausing to ponder for a long while before saying, "Lin San, why are you so certain? You've heard Prince Cheng's opinion. This matter concerns the very lifeblood of our Great Hua. We must not take it lightly. In this time of crisis, if we divide our forces to Goryeo, won't we put our Great Hua in peril? What do you think?"
Lin San was widely knowledgeable, and others had heard of him. Seeing that his opinion was at odds with Prince Cheng's, the courtiers were instantly intrigued, eager to hear what he would say.
"As Prince Cheng said, everything has two sides. His Highness has seen the threat from Dongyin, considering the safety of our Great Hua. His loyalty and wisdom can serve as a model for the world," Lin Wanrong laughed, metaphorically patting the prince on the back without spending a cent. "However, from another angle, might this not be a grand opportunity created by Dongyin for our Great Hua?"
"Opportunity?" The courtiers were momentarily puzzled. The people of Dongyin had reached Goryeo, and Lin San was calling it an opportunity? Had he gone mad? The Emperor frowned, "What do you mean by opportunity, Lin San? Come forward and explain more clearly."
Lin Wanrong took a few steps closer, glimpsing through the curtain at the gentle and calm woman inside, feeling a sense of familiarity welling up in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I will not mention the strategic importance of Goryeo's geographical location, as Miss Xu has already explained it clearly. Sending troops to Goryeo is not merely a tactical need; it's a strategic deterrence, firmly stating the attitude of our Great Hua. We will never allow anyone to create chaos under our watch."
Prince Cheng smiled slightly, saying, "Lord Lin's action is indeed to uphold the dignity of our Empire. But sending troops to Goryeo not only consumes our manpower and resources but also poses a great danger to our Great Hua. To exhaust the national treasury and strength for mere fame is something we must approach with caution."
How could upholding national pride be more important than maintaining the stability of Great Hua? Prince Cheng's words hit the nail on the head, and the courtiers nodded in agreement.
