Chapter 522: A Golden Phoenix Flies Out of the Grassy Nest (1)_1
"Indeed, Prime Minister is right." Another official stepped forward, "As long as we control Daqin’s grain supply to the Northern Land, Prince Ling will inevitably continue to seek help from the Emperor. In this way, the situation in the Northern Land remains in the Emperor’s control."
"I agree with the Prime Minister and Minister’s suggestion. Even if the Northern Land is capable of growing rice, it cannot be largely cultivated due to the climate, and the yield will definitely not be higher than that of Jiangnan. Despite the vastness of the Northern Land, its population remains sparse. Even if Prince Ling had supernatural powers, he would not be able to solve the problems of population and climate. As long as the Emperor takes appropriate precautions, Prince Ling will naturally not dare to harbor evil intentions when seeking the Emperor’s help." Officials stepped forward one by one, all echoing the words of the Prime Minister and Minister of Rites.
Both of these individuals belong to the Crown Prince faction.
As the future Crown Prince, he of course needs to be appeased.
"In my humble opinion, we should not alienate the Northern Land entirely." There were those who disagreed, for every person in favor.
The Crown Prince, with a gloomy face looked at those in opposition, who were supporters of the third prince, and felt especially displeased, "According to Minister Yin’s opinion, should we support Prince Ling’s grain supply?"
The reigning Emperor heard this and his face darkened.
Supporting Prince Ling is tantamount to harboring ill intentions towards the Emperor, isn’t it? No Emperor would ever tolerate an official with such treasonous intentions.
