Chapter 181 - 180: The Traitorous Concubine and the Worthy Empress 15
Anning followed Prince Jin to the morning court again today.
As soon as Prince Jin and Anning sat down, several Ministers stepped forward to present their memorials.
Most of them pertained to Prince Jin and the request for grain from various countries.
Quite a few Ministers felt that Prince Jin was being too rash.
Even if grain was to be requested, it should not be from all countries at once, but rather, select a few to approach. Otherwise, it could lead to collective aggression against Jin Country, which would be unfavorable.
After all, Jin Country is currently experiencing a major disaster, with shortages of food and clothing everywhere, making it ill-suited for war.
Yet, some belligerent Ministers thought Prince Jin’s act of demanding grain was correct, for plundering other nations’ wealth to enrich one’s own is only natural. Even if it leads to war, Jin Country has never feared anyone.
These Ministers’ arguments became an indecipherable clamor.
Not to speak of Prince Jin, even Anning was beginning to develop a headache.
Prince Jin’s expression gradually soured.
Anning, who had been sitting by Prince Jin’s side and never said a word before, spoke up this time.
"Each of your points is well-founded. However, since Your Majesty has made a decree, how could we rescind the royal order? That would inevitably give the impression of inconsistent commands."
