When the civil servants who supported the King of Jin heard this, they immediately argued: "Vice General Shen, you are simply trying to embolden others' ambition and destroy your own prestige.
Could it be that in your heart, only King Li can compete with Feng Lingtian?
Doesn’t it mean that our Chu country doesn’t have any talents except King Li?”
"His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, made some small mistakes before, but who has no fault?
It is said that once you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is no greater good. His Royal Highness, King Jin, has already repented and grown into a mature father since he had his children.
He has been familiar with military literature in recent days, and Feng Lingtian only brought 30,000 soldiers this time. We can give His Highness the King of Jin 50,000 elite soldiers, so that he can lead more troops than Feng Lingtian.
If General Yu and other experienced generals are sent to accompany the army, and with General Yu and others as escort, His Highness the King of Jin will surely win the battle!"
"Yes, so we support King Jin."
"No, we don't support King Jin, we only support King Li."
"It's so funny that you can become more powerful just by having heirs. Haven't you heard the saying that it's easy to change a country but hard to change one's nature?
War is not a child's play, you must be cautious and ensure nothing goes wrong, so we recommend Prince Li."
At this time, the court was divided into two groups, and they started arguing fiercely in the court hall, which suddenly turned into a pot of porridge.
Those who support King Jin are all the emperor's people, and this is the emperor's tacit approval.
The emperor now doesn't want Chu Xuanchen to make meritorious deeds at all, so of course they have to support King Jin.
As for the people who support Chu Xuanchen, most of them are neutrals. They really love the country and the people. They don't want an arrogant person like King Jin to ruin the war, so they argue with reason and must go to the reliable Chu Xuanchen.
When King Jin saw so many people supporting him, he looked arrogant and complacent.
Chu Xuanchen always stood there calmly and indifferently. His expression was unpredictable, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Seeing that everyone was arguing, Emperor Hongyuan said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't argue anymore!"
As soon as the emperor spoke, everyone quickly fell silent and retreated to their seats.
Emperor Hongyuan glanced at King Jin, and then glanced at Chu Xuanchen. When he looked at Chu Xuanchen, a gleam of sharpness flashed in his eyes.
Chu Xuanchen's trip to the south of the Yangtze River to control floods has already accumulated a lot of public support.
He already has great achievements and is powerful in the world. If he is allowed to lead troops in battle again, once he wins the battle, I am afraid that his prestige will reach an unprecedented height.
At that time, if Chu Xuanchen wants to do something, he only needs to raise his arms and shout, and thousands of people will respond.
He couldn't even imagine that kind of scene.
Chu Xuanchen has now become his biggest threat, and he will never let him have another chance to make meritorious deeds.
Moreover, Feng Lingtian only brought 30,000 troops and horses this time. As long as he gave King Jin enough troops and horses, and sent Yu Biao and others to protect King Jin, he would definitely help King Jin win.
Thinking of this, he said: "My dear friends, King Li has a brilliant record and rich experience. Talents like him should be used in larger wars.
Killing a chicken with a bull's-eye. This is just a small-scale battle. It should also give others a chance to practice.
The imperial court needs more talents to prevent talents from withering away.
I feel that King Jin needs some experience, dear friends, can you let King Jin go to the battlefield and give it a try?"
When Su Ming heard this, he raised his eyelids and said: "Your Majesty is wise, Feng Lingtian doesn't have many soldiers and horses, and they can't create a good atmosphere. King Jin should be allowed to practice.
King Li has rich experience and usually only fights big battles. There is no need for him in small battles like this.
And if we don’t train other people and cultivate more good generals for Chu State, if something happens to King Li in the future, won’t our Chu State have no generals to use?”
Others also agreed, "Master Su is right, the Tiansheng Kingdom's national strength is average, and it cannot be consumed in war all the time.
Even Feng Lingtian doesn't dare to move with all his strength. He only dares to harass us at the border as usual, just to get some benefits.
So this time, you can send Prince Jin to exercise!"
