"Moreover, Gu Jingchun now possesses the blueprints for our Dacheng weapons, and in the previous competition, she defeated the weapons of Daqi. If such a woman cannot be the empress, then I ask Lord Situ, who should be the empress?"

Situ Qinghe's breath hitched.

"But her father..."

"So what?"

Grand Tutor Wang refuted this.

"She is herself, and her father is her father. Back then, the late emperor did not punish her, so why does Lord Situ want to punish him now?"

"Or does Lord Situ believe that you are superior to the late Emperor?"

These words left Situ Qinghe speechless.

After all, who can compare to the late emperor?

But Old Master Wang's words did not end there.

"Furthermore, has Lord Situ considered this?"

"If a woman like Gu Jingchun, who possesses blueprints for various weapons, were not made Empress of our Great Cheng, but instead kidnapped by someone with ulterior motives, or taken away by the Great Qi, what a great threat that would be to our Great Cheng!"

"Is the position of an empress more important than the millions of people in our Great Cheng?"

After Grand Tutor Wang finished speaking, all the ministers present fell silent.

No one refuted this, after all, who would dare to disregard the plight of millions of ordinary people?

The entire court was silent.

Situ Qinghe and Jiang Chongfan lowered their heads, their faces unusually grim.

Shen Hechuan's complexion was surprisingly good at this moment.

Old ginger is spicier!

When Grand Tutor Wang makes a move, who can stand against him!

Shen Hechuan nodded.
