Yuan Xiu walked up to Wen Tai and said, "Left Prime Minister, speak!"
"I suggest Your Majesty establish an empress first, and then shut these ministers up," Wen Tai had already prepared his words.
"Then wouldn't that mean I've compromised?" Yuan Xiu asked.
Wen Tai analyzed, "His Majesty was caught off guard this time and had no contingency plan. Continuing to confront them head-on will only damage the court's vitality. It would be better to retreat in order to advance and make further plans."

"Huh?" Mu Shanyue was a little confused, and quickly said, "This old minister congratulates Your Majesty, the foundation of the nation is in hope!"
