The words of King Ping satisfied Lin Suqing immensely, skillfully turning a simple resistance task into a mission of great significance and arduous challenge. He managed to blend the attitudes of both a subject and a son in his performance, neither overly aggressive nor excessively weak. It seemed that his eloquence had been underestimated before.
The Emperor's face was tranquil and pleased, indicating he was quite content.
Taking advantage of the moment, Lin Suqing pressed further, "Your Majesty, it is rare for King Ping to show such dedication to his duties. In my opinion, the task of resistance could be entrusted to King Ping."
As soon as the Crown Prince spoke, ministers allied with his faction quickly echoed the suggestion.
"King Ping is a young and gallant hero, who has already distinguished himself and achieved commendable military exploits. I also agree that the task of resisting the Tujue can be entrusted to King Ping to lead."
"I second the motion."
