The court was in an uproar.
Xiao Jinxing's expression was also grave.
He said coldly, "Minister Gu, what do you think?"
As soon as Xiao Jinxing spoke, the others went silent.
The court was quiet for a moment.
All eyes turned to Gu Xingchuan.
Gu Xingchuan took a step forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I believe both ministers make valid points. However, I lean towards Minister Wang's opinion. After all, Your Majesty is the ruler of a nation, and it is inadvisable to hastily deploy troops. I think the Bai Family Army suffered only a temporary setback, not a complete defeat, not to the point of being utterly routed. Moreover, now that Your Majesty has sent General Xie Ruotong to the border, I believe that with General Xie's support, the Bai Family Army's morale will rise. I suggest we observe for a while longer, see the outcome of the next battle, and then decide whether Your Majesty needs to personally lead the troops."
"I agree," Wang Wen quickly chimed in.
