Gao Lingfeng hurriedly said, "But if this goes on, where will the court's dignity be?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled slightly, "The court's dignity is forged through the military. Indeed, the Eastern Territory is becoming more and more unruly."
The Eastern Territory has indeed reached a point where change is necessary.
But how to change, and who will make the change, are the real issues.
No one wants to touch the Eastern Territory.
Members of the royal family and high-ranking officials know that dealing with the Eastern Territory is akin to poking a hornet's nest; it is destined to have a bad outcome.
Chu Zhiyuan certainly has no inclination to do so.
As the Princely Heir himself feels this way, let alone others.
Counting on his fingers, only a few princes could handle it.
But these princes wouldn't bother with such matters.
The Emperor trusts Chu Qingyan and Chu Qingfeng the most; they each have their own responsibilities.
