"No," the Eighth Prince answered very confidently, "The Emperor would never let the four Great Generals get involved in the struggle between you and Prince Dai. Besides, Prince Dai has already made outstanding military achievements on the battlefield and holds military power; he doesn't need the support of military officers."
