This time, everyone summoned knew that the Emperor was testing them. For a moment, not only did Prince Lu, Prince Xin, Prince Li express their opinions, but even Prince Lu's son and Prince Xin's son had insightful thoughts.
The Emperor listened to their systematic discussions and felt quite satisfied, asking, "We still need an imperial envoy for the disaster relief this time. Are any of you willing to help alleviate my burdens?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sudden silence in the room.
Prince Lu, Prince Xin, and Prince Li exchanged glances, each harboring their own thoughts. They understood that this time, Father wasn't testing them; he was trying to send someone away.
Father summoned all the vassal kings back to the Capital City for his birthday, making it too obvious—it was to establish the Crown Prince.
