One of the courtiers suggested that the Second Prince should send troops to attack Shao Yunduan, but the Second Prince dismissed the idea. He said that the biggest enemy was the Fourth Prince's rebellious faction in the capital. There was no need to take any other actions until the Fourth Prince's rebels were eliminated.
Frustrated, the Second Prince declared that anyone who continued to push this matter would have to stand up and issue a military order to lead the troops to attack Huaixi province themselves. Unless they could guarantee an easy victory, they would only be benefiting the Fourth Prince's rebels in the north by expending too many troops and resources in Huaixi province.
"If anyone thinks it's easy to take down Huaixi province, let them go ahead!" he challenged. "As long as they can capture Huaixi province with minimal losses, they will certainly be conferred the title of marquis!"
At this, the loudest advocates fell silent.
