"Emperor, choose the virtuous for the empress! You battled to the death in the war, while the Princess hid somewhere unknown, and Beiling provided not the slightest help to our Great Wei! Making her the empress, would this not chill the hearts of our Great Wei's soldiers?"
"Emperor, although Beiling did not send troops to assist, our weapons were all forged from Beiling's iron mines. The siege weapons we used in battle were taught to our army by General Long Ze of Beiling, who shared all he knew about forging them. We cannot ignore the goodwill Beiling has shown towards Great Wei!"
"Indeed, Emperor! We should not unjustly deprive the Princess of her rightful position as empress because of the Li family!"
