What's more, King Qi was sent to the Southern Border, which is easy to defend and hard to attack. Even if he captures the Southern Border, there won't be much benefit, and it's easy to get wounded, a thankless task.
At such a time, he became anxious because his political views couldn't gain traction in the court.
However, seeing that the Emperor did not reject Elder Zhong's words,
he felt uneasy, and reason advised him to remain silent.
Yet, he could not really watch Prince Rong and the other princes hold so much military power in the Northern Region.
One must know, the longer Prince Rong and the others remain in the Northern Region, the higher the chance they'll seize military power, which is detrimental to King Qi.
The situation has already been set, and in the short term, King Qi has no way to complete the unification of the Southern Border; naturally, he can't rush to the Northern Region.
As time passes, Prince Rong will inevitably gain fame in the Northern military camp.
