"Wow, starting off with a Duke?! An unrelated royal? That's quite a bold claim! Does that mean you look down on marquises? What audacity!"
Sang Qingxiao spoke up, "Since the founding of the Great Jing Dynasty, the only unrelated royal has been the Sang Family. Not to mention how the Sang Family ended up. Initially, they were among those who established the Great Jing Dynasty alongside the Founding Emperor and have defended its borders for nearly a century. Their contributions are countless."
"Now, let's talk about a few Duke's Residences in the Court. Some have bravely fought against enemies, while others have established the dynasty's governance. Whether through literature or martial prowess, they have all made outstanding contributions to the Great Jing Dynasty."
"Compared to them, what has your husband done? Has he ever contributed anything to the Great Jing Dynasty? With nothing to offer, he still dreams of rising to greatness. How can you even say such things?"
He Chuan Princess was displeased. "Who says my husband hasn't contributed? Once he has a title, he will symbolize the bridge between the martial world and the court."
"Are you suggesting that Qi Hao plans to bring the martial world under the court's rule? Do the heads of other families know about this plan? Have they agreed to it?"
"What about those wandering scholars in the martial world? They yearn for freedom and would agree to accept the court's constraints?"
He Chuan Princess continued her argument, "These matters can be discussed gradually. The gap between the martial world and the court cannot be bridged overnight. Qi Hao's willingness to get close to the court is already a good start."
"Oh, so you want to take advantage without any effort? You haven't done anything yet, and you expect to gain such significant benefits right away? Where's your sense of propriety?"
He Chuan Princess thought about her purpose for coming here and suppressed her anger as she defended herself. "Who says we are trying to take advantage without effort? The court grants titles; while we benefit from it, it's also for those in the martial world to see. If this title can be granted to Qi Hao, it can also be granted to them. With wealth and power as temptations before them, persuading them with reason and emotion will be easy."
"Ha! What a beautiful thought! The court has titles but doesn't grant them to those who have made contributions; instead, they give them to these nameless individuals from the martial world. If everyone in your world is satisfied, there will surely be chaos among court officials and even among commoners!"
At this moment, He Chuan felt that this idea was quite good and wore a smug expression on her face. "Let them cause trouble; we can suppress it! There are plenty of capable people in the martial world. If our guards can't handle it, those from the martial world would be more than willing to help out—wouldn't that count as a great achievement?"
"Oh, I see now! First invade the court, then eliminate dissenters. Once you've cleared out everyone around His Majesty, is your next step to seize power?"
He Chuan glared angrily at this accusation. "Don't speak nonsense! How can you label us with such baseless charges? People from the martial world are not bandits; they are reasonable individuals. This is clearly a situation where everyone benefits. If someone wants to cause trouble, it will surely be a minority. Just silencing a few will promote harmony between the martial world and the court—what's wrong with that?"
Sang Qingxiao no longer wanted to argue with someone who seemed mentally challenged on this point. Taking control of the conversation, she asked, "Did Qi Hao send you here to say all this?"
"No!" He Chuan vehemently denied it.
She shook her head so quickly that one might think she believed no one could see through her guilt.
