"Zhao Qiang, you know yourself if I'm speaking nonsense, and do you think no one knows what your intentions are…" Ye Zhun suddenly blurted out.

The people around him all began to shrink back in unease. The officials in their direct vicinity were particularly affected, like they were hung over a blazing fire and wanted to break free. However, court regulations bound them to their ranks, forbidding them from moving out of turn.

Damn it, it's the First Prince and the Seventh Prince! They've actually begun to quarrel in the middle of the court.

Even the upper and lower rank two officials in the hall were beginning to grow uneasy. Zhao Qiang might have been a minor official, but he had the First Prince backing him, and Ye Zhun had the Seventh Prince's support. In every dynasty, the War of the Princes had always been extremely intense. In this battle for the unequalled and supreme throne of the Emperor, all brotherhood and camaraderie had to stand to the side.

Although the First Prince currently held the most support, the other princes were still struggling mightily against him. The Fourth Prince had been the first to be exposed, having thought of the absurd idea of bringing the Hu Great Generals on the border into his battle against the First Prince. However, another prince had also been struggling just as much against the First Prince: the Seventh Prince, Li Huang.

It was forbidden by the Emperor for the princes to court the important officials of the court, but there was generally no problem if they tried to court minor ones. Lower rank three was generally the upper limit tolerated by the generations of sovereigns. For officials at this rank and below, the Emperors would turn a blind eye to the princes. It was now an unspoken rule of the War of the Princes.
