Jackson's face darkened upon hearing this, and he almost punched Leizer. This was a roundabout way of accusing their Crodo family of rebellion!

Tirell immediately restrained his eldest brother, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said coldly, "Your Majesty, although His Highness the Crown Prince is highly capable, as the foundation of the nation, he cannot be away from the capital for a long time. The risk is too great if he is targeted by assassins. It would be better to select a border king from among the princes to sit in the northwest."

Tirell's move was very clever, advancing by retreating. On the surface, it was for the sake of the Crown Prince's safety, but in reality, he also intended to first bring the Crown Prince back to the capital.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Emperor Gustav couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Soren had indeed encountered quite a few assassinations after inheriting the position of Crown Prince.

The ministers on both sides expressed their opinions, and the debate became increasingly fierce. Minister Holman stood up and said excitedly, "Crown Prince Soren's achievements on the frontier have already proven his ability. We should trust his ability and support him to continue staying on the frontier."

Minister Neumann retorted, "Although Crown Prince Soren has achieved success on the frontier, his political experience and ability to handle government affairs in the capital still need to be improved. Recalling Crown Prince Soren and cultivating him into an all-round monarch is a blessing for the empire."

He agreed with Shelby's point of view, not wanting to transfer Soren back to the capital, but genuinely worried about Soren being assassinated, especially since even a Sword Saint had appeared.

Compared to the other princes, after this period of contact, Neumann had to admit Soren's excellence.

From this, it can be seen that the old nobles and some of the new nobles in the Northwest had put in a lot of effort this time.

"Reineski! Brel! What do you two think?" Emperor Gustav's gaze swept over the two imperial ministers, his tone carrying a hint of expectation.

Reineski took a deep look at Gustav. He understood that the Emperor's mind had wavered, so after pondering for a moment, he replied, "Your Majesty, I support Minister Neumann's suggestion. Everything should be for the sake of His Highness the Crown Prince's safety."

Brel sighed slightly, his voice echoing in the hall, clear and powerful: "Your Majesty, it must not be done. The Northwest has just been stabilized, and it needs a strong prince like His Highness the Crown Prince to sit in the Northwest to ensure that the Northwest does not descend into chaos. Not to mention the orc army of the Northern Wilderness is eyeing us covetously. If one tribe of orcs dares to come today, two or even three tribes will dare to come tomorrow."

Brel's words immediately plunged the hall into silence.

The orc threat from the Northern Wilderness had always been a chronic problem for the empire.

Jackson was overjoyed upon hearing Brel's words. He stood up and shouted excitedly, "Your Majesty, this makes it even more necessary to transfer His Highness the Crown Prince back to the capital. In the event of a large-scale orc invasion, with His Highness the Crown Prince's character, he will definitely lead the army to resist. There are countless strong orcs. The consequences are unimaginable if His Highness is noticed by a strong orc."

The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly tense, and everyone's eyes revealed different emotions.

Some were worried about the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Some were worried about the stability of the Northwest.

Some were worried about the threat of the orcs.

Brel's voice echoed in the hall as he shouted, "Your Majesty, why not transfer His Highness back to the capital and listen to his opinion, or perhaps he has a good solution."

Horns also stood up to express his agreement, his voice steady and firm: "Your Majesty, it is best to listen to His Highness the Crown Prince himself."

Brel and Horns' words clearly touched Emperor Gustav's heartstrings.

The Imperial Bank was jointly established by Crown Prince Soren and the Imperial Finance Academy and is being developed in the Northwest.

It is said that the development momentum has been good recently, and it has also created a large number of official positions. Once the Imperial Bank model is determined to be promoted nationwide, the benefits contained in it are immeasurable.

Emperor Gustav nodded slightly, his mind already made up.

This issue was not only related to the safety of Crown Prince Soren but also to the development and future of the empire.

He decided to listen to Crown Prince Soren's opinion and see if he had a better solution.

"Issue an order to have His Highness the Crown Prince return to the capital immediately," Emperor Gustav's voice rang out in the hall, with an unquestionable majesty.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed, and the ministers nodded one after another. They knew that the Emperor's decision had been made.

News of Soren's recall to the capital for duty had just been sent back from the main hall, and the imperial palace was immediately in turmoil.

Nicholas had clearly realized that he could no longer compete with Soren, so he began to plan to be sent out as a border prince, and the Northwest was a good choice.

The Northwest region is vast and sparsely populated, but the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. This allowed Prince Kellen to prepare for rebellion in the Northwest without the empire receiving any news.

What's more, there are still hundreds of thousands of imperial troops stationed there.

Nicholas believed that once he took over the Northwest, it would be much easier to start work, and it could even be said that he was going to the Northwest to reap Soren's rewards.

Nicholas couldn't help but feel excited as he thought about this. He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity that would allow him to regain power from Soren.

He began to carefully plan how to successfully take over the Northwest and how to quickly establish his own power after Soren left.

Nicholas's reaction was extremely fast, but just as he was about to go to Consort Maria to ask his mother to speak to his father about this matter, Consort Nina had already gone to the Holy Emblem Palace to request a fief for her eldest son from Emperor Gustav.

"Your Majesty, I don't ask for much, just two or three regions centered on Fulga City will do," Consort Nina's voice was firm and decisive. She understood that her request was not excessive, and since she was seeking a fief for her eldest son Samuel, it was naturally impossible to request a fief at the standard of a border prince.

Two or three regions are not even a quarter of a province. This request is really not high.

However, the selection of Fulga City made Gustav very upset.

The Northwest Fertilizer Workshop, the Northwest Branch of the Imperial Bank, and the Northwest Branch of the Imperial Development Chamber of Commerce are all in Fulga City.

Consort Nina was trying to reap the rewards, but she never thought that the largest shareholder of these three companies was Emperor Gustav.

After hearing this, Emperor Gustav pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Consort Nina, I will consider your request. Fulga City is an important town in the Northwest, and its geographical location is important. I need to discuss it with the ministers."
