"Daqian belongs to the Borjigit Clan. If a Mulan becomes the Emperor, then it is no longer Daqian. So, Lord State Preceptor, are you supporting the Mulan State or solely the Borjigit Clan's empire?"
"You must think this through carefully!"
Ruyang King looked at Basiba, who remained silent.
Ruyang King continued, "The Vassal King stabilizes the borders, not primarily against the Han, but also suppresses powerful ministers. The State Preceptor has supported the country for a century. You cannot be unaware of the purpose of the Heavenly Khan when he established the Vassal King to guard the borders?"
"Civil servants tackle outsiders; if civil servants grow strong, then the Vassal King suppresses them. This was the Heavenly Khan's goal."
"Now, Tuotuo controls the civil affairs single-handedly. If the Vassal King is also removed, is this kingdom still ours, the Borjigit Clan's?"
