Rong Ruiyuan said, "A general amnesty is simply not enough. Gu Baijiang, that old fox, won't loosen his grip unless he sees real benefits."
Consort Liang was also vexed, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't lose her mind either. "Gu Baijiang also wants to find a way out for his family. At this time, you must patiently placate him. Don't forget, your other brothers are all watching like hawks. Right now, Gu Baijiang is crucial. You have to make him submit, and also use this matter to show the court officials that only by following you can they have a future."
Rong Ruiyuan said, "Just pardoning their current status means when they return to the capital, they are mere commoners. I'm afraid Gu Baijiang won't be satisfied."
"You can tell that Gu fellow all the efforts you've made recently, letting him know that even if he turns to other princes, unless your father the Emperor agrees, no one can do anything.
