"Why don't we give this recruitment spot to that Ji Ziyin?" He suggested a compromise. He glanced at everyone and continued, "Aren't you fighting over it because you think that the Privy Council can't recruit two newcomers a year? We also said that we won't go back on our word… In my opinion, we should give this spot to her directly. This way, only one newcomer will be needed this year. We'll also have an explanation for the Empress."
He did not mention the most important reason—a person's influence in the Privy Council was limited!
If only one newcomer came in this time, then it would be impossible for the Empress to do anything in the Privy Council through them.
The two sides temporarily discussed the feasibility of this method.
The Empress was very important to the hidden families. It was indeed not good for them to embarrass her openly.
