The Sum Emperor glanced over the crowd and, seeing that no one seemed to have anything more to say, he spoke up, "The matter of the Crown Prince concerns the very foundation of our nation and requires careful deliberation. We shall not discuss it today."
Upon hearing the Sum Emperor's words, Zhao Wenhan did not continue to speak either; he had only been talking for the sake of it, and besides, he could not possibly support the North Prince.
There were only a few court officials who would support the North Prince.
Ordinary princes, even those not involved in the struggle for succession, might have some interactions with the ministers, but the North Prince was an oddity; he had no dealings with any minister, so who would support him?
Apart from the Chu Family possibly being tempted, the support base of the other princes remained largely unchanged.
