He thought of the successor he had chosen.
Lang Cai was somewhat troubled. This man was not his son or relative, but the descendant of another veteran military figure in Myanmar, who had originally helped him gain power. That was a condition back then.
However, after taking office, he absorbed a great deal of power and promoted his allies. His influence had long surpassed that of the retired veteran.
He could now totally ignore this person, but that would appear quite ungrateful. And, the man's descendant was not too bad. Since the old veteran hadn't died, he had to consider this issue.
The most crucial point was that he had no sons.
That was the key.
He only had two daughters. He couldn't possibly push his sons-in-law to take over.
That would genuinely create trouble. He could typically have the final say in ordinary matters, and no one would dare to object. But to let those two useless sons-in-law take power -- that would be a complete mockery of Myanmar's fate.
