"When do we have to wait until, we already occupy thirty percent of the military forces and aren't afraid of the Empress's party. You should acknowledge kinship with the Emperor earlier and gain his support. You are the legitimate eldest son, inheriting the throne is your heaven-ordained duty, and once the Emperor recognizes you, we win."
"You think too simplistically," Jin Zijin said with a wry smile, "look at the current Emperor, has he won?"
"What do you mean?" Yue Rujing expressed his confusion, "Is the Emperor still threatened by others?"
"I don't want to become someone like him," Jin Zijin merely said faintly.
Not wanting to become like him thus made it even more difficult.
He had schemed his whole life, maintaining a superficial peace through mutual checks and balances and connections through married women.
To stir one part is to affect the whole, and isn't it also precarious?
