It took a good while before someone dared to speak up weakly: "Prince San, why not consider the long-term plan?"
"Indeed, this action is far too risky."
"Please, Prince, think it over thrice!"
The crowd agreed in unison.
Seeing that each and every one of them was disagreeing with him, Prince San's facial expression quickly became overcast, flinging his sleeve and cursing in anger: "A bunch of cowards!"
"The greater the risk, the greater the reward. Haven't you ever heard that saying?"
"Haven't you considered that now within the entire imperial court, I am the only prince left? Isn't the throne destined to be mine sooner or later? Therefore, wouldn't it be better for me to ascend to the throne earlier rather than later? Or do you all truly wish to wait until several decades later for me to ascend, then grant ranks and titles to you supporters who will be old and senile, or perhaps even dead by that time?"
He roared angrily.
