The Emperor of Wei burst into uninhibited laughter, showing not a shred of imperial dignity.
"Ha! Si Wuhui, oh Si Wuhui, you are far too impatient. Short of the State of Great Wei perishing, there is no way an outsider like you will ever sit on this throne. Even if I were to die, there are still other heirs of the royal Wu bloodline—the combined strength of their armies numbers well over a million. How do you expect to deal with them when the time comes? You want me to cede the throne to you? Keep dreaming. If you have the guts, kill me right now. Once you, Si Wuhui, are saddled with the crime of regicide, how will the common people view you? How will the court officials view you? You are far too naive. Whatever infighting happens within our royal family is strictly our own internal affair. But if an outsider attempts to usurp the throne, just watch and see if the other nations stand by idly! They will raise their armies to wage a punitive campaign against you, and they will make the whole world know that usurpers come to no good end! These are the rules of the game, and if you break them, you must accept the punishment. I truly want to see how an illegitimate, petty usurper like you manages to secure this imperial seat."
Si Wuhui's expression remained completely indifferent as he pointed toward Prince of Wu standing off to the side.
