Father Emperor: "You unfilial son! What have you got to say for yourself?"
Song Ming looked at his father, his voice ringing with grief and indignation: "Father Emperor! I'm sorry, but I'm going to be emperor!"
I was the crown prince. Naively, I thought that as long as I kept my head down and behaved, I could take the throne smoothly once my father was gone.
But when you're sitting on the throne, even sitting still is a crime. My half-brothers envied me, treacherous ministers and petty villains wanted me dead. Even my own father was testing and making things difficult for me...
I backed down again and again, endured time and again, until there was nowhere left to retreat and nothing left to endure. I roared, "Father Emperor, I'm sorry, but I'm going to be emperor!"
