Honey, Let’s Bring Your Father-in-Law and Start a Rebellion!

Zhou Yang became the useless, non-primary-born Crown Prince of the Great Wu Dynasty. The emperor was always telling him, “You are the Crown Prince. I have high hopes for you, so you must work hard!” But he wasn’t the emperor’s primary-born son. How was that any different from telling an heir, “Your eldest brother is sick, so you must work hard”? Everyone knew the emperor favored the second prince, Prince Chu. Faced with the emperor’s empty promises and the other princes’ relentless pressure, Zhou Yang expanded the empire’s borders.

How can this be treason? Father, please follow the examples of Emperors Yao and Shun!”
