Looking at princes readily available, including the emperor-to-be crown prince, was it even possible to identify one that was actually capable?
The crown prince was a successor decided by Yu Peize himself. Shouldn't he at least have a certain amount of training? Yet, anyone with discerning eyes could see that the man would never make it big. Otherwise, why would the emperor be so concerned about the lack of a candidate who could shoulder the empire's burdens?
"Don’t worry, Old Qiu." His Majesty’s emotions were fully stabilized now. "It’s only a plan of mine, I won’t act impulsively. Well, at least, I won’t be making too much a change in such a short period of time."
"Even when I’ve decided that it's workable, I’ll still have to observe over a period of time and that duration will last at least a few years. Whether or not the child can shoulder a heavy responsibility can basically be judged when he’s around six or seven years old."
