"It's true that he has earned a lot, but compared to the Shen Family, an aristocratic family with hundreds of years of heritage, it's still far from enough. Many aristocratic families are richer than his Yang Family, and that must rankle him," Tong Sanlang said.

Being the Emperor, how could one feel secure in that position without some real skills?"
"The ideas my grandfather and great-uncle had seem a bit ridiculous now."
Even the Shen Family, with all their historical depth, couldn't find a foolproof way to rebel, let alone his Tong Family.
Luckily we didn't revolt, otherwise we'd end up just like the Shen Family.
