Seeing that Lu Shuyun remained silent for a long time without speaking, Wang Yong said at his side, "Crown Prince, His Majesty is forcing you to rebel. We have no way out. If the Aristocratic Families of the South are gone, your position as Crown Prince will also be abolished."
The Sum Emperor did not directly send troops south, but continuously applied pressure. His aim was to force Lu Shuyun to go south. Anyone with clear eyes could see that the Sum Emperor wanted to find a justified reason to eradicate the Aristocratic Families of the South.
Now the conflict between the Sum Emperor and the Aristocratic Families of the South had been laid bare. War was bound to break out. Even if the Aristocratic Families didn't rebel, what awaited them was only the slaughter.
