Old Su sighed with relief at the words.
This issue was his small test, and Xiaozhao's response was undoubtedly the high-scoring choice.
To some extent, it proved that Xiaozhao hadn't lost his mind due to the change in status.
He then paused and glanced around.
With only three people present in the palace, he directly laid out some words:
"Your Highness, in my humble opinion, if you wish to inherit the throne, you must do so with a justified name."
"If Your Highness's name is to be justified, then Zhao Ji's name must be 'flawed.'
"Therefore, the first thing Your Majesty must do, after stabilizing the court, is to weep at the ancestral temple about Prince Duan's foolishness and frivolity, indicating that Your Highness took this action out of helplessness."
"Secondly, the Minister of Rites should petition while Your Highness modestly declines three times, before reluctantly accepting the will of the masses."
"Thirdly, upon ascending the throne, grant a general amnesty."
