The Eldest Prince shook his head and said, "Anyone can see what's happening, but no one has a solution. They have no other choice."
"If they don't do it, others will, and they'll be the ones to suffer. When their own interests are at stake, they'll all choose to go along with it."
The Vice General carefully considered the Eldest Prince's words and realized he had a point.
That's just how the world is. It's not that circumstances create heroes; rather, circumstances force people to act.
If one of the Dukes under heaven was unwilling to vie for control of Great Zhou Country, but all the others were, then that unwilling person would be forced to join them.
"Then what is your intention, Your Highness? How should we proceed?" the Vice General asked.
The Eldest Prince said slowly, "It's not my turn to make a move yet. I have to wait until my father, the Emperor, passes away. Only then can I contend with them for the throne. But right now, the matter of Shen Bai is a huge problem."
