Between two detriments, choose the lesser, can we not only choose General Han Fuyue?
Taking a step back, let's consider the worst-case scenario, where both individuals aspire to usurp the throne.
In that case, if General Han Fuyue usurps the throne, I might still be able to save my life, but if Qin Huizhi usurps it, my death is certain.
No matter how you look at it, General Han Fuyue is far more reliable than Qin Huizhi.
Moreover, if General Han Fuyue does actually come to support the current dynasty, with both powers contending, Qin Huizhi's power is bound to waver, and perhaps I, the emperor, could find a lifeline in the process.
All in all, this was already the last resort for Emperor Yingzong of Qi, who did not wish to sit idly by and await his fate.
Chen Yuanshan hurried off.
Three days later, Qin Huizhi publicly announced that Emperor Yingzong of Qi was unwell and unable to handle state affairs, so he was resting quietly in the palace.
