If Wang Yongzhu and Song Chongjin knew the Emperor had thoughts like this, they might wonder if the Emperor's mind had gone astray?
A benevolent father? Song Hong's actions were anything but the instincts of a kind father.
It was merely because he understood the Emperor's nature too well and knew that he had made the Emperor wary.
Besides, with father and son serving together at court, if he held a high position, Song Chongjin could not emerge.
Therefore, one of them must step down. He knew his own health best and didn't know how many more years he could hold on.
As for Song Chongjin, his future is still long. For the foundation of the Song Family of the Duke Weiguo, he naturally had to choose to step down himself, not to hinder Song Chongjin's prospects.
