Everyone present was stunned by Zhang San's words.
Initially, everyone felt that Zhang San truly had backbone, willing to stand with Emperor Kaihuang at such a time. Although they knew Zhang San was certain to die, they still admired him in their hearts.
But now it seems, you're not just refusing to kneel, you're standing to earn the Crown Prince's favor!
Zhang San clasped his hands towards Emperor Kaihuang.
"Emperor Kaihuang, I have always been favored by you, so what I am about to say comes from the heart. I hope you and the Crown Prince can listen until the end."
