The Emperor of Liang widened his eyes. His heart, which had almost leaped out of his throat, finally settled. His anger became even more uncontrollable.
"Good! You still have the gall to play dead here with me! I'm not dead yet! You want to rule this country already? Is this how afraid you are of Jin? Where is your Liang backbone?!"
The Emperor of Liang slapped the table repeatedly in fury and shouted, "Don't stop him! Let him ram his head! Do it now! I want to see if he dares, if he's doing it to step on my face for his fame, or if he's truly a loyal minister!"
"Calm down, Your Majesty!" The old Prime Minister once again kowtowed, pleading for the Emperor to calm down.
"A useless fool who's been a coward for so many years dares to play dead! Do you want to be a loyal minister fishing for fame, or do you want to replace me?! If you want to replace me, you should take a sword and kill me swiftly! Why bother with this dead act to win the hearts of the court officials!"
