Not to mention, the two share the same clan name, so even if Wen Shaoxing became emperor, it wouldn't cause chaos in the country.
Although the Empress Dowager had the intention of using Wen Ziyu to get rid of Wen Shaoxing and to interfere in politics by taking advantage of her relationship with Wen Ziyu.
But Wen Ziyu wasn't stupid. He knew he had been controlled by Wen Shaoxing for decades, so how could he allow himself to fall into a situation where he was controlled by others again?
