"Shosuro-sama... Would it mean anything in this situation to know the previous Emperor's wishes on the subject of his brother?" she asked quietly.

"If we bring the topic of 'we are doing what the previous Emperor wanted' into court, those that support the Steel Chrysanthemum will latch upon the idea and use it for their own benefit. The wishes of a dead Emperor and the wishes of a dead-but-returned Emperor will hold the same weight in the minds of many."
