So, what are you - or is it Baltika9? - saying is that we should have dealt him a weaker hand to harden him? How does this even make sense?Well, I don't regret Operation Immortal one bit, but from a certain perspective, it could be argued that offing the old man would have hardened Shun for the harsh reality of being an Emperor.

The interesting thing is that while Shun has a very strong position openly - nobody would dare publicly oppose Shun's rule after Operation Immortal - a few clever observers (i.e. the Grand Eunuchs) can take a look at his cabinet, bide their time, and wait for the cracks to appear. His hand is strong now, but sometimes when you're winning, you get careless, lose sight of things, and before you know it, you've gotten complacent and the enemy has the last laugh.
That's, basically, was what the Operation Immortal was about. To make open opposition to Shun impossible. He'll have to capitalize on that.
Oh, we can still harden him, if you want. We just have to put his rule in as much jeopardy as possible. Is that how it is? I don't even get that 'certain perspective'.
