Human nature is flawed, and some have particularly large flaws.
Even the most powerful Immortals in the world have never claimed to be able to meet everyone's demands without limit.
At best, they can only maintain a situation that satisfies the majority.
The Emperor of the Former Dynasty abdicated, and though most of the remaining loyal officials and supporters verbally expressed their inability to accept this, they all knew in their hearts that it was an inevitable conclusion.
There can be no two suns in the sky, nor two sovereigns over a nation. The young Emperor was ineffectual, and the Regent Prince, despite his exhaustive efforts, failed to open any new prospects.
Even without the President, people like Zhang San and Li Si would harbor their own ambitions.
Maintaining the last semblances of dignity would be the best outcome.
