Sitting up, I pushed open the window, looking out at the pitch-black sky. I coldly stated, "The strategies that I, Jiang Zhe, employ rely upon the sinister nature of the human heart. If the crown prince did not have any selfish motives and was wholeheartedly serving the state, then this stratagem of mine would not work. Xiaoshunzi, you must remember, once a person has been blanketed, it's not that they can't be splashed by the water, but rather that their intentions are impure. If the crown prince is really worthy and virtuous, possessing the bearing of a sovereign, then my plan would be virtually useless. If he were to consequently lose the throne, it is not because I was vicious, but rather that he did not have the good fortune and magnanimity to become the son of heaven."
