Du Youcai again sought his son Du Wei for discussion, saying that the Du family could not just end like this.
Du Wei, tormented by illness, weakly said to Du Youcai, "Don't worry, Father. The new Emperor has many matters to handle upon ascending the throne, such as tracking down and arresting the traitors who murdered the late Emperor, holding the ascension ceremony, stabilizing the court, and so on. Our Jiangyang City is thousands of miles away. His Majesty won't have time to remember you for the moment."
Du Youcai thought this made sense, but still said, "As your father, I am still uneasy."
