The Civil officials immediately turned their heads, looking at High Duke Cao with judgmental and hostile gazes.

In this battle of ” seeking justice for 380000 vengeful souls, ” the structure of the radical civil officials was complicated. Some were for justice in their hearts, and some were for not letting down the book of the sage. Some did it for fame and fortune, while others followed the trend.

The radical faction was led by Wei Yuan and Wang zhenwen.

The structure of the members of the opposition was equally complicated. First of all, it was the royal family. There were certainly good people among them, but sometimes their status determined their position.

Once King Huai was convicted, it would be an unimaginable blow to the reputation of the entire imperial family. In the words of the marketplace, he would not be able to raise his head in the future.

Even ordinary people wanted face, let alone the royal family.

The North vanquishing Prince could die, but he could not be convicted.

The second was the noble Group. Nobles were naturally close to the royal family. As long as one understood the nature of the title, one could understand that the nobles and the royal family were on the same side.

To sum it up in two words, aristocrat!

The Civil officials were like leeks, changing wave after wave, and there would always be a new force pouring into the court. When he was in his Prime, he was in charge of the Imperial court alone. When he was in his Prime, his children were no different from commoners.

Only the hereditary nobles were born nobles, and they were on a different level from the commoners. The imperial family had given them the power to pass on their inheritance to their descendants.

Therefore, even if some of the nobles did not agree with King Huai and Emperor yuanjing, they would most likely remain silent.

In the end, a group of civil officials who wanted to be promoted or those who were in a bad situation secretly made an exchange with Emperor Yuan jing, spoke for him, and became his weapon.

The members of the royal family, the noble Group, and some civil servants formed the opposition party.

At this moment, High Duke Cao had stepped out, representing the noble groups and their will.

“Your Majesty, the Imperial court has been plagued by internal and external problems in the past few years. There have been constant droughts in the summer and floods in the rainy season. The People’s lives have been difficult, and taxes have been owed year after year. Even though Your Majesty has continuously reduced the taxes and allowed the people to rest, the people still have complaints.”

High Duke Cao’s heart ached, and he said in a deep voice,”At this time, if there is another city massacre by the North vanquishing Prince, how will the people of the world view the Imperial court? How would the Squires and minor officials view the court?

“Will they think that the Imperial court has rotted away, so they’re even more unscrupulous in plundering the People’s wealth?”

“Bastard!”

Emperor Yuan jing flew into a rage. He pointed at Duke Cao’s nose and scolded, “”Are you mocking me for being a fatuous Emperor? are you mocking everyone in the hall for being fatuous?”

“This subject doesn’t dare!” High Duke Cao shouted,

“But right now, aren’t you all doing such a foolish thing? They were clamoring to seek justice for the people and wanted to convict King Huai, but had anyone ever considered the overall situation? Did he consider the image of the Imperial court? As officials of the court, don’t you know that the face of the court is your face?”

The two of them were acting out a double act.

The officials of the Imperial court began to whisper to each other.
