Fifth Master Can No Longer Hold Office in Court

Elder Cao struggled to lift his bloodied body.

While others feared Nanli, he did not.

Glaring fiercely at Nanli, he bellowed, "Look at this! You and the Chu family want to dominate the court completely, don't you? You're trying to control the entire government!"

Spreading his arms wide, he shouted bitterly, "The Chu family wants to harbor a Qi royal! There's no law anymore! From now on, the Chu family can do whatever they want, and you officials will have to live in constant fear, bowing to their will!"

"Chu Yan is the Prince of Jingyang of the Qi Nation! To clear his name and the Chu family's, he killed Emperor Qi. At such a young age, he dared to commit fratricide! He and Emperor Qi were true brothers, equally ruthless and vicious!"

The officials exchanged uncertain glances.

Most of them were loyal ministers handpicked by Ye Siheng. While they remembered the Chu family's contributions, they could not condone actions that defied the law.
