As for whether officials of the new faction had a lot of dirty laundry?
Of course they did, but by now the players had entirely replaced the new faction's officials, naturally, there was no point in tripping over their own feet.
The impeachment by the Imperial Censor along with Wang Wenchuan's appointment and removal orders caught these old faction members off guard, leaving them completely unprepared.
In the midst of the chaos, Wen Jun still clung to a last shred of clarity, and he turned to pin his hopes on the Emperor high above.
Logically, the Emperor should not have supported such blatant, openly unmasked suppression of dissenters.
Because that's a factional struggle!
Which Emperor doesn't fear factional struggles?
