Minor Court Matters Turn Allies Against Each Other? Di Xin and Lu Ya Both Felt They Had Profited

In the royal court.

A battle of arguments was unfolding.

The court officials had split into two factions, both of which consisted of meritorious officials who had helped pacify the north.

One side.

Was led by Wen Zhong, a veteran minister who had served through several reigns and earned immense merit.

Although he had suffered defeat during the campaign against the seventy-two bands of rebels in the North Sea within the Northern Border, his many years of contributions could not be erased.

The other side was led by the newly promoted high minister, Shen Gongbao.

He was a Chan Sect Disciple, yet he had rendered tremendous service to Great Shang. First, he had pacified the seventy-two bands of rebels in the North Sea; later, he had rescued the Northern Marquis Chong Houhu and led an army against rebel states, quelling the chaos. His achievements were truly great!!

Shen Gongbao had also gathered a group of supporters during the pacification of the Northern Border.

Furthermore, he was skilled at maneuvering.

He had won over many people in court, which was why this situation had arisen.

When Shen Gongbao and Wen Zhong began arguing.

The court officials supporting them also joined in "attacking" the opposing faction's ministers. Their war of words was even three times fiercer than when they had previously denounced Lu Ya!

As they went on.

Some officials actually lost their tempers.

They grew increasingly heated!

The situation threatened to spiral further and further out of control!!

Bang!!!

All of a sudden, a wine cup was smashed heavily onto the ground, shattering into pieces.

This unexpected turn frightened every official present into falling silent and standing properly. They stood there as quiet as cicadas in winter, each staring at his nose and contemplating his heart.
