The debate rapidly devolved from structured arguments into a chaotic, terrifying shouting match. The Grand Court Hall, designed with brilliant acoustics to amplify the Emperor’s voice, now worked against him, turning the hundreds of arguing voices into a deafening, echoing roar of pure noise.
Civil officials were practically nose to nose, quoting conflicting verses from Confucius and Han Feizi, their faces contorted in anger.
On the right side of the hall, the military generals scoffed loudly at the scholars’ squeamishness, some even resting their hands on the pommels of their ceremonial swords, loudly declaring that they would march to the Wang estate right now and end the debate with their own steel if the Emperor gave the word.
"Blood must answer for blood!"
"Show the grace of Heaven!"
"They will stab us in the back!"
