Judge of the Song Dynasty

Censor Xie Jing’s memorial was merely the clarion call for the reformist counterattack.

Or perhaps it was meant to cast a brick to attract jade.

Because Wang Anshi was currently recruiting troops to his banner. And on the political battlefield, what mattered was one’s stance. Many lower-ranking officials saw this as an excellent opportunity to advance their positions.

A once-in-a-lifetime chance.

It was conceivable that the conservative side certainly included many vested interests who occupied numerous key positions. If they weren’t brought down, how could others rise up?

Thus, one after another, many people submitted memorials impeaching Fan Chunren, Su Shi, and others.

This scene left Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo watching in terror.

Again it was factional scheming for personal gain, again it was eliminating those who dissented.

How remarkably similar it was.
