“Taoist Friend, this matter is of great importance, we need to consider it carefully.”
Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s inquiry, Ye Daoyuan said solemnly.
Pei Xuanjing was puzzled, “Is there something that concerns you?”
The current conflict between the two sides has been clearly laid out and is irreconcilable, neither side can afford to back down.
In Pei Xuanjing’s view, Ye Daoyuan and his group should be prepared, or perhaps even have a fully formulated plan in place for their next move.
However, upon inquiring and hearing Ye Daoyuan’s response, Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but wonder. After all this time, did they not even have a plan prepared for what comes next?
Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s puzzled expression, Ye Daoyuan felt a bit embarrassed, he said with a wry smile, “The current political situation at court is complex. Aside from the factions of His Majesty and empress Dowager, there is a group of people who have not yet made up their minds, so …”
Indeed, the political situation at court is considerably complex with more players than just the emperor’s faction and the dowager empress’s faction. There are others as well.
The influence those people exert on the court is not insignificant. If they choose to join any side, it could easily shift the balance of power, yet they haven’t made their choices yet.
Most of these individuals were those who had been handpicked and promoted by the late emperor. They are loyalists and hold high positions that neither the new emperor nor the dowager empress dare to move against them unless they are found guilty of some wrongdoing.
