For so long, Xiang City had served as the Minister of War, attempting to elevate his own people to higher positions, but failing. It would be strange if he weren't somewhat angry.
He also understood Xiang City's character, which was all about self-preservation.
Now that Hu Hua has fallen into the trap and been removed from his post, Xiang City certainly won't be helping him in the short term, much less speaking up for the Hu family publicly.
What Xiang City needs to do now is probably to stabilize people's hearts.
After all, before this, all the officials of the Ministry of War believed that with Xiang City's support, Hu Hua would surely win. However, as the result emerged, discussions began when that incident occurred.
Chu Heng's capabilities were also noted by the Ministry of War.
Especially the officials above the fifth grade.
Moreover, Zhou Tianqi was friendly with Chu Heng, and the two had a publicly amicable relationship.
