Hence, Qi Feng, who had planned to use this opportunity to advance, was fired from his position but remained in office. The reason why he remained in office was because Minister Qin interfered. Otherwise, once he was dismissed from office, it would be difficult for him to become an official again.
If he stayed in office, there would still be a chance for him to make a comeback. Most importantly, Minister Qin had interfered. Just this alone meant that it was only a matter of time before he returned to his official position.
However, this also pushed the Qi family to the center of the storm. Minister Qin's reputation was foul, and Qi Feng's actions were equivalent to standing on Minister Qin's side. The officials who were hostile to Minister Qin could not do anything to him, but they could target Qi Feng.
After the Zhu family, Qi Feng made a few more enemies for himself. From then on, he was even more careful and did not dare to extend his reach beyond what was allowed.
