Cai Wei has made such arrangements with great care, for if we were to treat them as treacherous officials and rebels and punish them severely now, the evidence is ultimately inconclusive and there would be those who secretly discontented; moreover, Li Kaifeng's decades of operations in the court have given him deep roots, and it would be troublesome if pushing them into desperation led to their revolt.
Therefore, it is better to detain them in our own mansion, wait for Brother Parrot to gather all the evidence, and show it to the court ministers. So everyone can be thoroughly convinced when we take down those chaotic and treacherous group one by one.
In this way, there is no need for a great war, and we can convince the officials heart and soul.
