"First, there were the Twelve Golden Orders, and now a Decree of Punishment. With such unkingly behavior, are they not afraid of becoming a laughingstock?"
He was infuriated to learn that after Wang Linchi had accomplished the great unification, Emperor Jing had again sent a reprimand, questioning why he had not obeyed the imperial command to return to the Capital.

"You... you're not planning a rebellion, are you?" Seeing Wang Linchi's nonchalance, Zhang Lin cautiously ventured. The two were familiar, and Zhang Lin had some grasp of Wang Linchi's temperament, which was why he dared to ask.
"No, why should I rebel?" Wang Linchi rolled his eyes. Why does everyone seem to think I'm capable of rebellion?
