A court minister impeached Wang Renyou, claiming that his eldest son was taking advantage of the family's influence to cause trouble locally, thus marking the beginning of this battle.
Li Zhi was furious.
He also decreed a thorough investigation into the matter, deliberately bypassing the Imperial Censorate.

But this action would, ironically, provide a lot of room for maneuver.
For the counterattack of Consort Xiao's faction, the Guanlong nobility united with unwavering determination.
