Although Chuge had prepared himself for the failure of his modifications, he never anticipated a failure of such magnitude.
The first thing he saw were the snowflake-like petitions from the Imperial Censorate, impeaching him.
Many of these petitions targeted other clauses. Chuge didn't look closely, because the other clauses followed the original approach of Wang Wenchuan, and Chuge roughly knew the impeached contents, there was nothing novel.
He was more concerned about the kind of backlash his reformed Green Seed Law would provoke.
As soon as he saw the officials' impeachment memorials concerning the New Green Seedling Law, Chuge nearly passed out in anger.
Some said that he was "depleting the national treasury for personal fame," which meant taking the nation's money and wildly distributing it to harvest a good reputation for himself.
