Capital City.
At the very time when turmoil struck Liangzhou in the Northern Territory, a great storm also brewed within the Capital City, thousands of miles away, the two events unfolding simultaneously.
In the seventy-sixth year of Emperor Longqing's reign, on the seventh day of the ninth month.
On the eve of Emperor Cao Kai's seclusion, Mr. Feng Chu, Fang Qingyun, intercepted him on the way to the Temple outside the city to offer sacrifices, presenting three accusations: first, the Immortals' lack of compassion; second, the Emperor's foolishness; and third, the treachery of corrupt officials.
It was this third accusation.
Before the eyes of tens of thousands of citizens, he revealed the truth about the "Ten Days in Yunzhou" and the "Three Prefectures of Guan Du," listing ten heinous crimes committed by the Yan Family father and son and imploring His Majesty the Emperor to punish them severely without mercy.
Within the Capital City, this set off a tempest.
