But the Fifth Prince did not voice any objections, and the officials from Shangjing watched coldly.
This showed their stance.
The matter was not extremely serious, after all, Prefect Zhu was just trying to show off and gain favor. But it wasn't trivial either; Wei Zhao was a General who sacrificed for the country, and couldn't be casually used by those with ulterior motives.
After returning to Shangjing, they might submit a report on this matter.
For Prefect Zhu, this was likely the end of his career as a Fourth Rank official.
Who would dare to stand up for him?
Everyone was on edge, afraid of being implicated. No one had the mind to try to stand out and win the favor of the influential.
Prefect Zhu was still reveling in his success, thinking that if this worked out, he could also bask in Wei Zhao's glory.
