Seeing that the officials were not at all surprised by the news of Lu Shuyun's rebellion, Lu Chen continued, "Prince Lu Shuyun is using the slogan of 'rid the emperor of evil ministers,' claiming that the Left Prime Minister Lin Gaoyuan is a traitorous official who has deceived my father the Sum Emperor, leading to Great Sum's defeat in the war, the ceding of territory and payment of indemnities, and finally bringing the people of Great Sum to the brink of destitution."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the officials from the North Country also remained calm and were similarly unsurprised.
Throughout history, most rebellions have used the slogan of 'rid the emperor of evil ministers,' of course, even though it's about 'cleansing the court,' it's always that 'emperor' who ends up being cleansed.
Lu Chen spoke again, "What do you think, if the royal court calls upon me to enter the capital and support the emperor, should I go or not?"
