On the surface, Prime Minister Shi controlled the government of Shu-lik. However, there were definitely great dangers hidden within.

He didn't agree with the other ministers, but he didn't care. The Prince stood on the side of those ministers which caused the situation to be different. Although the King of Shu-lik was only in his forties, his physical condition was not good. Prime Minister Shi was worried that, once the king died, the Prince would succeed the throne.
