Hearing Lu Chen's question, Zhuge Zhongguang smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and then said, "According to this old minister, there are three possibilities."
"The first possibility is that His Majesty feels that after the elimination of the Aristocratic Families in the South, the Ancient Families no longer pose much of a threat. The greatest threat is from the various Seigniors across the lands, so he wants to use this opportunity to eradicate all the Seigniors within the Great Sum territory in one fell swoop."
Upon hearing the first possibility, Lu Chen said with confusion, "Since ancient times, emperors have weakened the Seigniors gradually. My father has enticed all the Seigniors to expand their forces, and when the time comes, the Imperial Army may not be a match for those Seigniors."
