Prince Rong saw that his father's complexion was off and dared not to speak any further of insignificant matters. He immediately began to discuss serious issues. "Father, tell me, was there anything wrong with the position I arranged for Prince Guangping? You said he was even less capable than I, that if I could barely stick to a wall, he couldn't even reach it. I felt it was embarrassing, so I found him a mediocre position. And now, it's gotten me into trouble. Where am I supposed to reason for this?"

The rascal came because of this matter, which meant he surely got wind that the arrangement of positions for Prince Guangping had been leveraged against him. He was being squeezed, yet he didn't want to submit, so he decided to accuse before being accused himself.
