Zhou Yi knelt on the ground, revealing a smile as if to say, "As expected."
The new policy concerns His Majesty's achievements and failures in history; anyone who dares to obstruct it is committing a heinous crime. At this point, whether Minister Cui and his group are a faction is no longer important.

The Orthodox Emperor said, "Show this confession to those outside, they claim to be upright gentlemen every day, yet they live as treacherous villains!"
Eunuch Yuan, holding the confession, left the hall, and soon a chorus of grievance cries arose.

"This servant is wronged, willing to prove my innocence with death!"
