Gradually, the rain grew heavier, transitioning from a light drizzle to a steady drip, and then to a gentle downpour.
It rained continuously for the entire night. It continued to rain until the next morning.
For the next few days, it rained and stopped. The weather was gloomy.
For the first time, Chu You understood what it meant to have no way to ask for help.
The Empress Dowager was under house arrest. Those aristocratic families didn't help him, and even his cousin, Yuan Zhe, was unwilling to appear. It was almost impossible for Chu You to move forward.
In the past, Chu You knew that the aristocratic families were a double-edged sword and could be his help. If he couldn't suppress them, he would be like the previous dynasty, letting the aristocratic families be above the king and have exclusive power over politics.
It was also because of this that Emperor Taizu weakened the suppression of the aristocratic families.
