Infighting isn't exclusive to the Sects.
At the Imperial Court, the struggle is, in a sense, even more intense.
Because Dayan is so vast, the interests and entanglements within the Imperial Court are far more complex and extensive than within any single Sect.
Especially in recent years, the turbulence within the court halls has been one wave after another.
In his memory, Xu Yuan's most direct perception came from the Directorate of Music.
Starting from five years ago, the leading courtesans were changing rapidly almost every month.
One day a censor's wife would emerge, and the next there would be an additional shilang's daughter.
This time returning to the Imperial Capital, Xu Yuan estimated that he would see quite a few new and expensive courtesans in the Directorate of Music.
That was because three months ago, the previous Minister of War and Minister of Revenue were both implicated in corruption scandals.
