When Fan Zijin was urgently summoned back, he thought that something big had happened in the court. But because he could not get an answer from the messenger, he was so anxious that he rushed back day and night without even drinking a mouthful of hot water.
Seeing how disheveled and haggard Fan Zijin was, Qi Xiuyuan felt a little guilty. After quickly updating him about the chaos in the court, he said, "Now, less than a quarter of the court supports the reform of the official system, and less than a third supports the reform of administrative duties. As the Emperor, it's not a good idea for me to show an obvious bias. Therefore, I'm only relying on Rong Xuan and Little Treasure to hold the fort in the court now. Now that you're back, you can share some of their burdens."
