After thinking it over, Li Hao was first surprised, then not so surprised. The royal family was not a benevolent party either. He’d thought that it was Hou Xiaochen and the others behind the death of the governor general overseeing the three northern provinces, but later found out that that wasn’t the case. The Steppe Prince himself had gone to kill the man.0

His goal was simple—throw the world into chaos to pave the way for the royal family’s return. The nine ministries were still suffering as the scapegoat for that act.0

Yellow Dragon’s goal had been similar when he was at the head of the Night Watchers. The world was to be thrown into chaos and the people suffer in abject misery. He’d succeeded as well—that was evident from the state of the dynasty. That the nine ministries hadn’t taken a stand and permitted him to do so… likely because they were of the same mind as the royal family.0

Let it all burn!0

Yellow Dragon was doing the deed and the Night Watchers were taking the fall. So long as Yao Si could be kept under control, then the nine ministries and royal family didn’t care about anything....0
