291. The Worries of Mr. Qingyun
At the end of May this year, the new emperor of Great Chu had not yet ascended the throne for two months. Most of the power in the court was still held by the Regent Prince. However, the undercurrent beneath the court still hadn't stopped. Prince Li's intentions had become too apparent, and the upstanding officials in the court who supported the proper succession had slowly begun to gather together, subtly forming a counterbalance against the Regent Prince.
On the northern border, the war before Zijing Pass continued. Farther north, the large army of Beirong had already begun to stir before the arrival of early summer. On May 20th, the Xiling army once again launched an offensive on the southwestern border. The people of the southwest, who had experienced war just a few years prior, were once again plunged into conflict.
