At that time, the late emperor was still in good health, and although the Prince of Yizhou was young, not even twenty, there were still quite a few people who stood by his side.
After all, the present emperor had great military achievements at the time, and the Third Prince was favored by the late emperor. Both had many followers.
Some people, unable to gain prominence, chose the Prince of Yizhou, preferring to be a big fish in a small pond rather than a small one in the ocean.
Since the emperor was not dead yet, every prince had their own chance to compete, and if it didn't work out, they could just withdraw then.
So even though the Prince of Yizhou had gone to his fief, there were still some who maintained an ambiguous relationship with him.
And at that time, it was Old Master Guan who stayed by the Prince of Yizhou's side. As the realm was not yet completely stable and Yizhou was poor, Old Master Guan helped build Yizhou City.
