Ji Zichang experienced his most enjoyable day in a long time, ordering wine and enjoying it by the ruins of the palace from the Red Emperor's era, drinking with Li Guanyi. Li Guanyi gazed at the distant stars and said, "From what I saw today, those officials seem to have been momentarily subdued, but I'm afraid they won't stay quiet for long."
"Essentially, they're bound to stand against you."
This is class conflict, a clash of interests.
It's not something that can be permanently suppressed with one or two efforts.
Ji Zichang said, "I know, but I can't just brutally kill them all."
Li Guanyi regrettably said, "It's a pity Wen He isn't here."
"He's quite adept at dealing with these aristocratic families and nobles."
Ji Zichang remarked, "No need to deploy Yan Daiqing from the Northwest."
Li Guanyi said, "You know of him too."
