"First Year, quickly send someone to gather information and see if you can uncover any inside details.

"If not, at least find out where Uncle Wen and Qingzhao are being held, and whether they are being mistreated."

"Ru Lin, you are an Advanced Scholar from the Sixth Year of Yuan You, according to our dynasty's correspondence system, there should be quite a few of your classmates stationed in the Capital City at this time."

"You can try to inquire, not seeking to know the truth, just understanding some details would suffice."

Mr. Xie and Zong Ze exchanged a glance and bowed in unison:

"Yes!"

After instructing these matters, Old Su let out a light sigh, his whole demeanor subtly withering a bit.

As a person within the officialdom.

Over the past fifty years, he had seen too many officials imprisoned for various reasons.

A few were released as innocent, most were exiled, taking to bothering others' sleep at Chengtian Temple for no reason.

And some were sent off to military service, or even...

lost their lives.

Old Li's current situation seemed ordinary, but Old Su had a vague bad premonition, far from being as calm as Xiaoli portrayed.

Or to put it more accurately.

This was a severe premonition never experienced in the past fifty years.

After Mr. Xie and Zong Ze left.

Old Su sent the insignificant Xu Yun back to the room.

And he went to the study.

Starting to write letters to a few old friends still in the court.

But what Old Su didn't expect was.

This thing he originally thought wouldn't be too sensational.

Turned into an incident that ignited the entire Capital City... no, the entire Great Song within just a few days!

The day after Old Li was arrested.

Zhao Yuanpeng moved again.

Barging into a certain mansion, and arrested Lu Tian, a professor at the Imperial College and Chongzheng Hall's speaker Cheng Yi.

Another day passed.

Chao Buzhi, an attache of the Ministry of Rites and editor at the History Hall, was arrested.

Over the next three days...

Dozens of officials, either in office or retired, like Lu Tian, Fan Chunli, Yang Wei, and Shangguan Jun.....

were all arrested!

Among them was a very famous person in later generations:

Su Zhe.

This arrest, led by the Imperial City Department, was like a sudden storm, giving no time for reaction.

Some people were even taken away from the banquet or boat without saying more than a sentence or two.

And if someone from later generations who were familiar with Late Song history were to discover...

Including Old Li.

The more than fifty officials arrested had different positions, ranks, and ages.

But they all shared one common identity.

And a few years later, they would be inscribed on a monument.

The monument numbered a total of three hundred and nine people, with the foremost being named Sima Guang.

That's right.

They were...

the Yuanyou Faction!

As the scope of the arrests expanded, a rumor gradually spread:

The Imperial City Department found a strange object called a Microscope at the home of Central Attendant Li Gefei!

Not only was it peculiar in appearance, but also bizarre in its interior.

We must know.

The current Emperor's name is Zhao Ji, born during the sun time, the character Ji belongs to the Bing Fire.

And those who understand the five elements know.

Two of the Heavenly Stems correspond to the five elements of fire:

One is Ding Fire.

The other is Bing Fire.

Where Ding Fire has an attribute of yin, it is a weak fire.

It represents the fire of candles and stoves, in short, the ordinary fires of the human world.

But Bing Fire is different.

Bing Fire attributes to yang, it is the fire of the sun.

It dares the frost and snow, shines upon all things, thus it is known as yang fire.

In other words.

The Emperor is yang, is light!

And on that object called a Microscope, there was actually something called...

Reflector!

Reflect upon reflection.

This is not instigating rebellion?

More crucially.

The people from the Imperial City Department also found on the base of the Microscope, in a concealed internal structure...

the current Emperor's name and birthdate!

...
