As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several people in the hall changed slightly. Cui Luan's expression was as still as a wooden sculpture, but Cui Wenhao couldn't help but open his mouth to speak.
But in the end he didn't speak.
Cui Cen laughed again and said, "I'm not talking about my comrades, but someone else. These people..."
Cui Cen paused briefly at this point, his gaze suddenly sweeping across the courtiers in the hall. He said in a low voice, "These people are the ministers present here, as well as the aristocratic families behind you all."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent, and then many people's expressions couldn't help but become gloomy.

Therefore, he felt that his failure was all due to the mischief of these aristocratic families, and even thought that the emperor had allied with the aristocratic families. That was why he fought back before his death, not only to disgust him, but also to disgust those aristocratic families.

On the contrary, he took the opportunity to get the first blood from the aristocratic family by selling heads. This was probably something Cui Cen could never have imagined.
Therefore, Cui Cen was overthinking it if he wanted to disgust him by targeting the aristocratic families.
