Fan Zhongyan turned around and looked at Zhao Zhen, then asked, "Apart from the emperor's lack of support, is there any other reason?"
"And there are conservative interest groups that won't agree."
Zhao Jun shrugged. "Didn't I tell you last time? Old Fan's reforms affect the interests of a large number of the scholar-officials. They are numerous and hold considerable power. The Qingli New Deal is to overthrow them. How could they agree to it?"

Why did Fan Zhongyan ask this?

Lu Yijian suddenly felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into a cold cave!
Fan Zhongyan is such a dangerous villain!
