Oh dear, officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue also went along. That's quite unfortunate. It would be easy for Prince Zhi to silence the officials from the Ministry of War, but what about the officials from the Ministry of Revenue...?
I'm sorry, but our Ministry of Revenue is currently facing a tight budget. Confiscating those private properties will allow the Ministry of Revenue to recover for a while.
Heaven knows how the Minister of Revenue managed to conceal his inner elation that day, while outwardly displaying an expression of "How could this be? Did we come to the wrong place? What should we do now?"

We have to thank Prince Zhi for this.
As for Prince Zhi himself, he doesn't have time to settle scores now; he's in a real bind, having not even cleaned up his own mess yet.
The mere fact that he kept a private army was enough to displease the Emperor.
