The faces of those aristocratic family heads were visibly delighted. Feng Rushi was so bold as to question the government in public.
This is exactly what I want.
Ouyang Xiu, as if grasping at a lifeline, slammed the table and pointed at Feng Rusi, angrily shouting, "How dare you! Feng Rusi, how dare you discuss state affairs at a poetry gathering and mislead the people? What are your intentions?"
