Therefore, during the years that Chun Yuan was exiled, the Heaven and Earth Society and the later prefect got into a lot of trouble together.
These descendants of the Wei state would be the first to respond once they heard that the Heaven and Earth Society had raised the banner of rebellion against the imperial court.
Although the emperor was aware of the situation in Yanzhou, and knew that some of the high-ranking officials in the court were descendants of the Wei Kingdom, he knew that once the Heaven and Earth Society succeeded, these people would surely open the gates of the capital to welcome the Heaven and Earth Society army into the city.
But as the emperor, there are some things he can't control.

Even if these officials were sent to investigate the Heaven and Earth Society, they would only go through the motions.
This is one of the key reasons why the Heaven and Earth Society was able to grow stronger and larger in Yanzhou.
