If I were to travel to the era of Aristocratic Politics, Chen Xi would have to consider whether to suppress the Reform Faction along with the old era to keep Aristocratic Politics going, or to overturn the Aristocratic Politics with the Reform Faction, colluding with the decaying Aristocratic Politics as it crumbles.
