As long as someone broke the law, once in his hands, he treated imperial kinsmen and commoners alike with no distinction between noble and lowly, only between lawful and unlawful.
Back then, Lord Liu's rise to this position was solely due to Long Rui's recommendations. Despite the Emperor's displeasure with him, he couldn't afford to fall out with the War Prince and had no choice but to acquiesce.
