"This is Prefecture Lord He Zhengchen, he is refuting Prince Liang's manifesto." Zhao Xing silently watched.
"Not so!" On one side of the square, two Ritual Repairers dressed in black scholar robes stood up.
One of them, named Wang Chengsi, loudly said: "Liu Si was commanded to reform the system, change the law and prosper, without using the system, pressuring the royal family, infringing on the vassals, alienating ministers, and estranged kin. This is a great evil, deserving of death!"
Yu Tianhai chimed in: "Liu Si promoted governance, causing the ruler to distrust ministers, ministers to distrust the ruler, the rule of law and rites not upheld, for over two hundred and thirty-six years, households declined, families torn apart by death, does the ruler consider this innocent?"
He Zhengchen smirked coldly: "You all privately received rewards from the prince, dare you speak recklessly of law and rites?"
