"I must make you all understand one thing," he declared. "The imperial court today does not suppress the military with civil officials, but rather aims to restore the status of us military men, even elevating us higher than civil ministers. From now on, it's no empty talk for a commander to transition into a high-ranking civilian officer, to enter the court with military merits to become an executive!"
Wang Jianxiong suddenly grasped the situation.
He now understood why the imperial court insisted on sending Liu Fa to reward the troops.
Rewarding the troops was merely an additional task. The true mission was to make the officers and soldiers of the loyalist army believe, through Liu Fa, that from now on, the status of military men had changed!
And indeed, what Liu Fa said made sense.
The military men of the Qi Dynasty had been suffocating!
