Wufu managed to stump Hua Wushuang with his question.
The existence of Eagle Hall has spanned over two hundred years. Is its original intention still the same as it was in the days of the ancestors, solely to protect the Imperial Family and the people and to uphold orthodoxy?
But if they truly protect the people, how could they have watched indifferently as the people of Nanyue fared worse year by year? Take last year's drought—it was one of the more severe disasters in recent years, yet Eagle Hall did not intervene. Later, the imperial court controlled the situation with disaster relief, and they still didn't intervene.
But he knew that even if the imperial court intervened, many disaster victims still didn't receive aid. Some families were ruined, some people were forced up Mount Liang and became bandits.
