A month later, the Feng Huo ticket was still not implemented. Just as Emperor Li Feng had run out of patience from the noisy commotion, a quiet cleansing gradually began.

First of all, the inspector's office immediately sent forth three reports accusing Yan Wang of abusing his authority, that the Grand Council secretly withheld the papers of the court's officers, leading to the complaints of the people not reaching the ears of the ruler, that the so-called Feng Huo ticket was a hoax, that it threw on the ground the face of the court and trampled on it, causing disaster to the country and the people.

Yan Wang ordered people to bring the written records about all reports that the Grand Council had sent out and returned from the establishment of the office until now. When and why they were returned was all written down and explained in detail, even in the summarized report sent to the Xinuan Pavilion. There was no discrepancy between them. The court was momentarily speechless.

Yan Wang then asked Emperor Long An to retract all his authority, for him to step down from his post on the grounds of 'ignorance of knowledge and difficulty to please the public'. As usual, Li Feng did not approve. His Royal Highness, who had just reached the age of twenty, who was still young and vigorous, turned his head and claimed that he was sick, running back to the Marquis' Manor and closing the door.

Even the court filled with old fox spirits who were experienced in adapting had never seen anyone who displayed such a blatant temper.

Li Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. However, without even waiting for him to come out of the palace to coax his younger brother, something instantly happened in the court as soon as Yan Wang left.

Firstly, the Grand Council with its head lost became a chaotic mess. The papers presented to Li Feng's desk every day resembled snowfall. From everywhere were requests for money, for Ziliujin, causing him to be at a loss.

Then the two ministers of Housing and War almost started getting into a physical fight in the court. Li Feng ordered an investigation in anger and found that even as it had already come to this, some people were still cutting off military funds. A major case was discovered that shocked the court and the countryside. From the second rank top officials to the meager seventh ranks, a large number of people were implicated. Even the talkative bunch of the inspector's office fell by half.

In September, an autumn rain washed the desolated capital. Jiang Chong personally went to the Marquis' Manor with a decree to invite Yan Wang back to the court. At this point, it seemed that the people with their own intentions had started to understand the situation. Yan Wang raised the Feng Huo ticket matter again and this time, it was pushed forward with little resistance.
