"Why does Qian Jiaoxi want to assassinate the eunuch?"
"Is there any need for a reason to kill eunuchs? Aren't eunuchs deserving of death?"
Lu Qi laughed softly, strolling around the half-cleared ruins of the palace,
"However, I think the surname Qian wouldn't have acted impulsively to assassinate the chief eunuch in the palace; this is likely a plot orchestrated by their South Faction. After all, the court's finances are dire lately, and they truly wish to implement tax reform; the eunuchs also want to imitate Mo Zhu Mountain by establishing banks to issue treasure banknotes, or at least purchase more bonds from Mo Zhu Mountain in the court's name. The southern financial groups probably aren't too willing to relinquish fiscal power."
The court, hmm...
