This seemed like a deliberate decision to keep the Madison family under the control of a half-dead top commander, causing chaos among the subordinates.
In similar situations, there must be some who remain clear-headed. But those who are clear-headed may not necessarily be able to take control of the situation, and in the end, they might just have to go with the flow...Even if someone does take control, there will still be unexpected 'accidents' happening in the future, right?
Catching a king doesn't always mean to kill the king, keeping him half-dead might be more useful. If he really dies, the inheritance could cause the people below to riot for a while, resulting in either restructuring or a complete split.
Neither scenario is in line with the current interests of the morning glory.
