Xie Jue had actually thought about it ever since learning that the Beiman were being oppressed by the Pingnan County Magistrate, but he had not come up with a better solution at the time.
"The Prince is not a Beiman, so it's difficult for him to empathize with the plight of our people. We don't seek special treatment, only fairness. Conflicts often arise in the Twelve States, not solely because of the enmity between the two peoples. Disputes among the common folk are resolved by the government office. From the office's standpoint, one side is an enemy, while the other is like family, making it an easy choice. This only exacerbates the conflict, preventing reconciliation."
