If not for this fear, why would a man like him—a heavyweight whose power overshadowed the court and whose position was unshakeable—need to put on such a hypocritical act?
First bootlicking the Emperor, then downplaying his own son's achievements, and finally, even kneeling on the ground, weeping and wailing, to refuse any credit?

But in reality, Wei Feng knew one thing with absolute clarity: his greatest purpose was to limit the unchecked expansion of the Military Merit Group's influence.
He and the Emperor did indeed have a personal relationship. Back when the Emperor was still a prince, the two of them had been the closest of friends.
Although they didn't call each other brothers like Xu Luo and the Eldest Prince, Huangfu Haoran's status back then wasn't as awkward as Huangfu Chongzhi's is now.
