Chapter 319: New Winds!

When Wang Chong raised the issue of Emperor Wu of Han and the Gongsun Clan, Wang Gen fell into silence. The Gongsun Clan during the Emperor Wu of Han's era and the Meng Clan in Qin Shi Huang's era; these were case studies that all officials had to study from when starting their career in politics.
