It's really unbelievable how the emperor didn't know about Ruan Yingzhe and Vermilion Bird Clan's (SYX's) confrontation in his capital city. Even the other four mayor family knew about it. But, the emperor didn't even hear any rumor about it? He doesn't even have decent information network in the residences of five mayor families despite they're living in the same city and he's been (slightly) wary of their force. Idk if I should called him naive or stupid.
