In the midst of gathering an army, Lin zhenyu tells his father that the rebellion is not a rebellion, but a purge of the evil-minded members of the royal family. Lin says that he hopes the king will think twice before allowing the capital garrison to attack the rebels. Lin tells him that the king of the west has also joined the rebellion, and that the troops from that kingdom are also in the capital. Lin asks his father to send the garrison to kill the rebels, but his father refuses, saying that Lin's highness has made mistakes, but that he doesn't need to explain to the king. He tells Lin that he has saved the life of the garrison three days ago, when he asked him to help him. He says that Lin and he are allies, that Lin has acted recklessly, and has led the country to the brink of ruin. He asks the king to remove the crown prince and replace him with a new one.
