Features: In later records of historical anecdotes, the year Wanjin 2, the new top scholar Dongfang Fei entered the Grand Secretariat and steadily rose to become the Chief Minister. In Wanjin 6, he was specially appointed by the Emperor as the Minister of Rites, and was granted a special ennoblement. The Six Ministries were directly under the Emperor, with the Ministry of Rites being the highest. Dongfang Fei was a rare exception in the Jindi Empire, capable of turning the sky with his left hand and overturning fate with his right, wielding immense power. His character was corrupt, his methods cruel, and he harmed loyal officials, establishing himself as the only dominant force in the court. Any court official who defied him faced a tragic and miserable fate. The name Dongfang Fei would be cursed for generations.
