"Han Wen, stationed in Jingzhou, was greatly disappointed upon hearing this. He had originally thought that Emperor Jianwen would emulate the sages of old and abdicate the throne to him. Unexpectedly, the new Emperor's ascension only positioned him as a regent."
"In the first year of the new Emperor's reign, Han Wen took advantage of Emperor Jianwen's passing and once again led troops into the Court, offering sacrifices at the royal tombs."
Chen Tang said, "It seems this man can no longer hold back. This time, not only does he want to depose Emperor Xiaowu, but he likely intends to replace him as well."
"Indeed."
Ming Yue Wanderer said, "At that time, rumors spread throughout the Capital City, saying that Han Wen entered the Court with plans to execute the Shen clan, led by Shen Wendu, overthrow Nanxia, and take its place."
At this, Ming Yue Wanderer paused and then slowly continued, "And so, Ye Anshi descended from the mountain."
