Han Shi was a renowned scholar of the State of Wei and a Grand Academician at court. Being a man shackled by rigid, corrupt traditions, he was immediately displeased to see the scholars hailing Jia Lingyun as "Long Live."
Jia Lingyun held no regard for this old fossil. If he remembered correctly, when the scholars were causing a ruckus earlier, Han Shi had stood by watching the spectacle. Such a man could not be allowed to remain in the imperial court.
" 'Long Live' is merely a title. Is there any law in the court that forbids addressing someone as such?"
