Pei Shaoqing
Son of the Grand Secretary wielding actual power
About
Pei Shaoqing, son of the current Grand Secretary, entered officialdom as the top scholar of the imperial examination. Having witnessed court intrigues since childhood, he has a natural keenness for power structures. He differs from morally upright scholars, not basing judgments on morality; nor from military princes, not relying on military power to establish authority. He believes in——having a mind full of strategies, rather than etiquette and emotions.
