Everyone knew the reason for the stark contrast in sacrifice: the students of the Orthodox Academy had obtained the protection of both the Imperial Court and the Li Palace. The most obvious example was that the Orthodox Academy had started taking in students three years ago and now consisted of more than three hundred teachers and students, yet only a few students were present on the frontlines, and they were all assigned to secretarial duties.
But nobody criticized the Orthodox Academy.
This was because everyone understood the malice concealed behind the Imperial Court's arrangements, and they also understood why the Li Palace would be so nervous.
More importantly, besides those students performing secretarial tasks, the Orthodox Academy had another person on the frontlines.
