He has been living in the capital for years and is a powerful, scheming figure with children, grandchildren, officials, and subordinates. He deeply respects and cares for their teacher, having been taken in by him at age seven after his father died in war. He knows about the emperor's crimes long ago and has been preparing for this situation. He is the most indulgent with Shi Buyu despite appearing strict.
