Page "King Wuling of Zhao" Paragraph 5

His reforms did not go unopposed.

While many reformists and officials supported the reforms, seeing it as a way to greatness and power, conservative members of the royal family such as Zhao Wuling's uncle Lord Cheng ( Simplified and Traditional Chinese: 公子成 ) disliked it, claiming that there should not be any " Copying of barbarian clothing and changing of old rules " ( Simplified Chinese: 不该 " 袭远方之服, 变古之教 ").

Lord Cheng even went so far as to be absent from court.
