Probably add in CanShu then and paint up the impending conflict.

If he has civil authority (perhaps like Ludendorff did during the Great War), then the Mandarins would hate him (if they didn't already). More reason for them to support Yao Fune's "No More War" plan.

But the ArchExarch has been a serving soldier whereas his title implies that he should really be a dignified minister. Hence I think of the ArchExarch as a decorated general who has acquired so much prestige that they just had to make him ArchExarch.
Now because of his arrogance and dictatorial style, they are trying to push him Onwards and his authority has been declining for a few years.
