"However, Your Majesty," Zhuge Liang said, raising his voice slightly so it carried to the furthest corners of the grand hall. "Even though it will result in a mountain of incredibly hard work, and our scribes will likely curse the paper they write upon for a week... I can assure you that every single official in this empire will happily shoulder that burden. To be given the chance to truly, freely celebrate the absolute unification of the land, a dream that has bled this continent for generations, is a gift beyond measure. The backlog is a small, insignificant price to pay for the dawn of an eternal peace."
The moment Zhuge Liang finished his sentence, the immense tension that had gripped the civil officials evaporated.
A collective, resounding murmur of absolute agreement swept through the court. The provincial governors nodded vigorously, and the senior ministers exchanged eager smiles.
They were exhausted men who had spent their entire lives managing the logistics of endless war, the prospect of three uninterrupted days of pure, joyous celebration was a temptation too sweet to deny, even if it meant working by candlelight for a week afterward.
Hearing the unified, enthusiastic response of his court, Lie Fan let out another rich, booming laugh, the sound washing over the officials like a warm breeze.
"Well said, Kongming! Exceedingly well said!" Lie Fan grinned, his eyes sparkling with profound satisfaction. "Since the spirit of the court is so fiercely united on this matter, then the decree shall be absolute. Three days of rest, three days of joy, for every soul beneath the Hengyuan banner."
Lie Fan turned his gaze toward the master of shadows. "Chancellor Jia Xu."
"Your Majesty," Jia Xu stepped forward, bowing deeply.
