“Very well. A nation cannot be without its ruler for even a day, and a vassal state cannot be without its vassal king for long without inviting criticism. Stay in Chang’an with your mother for a few more days, then set off to return.”
Emperor Wenxuan then added, “I have received news that Beishan’s Blood Wolf Tribe has entered Youzhou and taken control of Shanhai Pass. It seems there will be more turmoil on the grasslands in the future.”
“Father, rest assured. No matter who it is, I guarantee that Cangzhou will not fall,” Xiao Ming vowed.
Emperor Wenxuan nodded slightly with a smile and said to the Prince of Shu, “As an elder brother, you should reflect on yourself.”
Though the Prince of Shu seethed with hatred inside, he obediently replied, “Yes, Father.”
Having received some exquisite gifts from Xiao Ming, Emperor Wenxuan was eager to return and admire them. He signaled to Feng Deshui, who announced, “Court is dismissed!”
Since there were no pressing matters today, the officials bowed and slowly exited Chenqing Hall.
“Your Highness, Your Highness!”
As soon as he left the hall, Luo Quan caught up with him and said, “Your Highness, do you have any more of those telescopes? Could you spare one for this old minister?”
Xiao Ming replied, “General Luo, don’t worry. While others may not have them, I won’t forget you. Yesterday, I visited Grand Secretary Fei, and today I was planning to send the gifts to you.”
