Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Emperor Yong'an understood that Chen Mo was planning to handle Xu Guozhong and Lu Sheng. Although he had anticipated this, his heart inevitably sunk when it actually happened. My Chu Clan's empire is indeed difficult to revive.
"As per... Duke An's suggestion, let all matters large and small be managed by... Minister Chen. This country and its affairs are now... entrusted to Minister Chen." Emperor Yong'an declared.
"Your Majesty's words are too heavy. I am merely fulfilling my duty as a loyal subject." Chen Mo cupped his hands respectfully and said loudly, "Subject Chen Mo, accepts the decree."
With the Emperor's decree, whatever Chen Mo did next would be more legitimate.
