Her question soon had an answer.
Not two months after the Empress Ceremony, news came from the Capital City.
His Majesty the Emperor issued a decree, seeking out extraordinary individuals and events from across the lands to summon the Empress's spirit to appear in dreams.
At the same time, he mobilized the three armies, intending to personally lead an expedition to the Northern Border and conquer the Jin Dynasty.
A wise man does not stand under a risky wall; the new Emperor personally leading an expedition was a significant national event, and naturally, all the officials tried to persuade him otherwise.
However, past lessons were there to be seen; this time, seeing the Emperor's firm will, the voices of persuasion were much weaker.
With the Emperor going on the expedition, a few elders temporarily managed the political affairs in the Capital.
Xie Wanqing received the news when the three armies had already set forth, and the matter was settled.
