Once this order is issued, probably no commander would dare disobey it.

If you don't listen, it's tantamount to going against the aristocratic families!

Who in the world dares to challenge us today?

Just as the elders had finished their discussion and were preparing to draft a memorial...

Cough cough!

Suddenly, a coughing sound came from outside the door.

The group looked over and saw two servants supporting an elderly man with white hair as he slowly walked in from outside.

"The Grand Secretary?!"

Everyone's expression changed, and they all stood up.

Wu Tiande was the first to greet him, "Your Excellency, weren't you ill? Why aren't you resting in bed?"

The old man sighed, "If I don't step in, when will this farce ever end!"

Everyone's expressions were somewhat unnatural; clearly, the Grand Secretary already knew everything that had happened here.

The Grand Secretary shook his head and, with assistance, walked to a chair and sat down.

Before anyone could speak, he declared, "This war cannot be fought!"

Zhang Yi walked over with a grim expression. "Your Excellency, this boy killed members of my Zhang family and acted recklessly. If we don't deal with him this time, he will likely become even more lawless in the future! He is a great threat to our country!"

"Oh, you're exaggerating!" The Grand Secretary waved his hand, glanced at him, and said, "As far as I know, it was your young man who insulted the other person first, and then insulted the other person's mother! You should know that the child has been living away from home since he was a child, relying on his mother for survival! A mother's love is deep, and a mother's kindness is the greatest. Put yourself in his shoes, if it were your mother who was insulted, could you tolerate it?"

"Moreover, the army is full of men of courage and integrity. As a young marshal, if he allows others to insult his mother in the military tent and does nothing, what will his subordinates think of him?"

The Grand Secretary snorted and said, "The problem is that your young master is ignorant of his own limitations. He did the wrong thing in the wrong place, and he has only himself to blame!"

He only has himself to blame!

The Grand Secretary's utterance of these four words was considered the final verdict on this matter.
