Liu Hong snorted coldly and launched into a tirade against the officials.

Faced with the emperor's reprimand and questioning, everyone was ashamed and lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the hall fell silent, not daring to utter a word. Only Cao Song had a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth, sneering inwardly.

"The civil and military officials are also worried about this matter, hence their actions. Please, Your Majesty, calm your anger!"

Seeing this, Hu Guang had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward to offer some advice. Chen Fan was not present, and it seemed that Li Ying was also quite dissatisfied with those people.

As the Minister of Works, Hu Guang had no choice but to take on the role of mediating affairs in the court, as the relationship between the emperor and his officials could not be too rigid.

"Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing Hu Guang speak up for them, the civil and military officials in the hall all spoke up and bowed to Liu Hong.

"That's enough!"

Upon seeing Hu Guang appear, Liu Hong's expression softened considerably.

Liu Hong glanced at the officials and said in a deep voice, "All of you, remember this: when you encounter problems in the future, don't just think about the difficulties; when you discover a problem, think about how to solve it."

Less talk, more action; only then can you be called my trusted advisor and pillar of the Han Dynasty!

As Liu Hong finished speaking, many pragmatic officials in the court immediately showed joy, and some older ministers also nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Hong then continued, "Thanks to the efforts of all of you, the Han Dynasty is becoming increasingly stable. However, I hope that you will work together with me to maintain a pragmatic approach and continue to strive. Only in this way can our Han Dynasty regain its former glory!"

"Your Majesty's teachings will be firmly remembered!"
