This made the guards and ministers guarding the government office hesitate... because according to the rules, someone should have woken up Emperor Zhao at this time, but Yang Yi Zhong had gone to escort the Western Liao envoy to Linfen and had not returned yet, Liu Yan and Shao Chengzhang were arranging those emeralds for the commanders, and the news was not a big deal.
No one wanted to be the bad guy. It was for this reason that Zhao Jiu waited until after sunset when Yang Yizhong returned to see the document.
"Prepare the edict and documents, and notify Tokyo, Chang'an, as well as Minister Liu (Liu Hongdao) in Luoyang, as well as Prime Minister Lu and Prime Minister Yuwen, the two Hu Jinglues, and the ministers Han, Li, Ma, Li, and Wang, and tell them that I will move north. Also tell the camp to cook early. Tomorrow morning, the armies on both sides of the Fen River will set out together and head north with me!"

If Yelu Yudu and Huer Zhahusin can come, it would be best if they can come as well." Emperor Zhao spoke softly, as if he had not woken up yet, then yawned and went back to the backyard.

This day is the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
