These ministers were all bloated and swelled up, reeking of a mixture of durian and stinky feet.
It makes you wonder if they just crawled out of a pile of durians.
"My dear ministers, the New Year of the Great Tong Dynasty is approaching, and they are holding some kind of ridiculous sports meet again."
