In addition to officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, those guarding the city gate at this moment also included the Loyal and Brave King Song Hongshen, the Second Assistant of the Cabinet Shen Zhixiu, and the Junior Secretary of the Chancellery Liu Chen.
Everyone first saw the Li family’s big flag, and then saw two coffins.
