Xu Hong, Minister of War of the Imperial Court; Gao Qingfeng, Vice Minister of Personnel of the Imperial Court; and Qi Chen, Vice Minister of Personnel of the Imperial Court.
Several officials of the fourth or fifth rank followed behind them.
It can be said that this time, Zhu Qi really sent down the highest-ranking officials around him.
