Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who were standing nearby, suddenly collapsed to their knees and knelt down in a panic.
Even Xi Zhicai and Zhong Yao, who were standing to the side, couldn't help but exchange a glance. They didn't understand what Zhang Huan had written in his letter that would cause the usually calm and collected emperor to lose his composure like this.
All that could be seen was Liu Hong, his face contorted in rage, clutching Zhang Huan's memorial tightly. The memorial contained Zhang Huan's description of the horrific scenes in Jiuyuan, each and every one of which constantly ignited Liu Hong's furious rage.
After his emotions had calmed down, Liu Hong looked at Zhong Yao and said, "I hereby summon the Grand Tutor, the Grand Commandant, and the General-in-Chief to present their memorials in the palace."
"promise!"
Watching Zhong Yao leave, Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Hong with a puzzled expression.

"Zhicai, you should take a look too!"
Liu Hong then handed Zhang Huan's memorial to Xi Zhicai.
Upon reading the contents of the memorial, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but frown, his anger burning.

Xi Zhicai's calm words betrayed a murderous intent.
"That's exactly what I was thinking!!"

As they were talking, Liu Hong handed Zhang Huan's memorial to Chen Fan and the others.
"The thief should be executed!"
Upon reading the memorial, Chen Fan's hair stood on end and his face was filled with rage.
"Revenge! We must get revenge!!"
Li Ying and Dou Wu, who were standing to the side, were also trembling with anger.
Li Ying then said, "Your Majesty, I believe Zhang Ranming's plan is feasible, but the number of people should not be too large."
Liu Hong nodded: "I wonder, Grand Commandant, who do you think should be sent?"
"Dong Zhuo, the military commander under Duan Jiming, is exceptionally brave and capable of this task."
Li Ying couldn't help but recall the name mentioned in Duan Jiong's report on his military achievements.
"Good! Order the Imperial Secretariat to draft a summons, and appoint Dong Zhuo to lead a thousand elite cavalrymen to serve under the Protector of the Xiongnu."
