Ti Jin, who had just returned to his country, learned of the arrival of the Han delegation and immediately went out of the city to welcome them, leading Chu Qian to the palace.
Looking at the King of Cheshi and the group of nobles and officials before him, Chu Qian smiled slightly and then took out an imperial edict.
"By imperial decree of the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, all people of the Cheshi Kingdom shall receive this decree."
"Your Majesty, we obey the imperial decree!"
Upon seeing the imperial edict in Chu Qian's hand, Ti Jin and the nobles of Cheshi Kingdom all knelt on the ground.
Then Chu Qian slowly unfurled the imperial edict and proclaimed in a loud voice: "King Ti Jin of Cheshi has dared to attack Shanshan, a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, without authorization, thus violating the majesty of the Han Dynasty. I cannot forgive him."
Upon receipt of this edict, King Tijin shall be immediately deposed, and Junru, the Chancellor of Cheshi, shall assume the throne of Cheshi.
As soon as Chu Qian finished speaking, everyone in the palace turned cold. Ti Jin's expression also changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly, glaring angrily at Chu Qian.
"Why? I have already surrendered to the Han Dynasty, why does the Emperor still want to take away my throne?"
"Hmph~, if you make a mistake, you should be punished. You think you can just walk away? It's not that easy."
Chu Qian merely snorted coldly, showing utter disdain for Ti Jin's questioning.
Ti Jin narrowed his eyes, his gaze towards Chu Qian filled with murderous intent.
"Someone come here!!"
With a furious shout from Ti Jin, more than a dozen guards standing at the palace gate immediately rushed in.
"How dare you!!"
The four Imperial Guards standing behind Chu Qian immediately roared, drew their long swords, and protected Chu Qian behind them.
Seeing the menacing Imperial Guards, the dozen or so Cheshi guards couldn't help but stop in their tracks.
Upon seeing this, Ti Jin immediately shouted angrily, "What are you all standing there for? Kill them now!"
"I am Chu Qian, the Grand Master of Ceremonies of the Han Dynasty, an envoy personally appointed by the Emperor. Who among you dares to touch me?"
With that, Chu Qian raised his head and walked toward the dozen or so Cheshi guards, “My Han Dynasty has 15,000 soldiers right here in the city. If you kill me, your entire family will also die.”
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so guards were immediately terrified, and none of them dared to meet his gaze.
