After leaving the Huang family, Zhu Youxiao went straight back to the palace.
Even though his mood had calmed down, he still felt uncomfortable.
Zhu Youxiao felt helpless and heartbroken about the Manila Massacre.
Thinking about what this land has experienced, he felt even more heartbroken.
Turning his head to glance at Wei Chao, Zhu Youxiao said, "Call the people from the General Staff Office. I have something to discuss with them."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Chao agreed quickly.
After the imperial edict arrived at the General Staff Office, everyone was still a little confused.
Didn't Your Majesty go to see Elder Huang? Why did you suddenly summon us all?
Soon, the news spread and the expressions on everyone's faces became solemn.
Obviously, the Huang family's affairs have made His Majesty unhappy. If these people say or do the wrong thing, it is very likely to make His Majesty angry.
Everyone became cautious, and no one dared to say anything about the emperor's promise to avenge those people.

"There are no good weapons in the local areas. Someone once petitioned me to allocate some of these weapons; the northwest and southern border areas also need these good weapons, and even the garrisons in various places need some. However, the court has never been able to take care of them, so we have not done so again."
Several people looked at each other. Could it be that His Majesty was going to equip the local army with weapons?
This is a good thing!
No one spoke, so Zhu Youxiao continued, "The Imperial Guards are almost fully equipped now, and there won't be a large-scale replacement of equipment in the short term. I intend to equip the equipment produced by the Hundred Craftsmen's Academy to the border areas and other regions. I wonder if you, my dear ministers, have anything to say on this matter?"
