Chongzhen blew on the wolfberries floating in the teacup and asked calmly, "You say so, so be it?"
Xie Sanbin immediately knelt down and said, "I dare not. I just feel that the situation in Shandong is precarious. If we don't send troops, Shandong will probably fall into the hands of the rebels."
"Yes," Chongzhen nodded, "It is indeed time to transfer them back, but before returning to the interior, the Korean issue must be completely resolved."

Xie Sanbin didn't understand, so he bravely asked softly: "Your Majesty, the Jiannu have been completely pacified, and Korea has long been willing to submit. I wonder what your Majesty is talking about."
Chongzhen snorted coldly: "Of course it's military expenses!"

According to the previous discussion, His Royal Highness Prince Ding should lead the troops south to quell the rebellion. However, the Ministry of War refused to issue him an order to mobilize troops, and the Ministry of Rites refused to cast an official seal for him. His Royal Highness Prince Ding has no troops to use. I hope Your Majesty will be aware of this."
