Even though he had been tricked by Sun Miaoqing and lost an ivory tusk, the great victory in the Northwest campaign did not dampen his good mood.
Yue Zhongqi and Luo Buzang Danjin set off ahead, traveling day and night, and would be able to enter the capital in a few days.
In the wake of the resounding victory, those fickle ministers became much more docile. A system of checks and balances was needed for both civil and military officials, as well as for military commanders.
The best long-term solution is to exercise restraint in all things.
Seeing his happy expression, Zhen Huan realized that although he was admiring the painting with her, his mind was clearly not on it. Otherwise, he would have argued with her for a while before giving up.
