"General, we cannot ignore the imperial family! They are also deeply trusted by His Majesty and have served as governors of five provinces. They are people we must win over. We must not push them toward Empress Dowager Dong!"

He Miao also sent back the message on time.
However, after leaving Xianyang and heading north, He Miao never sent any news back.
