Emperor Wu summoned court officials overnight to discuss policy.
There were many disputes among the civil and military officials in the court. Some suggested moving the capital, some suggested keeping the enemy out of the country, and some suggested sending envoys to negotiate.
The court of Dajing has been noisier than 500 ducks in the vegetable market for two consecutive days, but there is still no plan!
Relocating the capital is definitely not an option. Once such a precedent is set, I can’t imagine what kind of situation will result!
There is no need to think about peace talks. As soon as the envoy arrives in Jiangcheng, Qiao Yunting will be the first to stand up and chop the man to death without anyone else taking action. From now on, the king and his subjects will no longer be able to coexist peacefully!
Then there is only one last way left!

But there are so many things to prepare for war, and just the preparation of food and fodder and the conscription of soldiers will consume a lot of manpower.
The key point is that Dajing’s grain harvest was poor this year, and some areas were also hit by insect plagues!

Just as Emperor Wu was deciding who to send to take charge of this matter, the Minister of Revenue and the Vice Minister of Revenue fell ill one after another.
The imperial physician came back and said that the patient really couldn't get out of bed!
The servants of the minister's family were just waiting for the master to take his last breath so that they could hang themselves up.
It's already like this, how can you still have the nerve to let others carry such heavy burdens?
Emperor Wu was so angry that he laughed: Good, very good!
But looking around, there was no suitable candidate in the entire Ministry of Revenue.
The remaining personnel, either from humble backgrounds, are unable to bear this burden, or are disciples promoted from aristocratic families who are unable to shirk responsibility when faced with problems!
Seeing that the situation in the court was at a stalemate, Prince Consort Qiao brought the princess into the palace to pay respects to His Majesty and His Majesty!
The next morning, Qiao Erlang was airdropped to the Ministry of Revenue to temporarily take over the position of assistant minister, and was fully responsible for the preparation of food and fodder matters!
The former Minister of Revenue and Vice Minister were ordered by His Majesty to stay at home and recuperate!
All the civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar!
