Right after the court was dismissed today, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Personnel continued their disputes, openly sarcastic and covertly mocking, the argument never ceased.
Seeing the two ministers arguing vehemently, someone tried to mediate, but alas, it was to no avail.
On the outskirts stood a man, tall and lanky, out of place among these civil officials. He was the very man left by the Ministry of War—a straightforward military general, one who came up through scouting and enjoyed hearing news and relishing in the bustle.
On any given day on the street, if someone looked up at the sky, he would follow suit without a second thought, looking up too. The gossip of the ministers in the Imperial Court and the talk of the town all came from this military general.
