Today's early court protagonist is the ambassador Chang Yi. Facing the attention of everyone, he confidently stated, "We have faithfully fulfilled our mission. After four years of diplomacy, three countries have agreed to host our ambassadors. We return without tarnishing our duties. Long live the Emperor, long live, long live forever."
The Emperor, who understands best what has happened abroad over these four years, repeatedly said, "My beloved ministers, you have worked hard for many years. I will reward your merits accordingly."
Joy shone in Chang Yi's eyes; his risk had been the highest, so naturally, his reward would be the most generous.
The early court is not a place for detailed discussions; it really just serves as a formality. After it ended, the diplomats including Chang Yi stayed behind.
Zhou Shuren watched his son and the eunuch leave. He hesitated for a moment before turning and walking towards the exit of the palace.
