The officials, who were all former imperial examination graduates, laughed as they began distributing red sashes,
and more than half of the ministers, already infected by this generous atmosphere, unhesitatingly removed the white cloth they wore and replaced it with red sashes.
Yan State,
regardless of the financial situation or the state of the treasury,
you cannot deny that,
Yan State now is truly the greatest power in the East!
For eight hundred years, the iron cavalry of Yan has defended the East from the barbarians, cultivating a confident and unyielding backbone;
and ever since the current Emperor ascended the throne, the series of triumphant victories in foreign wars has brought the honor and pride of the Yan people to a peak.
Thus are the common people,
and naturally, the officials are even more so!
In fact, joining the court and becoming an official, to leave one's name in the historical annals, the simplest way is... to advocate for war.
