Ban Chao did not stay in Luoyang for long before deciding to return to the Western Regions.
In fact, whether it be the court ministers or Liu Zhao, almost everyone hoped that Ban Chao could remain in Luoyang.
Although Dou Xian was already dead,
it was still necessary to eradicate the Dou Clan's influence in the local areas from over the years.
Having someone like Ban Chao, who held such high military prestige, was a blessing for everyone.
Moreover, Ban Chao was really getting on in years.
Years of nonstop campaigns, coupled with the differences between the Western Regions and the Central Plains in various aspects,
made him appear very weathered.
For the entire Great Han, Ban Chao was like a pillar holding up the sky.
It wasn't just the ministers; at the very least, Liu Zhao and the Gu Clan did not want anything unfortunate to happen to a loyal minister like Ban Chao.
But Ban Chao's attitude was very resolute.
In front of the ministers, he respectfully bowed to Liu Zhao.
