Hua Shunming didn't have much patience to listen to them arguing here.
He immediately issued several Holy Decrees. In addition to assigning military generals to head to the border, he made it clear that since the enemy dared to invade, they must be prepared to face a counterattack.
Regarding Lu City, Hua Shunming didn't give them a chance to discuss this time, directly issuing two Holy Decrees of commendation.
Zhou Shixiong was already a prominent regional official with a hereditary noble title, so the Emperor only rewarded him with some gold and silver.
Gu Wenheng was directly promoted from the Standard Fifth Rank to securely hold the Secondary Fourth Rank Prefect position. Jin Qianqian rose with the tide, receiving a titular honor as a mandated lady.
They seemed like two ordinary rewards, but everyone understood in their hearts that the Emperor was serious this time. He no longer wanted to smooth things over like before, but rather wanted to take the dominant position.
