The next day! The court meeting was convened!
Qin Wudao, dressed in an emperor's robe with an outer layer of mourning clothes over it, sat upright on the throne. He overlooked the court officials in the hall, his gaze as majestic as ever, yet exuding a strong sense of sorrow.
Previously, every post had its occupant. During court meetings, the hall used to be packed with officials, and when they paid their respects, the sound was like a roaring tide. However, now, it had become sparse, with many empty seats, especially in the front row where only a handful of people stood.
They were Cao Cao, Lv Bu, Zhao Yun, Li Yuanba, Yuan Tiangang, Nie Zheng, Song Jiang, Zhou Yu, Jiang Ziwen, Xuanzang, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, and Shen Wansan.
After a simple bow of respect, the court meeting officially began!
"Minister Cao, how far has the relief work for the fallen heroes progressed?" Qin Wudao asked in a calm voice, not getting straight to the point.
