The next day, all the feudal lords finished handling court affairs and began preparations to return to their own fiefdoms.
The Imperial Decree arrived, stopping King Li Yuanhao of Western Xia at the inn, commanding him to come to court for an audience.
Li Yuanhao, unaware of the matter, received the decree and stood in place with a somber expression.
Song Gongming, from the same floor, hurried up and slipped some Spirit Stones to the eunuch delivering the decree, quietly asked, "Do you know why Your Majesty suddenly issued a decree to summon him?"
The eunuch swung the horsetail whisk, rested it on his wrist, and smiled sinisterly, "Of course, it's a good thing, and a tremendously good thing. Please, King of Western Xia, do not delay, lest Your Majesty becomes angry."
"Go then, I am not afraid of those treacherous ministers!"
