In mid-February, the Emperor of Da Wei decided to set out east on tour in the near future, to display imperial authority, inspect the local administrations, and understand the people's livelihood.
After Chen Mo got the idea of going to the River Sea for a trip, he shared it with Wu Mi, but Wu Mi had a different opinion.
Wu Mi said, ever since he ascended the throne, he hadn't often held audience in court—if he wasn't running here, he was running there. Once or twice was fine, but if it happened too often, it would inevitably make the ministers feel the Emperor was neglecting state affairs, and would set a bad example for later emperors.
If he wanted to go to the River Sea, that was fine, but he had to find a reason that would convince all the officials.
