During the morning court session, a report accusing Su Tongwan of deliberately misreporting expenses and squandering silver tael for the snow disaster relief sparked another verbal dispute between Wei Qingchen and Ji Yanyu.
The Emperor arranged for someone to thoroughly investigate, while the rest listened to the two exchange words one after another.
The report only provided an overview, and the details needed to be verified by him.
In a short while, a decision couldn't be made at the morning court, and the two were engaged in a verbal battle, with an aim to extend the session and to unsettle each other.
"A report to the Emperor, Su Tongwan disregarded the court's orders, neglecting the safety of the affected citizens. If this is verified to be true, merely punishing this person might not suffice."
The Emperor asked how his favored minister planned to address the situation.
