At the Taihe Hall, the Prime Minister was unjustly beaten up by Long Rui, then apologized and compensated with silver, feeling furious inside! His eyes were almost popping out.
Long Rui acted unpredictably and, while shirking responsibility, used him as a scapegoat. Even the Emperor couldn't handle him and wished to send this Plague God away as soon as possible.
"I am exhausted. All ministers, dismiss." The Emperor, quite angered by Long Rui, wanted to end the court session early and go back to have a cup of ginseng tea to ease his mind, fearing that if he delayed any longer, he might burst out bleeding at court from rage.
Eunuch Li held his head high, about to proclaim dismissal, when he was stopped by Long Rui.
Long Rui: "Your Majesty, it wouldn't be appropriate to dismiss the court without handling the issues properly, would it?"
The Emperor, feeling very fatigued, replied weakly: "War Prince, what more do you want?"
