68 Not beat but kill him

The evening feast had started. In the grand hall of the Imperial Palace, every regal family member had shown his presence except the Emperor and the Empress. The guests who were invited had taken their respective seats. As soon as the announcement of the arrival of the Emperor and the Empress was made, everyone stood up from their respective seats, the Emperor and Empress of Han. 

Once the Emperor and Empress had taken the seats, others took their seats. "It is a glorious moment to see all the Kings and governors of Han province. The great Han benefited after the merger of tiny provinces in it," Han Wenji pronounced with a warm smile on his lips. 

"Your majesty, we are extremely happy to be a part of the great Han Empire," voiced the governor of North-Western province, Bingzhou province, Qiu Jiewo proudly. Others also agreed with him.
