Inside the court hall everyone was having the normal session. It was as normal as it would be until the head imperial censor moved forward to report. "Holy one this one has a report to make, this one received this letter left from unknown person. He was scared and in hurry as if was being chased by someone. His fear and trembling was not faked.

The content of the letter is very grave and seeks immediate attention. According to the letter, cities of Caimin and Green wind had not received their share of relief funds. While the Xuzhou and cloud city seemed to have only received half of the relief funds.

It is also reported that the people there are suffering from the after effect of the natural disaster. Caimin and Green wind being the center point of suffering. Getting hit by landslide and then by drought the people don't have anything to eat, unable to trade or to live normal livelihood.

Though Xuzhou and cloud are not at that same level but still has been reported to have many cases of robbery, theft for money.

It is also reported that some places have started to form groups to revolt as the people seem to have impression of being abandoned by the nation.

Holy one I urge to have a thorough investigation of this case and securing the nation from the brewing internal conflict."

The court was in great disorder from the imperial censors information while the third prince's entire faction was trembling as each had managed take more or less. While emperor was reading the letter passed by feng Min with a dark face.

As if not enough head minister of war Duke Wei Yung also moves forward to report. "Holy one I too have received a letter from the army stationed at

Xuzhou whose leader is young General Yan Shukai.

The hall was deathly silent after his report. Everyone knew emperor was on verge lashing out. All the reports were pointing to the embezzling of the funds allocated for the army and the disaster stricken places. Also to the possiblity of internal conflict by dissatisfied subjects.

Emperor looked at his officials with raging eyes then giving a sarcastic hehe he unleashes his rage. "Umm.. how long was it that I was threatened with similar situation.. umm quite long ago.. the time when I had just sat in this throne..

Well if I was able to subdue it then it will be the same this time.. just the number of people dying will increase.. but no issue to have my country prosper, and enjoy peace cleansing the filthy blood is a must."

Though he seemed to be talking to himself all the ones hearing him felt their heart tremble and blood freeze. They knew there was a time when emperor had washed the palace and country with blood and now it was going to be repition of history.
