046 No good end comes from opposing Khan (first update)

"Have you thought it through?" Yelu Yan sipped his tea, placed the cup on the table, and looked at the group of court ministers.

The court ministers answered in unison, "We have thought it through, Your Majesty."

Yelu Yan spoke indifferently, "This Khan knows, you may leave."

The court ministers hastily knelt and performed the elbow-bending salute to Yelu Yan, respectfully saying, "Thank you, Khan. We shall take our leave."

After the conservative ministers had exited the Hall of Diligent Governance, many wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

While Yelu Yan was staring at them, they felt a chill at the back of their necks and broke into a cold sweat.

A minister said, "What do you think the Khan meant by that?"

Yelu Yan had only said, "This Khan knows," without another word, so his true intentions were unclear and baffling to them all.

An elderly minister remarked, "What else could he have meant? Can't you tell that the Khan was angry? He hasn't forgiven us."
