The Censorate Chancellor can even spew saliva with rage, berating every official in the imperial court. No wonder he is eloquent, but how could Wei Zheng, a military general, be his match?
Wei Zheng had no choice but to invoke the Empress Dowager.
"My lord, let's not forget the purpose of our mission," he said.
Ao Zheng snorted coldly, cupped his fists in salute, and looked upward, "This official is acting under imperial orders, with no need for General Wei's warning, and will surely not fail His Majesty's command."
Then, with a sidelong glance that suggested he couldn't care less, he added, "I would also advise General Wei to speak cautiously; if any more indecent words are uttered, this official might just have to report back to the court once more."
Wei Zheng wished he could draw his sword and slaughter the old rascal.
But before setting off, the Empress Dowager had specifically instructed him to act according to the situation and to avoid rashness.
