The Emperor had heard that Su Rong had arrived in the capital and was eagerly waiting for her to visit the palace.

Since hearing from the elderly Duke Protector about the process of suppressing the rebellion led by Zhang Ping, the Emperor had come to realize that Su Rong was a formidable young lady. Especially impressive was the way she had dealt with Zhang Ping through Zhang Yun and managed to bring a quarter of a million soldiers under her control. It was doubtful, thought the Emperor, that anyone else could have managed this.

It could be said that she was responsible for half of the merit in resolving the crisis within Daliang.

If it were not for her, even if the Duke Protector could win against the soldiers led by Zhang Ping, Daliang would endure heavy loss.

Now, without a single soldier lost or any blood being shed, all hoped for such a desirable outcome.
