Opening an office in Taila

In fact, Song Yufeng had long anticipated that sending Sister Shu to Victoria without authorization would inevitably draw questioning from Si Suitai. However, he hadn't expected Si Suitai's reaction to be so strong. Even the Grand Commandant and Grand Tutor felt something was amiss, though they could be persuaded. But Si Suitai? Song Yufeng held little hope.

Song Yufeng even heard that if the film was allowed to go to Victoria, the entire Sisuitai would resign.

After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Song Yufeng quickly returned to Yan Kingdom.

The officials of the Imperial Household Department resigned en masse—this is outrageous!

This time, Si Suitai was truly enraged. He had already made significant concessions by repeatedly asking Shu to leave Yan Kingdom, and now he wanted Shu to fight in another country? What kind of nonsense was this? This was a complete disregard for Si Suitai!

As soon as Song Yufeng stepped off the aircraft, he was verbally attacked by high-ranking officials of the Si Sui Tai. Several old men, along with a few young men, shouted at Song Yufeng, "Song Yufeng! You are arrogant! You are abusing your power! You treat the Si Sui Tai as nothing! You are too arrogant! This is contempt for the laws of the Great Yan, contempt for the system of the Great Yan! Contempt for His Majesty!" If it weren't for the guards standing by, Song Yufeng would have suspected that these old guys would come up and fight him.

At the same time, these heavy accusations were hard for even Song Yufeng to bear. Moreover, Song Yufeng's actions were not in the right. Sister Shu's actions were all supported by Song Yufeng, and except for the first time, none of Sister Shu's actions had been approved by Si Suitai.

Over time, even the other films started to become disobedient, and some even seemed to want to align themselves with Song Yufeng. Song Yufeng was well aware of these things, but he tacitly approved of them.

He also had his own selfish motives. In the original storyline, Rhodes Island could sign a contract to allow Suibian to stay on Rhodes Island permanently, so now it's not impossible for Minghuang to do the same.

All of this is to lay the groundwork for signing a contract later.

Faced with these accusations, Song Yufeng had nothing to say, so he simply ignored them, got into the car that had come to pick him up, and hurriedly left.

Upon arriving at the palace, the Grand Tutor and the Grand Commandant were already waiting at the entrance. As soon as Song Yufeng got out of the carriage, the Grand Tutor and the Grand Commandant came forward and surrounded him.

"No, you two, I know we haven't seen each other in a long time, but is it really necessary to miss me like this? What's the meaning of surrounding me as soon as we meet?"

"Song Yufeng! This is not the time to joke with you. The situation is very serious now. Although Si Suitai is also acting recklessly, the problem ultimately lies with you. If you don't have a reasonable explanation today, even I and the Grand Tutor can't speak up for you." The Grand Commandant frowned.

"Sigh, I really have no idea what to do. I thought I had been authorized to ask Sister Shu for help several times before, but now I know that I wasn't authorized at all. Besides, the situation was so urgent at the time that there was no time to authorize it."

"So what do you have to say this time? Bypassing the Si Sui Tai and arbitrarily transferring millet to Victoria? I originally had no objection to this, but that was when you followed the procedures. Now the situation is not urgent at all. What you did was really disrespectful to the Si Sui Tai." The Grand Tutor shook his head and said.

"So what should we do now? Apologize? Or call Shu back?" Song Yufeng said speechlessly.

"We can speak up for you and say a good word for you later, but the specifics will depend on His Majesty. Of course, your explanation should be sincere and at least reasonable."

After discussing it for a while, the three of them entered the court. At this time, the court was filled with civil and military officials on both sides, and Jingyu sat on the dragon throne, looking at Song Yufeng with great majesty.

Song Yufeng followed suit and stood on the side of the military officer, while opposite him was the official of the Imperial Household Department, whose face had turned red.

"General Tian Ce," Jing Yu said calmly.

"Your subject is here." Song Yufeng slowly stepped forward.

"Si Suitai."

“Your subject is here.” A candle-bearer stepped forward.

"Song Yufeng, I need a reasonable explanation. Why did you bypass the Suitai (the official agency in charge of the year's affairs) and directly mobilize the Sui Pian (another official agency)?" Jingyu's expression remained calm.

"This matter is really a misunderstanding," Song Yufeng said. "It is said that the 'Sui Pian' was transferred directly, but in fact only one person, Shu, was transferred. Moreover, the previous transfers were really out of necessity. At that time, there was war, and the battlefield was changing rapidly. There was really no time to apply, so we had to act first and report later."

"Nonsense! You must execute him first! Where did this 'subsequent report' come from?!" The official from the Imperial Household Department hurriedly said to Jingyu, "Your Majesty, please investigate! Any document from the Imperial Household Department can prove that Song Yufeng, apart from the first time he applied for leave for Shu, did not submit any other application report! He completely ignored the Imperial Household Department!"

"Is this guy stupid?!" Song Yufeng thought to himself.

But what this guy said was indeed true, so Song Yufeng had no choice but to quickly change the subject, saying, "This mobilization was also out of necessity. Our enemy is stronger than ever before, and I would feel really uneasy if we didn't send some high-end combat forces over."

"You can't even handle a mere Theresis?" said the official from the Si Sui Terrace.

What does "little Theresis" even mean? Although Song Yufeng is strong, if Theresis and the Ten Royal Courts attack together, Song Yufeng will be helpless. Moreover, their enemy is hundreds of times stronger than Theresis.

“That’s where you’re wrong. Theresis has many capable warriors under his command. Sending more men would be safer,” the Grand Commandant said, seizing the opportunity.

No one understood military affairs better than the Grand Commandant. Seeing that a professional had spoken up, the official couldn't say anything more and could only say again, "In any case, this matter is terrible!"

Jingyu pondered for a moment, then asked the Grand Tutor, "Grand Tutor, in your opinion, how should this matter be judged?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that although Song Yufeng's actions were not entirely appropriate, he was ultimately acting in the best interests of the country. Moreover, Song Yufeng has made great contributions in the past, and the front lines still need him. I think this matter should be put aside for now and discussed after the war in Victoria ends."

Jingyu nodded and then said, "Song Yufeng, I understand your thoughts. After careful consideration, I feel that now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Here's what we'll do: you go and write an application report regarding the transfer of the four Sui Pian (servants): Shu, Ling, Xi, and Nian. I will put them all under your command. However, the report must be detailed, and you must also go to the Si Sui Tai (a government office) to apologize in person. Do you understand what I mean?"

Upon hearing this, the court fell silent. Even Song Yufeng was stunned. What was this? He was handing over command of the four officials, Shuling, Nian, and Xi, to him?

No, isn't this... too obvious a bias?

"Your Majesty! Please reconsider this matter! The gathering of the annual tributes is no small matter!" the official immediately knelt down and said.

"I also think this is inappropriate!" Immediately afterwards, some ministers also quickly said, mainly because in history, there has never been a single person who has the command of four emperors.

"Alright, I have my own considerations. The war in Victoria must be resolved quickly, and to resolve it quickly, we must use overwhelming force! We cannot afford a large-scale, prolonged war! The faster the war in Victoria is resolved, the better!"
