The Emperor always felt that Ling Hua's words were strange, but couldn't pinpoint exactly where they were off, so he had to accept her reasoning.
He thought for a moment and said to Ling Hua, "By the time of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, your wounds should be nearly healed, right? I command the Jingzhao Prefecture and the Warhorses Bureau to be at your disposal during the Empress Dowager's birthday. If Wen Xingzhi comes to the Capital, plan thoroughly so that he cannot escape."
Ling Hua nodded, "Your Majesty trusts me, and I will indeed plan meticulously."
The Emperor's brow remained furrowed with concern. "If I seize Wen Xingzhi, who do you think should take command of Youzhou's 300,000 troops?"
Ling Hua pondered for a while, "Your Majesty has exceptionally promoted Cui Yanshu into the Court, entering the Ministry of War. Do you plan to send him to Youzhou?"
