Imperial Capital!
Since the outbreak of the war, stacks of memorials and war reports had piled up on Qin Wudao's imperial desk, pouring into the royal city like snowflakes. Because ministers like Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, and Xiao He had all gone to war, Qin Wudao had to review these memorials himself. He managed to get through them all in the first few days. However, as time passed, the memorials continued to accumulate. Even working from dusk till dawn, it became impossible for him to read them all, compelling him to summon Yuan Tiangang from the Imperial Observatory to assist.
In the imperial study, Yuan Tiangang sat to one side, picked up a memorial, and read, "Your Majesty, City Lord Liu Zhiyan of Looking-West City reports that all resources required at the front lines have been sent to the Middle Region. The court needs to dispatch another batch of resources to prepare for unforeseen circumstances!"
