In the Imperial Study, after the Emperor and Grandmaster Liu finished discussing official matters, they started chatting about light topics.
Prime Minister He put down his teacup and began, "Your Majesty, Lao Zheng's three sons should arrive in the capital in the next two days."
"Why haven't I heard of this?" the Emperor asked, a hint of displeasure on his face. "I wrote a letter to that old fox Lao Zheng, asking him to bring his three sons back to the capital. That old fox said his health was not good and refused to return to serve."
"Lao Zheng is unwilling to come back." Prime Minister He and Grandmaster Liu often wrote to Zheng Xilin, persuading him to return and serve as Grand Commandant again, but Zheng Xilin consistently refused.
