Eunuch Lu: "This humble servant has completed His majesties order and brought the Representative of Huai\'An Prefect Young Master Lie Fan to respond to your decree"

Lie Fan: "Greetings Your Majesty, Lie Fan son of Lie Shang Prefect of Huai\'An arrived here to represent My Father to Answer your call bringing 2.760 Men !" *one knee kneel*

Lie Fan gives his greeting to Emperor Ling and when he looks up he finally saw the famed Emperor Ling who always listened to the 10 attendants, especially Zhang Rang the leader of the 10 attendants

Emperor Ling: "We are happy that many people have answered our call and even a Young Generation such as Young Lie Fan here to show their vigor to serve the Country"

Lie Fan: " It\'s our duty to help The Emperor govern the country and reduce the Emperor\'s burden"

Emperor Ling: "Hahaha you\'re young but already have a honeyed tongue, Young Lie Fan can join the right side for military officials to continue our Court"

Lie Fan: "Please Wait for Your Majesty, as an apology for My Father\'s Absence I have prepared a gift for Your Majesty"

Emperor: "Oh? What give do you prepare for us?"

Lie Fan: "At Huai\'An our merchants have found a new type of wine, Fruit wine, and Beer with a refreshing taste, especially in summer alongside Copper Mirrors, this is not a normal Copper Mirror as Your Majesty can see Your Majesty Majestic, and prestigious look very clear. I have brought 100 jugs and 20 Mirrors each for Your Majesty"

Eunuch Lu: "Your Majesty the gift from Young Master Lie Fan have been seen by this servant and their marvelous invention that Your Majesty has to taste and see as Young Master Lie Fan says that only the most prestigious people can drink this as there\'s only limited supply of them"

Emperor Ling hearing what Eunuch Lu said was intrigued and ordered the servants to bring some of Lie Fan\'s gifts Lie Fan smiled slightly hearing some words Eunuch Lu said, the servants brought 1 jug of Fruit Wine and beer alongside 1 Copper Mirror to show to the Emperor

When everyone saw the Copper Mirror they were astounded as it was so clear they can see reflections plainly, Emperor Ling who received it stand up and goes toward the Mirror surprised when he can see his face so vividly and said that his Queen and concubines will be happy when they receive this gift while laughing merrily

Emperor Ling: "What a wonderful invention this is, Even in the entire palace there\'s no mirror as clear as this one, Young Lie Fan\'s hometown is truly outstanding"

Lie Fan: " Your Majesty\'s praise is too high for this servant-humble hometown, the Capital is the most outstanding city in the entire Han Empire!"

Emperor Ling: "Hahaha! Good I like what you said, servant bring me the wine I wanted to taste it now"

A eunuch arrived bringing 2 bowls and pouring the fruit wine first then the beer second, the eunuch bring the fruit wine first for Emperor Ling to taste, and when Emperor Ling tasted the fruit wine he instantly drinks it empty finishing it, after grabbing the bowl filled with beer drinking it also tasting the cool freshness in his throat

Emperor Ling: "Hah! This is the best drink We have ever tasted in our life, Young Lie Fan must have spent fortunes bringing these as gifts for us"

Lie Fan: "No such thing as the expensive price to buy gifts for Your Majesty, Your Majesty\'s fortune is our Empire\'s Fortune!"

Eunuch Lu: "Young Master Lie Fan was said to have spent almost 200.000 takes for Your Majesty\'s gift, when I ask why he spend so much for Your Majesty he said that Your Majesty only deserves the best from his aides as Your Majesty is the fortune of our Country"

Everyone in the scene hears what Lie Fan said and curses silently as Lie Fan is still young but knows how to praise the Emperor while shocked as Eunuch Lu was praising Lie Fan knowing that he must have been bribed, all of them simultaneously agree with what Lie Fan said and repeat his words loudly

Emperor Ling laughed loudly accepting their compliment telling them all to raise, and then telling the servants to put away the gifts while continues presiding the Imperial court meeting and walking back to his throne

Emperor Ling: "Young Lie Fan not only has a brave heart representing his Father to battle but brings amazing gifts as an apology even though is unnecessary, We commend what he did and give him a royal boon where he can request anything from Us anytime but between Our consideration of course"

Lie Fan: "Lie Fan thank Your Majesty for his gift! I will not let down Your Majesty with my request"

Everyone including Lie Fan was shocked by the boon Emperor Ling give to him beyond his expectation while everyone is jealous about the boon, Eunuch Lu at the side smile at Lie Fan like he was saying that his request has been completed

After a bit of commotion, thanks to Emperor Ling, Lie Fan was dismissed and he join the rank of military officials in the court to continue their meeting discussing The Yellow Turbans

Emperor Ling: "Now does any of you have ideas about what to do against the Yellow Turbans? Those fools you said have risen to rebellion in 4 provinces Ji, Jing, You, and Yu with Yan, Qing, and Xu Provinces in immediate threat as well!"

???: "Your Majesty this general has an opinion to tell Your Majesty"

Emperor Ling: "Lu Zhi can speak freely, please tell us what you want to say"

Lu Zhi: "I think now is the time for action! With Your Majesty\'s infinite wisdom calling for all provincial officials to come bringing their army here and with the Imperial Army, we can start assembling The Han Army to crusade against the yellow turbans!"

???: "I agree with what Sir Lu Zhi said, Your Majesty!"

???: "I also agree and support what Sir Lu Zhi said, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Ling: "Even General Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi agree, then what do the three of you plan to do to fight against the Yellow Turbans?"

Lu Zhi: "With the numbers we have now Your Majesty, The Imperial Army has about 275.000 and alongside the provincial army with a total of more or less 75.000 then we have 350.000 to quell the Main rebellion first destroying the Main armies and killing their leaders then the remnants will be easy to be exterminated."

Emperor Ling: "Hmm, what does General He Jin have to say?"

Lie Fan hears Emperor Ling call for his brother in law the famed general He Jin who will be fascinated by the 10 attendants, he saw a big man with almost gold-colored armor answering Emperor Ling

He Jin: "This General thinks what Sir Lu Zhi, General Huangfu Song, and General Zhu Jun said is true and Sir Lu Zhi\'s strategy can be further down with the three gentlemen will leaeverych 40.000 armies to quell rebellions in each province while the rest 230.000 will be used to guard the Capital and act as reinforcement to the three generals also fighting the Yellow Turbans Main Army"

Emperor Ling: "Okay then we do as General He Jin says, Everyone receives your order!"

All officials whenever it\'s civil or military go down on their knees to receive Emperor LLing\'sedict while some military officials envied Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun for their quick-wittiness

Emperor Ling: "The Han Army will be made with General He Jin as the General In Chief of the army leading 230.000 Men and General Lu Zhi, General Huangfu Song, and General Zhu Jun will be assigned as Imperial Generals with each leading 40.000 men to suppress the rebellion in Ji, Jing, You, and Yu Province bringing it back to peace while cleaning Yellow Turbans remnant that runs to Yan, Qing, and Xu Provinces. Each General will assign their army staff and commanders by themselves. Everyone will be awardees according to their merit on the battlefield!"

Everyone: "We listened to Your Majesty Order!"

Emperor Ling: "The Morning Court is dismissed, everyone can continue to do their duties, and General He Jin please make sure that Our Army is ready in a month as I know calling back the Imperial army from the frontier takes time"

He Jin: "Yes Your Majesty!"

With Emperor Ling leaving the Court, it signaled the end of their meeting and everyone begins to gather up in their groups or clique, Lie Fan who was a Young nameless newcomer and he reach Luoyang late so he is treated like an outcast, while Lie Fan was thinking how to joined up or just start a conversation someone called him

Zhu Jun: "Little Lie why are you standing there alone, come here and join me I will introduce you to my friends"

*walk towards Zhu Jun*

Lie Fan: "General Zhu Jun thank you for inviting me, My Father has said great things about You"

Zhu Jun: "Hahaha that Old Lie still loves to boast about himself I see, come let me introduce you to General Huangfu Song and General Lu Zhi both of them are my friend here in the capital"

Huangfu Song: "Nice to meet you Lie Fan, I\'m Huangfu Song you can just call me Uncle Huang in the future"

Lu Zhi: "Greetings Youngster Lie, I\'m Lu Zhi in the future you can call me Master Lu"

Lie Fan: " Hello Uncle Huang, Hello Master Lu both of you can call me Little Lie like General Zhu Jun, I have heard both of your names in my hometown especially Master Lu as the top scholar in our time now"

Lu Zhi: "I\'m just a humble scholar Little Lie, fame is nothing against the advancement of our life and The Han Dynasty"

Zhu Jun: "Old Lu you\'re still as humble as ever, why don\'t the four of us drink at My home while talking about what just happened?"

Huangfu Song: "Alright I agree we can do that"

Lu Zhi: "Hmm fine I have some textbooks I have to read but I guess I can read them later"

Lie Fan: " I was also invited to General Zhu Jun\'s manor?"
