Cen Ranzhi of the Jiangdong Circuit stood at the lead. He did not seem taken aback by Li Yunzheng's words. He calmly said, feigning innocence, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. After receiving the imperial edict in Jiangdong Circuit, I traveled a day and a night back to the capital. How could I disobey if Your Majesty wants to see me?"
Following that, the Jiangbei Circuit's Great General Wu said, "Your Majesty, it takes at least 10 hours to travel from Jiangbei Circuit to the capital. If I plan to disobey the edict, how could I dare to appear in the capital at this time? Your Majesty, please try to understand!"
Then, the other Great Generals chimed in, "Please try to understand, Your Majesty."
