Kapitel 736: The Port City

Governor Zui Mingze welcomed Sheng Li and took him to the private chamber of the residence. Sheng Li settled on the chaise and put his right palm over his right knee.

"Take your seat," Sheng Li told him, who sat down, keeping his gaze low.

"Changying is the third important city in the Empire. It is closest to the Capital of Han, which means any instability in Changying can create repercussions in Luoyang too. Mingze, you went to war with me, yet you are unable to get control over this," Sheng Li said with a dejected look.

Mingze got down from his seat on his knees. "Forgive me, Your Majesty," Mingze lowered his head.

"I am truly apologetic for my negligence. I am ready to get the punishment," Mingze said with guilt.

Sheng Li got infuriated upon hearing Mingze. He shouted at him. "Mingze! Is it about the punishment? Do you think by punishing you, the problem will be solved? Since when did you become a coward?" He had lost his temper.
