Without a moment's hesitation, he rushed to the Imperial Palace to inform Emperor Alfonso about the unfolding crisis.

Upon reaching the palace, the Minister was ushered into Alfonso's presence. The Emperor, immersed in his duties, looked up as the Minister entered. Sensing the urgency, the Minister wasted no time and began to relay the distressing news.

"Your Excellency, we have a critical situation at the Shandong-Hebei borders," the Minister reported. "There's been an attack on civilians attempting to cross, and our soldiers on the ground are caught in a dilemma. We urgently need your guidance on how to proceed."
