Yelu Yan emerged from the Khan Palace and headed straight for the Hall of Diligent Governance. On the one hand, he ordered the officials responsible for agricultural development to be summoned to the palace; on the other, he had those idling while digging ditches arrested for interrogation.
Yelu Yan was resolute and firm, always one to stick to his words with swift, decisive action. Under his command, the Flame Army and the Ironclad Soldiers, one tasked with external affairs and the other with internal, were fearsome to all, with every soldier skilled in martial arts and utterly loyal to Yelu Yan.
The officials, seeing Yelu Yan seated on the high platform with an inscrutable expression, were terrified and trembled uncontrollably.
As the saying goes, a strong leader has no weak soldiers, and soon the Ironclad Soldiers had clarified the whole sequence of events.
