Together with Chai Wei to the Western Regions was also the decree concerning the handling of Guo Xiao. The emperor was very angry about Guo Xiao losing the city, believing it was due to his carelessness.
Even though the Left Prime Minister of Kucha had repeatedly warned him to be cautious of the people inside the city, he still didn't take it to heart. He didn't even deploy more patrols, which led to the internal collusion with external forces causing this disaster.
So the emperor directly stripped him of his official position.
But after Chai Wei had gone far away, the emperor one day emerged from the main hall and stopped to view the bleak winter scene as the cold wind blew outside.
Gu Zhong hurriedly draped a cloak over him and cautiously said, "Your Majesty, it looks like it's going to snow."
The emperor glanced at the dark clouds in the sky; Gu Zhong was right, it indeed looked like snow was coming. Moments later, snowflakes began to fall gently from the sky.
