The Capital Mayor naturally knew the significance of these five Xiongnu bandits and repeatedly assured Liu Wu that they would be closely monitored.
Subsequently, Liu Wu entered the palace and reported Wuwei's words to the emperor verbatim.
After hearing this, the emperor instructed Sun Kui to call Prime Minister He, Grandmaster Liu, and Shen Hu along with others to the Imperial Study.
The group discussed in the Imperial Study for a long time, only concluding around noon.
When Zhao Yao finished his studies, he was told by Tong Xi that the emperor had summoned the Xiongnu envoys during the morning court session.
"Is there a banquet for the Xiongnu envoys tonight?"
Although the Great Zhou did not favor the Xiongnu people and did not welcome them to the Great Zhou, now that they were here and had been for several days, it was only right and courteous to host a banquet for them.
"Tomorrow at noon; the emperor has ordered all ministers and princes to attend."
