Zhao Hanzhang returned to the Imperial City and saw Zhao Shen wobbly trying to leave. She immediately called out to him, "You're just in time, I have something to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shen immediately perked up and asked, "Is there going to be a war?"
Zhao Hanzhang thought for a moment and nodded, "Pretty much, although it won't involve swords, it's pretty much like a war, and it's a tough one."
Zhao Shen, the newly appointed Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, had not seen any battles since taking office. Every day, his main task was to quarrel with Chang Ning from the Ministry of Revenue, pushing him to find money to pay military salaries and distribute pensions...
Otherwise, he would be busy counting the number of soldiers needing pensions and settling disabled soldiers...
Having been exposed to tragic affairs, Zhao Shen felt his whole self was tragic, too. So he staggered around, absent-minded, while coming to work and leaving.
