"Yuan Ming, let's discuss this matter after the ceremony," the young emperor persuaded.But Yuan Ming just smiled, shook his head at him, and then turned to address the civil and military officials of the court, loudly declaring, "Gentlemen, regarding the assassination attempt on my envoy mission to the Southern Border, both the captured Noble King and the slain Lin Junsheng were mere puppets under someone's control. The true mastermind behind this is someone else."
