The Emperor showed some interest and said, "You have such a capable talent by your side; where is he now?"
"He is a long-time friend of mine who accompanied me to the borderlands. Thanks to General Song's discerning eye, he is now serving as a Hundred Households in the army."
"Indeed," said General Song. "This person is quite eloquent, especially when boosting morale. His words can greatly energize the troops. I am delighted to have such a capable person!"
The Emperor laughed heartily, "Very well, very well! The Prince Consort must offer my regards to him!"
Yu Siqiao smiled slightly and said, "He was just telling me a few days ago, expressing gratitude to the army for providing him a place to settle down."
The Emperor, very pleased, looked towards General Song again and said, "General Song has also worked hard, as have Marquis Xuanyuan, the Iron Blood General, Yichuan, and Song Gu. They have all performed well in recent times. Yichuan, how are things on the Western Border?"
