He trembled and said, "Your Majesty, you cannot dispatch troops to fight Shi Le."
"Why? He's already planning a rebellion. Shi Le is brutal and inherently untrustworthy," the Little Emperor said, "Previously, it was due to coercion by the Xiongnu that the Great General temporarily subdued Shi Le. But now that the Xiongnu are subdued, we are entirely capable of killing Shi Le."
Xun Fan choked on his words, unable to speak for a long time.
In his frustration, he asked, "Who told Your Majesty to oppose Ming Yu and Ji Yuan taking the positions of Secretary of the Imperial Secretariat and Minister of the Imperial Secretariat?"
"My third uncle, along with Assistant Minister Meng Yang, and oh yes, also the Great General's granduncle Zhao Hu," the Little Emperor whispered, "Even that Grandmaster Zhao said that if Ming Yu and Ji Yuan became chief officials, my days would become even harder in the future."
Xun Fan sighed and said, "In the future, Your Majesty should not listen to them."
