I am the empress's former consort, a third-grade censor, and even the empress is slandering me. Damn it. I am directing wars and developing the economy at the same time. It's not that I want to go to Jiaofangsi, but that the entire Great Yan Dynasty needs me to support me. It's too difficult for me and I need to relax. ... In the sixth year of Tianyuan, Empress Mingjun suddenly built temples and palaces, causing the people to live in poverty and sorrow everywhere. The barbarians took the opportunity to invade and captured thirty-six cities in northern Xinjiang, threatening the capital. Hundreds of officials in the imperial court discussed peace and were willing to donate five million taels of silver, one million pieces of cloth, and countless cattle and sheep! The empress sighed and finally agreed. At this time when his dignity was lost, Xu Chen called the empress a fool and all the officials in the court were useless! The court was shocked and everyone thought that Xu Chen would die. Unexpectedly, the empress promised that as long as Xu Chen could earn one million silver taels within a month and quell the rebellion in Northern Xinjiang, he would be spared from death. A month later, the barbarians retreated. In the court hall, all the officials and the empress fell into a daze as they looked at the nearly tens of millions of dollars.
