My master was urgently dispatched to the Western Regions to repel the barbarians, and never came back. I took over his post, rising directly from Junior Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review to Commander of the Pacification Bureau, a second-rank official. Three days later, I was to take up my post in Dongzhou. But as soon as I took over, a disaster struck…
My master had pushed me from the position of Junior Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review to Commander of the Pacification Bureau, but he remained forever on the battlefield along the border of Xizhou.
The only thing I could do was protect the fifteen years of work he had put into the bureau and help the Pacification Bureau reach its true peak.
I would make all of Dongzhou a bright new place, shining with fresh promise.
