So, that night, Feng Chang and Yan Huisheng quietly went to the national treasury with a team, secretly moving boxes of silver, jewelry and other valuables, which were handed over to Yan Huisheng.
After Yan Huisheng and his people had moved enough to sustain the 100,000 soldiers at the Duke Residence for a month's military ration, he dispatched people in secret to buy grain and fodder.
Feng Chang returned to his residence before dawn, bathed, changed clothes and wiped the sweat from his body. Then, he hurried to attend the morning court meeting.
During the morning court meeting that day, all was calm.
After the morning meeting, the emperor summoned Yan Huisheng to the Imperial Study Room for a talk.
The emperor asked Yan Huisheng: "Have there been any messages from Zhou Gu and Su Rong? Have you found any detailed information about the situation in Jibei?"
