In the early morning, the Jianji Palace of the Forbidden City was filled with the cabinet officials, Minister of War Yu Jie, and many generals from the Five Army Dudufu. They were gathered to discuss the northern military affairs, guided by a map hanging on the wall.
All the court meetings related to military affairs in the Jin Dynasty were originally held on the 'platform' behind the Jianji Palace, also known as the Platform Summoning.
However, a huge fire that occurred on the platform a few years ago left the inner court unable to spare funds for repair, and Jingtai Emperor had to hold this military meeting in the Jianji Palace.
In the palace at the moment, an old man dressed in armor and with white beard was frowning, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, we must increase our troops by three thousand at Dushi Castle and strengthen the defense in order to be fully prepared!"
