The news of victory in the northwest was swiftly delivered to the capital city on horseback. People both inside and outside the capital shared the news, celebrating joyously. The Dayue Dynasty, governed by Duan Ruo, was a major threat to Great Zhou. A year ago, they had flattened their royal court and overthrown their dynasty. This time, Pei Zhan led a force to completely eradicate the roots of trouble, eliminating future threats. Everyone was both excited and worried, repeatedly confirming whether peace in the world had truly come.
"From now on, peace reigns in the world."
The next day marked the Double Ninth Festival, and the emperor ascended the city tower, addressing the people amidst the encirclement of officials.
That day, the joyful cheers and excitement of the city's inhabitants were indescribable.
After the border was pacified, what remained was to "stabilize the interior."
