Judgment of Dayu.

Summary

The chapter details the political maneuvering of Xia Qi, the Grand Minister of Heaven, as he deals with accusations against the Xia Military Government for abandoning vulnerable individuals during a westward migration. Despite receiving secret reports from various prefectures, Xia Qi chooses to suppress them, following the advice of his father, Dayu, to maintain silence and observe the situation. As the prefectures initially set aside their grievances, the Xia Military Government begins reorganizing its forces. However, the Inspector General, feeling the pressure from the prefectures, reports the government's inaction, leading to demands for accountability. The court's sessions change in frequency, and after a month, the Inspector General pushes for a formal appeal against the Xia Military Government. The Grand Minister cannot ignore the appeals and orders an investigation into the abandonment issue. Meanwhile, discussions arise regarding honoring the fallen tribal lord of the Huai Mountain clan and determining his successor, highlighting the importance of governance and the recognition of merit within the court's new policies.
