INT. IMPERIAL COURT - DAY
The grand hall of the imperial court is filled with ministers and officials, their faces a mix of worry and frustration. The emperor sits on his throne, his expression stern as he listens to the heated debate before him. The topic is the increasing pressure from the neighboring dynasties, and the need for stronger defenses.

(Dismissively) "Your Majesty, our resources are stretched thin. We cannot afford to divert more funds to the military without risking the stability of the capital."
CLOSE-UP: THE EMPEROR
