命原吉與禮部尚書呂震、兵部尚書方賓、工部尚書吳中等議，皆言兵不當出。 He ordered Yuanji, together with Ministers Lü Zhen of Rites, Fang Bin of War, and Wu Zhong of Works, to deliberate; all agreed that troops should not be sent.

而吳中入對如賓言，帝益怒。 When Wu Zhong appeared in audience and spoke as Fang Bin had, the Emperor grew even angrier.
